While on deployment to the Arabian Sea, the crew of a Royal Australian Navy Destroyer begin to notice that one of their helicopter pilots is starting to develop some rather odd quirks, both mentally and physically.
A cutie mark, wings, hooves, and a knack for treasure-hunting, just to name a few...

A recursive fic to TwistedSpectrum's "Five Score, Divided By Four".

Rarity knows Sweetie is a sweet filly, everyone in Ponyville did. She was like a flower, a kind and gentle foal. So imagine their surprise when she returned to Ponyville from a Manehattan trip with her parents with a whole new image, an image sure to be shunned by her older sister. But will the rest of the town accept the new her, or will they cast her out for the little rebel she appears?

A story about acceptance. Consider this the after school special with a better taste in music and smokes cigarettes behind the school with your brother.

There are consequences to every action, but we can't always predict what they will be. I stay up at night wondering what I could have done differently, but I've already paid the price for my actions. All I can do now is deal with the consequences, and I've got several great friends to help me do it.

War. That was what the Imperium was about. I was sick of it. An Astartes, Sick of war.
All I wanted to do was leave.

(Cover art is Temporary until I find a fitting one.)

Because ponies are awesome, too.

After the events of Pacific Rim, the aliens invaded a whole new world. Equestria. The ponies are as unprepared for this threat as mankind was, except for one more thing. A book, detailing the construction of the one weapon that can stop the Kaiju, known to the ponies as Majors. You know what they are.
Jaegers.
Convert them for ponies, and it's the Equestrians' time to shine. It's time for the Kaiju to be defeated, one more time. It's time for those aliens to learn their lesson: You should always beware the cute ones. Especially one Twilight Sparkle, formally student of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, currently ace Hussar, unicorn pilot of Sonic Eclipse. A traumatic accident once forced her to retire, but the invasion is getting hotter, the defenders are getting slaughtered, and with the help of fellow pilots Rainbow Dash and Applejack, other hussars Lightning Dust, Trixie Lulamoon, and Time Turner, weapons designer Pinkie Pie, Captain Fluttershy, and Jaeger designer Rarity, she's going to do what she does best: re-pilot Sonic Eclipse and cancel the apocalypse.

Notes: This is not a ponified rewrite of Pacific Rim. Yes, the skeleton plot will be the same, the villains will be the same, and the Jaegers will be ponies, but the non-skeleton plot will change, the ending will change, and the characters don't mostly match up to movie characters (I will admit that some do, and that some plot elements are from the movie)
Please enjoy, read and review!

The situation has gotten ... out of hand.

Twilight Sparkle had thought that she'd cured Fluttershy of the bat influence, but it soon transpires that she was mistaken; now with their friend at risk of serious injury or death every night, Twilight and the others must do everything they can to keep her safe while they search for a more permanent solution.

If one even exists.

When you try and use dark magic to take over Canterlot High, it never ends well.
The Dazzlings lost their powers and were thoroughly embarrassed by Sunset Shimmer, Princess Twilight, and company.

For Sonata, it didn't get much better. Fed up with her inherent ignorance, Adagio takes her frustrations out on Sonata, and kicks her out of the group. With nowhere to go, she winds up wandering the streets. Luckily for her, she wandered into the right place at the right time.

She'll be borrowing someone's kindness for a while.

Will Sonata be able to atone for her mistakes?
Will she be able to make friends?

Author's Note: Originally, I planned to entirely change this. But I realized this provides me with a beautiful opportunity. A chance to explore a world of what-ifs. Sonata being saved by Vinyl after the Battle of the Bands could change the entire timeline from here on out. Let's go.

The Great and Powerful Trixie has returned to Ponyville, apologetic for all of her previous actions, and cleansed of all thoughts of revenge, domination, power and destruction. Now reformed, she only wishes to be accepted and loved in this wonderful little town while making friends of her own.

Yeah, right.

Would you believe Trixie has convinced that foolish unicorn and her dopey dragon pet that she should live rent-free in the library with them while she recovers from whatever it is that she claims to be suffering from this week? Yeah, let’s go with that.

Join Trixie and her friends the rest of the town as she settles into Ponyville, makes some enemies friends, and tries to find true love survive the experience.

Bring a cream pie. You’ll need it.

This story is a sequel to Cafeteria Control

After witnessing abuse at the hands of Adagio and Aria, Pinkie Pie comes to the aid of Sonata. The two quickly hit it off and a friendship is born… much to the dismay of everyone around them.

Diplomacy has failed. Six years have passed Equestria's crowning of the princess of friendship, ushering in a supposed unprecedented age of peace and harmony. The concept of warfare is, to most ponies, nothing more than an unfathomable legend. They have let their guard down.

An unknown enemy has seized the opportunity to attack Equestria with terrifying new weapons of war, bent on taking the fertile land and restoring an ancient order. The valiant efforts of the Royal Guard have given Princess Twilight and her arcane scientists time to research and develop a response to their attackers, and the time has come for that response to be implemented. Utilizing weapons and tactics borrowed from another world, five squads under the command of Princess Luna will infiltrate the forests of the Equestrian Northwest to destroy a revolutionary magical matrix that Twilight refers to as the "radio" - a tool that allows enemy ponies to communicate across vast distances instantly.

Nightmare Two is comprised of three foalhood friends who, rather than be separated from each other in the draft, volunteer to become one of the five Nightmare squads. With their bodies forever altered to suit the needs of their mission, the three young mares join legions of ponies armed with powerful weapons to partake in a horrifying new breed of warfare - Equestria's first in over one thousand years.

Heads up, folks. If you wouldn't mind leaving a comment alongside the thumbs-down, I'd appreciate it. This is my first foray into fan fiction and although it's a hobby I nonetheless wish to get better. :)

Got some FAQ's for you guys as well!

- Alternate universe in which the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" did not occur. (As much as I loved it! :D)

- Numerical age tends to vary with headcanon, but the CMC here were just getting started with their adult lives when the draft went into effect.

- The war is pony v. pony, utilizing firearms and the Equestrian equivalent of a tank. The underlying headcanon is that ponies used firearms similar to muskets and tracked armored vehicles akin to our tanks in times of old, and what the enemy currently employs is essentially the natural progression of these technologies.

- There are no real-world weapons or equipment i.e. "Panzer IV," or "M16 assault rifle." Particularly acute details such as the caliber of weapons are also absent.

- Technology is based on that of WWI with some WWII elements. Firearms are primarily bolt-action.

- The "radio" spell matrix functions as what we know to be a radio, but is not identical.

- All four of a Night Mare's legs are permanently replaced by the augments.

- Night Mares are female. Stallions proved unable to properly animate the limbs.
