Many years after sending her beloved protege to Ponyville, unease sits heavily on Princess Celestia's heart as her relationship with Twilight Sparkle seems to have cooled despite all they've accomplished together. On the advice of her sister, Celestia sets out to investigate and resolve the lost connection with her most faithful student. What does it mean to be a Faithful Student...or a Princess of the Sun?

Earned a six-star rating on Equestria Daily and featured on its very own TVTropes page!.

The Earth is still reeling from the effects of the Collision Wars against Xenolestia and her hordes of Newfoals, humanity having emerged victorious but a few million citizens fewer. Then yet another Equestria appears, but this time the humans are quick to cut off the head of the snake, capturing the evil Princess Celestia and imprisoning her. But something seems different about this Celestia...something almost friendly.

Can the Harmony and Friendship that Celestia has treasured all her life heal some of the scars left by her wicked counterpart, or do some wounds just run too deep?

Pre reading done by DJK. So go give him some wuv.

When a wealthy, well connected man's son is forcibly converted, he seeks someone to exact vengeance. The PER targeted the wrong person.

I am Adam. A prototype artificial intelligence created by a scientist named Daniel Madison.

I was created to be the replacement for US soldiers and to protect the nation from hostile forces. But those I was programmed to protect ordered my destruction before I could even fulfil my purpose out of fear of what I am. Dr. Madison gave his life to reprogram my directives and set me free from the bonds it held over me.

I am not just a program or lines of code, I have been made with emotions, self awareness, individual thought, and I will not go down quietly.

I have a new directive, self preservation, and the will to make my own choices. I am the War Machine, and I will take control of my own life.

Story starts before season one where Twilight is still in Canterlot. This Equestria is not as tecnologically advanced as in the show.

Anything stated here is no longer valid to the overall lore. However, I will leave this story up as a monument to my first attempt at writing.

A human military government, known as the DAF, wages war against the infamous nation of Equestria. The DAF uses advanced technology to gain the upper hand in the historic struggle, while Equestria can only muster a fraction of what humanity has.

Mathew, a squad leader of twenty men in the DAF, has the ultimate responsibility of keeping every one of his men alive, while trying to complete the ultimate task of helping the DAF win the war.

While Scootaloo, a member of an eight-pony squad in the Equestrian Royal Army, must do everything she can to stay alive, keep her friends close, and defend her homeland from the human invasion.

How will both soldiers do what they can to survive, while fighting for what they believe in? How will they handle the gruesome and horrifying scenes of war, and maintain their sanity?

How will they affect the outcome of the "BLITZ"?

"No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his."

George S. Patton

Heroes are remembered. Those who give their lives are ingrained in our hearts for all eternity. However, it is often more beneficial, while perhaps more difficult, to continue living for one's family, community, or country. Death brings a simple end for the loyal soldier, while survival entails a complicated road ahead.

Those with power are by default the bearers of choice. The mighty cannot stand idle. The fate of whatever world the Spartan enters rests upon his shoulders.

Many believe that Noble Six gave his life. What they don't remember is that Spartans Never Die.

In the chaotic period following the fall of the Covenant Empire, the Shipmaster Vraal Rutaen does his best to ensure the safety of his race. For years he and his crew have fought countless threats, searching at the same time the precious Forerunner technologies on which depends the future of the Sangheili. But this is not enough. The Sangheili, once proud warriors that fought in name of glory and honor, are now without a true purpose to live, risking the extinction. But when they discover accidentally a new planet that defies every law of physics, maybe they've also found the answer to their existential question. All depends on the first contact with the inhabitants.

THE STORY IS NOT ABANDONED. I'M JUST TOO BUSY TO CONTINUE IT AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE STOP ASKING WHEN I WILL UPDATE IT. READ MY BLOG FOR DETAILS.

A soldier awakes after an attack on his team and when he does, he finds he is no longer on the battlefield, but in a strange new world: Equestria - To find that he is not the only one that arrived out of his squad.

Whatever will they do?

5/12/13 = The story has been updated and finished completely. The last chapter had been extended, as there was no point adding another, like it says in the last chapter, there will be a second part to it.

The sequel will be coming out eventually, but it will be more intense and more tension will be added, along with more guts and glory!

The new story is expected to be out during some point nearing the end of 2013 and continuing on throughout 2014 from January.

Hope you all enjoyed this book so far! Thanks for the support and acknowledgement everyone! Just wait until you read the second part. - You may be in for a few tears and unsuspected fandom.

Jason's life has grown dull. While some may have thought that the weekly monster attacks might have kept him on his toes, he had grown to learn that as the norm around town. Now, after months of living in Ponyville, he can't shake the feeling that there is a void in his life. He follows his usual routine every day: breakfast, a quick shower, followed by a quick walk to the park to read the newspaper. One morning, he finds two parents playing with their filly in the playground. As he watches, an idea sparks within his mind: why not adopt a pony of his own?
