Several months have passed after Discord's sudden disappearance. With the Bastion destroyed Kid agrees to live with Rucks and Zia in Ponyville. With the help of Twilight and her friends, he hopes to begin learning what else the world has to offer.

Clean-up of the Bastion by the royal guard has been going well, but the main island seems to have been kept off-limits. Nopony knows why, but shortly afterwards strange things have been happening in the forests near Trottingham. The same forest the Bastion crashed into.

Meanwhile, Equestria remains oblivious of the Unrest in the frozen reaches to the north as an enemy that only kid knew has returned. It will take the courage of a single human, and the strength of an entire nation to push back the invaders.

But it will take the magic of friendship to stop a rivalry Kid has long since forgotten.

(Sequel to the story: An island built in the sky)

Pokémon Crossover

After the princesses experience a strange vision of even stranger beings entering their world, the Crystal Empire is visited by those beings. When word of the powers they possess spread, things rapidly become complicated, both for the ponies and the otherworldly visitors...

Spoilers for Pokémon X/Y.
This will not follow game/anime logic, and be more akin to Pokémon Adventures.

Other character tags will be added as/if they appear.

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

Thanks to CedricBale and noobie56xx for tracking down the name of the artist so I could give them credit.

A young man lost in the hilly embrace of a mountain sleeps the night away under a knot of tree roots. When he wakes he will find himself thrust into a strange new environment, the Everfree Forest. With only his pack and his experience as a Boy Scout to aid him, he must survive, make sense of his surroundings and with some luck, ultimately find his way home. What does one do after wandering beyond the edge of the map? And better yet...

What if you are not alone?

I have been reading fan fiction here for a while and wanted to give something back.
My first fiction ever so constructive criticism is welcome. Fair warning, it takes a while for me to write a chapter so expect gaps between updates.

[Hiatus notice: As of 10/1/2022 this fiction is on hiatus so I may focus on other projects and items, will resume at a later date.]

Rated teen for strong language

Awesome cover art by Carnelian. Seriously, the guy has major skills with how fast he drew this up.

and of course ALL CHARACTERS / REFERENCES BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS. “MY LITTLE PONY FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC” IS OWNED BY HASBRO

NO PROFIT WAS MADE IN THE CREATION / DISTRIBUTION PLEASE DONT SUE ME OR ANY PARTY THAT DISTRIBUTES THIS WORK (unless they try to sell it, then by all means go nuts)

One day as Twilight takes inventory, she finds a strange scroll. Curious, she opens it, and unleashes a dark and ancient evil, the likes of which Equestria has never known. As the being goes throughout the land, it transforms, becoming more picturesque and dark. Lands become plagued by darkness, many ponies turn to stone, and the Elements of Harmony, as well as Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, simply vanish.

However, there is hope, for from the scroll also appears a strange pair. One is a pony with strange markings along their body, and a flaming mirror on their back. The other is a small bug-like creature who seems to do all the talking and prefers to not be called a bug. Amaterasu is confused at what is happening, but knows that he/she must stop Orochi from taking over these lands, as he tried to take over Nippon. Harnessing the power of new brush techniques, will Amaterasu be able to bring peace and color back to Equestria, or will Orochi consume the land with his dark magic? Or, will another, darker threat take over?

An Okami crossover.

The Rating has been changed on recommendation to Teen due to the implication and reference to gore during two chapters.

Chris and Keon are two zoology majors that get separated from their class after following what Chris believed to be an undiscovered species of bird, during a trip into the Amazon rainforest.

Finding themselves stuck in a pit, they discover an ancient ruin adorned with murals and statues of what they believed to be ponies. They soon realize that the bird in question was the orchestrator of their fate, as they’re brought to what they are certain is their deaths.

Waking up, they are not only separated from each other, but in a new land entirely. Will they take this opportunity to learn about creatures only ever seen in legend, or will they be too busy being studied themselves?

Rated teen for sexual themes, crude humor, mild drug use.
(Edited by DF)

After Rainbow Dash’s first sonic rainboom, not only did it give the other five ponies their cutie marks, but also assured them the elements they represent.This is the first time ever that the Elements of Harmony have had a living consciousness, and a conscious is a very powerful thing in itself. Twilight seems to be the most affected by this judging by what happened during her training in Canterlot. What could this mean for the six Elements of Harmony?

This is rated teen, but has some sexual references. This is my first story and critique is most appreciated.

When Twilight comes back from her week long visit to her brother's house, she finds out that everything has changed. Canterlot High is babbling about some magic girl from another world, but Twilight knows better. There's no such thing as magic, or portals into other worlds.

Right?

EDIT: Wow. Never expected the feature. And by the way, thank you for anyone who commented with a consructive criticism. I'll be reading as many as I can and keeping them all in mind for the future chapters as well as going back to edit the past ones periodically. Enjoy the story!

EDIT 2: Went into the first chapter and tried to fix up the 'Twilight did X' issue that many people commented on. (Thank you to those who did.) Hopefully it is a bit more readable now.

EDIT 3: After fan feedback on a massive error I made where Princess Cadence was an out of control lunatic, I rewrote the Twilight meets Twilight scene so that it flows better and actually stays in character. Thank you for anyone who made a comment about this, I am listening to your feedback and writing my future chapters accordingly. (If there are any more of these, I'm going to keep these in a changelog in a blog post.)

Being a hero isn't always what it's cracked up to be. There tends to be a lot of down time where you're just sitting around, waiting for the next report of some renegade bandits or small time criminals. But for the first time in years, the Star Fox team will be diving head first into their newest assignment. One that may very well determine Equestria's fate forever.

They say the universe is infinite, absolute, an endless plane containing immeasurable numbers of stars, planets, and other cosmic wonders. It has no edge, no end. However, who's to say you can't just go through it?

Captain Alex Ronen of the United Global Federation, had been chosen to go somewhere no man has gone before. Only question is if he can find his way back.
