Celestia believed that by banishing Nightmare Moon to the moon, she had removed the threat once and for all. She was wrong. Nightmare Moons influence lingered in Equestria, and the seeds of a new order were sown.

Over one thousand years later, those seeds have begun to sprout, as unwitting ponies realized they've been offered something they've sorely missed in their lives.

GLaDOS is free of Chell, free to continue testing, when she discovers a portal gun Wheatley tried to repair with duct tape. When the portal gun catastrophically fails, the enrichment center, GLaDOS, and Chell are literally dropped in the middle of Equestria. The mute test subject soon finds the world of ponies far more welcoming than the human world. But GLaDOS sees possibilities. Let the testing begin... for science.

A strange artifact arrives at Twilight's library and turns her into a dragon. From there, everypony she touches suffers a similar fate and the contagion begins to spread! Twilight and her friends struggle to avoid spreading it further in this comedic misadventure of dragons and the fiery spells they weave. Can Twilight find a cure?

It has been 1000 years and finally the curse that was placed on the dark queen Nightmare Moon has been broken. Now she awakens with a group of her former croonies: Trixie Lulamoon her daughter, Zecora the monster maker, and Gilda a loyal yet vicious Griffon soldier. This frightens Equestria's guardian, Princess Celestia, who calls together a team of ponies ready to defend the world from Nightmare Moon's dark forces. A team only known... as The Mighty Morphin' Pony Rangers.

This story, while it will have some camp, is written as an attempt to show a darker nature to The Power Rangers stories since nearly all the other ones that I've seen on here, while good, are every bit as campy as the original versions were which I'm not faulting at all as it is the author's stories and not mine. I hope you enjoy this story, however, and stick around for more because darkness lurks around every corner.

Shendu the Demon Sorcerer of fire was feared by all until he was sealed. After being defeated by the Chans for the final time and being banished alongside his son, he soon met up with his brothers and sisters. After they decided Drago made a better demon sorcerer, they tryed to kill Shendu, but their spell and the spell Shendu cast trying to escape clashed and caused unforseen consequences.

In a last act of defiance, King Sombra not only dragged the Crystal Empire with him to his thousand-year imprisonment, but the Elements of Harmony as well. And so, with the rise of Nightmare Moon, the course of history was forever altered.

A thousand years later, on the Eve of Hearth's Warming, a certain young dragon is tasked with overseeing some of the preparations for the upcoming celebration, with a strange addition to the list; make a few friends. He can't imagine why; it's not as though the fate of Equestria depends on it.

But neither could he imagine the return of the dark king on that very night, and never would it cross his mind that he would soon embark on a journey to the north to stop him, with a group of strangers by his side.

Spike has been feeling lonely lately. Everyday he watches Twilight go off and have fun with her friends while he does the same thing: clean, and do chores. His luck seems to change though when he and Twilight find a flyer for a circus. With Twilight's friends, Spike goes to the circus with them. At the circus, Spike meets and befriends the circus performers and show him true love and friendship. Tired of being left out or not being loved by the others, Spike decides to leave Twilight and the others for his new friends. Will they get the baby dragon back?

Do note this was written originally on my DeviantART account and came out before season 2 of Friendship is Magic. This was my first fic as well so I know I won't accept a lot of praise or anything here. I do appreciate you all reading it though.

I don't own these characters, they are the property of Hasbro and Lauren Faust. OC ponies and story are mine.

It's been a rough day for Twilight Sparkle. She was awoken in the middle of the night to save the town, had a chance to study an alien artifact ripped out from under her, and is now stuck with Applejack, Fluttershy, and her arch-nemesis Queen Chrysalis in some alien fighting tournament with a bunch of... things she doesn't even want to try and start describing without a cup of coffee and some asprin!

Indeed, Twilight and her friends have been summoned to join the latest Smash Brothers tournament! And as they explore the mysterious 'Smashworld' and meet new, colorful characters, they will be pitted head to head against new friends and enemies as well as each other! Can their friendships survive being forced to fight one another? Why are all the other 'smashers' so on edge? And what's with the bizarre being that purports to be the creator of this world, "the Master Hand?"

Only one thing is for sure. It's going to be a doozy.

THIS IS AN OLDER VERSION OF A FIC RE-WRITTEN HERE:

I'm keeping this up for archival purposes, however.
==================================================
==================================================

Rarity is accidentally sent to a dark, frozen alternate reality, where the pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies never resolved their conflict. In a world where unicorns are hunted and killed, Rarity's friends rush to her aid, only to find themselves quickly enmeshed in a great war, in a world in need of heroes.

The Order vindictively hunts unicorns and rules its citizens with an iron hoof. They claim the unicorns are responsible for the endless winter, and they claim their ruthless tyranny is necessary for the survival of ponykind against the cold, and they may be right.

The Ceruleans claim The Order must fall, that its cruel reign is what brings the winter, and the Ceruleans are willing to fight to bring a blue sky once more.

It is a world of heroes and villains on both sides, of powerful secret weapons that threaten to change the world forever, of powerful secret societies with mysterious and ambitious goals, and where magic is threatened by the dawn of powerful new technology. It is a world in turmoil, and a world in need of heroes of every kind.

It is a world apart from Equestria.

Be Awed and Amazed by the tale of Sweetie Belle as she traverses the multiverse in search of her lost mentor and friend, Twilight Sparkle! Will she find her in post-apocalyptic Equestria? Or maybe in a strange world where everypony is the wrong gender? Or even where a Pony claims to be a human? Read as she journeys through very familiar worlds you might have read about... if you dare!

At this point in time all the main worlds to be visited have already been chosen. Thank you all for the suggestions, and I hope you enjoy the surprises!
