The Gryphon Kingdom to the north has fallen to the corruption of a tyrannical Queen; forcing her nation into a war against Equestria. As the battle looks in their favor, Lightning spark--Leader of the 1st Pegasus Division--finds himself fighting not only gryphon's, but his own mind as he struggles with the loss of a close friend. Little does he know that the new recruit, Rainbow Dash, may be Equestria's only hope in stopping the war.

Most characters on the list, will come in slowly as the story goes on. Also, the (very sparse) romance doesn't pick up until around chapter 3.

On a dark night filled with even darker magics, an insane cult attempts to give Nightmare Moon a body and life of her own, utterly separate from Princess Luna. But, when the spell is interrupted by Celestia, something unexpected is created.

Now, a little black alicorn filly named Nyx finds herself living under the care of Twilight Sparkle, only to be haunted by memories and emotions from her past. Is she Nightmare Moon reborn or is she simply a doppelganger with a soul and mind of her own? Can Twilight Sparkle protect Nyx from those who refuse to see past her dragon eyes and black coat?

Or, will Nyx be forced to inherit the sins that may not even be hers and become the greatest evil Equestria has ever known?

Sup, the name's Mark. Or was Mark, anyway that's not to important anymore. Just know that while I lived on Earth, I was constantly under pressure to follow the rules and fit a mold that didn't fit well with me. My life was constantly controlled by a system I despised.

Well since getting sucker punched into Equestria by a goddess those days are over. Being the one and only Winged Wolf in the known world is a huge help to being able to make my own rules. I'm finally free to do what I want, when I want, and how I want and that's exactly what I'm planning on doing.

Set in the same universe as The Ballad of Echo the Diamond Dog and Griffin the Griffin.

-------------------------

I did get permission from both Rust and BlackWing to use the same setting as their characters. Go read both of their stories. They're awesome. Reading them is what made me want to write this story in the first place, so if you liked this, you'll fall in love with those stories.

Added the Dark tag just in case. There will be a decent amount of violence later on. Will add character tags as they become important to the story.

The Griffon Empire have had a near perfect campaign against Equestria, taking city and airfield with relative ease. Now on its last legs, Equestria places the fate of their future in the hooves of the Galm Team.

A/N: This is an Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War crossover. All planes and weapons are identical to the game. There is some cursing.

It's been two years since representatives of the United Human Federation arrived in Equestria, begging for help in a crisis situation. Months later, the Human-Equestrian Alliance was formed. But now, relations between the two species are strained, as mistrust begins to boil. It comes to a head when all UHF forces leave Equestria during a massive invasion, leaving the ponies to fight for themselves. Have the Humans abandoned their allies? Or do they have something bigger up their sleeves? The clock is ticking, as the ponies are on the verge of complete surrender, and humanity might just be Equestria's last hope.

(A/N: I know this is a beaten to death idea, but I'm putting my own spin on it, as well as some "Ace Combat" Elements.)

Once upon a time, Spike went for a walk.

While on his walk, he was judged by an ancient alicorn, lodged with griffons, parlayed with air pirates, charmed a maiden of a mystical race, and dealt with the scourges of hate, fear, and racism while deliberately drawing the armies of myriad nations to the brink of global war.

Once upon a time, Spike went for a walk, and did all of this so that he could keep a promise to the one that meant the most to him... Twilight Sparkle.

In the first of three books, Pillars of the Sun (Chapters 1-15), Spike is devastated by Twilight's fate and grows more and more despondent as he attempts to understand what has happened to his dearest friend. A gentle nudge from a pony he trusts sends him looking for answers. When that nudge becomes a push he unravels ancient secrets... and risks losing himself before his attempt to rescue Twilight can even begin.
