Rainbow Dash flies east.

I am Starswirl the Bearded and my story does not start in Equestria. Many have heard the rumor that I am from a foreign land. This is but the smallest part of the truth, for I was not born a pony but on another world, and brought here by Princess Celestia on a mission to save my race. I was born a human, in the year of my people 1452, and my name was Leonardo daVinci.

It is seventy-five years after the HLF and human intelligence services defeated the pony invasion of Earth. Celestia is a prisoner of mankind, reduced to being a source of magical blood used to make ponification potion. Ponification has become the punishment for even minor crimes. Yes, humanity stands triumphant. So why are the HLF and the PER back? Is Celestia really so powerless? Does she have a plan? Or has the loss of Equestria and all that she loves simply driven her mad?

This story is a sequel to Chatoyance's Conversion Bureau story Brand New Universe: Chapter 7 - Mankind Triumphant - please read it before reading this one. When I first read Mankind Triumphant it shook me to the bone. It scared me, it kept me awake, it affected me. When she invited others to submit stories around her New Universe scenarios, I knew I could not refuse. I felt this story calling to me. Resistance was futile. So here it is. BTW I have Chatoyance's permission, for which I am very grateful indeed!

Time Crescent adores cookies, but this librarian has no skill at baking. In an attempt to improve her skill without revealing this particular flaw, she attempts to sneak into the kitchen to practice. As with all things baking related, said things don't go according to plan.

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown."  The return of Luna to Equestria is a great joy to Celestia, but she wonders if Luna is ready to resume her place, and how well she will be accepted by Equestrian society.  Also, all is not well in Equestria itself, as ponies including Twilight Sparkle are having strange dreams and magic is beginning to go haywire.  Can the Princesses' newfound happiness survive the stress of the coming clash of universes they both feel is imminent?

Pinkie Pie is visited by a strange customer whilst working at Sugarcube Corner. Hilarity ensues.

Star Swirl the Bearded is lost. Very, very lost. He was certain the world was round -- or at least a hemisphere -- and not, as it now appears to be, flat and riding on the backs of four elephants, themselves riding on the back of a massive turtle, swimming through the vast expanses of space.

He's going to need a lot of magical help to get home, and the Disc is going to need help to deal with the strange creatures that followed him through from his home world - creatures whose icy nature threatens to bring about the Apocralypse.

Fortunately, the first person he meets is a wizard. He even has "Wizzard" written on his hat...

Now has a sequel!

Pinkie Pie's unrequited love for Rainbow Dash reaches crisis point as she fears the party in her heart has at long last come to an end.

What if Twilight and Trixie were both zeppelins who were in love? At last this age-old question has been answered!
