This story is a sequel to Ten Little Ponies

It has been ten years since the events of "Ten Little Ponies" and state Equestria has begun to decay. Multiple different factions have begun springing up around the land plotting to take control of the weakened government. Very few remain loyal to what originally was Equestria. However, there is one organization that is holding everything in the balance.

The Pony Core, created by Shining Armor, is an organization that operates from the Crystal Empire. There, different trained assassins and mercenaries have defected from their nations to help keep the peace in Equestria or what's left of it. Along with the help of some loyal to the crown, they target high profile individuals and take them out before they are able to take control. So far, it has succeed...until now.

It appears that a murderous mole is operating inside the core and is causing the assassins to betray one another. With the entire fate of Equestria in the balance, can the true members of the core stop this mole and keep the peace before the opposing groups fight for control?

Inspired by Roosterteeth's Eleven Little Roosters (Mature Conent Warning!)

Ten friends gathered for a large party in Twilight Sparkle's new castle. However, the fun is soon ruined as it is revealed that one of them is a crazy killer. Trapped in the Castle's magical force field and without guards for protection, then ten must try to outwit and survive the killer before every last one of them dies.

Based on Roosterteeth's "Ten Little Roosters" Which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFBAiZGMQD0&list=RDUFBAiZGMQD0

*DISCLAIMER* The videos would be for Mature audiences or those who like Roosterteeth and don't care

Roosterteeth's Ten Little Roosters was based on "Ten Little Indians" by Agatha Christie (Thanks to Hidden Scorpious XI for pointing that out) however, I was most inspired to write this by the aforementioned video due to the fact that I was not exposed to the novel.

The story is different though so as to limit similarities. The poem is however the same in some places due to format and lack of a better rhyme. Also at points the story will share similarities but I will keep them at a minimum.

NOTE: The gore tag is a precaution. The deaths will only be described in short detail and not a gratuitous explanation. I just don't want anyone freaking out. However, it is applicable once again for the video.

P.S.: For those who think they have solved the mystery. I have planned out the entire story and the order already. So if you end up not guessing correctly, I wasn't cheating. Also, I am writing using my own form of "Limited Omniscience" meaning, I write what characters would infer of one another. Hopefully that will clear up any confusion with any of the upcoming reveals.

Based on the beloved tale by Charles Dickens, This is a Christmas Carol pony style!

Consumed with herself and her definition of success, Rarity spends her holidays completely shut off from others. However when three spirits decide to pay her a visit, Rarity learns that her way might not be the best way to spend the holidays.

NOTE: I am writing this from memory, not the actual story. While they are similar some things might be added or taken out depending on the situation. I do not own A Christmas Carol.

One Hearts and Hooves day, Rarity is helping Twilight test a new transformation spell that ends up with her becoming a giant dragon. After being chased away by the frightened citizens of Ponyville, Rarity flees to the mountains. Spike then has to set out on a journey in order to save the girl of his dreams.

EDIT: I went back into the story and fixed a bit of proof reading errors and I touched on some of the issues with dialogue that Macho Madness brought up. Overall the story is the same but some of the character interactions are a bit different if you want to check it out. Also, for some reason, and only Macho seemed to notice, the indentation is really weird and for some reason I can't fix.

It didn't take long for the master of chaos to go back to his evil ways. After being encased in stone for many months Discord is plotting revenge. When Chrysalis frees him from his tomb they team up and they are unstoppable. They plan to take over all of Equestria spreading chaos and doom all around. Will the elements be enough to stop these villains? Can the main six defeat them? Will Luna be there for a crisis? (Answer for that last one, yes)

NOTE: I just finished editing this story as I have now gained a few more skills in writing. I originally wasn't going to do this but the first few chapters were ROUGH. Like, hard to read, rough. So I fixed those and I decided to touch up the other chapters as well. It will be minor changes, nothing too drastic, but it should help the story flow better. However, some will still be able to tell that this is my first story. I hope you enjoy the changes anyways.
