Shortly after the Dazzlings witnessed the Rainbooms' argument with Sunset Shimmer, they concocted a plan that would surely put Canterlot High at huge risk and inched them closer to achieving their goal: making Sunset one of them.

HELLO, COMMANDER.

In response to the Equine threat, this council of nations has chosen to activate the XCOM project.

We have located the alien's homeworld, known as 'Equestria'. Your mission is to travel there and murder everything you see. Your team has the best weapons, armour and training. Literally nothing can go wrong.

Operation: Exploding Face is underway!

Remember, we will be watching.

You remember Canterlot. You remember the taste of victory. Across a thousand years and a hundred lives, it was the greatest joy you had ever felt.

And then, in a flash of heat and unbearable light, it ended.

Now you are alone. The rest of your kind are dead or scattered, and you cannot hear their thoughts.

There is a void inside you. A gnawing, endless hunger you cannot escape. It is killing you.

You need love to survive, but there is none of that here. Not for you. You can only steal it from them, these ponies for whom we are hungry.

And yes, there will be a bit of OOC in this story.

Vinyl Scratch is the dungeon master. With her party of five ponies they set off for a crazy adventure. They are: Rarity (I know right?) Soarin, Maud, Cheerilee, and a special guest Thunderbolt Sentinel. He is good friend of mine and is also writing a story similar to this one. I'd suggest checking him out. Now this group will eventually be known as Chimera Corps and if you read on you'll find out why. I'm fairly new at writing and if there are any errors or if you don't like the story please message me or comment and explain why so I can fix it and become a better writer, Thank you.

Misty Fly dreams of being in the Royal Guard and has the skills to do it, but there's just one problem. She isn't intimidating at all. The Royal Guard tries to remedy this by assigning her to a program run by Iron Will. If she passes, she can become a member of the Royal Guard. Naturally, things don't go exactly as planned.

Takes place 18 months before the pilot episodes.

After a tragic accident, a human ends up in Lord Tirek's body, as part of an attempt to reform the villain after his recent escapades.

And the powers that be are definitely not happy about it.
