I don't know which of us added Freddy Frazbear's, but that's hilarious
I'm awaiting cries about the cliffhanger.
Bah, I want to keep working more on this!!! And nope, sorry everyone else, no spoilers

Amazing. 11/10. I can't wait for the next chapter.
To quote a certain Qrow...
You haven't seen anything yet.
4945620 Didn't we explain that like 8 chapters ago?
Ok, 100 € that Catseye tries something in the worst possible moment, the laws of narrative casuality demand it.
On other order of things, Discord dialogue was pure epic, and made this chapter very enjoyable and a good breather for what is coming.
4945831 Right....
4945760 Yeah, but how do they react to this news? I'm scared that Broken Pedestal may ensue for TCB!Lyra... though given the Bag's power, she was very likely just as much an unwitting pawn as much as an unwitting instigator of doom.

4945885 ...good question. Doesn't change that even if she made a mistake, damn if she didn't fix it well. I mean damn :o
No matter what she may have done, she's still a hero.
4945921 True... But man, the fact that it's the definition of "for want of a nail" (and Lyra wasn't even aware of the bag and its power) is gonna hit pretty hard.
What is that song from? Blazing Saddles?
4945957 I had this vision in my head of Acevedo burning his research because it's too horrible.
4945987 Or just state that a group of scuba diving friends found the ship and were close enough to the bag to be hypnotized by it to bring it to Celestia.
4946002 that seems a little tooooooooooo close to th truth.
4946025 Just say that it's all 100% Tirek then?
4946090 or lie about where the bag was. Say it moved around... Influenced ponies...
Hmmm. You make a good point though.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH
4945696 I concur. Also, the ending: DUN DUN DUUUUN!
Oooh cliffhanger.
Too bad I think I know what Lyra's talking about...
Anyone remember that mention of an expedition, lead by Lyra, to a (I believe it was sunken) ship, travelling from the dragon-glassed country where the Bag was supposedly lost? I'm betting that in Uptime Equestria, the expedition found the Bag, or some mention thereof, on the ship and from there it was taken to Celestia or otherwise introduced, and it all went to shit. In the alternate timeline, the expedition either never started, failed, or did not find anything of note. Alt!Lyra probably remembers the expedition, and having heard something more about what exactly happened to the place the ship came from, has put two and two together and is just about to unload this revelation on the rest of the cast.
I need to reread. Alas, I have no time at the moment to do so, but I think at least most of this is accurate. Take all of this with a grain of salt, and I'd like to be corrected if someone has clarifications at hand.
I'm ashamed in you writers for not including a single Mother 3 reference with New New York City.
Oh well, still a good chapter as always, it was.

Reference to Freddy Five Night? I wonder who is going to watch all those 'dolls'
4946597 yes.
Yes it is.
Humans use Freddy's pizza parlor as fortresses during the day because even newfoals are scared of them.
4946293 Read the chapter "War March and Past Sins". Explains everything with Lyra and the Bag.
4946612 ROFL that's awesome!
Kill them. Kill all the traitor ponies now. They're just going to fuck everything up. We know that!
OH MY GOD! The medic and heavy, Freddy Fazbear's, Futurama and even Serenity.
You just reference TF2, Five Nights at Freddy's, Futurama and by Whedon's glorious grace FIREFLY all in one chapter, AND MADE IT WORK! I'm gushing because I'm such a nerd that I recognize all of it! I've only seen this in one other fanfic and that was effectively cancelled a while back! Continue man! PLEASE!
4945984
Yep. It's a parody of the original version. Well done one too.
Why do I have a feeling Icewind, Catseye, and others might try defecting to the Solar Empire?
I could talk about how well you introduced all the new races, the deep mythology you've crafted, the hinting as to a possible parallel brewing between two realities in the form of a misanthropic "human anthropologist", the discovery that Lyra might unknowingly be to blame for everything, which is pure ironic heartbreak and would be a very nice twist. Or maybe I could speak of the deep intensity of the illusionary battle against the new foals in which they see the firsthand horrors of war, or talk about how refreshing it is to see Spike up and talking again, or how cute it is to see Stephan...well...GEEKING OUT. I could talk about all that, they're all great things and excellently written!
But I think the bit I like best is Discord creating an entire NYC for our friends to enjoy. He put so much effort into it all, it's just...it's a really, REALLY nice thing for him to do. It's a serious breath of fresh air, and really touching. Him doing that for the group when he could have just, I dunno, magicked up boxes and crates of supplies...nah. He went the extra mile. That says something.
Skipping that clop scene like it's the fucking plague, but other then that, it's great chapter

Don't know which Alistair you're talking about. But this guy popped into my mind when I read that name there. http://drwhopossiblethings.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/brigadier-courtney.jpg
You've already got a Doctor Whooves in there now.
How about a Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart youthened back to his prime leading UNIT against the Solar Tyrant and generally being a hero?
4946293 It was explained a few chapters back. The point of divergence was when the Lyra of this universe decided not to go on a vacation where the Lyra of their universe did and found the bag while scuba diving.
The clop did seem a bit unecessary, but it didnt detract from the main plotline or the story. I like the introduction of Icewind as a dissenting voice because up till now we havn't seen any Equestrians object to the Princesses actions, I suspect him and his fellow deserters, and possibly Catseye, are going to do something stupid later on, which will be interesting to see. I suspect the Tyrant has a hoof in this as well, but that may just be my conspiratorial mind.
Sooooo muuuuuuch terrifying, terrifying awesomeness! You guys always deliver in this story exactly what you promise.
I do hope Spike recovers soon!
(and while I do recognize a certain reference that has been seen throughout the story, and am gleeful for the jabs and "take that"'s that you put in, having a purely 1 dimensional reference is petty and childish. If you have the time, please do include some gray or white shades to that reference *CoughCateyeCough* Not saying that the views of the reference is good, as I hatehatehate the setting (this Story on the other hand is great at portraying the horrors and reality that would follow such an event) and what it means, I just wish for some more depth to those view IfyouknowhatImean)
4947541 we cut the chapter.
There was more but it got too big...
It begins.
eh, I don't mean to sound like a pretentious ass, and this may be a bit random, but personally, I've had New York Style Pizza before, and I wasn't too impressed. I dunno, I grew up in the New Haven area in Connecticut, and most people who grew up around there know that New York style pizza is in fact an imitation of New Haven style Pizza. It probably did more harm in the long run though, because now, I can't really go to most Pizza Places outside of CT, because I've been spoiled by it. It has nothing to do with your story, I just thought I'd share that.
I liked the interaction with Chrysalis in this chapter. I'd been waiting on her for A While, and she didn't disappoint... except to say that I want more. You've got a huge cast of characters, and I hope she doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

Erm. . . Everything you say about Discord here is true. And it's cool, I guess. And yet. . .
I never really was able to swallow the whole idea of Discord being "reformed" to begin with. It never made sense to me, and still doesn't. He's the primal embodiment of chaos and strife. He's Apep, the Serpent that Never Dies, foe to all and friend of none. That Discord, the one we saw in the beginning, would love the whole anti-TCB scenario, and surely wouldn't feel compelled to help sort it out. (Although, helping to bring yet another world into the fray might tickle his fancy.)
4948189 ot depends on where you go for the pizza I suppose. Plus it sounded natural to say such things.
4948211 Ha! Don't worry, all charcters have some spotlight
4948246
I don't think it's just a matter of self-preservation and the whole "if they succeed, everything is stagnant order". It's because he might be a literal personification of chaos...but he's also still a PERSON, and a person needs friends. Family. Love. Needs some stability. He's "chaotic neutral", the "asshole alignment", willing to do anything for his own goals, and they're lucky the fight, for him, is personal...and the fact that deep down, I think he wants to do what's right. As the saying goes, everyone is the hero of their own story.
>Getting rid of Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria
But now you won't be able to have a Freddy vs. Evil!Celestia fight scene
That'd be fucking sick
Well didn't see Spike coming.
On the plus side, we know that Discord can recreate cities. You just threw the dog a bone! We might get our cities back!
Great chapter!

That there was my doing (evil laughter) - I've only discovered Five Nights at Freddies two days ago, and don't even intend to play it, but I HAD to drop a reference...
4948477 yeeeahhhh, save for the "two days" thing, that's what I think about it too. As you may have guessed, I like having the option to shoot what terrifies me in a videogame. Barring that, running away works too.

4948480
Oh... you guys giving me ideas... stahp. We have enough as it is.
4947541
You can probably thank me for that. It's amazing how different the story was the first time I've seen it after I was bit passionate about NOT making Catseye some throw away strawman like the Jacqueline girl from Case Files. What's more, one of the major differences was that Icewind became an enemy now instead of being talked down. It feels radically different and it feels really better, I just really hope that the mane 6 and Spike get some more personal development... we've been focusing on everyone else but they have been getting less screen time as time went on and now it seems like they're slowly getting it back as everyone about to begin their training.
Ok, paint me impressed, this is becoming serious, and I'm expecting some rebellion from some equestrian.
Just show Catseye the newfoal experiments.
