The Power Ponies are coming again.

Another escape from custody, another scheme to take over Maretropolis, and another chance for the Power Ponies to defeat her. Such is the cycle that Mane-iac has endured for as long as she can remember.

And she's sick of it. She's sick of all of it. Now on the cusp of one more battle with her nemeses, she can only think of how much she has sacrificed for the city in her battles against the Power Ponies, and how much more she can take.

The latest edition in the Power Ponies series is one that everypony's been waiting for. Crystalline Calamity.

The tale is focused around the Mane-iac attempting to seize a crystal with an otherworldly power tucked away inside. After grabbing the crystal from its' pedestal, she is confronted by the Power Ponies once more.

She tries activating the crystal to see what it does, seeing as there's nothing better for her to do in this situation, but the crystal has a very... intriguing power once it's used.

Now the 7 of them have wound up in Equestria, all of them youthened by the aftermath of the crystal's power. Yet for some reason, Mane-iac came out as a filly, whilst the other ponies came out as foals.

Lost, frightened, and with nowhere to go, Spike brings the 7 of them to Princess Twilight, who is more than happy to care for them in their time of need.

The picture comes from an artist called Beavernator. He's pretty famous for his foal pictures and foal comics. Check him out when you have the time, though you might just see him on Equestria Daily's comic panel if you're lucky.

Everyone has that one friend that they've known since childhood, that one friend that they'd do anything for, that one friend that means the world to them. For me, that friend was Luxurious Locks, the mare that runs the most prominent hair-care product company in Maretropolis. We were the best of friends since childhood, and whenever one of us was down, the other would be there to help out.

But I guess some things don't last forever.

Luxi has disappeared, and she's been missing for over a month. To make matters worse, a deranged mare named the Mane-iac has been attacking the city with no clear motive.

Little did I know that she was looking for someone, too...

This is an HiE Anthro one-shot taking place in the Power Ponies universe, so the Mane 6 are not the Power Ponies. It also goes without saying that this is not related to any of my previous stories.
