This story is a sequel to Mighty McIntosh - Origins

Applejack has returned to Sweet Apple Acres after an unknown quest with her five friends, embracing her family. One pony is missing from the farm. Big McIntosh is nowhere to be seen. Little known to her, but well known to Applebloom, the patriarch of the farm now resides deep within the Everfree forest; honing a power granted by the Elemental Ponies.

Gummy is happy with Pinkie Pie, right? They always share a good laugh with their wacky antics. Yet somehow it always feels kind of one sided. He never speaks, and rarely smiles. Has anypony ever asked him how he feels? I wonder what he might say about his best friend. Maybe he's silent because he's never truly alone.

Claude the Puppeteer became obsessed with Rarity's short-lived failure turned ravaging success. He goes investigating how he might discover her secret, starting with a little detail of that fateful day. A small creature who always accompanies the fashionista.

Big Mac is just an ordinary pony from Ponyville. He works at the family farm, Sweet Apple Acres. Keeping the peace at the farm can be a hassle at times, especially with the Cutie Mark Crusaders running around and his sister being a fundamental element of friendship. Though one day the Crusaders uncover something that changes everything.

Everyone's favorite adventurer acquires news of a fresh crisis, in a land most would rather see burn. This bit of info arrives upon the wings of Daring Do's biggest fan, Rainbow Dash. Will two ponies be enough to save an entire Kingdom? (Well, two characters cooperated to save the Crystal Empire, but that's probably not the point.)

Rainbow is impatient for the muffins Derpy is baking.
