A young man lost in the hilly embrace of a mountain sleeps the night away under a knot of tree roots. When he wakes he will find himself thrust into a strange new environment, the Everfree Forest. With only his pack and his experience as a Boy Scout to aid him, he must survive, make sense of his surroundings and with some luck, ultimately find his way home. What does one do after wandering beyond the edge of the map? And better yet...

What if you are not alone?

I have been reading fan fiction here for a while and wanted to give something back.
My first fiction ever so constructive criticism is welcome. Fair warning, it takes a while for me to write a chapter so expect gaps between updates.

[Hiatus notice: As of 10/1/2022 this fiction is on hiatus so I may focus on other projects and items, will resume at a later date.]

Rated teen for strong language

Awesome cover art by Carnelian. Seriously, the guy has major skills with how fast he drew this up.

and of course ALL CHARACTERS / REFERENCES BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. “MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC” IS OWNED BY HASBRO

NO PROFIT WAS MADE IN THE CREATION / DISTRIBUTION PLEASE DONT SUE ME OR ANY PARTY THAT DISTRIBUTES THIS WORK (unless they try to sell it, then by all means go nuts)

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Thanks to CedricBale and noobie56xx for tracking down the name of the artist so I could give them credit.

Important notes about the status of this story below

Ever wonder what Equestria's past was like? How did Celestia and Luna come to rule? And what made their rule a time of peace? Well I may have had something to do with that.

Name's Zack. I appeared in Equestria over 3000 years before the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" takes place. For whatever reason, a few months after my arrival, I was transported to the modern day Ponyville. What happened? Are the Princesses mad at me for disappearing like I did? I only helped establish the greatest country this world has ever seen and then vanished.

That... sounded more innocent in my head. Uh oh...

A/N:
Just to let you know ahead of time, this is a ponified human, 1st person story. If you don't like it, don't bother.
The cover art was made by me, with the exception of the night sky bg (Wertyla).

Edit August 2nd 2016: I want to rewrite this story from the beginning. Read this for more info and tell me what you think.

Edit May 24th 2017: IMPORTANT! I am currently rewriting the entire story and with that, many details and aspects are set to change. As such, it will essentially be an entirely new story, meaning this version of Past, Present, and Future is technically Cancelled. There will be no more chapter updates until I finish the rewrite, meaning that this version will not have a proper ending. If it's requested enough, I may do some kind of Cliffnotes version of how the rest of the story was meant to play out, but for right now just know that if you start reading this version, you will not get an ending. I will post an announcement chapter on this story and Blog on my profile when the writing nears completion and I'm about to start uploading chapters. Thank you for all of your interest in my first public work of fiction. It really means a lot to me.

This story is a sequel to The Conversion Bureau: Worlds Where It Wouldn’t Work

The Multiverse is a large place, and there are infinitely many versions of Celestia who, for one reason or another, thought it would be a good idea to turn humanity into ponies.

But as the old saying goes, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

The quasi-official sequel to the comedy fanfic by Sora2455 is here!

Arceus, God of Pokémon, Master of Creation and Leader of the Legendary Council has made Equus a new home for his Pokémon hoping to give them a fresh start and escape the Darkness and evils of Earth and protect his children.

But little does he know that Equus has been in the crosshairs of Darkness for One Thousand Years.

Oryx, The Taken King, First Navigator, Lord of Shapes, and harrowed God has come to Equus to avenge the death of his son who was killed by the Princesses. With his army and his fleet at his disposal he arrives at the planet only to find resistance in the form of creatures known as Pokémon, united in an effort to defend their new home.

But what Arceus and the people of Equus don't realize, its that Oryx is called the "The Taken King" for a reason.

And the answer will horrify everyone involved.

Non-Canon Wayverse Crossover with Destiny.

Takes place after the end of Book 1 in the Wayverse

Note to Pokemon fans: knowledge of Destiny is not required to read this. I'll take care of that :D

Prologue and Chapters 1-3 Edited byScript and metallusionsismagic

EDIT: Made the Popular Stories list!

Aksis wanted power. He remembered the days when the Eliksni were more than just scavengers, were forces to be reckoned with. Then the Great Machine left them for dead. Luckily, him and his Devil Splicers found the solution. SIVA. An insanely powerful technology made by the humans but locked away for reasons unknown, this supermatter could, when programmed, transform anything. The Splicers used it to transform themselves.

When a group of Guardians attempts to kill Aksis, but fails, in their last ditch attempt to survive they unleash the power of a long forgotten Golden Age relic. Aksis is killed. Or so they thought. Now transported to the land of Equestria with a handful of Splicer forces, Aksis must survive.

Based off of Destiny: Rise of Iron
Tags will be added as needed.

DISCLAIMER: Do all Crossover stories have to have disclaimers? Nevertheless, it is blatantly obvious I do not own My Little Pony or Destiny. Those rights go to Hasbro and Bungie, respectively.

Hunters.

Famous for their daring and ingenuity, they're invaluable scouts when it comes to dangerous and hostile lands.

Masters of the frontier, they once roamed the land and made their own fortunes...

Now, this Hunter must live up to this reputation when he finds himself in a new and foreign land.

His light will be tested, and he will be made stronger.

I do not own destiny.

Crossover: MLP/Destiny (game)

The Guardians stand as the last of humanity's defense against forces of Darkness that seek to destroy everything. Guardians know their mission is to protect Earth, but the Darkness threatens to spread to other realms, to grow more powerful and spell doom for humankind.

A young Warlock takes her duties to a world beyond, and finds that this new world is much more connected to her own than she thought. New enemies, new allies, and new friends; Lexine will seek to discover the secrets of this magical land and the answers behind her very existence.

She must -- to save both worlds.

[Set before the events of TTK; MLP FiM "Twilight's Kingdom"]

Immortality. It's said to be the ultimate achievement. The negation of the one true hinderance to all forms of life, the binding and unifying factor that every mortal being shares. Those who are without it, wish for it. Yet those who have it... They wish it gone. For while eternal life stands as a tribute to an infinite amount of triumphs, it harbours one simple truth. Immortality isn't living forever, it's everyone you love vanishing around you.

For some this is of little concern, for they are without the bonds of friendship and affection. Why worry about the longevity of loved ones that don't exist? Others fight to keep those they care about alive, betraying all reason in the name of a struggle against the cosmic rule of entropy. Many simply retreat from sight, becoming recluse, hidden and forgotten. Yet the last archetype, they do nothing of the sort, for they have not yet exceeded their mortal lives. They are determined, free from the strife of a million year existence. These beings turn desperation into action, travesty into opportunity. Darkness, into light.

When all seems lost, all it takes is one final effort, a stand against impossible odds. And that's what guardians are best at, isn't it?

If large scale crossovers aren't really your thing then I'd advised you to read no further into this story. This is a Destiny/Halo/Mlp crossover, the lore of each universe will be changed to fit the flow of the story. Some changes may be small but many are rather large. Prior knowledge of each universe is very much recommended, although I will try my best to write it in a way that is enjoyable for everyone. As it stands this is also my first fan-fiction, so constructive criticism is not only welcome but encouraged. Any ideas regarding changes or upcoming chapters are also welcome. Thanks.

Another note, this interpretation of the Destiny universe will not take into account any of the events following on from the original game. If this causes anyone to lose interest I fully understand. Just thought I'd let you know what you're getting into.

Final note from 5 years after the original publishing of this story, I recently put this back up after a period of 2 years unpublished because I recieved requests from people wanting to read it again. I don't plan to continue this version of this story, however if in the future I find myself with more free time, I may make an attempt at rewriting it, bringing it into the modern era if you will. Until that potential day, I hope you enjoy this wild trip back to 2016.

For as long as the oldest of them could remember, the Guardians had defended what remains of humanity against the forces lurking in the dark. With gun, blade and the Traveller's Light, the heroes born of Earth put themselves between the monsters from the void and those too weak to fight back. Human, Awoken, Exo; the physical coil of the Guardian had never truly mattered so long as they were willing and capable of defend their homeworld.

Until a Guardian came from the wastes that was neither Human, Awoken or Exo; a Guardian not born of Earth.
