The opening titles of MLP have always felt like they were from a different version of the show. This is that version...

Fed up with being useless at magic, a blank-flanked Twilight Sparkle does the only thing she feels she can do... she runs away. Fortunately, she has a good friend along for the ride...

Now has a sequel: Nightwaker, which presents the return of Nightmare Moon in this timeline.

Featured 10/16-10/19/2018 -- thanks, everypony, for your kind support and feedback on this version of the pilot story!

Scootaloo was an orphan filly whose always wanted to be a hero and save others. One day, her life changes as she gets sucked into the DC universe and ends up in Gotham City. She gets rescued by the Bat-Family as Batman volunteers to take care of her. Scootaloo sees this as her chance to become a hero and honor her parents' memory and maybe even have a father figure. (Takes place in between seasons 4 and 5 and inspired by the father and daughter like relationship Bats and Scoots shared in 'A Dark Knight For Equestria'.) Batman: property of DC comics. My Little Pony: property of Hasbro. Environment of Gotham City is heavily influenced from the Arkham games. It's a mix of the 60's and modern day.

Equestria is still picking up the pieces after the defeat of Tirek, and everypony is helping out with the paperwork, even Rainbow Dash. Things change when Princess Celestia arrives, bringing with her a letter with some very stunning accusations of the exploits of a resident in the town of Oasis. Now, the main six are tasked with finding out if the letter was truth or fiction. Did this Mister Baker really do what they claim? Only one way to find out.

However, Mister Baker is not who, or what they expected.

Rated Teen for occasional language. Additional tags added for more dark themes.

Celestia and Luna have ruled in Equestria for over a thousand years. Their age along with the unbelievable power that they wield to move the sun and moon has caused most ponies to see them as gods.

But as powerful as they are, gods they are not. For the being that has arrived in Equestria has powers that can rival and surpass their own. He is a deity millennia of years old, a deity who commands the thunder and lightning with an incredible might and a hammer that can shatter the sun and moon.

And Celestia and Luna will learn that they are not all powerful. That they are not as mighty as they believed. They are not gods.

They are not Thor.

Spike had disappeared from Ponyville as we know it after the Diamond Dog incident, and somehow ended up in the TF2 universe. Now watch as he returns to Equestria, and balances having 2 families with similar morals and different ideals. THIS is gonna get wierd.

Having had enough with Gotham and it's seemingly endless criminal underworld, Jason Todd, or as he's known amongst most as the Red Hood, decides to find his own city to protect. Just like Dickybird. Even if it's a small city, he'll do whatever he can to protect it. Even if he has to resort to drastic measures, such as killing. Though he'll get hell from Bruce if he ever does that.

Spike is the only dragon in Cantorlot. He was born and raised there and has earned The Princess's deepest trust. But when he fears danger will strike she wont listen and sends him and his assistant, Twilight Sparkle, to Ponyville. The Princess said that Spike needs to meet more ponies then just Twilight but Spike knows there is danger and will try as hard as he can to stop it.
