Chapter 10, "Rough talk with the griffons," Part C

Now we go to the POV of the Bad Guys.

Back in the military headquarters in Canterlot.

Where?

Seriously, Story can't seem to make up its mind over whether the Chinese have set up their main HQ in Canterlot or in Ponyville. The key seems to be that the invaders occupied "Twilight's castle," and Author seems to be unsure about just which castle this happens to be.

Thank you Netflix, Thank you Disney, Thank you Louis Leterrier, any problems I had with you before now are forgiven!
This is tremendous, a big-budget show with an artistic objective at its source.
Watch it if you can.
Here's to a great next season and many more shows like it afterwards.

(I don't actually know if Disney had anything to do with this but if they did, good on them. If not, hopefully they're taking notes)

Hey guys, so I come to you with a request. The FCC is planning to get rid of Net Neutrality. The basic idea of it is a fair and free internet. It doesn't cost us money to access websites like Twitter, Amazon, Steam, ESPN, CNN, iTunes, etc. And the FCC's plan is to get rid of that free access to those websites. We can still go on them, but the speeds will be much slower. If we want to have the regular internet speed, we'll have to pay money. This diagram explains it better

So, as you all know, I have some occasional MLP-related dreams I like to share at times, but this one was... very different. It was one of the longest dreams I've ever had (and one of the best). How I could describe it... if you've ever seen the episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Inner Light," my experience was very similar to Captain Picard's, in which a single dream I had felt like it lasted for several years.

This is a real shame. I have been doing my research and the Jim Henson Production and Netflix are looking to continue the story in other ways in the future but the series itself has indefinitely been called off.
This is a bummer. The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance was masterfully designed with traditional puppetry, innovative in story and world-building and made with love and care like no other in a while.

Hey everypony! I just thought I'd let anyone who enjoyed the first story in this series that I wrote a sequel! It should end up being about the same length as the first story, maybe a little longer.

Why not check it out?

I know lockdown's on its way out but there are a lot of things I've been meaning to binge-watch.
I got Netflix a while ago and can heartily recommend The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Green Eggs and Ham. Brilliant storytelling and impeccable artistry with daring retro expertise with modern capabilities, they are the start of something good for the 2020s Entertainment Industry.
Now what about Disney?

The "Chase" arc was one of the earliest parts of the story I had planned for The Iron Horse, and many of the ideas I had made it into the final version around 2 years later when I finally got around to it. For instance (note that I'll be using spoilers before the break for those who haven't read that far yet and none after the break):

1. Umahara was always going to switch sides.
