Starlight Glimmer's attempts to stop the Rainboom pulled Twilight Sparkle into many possible timestreams.

In one, Rarity and Rainbow Dash survived Nightmare Moon's victory over the forces of light, eventually attaining positions of prominence and comfort in the Nightmare's service. But when the unexpected visit of an Alicorn and Dragon sheds light on a growing conspiracy against the wicked mistress of the night, Rarity and Rainbow Dash may yet be inspired to risk what they have gained to join the fight for a better world.

Yet darkness lingers even in the hearts of some who would oppose the Nightmare, and not all agree on what a better world would look like...

—Squad has arrived in kirin village.

—Have confirmed the body mentioned in the communique to be the remains of Ranger Flintlock of the Royal Guard, though it's undergone rapid decomposition in the three days since its discovery and is nearly unrecognizable. May be impossible to have transported back to Canterlot intact in its current state.

—The earth pony male mentioned to have been found with the body, confirmed as being Professor Green, had disappeared the previous night when most of the locals had turned in. The remaining two members of the expedition—Trace Findings and Doctor Stratum—remain unaccounted for.

—A stack of freshly-written papers was found in the room where the professor was kept for recuperation. Frantically written and smeared in places, but legible enough for our scribe to have transcribed onto the document attached to this scroll.

—Be forewarned: some of its contents are disturbing.

Twilight leads a team to investigate a town going dark. They find they were not the first to arrive, and the one who was left a journal, what can they glean, and did the first defeat the monster, or . . .

Sunset Shimmer is forced to reconsider her future as a citizen of Earth rather than as a student of magic in Canterlot, and part of giving up her life in Equestria means giving up her original form forever, triggering a bout of intense homesickness in the ex-unicorn.
After an encounter with an unknown magical source, Sunset's greatest wish is granted. She is once again a unicorn, back in her original body.
Just one problem.
Actually, several.
She's lost, she can't be seen by anyone but her friends, and she stands at a solid three feet tall.
Oh yeah. And her magic isn't working.

After an "incident" at Twilight's School of Friendship, Scootaloo returns to Ponyville on sabbatical. Her past haunts her, however, as a darkness looms over Ponyville and its citizens.
