His stories:
Ace Combat: The Equestrian War
Ace Combat: Wings of Unity

If you find any grammar or spelling mistakes, I apologize. English is my second language and I'm still not very good at it. (very)

The story takes place before the start of Season 3 of the MLP: FiM and it will focus more on the griffons rather than the ponies. The story takes several elements from Air Combat, Ace Combat 3, 04, Zero, 6, Northern Wings, and Infinity.

Just like PolishValsion's stories, there are music links on the chapters to provide a sense of atmosphere on the story. Just open up a new tab and listen while reading. This is purely optional of course.

This is a second story of the mini-series "Ace Combat: Equestria Chronicles". The story takes place during the third season of the show. However, I decided to exclude episodes after "Spike At Your Service" (since it is not specified when exactly they happen), mostly to avoid any additional drama regarding the Twilicorn or Discord interfering.

Like Ace Combat: The Equestrian War, this is not a direct adaptation of any Ace Combat game, but it will contain many references to the series, as well as to MLP: FiM itself. In particular, it contains elements and references from the following games:
- Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation
- Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception
- Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
- Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
- Ace Combat: Infinity
- Ace Combat: Joint Assault
- Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown

All chapters in this fic will contain links leading to themes from Ace Combat series. It's used to create an atmosphere. Use "Open in new tab" to listen to these themes.

Preceeded by a spin-off:
Ace Combat: Gryphon Wings

The Griffon Empire have had a near perfect campaign against Equestria, taking city and airfield with relative ease. Now on its last legs, Equestria places the fate of their future in the hooves of the Galm Team.

A/N: This is an Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War crossover. All planes and weapons are identical to the game. There is some cursing.

When Equestria is under attack by their griffon neighbors, one mare, along with a group of highly skilled fliers, will stop at nothing to reclaim their beloved country. Witness the war through the eyes of a young colt in occupied Canterlot, a desperate mother in search of her missing filly, and a cyan rainbow maned pegasus. Reader, you are clear for takeoff, for this is Ace Combat Equestria!

There are worlds outside our knowledge, and there are worlds inside ourselves. I have seen into these internal worlds. What I find there... is frightening. - Starswirl the Bearded

After world-changing technological achievements by international scientists are developed, plans are made to put the new generation of flying and transportation into use. Some of those plans, however, aren't that peaceful.

Fifty years later, Negotiations between the Solar Empire and New Lunar Republic are breaking down, and neutral countries soon find themselves under threat of invasion by either side. War is on the horizon. A world war is only too likely...

But across the Ocean, across Time and Space, A foreign Empire sets its own plan into motion...

The dazzlings: Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, and Aria Blaze have been defeated in the battle of bands. They are broken and with no mode of sustaining themselves until Adagio sees Sunset's magic book....

Three weeks after the events of Rainbow Rocks, the sirens are desperate. Without their hearts—the jewels that hold their magic—they have no power. They can't sing, can't manipulate people, and worst of all, can't feed. Their only hope is to restore their hearts, and they need to do it soon, before all three of them starve.

The problem is, they're not sure how to fix the hearts. All they've managed to figure out is that they'll need magic to do it, and magic is exactly what they don't have. Scared, starving, and completely out of options, the sirens turn to the last people who would ever want to help them, and the only ones who actually can: the Rainbooms.
