A damaged robot pony, unlike anything ever seen in pre-industrial Equestria, is found in the orchard. Before it collapses, it says only two words: "Twilight Sparkle..."

Twilight fixes the mechanical mare and gives her a new directive: "Make friends." Now a robot must learn what it takes to be a good friend and, while she's at it, what it means to live...

Rainbow Dash is hiding something from her friends. She isn't who she says she is. She is Shadow Dash, daughter of King Sombra, but how would her friends react to that? I'm afraid. They would cast her away surely! You don't know that. They would hate her! They wouldn't do anything like that! They're your friends! They would probably banish her from Equestria! I can't risk it...

Inspired from the many stories I read that were incomplete having a similar idea of sorts to this story. Hopefully I finish the job, unlike so many others.

Trigger Warnings:
Cussing/ Bad Language, Twidash (for those who don't want Twidash), Some violence I guess, Original Characters

Waking up in a strange virtual world with no recollection of her past. Twilight is forced to fight for survival in a war she does not understand for a prize beyond value; the opportunity to have one's wish granted. With only a being called a "Servant" by her side she will have to face both friends and foes in battles to the death in order to not only gain possession of the Holy Grail, but also to find the most important question of all. Who is she? And where did she come from?

Crossover: (MLP x Fate/Extra)

Nikolas Memphis is a diligent follower to the legendary pokemon Giratina. After a fight with a creature sent by Arceus which ends up taking the life of his husband and adopted child. Giratina decides to give Nikolas a new mission until he is done grieving. That mission? Go to another world she will send him to and spread her name there. Giratina only knew of the side effect on sending him there being Nikolas would loose his anthropomorphic stature and become a hybrid between a espeon and the dominant specie in the new world. What none of them expected, was for Nikolas to be transformed into a child upon arriving in that new world. Now, we follow his trek in that world, which ends up being Equestria as he spread the name of Giratina, and maybe even change some part of the future for that world.

Sex tag is for mild mentions, mentioned disgusting sexual acts done by secondary characters, and some rare jokes around it. First appears in chapter 2.

Cover art was a piece commissioned by me, done by Chillykitty. All credit to them. Go check their art, it’s really good. (No, they didn’t ask me to do this for them, but they deserve a ton of credit for the amazing work they’ve done)

The pony that came back after 1000 years of exile to the moon was not the pony that Celestia expected. Instead of the menacing figure of Nightmare Moon what she instead got was a madly cackling alicorn rolling in a grassy field occasionally taking a break to stroke the lush green plants as if they were the most fascinating thing in the world.

While this was certainly better than the alternative Celestia was a bit miffed that her sister had not even acknowledged her presence before going to play in the grass. How could grass be more interesting than her?

Destiny or chaos, I wouldn't know the reason, but for some reason my life had a clean slate.

Now I am Wizbell Star, a little colt with great desires to explore magic and this new place full of Ponies?

Here the magic is real, not a delirium, not a visual falsehood, it is tangible!! I can do magic, study it, understand it, a small childish desire comes back to give me a purpose to live.

Now I am not just another cog in a society that tries to get money for tomorrow without any ambition or purpose beyond surviving.

For the first time... I am living.

I will add the tags during the course of the story because I'm not sure whether to add some of them or not, so I will only add them when I have some content that supports having them.

Ten years have passed since Rainbow Dash performed her second Sonic Rain-boom. She was approched by Dr. Atmosphere shortly after her feat to work in the Upper Rainbow Factory. The secret Upper Rainbow Factory, off limits to normal Pegasi, was where the rainbows were made for Equestria. Gleefully she agreed, until she saw what horrors laid inside. Unwilling, or incapable, she couldn't bring herself to take down the horrible sights that were flaunted before her. After years of having death and destruction ground into her mind, Rainbow Dash's psyche has begun to crumble. The only thing left keeping her sanity in tack is her #1 fan, Scootaloo. With years of helping the young filly practice for her Flight exam, Rainbow has done everything to make sure she will pass the exam and not wind up in the wrong place. Unfortunitly something goes wrong and Rainbow Dash is forced into making a decision she'll regret. Hopefully the outsider brought to Equestria by Princess Celestia will help her keep her sanity.

A Crossover between Aurora Dawn's Rainbow Factory and my D.C.R. story.

Hey everyone... yes this is another re-write of Human in Rainbow factory, but the only reason I'm doing this, is because the others that I've read weren't really that good... not trying to hate. So anyway... story description:

Josh and Nick have this huge argument about bronies... Josh is not a brony... He insults his friend Nick and Nick wishes that The Rainbow Factory Fiction was true and that Josh was in it... well guess what happens to Josh...

What will happen to Scootaloo, will Rainbow kill her, find out here.
This is the story of what happens after Rainbow Factory, of what happens to Rainbow Dash, and the way the horrors Scootaloo experienced, changed her.
The original story RAINBOW FACTORY is not mine, this sequel is unofficial, All credit for the story this is sequeling goes to Aurora Dawn.

This is a fan-made, alternative ending to AuroraDawn's "Rainbow Factory". All credit for the original story, and the source of my inspiration, goes fully to her.
