Well, I have to say, you did an EXCELLENT job on the start to the latest story in this series. The action is quite well done, as are the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I particularly liked the "bait" argument, the start to Rarity's day and the reveal of her new ability.

Rainbow: Aww, man. ANOTHER one gets her power before me? All I can say is that, when MY power finally comes, it had better be WELL worth the wait.

Twilight: Now, Rainbow. Please calm down.

Rainbow: Easy for YOU to say. You're already the best of us when it comes to magic.

Sorry about that. Just couldn't resist the scene image for some reason.

At any rate, I will certainly be looking forward to the next chapter, but will also completely understand the need for real world concerns to come first.

Once more, this is a superbly done chapter. I just loved the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I particularly liked the others' reactions to Rarity's new ability AND the fact that Twilight actually has a gadget for hunting underwater creatures. And hey, I'm not much better with names myself, so I have no room to talk. :-D

At any rate, I will very certainly be looking forward to more of this, but will also respect the fact that real world concerns have to come first.

Hello there. Thanks greatly for getting the next chapter up. It took a while, but was WELL worth the wait. Again, the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up are all quite well done in all the right places. I particularly liked the arguments and the reaction to the very-near-future encounter with the sea creature they are hunting.

Applejack: I hope this isn't going to go TOO badly.

Twilight: Out of all of us, you've got the best chance of making it long enough for help to arrive, considering your durability was increased along with your strength.

Applejack: What do you mean?

Twilight: It's just common sense. After all, your skin and bones would have to be made tough enough for you to use your augmented strength without hurting yourself. To put it in TV Tropes and Idioms terms, it is a Required Secondary Power. That's how you were able to take that surprise shot from Rarity's gem construct without any serious harm. Kind of like, for example, if Rainbow were to gain super-speed, she would need to have her reflexes and thought processes sped up too in order to move at said speed without accidentally hitting anything as long as she were on full alert.

Pinkie: Twilight! NO SPOILERS!

Rainbow: What the heck are you talking about, Pinkie?

Sorry about that. For some reason, I had the image of that exchange in my head and it had to come out. Of course, if you didn't like the imaginary exchange, I can completely understand.

At any rate, I will also be eagerly looking forward to more of this, but will also be willing to understand that real world concerns need to come first.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to you too. :-D

Thanks! BTW I love your imaginary exchanges!
Ok, from now on the required secondary powers are there, even if It does not explicitly state it. Aj and Rainbow have the things you just mentioned. For the most part I just like to keep things simple.

Fair enough. And thanks very much. :-D

Again, great job on this latest chapter. The exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. I particularly liked how Twilight and the others prepared for the underwater part of the adventure. Yeah, I'm very definitely going to be looking forward to more of this, but will also understand if I need to be patient.

Oh, and Happy Holidays. :-D

Hello there. VERY good job on the final chapter of this story. Once again, excellent job on the exchanges, characterizations, general story wrap-up and future story set-up in all the right places. I particularly liked your introduction to THIS universe's Steven (even more particularly Rarity's rather successful attempt to reason with him) .

Rainbow: Yeah. Saving the best for second-to-last. (starts reading a comic book involving a super-speedster hero)

Twilight: What are you doing?

Rainbow: Well, I already know I'm going to get my power next story and I have a pretty good idea what it's going to be. So I'm trying to be prepared by reading about a hero who uses A LOT of REALLY cool super-speed tricks. Once I get my speed, I can practice until I'm able to do those tricks too.

Twilight: You mean like vibrating fast enough to phase through solid objects, spinning your arms around fast enough to create a whirlwind, producing large amounts of static electricity that you can use offensively, moving fast enough to produce after-images to confuse your enemies? Stuff like THAT?

Rainbow: And, there you go. Having to spoil a cool image by explaining it in such an egghead manner
.

Oopsie. Got a little carried away there.

Anyway, I'll very definitely be looking forward to the next story, but will also be very willing to be patient.

And, once again (assuming I DID say it before), Happy Holidays. :-D
