The mane six plan a vacation to the beach, and Twilight invites Starlight to go with them.

Undergoing heavy rewrites: thank you for your understanding

Equestria is drained of magic. Unicorns can barely levitate, pegasi find themselves straining to move clouds and fly. Earth ponies are weak, and their growth is far less than normal. they are all cursed, such that no pony can go near any other pony not of their own kind.

And it is slowly failing. What remains decays, the magic too thin to continue on. Equestria has one last chance to find harmony, or it will die, and the magic will be gone. It will be hard, almost impossible really, a fool's errand if not for the grave importance of the task.

Six mares are the only ones who can help. And they can do it, should they try. there is really only one problem;

Nopony knows about the decay. Nopony chose those mares but destiny. They need to accomplish a task without knowing it, how to do it, or even that it is something that needs to be done. And they must:

Or everypony will find death when the magic finally fades.

After leaving the school late at night from helping out a friend Flash is walking home when he spots a homeless little kitty. And wanting to take the kitten with him and give the little kitty a home it quickly runs into a nearby alley. Thinking that the kitty didn't want his offer decides to continue on home. Until...

Takes place while Thorax is living in the Crystal Empire.

After learning about comics and superheroes from Spike, Thorax gains some first hand experience after a heroic act. But becoming Equestria's newest superhero includes all of the dangers and trials heroes face in comic books.

Princess Celestia has trained her three apprentices, Sunset, Trixie and Twilight, to become the newest generation of the Knights of the Realm, protectors of Equestria. Their abilities and morals are unquestionable, and they're also perfectly willing to become the heroes Equestria needs. However, something had to give, and in the process of turning them into the future Legendary Heroes, those three ended up becoming particularly eccentric in their methods and quirks. This is the start of a very silly era of heroes.

They're gone... and they're never coming back.

It was a spontaneous decision, one that I regret every waking moment. At the time, when I had to choose between my friends and all the alicorn magic in Equestria, I didn't answer the question fast enough.

They're dead now, and the worst part? I won.

With Twilight soon coming back from Canterlot. Her friends cant wait to surprise her with there welcome home party. But as it starts to get late, Rainbow brings out the new horror film and pops it in the projector. Its just that.. Twilight is a little more than scared to watch it.

This is my first story! :)

Two halves of the same whole. Day and night, darkness and light. Everything has its opposite. Celestia and Daybreaker, Twilight and Midnight, Nightmare Moon and Luna. Everypony has their opposite. Imagine a character that could split ponies in half, could create evil versions of good ponies and good versions of evil ponies. Now imagine that character was an evil pony with a mysterious backstory who refused to be seen by anyone except the evil sides of those he had split. Paranoia about Celestia or something. He also happened to be behind the creation of Nightmare Moon. Now he and Nightmare have a plan that includes the bearers of the Elements of Harmony.

Fighters live for their next battle. They fight until they taste the dirt of defeat. But that was never supposed to be a part of Twilight Sparkle's schedule. Once, she was a promising student for Unicorns everywhere, and now... She's a bar fighter.
She says she'll leave Ponyville one day and return to her life as an accomplished scholar. But her new "friends" at Knuckle Brick Corner have made that more difficult than it needed to be.
Now she'll either have to learn to fight or learn how to fight better. As Equestria's rising contender for the most skilled fighter. Starting at the bottom of the loser's bracket.

[Please read the author's notes after the expansion before reading. Thank you]

Welcome to the new Equestria, Twilight Sparkle. See your friends at each other's throats? You have to choose between them now, to stop the heartache of war with decisive victory. For the nation lies bleeding, its harmony shattered into a million pieces. Black and white and right and wrong have blurred together.

You must choose wisely, or all shall die.
