The mane 6 are a Mafia family with Twilight leading them, and she only answers to one person. the town is run smoothly and if any problems come up they act in swift, and if need be brutal, manner.

Someone is trying to take the town from them and they refuse to play by the rules, but do they know what that means?

While the princesses of Equestria do a very good job keeping their land a peaceful and bright place, this does not mean that darker and more insidious forces do not exist.

In order to combat these powers, one must understand them, and Celestia has ensured that there is always at least one living pony in Canterlot who does. For the past several years that pony has been Pale Bones, aided by his assistant Scarlet Shade. They spend most of their time in a hidden archive beneath Canterlot's library, researching the dark underbelly of Equestria and the dangerous abilities its denizens wield.

30 years have past since Luna was freed of Nightmare Moon, the now Legendary 6 have children meant to carry on their legacy in the Elements Of Harmony, but when one of the New Bearers returns after being exiled for dealing with dark magic and murder, he finds a burning Ponyville, the Legendary 6 and the New Bearers slain, he must seek out what he lost so many years ago and reclaim his honor with vengeance.

Princess Celestia was looking for four young ponies to share in the experience of a lifetime, a trip to outer space. The Cutie Mark Crusaders are up to challenge, but an accident grants them fantastic powers and they decide to use their new abilities to explore the unknown and mysterious.

But when a ruler of an old race of sub-aquatic ponies come to Equestria to seek revenge for their destroyed city it's up to these Fantastic Fillies to defend their home.

This is a cross over with the Fantastic Four comic books and shares it's universe with The Amazing Spider-Pony. It's not necessary to read ASP before reading this, but it does explain a few things.

Take pride in love. Take
Everything that you believe in-
and turn it all to power.

As a reporter, Fluttershy has learned to have a taste for adventure, and has learned that almost anything can make a good story. However, one night, she learns something that would make a great story, but must not tell anyone. But is she the only one that knows this secret? If not, then how long until something happens?

The Force. A universal power that surrounds, penetrates, and binds all beings together.
When a spaceship crash lands in the Everfree Forest, Twilight Sparkle and her friends will find more than they ever thought possible in Jedi Master Tahm Lumbo, his Padawan Kisara, and Clone Commander Gizmo.
However, when strange things start happening across Equestria, these three off worlders may be Equestria's only hope.
A crossover between Star Wars and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. All rights belong to their original owners.

Desert Mirage lives in a world full of guns, lasers, explosives and people competing to be the best of the best. There she excels at what she does: hunting. She started as a nobody, and yet became one of the most sought-after gunslingers.

Sunset Shimmer was practically born the best of the best. Selected by none other than Princess Celestia to be her prized student... until she ran away to another world in search of power. Through trials and suffering she was eventually taught humility and friendship.

At first blush, they don't have much in common. But their connection runs deep, and sooner or later it will change their worlds forever.

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.

*First featured on 7/29/14!*

After the events of Viva Las Pegasus, Flim and Flam took over management of the Ponet Fatastique. Not wishing to repeat the mistake Gladmane made, they decide to give the current acts time to tour during the off season. Their replacements turn out to be less than ideal.
Their new animal handler, Show Stealer, is a foreigner who has been performing his act for years. During a dress rehearsal, however, he loses his temper on one of his most exotic creatures, one he bought from griffins. He ends up imprisoned, while Flim and Flam decide to see if Fluttershy will help them once again.
Fluttershy is in for a surprise, however, when the creature begins to speak. Soon, Fluttershy takes him in, hoping she can help him in his efforts to integrate into pony society.
How will the rest of Ponyville handle a frightened child, unused to civilization?
The brewing tensions with Griffonia certainly aren't helping the situation, either.

Note that this is not a HiE Story.
