8720049 Yeah, the Heart is most likely destroyed, unless Sombra wants to turn it into a dark magic battery or something. As for the Elements, well Luna(?) destroyed them once before but they simply reformed because of the mane 6. If Luna(?) did that again all that will do is cause the elements to reform again near their bearers.
Its best (in my opinion) to lock them up somewhere and tell no one where they are.
As she passed through the group of soldiers, she reverted the whips back into her original cyan wings and took off into the air once again. She sped towards an unsuspecting griffon that was taking aim at Twilight and slammed into him, pinning him to the side of the main building with a tendril formed hoofblade.
You know, i get the impression that Alex Mercer is to the Battletoads as Death is to War.
I'm just wondering how Pinkie would like to use the Blacklight virus for parties and I feel so sorry for Flutters. Her animal friends likely won't ever trust her again.
8720745 On which aspect? I CAN say that that references Prototype, Darksiders and Battletoads. And also, Alex Mercer and Death are slightly less durable and caution is encouraged, though they can hold themselves in battle. Meanwhile, the Battletoads and War are pretty much encouraged to charge in all
8720920 Just the comparison in general. Are talking about the concept of death and war, or the characters? And if it is the characters (when I read your comment I immediately thought of Darksiders) how do they react to one another?
8720928 The characters ant their playstyles. Also, if you've ever played a Battletoads game (my favourite was played on the MAME emulator) you'd know that their bodies can briefly change form for an attack. from anything as mundane as spiked fists to drills to ram horns if doing a headbutt. They aren't nearly as agile as Alex Mercer by a long shot, but they're tougher and stronger.
I've been mainly focused on this story up until now, but since I've reached my goal of 15000 words in the story, I'm gonna try to find a good balance between this and my other story Sparkle (I really need to get on that and get another chapter out).
That was a fantastic action scene. Gotta say - I'd raised concerns in the earlier chapters about lack of gravitas surrounding atrocities, especially consuming, but Rainbow was well done here. I have no complaints. Also good to see the rest of the gang trickling in. Giving Rarity the ability to shapeshift (first) was a stroke of brilliance... it really does suit her well. Without skipping ahead, I'm guessing Musclemass is Applejack's immediate forte.
8732415 Believe me when I say that I'm all too aware of your complaints with how characters react to situations like ones the mane 6 find themselves in in my story. I have the same complaints when I read other stories like these.
Know though, that my first and foremost priority when writing a story is making believable characters. I may not always succeed but I most certainly always try. Just give it some time and I'm sure your issues will be addressed.
8969754 late reply I know but the heart amplifies emotion if the dominant emotion is despair then even those who don't know of it will feel decreased morale and lack of hope
Two more found, two more to go. I doubt either the Elements or the Heart are still exist at this point.

The action scene was wonderful. No need to worry about it, dear author

Well thank you for saying so dear reader.

I gotta admit, this one went straight over my head.

And why Battletoads?

Aaaah, I getcha.
But yeah, I haven't played Battletoads or Darksiders, so I guess I was destined to miss comparison.
Very good job and nice pace of publishing these chapters
8720957 Fair enough.

"Oh come on!" Rainbow Dash cried,
THAT'S SWEETIE BELLE'S LINE!!!
Also, would it be called the Harmony Virus instead of the Mercer virus... hmm...

Call back to Season 1 Episode 25 'Party of One' I presume? Understandable.
...Yanno. I acutally think Luna is the secret saviour in this fic. she's only pretending to betray her sister again.

How would he even do that to the heart? In the comics (yes I know they're not canon) he could hardly touch the thing when it had low power.

Honestly? This might be my most favorite chapter yet. You write action scenes very well!
