"The first time I came back, I thought it was a miracle. By the fifth or sixth time, I knew it was a curse."

Death is a reasonable fear, but it is also a constant reassurance. A promise that no matter how bad things get, they will one day end.

That promise was broken, leaving Rainbow Dash to pay the cost.

A very last minute entry for the 2024 SciFi Contest III.

Special thanks to ScreamQueen and Rb for prereading and valuable feedback.

General content warning: Some depictions of blood, death, and debilitating injuries, but no graphic descriptions. Some existential horror.

Teenager Spike Drake died while saving two young girls from an attacker, only to find himself reincarnated into a world of swords and magic. Though he remembers his life and knowledge of Earth, he found himself in the body of a 10-year-old boy, one that was imprisoned for 1,500 years. However, a beautiful young girl named Twilight Sparkle from the Canterlot Sacred Sword and Divine Magic Academy makes a sworn oath to protect him. Bewildered and confused, Spike discovers he’s enrolling to the Canterlot Sacred Sword and Divine Magic Academy, in hopes to adapt to his super powerful stats and boosts, and to this new lifestyle that he hopes to call home.

This is based off of the anime “Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World” and “The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy,” but with some stuff based off of Xenoblade Chronicles, Kingdom Hearts and Power Rangers Mystic Force.

The RMS Queen Mary. At one time she was one of the most famous ocean liners in the world, being in service from 1936-1967, having carried 2,112,000 passengers over 3,792,227 miles, and serving in WW2 as a troopship, and even surviving nearly being capsized by a rogue wave in 1942. She'd seen so much during her career, but by 1967, passenger numbers were falling due to jet travel becoming widespread, operating costs were skyrocketing, and with heavy hearts, the Cunard Line announced that they were retiring the Queen Mary, but that her fate wouldn't be the scrapyard. Instead, she was going to be moored in the city of Long Beach, California as a hotel and floating museum. She left Southampton for the last time on October 31st, 1967, and reached Long Beach on December 9th, and after all of her passengers and crew had disembarked, the conversion work of preparing the ship to become a hotel and museum was about to begin, but the ship's Soul had other ideas

For the Soul of the Queen Mary had seen the future, and she knew what her ship's fate would be if she didn't act. She would be nearly wholly gutted below R-Deck, almost all of her machinery would be removed for a useless sea life museum that would close within 10 years, all of her 2nd Class, 3rd Class, and Crew Cabins, along with almost all spaces on these decks would be removed, and her new owners would run her ship into the ground, prioritizing profits over taking care of her, allowing her to fall into deplorable shape for decades. Not wanting this to be her ship's fate, the Queen Mary's Soul took control over the now empty, but still nearly fully-intact ship, fired up her boilers, engines, and other machinery, got her propellers spinning, and after yanking her ship clear of the dock she was moored to, damaging both it and the dock in the process, the Soul of the Queen Mary made for the wide open Pacific Ocean. Her destination? A place she'd heard whispered about during her ship's career; Equestria. A land of peace, harmony, Ponies, and hopefully in need of an ocean liner. With the owners, and various naval assets in hot pursuit of the fugitive ocean liner, the Queen Mary makes a desperate dash for the portal to Equestria, located in the Bermuda Triangle, her only hope of freedom.

This story is the result of an idea that I couldn't get out of my head after doing lengthy studies of the RMS Queen Mary, and noting that this site has a distinct lack of any stories related to the OG ocean liners that aren't the Titanic, so I decided to change that. This story would be rated "E", but due to a number of instances of the use of profanity throughout, it must be rated "T" instead. Other than this, I really hope that you enjoy this story, as well as its very unique twist-ending

Rainbow Blitz meets Scootaloo and takes care of her during the Zombie Apocalypse.

What will decide their fate? Where will they go? How will they survive?

(Rainbow Dash is Rule 63fied. Characters are all Anthromorphized. Also, this was inspired by The Walking Dead Telltale Series.)

A tale of events that happen after a terrible storm.

Commissioned by Anon

When Twilight is sent to Amethyst Harbor to prepare for the Summer Sun Celebration by Princess Celestia to meet up with her other student Sunset Shimmer, Twilight is less than happy that her warnings about Nightmare Moon are being ignored. When Nightmare Moon finally reveals herself, Twilight and Sunset find themselves being assisted by two stunt flyers of the Wonderbolts, an artist and a gardener pony.

One fateful day a simple man is ripped from his comfortable bed and is swung across realities into a world not his own and a body eerily familiar to him.

He now has the eldritch powers of a certain pink earth pony. What will he do with said power? Only time will tell.

The shitposting has been doubled!

Kennedy goes to Equestria after being WACKED by the CIA.
Or…
How Starlight Glimmer got some very bad ideas on how to create her utopia.

This is a fun little story I thought up one day at work after looking at a silly little picture.
Then I added Starlight Glimmer, because it was fun. Then I added Pinkie Pie, because it was fun.
In the end I made what I found to be a silly little comedy story. So that's what this story is, a silly little comedy story.

Really the thanks go to 'Arareroll' for making the image that inspired me in the first place, and for letting me use it as a cover art.

This story is a sequel to Equestria Ninja Girls: Shell Shock

The Ninja Turtles and Rainbooms help the half-Atlantean, Aquaman, to find the lost, ancient artifact of Atlantis that could help him dethrone his half-brother, King Orm, who leads the underwater kingdom of Atlantis and seeks to unite the seven underwater kingdoms against the surface world that will lead to war and bloodshed.
