Eight years. For eight years we have been left to rot in this prison. Our reputations ruined, we were just as well off here in this festering hell-hole as we would have been out there in a country that now despised us. All hope seemed lost until one day, an emissary from a foreign land gave us a chance to exact our revenge on those who had put us here. Rainbow Dash and Macintosh Apple will pay for what they did to us. Mark my words, dear brother.

The third and final installment of the Rainbow X Mac series.

Story 1: At Home On The Range
Story 2: Breaking Barriers

Twilight Sparkle wakes up one morning to a harsh dose of unreality. She is stranded, without her friends, on an island which matches no known locale on Equestria. Surrounded and harried on all sides by the alien and the dangerous, she will find her mettle sorely tested, and find perhaps that the best friends you will ever have in your life are the ones you make when your back is to the wall...

There was nothing left for Spitfire in Cloudsdale, just an uncle who hated her and painful memories of lost loved ones. The Pegasus Search and Rescue Corps offers her a chance to get out of town, see the world, do some good - and one day maybe have a shot at the Guards or the Wonderbolts! She jumps at the opportunity - and six days later, she limps into training camp.

Doesn't matter: she made it. The world can beat her down, but it can't keep her down. The friendships she forms here will get her through everything training has to offer. Will they also see her through the dark clouds on the horizon?

(Rated Teen for violence, language, some suggestive themes)

Storm Surge, the son of Big Macintosh, is an excellent warrior, blazing through the Juggernaut ranks and proving his loyalty ten-times over. But when he is taken prisoner by an enemy House, his battle skills count for nothing. And when an enemy reveals to know about his past, Storm must make the decision to search for the truth, even if it means abandoning everything he stands for.
Lies. Deceit. Secrets.

Apple Bloom is left to handle the majority of the work on Sweet Apple Acres since Applejack and Big Macintosh have to leave to help out on another family farm for a couple of weeks. Granny Smith is helping out wherever she can, but the majority of the labor rests in Apple Bloom's hooves. While she's not the inexperienced filly she was years ago, does the young mare have what it takes to run the Apple family farm in Ponyville while her two older siblings are away, or will the monstrous load of work be too much for her?

NOTE: This work began before season 3 commenced. Certain elements of it, therefore, will clash with some of the developments of season 3 and onward (including things like Princess Twilight, the fate of Apple Bloom's parents, cutie marks, etc). With that in mind, enjoy!

During a storm Rainbow Dash hurt herself and crashed into the Everfree Forest. When she woke up she found herself in a cave where she met a pony named Shiron. Who is this pony and why does he live alone in a cave in the Everfree Forest? Moreover is he a friend or an enemy?
A new adventure for Rainbow Dash and her friends begin that will change their lives forever.

edit: This story will take part between season 2 and before the end season 3. That means things like the cutie mark of the CMC, the return Gilda, alicorn Twilight or anything after season 3 will not happen or will be different

When the Cutie Mark Crusaders ruin Applejack's stetson hat, Big Macintosh offers to take it to Rarity's boutique in order to get it repaired. But was that the only reason he's going there?

Takes place pre-Season 5.

Special thanks to TheDizzyDan and Scootareader for proofreading and editing and cleaning this story up in general.

This is the story of the end. This is the story of the death of Equestria. It is the story of the reign of her royal majesty, Princess Twilight Sparkle of the Fading Sun.

The alicorn sisters are dead and Equestria has turned to Twilight Sparkle to guide it. However, just maintaining a dim sun a fraction as bright as her mentor's keeps the new princess near her limits.

Years have passed and Twilight Sparkle is sure of only one thing. Equestria is dying.

NOTE: Written before "It's about Time" in season 2. Everything after "Read it and Weep" was ignored throughout this story.
