Somehow, I manage to write sad fluff. I'd be concerned about my mental health, but I'm too busy writing.

Source

After a meteor changes all of Equestria forever and releases something long considered destroyed, the new Mane Six will have to stop it.

Takes place in between 'Spike at Your Service' and 'Keep Calm and Flutter On'.

Dem elements.

Also... those characters seem to just be there for the hell of it. What logic is there that those PARTICULAR ponies became the elements?

I'm still refining it, but Lyra will make a cameo.
Also, no unicorns lose their magic in this series. It just gets transferred to another source. It may be a story about magic turning ponies into humans, but I have to keep some semblance of realism. The unicorns get a magic necklace, and pegasi get magic anklets.
Alicorns like Celestia, Luna, and Cadance have both, and can use them at any time.
Hope you enjoyed what's there. I have a lot of ideas, but writing them down takes some time. I'm just glad I could get chapter one out in one day.

Well, the six ponies that were nearest to the source of the magical disaster are more closely connected with it than anypony else, even Celestia and Luna. That's why they get the elements.

Um, if you read the second chapter, in Pinkie Pie's section, she makes a cameo. I'm also giving her a bigger role, so hold your horses - er, ponies.
:twilightsmile:

... Might want to check out how the characters look again. The last time I checked, Time Turner was an Earth Pony and Octavia was gray.

1838449
Actually, I'm going off of the version of Time Turner from Sonic Rainboom, who was a pegasus. Also, thanks, I'll be sure to change Octavia to grey.

vinyl vs vinyl how do they know who wins?

1883647
The one that won was the real Vinyl because only the real Vinyl can use shadow powers.

okay i have to ask about fluttershy's weapon? was that a reference to yoko kurama's rose whip? because if so that would be the second yuyu hakusho kurama reference i saw today

also i am guessing that pinkie pie may have taken ouyt the twilight wanna be

If it's a reference, it isn't intentional, and yes. Pinkie Pie is such a boss that she took out Twilight, and although I haven't written it yet - I'll go back and put it in, though - whenever I look at Pinkie Pie's last stand in my head, she wounds Rainbow Dash too, albeit not too badly.

okay saying it now I see what you did there Time Turner's hour glass having yellow sand and tinted blue glass can any one say T.A.R.D.I.S lol

2632739
Yeah. I totally planned that. That was completely intentional...

okay I got the Dragon ball reference but I am afraid I didn't catch the others

2719427
Once I finish the chapter I'll point them out, but until then, keep looking.
Hint: There's one in Vinyl's first dream, the one about the two people in the ruined town.
Also, this is probably the last time I put a bunch of references in one chapter, lest the story be weakened as a result. I just thought it'd be fun this one time.

2722858
As promised, the references.
However, it's up to you to find out what they're referencing. I'm too tired to tell you outright.
1.

It's... Bigger on the inside.

2.

Welcome to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber

3.

"You've ravaged this city, crushed our homes, and destroyed countless lives. The atrocities you've committed against humankind are abhorrent and unforgivable, and demand swift, sovereign justice. However, because I am honorbound by the laws of peace and amnesty, I am issuing one final warning to you. Leave this place or die."

4.

"Vinyl, your will is the will that will pierce the heavens, the earth, and through to tomorrow. "

5.

"Just who the heck do you think we are!?"

6.

...and what looks like orange training robes.

2810240
You are correct!
Johnny, tell 'em what they've won!

They win the prestigious "First to Get That Reference" award, as well as ALL THE INTERNETS!

All of them, Johnny?

Yes, all of them!

Holy crap. This is awesome.

I love how twilight makes them think that she is compliant even within her own mind

This is bad... sort of. Im certain someone of another disposition might like it but I cannot. So many things I love about mlp are desecrated by what you write. Do you want there to be darkness and battle in the kindhearted world of equestria? if so I suppose this is the story for you im stopping here. Taking my imagination and going elsewhere

I'm glad you derived at least a small amount of enjoyment from it, although if violence, dark themes, and battles are that horrible to you, then you should avoid a good third of the fics on this site.

You put a Doctor Who reference... you get all my awesome points,putting you at GOD-TIER:flutterrage:

Howdy, not sure if this will ever really be seen. But I wanted to let the author know that I've loved this story for many many years. Hell way back when, I created my account just to keep this story in the back of my head. Rereading it years later, I still love it. I like the pacing, sure there's a few errors here and there some grammatical and others consistency. But this is by far one of if not my favorite stories on the site and I don't think I've ever made it clear. One thing I do want to bring up is will there ever be anything remotely close to a sequel? I know it's been forever now but finishing the story once again, I realized that King Sombra was never really dealt with. And as much as I hope the prologue was eluding to a time right after the finale with Vinyl "dead", she was very much alive at the end. No complaints about that, too many fics go the route of killing Vinyl so it was a nice change of pace to see her survive.

Wall of text aside. You have no idea how much this story has inspired me to write. Although I keep it to a very close few, I love to write my own stories, or for D&D and whatnot. I hope to reread this story again in a year or so, although I will never be able to experience the first time again, it truly is a classic I will always come back to.
