Same universe as my story, The Sandstorm King.
Harmony reigned not only in Equestria, but across the sea and in most countries. Certainly, skirmishes, disagreements, and short wars happened, but they were far from Equestria and her creatures. Now, though, one political move causes a collapse of all peacefulness, and all the alliances made across many countries come to defend and attack each other. Nobeast can stop it, and it's the perfect breeding ground to awaken an ancient, all-consuming threat. Is Love or Friendship still powerful? How can Harmony save this one? Who will be left alive in the end?

This story is a sequel to Twilight Gets a Puppy, Season 6

The Sparkles have just finished a year long prank war with Celestia by order of ... pretty much everyone that currently exists and a few who don't, but this filler season brings more problems. Though the battle for Rahs' heart heats up, the cutiemark crusaders kick it into high gear to get Sweetiebelle her mark, Sunset sets things on fire, Pinkie Pie, there's another God Summit coming, an ancent pain in the ass returns, and some pony gets proposed to, all in this filler season of Twilight Gets a Puppy.

The cutie Mark crusaders can't take it anymore. People telling them what to do, how they will never get their cutie marks, being blank flanks forever and how everybody ignores them and doesn't understand their pain. Normally they would try to forget about it and not listen to them but this day and this time it was different.

This story is a sequel to And Hell Followed

A plague ravaged Equestria, turning all of the unicorns and alicorns into bloodthirsty monsters bent on killing all the other races in a genocidal rage. A small cadre lead by the Elements of Harmony survived and persisted in Ponyville, and even managed to reverse it all at the cost of their lives.

Now Equestria must rebuild.

In Manehattan, Twilight Sparkle and Princess Luna must find a way to ease racial tensions while keeping the teetering nation safe and also rebuilding the lost trust of the little ponies of Equestria. Elsewhere, Cheerilee and Scootaloo must find their way in this new world.

There are only two options left. Rebuild Equestria stronger than ever, or be scattered to the winds of history.

"Ponies with magical powers? And I thought the Jedi were weird..." - OOM-5264

Shortly after General Kalani and his sentient droid soldiers managed a desperate escape from Agamar and fled the system, the super tactical droid soon made the decision to try and re-build the separatist alliance, this time not influenced and dominated by the sith or the corrupt business leaders, instead serving it's true purpose, a bastion of freedom and liberty, free of corruption and suffering. Kalani, now dead-set on his goal, set course for the planet Bracca, having located a scrapyard filled with confederate vessels, and after arriving, activating a large dormant army of droids and the Providence Class Dreadnought Blade of Serenity they were aboard, Kalani ordered his newly activated droids to set course for a new world to hide from the empire and build their forces... And upon finding this world, Kalani observed the natives, and determined that this world would be the first building block to rebuilding the Confederacy.

This story is heavily inspired by Logic and Friendship. Roger! Roger!, as well as Ponies and Lasers and Clankers, Oh My!

Rainbow Dash is widely known for her propensity for pranks. While seeing an unsuspecting Anonymous the human in the outskirts of Ponyville, Rainbow decides to hit him with classic from her arsenal, the ol' lightning stomp prank. It's simply really, she's played it on tons of ponies before.

'What have I done?!

Officially Featured March 1st 2023

Twilight Sparkle is invited to a party that Pinkie Pie is throwing. In fact, everyone is! It's a huge blowout and everyone in Equestria is invited. Twilight is dancing and smiling, greeting all her favorite foals, having one of the best nights of her life, but an unexpected cataclysmic disaster befalls the ponies. Spike, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie are nowhere to be found. In her quest for the truth and unearthing the mystery of the big Showroom Catastrophe, Twilight comes to realize that she can trust no one. She comes to realize that horrible things can happen to anyone at any time and it doesn't matter if you take all the right precautions, it doesn't matter if you are diligent about knowing the facts, it doesn't matter if you're careful, it doesn't matter if you're powerful. This world will take from you without mercy and will destroy everything. It doesn't matter if you meticulously protect yourself and everyone around you. You can never be immune to chance, you can't control what happens outside of yourself no matter how hard you try. All her life, she's fought for control. She has been obsessed with directing her entire existence, but she knows now that all of it was for nothing. Her whole identity thrown recklessly into a shredder and decimated before her very eyes. All she wants is control.

All she wants is control. But... she can't control what happens. She can't control other ponies, and she can't control the horrific consequences of other ponies' actions in her life. She can only control herself. She can only control herself.

Inspired by 'Shouldnt have enslaved humanity', written by NoobMaster69, as well as a Hearts of Iron 4 mod called 'Beyond Earth'.

Humanity is surprising in many ways. When most expected it to die out from infighting and chaos, it somehow survived, and now, it thrives. Global conflicts, economic and ecological disasters, near-extinction level events and collapses, all of them overcome, all thanks to the undying spirit and will of Humanity. Every challenge thrown their way has been overcome, and they have endured.

However, when a cataclysmic event of immense proportions approaches Earth, Humanity must find a way to preserve their race. And when they re-emerge from the remains of the old world, they find a world not just foreign and unknown, but hostile to them. But like the legendary Phoenix, through it's ingenuity and unity....

Humanity shall once again rise from the ashes.
