Ten years ago, Twilight made the ultimate sacrifice in order to defeat Tirek. Equestria has been in a state of civil war ever since.

Canterlot has at last fallen, and the six heroes of the rebellion now go to face the ultimate challenge: defeating the godlike Twilight Sparkle. What they expect to be a brutal, hard won quest for glory and Equestria's salvation turns into something entirely different... and now they face a choice.

This story is a reaction piece against the Tyrant Sparkle trope.

A terrible affliction has befallen the peaceful town of Ponyville, and the lavender unicorn and her friends are right in the middle of it! And the edges of it. Heck, it's pretty much lavender unicorns all over.

A story unrelated to anything.

My name is Twilight Sparkle.
I am three hundred and seventy five years old.
Except for Spike, all my friends are dead...But not for long

Betrayed by Celestia, and isolated in her castle with only Spike for support, Twilight Sparkle enacts a powerful spell to reincarnate the element bearers through her own body.
Her friends will be reborn, and, with the trials of being a mother to her friends ahead of her, an unraveling secret from the past following her at every turn, and the possibility of a brand new life so close in reach, Twilight just might be reborn too.

Everypony who knows and puts up with Pinkie Pie and her antics is used to her spontaneous behavior, and her Pinkie Sense. Twilight herself had come to assume that was simply who the pink pony was. But one day, she discovers the true source of Pinkie's abilities. And unfortunately for her, a secret like this can only be revealed in one way... death.

Inspired by the Death Hole glitch in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and all of the crazy things you can do there.

This story is a collaboration between myself and Shadowflame. The author of each chapter will be made clear in the author's notes.

This story is a sequel to Dark Cloud

WARNING:
If you have not read Dark Cloud already, I strongly recommend NOT PROCEEDING. This description will ruin a huge chunk of that story. You have been warned. Please, before you ruin this for yourself, go check out Dark Cloud via. the link above.

And please, for the love of God, don't leave a dislike on this story just because you ignored this giant warning and read on anyway.

Equestria has been completely wiped off of the map, along with everypony in it.
Except one.
Ventus, in a final effort to save everypony, learns time magic from his half-brother, Midnight Sky. He travels back in time almost 8000 years to stop his evil ancestor Gale from terrorizing Unicornia. But little does he know that he and Midnight Sky could never have prepared for what they find hidden within the folds of history...

Oh, you had a bad day at high school?
A couple of douches duct tape your car to a light pole in the parking lot?
Phht, that's nothin'.
Buddy, just kick back, relax, and let me tell you what happens when friends experiment with witchcraft on you.

It all started with the mane... My mane.

Rated Teen for an occasional cuss here or there.

The Midnight Game: This 'activity' starts by summoning a demon, called The Midnight Stallion, and allowing him into your home. In order to keep this demon at bay, you must carry a lit candlestick to light the darkness of the house. Your only task in this game is to survive the night from 12:00 AM until the Midnight Stallion leaves at 3:33 AM. Besides your candle, the only other item you can use is salt, where in an emergency, you may make a salt circle around yourself to keep the demon at bay.

Rules
-You must stay inside the house, and no other lights can be on except for your own candle.
-You must keep moving. Otherwise, the Midnight Stallion will be able to find you easily, and will snuff out your light.
-If your candle goes out, you have ten seconds to relight it. Any later, and you will fall prey to this demon.
-If you exceed ten seconds while attempting to relight your candle, then you must retreat into a salt circle to protect yourself from the demon. Failure to do so will result in your fate falling into the hooves of the Midnight Stallion.
-If you retreat to the salt circle, or if the Midnight Stallion catches you without the candle's light, then you lose the Midnight Game.

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo decide they want to play the game inside Carousel Boutique. They see no wrong in it, but like most pagan rituals... Almost everything is wrong with it.

Rated Teen for horror content.... Like actual, 'crap your pants in a dark room' content.

Can Twilight Sparkle stop the new menace that's suddenly taking control of her beloved home?

Spoilers: No

It's the year 2020, and millions of people are raving about the new game console known as Nervegear, which will literally take a player's mind into the game. But thousands of bronies are raging about a new pony game made for the Nervegear. After several months of waiting, the game is released, as a way for the players to actually travel to Equestria as ponies themselves.

But... things become screwy when Discord appears. Whether it was in the game design or not, this being of chaos has gained control over the virtual Equestria, trapping every brony wearing Nervegear inside the game. However, there is one way to get out. The bronies in the game must find and acquire the Elements of Harmony, which Discord has hidden throughout all of Equestria. But there is one drawback: If a player dies in the game, then the Nervegear will fry their brains in the real world, killing them on the spot. If they die in the game, they will die in the real world.

This idea was given to me from the Japanese Anime, "Sword Art Online." Please, no hate comments or dislikes for this fact. At least read the first chapter before outright disliking it.
Thanks to Raybony for making the cover art for this story.

"All my life, I've wanted to fly
But I don't have the wings, and I wonder why
I can't break away..."
Most pegasi figure out flying easily enough. Heck, most of them figure out how to do it before they even get their cutie marks.

But not me. I couldn’t do it, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn’t even hover. Not for more than a few seconds, anyway. And not even Rainbow Dash, the greatest flier in Equestria, could seem to help me. We tried everything, and I failed every time. Day after day, I tried – and day after day, I failed, until finally I was ready to just give up. I’d never be able to do it. Nopony would ever be able to help me to fly...

...until one day, somepony did.
