Some say that time heals all wounds. Others say absence makes the heart grow fonder. How, then, is one supposed to move on from a home and a life from centuries ago when the hurt only grows stronger with each passing day?

The Kingdom of Equestria is world-renowned for its teachings of peace, harmony, and friendship. Whole schools were built on these principles, to spread the message to all races in every corner of the globe. Yet, how could Equestria hope to teach peace and friendship to a species that had once been driven to the edge of extinction by pony hooves?

The Terran Nation has spent the last three millennia living in fear of the ponies and of all other races. Paranoid and alone, their reality is a never-ending cold war. One that exists only in their own minds as the rest of the world had almost forgotten them. 

After a sudden and quick war with the cat-like Abyssians, the Terrans have grown bold and decided that the time to re-establish themselves on the world stage has arrived. To determine if Equestria is still a threat to them, they've sent one of their best mages to integrate into pony society. To talk, to spy, and to report back on possible weaknesses in Equestria's defenses.

Whether through peace or war, the Terrans vow to never allow pony hooves to tread on them again.

Equestria Girls and the IDW comics are not canon.

For this story, I have drawn a lot of inspiration from many different genres and sources such as sci-fi, fantasy, anime, books, etc. However, this is an original story and not a crossover.

Cover image is from the Undertale AU "Underplayer." It is a temporary image, but I found it quite fitting for the main protagonist if a little misleading.

Discord has kicked the bucket.

Anon seems, outwardly, very optimistic over that fact.

Certain ponies find this very suspicious.

Thrust headlong into a strange new world, Solaire of Astora must make amends before he can continue with his mission. Unbeknownst to them all, a shadow from his past approaches.

NOTICE: This is an unofficial and highly expanded story adaptation of the "PWaaMLPfim" Youtube Video Series: Phoenix Wright / My Little Pony FIM - Turnabout Storm! The videos came first, NOT this story!!!!

A quiet summer night in Ponyville takes a violent turn when two pegasus ponies enter the Everfree Forest and only one comes out alive, leaving the second accused of murder, on trial for her life. Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright finds himself dragged from his own world, magically summoned to Equestria by Twilight Sparkle to defend Rainbow Dash from charges of killing Ace Swift, a superstar pegasus athlete and champion racer.

Trapped in an unfamiliar world ruled by magical talking ponies, Phoenix must draw on all his wits and experience to solve the crime and uncover the conspiracy behind it... before Rainbow Dash is banished to the sun for a murder she didn't commit.
