[ SPOILERS FOR SEASON 7, EPISODE 16: Campfire Tales ]

Twilight's day was going to start like every other day: Wake up, eat breakfast, read history books, wait for lunch.

Spike starts his day the same way, but with comic books instead of history books.

What they didn't expect was Flash Sentry and Dragon Lord Ember to show up in their doorstep.

Something about...a duel to regain someone's parents' lost honor or something?

"This is the time, this is the place,/So we look for the future,/But there's not much love to go round./Tell me why, this is a land of confusion." -Genesis, ‘Land Of Confusion’

A strange, supernatural phenomena encompasses Ponyville. It doesn't take long for this 'infection' to spread across the town. With quick thinking, five survivors seal themselves off from the hordes, but the events only take a turn for the worse. Will they be able to survive this nightmarish disaster?

Where did the Bloodstone come from? Dragons don't have true magic, and certainly not the ability to create a magical artifact such as this.

This is the question Twilight sent to Princess Ember to find out just how the Bloodstone was made. Unfortunately for Spike, he will be the one required to figure it out. With a trigger of runes, Spike will be sucked back into the vision and life of one of Equestria's most heinous villains and powerful sorcerers: King Sombra.

Twilight Sparkle is at her limit.

She has long since dismissed her original objective, forgetting exactly why she is stuck in this alternate timeline in the first place. Her only mission now is to stop the mare in her way— an adversary with uncanny magical strength and indefatigable purpose.

It’s time to finish this... once and for all.

The Narrator chucks his Bible at Twilight Sparkle's head, knocking her out cold.
When she recovers, she learns about a bipedal race called "Man" and how they fell from perfection, and how the deity known as "God" sent His only Son to die and rise from the dead in order to save them.
Eventually, Twilight reads all there is to read in it, and obsessively insists upon reading it more. The Narrator then adds to her Biblical studies by... What else? Chucking more books at her, of course!

It's not her fault her sister left the family. In this town, ponies have to be tough to survive. But seeing her like this, it was not the way Rarity thought they would meet again. And the pain in her heart while seeing her like this can't be ignored. And now, she does feel responsible for her sister leaving. If only there is a way to convince her of that.

Princess Luna falls from the sky to prevent a dragon from returning home. Before their impending battle, the two go for a walk, discovering more than one set path to their destination.

Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's The Black Arrow.

During the War of the Sun and Moon in medieval Equestria, young Spike, a knight in training, doesn't know who he can trust when a band of outlaws accuse his guardian, Lord Tirek, of being responsible for his father's death. His suspicions grow when he meets a young colt who claims to have been kidnapped by Tirek. Soon Spike will have to choose between his duty to his guardian and his duty to his heart.

An alternate take on the ending of Episode 24: Owl's Well that Ends Well

Driven away from home by jealousy and loneliness, Spike finds himself in the cave of a rather large dragon. However, instead of attacking, the great beast takes him under his wing, teaching him to become a proper, vicious dragon, filling the emptiness left by his friends with rage. But, when Spike's small size and immaturity take him to the brink of frustration, the magical alternative his new "friend" proposes could change the course of his life forever.

Starlight Glimmer has discovered a spell that could provide information about disasters affecting Ponyville in the future. The only problem: neither she nor Twilight Sparkle are entirely certain how the spell works.

Sometimes, forgetting is the hardest part of knowing.
