The mind is an odd thing, sometimes capable of changing a person's entire worldview with the shift of only a few key details. However, sometimes these shifts are far more widespread than they should be.

Celestia has noticed such a thing, and she is slightly worried. Thankfully, she has no shortage of old friends, and one of them offers a possible solution to her problems.

She's just left wondering one thing:

Who exactly are these "Phantom Thieves"?

(Dangan Ronpa crossover)

Equestria Girls: Ponysona the Melody of my heart

Following the battle with the sirens and the opening of the /Twilight Gate mysterious disappearances began to occur at Canterlot high. Determined to protect her friends and School Sunset Shimmer must adjust to her new living arrangments and investigate the rising darkness. She and her friends will learn much about friendship and how the bonds they cultivate can awaken a new power: Ponysona!

In Equestria, there is a special team that is only known by the princesses and 3 members of the Wonderbolts. A small and secret division known as the Specialised Operational Eradication Society (or SOES for short). There is also another special team that is known by the princesses and the captain of the royal guard and that's a secret squadron in the Royal Guard that investigates paranormal activities. Although these two teams do not know each other, both teams use the same special power: A persona, the manifestation of a pony's personality.

The 2 teams were transported to another Equestria in a different world through time and space. There, they meet unfamiliar faces, a clock tower that had never existed in their own, and two ponies who seem to have lost their memories. Determined to return to Equestria, the 2 teams work together in order to solve the mysteries of this world... And to fight for their survival...

This is a crossover of Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth. With a few tweaks and turns.

(Certain music used in this story are taken from the Persona Q OST, used without permission unfortunately)

Time had passed for the hero Yu Narukami, and it was already summer vacation. He remembered making a promise to all of his friends in Inaba that he would visit them whenever he got the chance. Ever since he and his friends defeated Izanami and dispelled the fog from both the real world and the T.V. world, things have been peaceful during his visits. His friends always welcomed him with open arms (or in Rise-chans way of it, a neverending embrace… her and Teddie). Everything in Inaba was perfect…

…

But the fog of lies do not simply fade away in one world… it moves on to another.

This story is a sequel to Dangan RomPonya

It had been five years since the incident at Hope's Peak Academy. It had to take some time but eventually the prestigious school was open again and with a new twist. Along with the 'Super High School Level' programme, every year it would switch places with a 'Super Middle School Level' programme.

Techno Blast is a young Pegasus that was asked to be part of the first ever 'Super Middle School Level' class at Hope's Peak Academy as a Super Middle School Level Inventor.

He is able to spend a little bit of time to introduce himself to the rest of the students in his class before he realizes all to soon what he had gotten himself into....

A direct sequel to 'Dangan RonPonya' and is suggested that you read that first before this unless you want to be spoiled on that story.

Warning! This story DOES have spoilers for the first and second Dangan Ronpa game, if you haven't played those yet, be wary when reading.

Fifteen individuals were selected to become the new hope for all of Equestria, bringing together all sentient races in peaceful resolution - Calling Elites from many different fields of expertise so they can hone their skills and become friends.

That was the idea.

However, even the best laid plans can fail. The fifteen are taken by a maniac to a world where logic is thrown out the window and the only way to escape is to murder another!

Who will survive? Who will die? And what is the reason behind being kidnapped just to kill each other?

Several years later, after Twilight has become an Alicorn, the Academy of Magic and Friendship makes it's grand opening at last.

Sixteen ponies, former students of Cheerilee's class of fillies and colts, are summoned to attend the new high school on a tour. However, things turn sour quickly when the tour is taken over by a strange, black and white teddy bear, who declares that the ponies have to commit a perfect murder in order to go home.

In this edition of Dangan Ronpa, the events will stray from the canon series, but stay faithful to the character driven, dark humor style of Dangan Ronpa, so it'll be written as if it started in Equestria! No need to have played the games at all to understand the story, but it'll add to the experience if you're watching the anime/play(ed) the game.

But I Pinkie Promise that there will be NO SPOILERS of the Dangan Ronpa games.
