This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Nine Elements Book 3
The story continues with season 4, where Sunset Shimmer has returned to Equestria as opposed to staying in the human world.
This retelling is partially inspired by SuperPinkBrony12's MLP (What If?) series. (Start here if you're interested.)
My Little Pony (C) Hasbro.
NOTE: The anthro tag applies because Sunset made a device that allows ponies to become anthro, which is revealed later.
1. AMAZING chapter
2. In this context, does Bi-Weekly mean every two weeks, or twice a week?
12038812
Every two weeks.
12038814
Thank you
1. Ah it’s good to be back into the main series again! S4 going to be a big one for sure! Especially with what’s coming in this season!
2. Going to feel weird getting used to the new update schedule. (So we’re looking at seeing future stories coming out way later than expected) but hey, is what it is, and will get used to it eventually (after all we have waited longer than that during months hiatus) and by the looks of it, S4 will end about late 2025 with RR possibly starting in 2026.
Though I have to asked, guessing during those in between weeks, your other story will be getting updated?
12038838
Between the two weeks, I’ll post a new chapter for one of my other works.
12038845
Already then.
12038845
Oh btw, with the new story up.
Will there be an episode list for all the chapters that will be adapted and/or be in a different order?
Because I remember that 1 episode will not happen and an original episode will be happening instead
12038849
Those will be on deviantart.
12038851
I’ll work on that later.
12038857
Already then.
Excellent start. Now they have to uncover more what happened to Celestia and Luna while dealing with the out of control Everfree Forest
12038863
Yep.
Thanks very much for getting the fourth book in this series started. I definitely liked the work going into the dialogue, characterizations, action and future chapter set-up. I really appreciated the foreshadowing for later seasons with Sunset's commentary on the Tree of Harmony as well as the introduction to the pony counterparts of Juniper and her sister, in addition to the bits with Flash, Vanguard and Javelin, the Harmony Element fragments, the reveal of Sunset's middle name, Pinkie's POSSIBLE foreshadowing guess concerning Grogar , the stuff with Dark Mimic and her mother's ghost, Applejack making that extremely valid point to Rainbow about Sunset having been in a world (mostly) without magic for three years and Discord's fourth-wall breaks before Twilight ended up travelling back (in her mind) to Nightmare Moon's first appearance (the last one from the canon episode).
Definitely looking forward to more of this.

Full disclosure, the Juniper that appears in this chapter has nothing to do with the Equestria Girls character. She didn't have a name before meeting Sunset and Sunset just happened to give her the name Juniper.
Let’s go I’ve been waiting for this to come out and can’t wait to see happens in it
12038917
Next chapter comes out in two weeks.
12038926
Great I look forward to it as I really like this series of yours
12038938
Thanks.

Your welcome
Pretty good start to season 4.
Guess with this release schedule, each season will roughly take about a year to finish up (26 episodes on a biweekly schedule is 52 weeks for one season) with Rainbow Rocks releasing in Fall of 2025 and Season 5 coming in 2026.
Interesting seeing what Sunset's been up to since returning and the new powers she's gained.
Foreshadowing for Grogar in the final season.....
Nice use of the more adult humor from Discord.
Next time: The Guardians attempt to solve the tree vine problem as Twilight gains more answers on the supposed Tree of Harmony and the group gaining a new surprise at the end.
So who is the hypothetical voice for Juniper (not to be confused with Juniper Montage) and Dahlia?
12038951
Well, there’s the mid-season hiatus, holiday breaks, and other circumstantial breaks.
12038952
Juniper, Kathleen Barr. Dahlia, Kelly Sheridan.
Excellent start. I didn't expect a title change compared to the two-parter's episode name.
I don't know how these will come into play because this is the first time I've heard of them from that game.
As Garfield (Lorenzo Music version) would say: "You guessed it, buster."
Nice idea with the adult humor thing when it comes to Discord. I can only imagine that Discord's eye isn't really hurt by that knife since it IS Discord after all.
Now, we go back in time of the two sisters!

I think it’s worth noting that I laid subtle foreshadowing of my plans for Sunset. Can you find the signs?
12039017
Not really. I just know a foreshadowing of "Shadow Play"
12039032
Have you noticed that throughout the chapter, she kept her composure?
12039035
As in an Element of Harmony thing?
12039036
What I’m getting at is I plan to make her the leader of the Guardians.
12039038
Oh that. And yet, will Twilight and Spike still be involved?
12039039
Her ability to keep calm despite the desperate situation is a strong hint, right?
12039040
Right. But that still doesn't answer my question though.
12039041
Of course they will. Why wouldn’t they?
Good start, looking forward to seeing the next chapter when it comes.
12039055
Thanks.
Oh nice, I wonder when moonrise will come back into the picture and if the time for the final confrontation comes if they burn her to ash lock her away or just reform her to some degree.
12039313
Moonrise is too far gone to be reformed.
I wonder how Starlight Glimmer will react to Sunset when they meet for the first time, my guess is that Sunset will take priority for Starlight because she's Sunbursts sister, Starlight will probably hate her more than anything else and target her instead of Twilight.
12039457
Wait and see.
Is the anthro part going to replace the Bats episode?
I love it so far. I’m just asking but did you consider my scorpan idea yet?
12039554
No. I plan on the Bats! replacement being about Sunset getting hooked on a video game. It'll make sense when we get there.
12039582
Not yet.
12039585
Sorry, just really excited
Will Lyra Heartstring appear in Amending Fences because she's Twilight friend in Canterlot?
12043652
Too early to think about that.
Waaah! Discord chill! I wouldn't do that bro!
12044068
That was a little something I found too funny to pass up.
One could say Chaotic in nature!
HEY!
I WILL DO AS I PLEASE!
also im INCREDIBLY busy
Like Dealing with my own issues!
