This story is a sequel to A Sheet in the Wind (Iota Force Issue #5)

There is an ancient Pegasopolitan saying. Literally translated, it reads, "Those who seek trouble often find it. Those who prepare for trouble are often found by it. Those who do both always meet it." However, this is somewhat longwinded in modern Equestrian, so a more concise version of the saying is used in the modern day:

"Where heroes go, trouble follows."

Thus, it is sadly unsurprising that, on a week-long field trip (AKA vacation) to the Crystal Empire, Iota Force, Ponyville's young super hero team, encounter a mystery that demands their attention... and that in doing so, some of them get dropped into the middle of danger.

Now, trapped and isolated, Icy Flight, Archer and Truffle Shuffle must escape from the depths of the Caves of Sombra, fight their way through a gauntlet of traps and illusions and, somehow, stop the young pony responsible from reaching her goal and escaping.

Cut off from their town, their friends and even the rest of the team, can they survive and get through when they're all alone?

Well, maybe not quite totally alone...

This is the sixth story in the Iota Force series. Reading the previous stories would be helpful and will help give some things context, but hopefully the story will stand on its own. However, just to be safe, a summary of the series' premise, characters and previous stories can be found here.

This story is a sequel to Iota Force Issue #3: The Treachery of Images

A strange wave of burglaries sweeps over the farmers of Ponyville and Iota Force comes to investigate. However, when they learn that the thieves are not, in fact, ponies, it sends them down into the deep, labyrinthine sewers beneath Ponyville on the hunt for one in command of them.

Of course, in those dark, winding tunnels, there could be anything or anyone waiting for them, with far more knowledge of the area and far, far more friends down there. The young heroes had best tread carefully, or else they might learn just how mean the below-the-streets can be.

This is the fourth story in the Iota Force series. Reading the previous stories would be helpful and will help give some things context, but hopefully the story will stand on its own. However, just to be safe, a summary of the series' premise, characters and previous stories can be found here.

This story is a sequel to Skitter, Scurry and Screech (Iota Force Issue #4)

In Equestria, there are more potential Special Talents a pony can have than there are stars in the sky, and each one can have as many uses as the bearer can imagine. Even the most innocuous mark can acheive wonders if the pony who wears it wishes to.

As such, when a pony comes onto the scene in Canterlot, performing daring robberies using powerful items and autnomous minions they've folded out of paper, it is... a little unusual, to say the least, but far from unbelievable.

The pony in question being a young colt, that's a bit more notable.

Still, such things are exactly what Iota Force, Ponyville's Colt and Filly crimefighters, were made for. So, the team is heading for Canterlot, ready to take on these origami opponents and, Icy Flight hopes, take in the sights.

Of course, both those things may prove difficult when facing the folded forces of the Paper Prince. When your enemy can literally make himself a small army, it may be near impossible to overcome such a multitude of minions.

Or, at least, that's how it seems on paper.

This is the fifth story in the Iota Force series. Reading the previous stories would be helpful and will help give some things context, but hopefully the story will stand on its own. However, just to be safe, a summary of the series' premise, characters and previous stories can be found here.

This story is a sequel to Iota Force Issue #2: A Hair Out of Place

When a massive line drawing is left painted in the middle of Ponyville, it's obviously meant to mean something to somepony, but what and to whom is not immediately apparent to most.

To Iota Force, however, it signals that an old foe is back, looking to make Ponyville the present playground for his plunderous pursuits. Their newest member, Icy Flight, is unaware of this history, but willing to do whatever it takes to thwart and capture this enemy.

So imagine her surprise when she discovers that the picture is not only a signal of this young mastermind's presence, but also a set of clues that, combined with a series of cryptic messages, explicitly hint as to his targets. Icy's never encountered that kind of threat before, but it seems simple enough.

Neither she nor the rest of the team should rest easy, though. Precocious and perfidious don't even begin to describe the colt known as Magic Eye, so they're going to have to put their all into solving his puzzles and pre-empting his heists.

They'll have to bring their best if they hope to riddle him this!

This is the third story in the Iota Force series. Reading the first two will help give some things context, but hopefully the story will stand on its own. However, just to be safe, a summary of the series' premise, characters and previous stories can be found here.

AKA: The Prodigiously Powered Progeny of Ponyville.

When Icy Flight moved to Ponyville, she expected a few things - a pleasant town, friendly locals and, barring the odd apocalypse she wouldn't be involved in, a very quiet life.

She did not expect to meet a group of pre-pubescent superheroes sworn to protect the town from all foal felons, miniature monsters and knee-high ne'er-do-wells.

She did not expect to become involved in their battle against an incursion of lava-ponies.

She certainly didn't expect to join the fight and learn things she'd never even imagined herself doing.

Yeah, this is Equestria. She really should have known better.

Set between Seasons 4 and 5

This story is a sequel to Iota Force Issue #1: Baptism by Fire

When Icy Flight met and joined Iota Force, Ponyville's resident child superhero team, found out her own abilities and helped fight off an invasion of Lava Ponies, she thought that was the weirdest thing she'd see that month.

She's still not used to Ponyvile yet, so we can forgive this very foolish assumption.

Now, Icy and Iota Force must draw on all the strength, wit and comic book knowledge they can summon as they face a foe who fades over the fringe between fact and fiction. Can they tangle with a true comic book villain without their careers being cut short?

This is the second story in the Iota Force series. Reading the first is recommended; however a summary of the series' premise, characters and previous stories can be found here.
