But not all the ring wielders will show restraint with their powers, as the darkness grows stronger, who's side will be taken?

* ActionGirl: Most of the Mane Six become this after getting their rings. However ringless characters like Princess Cadence, [[DrillSergeantNasty Spitfire]], and [[ActionSurvivor Cheerilee]] have their moments as well.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While [[VideoGame/StoryOfTheBlanks Mitta and Ruby]] were in fact friendly and helpful towards Apple Bloom in ''VideoGame/StoryOfTheBlanks'' [[note]]Ruby was a CuteGhostGirl who led Applebloom to Sunny Town by mistake and ultimately saved her from the cursed, whilst Mitta helped Applebloom escape from the town proper[[/note]], in this story, it's quite the opposite. While Ruby feels constant remorse and guilt for her horrific actions, Mitta seems to be completely villainous and relishing in the pain and suffering of her victims. The reason of this has yet to be explained...

---> '''Applebloom:''' Ah was playing ball with Twist when it bounced too close to the forest! Ah figured it was only near the edge Ah could just get it back easily, but when Ah got there Ah saw this little filly deeper in the forest!...Ah figured she might be lost so Ah called out to her, but she just went deeper. Ah was afraid if Ah left her something terrible would happen to her so Ah followed her trying to get her to come with me, but she wouldn't listen and eventually led me to...\\

* AntiHero: Rainbow Dash after she get's her Red Lantern ring.
* BadassCreed: Being a Green Lantern crossover, anyone with a ring has one. However they all tend to change it to their liking:

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Twilight, despite the Yellow Lantern running on Fear, she fights for the side of good.

* BigDamnHeroes: Applejack pulls this off when Rainbow Dash attempts to kill Twilight.

** Princess Cadence and Shining Armor pull this off by combining her love spell with his shield, allowing them to expel all of the Black lanterns out of Canterlot.

* CoolPet: Scootaloo recruits a ''Windigo'' into the Red Lanterns by using it's ability to feed on rage.
* CurbStompBattle: Pretty much the fate of any non-elite Black Lantern the goes up against Rainbow Dash, Gilda, and Scootaloo.
** Nightmare Moon dishes out a nasty one against Cadence, and Applejack & Twilight follow soon after. [[spoiler: Thankfully, her corrupted Elements of Harmony manage to rebel against her, forcing her to retreat before she can finish them off.]]

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:Queen Chrysalis is forced to resort to this when nearly her entire hive is overtaken by the Black lanterns. She casts a spell using forbidden magic the links the hive mind to every last changeling (excluding Murmur and Thorax who had their link severed via their horns being severed), annihilating their very bodies so they cannot be brought back.]]

* EmergencyTransformation: Scootaloo is made a Red Lantern to save her from a Black Lantern.

* EliteMooks: Several residents of Sunny Town became this after joining the Black Lanterns, Rainbow Dash even {{Lampshades}} it:

* [[spoiler:LastOfHisKind:]] [[spoiler: Chrysalis, Thorax, Murmur, and the few eggs they were able to save are the last remaining changelings in Equestria after Nightmare Moon's invasion.]]
* MadLove: Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They keep their relationship a secret and truly look out for themselves, even going so far as to devise a plan as to how to survive their trek through the forest and evade getting killed by the Black Lantern horde.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Diamond Tiara convinces Silver Spoon that they cannot make it to Vanhoover with so large a group, and that the only way to guarantee their survival was to dwindle their numbers so that Cheerilee may focus on protecting them instead.

*** In Chapter 4, when Gilda is about turned into a Black lantern by Mitta, Rainbow Dash arrives gives us this gem:

* VillainSong: An interesting example occurs in Chapter 2. Right after gaining the Green Lantern Ring, Applejack is confronted by Ruby, Mitta, and a recently corrupted Granny Smith. During the fight the trio proceeds to sing [[VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries "With Me"]] to further hammer in how hopeless her situation is and how she should just surrender. However at certain points of the song Applejack sings her own lyrics during the fight, and eventually [[TriumphantReprise takes over the entire song]] near the end, having it pertain to the fact that she won't surrender as she successfully defeats the trio.

'''In Brightest Day: The Second Front'''
----
[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/221919/in-brightest-day-the-second-front In Brightest Day: The Second Front]] is a side-story to "In Brightest Day...".

The evil of Nightmare Moon’s Blackest Night cannot be contained, seeping into another realm and bringing about darkness and death.

Sunset Shimmer, having self-exiled herself to an alternate universe inhabited by human counterparts of her homeworld, must take up the power of the Emotional Spectrum, move past her own personal issues, and mend the bonds she has broken in this world in order to bring about a team capable of defending it.

----
This story contains examples of:

[[folder: In Brightest Day: The Second Front]]

* AntiVillain: Sunset after she gets her Red Ring. She hates the Black Lanterns, but she plans to use the Ring's power to dominate the world and eventually Equestria. The only thing stopping her is the Green Guardian.
* AxCrazy: Pinkamena after becoming a Yellow Lantern.
** [[spoiler: Rarity falls into this category after she becomes an Orange Lantern (AKA "Diamante Elegante"). Due to the nature of her ring, the more objects she manages to obtain, the crazier she seems to get.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: Sunset comes to Scootaloo's rescue before a Black lantern can get her.
** The Azure Knight comes to Sunset and the Green Guardian's aid when facing off against Diamante Elegante.
* BadassCreed: Like in the original story, anyone with a ring has one and changes it to their liking:
** Red Lantern Sunset Shimmer:
-->''In Vengeful Day, in Hateful Night\\
Let those who wronged me fear my might!\\
All those who oppose truest hate,\\
Shall see my ring and seal their fate!''
** The Green Guardian:
-->''In brightest day, in darkest night,\\
All evil falls before my might,\\
To all who dare oppose what's right,\\
Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!''
** Yellow Lantern Pinkamena:
-->''Your greatest fears shall fuel my drive,\\
To slaughter all that are alive,\\
Behold the terror of my might,\\
I'm fear incarnate, flee from my light!''
** Orange Lantern Diamante Elegante [[spoiler: Rarity]]:
-->''In coldest dusk and darkest dawn,\\
I summon forth the cruelest spawn.\\
I yearn for power, wealth and might,\\
To take what's mine, that is my right!''
** The Azure Knight:
-->''"My power, neither green nor red,\\
Shall lead your soul away from dread,\\
To heal the deepest wounds of hate,\\
Let Hope shine forth and choose your fate!''
* EveryoneHasStandards: Sunset may be a jerk and a bully, but she'd never leave someone to die, as shown when she saves Scootaloo from a collapsing building and a Black Lantern.
** This comes into play again when all four Lanterns are battling in a theme park and their scuffle ends up nearly knocking over a ferris wheel, pretty much everyone (even their opponent Diamante Elegante) stops what they're doing to prevent it from collapsing.
* FailedASpotCheck / NiceJobBreakingItHero: Twilight, unaware of the Mirror being a portal, accidentally lets the Black Ring pass through, causing major problems for Earth.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:The Orange Lantern refers to herself as "Diamante Elegante", those who are familiar with the IDW comics should know that this is the exact same alias Rarity used during a wrestling match ([[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue29 issue #29]] to be exact).]]
* MysteriousStranger: The Green Guardian. Exactly who she is has yet to be revealed, only that she wields the Green Lantern Ring and seems to know Sunset very well.
** The Azure Knight falls into this category as well, all that's known about her personally is that she seems to be good friends with the Green Guardian.
* ParentalNeglect: Shown to be the reason why Sunset is the way she is; Sunburst was her older and more talented brother who got all their parents' praise, while all Sunset got was "we expected nothing less" or "Sunburst did it better"... until eventually she snapped and cut off all ties to her family after she became Celestia's student. Upon arriving in the Human world Sunset almost immediately ran into her Human family, who were desperately searching for her hoping to make up for their mistakes. Sunset discovered that a similar scenario happened resulting in her counterpart running away and decided to use this development to her advantage, taking her human self's place.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: After nearly getting killed by a Black Lantern and bleeding out from her injuries, Scootaloo goes through this. As a result she can't remember that it was Sunset who saved her life.

* ShootTheHostage: Rainbow Dash pulls this on Gilda when Mitta attempt's to use her as a meat-shield, but it's immediately {{subverted}} when Rainbow Dash reveals that she blasted her with a Ring Construct to turn her into a Red Lantern.

** When Twilight's ring run's out of energy, Pinkie says that they need several Triple A batteries and demands that they find a "pink bunny with a drum" since they last the longest, an obvious reference to the Energizer Bunny.

* TraumaInducedAmnesia: After nearly getting killed by a Black lantern and bleeding out from her injuries, Scootaloo goes through this, as a result she can't remember that it was Sunset who saved her life.

** While she still thinks Twilight is evil, Rainbow Dash wants the Black lanterns dead as much as everyone else and uses the light of rage to right them.

** Nightmare Moon dishes out a nasty one against Cadence, and Applejack & Twilight follow soon after, [[spoiler: thankfully, her corrupted Elements of Harmony manage to rebel against her, forcing her to retreat before she can finish them off.]]

* DefiantToTheEnd/LastStand: Rainbow Dash and Applejack both attempt this when surrounded by Black Lanterns, only for their respective actions to attract the Red and Green Rings.
