Chapters (5)
I knew Evil Flash that Twilight and Starlight fought is the one who replaced Sombra… thank god! I am so relieved you didn't forced Sombra back to his old villain way cause that would undermine his redemption.
Look like we are getting a proper match between Flash and his evil counterpart.
Very interesting Shroudheart sees all different universes and know the outcomes, which would make him even more dangerous than Canon Sombra.
I have a feeling we see the full roster of Legion of Doom by the end of the story (if Flash's vision is true, then we will see them at the end of the story)
Here's highlight
Please, not Sombra, not Sombra, please!
That was relief… Evil Flash's here!
After years of being called Evil Flash, he finally got his own name.
Hi, Discord. (Yeah, you are not fooling me, Discord)
The scary thing about this is Shroudheart knew Grogar is Discord and he could spill the beans anytime he want to but he chose not to.
Evil Flash mentioned the cartoon friendship is magic.
So is he saying he knows grogars secret?
11500154
Correct
Oh boy, we're finally here! My favorite storyline from the series has begun!
Looks like my theory that the Evil Flash would replace Sombra was correct. I also like the name he has given himself; "Shroudheart". Much more creative than just "Evil Flash", and now it will be less confusing when he faces his counterpart. Though him explaining what happened to him after he faced Twilight, Starlight, and Spike was pretty terrifying. Existing outside of time unable to do anything but watch. I remember he suffered a similar fate in his debut when each time the timeline was changed he became intangible, unable to interact with the world, and had to wait for the years to pass the long way, which he suffered for over a century. This kind of thing seems to happen to him a lot, though the benefit of him now knowing everything about the different universes and outcomes makes him even more dangerous.
This also has me curious though. If this is all the members of this villain team up, then what were all the others in Flash's vision supposed to be for? Could they join later, or maybe there is a separate villain team up in the works? Either way I'm excited to see what they are capable of.
That's pretty cool actually. Trixie has come a long way in a short time. I guess her finishing her studies with Luna would explain how she could potentially get a job at the School of Friendship, assuming that will still happen.
Part of me is worried about Flash keeping his knowledge of the future a secret from Twilight and the others. What if when he finally reveals what he knows they get mad at him for knowing his fate for so long and not telling them?
Oh so Faker finally makes an appearance after S5 finale (wow it's been a while!
) Since Faker has seen all those different timelines (including the canon one) I wonder if he's gonna blow the whistle on Grogar there (if it's who we think it is 
) Also wonder when the other creeps will join the Legion of Doom (if that vision Flash had was any indication) later down the road?
Highlights for this chapter are as follows! :
Yeah about that Rares.......!
HA HA enter Trollestia!!!
I wanted that one to stick as well to be honest!
And enter Faker!
Huh now this will make things interesting going forward.......can't wait!!!
The evil players are gathering, looking forward to the mayhem that's coming next chapter Banshee!
just gonna call it Shroundheart will betray them all
Look like Shroudheart is teaming up with Mean Flash and he already got Crystal Empire in his hoof.
Fortunately, Sombra doesn't give in to his magic but unfortunately, Shroudheart got both Ruby and Jaden brainwashed.
Hopefully Flash and the heroes can stop him before it's too late.
Here's highlights
Grogar is actually Discord, oh please, I ain't falling that, Discord.
Mean Flash is back!
Yeah! Don't let that imposter control you, Sombra!
Oh, just great! He got a Royal Knight in his hoof!
Doesn't help that he knows every outcome, so he is going to be difficult for the heroes to fight against.
was wondering if the clone would show back up.
So l evil Flash die like Sombra or will he survive to reveal it was part of another plan
They will have to face a lot of drama when the time to move comes.
Oh boy, if what I think it's gonna happen regarding Mean Flash recruitment by Faker then he would have been better for Mean Flash to stay in that cottage!
Glad that Sombra snapped out of Faker's control when he tried that during Crystal Empire takeover, otherwise his redemption arc would have been wasted! 
On a side note I still think poorly of Celestia/Luna regarding Twilight's taking the throne right away instead of a few months later, I mean they *DO KNOW* Twilight's freak-out when things are dumped on her so suddenly!!!
Maybe it's just me but they deserve a donkey-punch to the back of their heads for that!!! 
While we wait for our heroes to come to the rescue, here are some Highlights! :
Ouch Faker's spreading nasty burns all around (himself included
)
Mean Flash's gonna regret this isn't he???
Exactly my point, glad someone said it out loud!
HA denied Faker!!!
So looking forward for the upcoming flank-kicking on Faker here!!!
Next week can't get here fast enough, till then Banshee!!!
This is getting intense! Shroudheart has officially decided to strike out on his own, but it seems like he has a slightly different plan in mind than Sombra.
Interesting to see him recruit Mean Flash to his plan, and that Mean Flash has less than a year to live. I thought that Mean Flash was the Token Good Teammate of the clones, but seeing him willingly going along with Shroudheart's plan due to his fear of dying and declaring his hatred of Flash, maybe I misjudged him. I wonder what his role in Shroudheart's plan is? Though part of me thinks it might have something to do with the Tree of Harmony's destruction in this version.
Meanwhile, everyone seems to be handling the news that Twilight will be ruler of Equestria differently, as well as what that means for Flash and his charges. I actually forgot that since Scootaloo is Flash's little sister, she needs to stay with him and move to Canterlot with him. That's sad since it means it will essentially be like "The Last Crusade" with the CMC splitting up. Though hopefully it is mitigated since Canterlot is a lot closer and they have the Rune Gates, but still.
this does make me wonder if clone flash will live or die and if Evil Flash will offer to revive Clone twilight
Oh dear, Shroudheart have now Ponyville under his control after destroying Tree of Harmony.
I hope Flash and Mane Six figure out quickl before it's too late.
Considered what happened in Dragon's Awakening, Heart is learning from his mistake.
That's good in-universe explanation of why his plan is so similar to Sombra one.
RIP
Tree of Harmony.
We will never forget you.
Okay, this Flash is definitely a pervert for saying that to the girls!
Uh…. About that…
Flash just jinxed it.
I am assumed Rogue is one of them that got brainwashed by Shroudheart?
Man, you didn't have to make Shroudheart do them dirty like that lol. Like DAMN, I'm surprised the heroes didn't instantly die from that burn!
Also, I'm likely going to regret asking this. What was this obsession with Caribou that the fandom had for some reason?
This is intense! The Crystal Empire is saved, but only because Shroudheart lost on purpose. Now Ponyville and all of Equestria is vulnerable against him. I like how you expand on Sombra's plan from canon a bit, with it being explained how the Elements and Tree were vulnerable for a bit due to the Elements being removed. But the really scary thing though is that whatever Shroudheart has planned, Mean Flash's role in it is still unknown to everyone; and not just to us but to the heroes and even the Legion as well. Now I'm almost tempted to think that Shroudheart is just planning to use him to fake his own death if he is defeated, but that is really just a small guess since literally anything could happen.
Chrysalis is definitely speaking from experience about being the most vulnerable when you think you've won. It is interesting to see the villains were apparently watching the whole time instead of Grogar just showing them the end results afterwards.
That is going to be a gut-punch for everyone when they get out of the trap. The first ones placed under Shroudheart's control were not just Spike and Starlight, but Flash's mentor and the love-interests of the Mane 5 (well Soarin is technically Rainbow's husband now but that makes it worse).
he really hit them hard and played them like chumps and now everyone in danger he worse then sombra ever was
Look like it going to be a bittersweet victory, if they defeated Shroudheart, they would sealed Flash's fate as whoever going to be the one to force Flash to sacrifice his life (Hopefully, Flash will find a way)
Here's highlights
I am still wondering the task he gave to Mean Flash is either breaking all dangerous villains that Flash and others faced in the past or using him to have him killed instead when Flash and the girls blasted on them?
Finally! A match everyone waiting for! Flash Sentry VS. Flash Shroudheart!
IS THAT'S A STAR WARS REFERENCE?!?!?!
I have a feeling Shroudheart is most likely talking about Shadow Corrupter/Void since out of Flash's enemies, he absolutely hates Flash the most and going by Shroudheart's description, all fingers or hooves pointing at Shadow Corrupter.
Oh boy, it's go time! Go Flash!
Dang, went out of town for a week to come back into the dumpster fire that Faker created here for our heroes on these last 2 chapters!
Faker's pretty much leaning into the *I know how things are gonna play out ha ha* crap, can't wait for this *future* to blow into his fat face!
And now it's Highlights Time! :
lol time to get down & dirty Rares!
What, were you expecting a parade or something???
Hmmm that almost sounds like a certain Deluded one that we all hate....
Let the beatdown commence......hopefully unto Faker's flank!!!
Looking forward to the end of this showdown Banshee!
Oh boy, things just keep getting intense. The final battle against Shroudheart is here, but I'm more concerned with what happens afterwards.
Shroudheart warns Flash that even if he defeats him somehow, his future, the same one the Future Fire Heart warned him about, will still come to pass. We still don't know a lot of specifics, but the really interesting part was how he said it was "the one who hates you the most". With that in mind, I have a bad feeling he is referring to Shadow Corrupter/Void. He is the most dangerous villain Flash has ever faced and the closest thing he has to an arch-enemy, so it would make total sense if he were the final villain of the series. Not to mention he pretty much gave a Dying Declaration of Hate to Flash when Fire Heart defeated him, exclaiming his hatred for Flash would destroy him someday, even if he's not the one to do it personally. But I still believe that regardless of what Shroudheart says, Flash can still change the future.
The other part that has me concerned is whatever is going on with Mean Flash. Shroudheart said his entire plan apparently relies on whatever task he gave him being done in time. That certainly doesn't inspire confidence. Interestingly, Mean Flash did say earlier that he hates the real Flash, but I doubt he is the one Shroudheart described. Still, he isn't someone the heroes can afford to leave unresolved, but first they need to learn of his existence.
Big talk coming from the guy that's trying to kill him as he says this!
Why am i getting the feeling the clone is after a certain bell.
I get the feeling Flash is about to do something like a super saiyan thing next chapter
Very interesting and unexpected ending.
I am rather surprised Grogar or Discord chose to not recruit guys like Doom Raizer, Storm Blade, Big Score, Banshee, Shake Shocker etc since they are Flash's greatest enemies (okay, maybe not Big Score but you get my point)
Here's highlights
Well, that was rather anti-climax to be honest with you.
Huh… I thought he said… oh no…
Oh no…
NOT HIM!!!!!
Aw… great!
It's the return of Deluded One's pet! Armalum! 
so does that mean the clone is no more just taken over?
our heroes and villains all in danger
This is quite the heart stopping moment.
Will you also be able to continue with "Flash Sentry's EQG chronicles?"
Wow, nice ending! I believe Doctor Strange put it best:
So heading into the final season, we not only have the Legion of Doom to deal with, but now Shroudheart has somehow resurrected Armalum! I guess that's why he needed Mean Flash's help; to dig up Armalum's mask and serve as his new body. What happened to him was pretty freaky though. That's practically a fate worse than death.
I wonder what Armalum will have planned for the future? Will he try to get revenge on his own, create his own villain team-up, or try to somehow bring his master back to life?
Quite the cliffhanger for the final season here with Junkpile's return (seriously can't he just stay dead???!!!
) Also I had a feeling mean Flash was gonna be cannon fodder by Faker regarding digging out that damn mask & sadly I was right! 
Can't wait to see how wild S9 will turn from here on out Banshee! 
For final Highlights! :
Oh don't worry Faker, you will be failure-gagging in a few!
Oh ho ho hooooo.......Bookhorse called you out on your bullcrap Faker!!!
Oh heck no!
And here's Junkpile!!!!
Looking forward to what happens from here on out, great work Banshee!!!
Please tell me that "Grogar" isn't actually Discord masquerading as Grogar like in canon. In this context, it makes Discord look even dumber and more irresponsible than in canon. I mean, summoning a being who probably knows your real identity and could use that information against you? Why?!
Okay, I see Twilight's anxiety comes with the mom friend override. (It's a thing I saw on Twitter. Basically, the mom friend override when someone is too anxious to do something for themselves but suddenly becomes more than willing to do the thing if someone they care about is in need of it.)
Also, in the show staff's defense, they were probably in a hurry to wrap up the series, so they might have rushed through some parts of the story that they probably shouldn't have.
Oh, good gosh! He's toying with them. That lousy evil variant is toying with them. Why else would he enact a plan that he already saw fail in multiple different timelines? Also, assuming that Grogar is actually a fake like in canon, why didn't he just unsummon Shroudheart? As if getting Tirek, Cozy, and Chrysalis to team up wasn't enough of an unnecessary risk!
Everything still feels a little too similar to canon still, which is weird.
Gosh! What is he planning? 
Good gosh! I still can't figure out what this guy's angle is. Everything is still playing out pretty much the same way that it did in canon, but why?
It kinda disgusts me that she basically said what I've been saying this whole time.
Wait. So, Shroudheart's consciousness merged with that of Armalum and those of his previous hosts? Gee, that's not creepy.
This will be an interesting chapter in season 9. I wonder who Scootaloo will chose to live with in season 9 her parents, Rainbow and Soarin, her godparents?
11512207
I was also wondering what that Caribou reference
Is that a Lord of the Rings reference?
Monokuma: Did somebody say despair?
Also why didn’t Fluttershy use her shrinking and growing powers?
Great story. I’ve spent the previous weeks/month rereading the previous entries and I cant wait to see what happens in season 9
I am looking forward to Season 9. I just have one question: are you going to do an upgrade on the canon "Sweet and Smokey" episode? Because I swear that was the worst of that entire season. At least I don't like it. And I'm sure you can make a version a hundred times better. I just hope you plan on making one. If not, it doesn't matter. It is your story and you decide. Great job and best of luck.
