Sunset smiled as woke with the shine of the sun, she yawned as she trotted out of a small bedroom and entered the small bathroom. She had a quick shower and grabbed an apple from the fridge before exited her new home. She smiled “Maybe I can go over to the Apple Farm.”

She trotted towards the farm waving at the local ponies with a smile, this town was so much more inviting then the Everfree City. Sunset past the farm only to see a large red Earth Pony colt and the orange earth pony filly that she saw yesterday approach her, the colt smiled “You're the pony who saved our parents yesterday, Ah’m Big Mac and this is my sister Applejack.”

Sunset smiled “I’m Sunset Shimmer, may I ask where your parents are?”

Applejack smiled “Their out in the orchard bucking Apples, they started out in the West Orchard if you wish to speak with them.”

Sunset smiled “I’ll head out there then, maybe I’ll even join you for lunch later.” Sunset trotted through the farm with a smile on her muzzle, huge trees covered in apples towered over her. She smiled as she saw Bright Mac and Pear Butter bucking trees, Sunset waved “Do you need any help?”

Pear Butter smiled “If you think you can but be careful. You have control your strength in order to do this, you don’t want to damage the trees.”

Sunset nodded as she closed her eyes and delivered a solid kick to the tree, several apples dropping into a basket. Bright Mac smiled “Pretty good for a first try.”

Sunset shrugged “Power is not an issue, my father was a dragon and quite powerful. I have learned how to control that strength over the years, else I would be breaking everything I touched.”

Pear Butter blinked “Oh, dragons are citizens now. It’s often forgotten out here, they rarely come by here.”

Bright Mac smiled “I would love to see some of them come out this way, it would make things much more lively around here.”

Sunset frowned as she slammed her hooves into the tree again “You two just got attacked by Timberwolves, I doubt either you is lacking in the excitement department.”

Pear Butter frowned as she bucked another tree “Exactly, we could have died if you didn’t turn up. I’ve had enough excitement for one lifetime.”

Sunset nodded “Indeed, I can agree with that living the simple life out here would a nice change of pace and…” Sunset frowned as she felt a powerful surge of magic, her horn glowed as she dropped her illusion revealing her half dragon form “I’m sorry but a surge of magic that powerful is rare. I must investigate.”

Sunset took off heading towards the magical source at rapid speed, her eyes widened as he flew over Cloudsdale only to see a light purple quadrapedal unicorn fighting a purple quadrapedal Alicorn and was pushing the Alicorn back. Sunset flew in between the and shouted “What is going on!”

The Alicorn eyes widened “Sunset how are you here, the…”

Sunset’s eyes narrowed “How do you know me?” Her horn glowed with a quick scanning spell, she rubbed her muzzle as she felt the temporal magic around her “Who though it was a good idea to mess with time magic? That is just stupid.”

The light purple Unicorn growled “I did, because she and her band of fools ruined the town I was building.’

The Alicorn snapped “You tried to steal our Cutie Marks from us, we didn’t have enough evidence to cause any issues before that! Sure the equal marks were weird but we didn’t have to do anything before you stole our special talents!”

Sunset noticed the Alicorn’s Cutie Mark, her eye’s widened “Are you the bearer of the Element of Magic?”

The Alicorn nodded “Yes and my friends are the other Elements Bearers.”

The Unicorn shouted “What does that even mean!”

Sunset frowned “Um.. I didn’t catch your name.”

The Unicorn took a deep breath “I’m Starlight Glimmer and that pony over there is Twilight Sparkle.”

Sunset frowned “Well Starlight allow me to explain, the Elements of Harmony are powerful artefacts that dwarf even the power of the Alicorns. The chaos lord Discord was sealed by their might where even the combined powers of the Alicorns could not. The Equestria greatest defence only wielded by a chosen few and keeps the creatures that could be called gods from tearing apart our nation.”

Starlight cautiously questioned “So I’d take stopping the bearers from getting their special talents would be a bad idea?”

Sunset nodded “It would be yes.”

Twilight sighed “Well my castle is powered by the Elements of Harmony and it sent all of us to your village to stop what you were doing.”

Starlight sagged in the air “Harmony didn’t approve of my village, I guess everything I worked for was for nothing.”

Twilight smiled “Don’t worry, maybe you find a new purpose in my castle. You made some mistakes but everyone deserves a second chance.”

Sunset frowned as the two dissapeared through a strange magical portal that just opened, before she could leave she knocked backwards by a huge rainbow shockwave that filled the sky. She blinked as she landed reapplying her disguise “What was that?” She then heard whimpering, a yellow bipedalpegasus filly with a pink mane was sitting on the ground sobbing.

Sunset approached quietly and whispered “Are you alright?”

The filly turned around “I fell from a cloud and some butterflies carried me here. I’m a pretty poor flier and I can’t get back home, what should I do?”

Sunset picked her up with her levitation and placed her on her back “I’ll take care of you and I’ll try to get in contact with Cloudsdale about a missing filly. For now I’ll take are of you.”

The filly whispered “Thank you, I’m Fluttershy.”

Sunset smiled back “I’m Sunset Shimmer, you can stay with me for a bit.” Sunset trotted along with the filly on her back, things were looking up.

Author's Note

Yeah, the Rainboom happened. I may put more effort toward Heroes of Beacon than this story, that wone should have been finished long ago.
