The Canterlot Caverns are a strange and enigmatic place, untouched and forgotten by pony-kind for centuries. So when a strange metal object is unearthed in their depths, it's up to Twilight Sparkle and Lyra Heartstrings to discover the many secrets it holds.

Together, the two of them will have to do their best to understand the remnants of an ancient civilization, and decipher what remains of Those Who Came Before.

Proofreading was performed by the equally fantastical writers:
Timetraveling Pony (Who started as a proofreader when Cloud was writing this. Hats off to him for being dedicated and staying on as a proofreader for me.)

And a special Thank You goes to The Sentient Cloud for allowing me the honor of continuing this great story after he retired from writing fimfictions.

As it turns out, this story is eerily similar to Lyra Heartstrings and the Hand of Man. Due to their similarity, I feel that it would be appropriate to give said story a mention.

Second note, pay Spartan-117a vist. He's a poser and giant liar
A U.S. Marine is somehow sent to Equestria after a special operation involving a high value target goes wrong. He finds himself alone, wondering just how he will get home, if he can get home. Can he figure out how he got there, and if so, will he like the answer to his question?

Just a little shout out to our men and women in uniform who defend our nation from tyrants, and those who wish to corrupt and interrupt our very way of life, thank you and stay safe. (You too Bronies who are currently serving).

A/N: This isn't some Call of Duty/ video game crap. The places mentioned are real and do have significance, along with some people. Also to note is if you're here to read this because you think it's video game related, I pity you, please leave. Other than that, enjoy.

Story is being rewritten

I am alone. the only person i have now is my best friend Beth. Or that's what i thought. I am Corporal Thomas Garcia. I just finished my service in the United Sates Marine Corps. I thought I was going to live alone for the rest for my life but that's about to change. The Mane 6, Princess Luna, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence are now stuck in my world. Now i am forced to live her in my new house by Silverwood Lake. I have a feeling that my life is about to change. These ponies are going to change my life forever and i will protect them until they are able to go home safely

I'm Griffin, not much else to it. I've been bullied most of my life, which left me bitter and sarcastic. I'm a closet brony. What? You think I'm just gonna go out and tell a world that hates me that I watch a cartoon intended for little girls? I don't feel like giving the punks at school any more ammo. That's when cosmic powers decide I need to take a trip to my favorite fantasy land. But all is not sunshine and rainbows and it certainly won't be after I'm done with it. Equestria from the point of view of an extremely pissed off teenager, with a twist. Rust, the author of 'The Ballad of Echo the Diamond dog' is awesomesauce enough to have a cross over between our stories. Carnelian is a boss when it comes to art. Part of the 'Chess Game of the Gods'.

Violence, gratuitous swearing, and sexual themes. Reader discretion is advised.

In Earth years it is the year 2512. Using advanced space technology humans have been exploring solar systems and other galaxies! Until one day a starship named the U.S.S Atropos finds a small planet with strange energy readings coming from it. Curious they investigate...

Btw, I was really bored one day and just started writing this. After reading over it I realized that it wasn't half bad, so I devised a plot and decided to upload it to fimfiction. Plz don't be haters! XD

Aaron Jacobson is a Flight Engineer aboard the MIRV-03, a vessel launched in last-ditch attempt to continue Humanity's legacy after its inevitable doom.

Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash watch from the Library and the sky as a shooting star becomes a burning ball of plasma headed straight for the Everfree Forest.

Will the crew of the starship survive the crash? How will the ponies react to the new species?

Warning: Contains some violence (thus the Teen content rating); and more importantly is my first story (thus the probably trashy quality).

Criticisms are appreciated.

It has been several months since the disappearance of Twilight Sparkle..

One night, after watching her sister raise the Moon and set the heavens alight, Princess Celestia begins to bed down for the night, only to be interrupted by portal forming in her room. From out of the portal comes none other than Twilight Sparkle, garbed in strange armor.

Princess Celestia, along with Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armor, are overjoyed by the Element of Magic's return, but are justifiably curious as to where she had been and what she had been doing. And so, Twilight begins her tale. A tale of survival against impossible odds. A tale of a people fighting for the most basic right of all sentient beings. The right to exist.
