In which Scootaloo, her human friends, and their mutant talking dog ride around in a van solving mysteries together.

An idea I can't get out of my head, so I figure why not use it to get back into the swing of writing?

Ethan McIntyre was a young man with aspirations to become an actor, stage magician, and/or special effects artist. So who else should he go to a convention as, but the special effects based supervillain, Mysterio! (The Animated One, because comic books ruined him like they did everything else!)
How could a purchase from a mysterious merchant lead to him being transported into a world of magic in which the inhabitants believe him to be a powerful sorcerer with villainous intentions?
Can Ethan pull of the part of a lifetime and fool the world into believing his abilities are not all just the super-tech versions of smoke and mirrors? Or will he fall before he finds the reason why he was displaced into such a strange turn of events? And will he stick to the moral compass he always followed, or lose his way to the temptation that comes from his new found role?

Minutes passed, and soon, what Twilight had seen became clearly visible in the night sky. It was a massive vessel, comparable to the gondola of an airship in shape. As it entered the planet's atmosphere, a corona of flames wreathed around the titanic ship, lighting up the night as bright as day. Those who were watching could be forgiven for wondering how such a massive vehicle could fly. However, as time passed, something else became apparent.

It could not.

Slowly, piece by piece, the massive ship began to break apart under the strain of it's fall. Wreckage from the vessel spread out, falling over all of Equestria, forcing many to take shelter. Shield spells went up over cities and towns, sparing the residents from the worst of the fallout. Soon, the centerpiece of the ship, a flattened sphere-like construction was all that was left. Those still watching looked on in despair, as it was headed directly for Canterlot mountain. Great jets of flame erupted from either side of the structure as if it were trying to control it's decent, but to no avail. It's course firmly set, there was nothing to be done but wait for impact. With an almighty crash that shook all of Equestria, the pod impacted the base of Canterlot mountain There was a bright flash of light, then...

Silence.

Soon after the defeat of the Dazzlings, Sunset Shimmer finds herself going through some changes she doesn't understand. With help from her friends, will she be able to fix her issue, or will she be stuck the way she is forever?

Thanks to mah proofreader: https://www.fimfiction.net/user/professorsawyer for all the help :D This story is dedicated to our great moderator: *drum roll* https://www.fimfiction.net/user/Eldorado

Sunset Shimmer is just an average, everyday unicorn-turned-magical-girl who fights off the occasional arcane threat to her local high school, that hails from her old home dimension. After the recent mishap of the Friendship Games, Sunset knows she has found true magic in the form of six great friends and a talking dog. With this magic, she knows she can handle any situation that can come her way.
Unfortunately, waking up in a strange city with a stranger animal on her head doesn't quite qualify as something she's prepared for.

Avengers: Age of Ultron crossover.

Ultron’s plan had come to perfect fruition. There would be no more war, no more chaos, because the ones who caused it all would be gone. In just a short moment, the world would be saved from its true demon. Humans.

It would have all been so much simpler…if it wasn’t for them.

The Avengers.

As it is said, as it always will be, true peace can only be granted through countless innocent lives. In hindsight, the ponies were never that different from humans. Ultron’s plan is not yet over, and soon his strings will be severed…for the last time.

Big shoutout to Shrekzilla for his amazing job on the artwork!
Sequel: This War of Ours

Steve Rodgers, aka Captain America, has died in battle against the forces of the Chitauri. After his death, One-Above-All came to him with an offer too good to refuse: Live on in a new, peaceful world as its greatest protector. With a new body and a new opportunity, Steve becomes the greatest soldier in Equestria.

The Narrator chucks his Bible at Twilight Sparkle's head, knocking her out cold.
When she recovers, she learns about a bipedal race called "Man" and how they fell from perfection, and how the deity known as "God" sent His only Son to die and rise from the dead in order to save them.
Eventually, Twilight reads all there is to read in it, and obsessively insists upon reading it more. The Narrator then adds to her Biblical studies by... What else? Chucking more books at her, of course!

A sudden and powerful magical event consumes all of Ponyville in the space of a few moments, and when Twilight and her friends come to, they find the landscape around them quite different. And the world they discover, to be devoid of magic and inhabited by strange beings.

One of these beings is Asher Burgess, the oldest son of the family whose secluded, Colorado ranch has suddenly become the location of an entire town of alien creatures overnight. Their lives are changed forever as they find themselves the link between the ponies and their own nation.

Bewildered by this new world, things start getting more urgent as more of the Equestrian world arrives piece by piece, and not all of it is so friendly. Searching for answers, Asher, Twilight, and the rest of the gang stumble onto more questions, and uncover an amazing secret. One that could either save them all, or doom both worlds to annihilation.

(Set just after the events of season 3 finale. Diverges from there, movie has no effect.)

P.S. A request if you will: When someone gives a "dislike," would ya'll mind commenting why? Especially if it has something to do with a writing skill.

When Sunset Shimmer needs some money to get her jacket cleaned and repaired, she decides to take a part-time job to make some cash. She didn't expect to get a rather surprising co-worker, nor did she expect things to turn out quite like they did.
