Darkness is surrounding Soul's mind. Whispering in his thoughts, leading his way through life silently.
Guilt and sorrow are forcing him to life in isolation.

Slipping through the cracks of the dark eternity with nothing but his pain and the paralyzing agony.
He is so tired of all the pain, of the misery inside. If he'd make another step there will be no more turning back.

What will he decide if he is confronted with his inner demon?

After so many failures in taking over Equestria, the sadistic Changeling queen has declared total war on Equestria. Forced to be spread out to different corners of the country, Twilight Sparkle and her friends prepare for what may be the toughest crisis they've faced, with an old ally returning to aid them.

Little does anyone realize, however, that something has come to Equestria, something which when discovered, will shake the foundation of the country to its core and turn the tide of victory in favor of either the Changelings or the newly established Guardians of Harmony. Which will it be?

An ancient trickster has awoken and eternal winter has come to Equestria. The North calls to its former inhabitants. The keepers of the Elements of Harmony must travel to their ancestral home to save both Equestria and the current inhabitants of the Northern Kingdom. But can they save the Kingdom before the North takes its toll on them?
Note: Does not take most events of Season 4, including the season finale into account.

Project X, the project to create the perfect Linx. After a horrible test failure, and catastrophic damage done to the Rosenthal research cradle they were on, Project X will have to survive on the harsh planet surface. But then, something happens. Something no one could prepare for, and now, the new badlands continent of 'Terra' is introduced to Equis, and is the 3rd largest continent on the planet. What will X do in this new, strange world? What will the world do with the strange new beings.

Warning, most of the stuff like this won't happen until later in the story.

I do not own ACFA or MLP:FiM. However, some characters within were created by me.

If you play the game and wish to recreate these, I used 1.20 for the regulation file. If you don't play, this is irrelevant to you.

Note: I have decided to go full fledged Armored Core with this one. One more chapter will be posted. After that, all further chapters will be posted on fan-fiction. Thank you for your time. I may eventually come back and finish with the original idea, but it is unlikely.

Spike's first day of school, and like any other day, friends are with him. Scootaloo is in the same grade, and the same class. Being new, or even different from others in class will always clause problems.

First day of school? Or maybe the last.

criticism wanted!!!!

He watched the pony walk into his cave. She wasn't like the rest of them, having a crown upon her head. The pony walked right up to him, looking right into the large blue iris of his eye. She didn't seem to be afraid of him, like the others, she seemed determined to have his audience, so he began to lift his massive white head off from the floor where it had rested for the last three hundred years....

Not long after Twilight and her friends formed the Council of Friendship, Twilight's life-long partner and assistant, Spike, finds himself increasingly estranged from her and the rest of his pony friends.
Amidst Spike's dilemma and struggle to find his place, strange recurring nightmares cause him to question his origin and identity.
Little does Spike know that those nightmares are merely the preface for events that could tear apart the world and himself.
Will Spike be able to remain true to his friends and himself, even when he discovers the dark secret behind his origin?

This story is just an idea that popped into my head and refused to let go.
It is an exploration of my head-canon as to Spike's history, and its possible (if somewhat exaggerated) outcomes.
I still have no idea where I'm going with this, but I hope you'll all enjoy it nonetheless!
Criticism and comments are strongly encouraged!

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are invited back home to Cloudsdale by their fathers. Neither pony has spoken to their parents in many years, since leaving the city of the Pegasi, and both left on bad terms. Now, they are called back to (hopefully) mend broken families and reunite kin. Some have more luck than others.

An ancient beast from the precambrian age is now hunting the citizens of, not only Equestria, but the whole world. Now ponies, changelings, Griffins, diamond dogs, and many other species must stand together to stop these underground beasts known as ... Graboids. Can they kill the colossal beasts before they metamorphosize or are all of the earth prey to these deadly worms.

Char was, from what he can remember, a normal Charizard who delivered mail with his best friend, a Dragonite named Drago. But when he wakes up with only the previous information as a Pegasus in a world inhabited by ponies. Things get out of hoof, from falling in love. to keeping his identity a secret.
