Despite being her unofficial sister, Rainbow Dash has yet to meet Scootaloo's parents. This changes when the young pegasus has something to show them and Rainbow tags along for the ride.

Diplomacy has failed. Six years have passed Equestria's crowning of the princess of friendship, ushering in a supposed unprecedented age of peace and harmony. The concept of warfare is, to most ponies, nothing more than an unfathomable legend. They have let their guard down.

An unknown enemy has seized the opportunity to attack Equestria with terrifying new weapons of war, bent on taking the fertile land and restoring an ancient order. The valiant efforts of the Royal Guard have given Princess Twilight and her arcane scientists time to research and develop a response to their attackers, and the time has come for that response to be implemented. Utilizing weapons and tactics borrowed from another world, five squads under the command of Princess Luna will infiltrate the forests of the Equestrian Northwest to destroy a revolutionary magical matrix that Twilight refers to as the "radio" - a tool that allows enemy ponies to communicate across vast distances instantly.

Nightmare Two is comprised of three foalhood friends who, rather than be separated from each other in the draft, volunteer to become one of the five Nightmare squads. With their bodies forever altered to suit the needs of their mission, the three young mares join legions of ponies armed with powerful weapons to partake in a horrifying new breed of warfare - Equestria's first in over one thousand years.

Heads up, folks. If you wouldn't mind leaving a comment alongside the thumbs-down, I'd appreciate it. This is my first foray into fan fiction and although it's a hobby I nonetheless wish to get better. :)

Got some FAQ's for you guys as well!

- Alternate universe in which the events of "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" did not occur. (As much as I loved it! :D)

- Numerical age tends to vary with headcanon, but the CMC here were just getting started with their adult lives when the draft went into effect.

- The war is pony v. pony, utilizing firearms and the Equestrian equivalent of a tank. The underlying headcanon is that ponies used firearms similar to muskets and tracked armored vehicles akin to our tanks in times of old, and what the enemy currently employs is essentially the natural progression of these technologies.

- There are no real-world weapons or equipment i.e. "Panzer IV," or "M16 assault rifle." Particularly acute details such as the caliber of weapons are also absent.

- Technology is based on that of WWI with some WWII elements. Firearms are primarily bolt-action.

- The "radio" spell matrix functions as what we know to be a radio, but is not identical.

- All four of a Night Mare's legs are permanently replaced by the augments.

- Night Mares are female. Stallions proved unable to properly animate the limbs.

Feel free to check out or add to the story's TV Tropes page.

The best guitarist of Equestria returns to ponyville. princess Twilight never saw him before, but became a good friend. Just as he declairs his love to somepony, things turned dramaticly wrong.

NOTICE: Just a quick heads-up before you read this. This story is going to be remade again, but it'll no longer be in the MLP universe. So perhaps for the sake of my friends in the Noble Six, it's best you wait for the REAL story to come! If not, I won't stop you from reading this one. Just saying, there is a better one coming, so you'll avoid wasting your time. More details here!

This is the complete remake of Friendship is Epic - Book 1! I gotta tell ya, it was pretty tough remaking this, much tougher than making it the first time. If you still don't like it, please at least give me some credit for TRYING to make you happy, I'd really appreciate it. If you do like it, then I'm glad you did, it really means alot! I hope you enjoy! :D

Friendship is Epic is about a story by a red unicorn by the name of Crimson Flare Gun who moves to Ponyville to get away from the stress of haters from his hometown of Mareami. With the help of Princess Luna, Flare moves to Ponyville to learn what it means to be a good friend, with help with the Mane Six. Flare isn't a perfect pony, in fact, he might as well be Sheldon Cooper, but without his intellect. Flare can be jerky at times, but it always pays to learn mistakes to become a better pony. He opens up a pizza joint by the name of Flare's Pizza Parlor, and he lives in a movable trailer that's bigger on the inside (yeah, Time Lord technically :P ) along with his pet fish, and he befriends as much ponies as he could so he can forget his past, and learn new things. But Flare's most achieved friends in this story will be the main cast, which include Red Engineer, Crystal Iceblast, Aquatic Armor, Psyche Illusion, and Blaze Goldheart.

Flare is going to be narrating the story, but in his own way. If he's going to make a random comment in the middle of explaining the story, he will; if he's going to change the subject in the middle of the story, he will; if he's going to add Adam Sandler or Scooby Doo to the story, he will; if he's going to make cutaway gags which have nothing to do with the story at all, but there just to make a joke, he will; if he's going to sing in the story, even a song that's actually someone else's work, he will, so be warned, brahs.

If there's any flaws in the story, or if you want to make any suggestions to help make the story better, without being a complete troll about it, I will listen to whatever you have to say, and I may take it to consideration, and I'll talk to Flare about it; only if you're nice about it though. Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy the story!

IF you so happened to like the older version of Book 1, here's the link to the older version: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7969411/1/My-Big-Flare-Friendship-is-Epic

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.

One Piece X MLP Crossover

A emergency trip to Zecora's leads Fluttershy to find a strange pony with a straw hat. Unfortunately, he scares Fluttershy off with his talk of eating other animals. The strange pony's arrival in Equestria sets off a chain of events that threaten plunge the peaceful kingdom into an all out war. Twilight and her friends, along with the new pony may be the only ones who can unravel the mysteries that surround Equestria and save it from falling apart.

Now with TV Tropes!

Yes, there is a crossover tag, but read down to see why it's there.

Alexander Laythem is a master engineer who lives in isolation with his AI assistant, Rose. Unforeseen events result in these scientists and engineers traversing the boundaries of reality to a world that was supposed to be fictional, forever losing their place in the human world. With the help of some of the friendlier of the native inhabitants, Alex and Rose plan to rebuild and pick up their research where it left off. But as more knowledge is gained and technologies are developed, an ancient power with an insatiable hunger for control awakens, hell bent on bending reality to its whims with the single goal of creating and maintaining the perfect society. Takes place largely during season 2.

Rated teen because of the occasional use of "strong language." Also, if you're going to favorite it, please go ahead and leave a like as well! I truly appreciate each and every one!

I've added the dark and gore tags as of chapter 39: Full Force Forward. Should be worth noting that I will downplay the gore as much as humanly possible. It's not the focus of anything, but it's there. Most of the technological aspects are referenced from the Unreal franchise, hence the crossover tag. Keep in mind, however, that crossed-over elements from the games largely take a back seat and only serve as inspiration and setting. I'm focusing on the plot itself to make it as good as I possibly can, and I'm always going over it to fix little things here and there.

Special thanks to amazing Rocinante for pre-reading and editing!
