Rainbow Dash and Applejack went to far. I barely survive their last prank. Now the Elements are all begging me to be their friend again.
I only have two friends left. Ditzy Doo and... The Darkness. It promises to never hurt me. It treats me like I'm its best friend.
I can feel myself slowly falling apart.

After a reaper attack the mane six use the Elements of Harmony to save their world, but are lost to the stars for their effort. Now, nearly 51,000 years later they are awoken by Shepard to harsh universe on the edge of destruction.
Takes place after season 4.
Teen for now may bump it up later.

I decided that short stories are easier to write than long novels so I will write some short stories that I have thought about while writing "The Elements of The Hero" that won't work in the sense of the story, so this will be my first completed story. Hope you enjoy!

Story Description:
Big Mac wanders through the war-torn ruins of what was once his, to find a changeling, who he helps.

Only when a insane unicorn looking for blood comes that this new "Friendship" will be put to the test.

Did you ever wonder what would've happened if Discord turned down Tirek's offer? Well, wonder no more!

In the Equestria region, a young researcher named Twilight begins the next phase of her studies, only to be thrust into a life she didn't expect or want.

Before Twilight and the return of both Princess Luna and the elements of harmony there was just Princess Celestia and her niece Cadence, when a changeling spy approaches the princess speaking of an upcoming attack on Canterlot she has no choice but to plan a defence, but her royal guard aren't trained to fight off Changelings, in fact Equestria hadn't seen changelings for over a hundred years.

The princess decides that now is the time to unleash her secret weapon, eight hired mercenaries that she had collected from around the know lands of Equestria and beyond, plus the new changeling Spy. Hopefully they won't fail in their first real mission.

((This is pretty much what would happen if the tf2 mercs were born in the mlp universe, so things are probably going to be a little different about them, you have been warned. Takes place a few years before the return of Nightmare Moon))
((This story is not related to my other tf2 x mlp crossovers, it's just an idea that I had))

Gale is a Cloudsdale-born Canterlot pony. His mother, a pegasus called Gust, insisted that Gale had to be born in Cloudsdale to "feel the real wind in his wings." Nevertheless, she moved in with Gale’s father, Goldstein, a Canterlot aristocrat. Despite their residence being in the capitol, Gale still frequently visited his family in Cloudsdale, went to Junior Speedsters and lived the life of a normal young Cloudsdale pegasus. However, his father tried to make him more like himself – high-class.
Young Gale didn’t like being tied down with rules like that – like most young pegasi, he yearned for wind in his wings and a vast sky to fly through. This led to some problems with Gale’s father, naturally. Gale’s mother – a free spirit herself – supported her son instead.
As Gale got older, he – like most of his peers – wished to be admitted to the Wonderbolts. While a competent flier, he wasn’t anything extra. Nevertheless, he tried hard, trained and pushed himself to the limit. He even moved back to Cloudsdale so he could devote all his free time to practice.
During the Wonderbolt’s try-outs – a large lap through and around Cloudsdale – everything changed. At first, Gale’s agility and hours of training won him the first spot, but he soon found himself competing against a faster, stronger opponent, Blaze. Gale pushed himself like he never did, almost reaching supersonic speed. However, the track was mainly plotted with agility in mind. In a sharp turn, Gale lost control and crashed to a building.
The young pegasus was hurt during the accident. Not only he broke his wing, but he lost his left eye. His wing healed, but not perfectly. Coupled with the eye injury, Gale was shamed and broken. He knew he could never make it into the Wonderbolts now.
The pegasuse moved back to Canterlot, pondering the meaning of his life. He was rescued from his depression by his old schoolmate, Fleur. The pony shared his dream of joining the Royal Guard and insisted Gale would be a welcome addition as well. Reluctantly, Gale agreed.
The two friends trained together, quickly rekindling the almost-forgotten friendship of their youth. Eventually, they both got admitted, being mistaken for brothers at times.
Even with a promising career in the Guard, Gale sometimes still finds himself thinking what life could have been were it not for his injury.
Could he have been a Wonderbolt?

Would he have won the race?

But more importantly, would Fleur still become his best friend?

Terra Jaclyn is just a normal witch, whose dream of opening a magic shop has finally come true. Leaving her painful past behind, she travels to Equestria and sets up in the sleepy little town of Ponyville, but, the past isn't something that ever really goes away.

I'd like to thank m2pt5 and DuskShadowBrony for their working editing this story. They both do excellent work!
