10,000 years ago, Humanity charted the stars and created an empire to survive the ages. They created a society of such power and might, they thought nothing would dare stand against them.

They were wrong.

The Hydra, a race wholly dedicated to the annihilation of Mankind, plunged the fledgling empire into cataclysmic war. For 50 years Humanity fought, but ultimately they lost.

On the eve of humanity’s destruction, 10 humans were interred in cryogenic sleep and sent to a planet Humanity had terraformed: Eques.

For 10,000 years the humans slept, only to awaken In a universe they no longer recognized, on a world full of many multitudes of creatures from myth and legend.

However, something stirs in the darkness. Something long thought to have been defeated, and should the Humans fail, it will plunge all of Eques into darkness.

A/N: hey everyone, I’ve decided to try writing my second story on the platform.

Now this one has a weird background to it: back when the FIM was in its second or third season, I was trying to find a fanfic about the return of Discord. Instead, I found a rather unique HIE fic. It was nothing amazing; the writing was ameuterish and the story was a bit cliched and predictable, but for some reason I loved it.

I built a whole world out of it, tried to imagine what would happen next, and even made some of my own worldbuilding for it.

Right before it’s last chapter was to be published, the author decided he was going to revise the whole story. He did, but it stopped updating before the halfway point and he took it down from Fanfiction.net a year ago. This greatly disappointed me.

However, I’ve read the fic so many times I basically have it memorized and saved the revised version, and since I have way too much free time on my hands, I decided to rewrite it and post it on the platform.

I like to to think of it as a type of recursive fan fiction, and give credit of the story and eight of the human characters to Hawkeye 35 (who also wrote the story COLTS)

Also, bear with me regarding the story image. There wasn’t much that would fit for my incredibly specific story so I had to settle on a sci fi soldier.

Sweet Sauce was once a Stallion of renown and stature, a pony others respected and admired. Unfortunately for him, all that success eventually turned to pride, and ended with a sentence of banishment from Equestria.

There was no term to his sentence--but Sweet Sauce was not the kind of pony to surrender. He had centuries to reflect, to reconsider, and to gather power for his triumphant return. But perhaps he should've spent a little more time.

His incredible spell worked, returning him to the world of his birth. But instead of his own powerful body, he's now a small, useless earth pony, in a world that has forgotten he ever existed. Sweet is determined to make up for his mistakes, and to prove to the princesses of Equestria that he is a changed pony.

Too bad he looks like a homeless little colt without a cutie mark.

A distress call issues from a mansion in the snow-capped peaks of the Crystal Mountains. One of the six young residents is reporting evidence of a changeling among them. The Royal Guard rallies to their remote location with all haste, but they are days away—they have charged Detective Pesco and his apprentice Bluebird with investigating the scene in advance.

There's nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. Identity is a delicate thing, and the changeling's isn't the only one on the brink of unraveling.

A novel-length mystery (social deduction, closed room, limited suspect pool) with an emphasis on character drama. Entirely original cast split among canonical and semicanonical MLP species: ponies, griffons, reindeer, zebra—and among them, the changeling.

Assumed to take place prior/alternative to the changeling reformation in season 6.

Nay for valor,

or thirst for blood,

we serve the crown,

a crushing flood,

every's duty,

to protect each other,

less we fail,

and lose one another...

He had failed.

An eight year war has been going on between the creatures of Equestria and huge monsters called Kaiju. To combat these monstrosities, the creatures banded together and let go of old rivalries and created monstrosities of their own; Jaegers.

When the war went sideways however, it's up to a has-been and a rookie to save the world.

March 11 2022: This will not be a direct copy and paste with names swapped around, nay, this is based on Pacific Rim but it will have my own ideas and twists besides the 'has-been and rookie part.'

March 28 2022: I wasn't inspired to continue this, but I'll post what I have cuz why not.

March 30 2022: I wasn't expecting such a good response, so I guess I'll continue. But don't expect it to come out so fast.

November 19 2022: Just a heads up for those who are curious, I'm not going to go back and fix mistakes. It shows how my writing has improved over time and hopefully makes it a more satisfying experience. At least, in my opinion.

After defeating Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Queen Chrysalis with the help of her dear friends, Princess Twilight Sparkle is about to truly ascend to the throne and rule over Equestria in both Luna and Celestia's stead. Unfortunately, her ascension isn't what she was expecting, and a shocking revelation is made.

Foreknowledge of 'Ark: Survival Evolved' isn't entirely necessary, but it does help nonetheless.

Editor: Demondude.

Matilda was one among many griffons sent as tribute after Equestria defeated Gryphonia in a great humiliating battle. There she is put to work the great boilers of Canterlot Palace from morning till evening, constantly providing hot steaming water for the day's use.

Making friends is difficult for Matilda, though she wants to try. Living life is harsh because she was a citizen of a disgraced nation, though she is proud of her heritage. Having ambitions is impossible because it would take a lifetime to earn her freedom, though she does not stop dreaming about it.

Until she begins to discover the power of Friendship and Harmony for herself.

Follow her as she writes about her thoughts, feelings, opinions, and wishes, in a simple journey of self-discovery, humor, and longing.

Peace.

A concept that many beings strive tirelessly for throughout their existence, yet also might never have the privilege to see.

A concept that the whole of Equestria might finally be able to enjoy for a good long while.
Nightmare Moon has been defeated and Princess Luna restored, the changeling invasion was repelled, King Sombra was banished eternally and the Crystal Empire returned to its former glory, and even Discord himself was eventually reformed towards a better state. Indeed, it could be said that the ponies of Equestria might finally be able to relax and recuperate from many an averted crisis.

But peace is a fragile thing...is it not?

Since her recovery, Princess Luna has been pushing herself ever harder towards finally gaining her subject's acceptance that she longs for so much. However, as the months drag on, the stress has slowly begun threatening to bring her towards the breaking point. Whilst seeking out what she believes might finally show the ponies that she only means well, the Princess of the Night happens to stumble upon something not ever once seen upon the face of the planet. A piece of ancient knowledge, all but completely lost to the passage of time.

However, even the greatest of knowledge...has the potential for unmatched destruction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I won't ask that you take it easy on me, only that you try to keep any criticism on the constructive level (unless I do something blatantly stupid and abhorrent...). In turn, I will do my absolute best to take all of your suggestions to mind, and attempt improve the story in any fields necessary.
All in all...it won't be perfect, but it is my greatest hope that it will in some way pique your interests.

This story is a sequel to The Voices Inside My Head

Nightmare Moon has. . . adjusted, to her "roommates". But that doesn't mean they still aren't as annoying as ever.

But that's a matter for a different time.

Right now, she has a country to run. Too bad she can't run it alone, if the voices inside her head has anything to say about it.

Nightmare has it all. Everything she worked for is now hers. Equestria? Check. Eternal night? Double-check. But there's always a price to pay. For Nightmare Moon? It's the two voices in her head. But the solution may lie in the kitchen.
