A Spin-Of of Legendbringer's Fall of Starfleet: Rebirth of Friendship and a Deconstruction of Dakari-King-Mykan's Friendship Is Failure
At the peak of the War Against Conquest, Shining Armour is taken from the Crystal Warfront along with his baby daughter.
Captured by a cult preparing to resurrect the loathed usurper, Grand Ruler Celesto, he comes across various ponies he knows, either personally or by reputation.
With little good to say about any of them.
So begins a recollection of the deeper tales of friendship, of those it changed and those it didn't.
And as the cult steadily works towards its goal, Shining Armour and Flurry Heart still hold out hope.
For this is Equestria.
Where Friendship Prevails.
May explore dark themes such as violence self-harm and sexual harassment. Also may include some mention of sex or innuendo.

Fall of Starfleet: Rebirth of Friendship
Very nice work as always!
Aversion? What's he doing here?
9809911
Thanks.
No, no, it's a tactic. The Crystal Aversion is a defence spell as we see.
Twice o a day, didn't expect that from you but nice nevertheless! I noticed you used the same song twice, on purpose?
9809928
You're welcome and I know, why else the troll face? It was a joke. And it appears Fimfiction is on the fritz again, didn't notify me about the reply
9809931
I've had this written a while ago, I was just uncertain about actually presenting it.
Where? It might have been a mistake.
9809942
I see.
“Thank you...Miss Rarity...I’ll be in tomorrow.”
A lilting tune her mother always used to sing to her as a foal hummed from Rarity’s closed smile as she busied herself applying some finishing touches to some embroidered lace, stepping back to admire the finished result.
Those two have the same
9809943
Ah right. Thanks.
I agree, if you want a good example of a respecting gentleman in the elite, Fancypants is the best!
9809945
You're welcome!
Great job!
Glad to hear things are going well for you and nice work. Your "gears", a good joke for me: If a machine goes slow, my father always jokes to "use the crank". Though it's ironic, given back then the crank was very reliable and almost everything was started with it, cars being one of the best examples
9976846
Thanks.
Exactly.
So what did you think of the chapter and characters?
Can you spot two Spongebob references?
9978003
Must have overlooked them, due to to the length but I liked everything. Though, Marten Pine. I could swear I heard that before, but can't remember where
9978009
Oh yeah, I recommended that name on one of the PMs (Though with the names switched).
Still, this is connected to Legendbringer's headcanon so no worries.
Look through. See if you can spot them. One's early on, the other's near the end.
9979421
Okay. And I remember now, it was Lily's dad
9983623
Thanks.
Doesn't bother me. It's an exercise in deconstruction.
9984306
It's alright.
Feel free to put the word out if you think it'll help.
9984443
Up to you, really.
Still, considering it's a deconstruction fic of a certain author's work...
Might be best to just be discreet and see how this pans out.
NIce work! And nice cameo of Patch too!
Another great chapter. Happy Snildarfest from Australia!
10003393
Thanks.
Not sure what that means but thanks.
10002700
A small one. Just about which actors I really like.
10004844
A good one nevertheless
10004843 In the episode "The Hearth's Warming Club", Snildarfest is mentioned as the yak equivalent of Heath's Warming, as explained in this clip by Yona:
https://youtu.be/OGzMa3_6mIM
I chose ito say it instead of "Happy Heath's Warming" to mix things up a bit, and because Yona is my favourite of the Student Six.
10005221
I'm a fan of the fandom, so to speak.
Ah right.
Fair enough.
Sorry, I don't really watch the show.
But thanks anyway.
10005198
Thanks for the critique. I'll keep this in mind.
I have ideas for Starlight.
But you're probably right, I should build up Holly a bit more here.
It's based off Karliah from Skyrim but I should still focus on the character more.
Yeah, Talon is just such a terrible non-contributer that not even Neo-Starfleet can stomach him long.
Love this story!
10239198
Thanks. Good to know.
Hey, Patch.
I noticed that this is canceled.
How come?
It was just getting good.
11204353
Oh, I made a post about it. Here.
To be honest, I'm still debating over it.
11204552 Okay.
I just read it (better late than never, no?), and your reasons are valid ones, hun.
These things just happen now and then.
It's still (to me) a good story, but it's quite understandable that you're not feeling it anymore.
And that's understandable, too.
It describes how interchangeable these characters like Mister Stash of the original are. They are so lazy, hypocritical, and mean-spirited.
Describes the reaction of the original Friendship is Failure.
