This story is a sequel to Kingdom of Friendship

Twilight became a princess, the Elements of Harmony were returned to the Harmony Tree, and the Heartless have returned. Now it is up to her to take the Keyblade once more and see what she can do to save, not only Equestria, but a whole different world and bring peace to a third.

Overthrowing a tyrant, killing some heartless, and making new friends. Just another day for Twilight Sparkle.

I recommend reading the first story before this one, and I also think that reading my other story "Guard Bonding". Human tag is for eventual visit to a surprise world for Kingdom Hearts fans. DarkponyD is the one to thank if you like the world once it is visited. He helped me out a lot with that, without him, I might still be stuck there.

Tempest, Raid, and Twister are guards that grew up together since they were only foals. Two pegasi and a unicorn that join the Royal Guard in hopes of protecting ponies and keeping order. A rule change pertaining to the number of guards in a squad is made, forcing them to increase their ranks by one. A pony named Rogue Wind is forced to join this tightly knit group.

This is a single entry Slice of Life story that is going to introduce a few characters that will be appearing in the sequel to my story "Kingdom of Friendship." I am still writing on the sequel, but these characters I felt needed a back story that I couldn't put into the main story.

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one day and her whole life is gone. Her friends are missing and there are monsters roaming the streets of every town throughout Equestria. What can she do to save her missing friends? And if she does, will her life ever be able to go back to the way it was before?

Twilight begins an epic journey to save her friends from the endless hordes of Heartless. (Note: you don't need to know anything about Kingdom Hearts to read this. This theory has been tested by a group of my friends who know nothing of the game series. Regardless, I recommend the games to everyone, for there are many little Easter Eggs that I've hidden :D)

I am looking for a proofreader, to try and help me with my revisions. I am going back and looking at, and rereleasing each existing chapter of this series, as well as the ones that have yet to be released, making them all into the same format.

Omigoshomigoshomiosh! I was on the featured stories thing! Thank you all so much! You're the best!!
Also, there are some spoilers in the comments, so if you don't want to see them, avoid that section until you are caught up.

Twilestia fanfiction!

Celestia is more than a millenium old, and with that comes much sadness and regret. Ponies are ever-transient in her life, and she hasn't had a real friend until Twilight Sparkle came along. Therein lies the crux of the matter: Celestia has always loved her faithful student, in one manner or another, but, recently, it's become markedly more . . . ehem, non-platonic. Little does she know, Twilight feels the same about her! But Celestia's extreme depression might ruin any chance for her to find happiness. Meanwhile, Luna is as devious and plotting as ever, ready with silly antics determined to push the two princesses into each other's arms!

Will true love rule the day just as true, true friendship? Or will depression suck the life right out of old cakebutt? Or will Luna's mischievous schemes prove to be just the push that's needed? Or will Twilight herself save the day once again?

Nopony knows just yet!!

This was partially inspired by this rant: Twilestia Akin to Pedophilia?!

Twilight lives a comfortable, expected life with the security of being surrounded by her mentors and friends. As she grows into a model unicorn, a dangerous being takes hold of the volatile Brood and drives them to war, breaking a long period of peace. After years of preparation for a higher order, Twilight is chosen to ascend beyond that of a typical sorcerer in a mysterious plan to counter the impending conflict.

During her dark, trying mission Twilight will discover a caged soul and unknowingly set them free, gradually acquiring an affinity for the darkness as a result. As she struggles within deepening conflict, she must push on and fight for what she believes in. With manipulation, deceit, and betrayal storming around, will she be able to contain herself and protect those she loves, or will she succumb to the creeping darkness and abandon everything she stands for?

*Warning: Comments may contain spoilers.*

Mystery. Love. Magic. Murder. Truth. These are all important elements in the murder mystery Fluttershy has written, and is now asking Twilight to read. But the novel stars 'Twilight Sparkle', and she wrestles with the metafictional dissonance involved in reading a novel about herself and her friends. Twilight must do her best to solve the mystery, reconcile her own feelings about this ordeal, and figure out just what Fluttershy is trying to say by writing all of this in the first place as the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur.

This is a thematic crossover with the visual novel 'Umineko No Naku Koro Ni.' No prior knowledge of Umineko should be necessary.

Collab with The Abyss (Chapters 1 and 2)

Proofread by Neko Majin C and edited by The Abyss (Chapters 3 onwards)

Twilight Sparkle has always ignored Hearts and Hooves Day, seeing it as just another normal day with extra chocolate and the occasional broken-hearted friend to comfort. But when Rarity convinces her that not having a date during the holiday is contrary to proper princess protocol, Twilight rushes to do everything in her power to live up to the expectations presented to her.

There’s just one problem, though: Twilight has never been on a proper date before.

After a few rather disastrous attempts to find a date in Ponyville, Twilight goes to her mentor in Canterlot in a last ditch effort in the hopes of finding the answers she seeks. Princess Celestia, however, may have something more for her than either of them had anticipated.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It was a show that so many loved, so many hated, so many were indifferent about, and so many knew nothing of. But now, it's over. The show has run its course.

Twilight apparently didn't get the memo.

This story is a sequel to Queen No More

Twilight Sparkle made the most foolish and selfless decision possible. She saved the life of Queen Chrysalis. The dynamics of Twilight's relationships begin to change as Chrysalis introduces the changeling hivemind to her pony caretaker. Chrysalis' only hope was to relieve her loneliness, but events begin to unfold that will change Equestria forever.

Nothing is stronger than the power of redemption...

NOTES
1. This is the sequel to Queen No More but there is a time jump between its end and Hive Alive's beginning.
2. This is Alternate universe due to the fact that this story will run off of a disparate timeline. Events forward of season 2 may be similar OR significantly altered.
3. There is mention in Chapter 3 of an old changeling tale titled As a Star. A version of this has been written by Farseer.

NO MORE UPDATES: The story is complete. A sequel has been made: Queen of Equestria.

The royal wedding is saved but at what cost? There was more to the changeling attack than was apparent and Twilight begins to wonder if it was all as black and white as it seemed. Queen Chrysalis was defeated and her rule was taken from her. With no food and no allies, she is doomed to the dreary fate she had always feared. When faced with potential tragedy, Twilight has to make one of the scariest decisions of her life. Does she help the dying changeling or leave her to her "just" end?

Continued in Hive Alive!
