This story is a sequel to A Tale From Equestria 2 - A Better Equestria, Part 1

The Elements Of Harmony have returned to Equestria Prime from being imprisoned on Equestria 2, but the seeds of change have already been planted. As they return, they are already faced with the challenge of the Elements of Tranquility already putting into motion their plans of changing Equestria Prime.

They think they are doing what is best for Equestria, but the Elements of Harmony think otherwise and need to find a way to undo what they've done as well as show them the error of their ways. However, is it the error in their ways or are the Elements of Harmony the ones that are wrong for once?

This story is a sequel to A Flicker of Hope - A Tale From Equestria 2

An Equestria where evil has been vanquished and negative emotions has all been eliminated. To some, it sounds a little too perfect, but in Equestria 2, it is believed to have been done. That is if you spoke with the Elements of Tranquility, the parallel of Equestria-Prime's Elements of Harmony. Except what kind of Equestria is left if, in order to remove negative emotions, you get rid of all emotions, including love? Is this an Equestria that is better than Equestria-Prime, even though love doesn't, or rather, isn't allowed to exist?

Can sacrifice be turned into hope, or is tragedy inevitable?

In another Equestria (Equestria-2) the Elements of Tranquility are called on another task to restore peace and ensure the safety of everypony when the Crystal Empire shows up after a thousand years from it's disappearance. They have never failed any crisis they've faced, even if success was through not so friendly means, but how exactly will they change when faced with an evil that feeds on hate?
