It's over. Equestria has fallen. The four princesses and anyone who had ties to royalty are dead, and the element bearers and their families have been killed. The Kelpies, a race of water-dwelling equines, now rule Equestria with iron hooves. Most ponies now live in fear, though some support their new overlords.

Far off in the Crystal Mountains, a group of escapees look upon their former home. They may have been normal citizens of Equestria once, but now they are warriors. When the time comes, they will fight for Equestria.

[ Inspired off Season 5 Finale - Nightmare Moon Verse ]
Social reject, blank flank, and failed candidate for Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, Twilight Sparkle's life couldn't get anymore depressing even if she tried. Yet still she looks to the other things in her life to get by, such as her job selling donuts at Joe's Bakery, her best friend Smarty Pants, as well as her inspiration to someday be as great as The Great and Powerful Trixie herself! Life isn't as bad as it may seem, and she enjoys the simplicity of her daily routine, the peace of her recluse world. That is until suddenly she is targeted by the current ruling body of Equestria, Nightmare Moon herself!? Perhaps she spoke too soon. Better run Twilight, destiny is calling!

On behalf of the Canterlot University of Electrical Engineering, Princess Celestia sends her star pupil a mysterious contraption she wants her to take for "beta testing".

A mysterious, new invention dubbed the "Xbox 360".

Shenanigans and hilarity will ensue.

When Twilight Sparkle slipped beneath the covers last night, everything had been fine. She had friends whom she loved, a teacher she adored, and a bright future ahead of her. But when she woke up, her blankets and quilts had been replaced by hospital gowns and padded restraints.

Everything is wrong and nothing makes sense; even her friends have changed. The doctors keep telling her that she is sick, that none of it was real and that it was all in her head. Yet she remembers a life far beyond the hospital walls. She couldn't have made it all up on her own. They must be lying… right?

The interviews have drawn to a close. All goes according to the Administrator's plan... for the time being. A new threat, one that promises to definitively end the stalemate between RED and BLU, watches patiently and waits for an opportunity to strike.

It finds one.

As both sides struggle for survival, friendships are made, schemes are executed, trust is betrayed, and ponies are manipulated. All in the name of a worthy cause.

Such is the way of war.

Welcome to PvP - Pony versus Parasite.

Many thanks to Tarantad0 for the artwork and Sergiovan for proofreading the whole thing.

Sequel to Meet the Team: Pony Fortress 2. If you don't want to read the prequel, the first chapter (of this story, that is) should get you up to speed.

This story is a sequel to Scion of Chaos

Five years after the summer in which the three had gotten their cutie marks, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, now young mares in their own right, decide to go on a quick summer vacation, all as an attempt by Sweetie Belle to cheer up a sad friend. However, the trip turns out to be more than they had anticipated.

Set five years after Scion of Chaos and An Emerald Treasure. For the sake of context I'd recommend reading both of those first.

Special thanks to Mac349 and Plebeian for proofreading. Thanks to CMC4TW for editing/idea-mulling.

Your Universe is large, too large for words. And you may believe that it is stable, moving across time and space unmolested. But all universes are simply balls in a giant game of billiards, forever intertwining in the Void, across Infinity. This is known as the Multiverse, or Yggdrasil, the Tree of Existence. Its gardener is the Entity, a being that thinks its task is to make sure the branches and roots of Yggdrasil do not intermingle. But every now and then, the curious consciousness finds an oddity.
This oddity is a lost soul who seeks nothing more than to distance himself, firmly believing in his own insanity. But somehow, his actions affect the lives of many, and even Equestria itself. This is the story of Windell's journey and the adventures taken by those that have noticed the incursions.

For years, Sweetie Belle has secretly been turning to video games for relief from her insecurities. Now a talented member of an elite team of gamers from around the world, she has come to rely on her new friends for companionship and support as she bears the rising pressures of her coming-of-age.

But when a sudden gaming cutie mark reveals her secret to everyone she knows, she's forced to contend with her uncertainties over what it means for her future, along with a fresh wave of bullying at school, jealousy from her childhood friends, and mounting expectations from her family.

As she takes her first unsteady steps into adulthood, she may learn she's not the only one hiding a secret, and that her journey to self-discovery isn't one she walks alone.

A story about how kids raised in the age of the Internet have come to rely on online communities to escape from society's expectations for them and achieve the best, most authentic versions of themselves.

In a time long ago, in a land clouded with war, chaos, darkness and corruption, a last stand against a powerful enemy becomes a fatalistic error, as the "Father" of the Vampire race is cast into "The Gate", a portal supposedly leading to a plane of existence inhabited by extra-dimensional demons.

The governing laws of fate in that universe, however, had other plans for the ancient.

Now he exists within a lush and vibrant new realm, but still carries the darkness of his curse with him. Will he, the Father of the Vampire race, be able to adjust and accommodate himself amongst the peaceful populous of ponies, or will he perchance become a perilous predator to prey on the equine kind?

(To those who don't know, this is a Crossover with Legacy of Kain. Specifically, the end of the fourth game released in the series. *dodges thrown objects* I know that particular installment isn't the greatest, but with capable hands, i can make a decent story out of it with MLP: FiM. Have faith in me... or not. Regardless, i hope you enjoy.)

(Note: Yes, i know, it's not exactly very funny right now, but I PROMISE I will ramp up the comedy in future chapters)

(Note 2: I don't mind if you give me a thumbs down. It's disheartening, yes, but I ultimately don't mind. HOWEVER, I would prefer that you express WHY you gave me and my story a thumbs down. I can't grow as a writer if I don't know what I did wrong. So please, if you thumb it down, explain why you did. It will help me greatly. Thank you.)

This story is a sequel to Three Wishes: The Cutie Mark Crusaders Before They Changed The World

Twelve years after the Crusaders discovered their true nature, an ancient evil has returned. Celestia is hurt, magic is weakened, and Equestria is nearly lost. Now our heroes must find a way to fix things before time runs out, and the world falls to darkness forever. They'll join forces with friends they've made around the world, utilize amazing new breakthroughs in science and magic, and get help from some of the most unexpected of sources as they try to fix The Hole In The Sun.
