After Mario had left to save the princess yet again, Luigi had been all alone with nothing to do but tend to the house. After going out to check on the mail, he finds a strange light glowing in the deep reaches of the forest around the house...

Luigi quickly investigates and finds a portal, which violently tears him from his dimension into a new one, Equestria.

After accepting Luna's deal, he now has to willingly defend the new world that is Equestria, and learn more about the wonders of friendship and himself...

Did you ever wonder why Rainbow Dash had a rainbow mane and nobody else did?
Maybe it never crossed your mind that a rainbow is more than a superficial trait.
A little while after Rainbow fails her Wonderbolt audition, her friends begin to notice that her iconic rainbow mane and cyan coat are literally leaking color, leaving behind a shallow, lifeless shell of what Rainbow Dash used to be.
Without the old Rainbow Dash, everything seems to be thrown out of balance in Equestria, and the elements of harmony can't function. Together, they attempt to bring back color to the one they care for he most.
Through medical study and the magic of friendship, Equestria will finally understand Rainbow Pegasus ponies, and the existence of rainbows entirely.

Terry McGinnis: Average high school student and the Batman of the 21st century. He's fought many foes like Shreik and Inque, but never has he been sent to an alternate universe known as Equestria.
Now the dark knight is set with the ultimate test: to find a way to return back to his home in Gotham City.
And to defeat an unstoppable enemy.

My name is Oswald Mandus. I am many things. An architect, a businessman, a tinkerer. I am several things, and I admit 'monster' could be one of them. But I am also something far worse than a monster.

But what, you may ask yourself, is worse than being a monster? Well, I'll tell you. It's quite simple, really.

What's worse than being a monster, is being the secret-keeper to a greater monster.

Ponies are enslaved. Humans are in control.

Nolan Anderson didn't want to be whisked away to a land full of discrimination and judgement. Yet he was there anyway. He just wanted to get by another day in his own world, no matter the hardships. Being a part of S.W.A.T. meant being the best he could be with what he could do. Little did he know he would apply his skills in a magical world, where the ponies think he's an evil human, and where the humans think he's a pony sympathizer. As crazy as everything is, Nolan wants to get back home, a feat that seems impossible, even in a world full of magic. However, the difficulty won't be getting back to where he belongs, but finding allies in a place where trust is rarely given, and earning it still.

I have never been a part of S.W.A.T., nor have I done extensive research on it. I have only taken a quick look at some procedures, weaponry, and armor for the purposes of this story. If you find something that doesn't seem right, please let me know. Also note I have taken a few liberties with how S.W.A.T. works that I will not change.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been close friends for a long time and, for some reason Rainbow Dash has never been able to understand, it seems as if everyone she knows expects them to get together eventually. To Rainbow Dash's surprise, Applejack abruptly decides that their friends are right and asks her out on a date. To Applejack's surprise, Rainbow Dash immediately turns her down.

Unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, Applejack is nothing if not stubborn, and she declares that she won't give up until Rainbow Dash has agreed to go on a date with her, no matter what it takes.

Winner of the second AppleDash group contest.
