The world of Duel Monsters hasn't been kind to Spike lately, defeat after defeat, he thought of giving up, but a powerful spirit of a monster will make him give up on that decision, and a unique team will open the doors to a totally different perspective on the world of dueling than many other duelists.

It has been a hundred years since Equestria has registered with the Cornerian Army. During that time technology on Equestria has increased at an astronomical pace. New buildings, new vehicles and new species now walk with ponies.

But along with the new technology comes a promise. A promise for those who wish to leave Equestria and travel to the stars beyond. To explore the vastness of space and protect it from those that seek to do it harm.

Slipstream is the first of two ponies from Equestria to join the ranks of the Cornerian pilots. So she will be the first to see that the heavens are far more dangerous than any would have believed. That it is a place of criminals, thieves...and mercenaries.

Canterlot sinks deeper and deeper into corruption every day. Celestia wants Applejack to help straighten out the police force, and though Applejack feels that her place is with her town and her family, she's starting to have her doubts. When this rampant crime reaches Ponyville and her family, her hoof may be forced.
Spike has grown into a young dragon, and is happy obtain both meat and bits by protecting smaller towns from monsters. When the Belle family is threatened by Canterlot's strongest organized crime syndicate, he's forced to reassess is path in life.
There are times when a mare has to do what a mare has to do. The same goes for dragons. They can only hope they're not at odds with each other.

There is a legend. A legend of six heroes destined to protect Equestria from danger. But these six are not the Elements of Harmony. They are more.

The Steadfast Commander.
The True Genius.
The Vigilant Eye.
The Merciless Wrath.
The Fighting Spirit.
The Lone Wolf.

They are the true Protectors of Equestria.
They are the Guardians.
They are Noble.

Alright, so here is the story I have teased on my blog, The Noble Guardians! If you already guessed the concept, good for you! But for the rest of you, this is a Halo: Reach Crossover. I have seen a couple fics in which Six or Jorge are brought to Equestria, but they were always alone, so I decided to bring them all together as one. This will follow the show's storyline, with Noble acting as additional characters to the episodes, but don't worry, I guarantee they will be major characters with their own arcs and there will be plenty of original situations. I will also most likely skip any episodes in which Noble would have little to no involvement. (This will be few and far between, one example being "Call of the Cutie" I mean, even the Mane Six are only minor characters in that episode. I'll probably either mention those in passing or have another story going on with those episodes occurring in the background.) Anyway, see how Noble reacts to becoming Equestria's destined protectors!

Naturally, this story contains spoilers for Halo: Reach

Twilight Sparkle, a young gifted Unicorn is given the opportunity of a lifetime, to be the personal student to Princess Celestia. After demonstrating her abilities at her examination, her first day of studies comes to a grinding halt when a predecessor comes back for revenge on her mentor and Princess. After a narrow escape, the young filly, just beginning to learn her powers finds herself in the middle of the everfree forest, alone and vulnerable with no one to help guide her back to the life that was so swiftly pulled out from under her hooves. Her adventure nearly comes to an end when a pack of timber wolves attack her, however she is saved by one of the most unlikely of creatures, a dragon. With no one else to help her, she immediately follows the disgruntled and solitary creature back to his lair, much to his annoyance. However, he comes to find out that the two of them are far more connected than he could have ever guessed...

In this alternate universe, Twilight is a filly and never hatched spike. He grew up as a wild dragon in the Everfree forest, however deep down past the scales and fire, he will come to realize that perhaps he is something more. The first of a series I plan to create where spike is the "Older Brother/Guardian" figure, however, the bond that they share is the same if not stronger than that in the show. I believe this is an original concept, correct me if I'm wrong, but the idea came to me and I have been excited to show this to all of you

This story has been in my mind for over a year now and I am excited to finally be able to publish it, I hope that you all enjoy, as I am proud to present to you "Friends by Fate"

Rated Teen for mild blood and gore, nothing too horrible, just light battle injuries.

There are three rules of any good mercenary always be cautious, never underestimate your target, and finally always have your comrades back.

(This is an unofficial continuation of Total Magic Pony Island by Tailslover13. You should familiarize yourself with it as this will be following up on that continuity. Takes place in an alternative universe soon after "The Return of Harmony". Rated Teen to be safe.)

It's here at long last! The continuation (and ultimately conclusion) of the exciting Equestrian game show Total Magic Pony Island! Hosted by none other than the Lord of Chaos himself, Discord.

Of the original twenty contestants who were chosen to compete in this show on Paradox Island originally, only eleven are left standing. And only one contestant can win the grand prize of one million bits!

But there's more going on in this game show than meets the eye. Watch as friendships are tested, relationships develop, alliances are made (and broken) and grueling challenges put contestants to the test. All on Equestria's number one game show!

Dusk Shine is sent to Ponyville to discover what is friendship. But could a colt that doesn't recognize the friendship, recognize love?

Another story about Dusk Shine and his Harem, but with my personal touch, with more humor, romance and adventure.

ps: This story contains some drawings made by me. It's not a comic, each chapter has one or two sketches showing some particular fact from each chapter.

This story is a sequel to The Wandering Warrior

Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in Equestria, is done.

She's been beaten for three years straight by the same person, no matter how hard she's trained. Then she was crippled by a foe whose dark power was beyond anything she could fight. She lost her wing. She lost her pride. She lost her will.

But now she has a new foe to face. One that is cold and monstrous. He will not simply beat her. He will break her, break her down so badly that the only place she'll have left to go...is up.

She will face a tiger.

After being banned from coming to the wedding, Twilight leaves Equestria and becomes a member of the Storm King's army. This allows Twilight to become close friends with Tempest as Twilight swiftly rises to the rank of 2nd Commander and is renamed Sparkle Shadow.
