It's Been too Long · 4:20am Sep 28th, 2020
“It’s been too long,” Burgerbelle said.
Celia looked up from the captain’s chair with a raised brow. “Hmm?” Stars flew past them on Swip’s viewscreen.
“It wasn’t supposed to take this long. But…” Burgerbelle pulled out a time piece and started turning it over and over in her hands. “There was an impostor among us.”
Celia rolled her eyes. “Right… Swip, we still on course for the Sparkle Census?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“Good.”

“And she’s still not back,” Cryo told Isekai. Pausing, the filly downed the mug of root beer as though it were an actual alcoholic beverage.
“You still think about her?” Isekai asked, cleaning a plate.
“Yeah. Especially now that the team’s disbanded and I’ve got… nothing to do.”
“You helped a lot of ponies.”
“Then real life showed up.” Cryo created a pillar of ice under her hoof and crushed it. “The magic went away. I’m not the only one who felt like it was a little… empty.”

CP looked at a bunch of blue dots moving across a multiverse map display.
“Vedek Kira…” CP looked up at the woman, trying not to stare at her wrinkled nose. “How’d you come across this information.”
“The Prophets work in mysterious ways.”
“We’re going to need them…” CP turned to TwilAI. “Can you confirm?”
“Yes.” The artificial alicorn sighed. “The Beyonders are moving in on the Capra Coalition.”

Millions of Twilights scrambled around the Sparkle Census, most of them in more of a panic than usual.
“Beyonder movements confirmed!” A dragon-Twilight shouted, scrambling to the top of a meeting tower. “Their fleet is coming this way.”
“Do we have any idea why?”
“No! None at all!”
“Call Nanoha.” The alicorn twilight folded her wings in front of her face. “…We’re going to need more than just her.”

The windmill turned slowly, casting a shadow on the blocky structure it was affixed to. Tremendous cobblestone towers, built out of cubes, scraped the sky behind the windmill. Somehow, they didn’t outclass the windmill, but somehow framed it to stand out more.
A pig made of cubes slept in a field of poppies planted outside the windmill. To the side of the pig, a yellow earth pony was tinkering with a potion, holding it up to the sunlight to make sure the refraction was just right.
Odd… That’s a little too purple…
“Hey, Cinder!” Adder called at the Windmill. “You better get out here, somethin’s going on!”
“…Finally,” a voice came from inside the house. Confidently, a white unicorn with intense eyes strutted out with a coy smirk. “It’s been too long…”

Hype most emphatically gotten. Looking forward to the triumphant return.
Well, "triumphant" may be a bit strong, but still, this should be one to remember.

I saw Squiddy vent in engines.
"I was yelling!"
You still vented.
