In the modern era, it has become common for foreigners to mock Equestria, seeing the pony nation as weak, naive, unwilling to commit to hard decisions. More belligerent neighbors often view the ponies as easy prey or targets, to have their magic stolen, to be devoured and pillaged, or conquered as a ready supply of slaves.

It was not always thus. In ages past, Equestria was a land of heroes and legends, of darkness and bloodshed. In time, the princesses learned to temper strength with mercy, power with forbearance, and righteous conviction with benevolence.

But now, a thousand years after the younger princess was banished to the moon, the long peace is drawing to a close. Forces both within and without Equestria awaken, seeing a nation weak and easily toppled. Seeing a people grown fat on peace and luxury, who have long forgotten the hardships of war and conflict, or the glory of bloodshed.

Woe betide to all who come to Equestria with ill intent. For in all these long years of peace, the Princess of the Sun has never forgotten the lessons of war, and her eyes watch over her beloved subjects with not only patience and understanding, but an implicit promise of protection.

The time will come soon, when those who would do Celestia's Little Ponies wrong will come to learn... That even an Empire of Mercy is still paved upon the bones of its enemies.

Alternate universe story based on two main principals: First, that Rainbow Dash is taken in as Celestia's student in addition to Twilight. Second, that the threats to Equestria are both larger in magnitude, but also countered by a more competent and militarized Equestria.

It is also somewhat based on my love of story threads that are disconnected but still intersect. The continuity will not really have a single group of main characters (Though it will start with mostly Rainbow Dash and Celestia), but rather a number of different story threads playing out simultaneously across the world. I have plans for the Mane Six, Celestia, Luna, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and Scootaloo at the least.

I will be posting every 28 days on saturday, at least for the time being. Story is in present tense, third person. Genre will kinda be all over the place, parts of the story will include the whole spectrum from war story to slice of life to drama to who knows what else.

This story is a sequel to The Great Retreat

After the retreat back to the border months prior, Trimmel spent months meticulously creating his plan for a second invasion of Equestria. With the approval of Queen Chrysalis, the Changelings once against advance into Equestria.

The Heer will not fail this time, this time, they will be victorious; this time, they will break the ponies.

The Book of Lore is an old series of articles for the game Them's Fightin' Herds, which are considered quasi-canon unless overridden by the story, as some parts have been.

Otherwise they are a good source of lore and character development for the first six characters and their native culture: but there are no entries for Shanty, Stronghoof, Texas, or Baihe.

This is my attempt to write a chapter for Shanty using parts of her Character page background from the official site, unpublished lore from devs talking on the Discord, and in-game lines and information.

This is not a crossover story with MLP.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To be fully clear, the writing from her Character page background appears in the first section only and is replicated in its entirety in Author's Notes.

Shanty has a heavy Jamaican dialect, speaking bilingually between English and Jamaican Patois, so I tried to work that into the dialogue for her and other goats: I have no personal experience with that dialect, so please tell me if I handled it incorrectly.

I attempted to mimic the format that the Oleander, Tianhuo, and Pom chapters share with present tense, and the third person internal monologue that every chapter other than Pom's uses.

What will you do if you remember your past life? Well... a unicorn stallion named Teddy (soft inside like a teddy bear) decides to become a hero! Why not? (I don’t know English, please don’t scold me too much for grammatical errors, thank you in advance for your understanding :3 regarding the cover, I wanted to say that the art does not belong to me)

This story is a sequel to The Omnitrix Hero

A month after defeating Shadow and his Negative Ten, Flash is still getting used to his new Ultimatrix. Other than that, things seem to be going well. At least until a hole opens in the sky.

Just when Flash thought he could take it easy, he finds himself meeting another teen with an alien watch. And as threats from old enemies make themselves known, the two must come together in order to save their worlds.

It's the battle of the millennium, with everything they love on the line.
