sigh, I don't know how you managed it, I was just prepared to give up on this, but that last chapter reminded me why I found the first one so good, I shall see this through
2614917 Yaaaaay!
I hope the next book improves your opinion of the work. :3
switch to the other story up date it up date it! new next arc awesomeness.
2614943 We're still on track for a June 1st release. I have a lot of other little projects I'd like to polish off first. :3
Rally the troops. Arm them all. Prepare for the fight. Prepare to Win.
I think that about sums up this chapter. There was a lot more support than one might first think. So now all that can be done is for us to sit and wait on the next book. Awesome work man.
KK
What a marvelous ending for this part
"Leaders aren't born. They are made." -Vince Lombardi Jr.
Awesome overall.
Is the third story up next, or the Code's Apprentice Sequel?
2615113
Code of Harmony is next on the docket. I like to switch off because it means I don't burn out on one story idea.
And so ends one of the best works I have read on this site. This chapter it me hard and I freaking loved it. Looking forward to the Twilight War.
2615129
Looking forward to it, though I'm not exactly sure where that story was headed with a sequel.
2615136 Youuuuu'll seeeeeee

She does seem to enjoy it the most and she also seems to understand it the most outside of Twilight. I think she is the only one outside of Twilight that hears Umbras voice. It may be that part of why Pinkie has stayed loyal is how much she has enjoyed it and that she felt like she could spread joy to others using it. This event may be the proof that she may not be able to spread only joy with this power but also fear. Pinkie may not take that well and I have no idea if that leads to a schism (if that is even possible). Anyone else no way could it happen (it seems to me that Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity have little initiative anymore on their own. Rainbow Dash shows some but has not really shown thinking for herself yet) but Pinkie seems to be a wild card.
2615184 And I cant wait to see!
Love this story!
Wooo! Awesome story!
I like all your stuff Lapis and I look forward to the conclusion of this epic!
Simply outstanding!
I know I may have nick picked here and there, but this story has been one of my favorite reads for some time now. You simply are a writing beast! I haven't seen anyone else produce chapters at the speed and quality you do. Maybe you should go write a happy comedy to reel in more readers.
I've said it before, but I love Scootaloo in this. Normally, she is my least favorite CMC, but she is full of win here. I like how Scootaloo's speech inspired flames in each pony present that fueled each other as they spread out. It's sort of the opposite of the Shadow, classic light vs. dark.
I can't wait to see Discord in action. Discord is Equestria's wild card and they don't even know it.
It's funny, in Code's Apprentice I was rooting for Dissonance Twilight. Even though she had Dissonance, at her core she was still Twilight. For this story though, I can't really get behind Shadow Twilight. Mainly because she's more of a dark reflection of herself than Twilight anymore. Also, I want Umbra to die a harsh, painful death.
And now, a question:
Back in the last chapter Spitfire said:
From what we've seen any sexual contact with one of the Touched passes the Shadow on. So, is this agent now compromised and they don't know it? Or is the agent fine and there are more defenses against the Shadow than we know?
I eagerly await part 3!
2615554 Passing on the shadow power requires a purposeful exertion of will, and not all of the touched are capable of doing it.
Generally, sexual contact alone is not enough to provide corruption - The shadow-touched involved has to work at projecting some of their own shadow into the new subject. So far, we've mostly seen Twilight doing this - and those who she has empowered. Because she is so damn strong, it requires less effort for her - and by extension, the mane six - to do the dirty deed.
Hope that clears it up! I Hope to see you around for The Code of Harmony!
2615634
Ah, that clears things up nicely! Thanks for the explanation!
I will certainly tune in for The Code of Harmony!
OH FUCK IT LOOKS LIKE SHITS GOING DOWN!
FOR THE TWILIGHT!
GO SCOOTALOO!
After watching the painful Xbox reveal, to reading something so jizzingly awesome. All I must say is, FUCKING AWESOME!
AND NOW WE WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL. Oh you, you keep producing such awesome-quality chapters. I can't wait for the finale of the trilogy~ It certainly gives a very good vibe. I bet there's going a lot of heart-felt scenes on the next one. And possibly a heartbreaking finale too... Can't wait! But then, we are onto a new ride that will help with the wait... Code of Harmony!
And this chapter is good, I love how Scootaloo becomes one of the Main Character in her own right, it's going to be interesting to see her journey. Her part of the story ;3
And now comes the tragedy of War; no matter who wins, nobody is really going to win at all.
Not bad. The narrative had some rough spots, and the technical quality of the actual writing was only mediocre (you could benefit a lot from slowing down releases and getting someone to proofread), but I enjoyed it overall. If you want more than that, I could PM a more detailed review I suppose.
HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING!
That... was... truly inspiring. I felt ready to take up arms and fight along side them, which is truly saying something. Way to end it with one of those cliffhangers that says "nothing compares to what you're about to experience next". Excellent work all around. Can't wait for part 3.
PS. I get the same feeling from your story that I got from the Mass Effect trilogy. Its just been indescribably epic to read this, and I'm hoping the next one carries on with just as much, if not more, energy. I foresee plenty of high-octane action (sexual and otherwise), gripping dialogue, and a tad bit of emotional trauma, but that just me. However the next part goes, its bound to be awesome.
Scootaloo. So not a chicken. Remember the Fallen.
Burn the forest. No survivors.
Holy shit those last words were there was only one now there was many
Few stories bring me to hyperventilation in the end. This one isn't even over yet and i'm hyperventilating in anticipation.
Scootaloo is like a holy warrior.
I look forward to what Dischord will do to fate on his free day.
I eagerly await what plans starswirl has.
I am moved by the Cakes' plight.
This part of the trilogy has thrummed up my anticipation in a way few stories do;
unique in the fact that it is cleanly divided into the three pieces of the trilogy, anticipating the next with fervent thoughts to what may lay in wait.
With all this talk of flames building inside Scootaloo I was honestly expecting her to get her cutie mark. Still, "Mab" and someone who guessed this white doe was Titania smacks of Fae shenanigans all over this. DO NOT WANT! Nothing good ever comes of fae involvement. And if I've learned anything about immortal beings from Dresden Files, it's better to stay as many continent lengths away from their dealings as possible. Still, I must say that Scootaloo's speech was great. It really evoked the feeling of a hope inspiring speech. I was honestly expecting Clover the Clever to be stuck in that statue, not Starswirl, but he's still a certified badass, so I'm ok with this. Love blooming between Twilight and Umbra/Mab? Is this a redemption I see? Lazuli you so craaazeh.
That speech. Those feels.
The speech of Scootaloo was inspiring and wonderful. I canĀ“t wait to read the next story. This is so full of win here. Thank you for writing this.
Go Scoots!
o ya im ready for war now bring it bitches! (but really had to stop and wipe my eyes and stop giggling ever other line it was so moving dam you)
HAHAHAHA...
heartychortle.com/files/2012/11/never-ends.jpg
Call me stubborn, but i still want to root for the shadow, but what they have planned is a dictatorship, and even a kind ruler can be corrupted or replaced, so i really doing like their plan. Very excited to read the sequel!
Epic speech time from my favorite of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I love it.
One thing though, and I don't mean to nitpick, but if Carrot Cake jumped from a tall enough cliff to die on impact then the body is probably not going to be something children should see.
They may take our lives, but they will never take our morality!
Still rooting for Umbra and Twilight though.
Oh my god, how I HATE Twilight in this story. I hate the whole corrupt six.
But I love Scootaloo here.
I hope this alicorn twilight thing is only temporary. Twilight with wings make me cringe.
Wubs are bucking sexy! but good story!
5650438
Better get used to it. AliTwilight is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
Let's see... Supposed alicorn count total in the show: Tia, Lulu, Cadi, Twi, and Flurry
Five. We have five where there was once only one.
Get bucking used to them.
Hero? Nah. Fool? Oh yes.

Your comment makes me cringe.
