The Nuptialverse's take on Equestria Girls. Happens simultaneously with Direction

This story is a sequel to The Emerald Dragon

Spike is a dragon who has seen many things. He has fought countless evils on Equestria and is one of the nations greatest defenders. He is a bringer of light. He is a Green Lantern.

But his abilities will be put to the test. Something out in the black cosmos is killing off Green Lanterns and he must find out who...or what. And despite having one of the strongest wills in the Corp...the universe is full of foes that even an unbreakable will cannot overcome.

Sequel to the Emerald Dragon, so I would recommend reading that one first. All characters are my interpretations of them, but their loosely based on GLtAS.

It's been only a short amount of time since the centaur, Tirek, razed the forest of Everfree to the ground, and was defeated by the very ponies he hated, being sent back into the belly of the earth from which he escaped. And in that time, life has mostly returned to normal for the citizens of Ponyville. Normal that is except for the recently promoted princess, Twilight Sparkle and her assistant Spike, the baby dragon. Neither of whom know quite how to go back to normal since the incident.

Isolated from her friends and taken prisoner in the middle of a war, Twilight must deal with the very real dangers of being percieved as an enemy as well as the nightmares of her arrival on 'Earth'. Can she overcome her own fears and the fears of her captors? Will the wayward unicorn's assistance be a boon or a curse to the 'humans?' Most importantly, will she ever find her way home?

"In short, it's a story of friendship and plasma rifles, with the emphasis on the friendship. The characters are well written, the XCOM setting is fleshed out very well, and the story is compelling. If you love XCOM, you'll love the story, but even if you've never heard of it, it's more than worth giving the first 3 chapters a read.

There's excellent action later on, but the real strength lies in the collision between the friendly and naive world of Twilight Sparkle and the desperate world of humans fighting a losing war for survival and willing to do anything to turn the tide."
