Luna flew about the sky, guarding the night over Equestria, noticed something unfamiliar in the sky, something that looked Alien. She had used her power of the night to draw this object down from orbit for a second look. It was a Structure Composed of a Gold metal, hexagonal main body, with a thin, large bowl shape at the top. In the center of the bowl, a small radio antenna lie. There were also longer antennas on the sides, 3 of them to be exact. The other side had a Small, golden truss beam, with several radio instruments on it. On one of the sides, like a Large, golden disk with several alien markings on the front. Luna flew it back to the main Canterlot castle and informed her sister for a closer inspection.

Note: I do not own any videos or images in this story. I only wrote it.
The side of the spacecraft was labelled "Voyager"

Once a soldier of Princess Luna's guard, an Earth Pony whose name was lost to the ages, was killed by Celestia for a revolt he lead against her after she banished Princess Luna to the Moon. Now a thousand years have passed and he wanders the Everfree forest as a spectral ghost. That is until he comes across a certain orange filly with a purple mane. How will they all react to the new discovery of a Headless Horse? How will he react to seeing Princess Celestia and Luna again after a thousand years? Especially after Celestia had him killed.
The mysteries of the Headless Horse will be revealed...

(This isn't really a full on gore story, I just put it there because there are occations where blood is spilt and ponies die. So don't expect somepony to have a blood filled, serious injury all the time, just maybe occationally).

When Princess Twilight Sparkle's years of research and study comes to its fruition, and a portal to another world is finally opened, a team of ponies is selected to go through. But as they go through, some strange creature comes through, and the exploration team finds itself trapped on an alien world that proves to be much more dangerous than they could have known.

In Equestria, Twilight now must find the way to reopen the portal, and to find out just what happened to the team she sent through. But how do you communicate with something that is completely foreign to you?

And others want to possess this creature as well. They feel that it could be the key to power. Power enough to take control of Equestria, as well as the world from which it came from.

Will Twilight be able to learn what she needs to learn to save her trapped friends, and keep this creature alive, so that it may return home?

Will she be able to bring the team back, or will they be doomed to die on a hostile world?

He is known as a Jumper, an abomination before God, and technically, he died. Or at least he should be dead.

So why is it that he wakes up in a strange new land, and why has he become a horse? Or, a more fitting description would be a pony.

In his world, he was a considered an abomination, abandoned at a young age. He liked to be alone, not trusting anyone. Now is his chance to start over.

This is NOT a Human x pony shipping, the only humans were in the first 2 chapters (and maybe later on). I figured I should clear that up.

The creak of metal echoed as a hellish choir in the room. Lyra sobbed, clutching the little communication device to her barrel, as though it were her life itself. "Please..." She whispered. "Anypony, I think-I think it's getting closer." ...A sickly, raspy breathing crested the doorway on the other side of her hiding spot. "Help..."

There is an organization which protects mankind, but remains shrouded entirely in secrecy. It is known as 'The Foundation'. They are unscrupulous and methodical, sacrificing as many lives as need be for the greater good. It can't be helped, the supernatural and meta-physical will always be a threat to humanity.

But not all of their specimen and objects are dangerous. They are varied, some help, some kill. Some are delicious. Some, are deadly.

And some are...well... Cute

Hello everypoooony! I'd like to thank all the awesome bros that helped with this collab, MrPockets as a writer and editor! MerlosTheMad as a writer! And finally Flying Wingnut as our last collaborator and chief editor. Hope you enjoy the beginning of our haunting tale... *ENGAGE SINISTER LAUGHTER*

When Luna becomes the unwitting test subject of an ancient spell she discovered, she gets more than she bargained for.

Now a male alicorn named Lucian, he is forced to wait for several months before he can go back to being the mare he once was. With the help of Twilight Sparkle, however, he realizes that his accidental transformation is not the curse he had believed it to be. Thanks to his new identity, he is able to move into Ponyville without being recognized, and gets to make friends for the first time in centuries, learning many important lessons along the way.

At the same time, however, Lucian must deal with his own long-forgotten personal demons; what can he do when his past begins to catch up to him? Can he protect those closest to him? And more importantly, can he even protect himself?

The answers, perhaps, may lie with his sister's greatest pupil... who may come to be far more than just a friend to him.

Note to readers: This story takes place between season 2 and season 3. Therefore, inconsistencies with season 3 canon may ocasionally occur. Consider it an "Alternate season 3," if you wish.

We are writing the year 2100; the world has recovered from the third world war and is finally on the way to a better future; humanity has developed entire new technologies which make it possible to stop the environmental pollution and make life brighter and easier for everyone. 7 years ago a young scientist made a break-through in transportation: he invented teleportation.
Today the machine is finally ready to be used by a human, ex-astronaut Jan Schneider is the first tester; everything goes as planned, but on one sudden day, the machine fails and sends him to a different planet, to a different place, well known as Equestria. But was it really the machine which failed? Or has somebody an eye on him?

After the War of the Ring and the return of peace to Middle-earth, Gandalf the White departs for Equestria to visit two old friends of his; specifically, a certain pair of alicorn sisters.

Yet he does not foresee that Equestria, like ponykind, has changed with the years since his previous visit, and so he is quite unprepared for what lies ahead. Can the Wizard endure the trials that this new journey will bring? Surely, but only if he makes a few more friends along the way.

Six more, to be exact.

Countless thanks for your help, guys!

(Originally posted on 8/21/12 on FIMfiction. This is written by an author that has only seen the films and has yet to finish the books, so there may be slight discrepancies.)

Ok i know what your think. Slenderman the guy that kidnaps kids and there never heard from again? Surely not that slenderman!
Well yes that slenderman is exactly who i'm talking about. Of course you and him aren't great friends like me and him i suppose.

Nightmare Moon always had a backup plan if she ever were defeated; she would slowly regenerate herself and regain her power. The problem is she never expected to come back as a defenseless filly, or to return directly in front of the princesses. As punishment for her past crimes, Luna has given her a sentence far worse than being sent to the moon again. Nightmare Moon must move in with Twilight and report to Luna on the magic of friendship. She's not very happy about it.

By the way I am not trying to rip off Past Sins in any way. Nyx is NOT in this story, this will go in a completely different direction.
