"My name is Scootaloo, I'm twelve years old and...as much as I don't like to admit it...I'm an orphan.

Anyway, something happened to me, I don't know...I got sucked into some weird dimension thingy and I got turned into an alicorn! But it only happens when I say a certain word. This old pony told me that this power should only be used to protect others, and stop something bad that would come back to hurt a lot of ponies. I don't know what's coming, but I won't let it hurt my friends, or anypony, and to those who dare try, I got one word for you..."

After seeing that something that wasn't quite right on Twilight's birth certificate Pinkie Pie decided to go ask her about it.

After all, it was probably only a simple mistake, right?

Life can be challenging for humans born in Equestria, but it's especially tough for a human raised by ponies. Rainbow Dash overcame every obstacle life had thrown at her to become a hero of Equestria, the Element of Loyalty and make five of the best friends ever. Life couldn't be better, or could it? When she saves the life of an orphaned filly named Scootaloo she realizes she may have more than just awesomeness to offer others.

(Thanks to my great friend Steve for the editing and feedback on this story.)

Scootaloo has a secret. One that she's been hiding her whole life, and after the royal wedding has no choice but to share.

Apple Bloom has a secret. One that she's been hiding for six months, and is still terrified of.

Sweetie Belle has a secret. One that she's been hiding for... well, she doesn't know how long, and is looking for answers to.

So what happens when three not-ponies find out their friends aren't ponies either?

Well, one thing's for certain: they're going to have to come up with a new name for their club. Hopefully one better than the title.

This story's update frequency is incredibly sporadic, but I promise, no matter what happens, no matter how long it takes, this story will reach completion. (Update 12/28/22: YES, I PROMISE I'M STILL WORKING ON IT!)

Isolated from her friends and taken prisoner in the middle of a war, Twilight must deal with the very real dangers of being percieved as an enemy as well as the nightmares of her arrival on 'Earth'. Can she overcome her own fears and the fears of her captors? Will the wayward unicorn's assistance be a boon or a curse to the 'humans?' Most importantly, will she ever find her way home?

"In short, it's a story of friendship and plasma rifles, with the emphasis on the friendship. The characters are well written, the XCOM setting is fleshed out very well, and the story is compelling. If you love XCOM, you'll love the story, but even if you've never heard of it, it's more than worth giving the first 3 chapters a read.

There's excellent action later on, but the real strength lies in the collision between the friendly and naive world of Twilight Sparkle and the desperate world of humans fighting a losing war for survival and willing to do anything to turn the tide."

Part of the Harmony's Warriors Universe

When a megalomaniac comes from the stars with the goal of enslaving all of Equestria, it's up to a soldier from the past, a redemption seeking businessmare, a demigod with an ego, an eccentric sharpshooter, and an introverted civilian with a dark secret to put a stop to it.

Of course, forming a team is always harder then it looks, and the six must first learn to work together, and set aside their differences, before they can tackle the greater foe.

For those of you wondering, yes, this serves as a sequel and mega-crossover of my previous stories, Iron Mare, Flutterhulk, Soar and Captain Equestria. Luckily, while this story will obviously include references to the previous stories, I'm going to also make sure that if you haven't had a chance or the time to read those stories, you can still understand what's going on here.

After all, what's the good of making a story only a select few can get any enjoyment out of?

The "Other" and "OC" character tags are to cover my bases, since I can't include every character in the tags.

Also, I'd like to note that the cover art was the best piece of fan art I could find with the Mane Six as The Avengers. The actual casting is different. Just a note.

The search to find the right pony to serve as your bodyguard can take a lifetime. Finding the pony you want to spend your life with can take just as long. Fortunately for Rarity, she finds both of these qualities united in one pony.

Nothing is ever easy, however. And in a way, the journey to happiness is never truly over.

This story was tagged as 'dark' for minor blood, and off-screen death in certain scenes. Not enough to really shock, but I thought it prudent to mention regardless.

This story is dedicated to Monochromatic, who has become a friend to me over this last year.

Enjoy.

While Twilight was teaching Starlight a new spell, a miscalcution happened and Starlight messed it up and caused a rift to open between dimension. As a result, the male mane 6 were pulled from their own dimension and brought to the mane 6 one.

As Twilight tries to figure out a way to send them back, her and the others try to help their male counterparts adjust to their new lives in their world.

Not a clopfic, the sex tag is for the suggestive themes within the chapters.

Ships
Dusk Shine x Fluttershy
Twilight Sparkle x Bubble Berry
Rainbow Blitz x Applejack
Rainbow Dash x Butterscotch
Elusive x Pinkie Pie
Rarity x Applejack (r63)

Your classic, everyday romance and adventure story with the best couple, musical numbers and plotline ever.
Applejack has always been the subject of bullying at her school, mainly because of her style of clothing and Southern accent. She found it hard to live with this most days, but when a poster appeared announcing needed members for a band, well, she thought she'd found her chance.
Of course, she felt moreso when she met the founder, Rainbow Dash.

Big thanks to all who helped with this story - editors, song writers, and, of course, the users who post supporting comments on every chapter.
