The sun was beginning to set by the time Twilight and the others began their return to Ponyville, with their first stop being the Tree of Harmony. With all of the princesses helping, they made it a priority to find everypony that had been abducted and bring them back to Canterlot, including the ponies that had been taken from the outlying towns. It was fairly easy to find everypony, since the invaders had all unloaded them in one big spot, and with the princesses and some powerful unicorns working together in a big chain of teleportation, it was simple enough to return them to the city, however taxing it may have been. What followed upon their return to the city was perhaps the biggest, most organized reconstruction effort that had ever been seen in Equestria, with even the young colts and fillies chipping in to help fix everything that had been destroyed or damaged in the city. Though there was only so much they could do in a single day, there were already talks of plans for everypony to spread out and help fix the outlying towns as well once Canterlot had been finished.
