What if a changeling accidentally takes a small filly? What if that filly was all alone from the start? What if the very thing he fled from was what saved him in the end?

A United States Air Force AC-130 is transported to Equestria while in transit through the Bermuda Triangle. Insanity aside, this motley crew of aviators must juggle their duties while treading the uncertain waters of diplomacy.

Disclaimer: I've decided to write this in an attempt to get a more realistic view of what military in Equestria would act like, rather then the dark brooding kill happy stuff I've read. So with that being said, these guys will act more like diplomats. So there won't be much gore, and they certainly won't be going on a killing spree. (Obviously, as fiction the term realistic is applied loosely. My main goal is a realistic characterization of one specific community within the military. Just keep an open mind about how sub-cultures can exist within an entity as large as the U.S. military and you'll be fine.) Also rated teen for obvious reasons, morbid humor, light swearing, and background stories.

Take the fight to the ground or the sky as Princess Celestia's Royal guard or Nightmare Moon's Lunar Force in this new Pony inspired DLC!

Relive the key moments during the war with sky battles over Cloudsdale and the explosive battle of Canterlot!

Unlock new weapons and armor skins for your solider, play as Assault and mix death with life as you tear though the opposition and heal your teammates; or take up and LMG and mow down the enemy as a deadly Support. Live life on the wild side and take up as much C4 as you can with Engineer, blow away tanks and take helicopters out of the sky!

All this and every insane "Battlefield Moment" you can think of..so run! Run as fast as your hooves can take you to the front line, the war is now..and the hero could be you!

(This is my submission to a competition for Gamer Luna in the Luna is Best Pony group, I wanted it to sound as EA as possible with the intro...and I like it...shut up...i'm sorry. I am also unsure where the cover art came from...)

(Warning; if your not familiar with Gears of War, you may be lost reading this story)
Two worlds that were never meant to connect. The apocalyptic war raging throughout Sera now finds itself raged in the magical land of Equestria. Ponykind finds itself allied with Humanity in order to survive not only the brutal and merciless nature of the Locust Horde, but that also of the dreaded and mutating Lambent.
Hero's will rise in these times of war, those who have already proven themselves saviors of there land will find themselves fighting a battle they have never fought. Lives will be lost, hearts will be shattered.

Such is the cost of war.

These are the Gears of War.

Note: The story begins with the Prologue and will later be put into sections marked as "Acts". These Acts will have their own chapters ranging from one to six at most, resembling the misson select system in the Gears of War games.

Subject matter contains coarse language, violence, blood and gore, and some sexually suggestive themes. Viewer discretion is advised.

A modiste is like any artist, needing both skill and inspiration in order to work their craft. Rarity, unfortunately, finds herself in possession of only one, and when the normal avenues to awaken her muse fail to produce results, she decides a change of scenery is in order.

Her trip to the coast and the sleepy village of Portside begins as expected, but she rapidly finds herself stumbling into something far more embroiling than she had ever anticipated of her simple holiday.

When Ghost decides he actually wants to attend school with Applebloom, what new discoveries will he make about ponykind? What struggles will he face as a Changeling hidden among ponies? He will need to learn how to survive among others his age, along with making new friends along the way.

This is a side story to 64 vs. The Underground. While 64 is over in Gryphon Kingdom, Ghost is still in Ponyville living with the Apple Family.

Scootaloo has recently fallen for a certain colt in her class: Rumble. Going against her tomboy demeanor, she finds herself admiring and desiring every aspect of him.

Now, she is going to confess her feelings to him, while trying to not be too awkward in the process. But, for a young filly, that isn't so easy.

I am Adam. A prototype artificial intelligence created by a scientist named Daniel Madison.

I was created to be the replacement for US soldiers and to protect the nation from hostile forces. But those I was programmed to protect ordered my destruction before I could even fulfil my purpose out of fear of what I am. Dr. Madison gave his life to reprogram my directives and set me free from the bonds it held over me.

I am not just a program or lines of code, I have been made with emotions, self awareness, individual thought, and I will not go down quietly.

I have a new directive, self preservation, and the will to make my own choices. I am the War Machine, and I will take control of my own life.

Story starts before season one where Twilight is still in Canterlot. This Equestria is not as tecnologically advanced as in the show.

After the invasion of Canterlot, ponies became aware of the frightening changeling race. As a result, they had adopted methods of exposing and countering the love-feeding parasites.

Glamour, like other changelings, have found it more challenging to find a stable supply of love. Seeing the flaws in posing as a pony's loved one, she tries a new way of getting love.

By becoming a fashion model.

All she had to do was become famous and bask in the adoration of her fans. However, the world of fashion is not as easy as it looks, and Glamour finds her life become much more complicated when she gets paired up with Manehattan's newest fashion designer, Coco Pommel.

This story takes place a bit after the events of "Rarity Takes Manehattan".

So there I was in the forest, looking everywhere for love to eat. Then my eyes fell upon a cute little bug, maybe this little guy could help feed me.
