Many years ago, uncountable by some, a mighty race existed on the planet of Equus. But back then it was known by another name, Earth. These creatures were called humans and they existed in numbers ranging in the billions. But with so many people and so many different kinds there were a few "mutations" that changed some humans into monsters with special powers and a curse to live forever and never die of natural causes. Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and zombies were the majority of these mutants. Hated and hunted by their normal brethren they led their lives in secrecy and darkness. But then everything changed when an alien named Discord destroyed the world and exterminated the human race. His rampage changed the landscape and drove all of human kind into extinction. It wasn't until another alien race know as Alicorns stopped Discord and made the changed and crippled world their home and renaming it. They created a race of intelligent creatures called ponies as well as many other different races to populate and sustain the world and their magic kept balance in check with the rising and setting of the sun and moon. But as for the human race only five survived and only because of their powers. Two vampires, a werewolf, a poltergeist, and a zombie. They have taken to staying together and keeping their existence a secret from this new dominant race. So for many years they lay in hiding, waiting for their chance to come out of hiding and try to find new and better lives for themselves. Finally that day has come for them to prove themselves as good beings and not monsters. And they will start by saving the city of Canterlot from the changeling attack.

Darth Vader is one of the most despicable forces in the galaxy. Once a powerful and respected Jedi Knight, he betrayed the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order for the dark side of the Force. The newly christened Sith Lord was apprenticed to Darth Sidious and quickly became a master of the dark side. Vader was soon the scourge of the Jedi, continuing the Great Jedi Purge by slaughtering all remaining Jedi.

An extension of Emperor Palpatine's will, the Dark Lord was constantly on the move, traveling throughout the galaxy to defeat rebel uprisings and kill any surviving Jedi. This mission brings him to the edge of the Outer Rim into the Unknown Region of the galaxy, in an unknown star system. High above an unnamed planet he duels with one of the last remaining Jedi in the galaxy in a starship battle. But during the battle his ship is damaged, and he crash-lands on the mysterious planet.

With his connections to the Galactic Empire severed, Vader must find a way out the land known as Equestria, inhabited by the strange creatures known as ponies. That, or he could take it over.

Harmony is gone.

A world is in flames and ruin.

And a human wakes up in a hospital bed.

Thus begins the Ballad.

A human with strange new limbs and senses awakens to an even stranger world that has suffered a terrible apocalypse.

He remembers nothing save for his name.

And the only things directing him.....are the letters left behind.

Now he must find the one who brought him to this world and find out why he is so important here.

He must find Harmony.

And put back the order of the world.

A big thanks to Angles for pre-reading the story.

You and your family have just moved to a town called 'Ponyville' after deciding Canterlot was not the right place. You said goodbye to your friends and your old town.

Now, all you have to do is make friends and continue on living life.

It's a shame that some of them don't want to stay just friends.

You're a random human on Earth trying to get some sleep, but these blasted ponies keep appearing in your room. You don't know where they come from, or how they got here, but they insist on sleeping with you in a non sexual manner.

Have you ever wanted to get cuddled by a pony? How about against your will? No? Yes? Either way you are getting cuddled whether you like it or not.

Warning: Adorable cuddling may or may not be suitable for younger readers.
Warning: I can't select all the ponies, but yes all ponies(and other species) are capable of cuddling you. No you're not safe.

That's right, the Joker, otherwise known as the Clown Prince of Crime, the Harlequin of Hate, and the White Duke of Death, is now in Equestria. Will this unpredictable, murderous psychopath learn the true magic of friendship and abandon his old malicious ways? Or will his arrival kick off an unstoppable crime spree to shape Equestria into his own image? Like I said, the Joker is unpredictable.

Special thanks to my awesome prereaders X19, LDSocrates and The Alpha, who are the best of the best! Read their stuff or just thank them for reading my unedited monstrosity before I release it to you guys!

Anonymity is a concept of hiding one's true self and keeping it secret.

Someone anonymous has no identity that one can claim to be his/her own. They are living shadows. Mysterious, tangible shadows.

To Anonymous this is not simply a word or a concept. It is a lifestyle.

He came to Equestria by an accident. His mystery facinates and frightens. Nothing is known of him, and never will, if he has a say in the matter. However... There is one thing that kind of breaks this mysterious ruse...

He is not right in the head... Hilarity/insanity should ensue... Hmmm... Hmmm...

Engineer and Sniper, the RED team's campers, are pretty much the best friends one might see on a battlefield full of annoying teenagers with baseball bats and pyromaniacs who don't see things as they should. Engineer covers Sniper's back with Sentries, supplies the two of them with ammo, and in return, Sniper spychecks, defends Engineer, and gets rid of enemy Snipers.
However, after an incident involving a sapper, Razorback, and malfunctioning teleporter, the two are sent to a dimension where it's all the things Sniper and Engineer dislike. Nay, the things they hate. So how will the two get back to their camping, Nopeing, and Pissing? And why are the two replacements sent by the mysterious Grey Man so...mechanical?
