"You can be a hero!"

Twilight Sparkle wants to be a hero. She didn't expect the most powerful hero in Equestria to lend her a hoof. She's now set on the path of legends, but it's not going to be an easy one.

An MLP x My Hero Academia Crossover.

Gore tag because If you know the source material, you know what's in store for Twilight

There’s no end to the monsters that lurk in the dark.

Ghosts, werewolves, mad scientists, cultists, mutants, zombies, vampires, aliens and more lie in wait in the dark corners of Equestria, terrorizing the night. But the most infamous and dangerous of them all is the legendary witch Twilight Sparkle, with a five hundred million bit bounty on her head.

Seeking fame and fortune, Rainbow Dash sets out to defeat the legendary witch and collect the massive reward. The one thing she wasn't counting on was Twilight being less evil than she expected.

The revolution, lead by the Inquisitor, successfully overthrew the Equestrian Triarchy, and established a "new government, for the ponies, by the ponies," officially aiming to bring prosperity to their nation.

It's been three years since the revolution, Twilight Sparkle fled when it became apparent that the Inquisitor's goals were less than benevolent, and she has been in hiding ever since. Despite repeated attempts by the Inquisitor to find her, none have been successful.

One thing is certain, however. While Twilight lives, the Inquisitor's days are numbered.

Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic, Hero of Equestria and first casualty in the Changeling war. When she passed she became the rallying cry for the Equestrians in the short lived war. When Chrysalis attempts a surprise attack on Canterlot a mysterious figure in armor appears and slays Chrysalis in front of the princesses. Now it's time they learn that anyone can change.

For better or worse.

Big thanks to Nightcloak for the huge help in editing this train wreck of a story.
