The Unity Crystals had been acting oddly for a few days, piquing Sunny and her group’s interest. The artifacts' power was unknown, holding untold secrets of the ancient world within them, but what it bestows upon them is beyond any of their wildest imagination. With endless questions, and an absolute need for more information, the ponies begin a journey to find some kind of an answer.

Leading them to the forgotten ends of Equestria, the path to their goal sends them through the ancient world where the foundations of friendship itself were laid. Though the answers they search for may be better off unanswered.

Sunny knew of the ancient world, the Elements of Harmony, and the six ponies that saved Equestria time and time again. She'd learned how the Element bearers' stories started, and how they ended, all except one - Twilight Sparkle. She always dreamed about learning more of her hero, but never would have imagined how she and her friends would soon become entwined in her tale.

Time can do many things, and for the idol of friendship, it can be her undoing.

This story was started and heavily planned when only Chapter 2 of Make Your Mark was available.

It's just not fair. He was the only one who truly understood the threat of the other species, the stallion who mobilized Maretime Bay in the battle for ultimate victory, and what did it get him? A criminal record and community service. And now the unicorns and pegasi are just moving around HIS city like they own the place and that's totally unfair. His mother should own the place (through having sold more anti-them stuff) and once she'd stepped aside? It would be Sprout time!

But nopony recognizes how vital he is. They expect him to pick up litter and worse, to do it before Hitch. They don't understand that ponies are meant to be afraid. All the time. Then somepony can be in charge. Like him. (Again.) And if they're not going to be terrified of wings and horns...

...what's an 'Ursa'?

Doesn't matter. He'll just go find out the Sprout way. By WINNING.

You and Pipp have something special. She just gets you in a way nopony else does, and vice versa.

Bad days are nothing new for the two of you. You've seen worse, and heck, you've braved every storm that came your way together, just as you've always done in the past. Side-by-side.

One glum afternoon at your place, you begin to wonder why. But little did you know that one harmless interaction could lead to more than you would have ever bargained for...

Peace has been restored and all is well in Maretime Bay once again. But that doesn't mean things have gone completely back to how they were, some things still need to be addressed.

Among them is Sprout's actions as emperor, and Hitch wants to make sure Sprout learns his lesson. To that end, he has his former deputy arrested and put in jail, much to Sprout's shock.

But Sprout will be even more surprised when Sunny of all ponies comes to visit him. Yet Sunny's reason for the visit is not what Sprout will be expecting. There's something very important Sunny wants to teach the stallion who used to be a childhood friend of hers.

Pipp decides to enlist the help of her friends and sister for a live stream displaying the many ways of taking pictures on a phone. The rest of them seem happy to help, but Zipp would rather not help at all.

Shortly after her transformation, Sunny Starscout is keen to know more about the magic that led up to it. After going through her father's old research, she stumbles upon the legend of an ancient amulet and the alicorn who wielded it.

It is now up to Izzy Moonbow and Alphabittle to voyage across the sea, to the Griffish Isles where the amulet is said to be located. Its discovery could be the key to finding out more about the powerful magic behind Sunny's transformation.

Carrot or Stick either way, Hitch is in for a hare rising experience.

Hitch gets napped by a bundle of bunnies that think he is some kind of God/Deity, and he has no idea how he is gonna to convince them otherwise.

Magic has returned to Equestria and all is well. As the royal sisters were about to return to Zephyr Heights, they suddenly remember that they are "phony ponies full of baloney".

At least the prison is nice.

My take on a certain overlooked plot point thanks to Sprout. Feedback and comments are welcome!
