Vinyl Scratch was a pony who had it all; perfect life, a loving family and a talent for playing piano. Alas that all changed one fateful night when she was attacked by a vampire!
She awoke a new mare! So she travelled across equestria, being careful not to stay in one place too long as she hunted for her revenge and she continued to do that for over one hundred years!
Until she met Octavia Melody, a young cellist who makes Vinyl feel a way that she's never felt before. Maybe she's finally found her reason to stop running!

Summoned to Canterlot by Royal command to attend Princess Celestia's School for Unicorns, Starjumper Astra is determined to get through the year of study without the secret of exactly what he is being exposed.

He has good reason to keep it a secret. The product of a forbidden marriage of unicorn and thestral, Starjumper is the only living Lykan in the entire world, a pony that is unicorn by day and thestral by night. The thestrals of the Nightlands call him The Cursed One, and there is nothing in the world they want more than to see him dead. If that isn't bad enough, pony folklore has a very dim view of Lykans, labelling them as bloodthirsty, savage monsters, so Starjumper's life is ruled by the secrets that he must keep. Secrets that keep him apart from other ponies, living a life of enforced solitude, a life ruled by the clock that warns him when sunrise and sunset are coming.

All he wants is to be left alone. All he wants is to study magic in peace, get through his year in Canterlot, and then move on. But a quiet, peaceful, uneventful life isn't easy in Canterlot when he finds himself tutoring the rich daughter of the socialite Fancy Pants for living money, who just happens to be a once in a generation magical prodigy with a few secrets of her own. He also runs afoul of one of the most powerful unicorn socialites in Canterlot, that holds a burning prejudice against his half-thestral heritage.

And if all that still wasn't bad enough, he also just happens to be the subject of an ancient prophecy that says that he's one of three ponies that are destined to save Equestria.

Or destroy it.

5 mares confess their feelings to Twilight and now she faces a tough decision on which mare she wants to court her. The problem, 3 are princesses, 1 is her friend, and the other is a wonderbolt. For Twilight, this will be the toughest decision of her life.

I have had this idea in my head for a while and I wanted to share it. You get to say who she picks, all you have to do is leave a comment on which of the 5 mares you want Twilight to pick, and tell me why. The mare with the most votes will be the one that Twilight picks.

Wasn't able to put Rainbow dash's tag but she is in the story. And no Shining Armour does not exist in this story.

Equestria. A world of magic and monsters. A world of love and hate. Of good and evil. The line between them should be clear. Black and white. Yet when a mysterious young colt with a strange secret appears with new warnings, will Twilight and her friends determine which side he's on, or will they discover just how blurred the line can be?

Equestria is growing, and magical savant Twilight Sparkle is disgusted by the crime and corruption this change has brought. Her life is changed forever when she discovers the Death Note, a notebook with inexplicable and deadly powers. She uses this book to pass judgement on those she deems unworthy of life, aiming to create a perfect world free of crime. But when the two Princesses put their best pony on the case, a mysterious detective known only as L, a psychological game of cat and mouse erupts between the two.

This is not the Equestria you know. This will not be the Mane 6 that you love. Changelings... will be about the same.

Join me in this Cross-over/Alternate tale of Equestria that merged with the world of the anime/manga -Claymore-.

***********

Author's Notes: Surprisingly, this crossover/alt-world hasn't been done before. At least, not that I've come across. Much like other fusion stories out there, characters from the source will be subbed by characters from MLP. I won't say this is a *direct* retelling of Claymore with Ponies, but it'll be relatively close. Also, on a legal note, both MLP and Claymore are copyright of their respective holders and this fan-fiction is made solely for entertainment purposes only!

-Also, first fanfic EVER, so by all means, feel free to be brutally honest & critical and if I need to correct something grammatically (no one's perfect), please let me know which part in the comments. Thank you much and hope you enjoy the story.

-Characters will be added/taken away as the story progresses. GORE tag will be quite true, though *shouldn't* be heavy enough for a -Mature- rating. If I should upgrade the Rating, please let me know. The "Human" tag is more for the Anthro aspect of the story as opposed to being humanized versions of the characters. I'll still use the MLP terms to describe the characters, just know that they're on two legs as opposed to four... most of the time.

After returning from her advanced studies with Celestia, Twilight finds a strange and mysterious book with power over death itself. Soon she finds herself haunted by a strange creature that only she can see, and a nagging urge to test out the power of the book for herself. Driven by the spreading corruption, Twilight begins down a dark path that enevelops not only herself and her friends, but all of Equestria.

(This story does change some of the rules of the death note, though i will try to stick to the rules of it as i can)

((You can find the cover image here http://www.everypony.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5418&d=1345121575, I take no credit for making it, but it was the first thing that came up when i google imaged Death Note+My Little Pony))

Twilight Sparkle, the element of magic and personal protege of Princess Celestia, on day stumbles across a a strange book entitled "Death Note." By simply knowing one's face and writing their name in the book, that pony will die within 40 seconds, unless the desired death is specified. Twilight decides to use this power to create a new Equestria with no crime or violence by killing off all of the criminals. Princess Luna decides to personally see to it that the pony nicknamed "Kira" is caught before anymore death can occur.

Crossover with Death Note. Don't like don't read.

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle. The adorable Cutie Mark Crusaders. Younger sisters to the Elements of Honesty, the Element of Loyalty and the Element of Generosity.

They were so lovely, weren't they? Sure. But did they remain the same after five years?

Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle. The separated, used-to-be Cutie Mark Crusaders. The ponies who are living lost causes. An unsuccessful and exhausted saloon owner, a weapon smuggler (part-time assassin), a gambler who is in dire need of money to keep hide on her bones.

Don't live in Ponyville anymore. Don't even live together or talk to each other.
Their sisters, out of sight and (probably) out of mind. Their friends, they don't care about. Their home, left and abandoned by themselves. Their lives, full of desolation and ruin.

Tempest Shadow would be the first pony to tell you she's not worthy of friendship. All she deserves after a life spent helping the Storm King conquer and pillage is four walls, bars, and solitude. But she's getting a new life in Ponyville anyway, at the side of Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship.

Tempest Shadow isn't a friendship kind of pony. She's not a party kind of pony. She's not a happy kind of pony in the least. So what could there possibly be for her in Ponyville? More than she thinks, as it turns out. Come join her as she discovers what she's truly meant to do, what she's truly worth, and who she's truly meant to be with. Her life is going to change far more than she ever would have expected.

A serial that will update as individual stories are completed. Incomplete until the whole thing is finished, but the reader is urged to keep up with uploads. Individual stories may also be comedies or adventures. Warning tags may be added as necessary. Find more stories here!
