Some of the mercenaries from Mann Co start finding themselves in a world dominated by colorful ponies. must admit it is a nice place, the ponies are a very welcome species but slowly the mercenaries start to realize there is a reason why they were brought here and why all of them are somehow connected to the element bearers.
an ancient darkness is gaining strength and if they and their new pony friends cannot stop it, then both their worlds are in grave danger.

It's too.. what's the word? Sudden? OK so if Spy was a changing wouldn't that mean he would be considered a traitor and be send to prison right away?

I couldn't get past the Spy and Zebra part because it got boring quickly.

not necessarily, the invasion of Canterlot hasn't happened and from the looks of the episodes before that, I do not think the pony people know what a changeling is.
in my story, Zecora knows what a changeling is, but because Spy was a gentleman towards her, she decided to carefully trust him.

I am sorry to hear that. what was it that made it boring?
it will help me how I should write future stories.

I have a bit of a question about heavy
Is he going to have some sort of frendship with the medic?
I would explain what I mean more but I don't want to spoil the comics.

8687911

yes Heavy will have a friendship with Medic

What about the pyros?

8713697
they will appear in later chapters

KnightMysterio did a rewrite of Waking NIghtmares. Check it out.

Wow. Zecora sure knows a lot about changelings. Maybe there are changelings in her homeland?

Pyro’s gonna get a good kick out of this,

Huh, so Medic’s Medigun became part of his magic. That’ll be interesting once he learns how to make a shield, which is surprisingly borderline OP in MvM.

I like some of the changes, but I’m really looking forward to seeing Pyro’s reaction to Equestria.

So, does this mean that Scout is French-American?

8830623
yeah, doesn't mean he can a squat French

one thing i look forward to is when MANN co hires the mercs to protect their facilities
perhaps when they were off to save the crystal empire from sombra, the mercs break out into song, based on what their human counterparts are feeling

I actually prefer Pyro as a dragon instead of as a pony.

Friendly word of advice, link to that story. Please respond to this comment.

Ugh, Twilight’s lessons as Celestia’s successor-attack dog is really starting to pay off.

I won’t blame you.

Your story so far is very interesting and fun to read and I would love to see it continue! Also a Luna Eclipse chapter is a great idea.

This is a wonderful story so far and I hope to see more. Even though you did take a few liberties I personally believe they made the story more entertaining!

At least Cerberus has a toy to play with when he’s bored.

There better not come some pony over and asks for his expertise in flowers, for all he knows about flower is which one he should give to women. Spy scan the hut for a flower, spots some white roses and in a quick flash of green, those flowers decorate his flank. This form should keep him well hidden among the other ponies, and hopefully he won't discover what will make this disguise break while being in the town. "I will need to practice this skill of mine. When sure I can hold it without problem, I will keep an eye on that kid." Zecora smiles very satisfies of his answer.

Why is there two instances of the same thing?

That surname... Does this mean that Spy’s part of the Dark Brotherhood?

Hmm. I don’t think there’s much of a stigma about it in Equestria. I wonder how they’ll be when they find that out

Forgot that Spy decided to stay. Oh well.

I just realized that Scout and his two half-sisters can become French citizens.

The grammar here is lacking and it breaks the flow of the story. I keep getting caught on words that shouldn't be there and sentences that don't make sense.

I decided to go ahead and show you what the intro sequence should look like - this could be done by you, or an editor really easily.

She was running, running for her sanity, running for her very life. She sped down the dark hallways of her and her sister's once-called home, chased by the shadows of her alter ego that seemed to keep getting closer. A shadow shot out from the darkness as she ran, wrapping itself around her hind leg. She reacted immediately, shooting a burst of magic to dislodge it, shouting: "You won't claim me again!" as she resumed her mad dash. She’d already learned once before; never again will she give in to the shadows.

A shrieking laughter echoed through the hall in response, making her flinch both from the pain it caused her ears, but also from how much it seemed the owner enjoyed her torment.

"You don't have a choice!" The shadows gathered around a dark throne ahead, coalescing into a form as black as the heart within it, the eyes above holding nothing but malice. The surrounding darkness settled as the mare came fully into being, a mane and tail upon her gently swirling with a false sense of calm. The smirk on the mare’s face told a completely different story, opening for her to speak and revealing fangs as sharp as any blade, "No matter how much you try and deny it: I am who you really are."

She knew this mare intimately. After all, she had been her. But she now looked upon that visage and realised just what, truly, her subjects - and her sister - had faced, "No! I am not you!" She - Luna, Princess of the Night - cried up to the mare - Nightmare Moon, Queen of Nightmares. However, even to her ears, her voice sounded weak. Unsure.

The Nightmare laughed in the face of Luna’s false bravado, "Is that doubt I hear?" She giggled gleefully as the shadows began to crawl towards the Princess. "Did you truly believe I was gone? That those Elements of Harmony simply destroyed me? You may think you are rid of me, but I will always be a part of you!"

The shadows pounced, swallowing Luna. But, in an instant, the darkness was pierced by a light, a rainbow of colours appearing and forcing Nightmare Moon to step back.

"What?!" The darkness cried out, hundreds of eyes glaring at the sudden rescuers.

Above their victim stood ten glowing figures, several of which appeared to be Alicorns. One such Alicorn stepped toward Luna, extending a hoof, as if offering to help her stand. Luna somehow felt she could trust this unknown Alicorn, and began to reach to take the hoof. Before she could, however, Nightmare Moon burst into darkness and rushed forward to attack the interlopers.

"THE ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED"

Two of the Alicorn rescuers were immediately swallowed by the darkness, disappearing from sight and seemingly destroyed. The one that had reached out to Luna attempted to retaliate, but like his allies, is immediately swallowed, his light seeming to shatter. The darkness rushed forward unhalting, enveloping six others before they could react. The final would-be rescuer stood tall against the tide rushing towards them, seemingly looking straight at Luna as they are consumed. However, unlike the first three, their light remained. And within the darkness, five other lights also shined, outlasting, surviving.

Luna stared with hope in her eyes at the light within the darkness, before she too is consumed, her mind assaulted from all angles. For a horrific moment, she was broken, once again Nightmare Moon. She found herself before a purple unicorn, rearing up before smashing the six Elements of Harmony around her.

"THE SEALS ARE BROKEN AND THE DARKNESS IS FREE ONCE AGAIN"

Out from the darkness that surrounded her appeared several beings; a unicorn seemingly made out of shadows, but separate to the darkness he emerged from. A bug-like Alicorn with contempt and an evil smirk on her face. A far too familiar Draconequus with a playful grin hiding malice, and a centaur with large horns, rage coursing through him. Those four and others emerged from the darkness and began to destroy everything and anypony in their path. She wanted to stop it, but the darkness surrounding her gave her the sickly sense of enjoyment watching the world suffer.

"JOIN US, ALICORN OF DARKNESS"

thanks, I have corrected this part of the story

Thanks for the update, and happily awaiting the next part.

Thank you for another great chapter.

I've read the comic and I'm not going to like looking forward to what will happen.

When will the Pyros pop up?

Very good. Very, very good! You did the right thing. oh, by the way, did the two Pyros become one? Because if so then she is the first one to have a full soul, which is actually pretty ironic and... foreflight.exe has stops working due to an overload of data. please try to restart of shut down the program.

Time-Turner was actually pretty well written. good job.

if you make him blow up the school, that's fine by me. How about Soldier steals some of Demo's stickies for the job?

I can say that Luna can survive most small arms, but anything like a 50 cal or bigger can punch through her shields.

And somehow Cadance prevents the Wheat Wars.

we're probably not gonna find out, as to my knowledge her homeland wasn't shown, but with the reformation of Changelings, and the voodoo magic bit, she's bound to know more than most about different species
