"Raise the Heavens!" - The Nightmare Knights' rallying cry.

Heroes are not born. They are made. And the Crystal War was a forge of heroes, hardened ponies who have stared into the abyss and emerged stronger. But six unicorns went further than any other and brought the abyss back with them. They were the same six who defeated the Night Queen herself, the six who bore Nightmare Moon's dark curse into battle against Discord, the six who quietly subverted Queen Chrysalis into becoming Equestria's secret pawn, the six most feared by both Equestria's enemies and her own citizens. This is the unsung tale of six unicorns, Twilight Sparkle N1, Starlight Glimmer N2, Sunset Shimmer N3, Trixie Lulamoon N4, Luna Eclipse N5 and Sunshine Smiles N6, and their nightmare-bonded commander, [OFFICER NAME REDACTED] N7. Together they lead Equestria's last hope, the fearsome legion of nightmare-bonded humans and their loyal nightmares, the [REGIMENT DESIGNATION REDACTED PENDING CORRECTIONS FROM THE VICEROY OF HUMAN AFFAIRS].

As always, proudly brought to you by our hardworking dream team, Not A Hat and Brad The Brony.

S5 Finale spoilers herein.

Story premise in a nutshell: In a world without the sonic rainboom, the sirens succeed in amassing an army of brainwashed humans to invade Equestria. Their invasion led them straight into the hooves of Sombra and his army of mind-controlled ponies. The clash ended with the Sirens defeated and Sombra acquiring a new source of mind-controlled soldiers - Earth. The fielding of Sombra's highly-versatile mind-controlled human minions in battle further pressured Equestria into a corner. With no end to the war in sight, Equestria resorted to desperate measures. Once prisoners of Equestria, Nightmare-infected ponies and humans are finally allowed to fight to earn their freedom. This is the story of the first six Nightmare ponies, their human commander and their part in the Crystal War.

This is a Crystal War story featuring squad-based heroics, camaraderie-in-arms and a touch of wartime field survival. Originally conceived as a thought exercise in explaining away the absence of all the other villains in the the Crystal War continuity.

(Trigger Warning) This fiction contains parody (if only) of modern social problems (woops, "problems" is not PC enough...so....uh..."dilemmas?").

(Trigger Warning) This fiction does not contain a lesbian, pansexual, asexual, bi-sexual, trans, or sexualsexual Main Six (We apologize in advance for having reasonable headcanons).

(Trigger Warning) For Go...(can't say the word "God" so uhhh) For Celesti....She's off too!? Bloody Hell (I don't give a shi-)! Get on with it!!! Read the freakin' story!

Twilight and her friends have been summoned by the Cutie Map to a strange community where everypony seems to be offended by even the wind going through their manes. Can our heroes understand the reasoning behind this madness? Can anypony for that matter? Does the author have enough privilege points to write this type of fiction? Tune in next time on Dragon Bal- Oh...lost my place for a second.

Go ahead and prepare to be offended by this parody!

Queen Chrysalis has won.

With her magic now far more powerful than even Celestia's, nopony can stop her complete conquest of Equestria.

Well, maybe nopony can stop her, but one man can.

AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!!!

Marble has always been told to just put on a pretty smile. But sometimes the prettiest smiles hide oceans of deep secrets.
When she meets a new pony, it's like all her worries and demons melt away.
At least, until she starts drowning again.

Edit: So, 3 years since I've updated this, but due to some personal things happening in my life, I'm gonna try and pick this back up.

Things will be different, and some of my original plans are have changed.

But, Expect something in the next few weeks.

I love waking up every morning to the sound of dishes being done. Especially when they are being cleaned with a DUBSTEP DISHWASHER!

Ever since I got trapped in Equestria, Vinyl Scratch has been my best friend and Marefriend. The fact that she is a friggin DJ makes her all the more cooler!!!

Warning: This story contains Wubs. If you are to Novice to handle the epixosity of the Wubness, then back out now!

Adagio Dazzle tries to take over Canterlot High, but many annoying obstacles stand in her way.

Random idea my friend and I thought of when we entered our school's cafeteria. No joke.

You're the new kid in Canterlot High. After accidentally falling asleep in the janitors closet (you were in there because of a dare given to you by a cyan colored girl with rainbow colored hair), youre stuck inside the school for the night, with no way of getting out until morning.

You manage to survive the night, but only just. This earns you major popularity points, even a few surprises, and thats when you notice a girl with red hair (containing a yellow highlights making her hair look kinda like bacon) has got a thing for you.

How does this go? Only time will tell...

Applejack and Sunset Shimmer have been spending a lot of time together recently, so why do they suddenly seem so distant? And why does Sunset seem to have abandoned her new-found friends?

Set between the events of Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks, this story may contain mild contradictions with Rainbow Rocks, but probably not enough to warrant an alternative universe tag. Although the story is marked complete, I'm not ruling out further chapters being added in the future, if I think of a way to continue it.

This story is a birthday present for one of the most amazing individuals on the planet. Some bits of it were pre-read by Infinity Shade. (Thanks, sis!)
