It shouldn't have been a big deal. Celestia was kidnapped or knocked out or just generally made to seem powerless by whatever idiot with ill intent decided to show up on a nearly weekly basis. As the mighty and immortal Sun Princess, she could escape at any time, but she was happy to play these little games. The daring rescues and bloodless battles gave her ponies such a sense of confidence and purpose!
But this one didn't go as planned. One small, stupid mistake got her thrown to the twisted reaches of the world-prison, Tartarus. Now alone, unarmed, and barely more than mortal, Celestia wakes in a living landscape where everything has every reason to hate her.
And, far worse, she has accidentally picked up a passenger.

Sidenote: This a repost (I tried to go through official channels, I promise!) of a story I wrote long, long ago on an account I foolishly deleted. Back in those days, Tartarus hadn't shown up in an actual episode yet. It's not exactly an alternate universe situation, but it has nothing to do with the canon portrayal of the place.

Super amazing cover art by Cold In Gardez.

"This is the story of one of history's grandest and oddest heroes, her name is Spark and she is a Guardian wielding the light to protect the last city. Though the oddest part is that she is not of the normal races that make up the Guardians, rather she is something else entirely with wings and a horn."

Ok so one of my favorite stories that never seemed to get off the ground was a story where Twilight is whisked away to the world of Destiny and resurrected by Ghost in the Cosmodrome to help protect humanity. Unfortunately, it has been a very long while since it was last updated. So I decided to go and use that idea and make my own Destiny crossover with our favorite adorkable egghead.

Now as I said this and the original story are based on the same idea so they will be very similar to start but the story that gave me this idea didn't get very far into it.

I mention this story only to give the idea credit to the creator, though my story will be similar it will not be a copy of theirs. I am only sharing with you dear readers a great story that inspired this one.

This story is a sequel to Waiting For Perfect

Celestia and Twilight are getting married. It'll be the most wonderful day in either of their lives. If only there weren't all those trials Twilight had to complete... Whoops? Sorry about that, Twi!

There is no chaos.

And that is a problem.
