Anonymous finds himself in Equestria, ready to attend Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. He didn’t quite study for the entrance exam, but using the Magic of Friendship™ has never steered anypony wrong before!

Unfortunately, he’s using that kind of magic almost a decade too early. Whoops. Worse, admission was only open to young fillies and colts. Guess which one Anon is stuck as.

This story is a sequel to Changing Expectations

When ages are segmented and divided in the annals of history, it is done so with great events as breakpoints. The Second Age of Heroes was unanimously declared to have started with the return of Princess Luna and the changeling Invasion of Canterlot.

For thousands of years, the changelings survived beneath The Great Tapestry, that which connects all living and nonliving things. Hundreds of generations worked endlessly to keep their existence a secret. With one command from Queen Chrysalis, the Masquerade was broken.

In a single night, the changelings waged war against Equestria and took the Kingdom by storm. Months later, the war between changelings and ponies has ended. A new tapestry, a new story, must be woven between the two species. Equestria and the Fifth Hive have gone through a dark chapter and have emerged stronger for it.

One war ends and another begins.

As The Sword of Damocles hangs above the heads of the formerly-human King Phasma and his Equestrian counterparts, the forces of light must work on an ever-shortening window before war once again brings Hell to Equus. Dark powers grow in the places that the light does not reach, and they bring one irrefutable truth.

Epitaph is coming.

This story is a sequel to A Very Batty Hearth's Warming

The small village of Nocturnis is growing, things are peaceful, the magical dome to protect the town is close to completion, the train is once more working to connect to the rest of Equestria and Princess Luna is coming to visit. Things are looking good for Prince Page!

He really should have known better than that.

This story is a sequel to Repercussions

Page has some problems. Some are large with larger teeth. Some have sharp claws. Some have wings. Most are ponies. Sometimes being an alicorn is simply not worth the perks of the job, no matter how nice.

The village of Nocturnis has grown slightly and is still growing, built into the southern jungles and forming the core of the rare thestral tribe.

However, forming a new town is not without its own dangers or troubles. Especially if built in a difficult location. But it’s not always the wildlife that’s the most troublesome.

Introvert and avid Magic: the Gathering player, Anon never really saw the point of friendship. Sure, he had people that he interacted with at work or at tournaments, but that was about as far as he was willing to go. When he finds himself in another world, will he be able to keep that mindset or will his favorite hobby help six mares bring him out of his shell?

Equestria, the land of Magic and friendship. While other lands have to make do with one dungeon core, while also delving into their depths to prevent an outbreak, Equestria hosts hundreds, who work for the benefit of the land, creating gems in the ground to mine, shaping the land as they wish, and making it easier for the ponies to manipulate their surroundings...

However, nobody, except perhaps the princesses, understands exactly what dungeon cores are. Nobody except one desperate researcher, the griffin Xaviar. Inside a gorge in which he had discovered the remains of an inactive core, this adventure was his last... Until he came back as the core. With no guidance except his own knowledge and his proto-magic rich environment, Xaviar will have to resist all the forces that wish to make him theirs.

Every time Luna falls asleep, her lover vanishes. Every morning, she must find who he's replaced.

Sex tag for allusions to sex off-screen and mentions of stallion's equipment. You know the drill. Better safe than sorry.

Written for Zontan as part of a Christmas fic exchange. The prompt he gave was "I want a story about a sympathetic villain protagonist. Tempest, Nightmare Moon, Starlight, Chrysalis, etc - so long as they're out there doing villainous things for good reason."

Comments have Spoiler for the plot of the Story!!!

Yes it has both "Death" AND "Comedy" as Tags and that´s intended before you might ask. If you read the Story you will know why!

What exactly is this Story about you might ask? Well here you go:

As you might have already guessed, it' s my personal rewrite of the second last episode of the series we all love so much. Some parts of the script is the same and in general the story follows the flow of the original episode - just with my own ideas and quirks.

Stuff like not expected and unnatural twists, way too powerful characters and all the rest as to be expected from me, for sure.

Oh and we don´t want to forget I might be crazy and write stuff that kind of only makes sense to me. BUT I´m a very happy person and can´t by any means stand sad or horrifying stuff. So no, not from me!

Disclaimer:

Rated Teen to be on the safe side

I would like to point out that this story contains some figurative descriptions of more serious injuries and violence. (I may have even gone over to the graphic part, I'm not familiar with the difference. So I honestly don´t have a clue). However, in my opinion, still not enough to justify "Violence" or "Gore". As there is no Blood involved so I think it´s fine. If you disagree let me know, thanks.
-> there is also a slight mentioning of a petrification sequenze as you probably can guess. Just so you know

There are also quite a few swearing words, though in a way one would probably use them themself when angry or pissed and not excessively.

--> While at work, I suddenly had the idea to rewrite my own ending for "The Ending of the End - Part 2".

- Will it make sense? - Most likely not.
- Will it be random and crazy? - Oh yes it will! xD
- Will it be 10 times longer than I had though and intended? - Absolutely!

The chapters are too long, even for my sake. Yet thanks to my idea of having it spell out a full sentence and the fact I spend half an hour even separating it into these three chapters...It will stay this way.

Otherwise have fun reading.

Comments and Suggestions are welcome. But pls don´t ask me about logic. I dont know that one either :p

After Planet Aether has been brought to peace and stabilized, Samus Aran doesn't get much rest when she's sent to reconnoiter a nameless planet on the edge of Galactic Federation space. Ostensibly, she was supposed to determine the size of a Space Pirate operation that was mining Phazon on this planet... and mark the place for a quick strike by Federation forces if it came down to it.

But when things become much more complicated beyond what her mission brief had stated, she may find that her fate and those of some unlikely allies may be intertwined. The battle that rages on the ground in a fight for survival and duty may have Samus questioning herself when a new front in an undeclared, nameless war is opened... in her mind.
