Takes place at the end of Season 3
Twilight had one remaining film to complete her collection. The problem. A single copy hasn't been made in twenty years and an unopened copy costs thousands of bits. How does she solve it? With the advice of a certain Rainbow-maned mare she decides to download it! Nothing can go wrong right?

Note: I do not encourage piracy this story is just for fun and will warn you of the dangers of the internet. Every-time you illegally download something you make companies waste money.
Seriously, Piracy is stealing.
Note: Translate SOPA into Spanish and it turns into SOUP. Coincidence? I think not.

The Astral Plane is a place of cosmic peace and serenity, a realm of gentle mists and alien but not unfriendly stars. Mortals who access it do so only after reaching a pinnacle of spiritual development and enlightenment, where those who have reached the peak before them may ease their transition to a higher state of existence.

However, immortals have an easier time of things, which can lead to rather less enlightened conversations.

A forgotten manuscript reveals an odd journey purportedly undertaken by Lord Dunsany, a Promethean explorer of the Lands of Dream. While the manuscript has yet to be authenticated, its contents are interesting enough to merit my posting them here.

Thanks to Estee and Humanoid for their assistance in preparing this transcription, and their invaluable advice.

The purple alicorn had a question, though she already knew the answer.

The white alicorn had an answer, but it wasn't enough.

Starlight spends a lonely night in her office, thinking about her life and its purpose.

The results aren't pretty.

Inspired by all those bottles in Starlight's office.

From father to son to grandson to great-grandson, on and on down through the centuries, Celestia has continually found love and comfort from a singular line of remarkable stallions. For a thousand years, she has been romanced and bedded by a succession of lovers from what may very well be the most charming, suave bloodline to ever exist.

Then Luna returned from the moon...

A teenage Twilight Sparkle asks Princess Celestia a complicated question with a simple answer.

“All unicorns build doomsday devices!” Those five words were words that Twilight Sparkle never expected to hear next to each other and in that specific order in a sentence.

King Sombra has returned, and upon discovering that Twilight Sparkle has not even considered building a doomsday device, has given her an ultimatum: Either she builds a device that has the sole purpose of destroying the world, or he starts defacing her books.

The clock is ticking: Will Twilight be able to get in touch with her inner mad science and save her imperiled reading material? More importantly, is she really destined to bring about the end of the world? Are unicorns really nothing more than a cosmic reset button, poised to bring a halt to all existence at a moment's notice even in the face of past evidence suggesting that they're not very good at it? Will Twilight succeed where all others have presumably failed? Does she even want to?

Join in as we follow the journey to answer the question on minds the world over: “Anypony for Doomsday?”

Her brilliant plan was ready to put into motion. All she had to do was get to the right place, then wait. How hard could that be? It wasn't like Twilight had any security measures of any kind.

Changelings attack Canterlot! Ponies run in fear! Good wine is spilled!

Who will serve justice in these times of peril?!

It can only be... The Mop Ninja!!
