There exists an hour each day that goes inexperienced by everypony. An hour where both the Sun, and Moon are silent; Where dangerous living shadows thrive. Thankfully most ponies sleep through this "Midnight Hour", protected by a coffin, and blissfully unaware that such a time even exists. However when Twilight Sparkle receives an odd magical book, she finds herself experiencing this lost hour in time night after night. With no one to go to for fear of sounding crazy Twilight must unravel the secrets of the Midnight Hour, without putting her friends in harms way. But when seemingly healthy ponies start to fall prey to a mysterious illness which renders them completely unable to function like a normal pony with an invariable link to this strange new world. It's Twilight, and her friend who takes it upon themselves to save them.

Friendships are broken. Worlds are disappearing. Hope is fading. Who can change the fate of Equestria when they themselves are already lost?

When even the Elements of Harmony together are not enough to save Equestria, where will our heroes go for help?

Something I just couldn't get off my mind until I wrote it down. Be warned: the ponies in these battles really go off on each other. Almost exactly like it is in "Epic Rap Battles of History", except with less cursing. There's plenty of verbal bashing, though.

Vinyl Scratch is the DJ for most of these battles, and will be doing the all-caps commentary (except for the ones she's in, of course). OC tag because of slight self-insert.

I've heard that this story is better when read with someone else. You know, with each person doing one half of the rap battle?

...should there be a 'sex' tag, considering some of the stuff brought up in the rap battles?

In this action epic retelling of MLP:FiM, Twilight Sparkle learns the values and virtues of friendship in Ponyville while facing evildoers with her five newfound friends as the legendary human warriors known as the Sailor Soldiers thanks to the Elements of Harmony. Action, adventure, tears, laughter and friendship abound as the Mane Six strive to maintain peace in Equestria with the fantasy of Sailor Moon and the action of Tokusatsu.

Spike was tired of hearing the tales of Rarity's coltfriends, and how they amaze her. Going home sad and broken, he found a black notebook that granted him the power to kill anypony as long as he had their name and face. He made a steely resolve to protect Rarity... at any cost.

Entry to National Pony Writing Month.

Each of the chapters of this fic is an independent story featuring one of the Mane Six having an encounter with the supernatural. They are presented as one story because of their common theme. The stories are:

Fluttershy: The Curse of the Night When Angel falls sick, Fluttershy ventures into the Everfree Forest at night to find a remedy. Though she faces danger, she escapes... but not unchanged.
Rarity: Blood and Water You know the story. Rarity gets seduced by a creature of the night, and her friends don't realize what's happening until it's too late. They find the vampire who turned her and destroy him. But then what happens?
Rainbow Dash: The Big Battle Discord's defeat didn't erase every trace of his influence on Equestria. Fortunately, hard-working ponies are already gathering the remnants of his power into Manehattan for easy disposal. What could possibly go wrong?
Pinkie Pie: Gallows Humor Pinkie Pie, Ponyville's premiere prankster, is dead. So why haven't the pranks stopped?
Applejack: One of the Herd Applejack may be in charge of Ponyville's biggest farming community, but that doesn't mean she can't take a break now and then. Besides, tonight's meteor shower should be even better than last night's...
Twilight Sparkle: The Case of Wild Clover the Warder It's a boring day in Canterlot, and Twilight Sparkle has time to kill. Maybe picking up an old lot of books will brighten her mood.
