Ever since she's made the trip to an alternate Equestria multiple times, twilight has begun to think heavily about the portal. Is it just a connection between the two dimensions or are there more connection to more worlds that can be made. After a long time of theorizing and discussing it with Sunset Shimmer she decided to set up an experiment to test her hypothesis. In the presence of her friends, her brother, Discord, and fellow princesses she begins the experiment which in the end has dazzling and explosive results. In the aftermath they discover that beings have made their way through the portal and that they are just a bit different from the norm that they know. They're a bit more defensive, more fight-y, more...quirky? With the portal being in need of repair they can't immediately send them back and so hopefully the new arrivals will be able to wait patiently while it's being fixed. And maybe in that time they can show Equestria just exactly who they are and what they stand for while they watch over and protect creatures of a world not their own from a dangerous force using something they might recognize

A/N: This is based on the Koala patches of the indie game Starbound. The game has since seen a full release and things have changed. These changes will be nodded to, but otherwise do not appear in the story.

Princess Twilight Sparkle is given the honor of being the first pony on all of Equus to engage in interstellar travel. Her mission: to explore unknown space, discover new planets, find new life, boldly go where nopony has gone before, and report back her findings five years in the future.

Things go wrong during her flight, and she soon finds herself stranded above a planet many worlds away from her home, with no fuel and dwindling power. If she wants to survive, she has to gather resources from the planet below. She slowly starts to develop her survival skills, but along the way, she encounters a friend who can help.

Jack Thomas, a "human" from a planet called "Earth," happens to be exploring space as well, and he seems to have a head start in figuring out where exactly she's at. Together, the two of them set out to find a way to return Twilight to her home.

NOTICE: Gore will be minor, and will appear most prominently in later chapters.

Floran: a vicious plant based humanoid that dwell in almost every corner of the galaxy. They have only one thing on their mind. Equestrians, a pony-like race that live on a single plant.

An intelligent and somewhat literate Floran's ship breaks down in the space around Equestria, with no fuel or means of repairing. It's captain has no choice to beam down to the surface and attempt find a means to repair the ship.

A kind of Starbound cross-over. Mainly because recently I have gotten back into Starbound. Will add and put in characters depending on where this goes. Also, expect a lot of long drawn out words that end or start with S, mainly due to how Floran speak.

The land of Equestria was always one filled with light and positivity, but the darkness has been amassing, the Sin, embodiments of the evil of ponies' hearts and souls, have struck, many ponies have died, and only 4 centers of civilization remain, Canterlot, Ponyville, Bearussia, and Neigh York, the last vestiges of hope for ponykind, and they are mere motes of substance waiting to be consumed.

Princess Luna, a powerful mare who has seen first-hoof into the abyss of darkness and evil, has used her and her sister Celestia's magic to summon warriors of light, heroes that will save the land of Equestria.

She was expecting 1, 2, maybe 3 tops, and if Lady Luck was on her side, 4, but she received, not 5 or even 6, but 15 fighters to help this task.

That's not what was surprising about them, what was surprising about them was that they were not even ponies.

Ta-da! My first story!

(The following story contains elements of Rooster Teeth's series, RWBY. For those readers who do not know what RWBY is about, it can be simply summed up as a show about a group of friends that attend and live on campus at a school that trains monster hunters.)

One day, Team RWBY receives a strange mirror from the local Dust shop in Vale. Meanwhile, in Ponyville, Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Mane 6 are studying both the box from the Tree Of Harmony and the Mirror from the Crystal Empire to see if there is a possible connection between the two.

After both RWBY and the Mane 6 realize they can see one another in the mirror, Nora dives right in, with the rest of the girls not far behind.

When Remnant's youngest Huntress' in training arrive in Ponyville they find that one small detail has changed.

They're now ponies.

However, what seems like a burden to the girls what actually be the key to saving Ponyville and Equestria from a alliance of Remnant's foes and Equestria's villains. Both the Mane 6 and RWBY will need to team up if they want to take down this league of evil.

Looking for Editors and or Pre-Readers! Any grammar help is greatly appreciated.

To note: I realize I'm not the first person to think of doing a crossover between MLP and RWBY. However, I wanted a story that plays to both series strengths: RWBY's high intensity action and MLP's characterization. My hope is that this story is the combination of both without ruining either series charm.

Merasmus has had enough. He has been defeated too many times, labeled as insane, and has do deal with soldiers antics. Well he has had enough, he opens a portal from his bombonomicon and jumps through in hopeing to find a place filled with peace. He finds a world filled with ponies, can be finally have some peace and quiet, or will he go crazy and destroy equestria.

The Battlefield Friends are sent to Equestria by an explosion, instead of respawning on the same battlefield they've come to know over the past years they end up in Equestria.

A full-scale war is bound on Equestria. Luna is sure they won't win this time. Celestia has a plan. She's hired nine mercenary creatures called humans to fight for them. They have a good reputation. But maybe, they're a bit crazy. But even then, they will do anything to save a race of innocent ponies.

This story was written back when I was really into TF2 and current MLP canon kind of ruins this story. I could stick with story canon, but it will be a big writing pain to do, I'm not sure if this will ever continue.

This story is a sequel to Fortresshy: The Nine Fathers

Fluttershy has returned to Equestria after being temporally displaced to another world, where she was raised by a loving but insane family. She didn't return alone, though. Her new family came back with her, now working for Princess Luna, their new Fortress being built near to Ponyville. All involved would need time to adjust.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one, pony or human. Still, the former RED Team - now Team RED MOON - is used to handling craziness. After all, they live under the same roof.

Part of the PWNY-verse.

Edit: New fan art by G_Haze, who also did the cover art!

"Twilight, I'm sure you and the girls will be able to look after them. After all, they can't be that bad, right?"

When curiosity gets the better of Twilight, she summoned forth the Freaks.
When confusion overtook the Freaks, they realized they weren't at home.
When they weren't at home, they'd need to be looked after.
When looking after them, they must be fed.
Painis Cupcake was not fed.
He will eat you.

Heh, just thought it might be funny to see how the ponies would respond to different TF2 Freaks. After all, GentleSpy living with somepony with equally high tastes can only end well for my writing skills, correct?
