To Dance in Shadow.

Good start. Goooooood start!

You had my curiosity but now you have my attention.

So, is there some inspiration from the Matrix in here? It almost seems as such, but dang this seems pretty intense.

Snuggle Buddy is best pony!

My first thought was the Bugs were trying to siphon love from a pony with intimacy issues, and put him in therapy while cocooned, then when the pony's colors were pointed out, Luna had a sex change operation!

Srsly, I'm seeing it too.

Mind control parasites? Not sure what to think bout that. Though it kinda fits with your typical works with the changelings, making em more alien and scifi like.

Chrysalis was more into deception and trickery. Mariposa was more into parasites. But, but absorbing so much of Chrysalis' drones, Mariposa now has both. She commands disease, plagues, sickness, she makes weakness. She's forced Chrysalis to take on a new role and apply herself.

6467910 ....... Would that mean you could easily defeat her using that illness repellign spell Cadance can do and a bottle of antihestimine?

The second part was a joke.

Not saying that is not a dangerous power, just that ponies have a means to repel it.

You might block some of her diseases, but her parasites are a whole different beast.

6467963 eh debatable. depends on the term disease being used. though i guess you can't repel what already got inside you.

though there are definitely a few questions to answer. though will wait and see when they are.

Ooh, parasitic warfare. That's nasty.

Oh good, I'm not the only one that got kind of a Matrix vibe.

*remembers the papercut chapter*
*shudders*
dude. I had forgotten about that one. Dammit, now I'm remembering it.

Oh, so it's this kind of concept! Awiaiting chapters with the other harmony memebers if they're alive.

A bitt too rushed for my liking. Can I haz Enviroment Descriptions?

EDIT: Do we get other Luna clones, best two ones that reasemble s01e01 Luna and Nightmare Moon? Any chances for XCOM2 refrence for the gamers? (as it's vaguely a simlar genere)

For environment, I sorta skipped over that on purpose. Sideralis can't see very well, and everything is seen from his perspective. In time, we'll be seeing more of what he sees.

And yes, we will see other Luna clones. Perhaps even successful ones.

Edit: Wait until the introduction of the airship.

6468675 Cheezburger iz sad. Even a mentation of a blurry wall makes a story more immersive. Maybe remember that if you're gonna make edits?

Any chances for friendly ones? Is there a possibility that his brokeness is in a way am advantage?

I have a good feeling bout this one I think this story is gona be great

Mariposa. Queen Mariposa. A member in relation to the Monarch butterfly genus is a Mariposa.
Her name is Queen Queen. No relation to Moon Moon.

Bio- and asymetric warfare? Chrysalis being calculating and malevolent as we all know she is, but on Twilight's side? Luna clones? A tale of brutal war, loss and triumph?

I'm hooked

I'm feeling... Matrix. This has a Matrix feel. Also, the only good bug, is a dead bug. We all know that.

Mariposa, also the Spanish word for butterfly.

I I subscribed when you said Twilight killed a thousand Changelings.

Okay this chapter got me. I really didn't expect Chrysalis to be on the good side. Keep it up.

It's like the matrix

BUT BETTER!!!!

Right, initial guess was off base but not by terribly much. New revision: Matrix Raquel plot, albeit that the resistance can't return into the 'Matrix' and there's no point fighting inside there anyway. And it's a little less hopeless than the matrix resistance was.

Holy freggin' crap. Yes everyone, it is similar in style to the Matrix. I think it's been said enough now.

Now then, my question is, how far down does this rabbit hole go? Is Chrysalis the actual enemy and she's got a double-layered dream to make ponies believe in her and love her?

I approve...

Okay. Now it isn't just similar.
This is literally Discount Matrix.

Calling it now: he's still in a pod. Double fantasy.
