This story is a sequel to Spark Visions of Twilight

Before a story starts, characters move into position.

Before events get set in motion, there are reasons they're set in place.

Before destiny calls, ponies simply live their lives.

((These are six short stories about the mane six's lives before Spark Visions of Twilight began.
Though these are technically prequel stories, it is advised to read the main story first. This is simply to flesh out the backgrounds of the main characters a bit more.

Now with an audio reading by Skijarama!

Now with a print version available for order!

A purple Alicorn shows up one night and then vanishes into thin air. Many wouldn't think anything of it besides how strange it was.

Not Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash has met that Alicorn before.

The implication it brings and the guilt that follows leaves Rainbow Dash with questions weighing on her mind.

Luckily, in the crushing pain of reality, she still has friends.

Twilight Sparkle is to ascend the throne and become the ruler of Equestria. Tirek, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Grogar have finally been defeated for good. You think this would be the end, right?

If only that was the case. Behind the scenes, ancient forces outside of Equus have been gathering. Every moment has been leading up to something unimaginable. An ancient past of secrets, legends, and war will finally begin to reveal itself. A war between two ancient forces, one friend, and one foe, is about to resume. This war will dictate the fates of not just Equus, but of the entire universe. And the secrets of an ancient prophecy will finally begin to be unraveled.

Notice: This author may upload chapters on a VERY inconsistent time schedule due to college occupying most of the author's time or just general burnout.

The unthinkable happens in the big city; millions are turned into ravenous monsters and flood the streets, devouring all in their path. Despite their advanced technology, the military can't stop them and survivors struggle with making it out alive.

Rainbow Dash is one of these survivors, and it is up to her and her ragtag group to try and turn back the tide of war.

Thanks to Rene9adeKni9ht for proofreading this sucker.

Closed Circuit is Ponyville's public radio evening news broadcaster on the show, Welcome to Ponyville.

He reports on the strange events happening around town: bizarre and unexplained lights, unknowable things, the supernatural, the super supernatural, the extra super-duper natural, and the unnatural; all of which, of course, exist. The City Council confirmed it must exist; it's the law!

So beware, ponies, of changeling infiltrators, and worship the sun.

This is kind of based on and written in the style of the Welcome to Night Vale podcast.

In this story of adventure, comedy, and probably every other tab, this will be an alternate universe that has characters from my other stories, or TV shows.

So, to start it off, a Fusionator Skylander is able to have more than one battle class. There are even new battle classes.

So, now on to our champions, you may know some of them.

For Water Skylanders, a hero from the deep blue sea emerges as the Leader of the Water Fusionators. For Magic Skylanders, a princess will be the Leader of the Magic Fusionators. For Fire Skylanders, a big red dragon with a bad attitude will be the Leader the Fire Fusionators.

Next, the Leader of the Life Fusionators, a green creature whose ears can make the sounds of trumpets. Next up, for those who like to be forces of nature and Mother Earth, we have a video game bad guy who is also a good guy on the outside of his game. That "guy" will be the Leader of the Earth Fusionators. If you want to spread fear to your enemies, then have no fear, for you have an Undead Leader whose weapon is none other than a scythe.

The Leader of the Light Fusionators, is none other than Portal Master Eon. For the Dark Fusionators, we have some kind of "alien" with a bad attitude like the Fire Fusionator Leader, and has a long tongue, and eats bad people.

Now, for the final two Leaders of the Tech Fusionators, and the Air Fusionators, we have two special creatures.

One for the Air Fusionators, is surprisingly yet another dragon with purple skin. and a silver mane. And finally, for those who like to play video games, watch TV, or anything else that is related to technology, we got a robot.

And now, for the foes they must face, we have Kaos, Malefor, Queen Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, Flim and Flam, and more.

Can this band of heroes get along and work together to save Skylands from the forces of evil. But, I want those who read this to find who these Fusionators are in the story.

Griffins have brought and allied with the Locust against Equestria. The Royal Guard and the Mane 6 must depend on the revived Dominic and his squad of revived Gears to help turn the tides of the war. I own only my OC's

(Warning; if your not familiar with Gears of War, you may be lost reading this story)
Two worlds that were never meant to connect. The apocalyptic war raging throughout Sera now finds itself raged in the magical land of Equestria. Ponykind finds itself allied with Humanity in order to survive not only the brutal and merciless nature of the Locust Horde, but that also of the dreaded and mutating Lambent.
Hero's will rise in these times of war, those who have already proven themselves saviors of there land will find themselves fighting a battle they have never fought. Lives will be lost, hearts will be shattered.

Such is the cost of war.

These are the Gears of War.

Note: The story begins with the Prologue and will later be put into sections marked as "Acts". These Acts will have their own chapters ranging from one to six at most, resembling the misson select system in the Gears of War games.

Subject matter contains coarse language, violence, blood and gore, and some sexually suggestive themes. Viewer discretion is advised.

(Description requires a few major changes to reflect the change in the story. Please be aware that this description is accurate for the majority of the story's setting, the beginning is not included yet.)

For Fifteen years, Celestia and the Northern half of Equestria have been in the hands of the most destructive enemy Equis has ever known, the Undead. For fifteen years, Shining Armor and Cadence, leading an order of ponies called the Argentum Solarium, have held the northern borders of the last surviving half of Equestria, Luna's Kingdom of Stormane. For fifteen years... Celestia, has been missing, and the sunlight that shines down upon all of Equis, has been cold, and unkind.

With rumors of the neighboring Griffon and Changeling empires gearing for war, and the Elements of Harmony, the six greatest heroes known to Equestria, broken and torn apart by their duties and responsibilities, will Equestria survive? And will the Undead, after fifteen years of remaining in the Fallen Kingdom, or the Shadowlands, finally march against the remaining life of Equis?

A/N: There is some romance in the story currently, but is not the main focus at all.
