Life had just settled down for Sunset and Twilight Shimmer. A child on the way, major choices to make, classes to choose for spring.

And then Celestia appoints her as her temporary replacement while she and Luna step down for a time. In the wake of this are whispers, riots, and mysterious slogans bearing a single word:

Entropy.

Continuity: Homecoming

The idea of Sunset and Twilight taking Celestia and Luna's roles has popped into my head once or twice interested to see how you handle it

:derpyderp1: Well ... this is an interesting turn of events.

A certain royal pain should really watch his mouth. If Celestia ever heard any of that, particularly the insult towards Sunset, he just might find himself getting disowned. (Surprised that hasn't happened before now).

“No promises if Blueblood pokes his head in, regardless if he’s Celestia’s nephew.”

She snorted as she signaled the guards to open the doors. “Rarity might find that arrangement quite agreeable,” she snickered.

The down side of that plan is that you'd have to look at him every night

The moon has a dark side...

Oh yes and it's very cold there :D

Whoever these attackers are, they have just made a really bad mistake.

Friendly word of advice, link to the previous story.

Okay, this is officially getting really scary. They're dealing with fanatics. :twilightoops:

Ohh, my oh my, this is not a good turn of events... But clearly something is, ah, unusual about the pony perpetrators given how they appeared. At least, that's how it seems to me.

I look forward to the next chapter, as always,

Ohhh boy. What's Sunset planning to do?

After such a dark beginning and a scary middle, it was nice to end this chapter with Sunset and Sunshine looking to the future and wishing for longer periods of peaceful respites from defending the two worlds from evil.

nice looking forward to more

(groaning) Something bad is going to happen, I just know it.

I went to press Next, but it wasn't there... Am I really caught up with the Homecoming chapter ficcs, having to wait for more? But it's too good... I've read quite a few of the single fics, I guess I'll read more. Keep up the good work!

Well. This is many shades of not good.

nice cliffhanger looking forward to more

Interesting seeing Philomena communicate with Sunset and Twilight and their basically facing anarchists controlling Lovecraftian horrors this'll be fun

OH MY GODS YOU DID UPDATED THREE OF YOUR STORIES!!!

After I finished reading Remedial Studies, I went back to the homepage, only to see that Entropy and Rip Van Glimmer have also been update. I may or may not have squealed with excitement...

Another wonderful chapter written. I can't wait to see who the true villain is, and what their true motivations are.

And so the prelude to the new war

Yikes, dangers are growing now. Hope they find the source soon.

Yowzah! This is intense. Looking forward to more! (When the hiatus is over, of course)

Oh, snap! Tempest to the rescue outta nowhere!

Huzzah for Tempest! Dam, she can take out a Blight with one shot.

Two, and Sunset didn’t even use magic to make one go pop.

The movie's been out for nearly six months. I'm not adhering to spoilers for arbitrary periods of time. There's been plenty of time to see it.

Kevin Spacey's character is Keyser Soze. Rosebud was a sled. Darth Vader == Anakin Skywalker. Bruce Willis' character was dead the whole time. The Planet of the Apes is actually a post apocalyptic Earth.

Damn me. Damn me all to Hell :P

Mate, the name's been in the short descriptions of stories in the feature box. If you want to avoid spoilers, you avoid websites related to the thing.

I'm polite enough to wait a month or two. I'm not wasting my time further than that. I cannot be arsed.

Well shit, face stealer, that's NEVER good. Creepier too.

HOLD ON JUST A MINUTE, HE CALLED HER "SEER." ONLY ACERAK HAS CALLED HER THAT, BEING A HARPY. BUT ENTROPY IS THE AMOUNT OF "CHAOS" IN A SYSTEM. AND CHAOS THEORY, OR THE LAW OF ENTROPY, THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS, ALL ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING, STATE THAT THE AMOUNT OF ENTROPY/CHAOS IN A SYSTEM ALWAYS INCREASES. WHICH MEANS, IF DISCORD IS MERELY THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS, AND NOT CHAOS ITSLF, HE CAN ONLY CAUSE ENTROPY, JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. BUT IT SEEMED LIKE ACERAK WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT CHAOS. WHAT IF ACEREK, IS ENTROPY. ΟR, THIS IS THE CREATURE IN CHARGE OF EVEN ACERAK. BUT WHAT IS THIS CREATURE, TRULY? IS IT A LICH? THIS RAISES SO MANY QUESTIONS AND IS SO GOOD.

yeah Sunset kick Entropys ass

8823221
My coffee hasn’t kicked in yet...come again?

Oh.

No, she’s not going to grandstand. Sunny and Twi will have the last blow.

And ritual explanation will be in the next chapter. But if you recall how Sunny and Twi were able to raise and lower the sun at all, you might be able to make some guesses. :twilightsmile:

Good stuff. Always cool when Celestia steps up.

Sunset is quite the determinator and looks like Celestia and Luna are back to full strength which means Entropy is going be facing a very angry sun goddess for harming her students and niece

Mother Celestia rage on Entropy now. Hope Sunset's horn can be healed since all pieces are there.

I'm literally dumbfounded, my mouth agape. I, just, wow. This. Just wow.

It's taken me at least ten minutes to get to this point in writing this comment. Just. Words make it so hard to describe. SO GOOD. Goodbye Sunset's horn, for now. She has never been good with her magic being ripped away from her, such as with Acerak. Speaking of, I STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY ENTROPY IS CALLING HER SEER. But still, wow. Sunset having enough determination to get back up after that. She has grown from her previous fights. It's still difficult piecing my thoughts together after that awesomeness in writing. Just, keep up the good work, and please update soon.

Celestia cannot be a deus ex machina, she is merely a deus. Also, in looking at the deus ex machina, Celestia doesn't even fit that category, she is pretty influental to the overall plot. And Entropy is essentially a deus (god) himself. And, even then, as you said, the ritual is supposedly incomplete, meaning Tia isn't even up to her full strength. Well, unless Tia was made by a machine, then she would literally be a deus ex machina.

The difference is one is where the protagonists are saved by an outside force vs the powerful character possible of defeating them in one swoop is unavailable.

The thing is, what can Celestia do that Sunset and Twilight haven’t yet tried?

Not a lot, it seems.

Just be paitient. Finishing up a small request while I let the current chapter percolate.

Oh hell, that's a dangerous gamble!

Ohhh, dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Mind-melding with the eldritch is never a good idea; you never emerge unchanged.

Really good wasn't expecting that. Nice touch with the alternate Sunset

So, was that Sunset from another story? If so, which one? Also, time for a mental battle, like Prof X v Apocalypse.

Another story, yes, but not one of mine. Used Sunset from SunLight Sliders, curated by Novel Idea. I participated in the sequel which will be coming out soon. We talked it over and decided to side reference it as a small touch.

I loved Sunlight Sliders! I've read the first couple chapters of the second one, but ultimately decided to wait for it to be published, as less waiting between chapters. But, looking at the thread, it may be nearing completion, so I might decide to continue, even if not done quite yet.

Holy shit, she pulled the Robot Paradox of a design purpose on his ass like Luthor did to Brainiac and Amazo in Justice League!
