This story is a sequel to Harmony's Wrath

Warning: This story is a sequel to Harmony's Wrath. This is an Alternate Universe, many elements of the setting have changed drastically, and won't make sense if you haven't read it. Even the cover picture. IT IS ALSO, LIKE THE FIRST ONE, REALLY OLD WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE

Six months on from its rude awakening, Equestria is still dealing with the fallout. Daily life has changed irrevocably, and it's only a matter of time before the dangers of the real world inevitably rear their ugly head. Twilight Sparkle and her friends are taking the lead in preparing ponykind for its trials, but some unusual reports from the outskirts of Trottingham lead them to believe that the world might be a lot wilder than they had anticipated.

Cover art by me and prequel by me.

Tag update: Reduced character tags to Mane 6, CMC, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash. While the Mane 6 and CMC provide most of the ensemble cast, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are the primary viewpoint characters.

(This is a sequel to Steamlord)
(Read by SporeHarvest)

Having finally settled in as a Technological Developper for Equestria, Steamlord and Sunrise have been living a quiet life. Steamlord's existance has been growing steadily as well, but he does not care, as words of the consequences brought by his technology has caused more fear than curiousity.

While working on a new, extremely secret project of his, Steamlord receives word from a griffin dignitary that machinery similar to the man's creations have been spotted roaming about the Nether Mountains near the northern Equestria-Griffin territory. Using his ship and his bodyguards, Steamlord departs for this location in a bid to understand what exactly is going on. Sunrise, however, has grown quite a bit since Steamlord's proper introduction, and will show that she can do more than equate.

However, what exactly is this new project that Steamlord is working on, and why are the Crusader Knights so protective about its access? Perhaps Security System could explain more in detail...if she could be coaxed into doing so.

Looks like I need to rework large chunks of this story :>

(The sequel is here)
Youtube reads by Spore Harvest start here.

Sometimes, your inventions can bring about great good for humanity. And sometimes, they do the opposite. However, a single man actually did BOTH with his creations, and is one of the few survivors left on Earth after the "Ash fall". He decides, with his breakthrough in spatial rendering, to leave the destroyed Earth behind and go for a new world. He aims to go to a fresh Earth, where everything is as it should be, without his existence.

Unfortunately, he goes slightly off-course, and ends up in the wrong world. How will his technology get him through this?

If any of you don't like a little pseudo steam-punk, then you shouldn't read this, because the main character's technology is heavily influenced on its style...except for three certain things.

The beginning of the story was inspired by "Techno-Babble in Equestria" made by N64Fan. You should go check it out. It's pretty good.

That work of art is "Steampunk Wanderer" by amlaidgh. I only found the name of the artist, so I don't know where it could have been originally posted. The original version of this art seems to be "Wanderer above the sea fog" by Caspar David Friedrich.

Celestia and Tyler have been married for a long time. They had not foreseen an uprising by the Queen of Changelings and her ruthless army. Nearly out of resources for battle, the two become desperate and reach out to as many royal guards as possible to help defend Canterlot.

One of the most highly decorated guards must be sent over to Canterlot, far away from his current home. He needs to leave his family behind, and with no guarantee of his return.

Stormball: the most technically-challenging and physically-demanding sport known to ponykind. A team from Cloudsdale boasted they cannot be beaten, and traveled the globe to prove it, led by a retired living legend of the sport. Thus far, they're making good on the claim: Saddle Arabia was crushed, Griffonstone lost in a laugher, Prance didn't fare well either, The Crystal Empire had to forfeit before the end of the first half, and the list goes on. Even Canterlot was dropped, with both Princesses on the field of play. Then, just before they celebrate their world victory, they realized they forgot one town: Ponyville. Yet their star player seems driven for a very different, secret reason, and playing better than he ever did in his youth....

They're coming. They're bringing their A-game. And a chip on their leader's shoulder.

Part One of the trilogy, A Greater Menace.

My parents are gone for the day, leaving me to myself. So I decided to make the biggest mistake of my life by letting my curiosity bring me to venture into the "forbidden" room. I had no idea that my plan to have a great day to myself and my girlfriend would be ruined just by turning the knob, and pushing the door open. Or so I thought it was ruined. (Rainbow Dash TF)

Aecorum was once the High Prince of the Sea, who stood alongside Celestia and Luna in the battle with Discord and helped rule over Equestria. But after he used the Elements of Harmony with Celestia to banish Nightmare Moon, he left. He blamed himself for what had happened, so he erased himself from history and from the memories of everypony in Equestria, even Celestia herself! He trapped himself in a network of caves by the sea, and lived in solitude for a thousand years. But now Luna has returned, she has regained her lost power, but she can’t find her old friend. What will happen when she discovers what he did? Will she find the stallion she considered her dearest friend and convince him to return? Or will he remain alone with his guilt and shame forever?

Once, she'd had children. So strong, so brave, so many. Once, she'd been strong, and warm, and loving, and her Blessing spread like wildfire among the pitiful humans. Until she'd been betrayed. Killed. Imprisoned. Cursed.

Now she has returned, and nothing shall stop her. She has allies. She has, for the first time she can remember, friends. Her family will spread throughout this new world, and she will not fail. Elizabeth Greene will not repeat her past mistakes, she will be victorious in her quest.

After all, third time's the charm.

For antiquity, featured 6/1/2014 and 7/20/2014.

Life in Ponyville, outside of the usual events like a parasprite invasion or a revenge-seeking, all powerful megalomaniac kicking out the town librarian, tends to be laid back and typical. Which Applejack doesn't mind. However, after the CMC cause more problems due to influence from a newcomer in town, Applejack gathers the girls to go fix what the CMC did.

But then a mysterious creature ends up attacking Applejack, and while she survives and seems fine, it isn't long before she starts acting strangely. It's up to the usual group of ponies to figure out what's going on before it's too late.

Rainbow's hopes for a nice day off are dashed when she is awakened by a loud explosion, and goes to investigate, little did she know she and everypony in Equestria would find themselves caught up in a strange tale about invaders from another time, a dark and vengeful entity's return, and the means to stop him...

Earthbound/Mother 2, Equestria style! I know it's been done a few times before, but I thought I'd give it a try. A couple events are altered, added, and a few changed around, so that it can fit the characters and setting more rather then be a ponified walkthrough.

Now has a sequel!
