The royal wedding is over. Fate has spiraled off in a completely new direction. But the ponies have proven strong enough to overcome it and are closer friends than ever for it. The journey of the Cutie Mark Crusaders is reaching its conclusion. Discord and the Nightmare of Diamond Tiara are done preparing however, and are ready to bring the world to its knees in one swoop. And one last climbing out of the dark is needed. Years in the making. Now is the time to end this.
Shining Armor, "What is there really left to say?"
Pinkie Pie, "Except that we hope you enjoy the show."
This is it. Let's set the stage and assemble the actors.
It is time for things to come full circle!
PLEASE check out the ton of recursive fanfics of this fanfiction series. A lot of heart went into them! They also answer a lot of unaswered questions. http://mlp-pony-pov-series.deviantart.com/ For heaven sake they rock! Kendell2 and Oracle Mask and Richforce and Ardashir and Jawmax and Persona22 and Dragon of Twilight and ItsFromPeople and all the rest!!! http://alexwarlorn.deviantart.com/journal/Pony-POV-Series-Fanworks-fanmedia-By-Category-332817406
Cover art by Atomic Chincilla, the same guy who did the art for the original Discorded Ponies Epilogue and Trixie's Discording and Rainbow Dash's Reharmoization episode. http://atomic-chinchilla.deviantart.com/ I really wish I had the brains to ask him to include Scootaloo's new braid. But I had already asked him for several changes already.
Here we go. Final chapter, sadly...
An appropriate soundtrack to the coming battle:
...wow, so this is it huh? Last story in the Pov-verse? This is where everything ends. I just...
Two years, I was there when it all started and now...I am here at the end. I can't believe that this is it. All of it, all of the adventures and fun and heroism boils down to this. I don't care if you retire after this, if ou ever write again. Some of us hope to only have one good story, you sir...created a master piece. Nothing more to say then,
I know I already said this over on DA, but I can't stop myself from posting this part of my comment again:
Since this looks like it's shaping up to be quite interesting to read, my thoughts can overall be summed up as:
Here We Go!
Let's begin...
Or not, since I still need to work though Season 7 after a full re-read of everything else.
: Let's show that nasty Discord the REAL superpower of teamwork! We WON'T just fade away like the old Ponyville! For Wind Whistler! For Galaxy! For all of the Paradise Ponies! WE WILL NOT FALL! WHO'S WITH ME?

5145070
"YAY!!!!"
5146114
What can I say, the song is one of my favorites of all time. ITs been kind of inspiring in its own way and sums up the fic/the girls/ and the series in general. Its a great way to start it and a great way to end it.
*hugs back* hey, its been a great ride
So the epic Finale of this Story is finally on Fimfiction
Let's hope they defeat Discord and give Diamond Tiara the happy End she deserves
5146258
Words I doubt many bronies would believe they'd hear themselves type. :-)
5146307
Before your POV-Series I would have never guessed to write something like this
5146324
Just be ready. This is being a season of Pony POV Series, get ready for a long haul.
5146183
It's far from over. Now i only I could get over this awful writer's block.
This is going to get me kicked in the nuts... and I'm ok with that. I bought a cup.
Everything that has a beginning...
5146427
Believe me, this may be the final season, but is far far FAR from over.
5146330
My Body is ready and I'm really looking forward to see Maud in Action (won't write about her further, cause I don't know how to hide Spoilers )

How it all started.
SO MUCH YES!
It makes sense, I mean, Trixie is a nice pony, and an awesome pony (and best showmare) but she's nowhere near as nice as the Mane 6, she is sneakier, trickier and more willing to play dirty if need be, she's a bit more, chaotic, no wonder Discord broke her as a warm up for Twilight. On that subject, I've noticed something, they're quite similar, both blue unicorns with a loving family, both have a talent for magic, (Though Trixie's is more stage magic and illusions, I digress) and they were both broken by Discord, and their Discorded personalities were very similar, both depressed and not really caring about each other, only Trixie had it even worse than Twilight did, and they're both the Element of Magic.
Cherilee's a nice pony, I'm sure in some alternate universe she's the Element of Kindness.
Maybe when she grows up she will found the Crystal Empire branch of the CMC like Babs did for Manehattan, or will, timey wimey stuff.
The irony, with her Dark World self having helped them all break the curse.
A nod to the popular (I think) pairing ButtonBelle.
That line just makes me smile.
I get the feeling Sweetie Belle is going to be quoting that later and it will be awesome, maybe someone is trying to make her fall into depression or something and now that she's got her cutie mark she can't be a Crusader, she'd retort that she may not be able to go looking for her cutie mark, but Apple Bloom and Scootaloo are still her friends, and they're proud of her and she's proud of herself and that finding your talent isn't the end, it's the beginning. It seems like something that would happen here, or they'll be arc words, maybe, I dunno.
Blank Wolf Pup?
Blank Wolf Pup.
Knew it.
Wait, what?
Fair enough, it's the magic of character development, Scoots, besides, Rainbow has a lot more experience compared to you, I'm sure she's done the same thing a few times in her youth, you'll have to be better than that to get past everyone's favorite poly-chromatic Pegasus.
5146841
Laughter, actually.
5146948
In Lunaverse yes, but I mean is some other hypothetical universe.
5146537
Thanks now for my Spoiler:
Since Maud is Entropy
5146841
Thanks for the comment!
And Scootaloo had to forge a letter by her parents to begin attending Cheerilee's school.
5147332
Ah. Well, at least she's honest enough not to try and do anything stupid with her forgery skills, there seem to be a couple who know Digger Wasp a changeling personally looking for Scootaloo, since nopony is a background pony, there must be some importance to them, Scootaloo's parents perhaps? I doubt you'll tell me, but I can dream.
5148508
I hope I REACH the end.
5146471
...
No shit Sherlock.
...
Relax, you are going to be alright.
Dat cover.
I can't tell if that's Nightmare Tiara or Nightmare Sweetie.
Nightmare Avarice or Nightmare Crescendo?
So....the wolf got reborn huh? And now he's protecting Sweetie from the shadow's that corrupt/possess. Neat.
And so, the final disc was placed in the console, which was started up as Pinkie and her foals all crowded around to watch the opening movie, catching glimpses of various points in the game as the theme song played. Before too long the opening narration had begun.
Pinkie watched with a smile as the practice battle came and went before stepping out to check on the treats she was baking, returning just after Sweetie's brush with the shadow's...
5150471
Having the wolf attacking the corruptions be a tutorial battle? THAT IS GREAT! :-D
I love this little narrative you wrote! Thank you!
Nice to see Pinkie Pie having her foals playing an RPG enriched your enjoyed of this story si much! Thank you! :-D
5153325 No good sir,thank you for writing one of the best series of ponyfics to have ever graced the internet.
I look forward to seeing how the swan song unfolds.

An abnormal fog hangs over Ponyville.
Twilight had a discussion with Trixie about how they have a Story-Breaker Power by being Elements of Magic.
Scootaloo has caught the Daring Do bug.
Rainbow Dash is afraid to find Scootaloo's parent's, because doing that might separate her from Scootaloo. And Scootaloo-s parents, who appear to have been secret agents working against the Changelings, are now looking for their daughter.
*sees what happens with Tootsie Flute and Alula*
*thinks back to Silver Spoon's Last Temptation*
Oh dear. Those two are going to make things spiral out of control in a dreadful hurry.
*sees how Twilight, with her Story-Breaker Power, can't copy the spell that Umbra Breeze uses for the Foal Free Press*
Batten down the hatches! This is sure to be a massive shitstorm!
Over with Sweetie Belle, a wild Blank Wolf appeared!...as a puppy who seems to be loyal to her.
Sweetie Belle had a close brush with getting turned into the infamous "Sweetie-Bot", but the Blank Wolf Pup took care of that no-thing before it could get her. Nice work, Blanky!
Scootaloo is seeing the memories her G3 incarnation had in her dreams. Something tells me this might become a plot point.
So, nothing left to do now but prepare for the shit to start hitting the fan!
5160414
Nice brief set of comments on some of the happenings in this part.
I think I'll upload these chapter once a week here.
The way i see it the end is never the end. It is merely a new beginning. I smell spin off. If i'm wrong everyone and the author can chew me out unmercifully. Have a nice day
5169140
Do you enjoy the story so far?
5169436 yes and I want to read more. I'm actually only on season 2 but I like what I'm reading
Here it is! The final season I will follow it till the end!!!!
5181085
Welcome to the show.
5181120
/) Yeah!
Surprisingly, this characterization is accurate in my fanon as well of those Cloud Kickers who neither summoned Winning-Through-Degradation nor were touched by cross-time synchronous effects from Winning. Young-filly Cloud Kicker was an awkward, intellectually-precocious girl who tended to creep out most other Ponies when she tried to make friends with them. Her main interests were history and sports: the former because she could lose herself in the romance of past ages; the latter because it let her interact with other Ponies in ritual ways that didn't depend much on her (almost nonexistent) social skills.
In other words, she was in many ways similar to the young Twilight Sparkle, and in very few worldlines does Twilight turn out promiscuous. That's why even the tainted Cloud Kickers tend to like (rather than merely lust after) Twilight Sparkle -- they sense not only a kindred spirit, but a kindred spirit to their younger and more innocent selves. That's also why the evilest Cloud Kicker -- the one from the Degradingverse worldline -- controls but does not destroy Twilight Sparkle. The last remnants of goodness within her resist harming Twilight, just as they resist harming Alula or Dinky.
My mainline Humanoidverse Cloud Kicker is somewhere in between the Degradingverse Cloud Kicker and yours. She has been tainted by synchronicity with my mainline Ponyverse Cloud Kicker, but has never had direct contact with Winning-Through-Degradation and hence is cheerfully rather than sadistically promiscuous. She's quite loyal to her friends and family, including Lavender Lace, toward whom she feels protective. She liked Pony-in-Humanoid-Form Twilight Sparkle almost from the first time she saw her, and would be her friend if Twilight was around more.
She and Humanoid Trixie don't get along well, though they don't actually quarrel, they just mostly avoid one another. When she meets Piercing Gaze, she finds him attractive and flirts with him. If Trixie knew about this, she'd really hate Cloud Kicker. Thankfully, Trixie doesn't know.
5185809
Let me spell this out.
This Cloudkicker is CHASTE. She is not bisexual.
She's doesn't mind not standing out. She doesn't think herself superior to others at all.
She's HAPPY to be a background pony.
5185809
The kind of 'loosening up' Alula meant is NOT the kind you'd wish on anyone! But Alula is too young and naive to realize this!
5186374
(*nods*) Yes, I assumed that. She's neither been possessed nor tainted, so if she shared any personality traits with the Winningverse or Degradingverse Cloud Kickers, these would be friendliness, intelligence, loyalty to family and friends, and interests in history, sports and weapons training.
In other words, she'd be a pretty admirable and likeable Pony. Which is what you showed.
And yes, I thought that Alula just meant that Cloud Kicker needed to be willing to consider falling in love, not that she meant that Cloudy should become promiscuous!
They are, aren't they?
Ominous.
6 words for ya Mirror. "The Many Secret Origins of Scootaloo." if that's a reference to that, then you are awesome.
Yep. It's worse than you think.
Whu?
I feel a disturbance in the Force, for some reason, I don't trust this colt, probably due to reading Chaosverse with Nightmare Phobia.
An Avatar of Entropy perhaps?
OK, something is off here...
Because they aren't normally Changelings, and something very strange is going on.
I'm, not sure, I'm just as confused as you are.
*tilts head to the side* The buck?
That's, a good question.
I have no idea.
... I'd make a joke here, but I'm above that.
Pandora...
Jedi Mind Trick.
Well sht.
OBJECTION! No, no you're not.
Animating errors, making things that shouldn't be, be. I'm not entirely familiar with the more cosmic "reality itself" stuff here, but, I'm pretty sure that's pretty bad.
Nightmare Diamond Tiara...
Considering this is probably an Avatar of Entropy, Phobia must be Discord... Nuts.
Applebloom still being a blank flank, this must mean her. You Magnificent Bastard.
That last part made me laugh far more than it ever should have.
I'm honestly on the edge of my seat right now, because, while I don't get scared easily, since I like knowing things, things I don't know, unnerve me, and here, we only know the symptoms, not the infection, I have no idea what Discord and Nightmare DT are doing and it honestly creeps me out, we all know they're absurdly powerful, Discord is practically omnipotent, a Magnificent Manipulative Bastard, a master of Xanatos Speed Chess and the Indy Ploy, and dangerous as hell. If not for the whole point of Pony POV being no matter how dark things get, there will be a happy ending, and the characters will earn it, fighting for their happy ending. I patiently await your next chapter.
5210056
Thanks for the play by play! I'd respond, but it would be all spoilers!
5210081
It's OK. I'll just wait until chapter three. I gotta say, when do something, you sure don't half do things. Pony POV could probably be it's own novel or something, heck, if you changed some character names and made them human or something, you could probably make this a real book. Well, 7 books and one in progress.

Sounds to me like someone -- maybe Discord, maybe someone worse -- is trying to jam the worst fanon possibilities all together and make them part of your main Pony POVerse continuity. Probably crashing the continuum ultimately through accumulated Paradox, as happened to the G3 world.
5216562
That will likely be the end result. And it is someone we've met before.
