The Ponyspawn have invaded Equestria, and it is up to the newest addition to the Grey Wardens, Twilight Sparkle, to find the means to drive them back! With her friends and allies at her side, can Twilight defeat the evil tide before all of Equestria is devoured?

The Sequel, Pony Age: Catalyst, is available.

Scootaloo has always wanted to be closer to Rainbow Dash. Well after an accident at Zecora's hut, Scootaloo's dream may come true.

Gold runs through my veins. At least that's what they told me. From birth, they would brag, I was destined for greatness. Is it wrong that I doubt that? There are so many ponies that are so fantastic at what they do best, what gained them the privilege to wear that symbol on their flank. I wasn't even close to greatness. I was pathetic.

Anniversaries are something all ponies celebrate, whether with dinners, parties, or just a quiet day at home. For a certain pegasus, they are something to be celebrated in a more complicated manner...

Elegance, beauty, grace. To Rarity this is the list of qualities that a mare must have in order to attract a fine stallion. Awesomeness, coolness, radicalness. To Rainbow Dash, twentie first century colts fall head over hooves for mares with these qualities. So when a little bet is put in place to decide who's right, the results leave a certain somepony stumbled.
Now Rarity is back in school, well Dash's school of awesome that is and she will do anything to learn.

A/N; Been working on this fanfic for a while (second one ever) just needed to spruce it up first. I'm trying to add as much comedy because I'm funny in real life (just believe me >.>) but when I write I'm really serious so... yeah. And well, I don't even, what... I have no idea what I'm doing in this fic >_<

Equestria lies shaken after a revolution, and it's leader comes to realize that she abandoned a world she cared about, for a world that never cared about her.

Looking for a way to give her reading ability a boost, Twilight's new spell is interrupted by a certain rainbow pegasus, causing it to backfire in an unexpected but hilarious way.

The mane six and Celestia have have gone to the human world for a camping trip...and Rainbow Dash cannot stand it.

One night, being unable to sleep, she wanders into the forest and gets a brilliant idea. Explore the human world! That would definitely be more fun than being stuck on this camping trip.

So, with Twilight's help, she disguises herself as a normal human girl and travels to New York City where she meets Jacklynn, a quirky, adventurous girl who takes her for a wild ride.

But, Rainbow is frequently reminded, by her element of loyalty, about her friends back at the campsite, and becomes unsure about her choice to leave them.

Meanwhile, Twilight is dealing with keeping Rainbow's secret, and not doing very well.

Can Rainbow shove past her insecurities and enjoy her stay? Or will she wuss out and go home? Will the others find out?

Why are you asking me? Read the story!

The Solar Empire.

That's how Equestria and its citizens came to be known under the rule of Princess Celestia, mover of the sun. Her rule was absolute, but not harsh. Everypony had their place, and everypony knew what that place was.

Luna, the mare of the moon, had returned from her thousand-year imprisonment as Nightmare Moon on the lunar surface. After her defeat in the ruins outside of Ponyville, she returned to being Luna and returned with her sister to once again take over her duties of raising the moon and owning the night.

But something festered in the heart of the night mare. She saw how there were classes of ponies that sat higher on the ladder just because of their race or bloodline. The unicorns, with their inherent magic, were favored most by the Princess. They and the pegasi with their cloudborne homes had more freedom and independence than the earth ponies who worked the land and inhabited much of Equestria...and Luna grew upset. Before she had become the jealous Nightmare Moon, everypony under the sun and moon were equal. Those who worked did for the betterment of all, and those who sought knowledge shared with everypony else.

For many years after her awakening at the hands of Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony, she brooded over these facts and did her duties as lifter of the moon. She watched as the ponies in Canterlot and all over Equestria became more and more separated...until one day she could no longer stand to watch her people be subjected to this.

Fleeing the Royal Palace and taking up residence in the ruins she fought in not all that long ago, she began recruiting ponies of all races and birth with promises of equality and a new future.

The New Lunar Republic was born.

Many ponies immediately divided between the two factions. Those loyal to Princess Celestia migrated towards Canterlot, eager to ensure their Princess and society stayed safe. The followers of Luna flocked to her ruins and the nearby town of Ponyville, making it their new capital as the New Lunar Republic officially seceded from the Empire.

Princess Celestia was saddened at these events, but a more shocking turn of events was yet to come. So idealistic were the Lunar citizens that they demanded that the Solar Empire disband, and all ponies would be included in the Republic as equals. This call was met by defiance by the Solar Empire, and three months after the initial demands, the New Lunar Republic declared war.

Families have been destroyed. Friendships have been torn apart as loyalties divided. Some ponies fled both factions, determined to make a living on their own in the wilderness of Equestria. Others have turned to more malicious tactics, hiring themselves out as mercenaries to whichever faction is paying more at the time.

For 6 ponies from Ponyville, this will be the hardest time of their lives. Ideologies and battle have torn them apart and spread them far from their homes.

War has come to Equestria. The Elements of Harmony are broken and scattered. Can these 6 ponies overcome their differences and unite to end this war? Or will the conflict be too much for them, leaving them bitter and resentful for the rest of their lives?

An ancient civilization vanishes without a trace. Who were they? What were they? Why did they disappear? Celestia's oldest friend sends her a letter that shocks her to the core and Twilight Sparkle is sent on a journey that will test the limits of endurance as she races against time to fulfill a plan thousands of years in the making.

From high mountain peaks to icy tundra plains. From jungles and forests to deserts without end. Will they make it through the endless stream of challenges? Will they defeat this menace from ages past? What will be the price of victory?
