A couple on the run, two pursuers with mysterious motives, a C-130 Hercules, an apple farmer, the Elements of Harmony, and a chilling storyline that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Sit down, because this might take a little while.

Note: Reading Detour (the first in the series) isn't 100% nessecary. The only thing that might seem confusing is why there's a C-130 and two automobiles. Other than that, you won't be left out of the loop when you read this story. Thanks!

"The Warehouse" holds many SCPs, including 173, and 682. The Class D personnel are to test the SCPs, lethal or not. They are allowed to keep audio logs, and some tell the tale of Rainbow Dash, the only Class D to survive a Containment Breach.

Though few know it, the Elements of Harmony have recently taken a bit of an extended leave of absence from protecting Equestria. Of course, those that do know this either are aiming to keep this a secret, or to exploit this would be weakness. Though the latter are in for a surprise when they find that Equestria's new "protectors" are all the bit capable as their six predecessors, and are far more discrete in their ventures as well. Of course, nopony would believe that a quaint little honor guard going by the name "The Night Watch" could find and root out villainy, but as Lieutenant Static Strike is soon to learn, things are not what they seem.

I love Rainbow Dash.

I've loved her for so long.

But now she's been around less and less.

At first I was okay, but things are getting worse.

Now I need to know the answer.

The answer to the question I'm hesitant to find an answer for.

Twilight Sparkle has been having to deal with an anonymous sentiment for quite sometime. She has done everything she can to find an answer to it, but it's been fruitless. Now, trapped within her place of residence, she awaits the conclusion of a terrible storm while at the same time, perplexed of what to do to find out what her heart has been telling her.

Luckily, the one thing she's needed for so long is about to knock on her front door.

Spike wants to prove just how much he loves Rarity.

What follows is a twelve night spiral into madness and Hearth's Warming joy!

To her everlasting shame, Twilight saw her friends knew, from her expression alone. She heard herself speak the words We have a decision to make but they barely registered. Some disassociated part of Twilight’s brain knew that she was going into shock, but didn’t know how to stop it, or even if she should.

Yet the Elements of Harmony were in agreement.

Twilight sparkle was at home one morning when she got the distress letter from princess Celestia explaining that she had been keeping something secret from everypony, especially Luna about a line from the well known story "The Mare In The Moon." The line was "The stars will aid in her escape." Just who were the stars, what significance could they possible have, and what was Celestia's secret? All of these questions can be answered through the pages of Luna's diary that has been hidden for 1000 years. Twilight gains possession of the diary and goes through a sci-fi adventure watching Luna's past, learning more about Luna's transition from princess to Nightmare Moon, and the problems that caused it to happen

After stumbling upon an ancient relic despised by the princesses themselves, Clean Sweep goes from a run-of-the-mill street cleaner to a new lifestyle entirely.

Whether this is for better or for worse, he has yet to determine.

Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie are severely injured. Rainbow is waiting in the hospital for any news about their health. When she doesn't agree with what the doctors are planning to do, she goes in search of a way to save them. But how far will she go to protect them? And how much pain is she willing to go through before she breaks?
