''Several quiet months pass, as crime takes a downturn. Thanks to Princess Twilight's School of Friendship, the return of the old pillars of Equestria to serve as advisers, and improving international relations, Equestria is free of threats that demand the full attention of the combined Power Ponies.''

''Petty crime still rears its common head, leaving many members with their hooves... or claws full. Petty theft abounds in Fillydelphia, while Goldfin in particular has to deal with crime that happens where ever she isn't. If she's uptown, it's at the docks, if she's chasing smugglers, there's a bank robbery, it's organized, and a pain in the flank to deal with. While Equestria as a whole is doing better, there is no question that the heroes are kept busy. Glaive in particular has dropped entirely off the radar, same as Goldenheart, the later suspected of murdering the former.''

''Despite all the rumors circulating about how the Power Ponies aren't needed in this new era of friendship, one day, night falls, and day does not come. Ponies sit and wait, expecting Princess Twilight Sparkle or Princess Celestia to bring rise to the day, and then the rumors start, ranging from thoughtful, to downright concerning.''

Days pass and Goldfin soon has a new problem on her hooves, phytoplankton have been unable to feed off of starlight, and moonlight, which will soon cause ecological collapse of not only Equestria's oceans, but oceans across the world, to say nothing of the ability of earth ponies to farm.

''Finally, to the horror of all ponies, a single alicorn situates herself in the throne room, eyes shining in the moonlight as a wave of her hoof turns the glowing torches to a cool blue. The dark ebony creature makes her proclamation though her fangs, just as fearsome as the snake-like pupils that sit above her muzzle, and the proclamation is enough to chill the hearts of all who hear it.''

Nightmare Moon: "The night shall last forever."

''News of Nightmare Moon's return to power spreads across Equestria in a storm. Thanks to the never ending night, crime returns to an all time high, even if the punishments for it grow more severe. Still the situation is not without hope as a casual knock comes at the door to Princess Celestia's cell, deep under Canterlot castle, and two ponies file in to greet the imprisoned princess. One, an agent of S.M.I.L.E, going by the name Agent White, the second, the Power Pony Glaive, looking quite healthy despite rumors of his murder persisting for months. The agent sits down on the floor before Princess Celestia and inclines her head in greeting.''

Agent White: "Good evening Princess Celestia."
