Sequel to the story 'In The Dark'

In the prison of Kuteseke, an evil, dangerous leader created and led the cause of unicorns being dangerous to Equestria, and that they must be eradicated. He has secretly raided every part of Equestria except for one important landmark: Ponyville.

In the raid, Twilight, Spike, Rarity, and Starlight were captured along with the many unicorns in the dead of night. As they are transported to Kuteseke, they truly realize how evil and deranged the prison is. Despite that, there is still hope on the horizon.

However, the longer they stayed, the more they discover the horrors that are inflicted on the victims. They soon realize that they are more than just tortured prisoners. This is an evil not like anything they have seen before. Will they be able to overcome all the odds and defeat the leader and his followers? Could they save Equestria from this darkness? In a time of grief and hopelessness, faith and their sheer willpower may be the only things they will have… but will that even be enough?

Pipp decides to host a livestream of her and Sunny spending a day on the beach, and the stream watchers will get to decide what activities the two mares will partake in. For Pipp, it's the perfect plan, but for Sunny she has no idea what to expect.

As the day goes on, the two mares may end up coming to learn more about each other than they ever expected. And by the end, their bond of friendship may be strengthened more than they could've anticipated.

Aergia the Lazy, is, shockingly, very lazy. Absurdly so. It was only by a twist of fate that she claimed her seat upon the golden throne of Equestria and her place in the history books as a successful usurper of Celestia's rule. For four days. Still totally counts.

In this recounting of old Equestrian history, we will explore the events surrounding her very unlikely rise to power in 345 CE (Celestian Era) and her swift fall from grace.

A lone government operative devises a plan to distract Celestia long enough to install the double.

Well, now that he's here, maybe he can convince her to willingly surrender, and the witness can help too! Hopefully...

Born not of flesh, but of magic and longing, Nova Star was created by Princess Luna; crafted from dreams, shadows, and starlight. Meant to be a companion, a confidant, and a reflection of Luna’s night-bound soul.

But when Luna fell to darkness and became Nightmare Moon, Nova became lost to time, and hidden deep beneath the Castle of The Two Sisters, trapped in a deep sleep, and forgotten by a world that never knew she existed.

Over a thousand years later, with Luna’s return and redemption, Nova awakens into a world that has moved on without her, haunted by questions of who, and what, she truly is. Nova must now forge her own path under the guidance of both old and new faces. Is she merely a remnant of Luna’s sorrow? A failed creation born of loneliness? Or can she become something more?

On Earth, there was a city located in Ohio named Starbound Valley, and it was one of the most dangerous cities in America, but that was until Jang Si-Hwan--the silver-eyed Half-American, Half-Korean with pink hair and a red halo--floated down from the skies and sliced crime into pieces with his 75-inch Odachi, Impeachment.

Two years later, after making the city crime-free, he got... bored. After his retirement, he wanted to get his blood pumping again, and not by playing golf. He wanted to see and experience SOMETHING NEW.

And since the Angel of Staround landed in the land of ponies and other creatures, he has to adapt to this new world. Si-Hwan has to blend in, but all he could think about is that this could be the start of something great.

(This story takes place just three days after King Sombra's first defeat in the Crystal Empire)

A thousand years ago, Luna transformed into the darkness known as Nightmare Moon, and attacked her sister in rage. She declared that the night shall last forever, and despite her best efforts, Celestia couldn't stop her. The solar princess was banished to the moon, leaving Nightmare Moon the sole ruler of Equestria.

In the present, Shining Armor and his team led a revolt against her, attacking Canterlot. The plot failed, partly due to Nightmare Moon being elsewhere, and everypony but Shining Armor was apprehended.

Now Shining Armor is on the run, having failed against Nightmare Moon, lost his allies, and any potential way to finish his goal.

The summer solstice shall lead to an event that'll change everything...
