FriendLiner: a train that travels through time. Will its next destination be the past... or the future?

Spike the dragon couldn't help but notice strange changes in his life ever since his disastrous birthday. The once warm Twilight Sparkle has gone cold and her five friends are missing! To take his mind off of his issues, though, Ponyville is now under attack by strange future beings called Hobblers, and, thanks to a possession incident, an odd belt, and a pass given to him by a pony from a doomed future who happens to be a passenger on a time-traveling train, it's up to him to save the day!

Well, it's not all on his shoulders, anyway. The party-loving nutcase that possessed him, it turns out, activates strange powers from the belt, and together, their bond creates the powerful "Friend-O"! With extra help from the future pony, Eve Stropper, and the crew of the FriendLiner, Spike and the ensemble that he attracts are Equestria's hero, the mysterious Masked Rider!

Friendship is Magic has, at this point, been crossed over with everything and its mother, so it didn't surprise me to learn that someone had already beaten me to the punch of crossing over FIM with Kamen Rider Den-O. Though, I guess since the other one I found crosses the Den-O characters instead of the "platform" or so, I guess it can't hurt to continue writing my version anyway.

After his sister sacrifices herself to save his life from Bill Cipher, 17-year old Dipper Pines finds himself in an alternate dimension known as Equestria, where technology and magic co-exist in harmony, and the people in this world are as assorted as a bag full of Summerween candy. Some of them could manipulate magic and cast powerful spells, some had wings that, of course, allowed them to fly, and others still were seemingly normal, but had great strength.

Moving in with teenage sorceress Twilight Sparkle, on whom he develops a crush on, Dipper soon discovers that he himself has the ability to control magic and cast powerful spells. But, little does he know that his old enemy Bill Cipher is planning to catch up with him very soon, and lay waste to the world he now calls home. Can Dipper and his new friends stop Bill, and will Dipper and Twilight live happily ever after? Only time will tell!

Set in an AU of both Gravity Falls and MLP. All ponies (and technically dragons) have been humanized to a certain extent.

It had been hard enough, being one of the first. With the walls dropped, leaving her nation, her herd, traveling to Japan and trying to exist among so many strangers... every day had been a challenge. But she'd tried. Day by day, hoofstep by hoofstep, she'd felt she was finding her place in the human world.

But now there are no humans. No other demis or liminals. Nothing to anchor her. She exists among tiny horses and the scent of their fear, or at least what little of it drifts into her cell.

For nopony can look at a centaur and see anything but a monster.

A Legend of Dragoon Crossover Fic.

Dragoons, magical knights that harness the magic of ancient dragons. When the power of these dragons is set loose on the world once more, Spike experiences a startling transformation. With the power of the other ancient dragons being harnessed by enemies of Equestria, Princess Twilight decides to put her life on the line and become a Dragoon herself. Realizing that goal will not be easy though, and if she succeeds, she will have to find the other Dragoons and bring them over to her side in order to end the threat to their peaceful way of life. But the path won't be easy at all. Words don't sway every mind, and with war ready to erupt, it will become kill or be killed when the powers of the Dragoons clash. Innocence and purity aren't easy to hold onto in the face of war and death. Twilight, with Spike at her side, will need to bring herself to make the hard choices needed to save those she cares about, and she'll need the support of her friends, old and new, if she's to succeed.

(A very much appreciated fan, Dirty Bit has saw fit to include youtube links to pieces of Legend of Dragoon soundtrack that he thinks fits the scenes or chapters best. He is a totally awesome dude for doing this, and if you want a little extra feeling to the scenes, by all means, click on one as you're reading or re-reading.)

Just a few things to keep in mind when reading this fic:
- This is not a direct crossover fic. Characters from the game Legend of Dragoon will not have main storyline significance, at least as far as I have planned. If they do appear, it will be more in a cameo sense through history that shaped this world.
- While this holds Alternate Universe tags, all the events of the show have happened up to the end of Season 3. What changes have been made will affect only the history of the world and future events.
- The current title image is just a placeholder. Currently seeking special title art for the story.
-While this is a crossover fic, I intend to make it very friendly to people not familiar with the game Legend of Dragoon. So those not familiar with it should not feel alienated coming in.

Far, far away from the Equiss system, the queen of blades is readying the launch of her newest weapon. A ship designed to infest an entire planet in secret, readying it for the eventual zerg invasion and softening up even the hardest target, Korhal. Unfortunately for the queen of blades, the untested zerg biotechnology is more difficult to master then she thought and the infestation ship vanishes after launch.

Untold eons later Twilight Sparkle is preparing for her entrance exam for Celestia's school for gifted unicorns only to stop when she sees a star fall into her new treehouse. The young pony sets out in the middle of a storm, intent on seeing this fallen star for herself.

What she finds inside will change not only her destiny but the destiny of all on Equiss prime.

The story so far!

If there's one thing we can count on, it's Twilight Sparkle, prized student and newest princess, to botch up a spell in her quest to master all of magic.

This time, it propels her to a new world, this one not inhabited by bipeds, but ponies like herself, and yet not like herself. She has entered the realm of Everglow, where the queen is a queen, and ponies suffer horribly lethal combat much more often than Equestria could manage under the peaceful reign of its alicorn caretakers.

Will she find her way back home, to her friends and responsibilities? Will she survive the harsh new realm she has entered?
