When I left for the Wonderbolts Academy, I thought my dreams were in finally in reach. Until that rainbow-maned dream wrecker smashed them to pieces.

Now the Wonderbolts have blacklisted me from my weather job, and some kinda wannabe fake superhero has moved into my hometown of Fillydelphia.

But I've got a plan: By catching and exposing that vigilante for the fake she is, I'll show the Wonderbolts they were wrong to throw me out.

It wasn't exactly my idea, but it's just what I need to get my dreams back.

I'm coming for you, Mare Do Well.

A little over a thousand years ago, at about the same time, Luna was banished, and an entire race of crystal ponies disappeared. A mysterious paradox existed over the Crystal Empire known as Heaven's Gate had caused certain ponies to do crazy things. When it disappeared, Luna and Sombra went mad, and Celestia had to banish them. Since Luna is the goddess of the night sky, when she was banished, her sky was banished with her, so Princess Celestia had to create a new one. And with each new star, a pony became a contractor, a pony with extra special powers that even highly trained unicorns couldn't master. Now, a new Gate called Hell's Gate has appeared over the Everfree Forest, and because of it, Luna has disappeared again, taking the sky with her, forcing Celestia to forge a new one, along with new contractors, including Twilight Sparkle.

You may notice that Rainbow Dash is a main character, but isn't there for the first few chapters. She does eventually become a main character in chapter 8, Through The Smoke, An Ally Is Found.

The Cover art was made partly by me putting together a pic of Twilight that I found and a pic of Mare Do Well that I found, but then NixWorld, made it awesome, adding the background and special effects. Cover art inspired by this.

If you can't tell yet, this is a Darker Than Black themed AU. It's not really a crossover because no Darker Than Black characters are actually in it. Just the circumstances and kind of the setting (except of course it's in Equestria, not Tokyo). Since it's not much of a crossover or a straight up copy, artistic license has been used. I really recommend watching the show though, or at least a few of the first episodes. It's available for free on Hulu (both subbed and dubbed), you just have to watch some ads. (It's rated TV-MA in America and 15 in the UK, but seriously, if you're concerned about rating, forget about that. There is no reason for the MA rating whatsoever. There are some mature themes, but it should really be TV-14 in America)

Lily Longsocks, like most foals dreamed about being a super hero like Mare Do Well. The other foals though, forgot about her once she disappeared but Lily never did. After getting her super strength she dared to dream this again. She never really believed that it would really come true but one day after putting on her Nightmare Night Mare Do Well costume to play she gets the chance. Lily takes that chance and saves Ponyville from villains but things eventually go terribly wrong. What follows for Ponyville is beyond what any of the would have ever believed.

Part Three of the Red Hoof Trilogy

Things continue to spiral out of control in Manehattan. With the unstable Abacus out of the picture for now, Snow Storm sets her sights squarely on locating the Red Hoof's base of operations, and the Red Hoof himself.

But ponies like the Red Hoof always have one last ace in the hole: Charade, a pegasus whose martial arts prowess rivals even our beloved hero. Snow Storm will have to be quick on her hooves, or even come up with a few new tricks, to keep up with his new adversary of hers.

With the Guard on high alert, Snow Storm's ever-increasing band of friends, and the Red Hoof growing more and more agitated, it's only a matter of time before they all come face to face in a final showdown.

As far as Fashionably Late is concerned, the Azdariz Diamond is just another jewel her husband Filthy Rich has bought for her. So when she loses it, she confides in Rarity that she'll be putting an announcement in the paper: whoever finds the diamond can keep it.

To Rarity, however, the Azdariz is the finest gemstone ever produced in Equestria, and she's determined to keep it from falling into less appreciative hoofs. Donning the Mare-Do-Well suit, Rarity slips into Ponyville's midnight shadows to track the diamond down before the announcement gets published.

Then Rainbow Dash gets involved. Then things get complicated.

This story was awarded 6th place in the April 2015 Writeoff Association contest, "Great Expectations," and the cover art was commissioned from marking.

The Great and Powerful Trixie has seen better days. She's barely able to make ends meet and is too prideful to accept help, which she debates she even deserves. Deciding that giving up just isn't her style, Trixie develops a cunning plan to return to the public eye and restore her fractured image.

A flash of inspiration provides her with the perfect opportunity. Take up the mantle of an already established hero, and then reveal yourself as having been them all along. Completely foolproof!

Trixie's pursuit of fame and fortune opens up a whole new world of problems for her however, and Shining Armor's meddling only complicates matters further. Just how long can Trixie keep her charade up? Is a travelling showmare all she's destined to be?
