All will be revealed and explained in “G.N.D.”: Yet another sequel of the well-known short story “My Little Dashie.” By ROBCakeran53

***

For clarification:
-Yes, this is an MLD sequel (Strike one)
-I have written no previous works (Strike Two)
-And did I mention this happens to be my absolute first fic? (Strike Three)
According to Sports Law, I’m dead. Baseball, Zack Morrison references, and feeble attempts at humor aside, I just wanted the audience to understand I was not unaware of depravity of my deed. MLD sequels are notorious for being bad and I cannot possibly claim what I have written is good. That is up to you, dear reader.
Understand that I have read many of the sequels while writing this, and please realize I have done my best to exceed the average sequel in story and in development. But I must stress I have only tried to exceed the garden variety MLD sequel. This is not arrogance, nor is it because other authors are inadequate, but because ROB has taken enough flak just for being generous enough to allow others to use his work as a springboard.
I have done my best to make sure it is not only well-written, but also to expand upon the original as all good sequels should. (If only because it is entirely rude to the author of the original piece if you soil his name and reputation with a shoddy fic)
Hate it if you wish to hate it, like it if you choose to like it. It is here, it is done, I am done. Come what may, I do hope you enjoy some part of it. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find it a good MLD sequel.

Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash can't remember what happens minutes after teleporting to an unknown location. Their memories are a blur and have difficulty evaluating the situation. They soon encounter something that turns their perception of the world upside down and soon discover they are no longer in Equestria. Their past unfolds and memories resurface, bringing the truth to light one step at a time.

This endeavor put some strain of the lives of three particular humans with problems of their own. They encounter a life changing series of events which transpire into new discoveries and friendships.

My name is James Clark, and I am a Private Military Contractor. No, not Mercenary. Yes, there is a difference, but that's beside the point.

Ok, where was I? Ah yes, I was just entering my office in Downtown Houston one afternoon to hear a job offer. When I got there, I found a beautiful, robe-wearing woman waiting for me. Now, in this day and age, most people would find that strange. I didn't for two reasons.

1) In this line of work, you run into a few crazies. If I had a dollar for every nut-job I turned away, I could buy a small European country.

2) It was Halloween. Hell, I was on my way to a party dressed in a replica suit of Veteran Ranger Armor from Fallout: New Vegas, complete with gas mask and real riot gear I borrowed from a friend on the SWAT team. I was gonna win the costume contest for sure!

I'm getting off topic, aren't I? Anyways, this weirdo offered me a job without going into much detail. No location, no objective, not even a dollar amount The only thing I got out of her was the promise that I would be saving thousands, if not millions of lives.

Every instinct told me to turn the job down, and yet I still accepted it. Maybe the idea of playing hero again had its appeal.

God, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

A freak lightning storm, strange lights, and an unassuming, yet mysterious stone obelisk. What do these things have to do with an average college student from North Tonawanda? At first, nothing. But when nineteen year-old Connor lets his curiosity get the better of him and lands in the center of a cosmic coincidence, he probably should have left well enough alone.

Now he finds himself stranded in an impossible world where magic is real, and "normal" takes on a whole new meaning. A world populated by sentient creatures calling themselves "ponies." A stranger in a strange land, Connor's yearning for answers and a way back to Earth will try both his patience and his sanity in the days following his arrival, even with the support of his new equine friends. But as he witnesses his life slowly spiral out of control, he will call into question his definition of home, humanity, destiny, and what it means to truly belong.

Rated Teen just in case for occasional swearing. This story takes place shortly after the end of Season 2, and the main character is from an Earth where MLP never existed (in order to preserve proper characterization). Or just assume he's never heard of it, that works too.

The title is not an Evangelion reference, I was just inspired by the wording scheme.

The Princesses find an alien creature barely clinging to life at the scene of a terrifying crash. Can the Combined Power of the Elements of Harmony save it, or more importantly, should they save it? Will the arrival of this strange creature tear Equestria apart?
