After an attempt at a triple sonic rainboom goes catastrophically wrong, Rainbow Dash wakes up on a beach with no idea as to how she got there, how she'll go home, or who the other pony towering over her is.
While Rainbow and her new companion attempt to answer the former's questions, Princess Luna goes on a mission to exact justice from the one who bestowed upon Rainbow the gift linked to the disastrous stunt.
Finally, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie use their connection to their friend in an attempt to find her, only for Fluttershy to find herself fighting to save Pinkie from sinking into a shattering abyss.

... the cover brought me here
This is definitely keeping me interested! Can't wait to read the rest
Whoa.... that was pretty awesome... NEED TO SEE MORE!
Dunno why, but that ending left me in goosebumps. Damn you and your cliffhangers.
Take these moustaches.
849666 Now imagine that image with the violet Etherium lights of The Citadel.
849884 I can't wait to write the rest! Thank you for your kind words!
849997 I even left it ambiguous as to who said that final line, too! Tirek? Aria? Both?
Thank you for the mustaches, and for your kind words! I look forward to finishing this arc; there's at least two more stories planned. Hopefully just two.
EDIT: Clarification; I have more than two arcs planned for the T-42 universe.
850473 I thought it was Aria for sure, but you mentioned Tirek... damn, now I'm even more confused.
EDIT: Fixed typo.
850768 Well, you might be on the right track, but I won't spoil it just yet.
This is as ambitious a tale as I've seen in many days, and few reach this level of sheer epicness (epicity?) in fewer than twenty thousand words.
Whatever else you care to write, I definitely wish to read.
879795 Thank you, Dusty! I'm currently working on the second story of the Terminus arc right now. May I continue in my sheer epicness and ambition as I tackle this next chapter.
Suddenly, Luna!

I hope you enjoyed this fic; I know it can't top what I (indirectly) did with in the Daria fandom, but I do hope it's a close second.
Greetings, I found this through that Alexandria's Genesis article you posted, coz I get around, and shall be reading this story. On a side note, with modern genetic engineering technology, you CAN in fact have violet coloured eyes, as long as you don't mind having a needle stuck into them first, but enhanced longevity can be found in species with Negligible Sconsecsnce. And yes, I know I totally spelt the last word atrociously wrong.
3184430 I think I'll keep my hazel eyes.
3264905 And I'd like to keep my blonde hair and blue eyes, just in case the Nazis return.
3184430 Same. :)
3350945 The hell is up with all the people replying to my weeks, sometimes months, old comments recently?
Got here via your Alexandria Genesis post, was not disappointed :)
3669784 I guess writing bizarre Mary Sue fan fiction adopted by Tumblr wholesale as a meme has its benefits after all. Thank you for reading, darling!
