Warning: This story is pretty long, so if you want to read for like twenty minutes, or like half an hour, GO FOR IT!

What would life be like if all of Equestria's villans roamed free? If Nightmare Moon defeated Celestia, Sombra ruled the Crystal Empire, and changelings were a daily threat. Oh, and Discord wasn't a statue. When an unknown evil threatens the Princess and kidnaps the Queen, all of the Princess's friends must rise to help her save the kingdom.

Sex tag for some suggestive dialogue.

Other tag stands for: The rest of the Main 6, Celestia, , Cadence, Soarin, Chrysalis, Discord, Changelings, and maybe the CMC

If I copied some other story, I am very sorry. Please notify me.

How did King Sombra take over the Crystal Empire? What were his motivations? How did the princesses defeat him?

This story is a prequel to The Trouble With Unicorns, and is part of the Unicornverse.

Shining and Twilight have been connected since her birth. They could read each others' thoughts, see through the others' eyes, and even trade magical power.

Once Nightmare Moon returned, the Elements of Harmony severed the link between the siblings, leaving a near-dead Shining in the midst of a massive assault on Canterlot...

Now he needs to try to find a way to regain his power, while he faces one disaster after another.

Our tale will go through all 3 seasons (hopefully) and all there is in between. Some events will be changed, but the outcomes will remain the same.
