This story is a sequel to Possession in the Crystal Empire

King Sombra. The lost son of Queen Rabia. The former tyrant of the Crystal Empire. He thought he was the last of his kind. He's been defeated twice, first banished for a thousand years, then shattered by the magic of the Crystal Heart, but he was still not down. He was brought back to life due to previous careful planning and through that process has learned that there is hope for his race.

After laying low to recover his former strength, King Sombra has decided that he will rebuild the empire his mother and late sister ruled. But to do that, he needs ponies, certain ponies. Ponies that can trace their ancestry back to his race.

He needs Private Iceland and Barricade and preferably their family too.

A Warhammer Fantasy, MLP crossover.

Following the Changeling invasion the land of Equestria returns to relative peace. Princess Luna, furious at her own absence during Equestria's time of need leads the Royal Guard in pursuing and expelling the bulk of the remaining changelings. The hunt to root out any changelings that have gone to ground in Canterlot has been left to Trottingham Guard Captain Forlorn Wind as the Canterlot Guard finds itself stretched across the land.

Markus Holstein, Arch Lector of the Cult of Sigmar, leads a splinter force of veteran Empire state troops with the support of a Magister of the Light Order to hunt and destroy the two Tzeentch Sorcerers at work on a nefarious and unknown spell. The ensuing magical feedback from the Magister's attempt to counter twists the nature of the Sorcerer's work. A gateway to another realm is created and the beleagured Empire army is forced to retreat into the unknown.

The evil of both worlds however does not rest; the Tzeentch Sorcerers survive their spells corruption, finding themselves in a new world with their loyal followers. Elsewhere Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, bitterly broods over her defeat from within the depths of the Everfree forest with a collection of her own devout minions.

After an existential journey goes wrong, a man finds himself in Equestria. With no way to return home he has no choice but to find a path in a new body. Will he discover a place to belong once again in this new land, or be forced to carve one out?

Currently rewriting first eight chapters and editing the rest of the story. Plot will be fundamentally the same, just the quality will significantly increase. There will be some story and character changes.

As of right now the story ramps in quality with some bumps due to edits.

A strange accident has stranded three mighty warriors in Equestria: Horus Lupercal, Sanguinius, and the Emperor of Mankind. Trapped in the bodies of ponies, and fresh from the battle on the Vengeful Spirit they must navigate this strange new world. But their very arrival has altered the course of Equestrian history: Nightmare Moon has escaped her end, and still haunts Equestria. With Horus at large with her, and the Emperor crippled by his injuries, Sanguinius must work with Twilight Sparkle to find a way to save the world, while maybe learning a few valuable (and grudging) lessons about friendship.

King Sombra returns to Equestria after a long banishment into the depths of the Frozen North. Twilight and the others are determined to help Sombra reform into a caring stallion. Sombra is hesitant with this offer at first, but soon begins to understand.

Story takes place sometime before season 9, only because I haven’t watched it yet.

During a battle with the great enemy, a mechanicus torpedo is lost in the warp. It crashes in a planet called "equis-b67", in the frozen tundra of the crystal empire. Twilight and the Royal guard ivestigate the event: It is the first meteor in a thousand years. Equestria has weakened since the start of the war with the griffons, and the princesses are considering surrender.

This meteor is their last chance of winning the war: In all the meteors that have fallen on equestria, some contain the substance known as " celestium ". It posesses mystical properties. A single dust-sized fragment is abble to enhance the magic of a unicorn to near-allicorn level.

As half the Equestrian army is sent to the crystal empire to join forces with shining armor's troops, the 200 Skitarii are revealed to the population, secrets are pierced and shadows enlightened.

For in the 41st millenium, their is only war.

TN, OP now has an editor! Thank you to Helping Hoof for helping me with my work.

Twilight is called on to be a political Emissary to the far northern kingdoms. Due to the attacks from Tirek and the others, the land borders have been altered. Several miles of land that was once considered to be a part of Equestria is now within the borders of their northern neighbors. It is ruled solely by a pony that is as unwavering as steel. Twilight is tasked with being an emissary to this kingdom and try to negotiate to have him withdraw his claim to the territory. Meeting him is going to change everything she knows about how an Overlord rules his ponies. She finds out just how politics works for him and how he treats his subjects. She reminds herself to keep an open mind and treat him as she would any other. She is not prepared for what she finds. A stallion that rules alone. One that is more complex than she realized. One that if offended could spell disaster for Equestria itself. Hunter Flame is about to make her realize that nothing is as simple as she thinks it is.

Story is loosely based off the Overlord Video Games By Triumph Studios
