Wheller


Surprise!

T

Vinyl Scratch has travelled with Princess Luna to the far off land of South Island, the homeland of the kangaroos in order to return an ancient artefact to it's resting place. The two ponies quickly find themselves walking across the South Island Outback where they meet an old friend along the way.

Ah....so whatever is going to happen in THIS mega-series will involve Luna gathering together the grouping of ponies from "Long Road Home"; also, poor Vinyl. :fluttershysad:

Very interesting start. Still wondering why luna doesn't just give vinyl her sight back, I'm sure she could. Oh well.

At first i was like "Someone made a mistake or is trolling us" :trollestia:

Given that the title means "Nothing New Under The Sun", I should think that Celestia is somehow involved in all of this; even though she doesn't consciously remember the "Kindness of Strangers" timeline right now, that might be subject to change.

wonder who the kangaroo remembering them is hmmm

and if the others declared him crazy if he said his memories out loud lol

Teebs isnt in the army soo one of the commandos maybe,cant wait for the next chapter

Okay....we've got Monty trying very hard to do something misguided because he thinks he's saving the world and we've got at least one more person who remembers the 'Kindness of Strangers' timeline. We've also got Vinyl the Atoner trying very hard to take the hit for the whole blasted world alone. Thing is that she's not alone, though, is she?

Important thing to remember. Think back to what Luna said, the only people who remember are people with significant exposure to the artefact. Who do we know with significant exposure?

Oh snap, it came from south island, which means one of our kangaroo friends probably found it and shipped it to twilight.

Ooh, wonder who the kangaroo is

12565
Whoever he is, he's driving that tank.

Just curious, what happened to Celestia (Sun)? You never did explain at the end of "And so it ended, and so it began again." Did she come back with her memories? is she ruling again with Luna? did Luna do the whole thing to Celestia with the alternate memories and such like Celestia did to Luna? It's driving me mad. I must know! :applecry:

12658

It will mostly be explained later. What I can tell you is this, they both rule together, only this time around, Luna forced herself to become Nightmare Moon so that Celestia would banish her to the moon, that way Twilight Sparkle and her friends would defeat her and set everything as it was supposed to be.

Luna sacrificed herself so that Twilight Sparkle could learn what it means to have friends.

d'awwwwww ,well at least it was for a good cause

....not to self....do NOT let vinyl drive a tank in this world.

Great. As if they didn't have enough to worry about, they've got bandits to contend with.

Well. it was a hard choice for her to make but ultimately the right one...not just for her but for all the peoples of her world.

12384 It's Willoughby. It was in the epilouge part of the last one.

Hmmmm......Not only do we get a bit of a reminder of where the ponies Willoughby befriended are, we also remind ourselves that not everyone would want to know what once was....or, for that matter, survive it. Imagine, for instance, sweet little Fluttershy remembering becoming Murdershy.:pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp:

Oh, groovy; the poor misguided fool wants to undo all the good Emerald Sparkle did way back when and it'll probably be up to the grouping of ponies from "Long Road Home" to clean up the mess if he succeeds.

ALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU OVER VINYL BEING ABLE TO SEE AGAIN ALALALALA :derpytongue2:

SUPERBALL :pinkiecrazy:

I'd find the name funnier if I didn't see it as a cover-up for Vinyl's inner turmoil :fluttercry:

man am i glad that THAT world is gone. cause its jacked the FUCK up.

Okay, so maybe their last link to the old timeline looks to be gone; that does NOT by any stretch of the imagination mean that their troubles are over. The real fight, whatever form it might take, is just beginning.

I'm getting a vibe that says there's still another way to restore the old world memories.
Montana wouldn't sabotage a train car containing only two ponies for no apparent reason :moustache:

Should we be worried that Monty has gone to ground in the vastness that is Cossack territory or be relieved that Vinyl and Willoughby have sorted things out?

I wrote this, so both :derpytongue2:

I thought as much; all they've done is stop him from executing Plan A. Plan B is still, as the Yanks say, in play.

Oh crap... this isn't going to end well. :fluttercry:

shhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.....

Oh, goody!!:pinkiegasp::pinkiegasp: You promised an end with horror and you delivered!! I doubt that Zecora will appreciate this little Surprise all that much. :fluttercry:

I picture a train running for an uncalculated amount of time, somewhere

I only know that name from the episodic "Sam and Max" games. What was the origional reference? :rainbowhuh:

...ah, horse apples. Scratch was PHYSICALLY in the old world for a moment there, wasn't she? IE: She is suffering from radiation poisoning, isn't she?

:applejackconfused::pinkiegasp::rainbowderp::twilightoops:

The Sam & Max games are some of my favourites. :pinkiehappy:

Drugs, typicaly a one two punch of Coke and heroin.

Weeeellllll fuck. :facehoof:

An awesome installment to the 'Bonds of Eternity' series. I think you did a great job bringing out the emotion from Vinyl Scratch and Benjamin Willoughby, can't say much about Luna. I loved Vinyl's two dream segments, especially the one with Octavia. It's almost like that fictional world was taunting her, reminding her of mistakes she'd already spent a lot of time regretting.

Intensity got ramped up with the conflict between Benny and Vinyl, so that was a really nice part. At least it ended happily. Now for Zecora and Surprise on the other hand... :rainbowderp:

I'm still waiting for them to seize power!!!

And Luna couldn't fly them out of the minefield because...?:ajbemused:

This is my face. -->:pinkiecrazy: Except not pinkamena.
