This story is a sequel to Doctor Whooves Episode 19: The Rifts

The Doctor and his friends are busy celebrating Hearth's Warming Eve when an amnesiac, human Twilight Sparkle from another dimension appears with a cry for help. During the trip to this alternate world, the Doctor will have to save old friends, make new allies, face old enemies, and confront one of his greatest foes yet: himself.

The star system Omega Centauri was just another oddity on a map to scientists in the not too distant future. However when they found the star was orbiting an earth-sized, earth-like planet instead of a black hole as its motion had suggested, a mission was scrambled to investigate this most unusual of celestial behaviors.

Hamstrung by politics, and nearly crippled before it began, the 'Lone Ranger' mission was reduced to just one crew member and left to his own devices.

These are the logs of Arrow 18 and its lone commander. This information is classified TOP SECRET by the Global Space Agency.

Do NOT tell the princess.

Some things are hard to deal with. But the love of a family can fix a lot of problems.

It's been said in prophecies that nopony will know the time or date the magic of Equestria that empowers its citizens would leave. I thought it was just superstitious nonsense written by ancient witch doctors. In a sense, they were right. But I would have never expected it to come like this. —Princess Twilight Sparkle, 05/05/1268

AU tag added due to the Cutie Mark Crusaders getting Cutie Marked.

Echo is a high ranking changeling officer. The Canterlot invasion was going perfectly, and her battalion had personally defeated the Elements of Harmony. Suddenly, she finds herself far flung from Canterlot, crashing into the Everfree forest. Now she is faced with a difficult reality - her hive, the only family she's ever known, no longer exists, and she must adapt to life as a pony. What she finds out about herself, though, will surprise her.

Rated Teen for occasional suggestiveness and language, tagged gore for brief violence, particularly in later chapters.

Dark because later chapters get pretty ... well, dark.

Addendum 5/29/2018

This story is now, as of this addendum, five years old. It is getting more attention as I put out new chapters on the sequel.

I recognize that this story has problems, and that some of them by their nature carry over to the sequel; please remember that when I started writing this, I was not yet even old enough to legally drink in the US. A lot has happened and a lot has changed, and there are many things about this story I regret including, but which it is now too late to change. Some of those things I have simply done my best to ignore and make irrelevant, but some of them are errors from a 19 year old me that will haunt me until the sequel is finished.

In short, please be gentle.

It's not every day that a person in the middle of war gets his few moments of respite, but for a veteran blood knight, he gets more than a few moments.

Gai'vahros has had his fair share of experiences when it came to going to other lands and even other worlds, but when he's thrown from the war-torn continents of Azeroth to the happy, peace-loving land of Equestria with no way back, he knows that he'll have to learn to adapt to this place as best as he can or die trying -- and no amount of bubble-hearthing will save him.
