[Third Person] Alternating Perspectives Equisverse β

A few short days ago, Vinyl, Lyra, and their friend Sherbert freed an ancient immortal being from his prison deep beneath the northern ice. Fortunately, Chemical Fire turned out to be quite friendly only wanting to spend time with Vinyl, whom he sees as an older sister, and play harmless games with friends.

Unfortunately, Chem was not the only one of his kind on Equis, and very few of his kin are peaceful beings. Vinyl, Lyra, and Chem quickly caught the attention of Hastur the Unspeakable, a Great Old One intent on ending all life on Equis as part of a business deal.

Thanks in part to Hastur’s greed, Chem’s cunning, and Lyra’s attempts to break a curse, the fate of Equestria now rests on a twisted parody of one of Chem’s games constructed by Hastur himself. This game is no more simulation. This game takes place in another world, one that is quite real. And the end of Equis is Hastur’s chosen prize.

Book three of the Equisverse: Season two.

This story is a sequel to Cataclysm

First Person Alternating Perspectives [Equisverse Era 1]

This story is a sequel to Cataclysm. It is not required you read Cataclysm before picking up Catalyst (Though it is recommended). This story is technically a crossover, but the nonFIM material is pretty much completely lacking lore. Aside from the physical setting all alien lore is of my creation and contained within the story.

The Dark God, Dawn, had been defeated. Helpless, he lay before his mother and the Alicorn Princesses, who granted him one chance to prove he deserved mercy despite his unfathomable and foolish cruelty. He used that one chance to trick Twilight Sparkle into banishing herself to another universe. The same universe the liar claimed to have banished Twilight’s parents to, long long ago.

With nothing but the fur on her skin to her name, Twilight must survive long enough to be rescued by her friends, whom she is absolutely certain will do everything in their power to get her home. With little else to do Twilight sets out to find safety, friends, and fate willing, the biological parents she only recently learned she has.

After all, every adopted child desires to meet their birth parents at some point in their lives. And well, if Starswirl and Clover are truly alive and well within this universe as Dawn claimed...

This story takes place in the Beta Equisverse Timeline. No storyline beyond that of The Bridesmaids, Horseshoes, Dinner at Ravenloft, Nightmare: An Equestrian Tragedy, The Queen is Dead, All Hail the Queen, Lyra-7%, Exile’s Journey, and Cataclysm is canon to this timeline. However, foundational concepts such as thaumaturgic current from other works of mine do apply.

First Person Alternating Prespectives [Equisverse Era 1]

Over the last three years, Equestria's heroes have performed great deeds. The era of threats and dangers seemed to slowly fade as obstacle after obstacle fell away and new assets fell into Equestria hooves. Unfortunately, by chance, these same acts have forced the hands of Equestria’s greatest foe.

Equestria’s heroes would be horrified to know their actions have only angered Dawn, the dark god, the great tormenter, and master of Tartarus and its Demons. By their actions, the Emperor of Prance and Queen Jiila were revived, and so Dusk’s godly mantle is now beyond Dawn’s reach. Fearing that his sister may somehow be reborn and tell the Elder Gods that it was her brother who murdered her, Dawn must strike quickly to survive.

He must have more power, enough to resist all who have the power to destroy him. Dawn knows of one source of quick and cheap power. Tormented mortal souls.

Can Equestria’s heroes overcome Armageddon itself?

For my Fan’s convenience: This story serves to tie the Alpha and Beta universes together. That’s right. EVERYTHING is canon. Sorry.

[Third Person] Alternating Perspectives

In a world shaped by the powers of magic and steam, where every nation is ruled by immortal god-kings and god-queens, there is an era of peace never before experienced by mortals and immortals alike. People grow, live, and die all without ever being attacked by bandits. Major wars are a thing of the past, with only small local skirmishes occurring in more primitive sections of the world. International trade allowed wizards and engineers to tame the world so all may experience a little luxury.

To many, life couldn’t possibly be any better. For those living on the far northern borders of Equestria, that peaceful world is but a fantasy. In the northlands, wild animals still roam the woods, even venturing into cities and towns. Farmers whisper of crop-destroying monsters lurking in the dark. Local sheriffs keep a wary eye on the sky, ever watchful for the first sign of a griffon hunting party. Wizards regularly ward the area around local communities, fearing the dark magic cast within these lands long ago might one-day resurface.

This is the world Tractor Pull grew up in. This is the world the young stallion longs to escape. To the southern lands of peace and plenty. All he needs is a chance. A chance which unknowingly comes to him when he meets a mare in a snowbank one frigid winter’s night.

(This is a summary/refresher/primer of my AU’s first set of stories. It’s an excellent place for people to jump onto the series, and also contains new information for old readers. Sherbert and her life will also feature in the next story.)

Sherbert von Ponyville, the daughter of Scootaloo and Azur Lily, has never been the best student. She has never been popular, or well liked, or even into sports or other school activities. Outside her family, Sherbert has nopony she would call her friend. Peers yes, acquaintances certainly, but no real friends. She’d rather be out freerunning and cloud walking than chatting with others her own age.

Sherbert isn’t happy with the lack of real friends in her life. She has decided to fix that. She’s got a plan to remake herself into somepony amazing so she can befriend the coolest ponies she knows of. To get started she must live in Neighpone for a few years.

To get to live in Neighpone, she must join the Equestrian-Neighponese Exchange Program. To Join the Program, she must have at least a 3.2 GPA. To get that 3.2, she needs to write the greatest history report of all time!

Unfortunately, Uncle Sky refused to let her borrow a time machine so she has to do it the boring way.

This, Ladies and Gentlecolts, is her report.
