In unknown circumstances, Ichigo's inner Hollow (in its Vasto Lorde form) has found it's way to Equestria (thankfully, with sentience). Couple this with the fact he's got some memory loss, and Equestria could be in some serious strife. As if he wasn't dangerous enough...

*I've taken this story up at the permission of Bradledew Ender, so I'm thanking him for giving me something of a plot to work with.

Ulquiorra Cifer was defeated at the hands of a mere human and died in Las Noches. Or at least that's what he thought. In the boundary that separates life and death for all Hollows, he's found by one that finds him interesting enough to give a second chance at life free from Aizen's control, and free to do as he pleases; he was just never told that his second chance of life would take him to an alternate world he never could've imagined even if he tried.

The land of Equestria is a magical place full of hope, and second chances. In this land where friendship is considered the most powerful magic in existence, can the Cuatro Espada find something that's been missing and learn how to live? Or will his presence be the downfall of the peaceful world and all of its inhabitants?

Twilight Sparkle.

Princess of Friendship, Bearer of the Element of Magic, student to Princess Celestia.

Just how powerful is she? And why is she the best Alicorn princess?

All her greatest foes have the unfortunate pleasure of finding out the answer...

Rated T for TOTAL COMEDIC INSANITY Oh, and SPOILERS for the MLP Movie.

Secrets. Everypony has them, and as they get older the more numerous they become. Their benevolent ruler Celestia herself has lost track of just how many secrets she holds, but Twilight and Luna are going to find out quite a few of them. Follow Twilight and Luna as they discover things about themselves, and those dear to them, as memories and secrets are brought to the light.

Image - Done by Archonix.

Note - The writing is the earliest I have of what I've done. As such it's quite sloppy compared to my standards today. Slated for a rewrite/full editing in the future. At some point.

Celestia has become emotionally withdrawn and disconnected from her little ponies. The imprisonment of Luna compounded with the constant loss of any who got close to her, she has forgotten how to connect with another pony. Until a small, injured filly who is equally distant after the loss of her parents stumbles into Celestia's life. Now, both ponies will help the other heal and rediscover once more what it truly means to be a pony.

A 'Mommylestia' story, the concept of which has been in my head for some months. I will be sticking rather close to canon for events, the major differences are that Twilight's parents are dead, and Shining Armor is a few years older and already dating Cadance at the time of this incident. I plan to keep mostly everything else the same.

A AU take based on Rated Ponystar's fanfic series The Assassination of Twilight Sparkle and it's sequel Aftermath of a Fallen Star.

Twilight Sparkle has been assassinated in a conspiracy started by power hungry nobles, Princess Celestia attempts to revive her but fails, but what if her spell worked? What if Twilight Sparkle awoke just before the Civil War begins?

all OCs featured from the original story (c) their respective owners.

After failing to stop Nightmare Moon in the ancient castle of the pony sisters, Twilight Sparkle is left with a scar that will permanently change the rest of her natural born life. As Twilight recovers from her ordeal, she finds that she is left with a difficult choice. Either live her life as a lie or sacrifice her innocence to protect the ones she loves. The path before her is set and she must now walk it alone. The sands of time continues ever onward, with everyone already trapped in its muddy depths. The sun will rise and the sun will fall. Waiting for its call, Death awaits for all.

I just put the two together

Magic, the most powerful of the Elements Of Harmony, it binds them together and helps keep stability over Equestria. Cut that off and what happens? What happens when the threads of friendship are severed, and the flames of chaos are rekindled? For Twilight, her existence's end is simply the beginning to something much bigger. How will she act in a world deprived of the harmony it once held as a creature that must thrive on the blood that Equestria has lost?

Isolated from her friends and taken prisoner in the middle of a war, Twilight must deal with the very real dangers of being percieved as an enemy as well as the nightmares of her arrival on 'Earth'. Can she overcome her own fears and the fears of her captors? Will the wayward unicorn's assistance be a boon or a curse to the 'humans?' Most importantly, will she ever find her way home?

"In short, it's a story of friendship and plasma rifles, with the emphasis on the friendship. The characters are well written, the XCOM setting is fleshed out very well, and the story is compelling. If you love XCOM, you'll love the story, but even if you've never heard of it, it's more than worth giving the first 3 chapters a read.

There's excellent action later on, but the real strength lies in the collision between the friendly and naive world of Twilight Sparkle and the desperate world of humans fighting a losing war for survival and willing to do anything to turn the tide."

(Now with it's own TV Tropes page! Get to tropin' folks!)

Scorpan, brother of Tirek, is a wanderer of the wastelands that surround the land of Equestria. And when he feels his brother's escape, he wanders no more and heads for an island that is occupied by nothing but an unstoppable force of rage and hatred. A force that makes all the monsters of the wasteland quiver in fear, for this force is the King of them all. But he slumbers a deep slumber, as the monsters encased him into the heart of an island... But Scorpan knows how to wake his King, and is willing to sacrifice himself to his King so that Tirek can be stopped.

Tirek has consumed every ounce of magic in Equestria. He has consumed the magic of the ponies, he has consumed the magic of the Alicorns, and he has consumed the power of friendship. If there was only something that could stop him from making Equestria and The Everfree look like the rest of the world...

Folks, I made this because why not. Godzilla keeps everyone in line, and Lord Tirek is no exception to his rule over the monsters. The Final Wars Godzilla is being used in this fiction.
