A double event has just occured and the Kaiju are approaching Hong Kong. As the last thing that stands in the way between them and certain destruction, Striker Eureka, Crimson Typhoon, and Cherno Alpha are deployed to intercept the monsters. Taking position at the Miracle Line, the three Jaegers await their opponents.

------------------------------------------------

Applejack and Rainbow Dash have absolutely no idea where they are. All they know is that they're in a really big, barrel high pool. That is, if a pool could extend as far as the eye could see. On the horizon however, they see the familiar silhouette of land and, as any reasonable creature would, approach it.

This story is a sequel to Harmony's Creed

"Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted."

"Chaos is Eternal"

I am A. K. Yearling. Some of you may know me as Daring Do. I am a Daughter of Chaos. I work in a secret organization that is bent on causing Chaos and Change. I was recruited by an ancient Assassin named Vinyl Scratch, who has been granted long life by our leader: Discord, the Lord of Chaos. Now I must fight alongside them, but I am not sure if I should. These aren't the noble Assassins of old.

In this unending war between the Assassins and the Templar, technology has advanced through the ages. The Brotherhood no longer uses cloak and dagger, but hacking devices. The Templar no longer pose as a crusading army, but as large corporate companies instead. It's always changing, but the goal is always the same. Everyone wants to rule the world.

Two passengers on a train ride toward an uncertain future. One is a pony. The other only pretends to be.

Reader Testimonials

"Vinyl + Octavia is one of the fandom's most cliché and mismatched pairs, and yet this is a real romance with genuine depth and emotion." - horizon
"Holy shit this is impressive. Like... Holy shit, man." - Skeeter The Lurker
"You have crafted something wonderful here, a true gem. You should be proud." - Illya Leonov

"Fuuuuck it's so good!" - Luminary

The surface isn't safe anymore.

In the ruined depths of Canterlot, a team of brave salvagers discover six mares, long forgotten but miraculously preserved. Though these mares cannot remember what happened to their world, they possess powerful magic that hasn't been seen for centuries.

Now the Elements of Harmony are thrust headlong into a world beyond recognition. Twilight and her friends must dive into the sunken remains of history to determine what happened, but Equestria isn't the harmonious land it once was. Before they can focus wholly on the past, they may first have to survive the present.

It isn't going to be easy.

'Any sufficiently practical magic is indistinguishable from technology' - Anon

The Summer Sun Celebration has rolled around again and Princess, avatar of ruler of Equestria, is going to Ponyville.

Twilight Sparkle, gifted magitechnist and personal student to Princess, is going out of her mind with worry as she tries to both plan the event and do her best to investigate the threats from the group of ponies known as Dream Valley.

Trixie is just living each day to the next as a streeside performer in the cramped districts of Canterlot and trying to get her life on track.

Whether they realise it or not, they, and the rest of Equestria, are quickly caught up in a spiral of events that will take them all across Equestria's ravaged countryside.

All is not well in the country of Equestria. Something is wrong with Queen Celestia, and she has turned into a cruel tyrant over her people. She banishes her sister Luna on the charge of treason, which is where our story begins. Luna must find a way to rally an army to win her country back from her maddened sibling, and she finds allies in the most unlikely of places, starting with a small town called Ponyville...

At the turn of the millennium, when Nightmare Moon returned, most ponies would believe that our society was impossible... that it was a beautiful horror story, where money is more important than friends and harmony takes second place to profit.

They'd be right, in a sense. But in these twenty years, we have come so far, so close to a perfect Utopia; Equestria has never been better. From Sparkle Industries' augmentation monopoly to Sweet Apple Acres' dominance of food production, the civilized world is controlled by those who were once its savoirs.

Change... has never been so profitable.

The year is 1109. Long under the rule of the royal sisters, Equestria is in the midst of an economic boom. New breakthroughs in magic and steam technology give rise to elaborate machinery, resulting in an exodus as adventurers scramble to chart the unknown lands outside the Equestrian Valley. Spearheading the movement are the airships Celestia and Luna, the pride and joy of Equestrian air travel.

After failing the final exam of Wonderbolt Academy, Rainbow Dash's dreams of serving aboard an airship seem crushed. But when a mysterious stranger offers assistance, she is given a second chance to make those dreams come true. Together with a calculating pilot, a stubborn engineer, an eccentric inventor, a genius record-keeper, a timid strategist and a child cartographer, Rainbow Dash will face down the unknown in a foreign land as she is thrust into an adventure beyond her imagination.

Celestial Year 3678

The Equestirus 1, a floating pegasus paradise above the dying war-torn world of Equestria beneath them, is on the verge of collapse. The only hope for it's survival is the ones known as The Celestials, 6 beings of such extreme importance that even the most pure of governments would kill to have just one of them. But no one knows who they are. Sent on a journey by Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle must survive in the dying lands around Canterlot and find The Celestials before Equestirus crashes into Ponyville and destroys the world.
