This story is a sequel to My Little Mages: Enchanted Enigma Elixir
It has been a year since Twilight moved to Magiville, and a lot has happened, she and her friends stopped Discord and started him on a path of reformation, they have helped drive back an invasion, they helped save a lost city, among other things and to top the list, Twilight had recently ascended into a demigod and is Mystica's newest princess. As the Summer Sun Celebration and the first anniversary of her friendship with Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. However, a day before the Summer Sun Celebration, chaos starts to ensue yet again as Celestia and Luna have both vanished, the sky is both day and night, and black vines have started to infest Magiville. Can Twilight and company solve this? Or will Harmony fall apart?

New story! Let's see how Twilight will manage the princess' business, with a calamity on the way!
Yikes. Definitely a very exciting start to the story. I DID love the scenes with Twi and her friends as well as the exchange between Twi and Celestia concerning the Summer Sun Celebration. And, yeah, the end scene WAS quite appropriately nerve-wracking. This is, indeed, going to be rough for a while.
At any rate, I'll definitely be looking forward to more of this, but will also be quite willing to be patient.
Nice chapter. And you gave a Discord something more to do than just standing around.
Another dip into the past to save the future!

Sorry I took so long to get around to responding to these. Nothing to blame except self-admitted laziness. Anyway, you, again, have done an excellent job combining the source material with some added information AND your own touches. Well, on to the next chapter.
Again, superb job on the action (among other things) in the flashbacks. The added details and characterizations (both in the flashbacks AND in the present day) are, once more, quite well done. Again, I have no excuses for taking so long beyond self-admitted laziness.
Nice deconstruction of the first part, as enlightened by Pinkie.
And sure you will have a lot of work for the future!
8205962 Well I considered doing the scenes Pinkie tells about, but I thought... wait didn't I already establish that they could fly there and that they know where the Tree is, and the only reason they sent Twilight back was that they didn't know where the Tree was... so why make things harder than they need to be physically when what needed to be focus on was the actual sacrifice of the Elements back to the Tree and the emotional toll therein.
Noticed a few typos
Hey there. Thanks very much for getting this chapter up. Excellent job, of course, on the action, emotional content, characterizations, logical changes, main story wrap-up and future story set-up. Tirek's rap sheet was VERY appropriately unnerving (particularly because he is going to be the main villain in a near-future story). I also really liked the recap of so many of the heroes' past adventures during the journey. All in all, superb work.
You know that bait and switch flashback isn't as effective as it was in canon, mostly because you've already shown us this flashback. Also, those were some great nods to your continuity there. I'm talking about Sunset and you-know-who.
To quote abridged version Piccolo, "Why didn't you DODGE?!"

I know the cannon bait and switch for the end of part one was better executed, but my main goal was my own continuity for this part.

That part where Pinkie recaps what actually happened in canon was great. Also, I'm guessing the theme of the next few stories involve embracing change. Nice to see the two sisters get into the spirit of that theme.

next story to actually go up will be my take on the Season 4 finale, then the other Seasons openers and finale with this AU's answer to Rainbow Rocks and maybe more of EQG
Wait, hold on. Tirek is from Midnight Castle, as in the place Cinch currently rules. Is this connection going to be important later? It's got "Chekhov's Gun" written all over it.
