Twilight Sparkle was banished from Equestria a long time ago for a crime she didn't commit. The rest of the Mane 6 have been searching for her to tell her that she can return. When they do find Twilight, they realize that the trials of surviving outside Equestria have changed their old friend. Not all the changes are necessarily good.

As they return to Equestria, they must figure out who is opposing them. Shadows lurk in every corner, enemies watching for a single misstep. Not to mention, Twilight's shadows are creeping up on her. But even if they do manage to face the trials and troubles, do they have what it takes to face what awaits them back home?

Sunset Shimmer is a regular pony-human. She has her friends, her school, and everything she could have wanted.
See that description up there? Yeah that was before the Manhattan field trip. She is no longer regular, she doesn't have her school, and she doesn't have everything she could want. The good news it that she still has her friends, along with some new faces.
Even better, she has a brand new Dad and family to join. Come see what life is like for her after she joins Camp Half-Blood.

This Story is a continuation of a story that already exists and was made by ThePoneDrome all credit goes to him/her!

This story is now an outdated version. An updated version will be linked here when it is available. This version is being left up for now, but will not receive any updates and is cancelled.

Midnight Shadow, an earth pony living in Ponyville, discovers that he has a special talent for mechanical engineering. However, his inventions end up dragging him into a conflict between forces of light and darkness, with consequences far beyond what he had hoped for. With the fate of Equestria in the balance, and no way to return to his quiet life from before, he has only one option: keep going, and hope that a solution presents itself.

This story is a sequel to The Witch of the Everfree

More importantly, can she avoid starting a war?

I'd like to thank all my followers, fans, and patreon subscribers. Without all of you, I'd be worse off in every way.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

Sunset Shimmer, the former pupil of Princess Celestia, entered the mirror hoping to find a place where she could plot her revenge and prepare to enact it.
Instead she finds herself face down in a swamp, cold and alone, lost to the machinations of the dark, that is until she comes face to face with a being almost as ancient as her old mentor, and maybe just as wise.

When Nightmare Moon’s rebellion tore across Equestria, leaving a trail of blood and horror in its wake, Princess Celestia knew that merely banishing her sister wouldn’t be enough. Her army was too powerful, and too bloodthirsty, to be left behind without a leader. When she finally turned the Elements of Harmony against her, she didn’t just banish Nightmare Moon. She banished thousands.

Now they’re in a race against time, to find a way to survive in an environment so alien that every aspect of it is trying to kill them. They face suffocation, freezing, boiling, starvation, radiation, meteorite impacts, low gravity… the list goes on.

Nightmare Moon thought she should be the ruler of all Equestria. Now, in a world nopony was ever meant to survive, her abilities will be put to the ultimate test.

Note: I intend this story to be as faithful to our current scientific understanding of the moon, and I’ve consulted for help with the aspects outside my technical purview. That said, I fully expect to make decisions that some may see as mistakes, based on their own independent interpretations.

I am a storyteller first, and I realize it’s likely I’ll eventually make a mistake, or an arbitrary decision to simplify the storytelling over accuracy. I’m doing my best here, but this isn’t a NASA white paper. Set your expectations accordingly.
