Originally intended to be a chapter of What If... but things got VERY out of hand.

Tirek's returned. Twilight, of course, is the last pony standing against him. Or first, in this case, given that he just clawed his way out of Tartarus again.

This time, however, instead of the power of love and friendship and kindness and all that jazz, Twilight's got an orbital bombardment of anvil rain on her side.

Tirek thinks it'll be the end for the both of them. Twilight says otherwise.

This story is a sequel to Earth Pony At Magic School: Year One

Turnip Jones returns for his second year at the Canterlot School of Magic, but the school is under new management and facing dramatic changes. With Headmare Newman now in charge and the integration of Earth technology alongside traditional magic studies, nothing feels quite the same. The previous year's events still hang heavily over the school, and there are always new mysterious and new dangers.

Main character sections will be done in first person POV, while supporting characters will be done in third person.
