It flashed as Sunny’s eyes locked onto it, the miasma of blue magic clearing away like fog in the sun, and within it came a new rush of horror. Bodies collapsed in front of her, disfigured as jagged crystals grew rapidly out of them, blood flooding out of their mouths as they gargled in pain. A city atop a mountain much like Zephyr Heights billowed black smoke as towers fell down over fleeing ponies. A pile of unicorn horns, none with owners, each fractured and sparking, burned beneath an eclipse that oozed fire.

oh she didn't just go mad, Twilight lost it completely. there's this small thing she would break IRL with this, what is it now? ah, yes. The Geneva Convention.

Okay... the most obvious seems like Twilight went bonkers because of immortality, and decided that the best way to proceed was to avoid forming new friendships and links by killing of everyone (pretty sure it wasn't what her friends had in mind). Well, the good news is that the world isn't ending on this Summer Celebration !

... the bad news is that apparently, uniting the crystals sealed Twilight, and now they're close again. And apparently Sunny isn't alone in her head anymore. But as they said, the Summer Sun Celebration is tomorrow, and it'll bring the merriment it promise on delivering !

Most probably for us. For our poor protagonists... well

Oh, buck.

Twilight needs the crystals gathered at the lighthouse so it can bring her back.

“P… Pinkie Pie?”

There is silence.

Oof. My heart.
Also, why does it feel so right that Pinkie would be the last survivor?

Okay...dude.
Evil Demon Twilight is scary as hell. Like, she was creepy before, but seeing her motivations.....damn.

next time...
The exciting conclusion of Elemental Crystal Z!

The Titania's Wrath.....

I haven't read this, but it's in the featured box a lot so I see it frequently. But i swear to God, every time I see the thumbnail, Sunny gets smaller and Twilight gets more aggressive.

The Elements were used to save a fallen Princess on the night of the Summer Sun Celebration. Now they're at risk of being used to release a fallen Princess on the night of the Summer Sun Celebration.

There's a bit of dramatic irony there, but I don't think anypony is going to be able to appreciate it since the sanctity of the entire world is at risk.

Wow this is the scariest twilight I have ever seen. She just wants death and everything to suffer like she did.

11032723
Oh shit, you're right.

Nice.

“Ring of friendly ponies, one for every tribe. Bring the love together and the old witch comes alive. Pull us all apart and we’ll see the shining day, trust in one another and your loved ones go away.”

Looks like we have the start of the lyrics for the inevitable song based on the story.

Just when I think the story couldn't possibly get even more awesome, it does. A lot of world building here and it's really built up the tension for the possible return of the witch. I can't wait for Twilight to appear and shower everyone in friendship. (Those are screams of joy)

“‘Ring of friendly ponies, one for every tribe. Bring the love together and the old witch comes alive. Pull us all apart and we’ll see the shining day, trust in one another and your loved ones go away.’ Sounds like nonsense to me.”

This legitimately sounds like a children's poem just change a few words.

Atchoo, atchoo, we all fall down!

She blinked to herself on the floor. It felt so obvious now. She was probably having nightmares about watching her house collapse while she was still in it, probably not remembering them due to some weird mental block from the event.

*Pity laughter*

Yes!! My theory was correct if a bit oversimplified!

Noticed new cover art I. It's good but I perfer the older cover image with how insane-twi was sitting down but still kidding over sunny.
Sidenote: where did Luna go? Is she like sleeping with the dragons because I doubt she would tolerate her realm getting abused like this

More important question, where is Celestia and how she felt about de facto creating such massive, nation-shattering monster?

Sunny seems to be in denial.

11033486
Did he ever say anything about the sun going all spoopy?
If not celestia is probably either depressed her student came out this way or trying to find her sister Luna

The way I see it, either she and Celestia found a way to pass away in their retirement… or Twilight decided to find it for them.

So your saying the princesses suicided? I can't even comprehend that it's so far fetched.
I don't think twilight would kill them both probably lock them in the sun and moon respectively

11033659
I'm just speculating. And for that matter, we've seen just how brutally spiteful this Twilight has become in her fall. If she's willing to do such violent things to complete strangers in the name of ending companionship, how do you think she'd treat the princesses, who, by her logic, "did this to her" by granting her immortality?

holy shit..this is good

“I heard Earth Ponies were the pony ladder’s bottom rung…”

i love that song, :D

“Did I scream?”
“Nope.”
“Giggling? Stand up and levitate and spin my head around backwards?”

. "Not yet, my dear Sunny. Not yet."

“How about some tea, Izzy?” Zipp suggested, gently rocking Sunny.

Sunny: "Tea sounds nice. A few gallons please."

“The Elements of Harmony belong now to you, the three races of our nation, not to the heroes of old. May they grant you security and safety in unity. Thank you.”

This will either work out very well or very bad. Nothing in between.

Probably the ladder one since the sun and moon are still up so they must be connected in a way
