Many versions of Equestria exist, both canonical and fanonical. When a man whose life is in shambles finds joy in experiencing the Equestrian world, he quickly begins to wonder: Just what kind of Equestria has he entered?

This is a tale of a man who may find unexpected complications in paradise.

Derek, a normal teenage guy, is stuck in the wilderness where monsters from mythology are real. He needs to find help from the people of this land. Little does he know, that he isn't just stuck on Earth, he is in a whole different world.
Derek ventures out of his wilderness hide-out to find a way out of this forsaken forest. He will soon find out about the people who live in this world.

"The humans? They were here. This history book says so."

Shortly after the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle borrows a book from the Crystal Empire's library, and it speaks of Equestria before Celestia and Luna lived among the other creatures of Equestria, when they lived just as the sun and the moon.
But the book also speaks of a species that was banished from Equestria,

the humans.

Twilight, intrigued by her new found source of knowledge of a species she has never heard of before, decides to look deeper into the study of humans.

Alex is your average guy; average family, good job, and a bunch of great friends. After a night of crazy partying he wakes up in a field and a world of talking technicolor horses. None too please with this rapid change in his life he retreats to the Everfree to wait out what surely must have been a spiked drink.

When a new planet is accidentally discovered by an unsuspecting intern at NASA, his whole life changes when he realizes that he has a chances to travel to his fantasies.

However upon arrival at this new planet, things take a turn for the worst as he fights to save innocent lives.

While moving to her new home, Zecora find the strangest creature - a large, nigh-hairless talking monkey-thing. Seeing how it lacks basic knowledge on surviving in the wild (and that it's quite tall and probably good at manual labour) she decides to adopt it as her assistant. Hopefully, she won't come to regret her decision.

You wake up in the Everfree forest, and you must find a way out of there. Choices you make in the story effect what occurs later on. There are some parts of the story where it will end, which will be shown by a large THE END at the end. If this occurs you will have to restart the story at chapter 1.
Rated teen for romance scenes if they are uncovered. Each of the proper endings will lead to their own story

This is my first fic, and I thought this style would be interesting to work with. Hopefully you enjoy it. The chapters are deliberately short for the choices at the end of each chapter.

What do beings sacrifice all the time?
They put everything at risk when they enter a battlefield.
They sacrifice their own right to live, they shorten their lifespan greatly.

But what happens when all of that is just... taken away from you? A war is fought. But you will not be a part of it.

Beings are not created for warfare.

Beings do not have a choice in what they sacrifice.

Captain Alex "Blitz" Noah, the commander of the M1 Abrams "Retribution II", is accidentally teleported to another dimension with his crew and tank while testing experimental shielding devices. The crew unsure of what has happened find themselves in a colourful world full of ponies?! This is my first fic so if you find any errors please show me and I'll fix them.
Suggestions and any constructive criticism is welcome.

Together, the two of them will have to do their best to understand the remnants of an ancient civilization, and decipher what remains of Those Who Came Before.

Proofreading was performed by the equally fantastical writers:
Timetraveling Pony (Who started as a proofreader when Cloud was writing this. Hats off to him for being dedicated and staying on as a proofreader for me.)

And a special Thank You goes to The Sentient Cloud for allowing me the honor of continuing this great story after he retired from writing fimfictions.

As it turns out, this story is eerily similar to Lyra Heartstrings and the Hand of Man. Due to their similarity, I feel that it would be appropriate to give said story a mention.
