At the brink of dawn, something crashes on the Everfree Forest, causing untold amounts of damage and displacing many creatures that called the dark and foreboding forest their home. When the dust settles, a massive construct of metal is revealed to be the perpetrator.

Lyra Heartstrings, as well as the rest of Ponyville, approach the ominous edifice only to find there's something inside...

...And that something really doesn't like ponies investigating its home.

This is a one-shot, alternate perspective to the events that occur in the first chapter of Unknown. (Subject to change)

In Equestria's distant past, long before the rule of Luna and Celestia, before even Discord and the endless winter, the three tribes of ponies lived united, but they were not alone.

Among the tribes lived another race, unskilled in magic, incapable of flight, and without the natural talent to farm, they relied instead on their strength, industriousness, and ingenuity to find their place amongst the ponies.

In their time they were known as great builders and artisans, a gentle hand molding the world of culture and bringing joy and shelter to all.

But history learned them by another name.

Knights, the great warrior race that faced the armies of Tartarus and perished in victory, or so the legend goes.

But as Princess Celestia, the Elements of Harmony, and all of modern Equestria shall soon learn, one should not put trust in the words of fairy-tales...

"Twilight, I'm sure you and the girls will be able to look after them. After all, they can't be that bad, right?"

When curiosity gets the better of Twilight, she summoned forth the Freaks.
When confusion overtook the Freaks, they realized they weren't at home.
When they weren't at home, they'd need to be looked after.
When looking after them, they must be fed.
Painis Cupcake was not fed.
He will eat you.

Heh, just thought it might be funny to see how the ponies would respond to different TF2 Freaks. After all, GentleSpy living with somepony with equally high tastes can only end well for my writing skills, correct?

Engineer and Sniper, the RED team's campers, are pretty much the best friends one might see on a battlefield full of annoying teenagers with baseball bats and pyromaniacs who don't see things as they should. Engineer covers Sniper's back with Sentries, supplies the two of them with ammo, and in return, Sniper spychecks, defends Engineer, and gets rid of enemy Snipers.
However, after an incident involving a sapper, Razorback, and malfunctioning teleporter, the two are sent to a dimension where it's all the things Sniper and Engineer dislike. Nay, the things they hate. So how will the two get back to their camping, Nopeing, and Pissing? And why are the two replacements sent by the mysterious Grey Man so...mechanical?

Please. Somebody stop me from posting these stories. Rated Teen for mild language.

A Juggernaut, one of the most deadly foot soldiers on Earth, wakes up from cryosleep to find his ship crash-landed in a foreign location. With seemingly nobody surviving but he, the Juggernaut dons his armour for a final time and prepares to go out guns blazing.

When he makes it outside, he is confronted with something that will shake his very foundations of life.

Written for a friend that has supported me since the beginning.

Equestria didn't know what to expect. The Griffin nation had grown tired of politics. They wanted land and they wanted it yesterday. The Diamond Dogs were tired of being cut off from the prosperous wealth Equestria had to provide. Even a few ambitious dragons felt they wanted in on the action. With enemies on all sides and the arrival of war becoming inevitable, Princess Celestia decided she needed to use the elements of harmony to summon a hero.
They got me, and boy are they in for it.

Note: This is my first story ever. So I would really appreciate constructive criticism on both story and grammar.

My name is Jace Beleren, and I'm a Planeswalker. I am a powerful mind-mage, specialising in blue magic, and I sometimes don't get on well with people.

Now, is one of those occasions. Or more importantly, was, as I am now stuck in a strange plane with no way out... And stuck with the most short-tempered Planeswalker I know, Chandra Nalaar.
I need a way out, and fast.
