The history of Equestria spans dozens of centuries, and many terrible foes have risen up from the past to threaten the future once more, only to be defeated.

When a vicious and powerful enemy older than any Twilight, her friends, or even the Princesses have faced before returns, they will have to reach out to an ally just as ancient for help... but is she still the heroine she once was?

This story takes place after the end of Season 3.

When Rainbow Dash finds herself lost in a new and unfamiliar village, she reaches out to a certain lavender-hued stranger for help. But to Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash is no stranger; at least until she notice her strange new voice, a lack of wings, and a fondness of the word ‘darling’. Intrigued by the uncanny looks to one of her best friends, she decides to lend the newcomer a helping hoof, but things go from weird to weirder when Pinkie Pie happily announces that she too has met her lookalike. Twilight Sparkle and her friends take it upon themselves to find out the truth behind this mystery: who are these doppelgangers? Could there really be another Ponyville out there? And what does it all have to do with Discord’s lost legacy?

Megan Richards is a normal, everyday wife and published author of 'My Little Horsey'... however the tales she writes about aren't fiction, but stories from her past. She thought she put the world of ponies behind her, but sometimes the past has a habit of catching up with you...

G1 meets G4 in a hopefully epic tale of the past, the present and the future.

I own nothing, also, minor cameos from other Hasbro properties such as Jem and the Holograms, Transformers G1 and GI Joe.

For thousands of years the Rainbow Gates have remained closed.

In Equestria:

One day, a trio of young fillies on a quest for their Cutie Marks stumble upon a gate. What they find beyond the gate is an adventure of a lifetime. Monsters, knights, strange blank flanked ponies, witches and dragons and creatures that go ‘shoo-be-doo’. Can the Crusaders find their way home? And what is the mysterious shadow lurking in the darkness…

In Dream Valley:

It is celebration time for the Ponylanders and their allies, the Flutter Ponies, the Grundles, the Stonebacks and Sea Ponies. A new ally had joined their ranks, and a witch from the Volcano of Gloom has betrayed her own. But when their friends vanish, Wind Whistler and Gusty must cross a mysterious gate to a strange world of wooden wolves, diamond loving dogs, griffins and ponies that seem both familiar and strange. And lurking in the darkness, is an old foe.

Two worlds. Two enemies. Two shadows.

Let the Rainbow between Worlds connect.
