Batman wants to destroy My Little Pony and only the Joker can stop him.

Edit: Now a collaborative effort with Loyal2Luna

Commander Shepard has been through a lot, but now that the Reaper War's over he can finally relax and take a little R&R, right? Soak up the sun, grab a few drinks, spend some quality time with Tali, introduce a new race to the galaxy... wait, what?

In the aftermath of the war, a new species has been discovered amidst the destruction and fire. A species that have access to powers never seen before, powers which could prove vital to the continuation of galactic survival.

The Citadel Council has elected to send Shepard, along with the rest of the crew of the Normandy, to introduce Equestria to the universe outside of their solar system.

Now Shepard must wade through obstructive bureaucrats, antagonistic journalists, and the odd, angry prince in order to bring Equestria into a new age of space and adventure.

So settle in, it's going to be one hell of a vacation!

Now has it's own TvTropes page

This story is a sequel to First appearance

But does he wants this, a full conflict with their race or will he rise above them and forget it?

Only his new appearance will decided that.

If you are new to the story please now that the other chapters before Preparation were some of my early works and will be of great need of grammar correction. It'll be rewriting after the story is completed. Thank you and I know...

An archeologist finds himself pulled into a parallel world by Discord's storm of Chaos, and encounters the mysterious creatures that live there. How will a rational human, confronted by creatures out of mythology, and unable to find his way home, adapt to his environment? Only one way to find out.

Note from the Author (3/28/2021)-
Really gotta hate how people don't listen to this segment. Really gotta love it.

Seriously people, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY Please do not comment on, thumbs up, fave this story, or add it to any bookshelves. Years later in all honesty I'm not happy with this story or how I ultimately wrote it. The only reason I don't delete it is because it got featured and because so many folks have it in their bookshelves already.

Hello. If you're reading this, you somehow found my message. Hopefully you are a fellow Brony, and will not simply assume this is the insane ramblings of a crazy person.
Oh, I suppose I should introduce myself, this story is about me, I guess. The name's Cain. Nice to meet ya.
Now, getting to the point of why I sent this out. Ya see, a few months ago, I had a rather unsettling experience. My mind was ripped from my body on Earth and transported to wherever it is our beloved Equestria lies. Normally, this would be nothing to worry about, as it seems to happen all the time, but frankly, this time was different. Instead of being sent to Equestria as a human, or nay, a pony, my mind was placed inside the body of an Equestrian.

Unfortunately for me, it happened to be Diamond Tiara.

Yeah...not what I was expecting either. Now, quick, before the message fades, get me some help!!

Inspired by Hoopy McGee's Why am I Pinkie Pie?!

Thrust headlong into a strange new world, Solaire of Astora must make amends before he can continue with his mission. Unbeknownst to them all, a shadow from his past approaches.

After the royal sisters' black hearted mother is inadvertantly awakened by a curious young knight in training, the world is changed for the worse. Celestia and Luna are banished to their respective celestial bodies, division has reformed between the three tribes stronger than ever and even the Elements of Harmony are seemingly lost.

Very few retained their memories of happier times. One of these few has been biding his time, waiting for the right moment to strike and take back Equestria in the name of chaos! ...no? Not chaos? Fine I guess for Harmony. Party poopers.

Sequel to Settling In, not really required reading but the last chapter at least helps set the stage!

Am I still me?
In the mirror I can only see the face of the stranger. Whoever I met never saw the real me, all they could see was someone even I didn't know.

Am I still human?
Spreading my wings, I can soar through the sky like a bird, with just one thought I will turn my body into beautiful snow that will never melt. They told me that it was a gift, but I thought different, because each snowflake is my unshed tear.

Am I still alive?
This place is like a dream, but I still can't say if it is a an actual Dream or Nightmare. Unicorns and Pegasi, Magic and actual Divine Monarchs, I'm not sure anymore what is real and what is not.

If this is Hell, then I will break the Chains.
My sorrow is what makes me cry, my longing for home is what makes me shed these tears, I don't know how much longer I will be able to hold myself together.

If this is Heavens, then I will tear the Gates wide open.
Peace and Harmony, are what rules this place, Princess of the Sun and Princess of the Moon are thous who watch over this Kingdom. But this place is not my home, and never will be.

I will find my way Home.
Because, home is where the heart is.

The Canterlot Caverns are a strange and enigmatic place, untouched and forgotten by pony-kind for centuries. So when a strange metal object is unearthed in their depths, it's up to Twilight Sparkle and Lyra Heartstrings to discover the many secrets it holds.

Together, the two of them will have to do their best to understand the remnants of an ancient civilization, and decipher what remains of Those Who Came Before.

The cover-image is a cleverly edited stock image, which was modified by the stupendous Corvo.
Proofreading was performed by the equally fantastical writers:
Timetraveling Pony (Who started as a proofreader when Cloud was writing this. Hats off to him for being dedicated and staying on as a proofreader for me.)
DustyPwny
Tidal
Superluminous
Night Spark
PhiliChez

And a special Thank You goes to The Sentient Cloud for allowing me the honor of continuing this great story after he retired from writing fimfictions.

As it turns out, this story is eerily similar to Lyra Heartstrings and the Hand of Man. Due to their similarity, I feel that it would be appropriate to give said story a mention.

Did you ever wish your dog or cat could understand you? Chrysalis has. Chrysalis has wished for so long for her changelings to understand anything other than "Bark!", "Hiss!", or "Head to the area exactly 3.7 miles north and 2 miles east of me and attack anypony that moves."

Well, after gathering enough love from Canterlot, she finally got her wish. But these newly awakened intelligences had to come from somewhere.

Cancelled. I'm now working on stuff for money. If you want to take over this fic, please message me with a link to your best work.

An intercultural comedy adventure.
