For her battle against Princess Twilight has drawn forth ancient forces with eyes on the last bastion of magic: Canterlot City.

As darkness closes in, Sunset must find her light and guide her friends to defend their world against old rivals and legends best left forgotten, all while dealing with their ever-looming futures.

But when graduation comes, what will Sunset Shimmer do? For she is still a stranger in this world, with or without her friends, and the road before her guarantees nothing.

Of course, with the universe conspiring against her, it'll be a miracle if she even makes it that far...

Desert Mirage lives in a world full of guns, lasers, explosives and people competing to be the best of the best. There she excels at what she does: hunting. She started as a nobody, and yet became one of the most sought-after gunslingers.

Sunset Shimmer was practically born the best of the best. Selected by none other than Princess Celestia to be her prized student... until she ran away to another world in search of power. Through trials and suffering she was eventually taught humility and friendship.

At first blush, they don't have much in common. But their connection runs deep, and sooner or later it will change their worlds forever.

Three years following the events of Legend of Everfree, the magic that Gloriosa wielded has taken its toll on her. Paralyzed from the waist down, she and her brother, Timber Spruce had no other choice but to give up their beloved camp to Filthy Rich to pay the medical costs.

Struggling to come to terms with how much things have changed, Gloriosa still waits for the day that her brother can forgive her for the actions she commited, and the people that she hurt with her own selfishness.

This story is part of a trade with kul for some artwork.

Sunset Shimmer had an urge to see Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville again after so long with her friends in the other world. One day, she mustered up the courage to step through the portal and say hello.

Much to her surprise, however, Twilight Sparkle was far... smaller than she expected.

Battle scars are a constant reminder of what you survived. A scar simply means you were stronger than what tried to hurt you.
