Being seniors at Canterlot High has some advantages. For the fall semester, Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle won't actually be at CHS. Instead, the girls made it into a competitive foreign exchange program, which is sending them to Tokyo for the semester! Having taken Japanese as their foreign language credits, the girls joined the exchange program to open themselves up to a broader world.

Among the many experiences the exchange program exposed the girls to is the newest and hottest technology, the NerveGear, which brings virtual reality to a whole new level. Sword Art Online, also known as SAO, is the premier game soon to be released for the NerveGear. With their new friend, Ota Natsuki, they scored limited copies and get to be some of the 10,000 players to first experience Aincrad, but SAO is more than a game.

The girls are trapped, along with the other 10,000 players, by Akihiko Kayaba, the developer of the NerveGear and SAO. To get out, they must conquer Aincrad, floor by floor, until they beat the final boss in the Ruby Palace at it's summit. Then they all will be freed, however, if you die in the game, you die in real life.

The girls must band together with their new friend and face Aincrad, not just for themselves, but for all of the other players who can't take on such a challenge. After all they have been through, beating demons and sirens, a game should be easy, right?

EQG: Sword Art Online - Ruby Palace is not a sequel to EQG:SAO - Aincrad and, likewise, Ruby Palace is not a "rewrite". I chose to follow SOA Canon in Aincrad, placing the girls inside those events. Ruby Palace is a full crossover and Alt-U between EQG and SAO.

The Vignette Arcs are not required reading to follow the story, but they are recommended. The Pilot Episodes are the official start of the story.

Flash Sentry has come to accept that in a world now full of magic, someone like him is nothing more than a side character despite how much they want to help. He's sent to live a life of boring mediocrity, until one unexpectedly strange day. From out of nowhere, a pod comes crashing down to earth. And inside is a device that will change Flash's life forever. The Omnitrix.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Sparkling Harmony

NOTE: As mentioned above, this is a sequel to Sparkling Harmony. I highly recommend if you haven't already, go check that out first before reading this one. Don't worry, this story will wait for you.

Sparkler's finally found a place to call home. After so many years of being made to think she was a freak, She finally found herself among friends who think otherwise. It was a bumpy road coming out, but she's faced her fears and now she is free to be herself. And she's even developed a crush on the princess of friendship. Things are DEFINITELY looking up.

But she'll soon learn that the discovery of another Alicorn, one who is NOT royalty, will not sit well with certain ponies among the Canterlot Elite. And things will get even more complicated when she meets a foal one night in an alleyway.

What's next for our heroine and her parrot friend? Only time will tell.

If you like the story, how about an upvote? If this story gets 75 likes I'll release the third chapter of the side story set in the Sparkling Harmony universe. Like if you want to see that.

AU Changes:

Celestia and Luna never retire.

PS. If you must leave a dislike, I would like to know WHY so I know what I'm doing wrong.

Across the Mirror in Twilight's Castle, The Main 7 defend against magical threats in Canterlot City. This is NOT their story despite Sci-Twi being a main Character.

No, THIS is the story not told. The story about the bigger picture. A story of an agent, armed with advanced gadgets and backed by elite specialists. When dangers in Canterlot City and beyond abound, this agent will answer the call. When she's not busy being a normal teenager of course.

This story takes after everything in EQG canon. So after holiday unwrapped and all that. And also Timber Spruce and Twilight are NOT together.

I will admit that I have not been THIS excited for a story since Future Incursion. This has been in the planning stages SINCE THE DAWN OF SPARKLING HARMONY! And you can bet your flanks this is going to be every bit as awesome, maybe even more awesome, than Pony Sparkling Harmony. I hope you enjoy this!
