The Rainbow of Harmony wasn't enough to defeat Azazel, a being from another dimension. Twilight and her friends sacrificed their lives to give the seal the power it needed, but Twilight was left behind. Distraught by the turn of fate, she locked herself in her tower, searching for any possible means of bringing her friends back from the dead. Celestia and Luna went seeking answers as well, in the hope that it could help Twilight.
After three hundred years, Twilight has read nearly every book in the archives to find the answers. A strange theory about souls gives her a chance to bring back her friends, but the spell goes wrong, and she wakes up in another body: a human's body. Scattered across the land, the spell does bring her friends back, but they're also in unfamiliar forms.
Equestria isn't the country that she or her friends remember. After three hundred years without any monarchy, it's nearly unrecognisable, but it's still their home, and they need to defend it. For there are still threats to ponykind from outside, and Azazel is not without aid from inside...

Liberties taken with canon: Equestria Girls never happened. Everything else up to Tirek is ancient history in-universe. I haven't seen Season 4, so any nods to that are (probably) coincidental.
If you click the 'source' button on the bottom right of the image, it'll bring you to the gallery that inspired this whole thing. However, I won't be using all of the ponies shown there, and I may change a few things or transform a few ponies that aren't in there.
In case anyone gets confused, here's all the copyright stuff:
Most of the characters belong to Hasbro, and these depictions belong (mainly) to Yatonokami. Cloud Skipper and Midnight Blossom (actually, most of the Royal Guards) belong to Equestria-Prevails. There may be other characters later who belong to other people, so I'm just going to say here that I own nothing except this story and maybe one or two OCs, such as Azazel.
Spoilers in the comments, just like everything else.

Unfortunately, I've decided this story was basically just not going anywhere, so I cancelled it. I am still planning to do something with the concept once I'm done with LAT, though.
Interesting story and I like that I'll stay around for more.
Cool premise. Gonna fav this and see where it goes.
How'd Scootaloo get 300 years into the future?
I have to say, I'm rather intrigued by this story. It's an interesting setup and seems to be going in an unexpected direction. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
And if the spell brought Scootaloo back as a human, I wonder if the rest of the CMC came back as well...

I do have a reason in mind why it's more than just the Mane 6 coming back, but that's not coming for a while.
The story is getting higher and I loved it......keep it up
4994959 Thanks for that.
interesting choice for her i like it. ^_^
5000455 The original draft of Rarity's chapter was just terrible, so it's nice to hear that the published version isn't from someone other than the guy who helped me write it.
Oooh the build up... moar plz :)
interesting choice a gauntlet with claws and a yoyo i like it. keep up the good work.
5005930 It's from this gallery: http://yatonokami.deviantart.com/gallery/
interesting. good to see she still has the stare. can not wait to see how they all react to twilight.
keep up the good work. ^_^
nice, now...
5014683 Sorry about that. I promise next chapter shit will actually happen. And you will probably hate me even more when I do GET ON WITH IT.
sad, but i guess it makes seance. but i guess it gives it more flavor. keep up the good work.
I like the twist already,keep it up........
DAMN,this is really giving me the goosebumps
<3
color me intrigued
5028752 Thanks for that, and the favourite.
You've got to love prophecy like this... though I have to wonder what purpose Diamond Tiara serves in all this.
Nice battle against the wolves. But if Twilight and her friends keep encountering trouble because they're humans things could get out of hand soon. At least they know Celestia and Luna are back.
Stupid shadow reapers and wolves, hopefully Rainbow and Rarity will be able to handle any similar attacks that occur near them.
5095173 Azazel's menagerie is supposed to be pretty much the bestiary from a Devil May Cry game, so trust me, there'll be more different kinds.
5095190 Oh joy. They're going to need more Dakka.... Lots of Dakka.
I am sad to see that this story got cancelled. I was still several chapters behind because life got busy and I never got around to reading them, but I had really been enjoying what I had read.
