Celestia has been preparing for Luna’s return in exacting detail, most of which is being kept from the other ponies. Unfortunately, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

Shining Armor wakes up one morning to discover that the entire Day Guard has quit, save for a single Pegasus named Cloud Skipper. Their reason: anger over thinking they're being replaced by the Night Guard, made up of a single Night Pony named Midnight Blossom. Before he can pull the situation together, Nightmare Moon returns. Still, one can only make the best of a bad situation.

But even after Princess Luna is restored, the problems don't stop. It's nearly impossible to recruit any more Guards, leaving the reparations in the hands of three ponies. Nightmare Moon isn't entirely gone, still haunting the dreams of Skipper and Midnight. Certain warlike cultures may notice Equestria's weakness and invade. And the old commander of the Day Guard, Cumulus, may have had other motives for his disbanding them...

Truths will be uncovered, identities will be questioned, and nightmares will come to life. But maybe, even in the eternal night, a light can be found and followed to the dawn.

Notes: British spellings used for all except names. Also, Hasbro owns My Little Pony, and Cloud Skipper and Midnight Blossom were originally created by Equestria-Prevails on Deviantart. The only thing I own is this particular story.
Rated Teen for blood and occasional uncensored swearing, but no detailed gore and no sex.

Wait, how the hell did I get a feature by posting an omake?

5000 years ago Celestia and Luna imprisoned another, male, alicorn to keep him from killing himself, his name was Crimson Fang and he held the titles of the God of Fear and the King of Monsters. When their king was imprisoned, vamponies, werewolves, ghouls and many other kinds o Monsters went into hiding and eventually faded into obscurity. Today the ponies of Equestria think that they are just stories. But the Monster King is about to be feed from his stone prison, and both his kingdom and subjects will rise again.

What follows is a tale of love between the newly crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle and the ancient King of Monsters as they fight off the Thirteen Archdemons. Ancient friends and enemies of the Monster King will return, relationships will blossom and secret familial relations will be revealed.

This is a side story to Zeusdemigod131's A New World, a New Way.

I'd like to thank him for giving me permission to write this, I'm having a lot of fun doing so.

I want to also thank Tdnpony and ZeusDemi for editing as well as the multitude of authors I kidnap ask to help Pre-read.

A Sidestory for Zuesdemigod131's A New World A New way.

Construction worker Jacob Arrow, whom prefers to be called "X" was just a small time construction worker in Kalos which his pokemon team as both employee and family. The team does the job, gets paid, and chill out at home.

Meanwhile, young changeling Nell is struggling to find her own way, hopefully one that distances her from her brood sisters, and is about to depart on a short journey as a merchant.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. When Arceus' master plan is kicked off, Nell and the strange family known as ShadowFox construction must survive the chaos the Alpha Pokemon unwittingly caused.

Editing by the amazing TDNpony.

Cover art by me. Currently a Work in Progress.

(10/26) +1 feature!

Jayce is a trainer from the Kalos region, all through out his travels he's gone out of his way to be kind to those he meet and have adventures with his oh so fluffy Meowstic Nao. But when Arceus escapes his prison and decides to move all of his children and a few worthy human to a new world chaos is bound to ensue. The problem is this new world doesn't know they're coming or even what Pokemon are, did I mention this world was filled with colorful ponies? Being in a new world is scary enough, but the humans who find themselves here are turned into Pokemon and Jayce is no exception.

I would like to thank Zeusdemigod131 for creating a great setting and allowing me to have my own adventures in it. I highly recommend getting up to date on his story before starting mine, it'll help.

Arceus has been imprisoned for many millennia, and in that time he has watched his world fall apart. But once he is finally freed from his prison he decides that to protect his Pokémon, and his family, that he will move the Pokémon, and a few select 'humans' to a world where they might live in peace, Equestria. However, not everyone on this new world shares his view of peace and the very presence of the Pokémon upsests some of the citizens of the world, even some of the ones he brought with aren't too happy with the situation. But a god's will is a strong thing and without his willingness the Pokémon and the citizens of Equestria are going to have to learn to get along, or at least tolerate each other. And there's a slight problem with some of the humans too, well, former humans that is.

Big thanks to tdnpony for proof reading, editing, helping me with ideas, and so much more.

Big thanks toxBUBBA1995x for the amazing new cover art!

I also have a Tvtrope page that is kept somewhat up to date by Kingofsouls if you know how to Trope, and want to help set it up, go here Tvtrope Link.

Since a lot of people keep aking this I'm gonna put an explanation here. I'm not following any one canon-verse here, I'm making a hodge podge universe with bits from the Manga, Anime, Games, and Movies, as well as some etcetera concerning issues addressed in none of them to great lengths. (Arceus' power is far beyond what he has in the games or movie and this does contain some Pokephilia, which comes from pretty much no canon material ever.)

A thing or two about changelings and their habits
SYNOPSIS:
Just another regular day at Ponyville... or is it?
Applejack on her way back from the annual tournament she attends to, stumbles upon an unexpected guest.
Could the changelings be striking back or is it more than just meets the eye?
A story with more plot twists and secrets than an Alfred Hitchcock short.

We, the immortals
SYNOPSIS:
It's the year 487 of the Golden era and the world is an open door for the career of a young handsome changeling like Stanley but once a mysterious package from a questionable source arrives, everything falls apart.
Stanley now finds himself out on the streets, chased by ponysonas who want him at the bottom of the river and he has 24 hours to find somepony named Cynthia.
A fast action packed story with a slow, less action packed hero.

Reality split
SYNOPSIS:
It has been over two decades after the tragedy caused by Mark and things in Equestria have finally settled down, big changes are marking the new era for pony and changeling kind but a new problem is on its way as mysterious occurrences sweep all of Equestria, buildings collapsing for no reason, many disappearances and some ponies and changelings changing into entirely other characters with different memories and experiences.
It is up to our two well known heroes to get to the bottom of this but things become complicated when they stumble across a changeling couple accompanied by a Cerberus who claim to know Pacifica and Monty.
