A botched viewing spell has sent Twilight Sparkle to Earth and into the care of Kyle West. Having been turned into a human, the local species, Twilight Sparkle relies on her host to help her as she finds a way back to Equestria. And, in the meantime, she decides to learn about humans and the world they live in; the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly.

Now With TV Tropes Page!

When a mysterious comet changes the already rather abraisive dragons of Equestria into seemingly mindless titanic beasts of destruction, the inhabitants of Equestria are forced to flee for their very lives. Driven to the frozen north the survivors dig in and prepare to make their last stand in the Crystal Empire. Fortunately they have a new weapon that can hopefully match the dragons power. The giant mecha know as Sleipnir.

( Dark tag is for possible character death and ample amounts of gore. If you gonna fight monsters its gonna get messy no? )

( This story is not exactly a crossover. Its more of an amalgamation of sorts between MLP and ideas inspired by Pacific Rim, with a heavy sprinkle of mecha anime thrown into the mix, because my muse is a mecha junkie. Tags and rating may change depending on future chapters. )

Twilight Sparkle, Arcane Mage, knows that there is some truth to the story of Nightmare Moon, but her mentor, Princess Celestia, dismisses the matter in a heartbeat. She sends Twilight to the town of Magiville to oversee preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration, much to Twilight's distaste.
Unbeknownst to her, the darkness is gathering in Mystica. Assassins lurk in the shadows, Undead gather in the forest, werewolves sharpen their claws, and criminals and mercenaries prepare themselves.
To win the coming battle, Twilight will have to rely on her wits, her magic, and the five mages she's been saddled with. No matter how much they annoy her.
Rated teen for violence and language. Humanized, action-y. Based on the first two episodes, with some large changes made.

Since her banishment, Nightmare Moon has planned her Revenge. Now her 1000 year imprisonment has ended and she is out to take what is hers.
However the young Arcane Mage, Twilight Sparkle, will do all she can to stop Nightmare Moon, but Nightmare Moon is not alone as she has formed a small but powerful army.
However Twilight is also not alone, as five other mages, Applejack The Paladin, Rainbow Dash The Elementalist, Fluttershy The Druid, Rarity The Enchantress & Pinkie Pie The Jester will stand by her.
Can they save Mystika from Eternal Night? What will Nightmare Moon employ to achieve her goal? And will Twilight learn the Magic of Friendship

You're currently on a plane headed from Manehattan to Canterlot, long after a tragedy that befell you and your family and put you in an orphanage for years. Soon you'll have a new start and begin your education at a new school. But not everything is peaceful in Canterlot.

Magic, monsters, and everything in between have been rumored to happen, but you've yet to see it, but you'd call yourself a hypocrite if you said that it wasn't believable. A whole other world is hidden within the one you reside in; when the clock strikes midnight, a realm of nightmarish proportions reveals itself, but you always believed you were the only one who could see it, you call it, "The Nightmare Realm."

With new friends and adventures on the horizon, you and those around you will be thrust into a great mystery that only you can solve, the mystery of the existence of the Nightmare Realm.

Also, what is the "Velvet Room"?

Equestria is a vast place with many corners that remain unexplored. For most the pursuit to fill in the map is driven by an urge for knowledge, prestige, or wealth. Although, in the case of Twilight Sparkle and her rival Trixie, it all started over an impulsive bet.

So join Twilight and her crew as they travel the world aboard the airship Discovery, in a quest to explore the unseen, discover new things, find fabled treasures, and one up that egotistical showmare.

Oh, and try not to get sweet talked by cannibals, killed by cultists, or scared off by dashingly handsome highwaystallions.

This fic is inspired by the game Renown Explorer: International Society.
