Over a thousand years ago, Discord killed Princess Celestia before he was finally defeated. Five hundred years ago, Queen Luna was overthrown and had to lead a brutal rebellion to reunite Equestria and give birth to the New Lunar Republic. Twenty years ago, an alien invasion was repulsed at the expense of all but one of the Elements of Harmony. A year ago, Queen Luna's oldest daughter disappeared without a trace, possibly never to return.

The world has recovered from all of the tragedies of the past and is more prosperous, more advanced, and more peaceful than ever. Ponies, Griffins, Zebras, Dragons, Donkeys, Buffalo, and all of the other sentient species of the world love and tolerate one another but under the surface, tensions between nations are brewing.

When the Elements of Harmony start finding a new masters, the other nations start fearing that Equestria is planning military strikes. With their mentors guidance, the new Elements of Harmony have to unite and avert the collapse of the New Lunar Republic before it is too late.

Author's note: This is a side story to the universe introduced in The Wandering Physicist Adventures's Crossroads, Origins, and Letters from Home. Knowledge of that other series is not required, but those stories provide a good basis for extra information about this series.

Eons ago, the Keyblade Knights held the darkness at bay, but they are no more. Without them there, the Heartless have been free to move as they please. Their movement may seem random; but, if you look closer, a sinister pattern becomes visible. Soon, the truth of this will be revealed by two friends from Earth Delta.

After discovering that Cadence is not who she appears to be, Twilight is sent to another world entirely by the disguised Changeling Queen to avoid her plan being disrupted.
When Twilight lands, she discovers that not only have Spike, Owlowiscious and Peewee followed her, but that they've arrived in a world where the main sentient species is human.
There's still a place where they teach magic, though.
Crossover with Harry Potter. Twilight will be effectively taking the role of Hermione.

I've marked this story as cancelled to reflect the unlikelihood of it continuing. If I do come back to it I'll revert that.

Featured on Equestria Daily.
Review by PaulAsaran

An Evil Lord learns of a forbidden spell that will destroy the world. Naturally, he intends to cast it.

No problem! Princesses Celestia and Luna will just send Twilight Sparkle to go stop him. That usually does the trick. There's only one catch:

There are only thirty seconds left to stop him before the spell is completed.
