The charming prequel to A Twilight Sparkle Story

The short tale of how I was trapped in a diabolical plot by a certain purple pony, and conclusive evidence that Twilight Sparkle may in fact be deranged.

Solid, like a rock.

Stoic, like a rock.

Fearless, like a rock.

Boring, like a rock.

These are the traits instilled into a Royal Guard in his or her training. These are also the traits of the Unicorn soldier named Aegis Barrier.

He wasn't all that different from the other guards, yet there seemed to be something not so normal about him. He always took matters into his own hooves if somepony else could not. On the day of Nightmare Moon's return , The Royal Guard had failed to protect their Princess. Aegis however, refused to fail. He arrives at Everfree where an injured Twilight was, where he provides his own assistance as a Royal Guard. After a change of events happen, he is ordered to stay in Ponyville to rest until summoned for further orders. Even though he doesn't know it, he's been added silently to their ring of friendship.

It's another take following season 1, I'm not sure if I should make it a one shot seeing as I'm still working on my other story. Tags will be added along the way.

Bored one evening, Discord suggests to Celestia that they spice things up by seeing who's best at doing the other's job: he'll handle keeping things harmonious, and she'll be there to throw a big ol' spoonful of chaos into the mix whenever she feels like it. To his surprise, she agrees to do it. He's certain he's got this one in the bag—after all, how hard can something as boring as harmony be?

He shouldn't have underestimated his opponent.

Someone actually thought this fic was worthy to be in the Twilight Library. Well... if you say so.

Twilight was on the road to recovery from her mental illness. She had started a new treatment, bonded with the staff, and had many friends in her ward. Now she wakes up in the center of the delusions she has been trying so hard to escape: Ponyville.

Blacklight had the truth. He knew what he was. He knew Alex was dead, and that he was never human. He knew that Dana was never his sister, and that he was never even slightly related to her. He knew that there was nothing tying him to Dana, no real memories or biological similarities or even species based empathy. For some reason, Blacklight loves Dana like a sister he doesn’t have.

Perhaps this is what keeps him tame when he is brought into a place he does not belong. A scenario where a being of chaos and war brought to a place of harmony and peace is not often a pretty one. Yet with Dana there, somehow he manages not to go berserk and start murdering everything in sight.

Now the Monster of Manhattan contemplates his place in the world, lies to his sister and the ponies, and questions his lack of empathy when he begins to feel remorse for his actions. He is beginning to miss the simple times where the only things he had to deeply contemplate were methods of horrifically mutilating armies with the maximum amount of efficiency. At least that was straightforward.

(This fic operates under the assumption that Prototype 2 and its tie-in comics never existed. If you really have to ask yourself why, play the first game, then play the second game. The reasons should become apparent.)

(Well I'll be damned. Front page on the first day. Thank you all for your support!)

(Well, enough of you seem to think this is funny enough to be a dark comedy, so I added a comedy tag. I have to warn you though, I'm not entirely certain as to how consistent the comedy will be. So don't come into this expecting the wacky misadventures of a murderous psychopath.)

My day started off normal, as normal as a singer's life can be.

However, just before a concert, I seem to get whisked away by something in my dressing room to a place full of ponies. Magical, talking, pastel ponies nonetheless. If they can use magic, asking to get home should be no problem, right?

Except it is.

For I am now a cat.

This story is a sequel to Dash of Humanity

I'm stuck in Equestria, which reminds me of the dark ages. Instead of internet and fast-food, I have Rainbow Dash. She's been asked to help me learn to fit in... I'd like a refund.

I suppose we got off to a good start, aside from being told that after all I'd done I'd never see Earth again. So long as I can look on the bright side of life, and not get arrested for running pranks on everypony with Dash, I might just survive long enough to find my purpose in Equestria. So help me, however, if I get any vegetable related cutie marks I will choke a Princess.
