Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash Find themselves in trouble, with their lives on the line. Will they get out alive?

Hey guys, this is my first pony fic. However, I do take constructive criticism well. I can only get better if I know what I'm doing wrong.

In the wake of Chrysalis' failed invasion, a different hive breaks tradition and steps into the light to open relations with Equestria. The ever eager scholar, Twilight Sparkle, uses this truce as the perfect opportunity to learn more about this enigmatic race. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, she will learn all there is to know about what it means to be a changeling.

But will Twilight lose herself in the hive, or will she regain what she has lost? Only time will tell.

It has been several months since the disappearance of Twilight Sparkle..

One night, after watching her sister raise the Moon and set the heavens alight, Princess Celestia begins to bed down for the night, only to be interrupted by portal forming in her room. From out of the portal comes none other than Twilight Sparkle, garbed in strange armor.

Princess Celestia, along with Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor, are overjoyed by the Element of Magic's return, but are justifiably curious as to where she had been and what she had been doing. And so, Twilight begins her tale. A tale of survival against impossible odds. A tale of a people fighting for the most basic right of all sentient beings. The right to exist.

(Warning to new readers, the comments are chock full of spoilers.)

Rainbow Dash's dad, Blue Streak, has been lonely and sad ever since Firefly passed away. Rainbow has tried her best to cheer him up, but to no avail. On her latest visit, she finds out that her dad has been seeing someone and is now happier than ever. She couldn't be happier for him, until she found out who it was.

Writing (mostly) done by me. Special thanks to him for being awesome.

A terrible new day rises when a tragedy, foreseen only by Celestia but preventable by none, occurs right in the middle of Canterlot, turning Twilight Sparkle's world upside-down. Now, all of Equestria is looking to her to hold the broken nation together, all while she tries to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

A/N: Yes, the title was based of the Dragonforce song of the same name, you may stop postulating about it now.

A living meteor has fallen, bringing the threat of Equestria's destruction. The Elements of Harmony have broken, following Rainbow Dash's ultimate sacrifice to protect her friends, and they scramble to solve the mystery while the world prepares for war. Moving forward is hard with Rainbow Dash dead.

But peace in the world beyond proves elusive to Rainbow, and she'll never let her friends down when they need her. Not even death will stop her from coming back.

Currently undergoing rewrites on a semi-regular basis, please check recent blogs or the 'current projects' module on my user page for details.

I just put the two together

Twilight has spent the last two decades fighting against the dark forces which threaten the peaceful kingdom of Equestria. As a Royal Alicorn Princess, she has no choice in the matter. She is the greatest magician Equestria has ever known, but it has all come at a cost, both physically and mentally. She resents her friends for the happy, carefree lives they've been able to lead. Somepony will have to breach her walls of isolation and sorrow before she does something foolish.

Twilight is about to have her hooves full. Who is this newcomer on the edge of town? AND WHY DOES STUFF KEEP BLOWING UP OVER THERE!? What is with the strange shifting star patterns high above? Join Twilight and friends as they discover that a whole new universe of alien life lies out among the stars. They make new friends and acquire new power. But there will be suffering also, for some things the universe holds are not for the faint of heart.

Because war..... war never changes..... no matter where you are.

If you like Halo AND MLP:FIM you may wanna keep reading

Events in this story take place after the events of Halo 4 Spartan Ops, but before Twilight becomes an Alicorn.

(please note, im juggling a few things, so this story may take me a while. But i figured, what the hay? how else can i spend those free hours in my week?)

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP:FIM or Halo and this story is not an official continuation for either franchise. The real owners are Hasbro, Bungie, Microsoft Studios, and 343 Industries. Give them due credit for the characters, locations, and starships they created.

(Status Update 12/29/2014): Sequel status in doubt. Although considering renaming the sequel based on the name of a song from the band Muse and the song itself (source of some inspiration) I'll let you guys guess in the comments page below the sequel what song inspired me to give the sequel more time and basically, you know, give it a chance. :)

Twilight Sparkle, in an attempt to make trips to Canterlot quicker, tries to create a magical doorway. However the doorway leads to the bedroom of a very surprised human on Earth. Expect some romance, light comedy, tears and coffee.
