He had wished to be a pony himself. His name was Needle Wings, and this is his story. This is a story about love, hate, and above all, how someone can overcome all odds in the face of anger and oppression.

WARNING: To those brought here from Changing Flows, please know that this story is nowhere as well written as Changing Flows.

Going up to the roof for some fresh air after pulling and all-nighter, our "hero" makes the mistake of closing his eyes for a bit.
When he opens them again, he is no longer on the rooftop in Copenhagen he was expecting to be on... no he's somewhere very different, and extremely unfamiliar.
How will he react? How will the ponies react? Nothing is certain, except for one thing...

He never asked for this.

This story takes place about 8'ish years after the second season of MLP:FiM, the language of Equestria does not match any earth languages (that the main character knows of at least), and the human in question knows nothing of these ponies or the world of Equestria.
He emerges into Equestria on the roof of a building in Manehattan, not the Everfree, not Ponyville and certainly not one of the princesses' bedrooms in Canterlot Castle.

Oh! Spoilers in the comments and all that jazz, not gonna go into a whole spiel about it.

Rainbow Dash, Vinyl Scratch, and Derpy Hooves venture off to a field near the Everfree forest to support Dash in one of her flying practices for the second annual young fliers competition. Unfortunately for them, they encounter more than they bargained for and are thrust into an unknown world where friendship and safety is hard to come by.
[Read the Prologue Parts 1 and 2 for the crucial back story] [MLP:FIM, Ace Combat, and Final Fantasy merge into an epic adventure of friendship, bravery, and determination. Will the ponies ever return home?]

Additional Info:
Meanwhile, in a world far away, the Razgriz demonstration flight squadron prepare for a routine flight mission. Hours into the flight, the chain of events that began in Equestria conflict with their own world as well. At the same time (relatively speaking) the current year on Earth is 2064AD, but it's not an Earth too friendly to its inhabits, let alone creatures from other worlds.

Dr. Sid began working on a project, long before the need for weapons and barrier cities. The Final Fantasy world of Earth is infested with alien spirits, and mankind faces total extinction. Led by a strange dream and guided by her mentor, Dr. Sid, Aki Ross struggles to collect the eight spirits in the hope of creating a force powerful enough to destroy the alien presence, and pure enough to protect the planet. But before Aki pursues this journey, Dr. Sid is convinced the Stargate project may work (codenamed Project BlueBeam). However, at the projects peak, their world was overrun by alien spirits and phantoms. As a result, the machine was never tested. In the barrier city of New York, Dr. Sid begins to decide that the project is too dangerous and complicated to complete. His dream was that by developing a Stargate that could visit other worlds, maybe...just maybe they could learn to save their own. Aki Ross and Dr. Sid, along with Gray Edwards, Ryan Whittaker, Neil Fleming, and Jane Proudfoot are forced to shut down the project after a security breach. Unfortunately, security measures were not properly taken to secure the Stargate. Little did they know, the machine did in fact work after all, and Douglas Hein, one of the arrogant leaders of the city, was up to no good�

The Main 6 and friends, as well as Razgriz, are thrown into 2064AD Earth full of alien phantoms, barrier cities, and a place where friendship is hard to come by. It�s nothing Aki and her team aren't used to, but they were not expecting the Stargate to work...let alone this little mishap. What evil is Douglas Hein up to? What will the main 6 and friends do to survive and return home? How are Blaze, Edge, Chopper, Archer, and Heartbreak One (the call signs of Razgriz) going to comprehend what has happened? Now that the door to the unknown and the unimaginable is opened, the reality in which everyone thought they lived�just got a reality check.

Crossover Information: The following story, (in the same time Galatically) takes place in Final Fantasy Earth, 2064AD.

Final Fantasy (The Spirits Within Movie): One Year Before the movie takes place, 2065AD.

(You may read this story without having a background in AC5 or FF The Spirits Within. However, if you have played the game and watched the movie, it can help build images and bring the story line together. But again, it is not necessary. Overall, I realize this Fan Fiction concept is "a stretch", but I will do my best to deliver a story that will take you on a journey that destroys the barriers of time, space, and overall...it doesn't matter how "dark" or "evil" a place can be. All it takes is a little light to turn everything around.)
Authors Note: If you are somehow reading this and have no background of MLP: Friendship is Magic, it will be slightly challenging to follow the MLP characters, so use the Character guide as a reference.

Some crazy s*** goes down in 2Fort and the nine mercenaries end up in Ponyville, much to the displeasure of a certain Boston baseball fan not willing to walk the path of the pony until he meets a certain rainbow-maned and tailed pegasus. From there, it's 9 crazy adventures, followed by an epic battle against the world's strongest Austrailian.

This thing is old, like "please go read anything else I've written" kind of old. But if you do give it a read, I hope you find something to like about it.

In order to spread chaos the likes Equestria has never seen, Discord summons a human into Equestria, but as they be careful what you wish for. As a new threat from the human's own mind arrives to give Ponies a taste of humanity, hilarity and radomness are abound as our Fandom collides with my little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
