The two Zeno Samas the kings of everything throughout the multiverse had announced that it was finally time for Beerus the God of Destruction to finally retire so that they can choose a new God of Destruction for Universe 7. Beerus has been called to Lord Zeno Sama's Palace in preparation for his "Honorable Exile". Beerus will be allowed to keep all of his powers but he will be sent to a pocket universe which holds the world of Equestria. Beerus makes a small request that Whis will accompany him and serve the purple cat in his retirement but unfortunately gets his request denied by the Past and Future Zeno deity. Whis needs to stay behind to find and train another candidate for the role of being the next "God of Destruction" of Universe 7. After a few words and goodbyes, Beerus gets sent by Zeno Sama to Equestria and in Canterlot of all places during the preparation for the first Friendship Festival.

The Friendship Festival turned into a celebration of the defeat of the Storm King, and things are getting interesting. Capper and Celaeno are trying to drink each other under the table. Queen Novo and Princess Celestia are reopening trade negotiations, with Skystar and Twilight doing their best to help and one of the Storm King's Mooks can only wonder what do with his life.

It's going to be a long night.

Today, 3 years ago, My Little Pony: the Movie was released in theatres. Whilst not popular with mainstream critics, it was a box office smash hit, and generally well received by bronies.

To mark this special anniversary, four stories are in order. What sort of stories? Read on to find out!

This is a trial of a new format for TF stories; rather than upload lots of oneshots and confuse everybody, group them together into one story instead.

Some dreamers are just better at it than others.

This story is a sequel to YOU HAVE BUCKED UP NOW.

Twilight Sparkle has had it up to HERE with having to dole out punishments, reprimand authority, and in general be left out of all the fun things. So when the Cutie Map sends her on her own expedition to foreign lands with a bunch of her friends and a bird pirate, she jumps at the opportunity.

There was a lot of booze involved. And shoggoths.

This story is a sequel to Something Of A Tender Moment

Note: This is an alternate sequel to For The Love of A Mother. Read it first and then the prologue.

Azure Glide, former prince and captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard, had been in a self-imposed exile for a decade over a certain incident that shook him to his core. He comes to Princess Twilight Sparkle with a favor to ask of her. After all that time, why would he return?

Note 1: This was written during the time when the final episodes were first leaked. I planned on releasing this the day after MLP ended.

Note 2: For the courtesy of others, please spoiler anything related to the plot in the comments. Thank you. :)

Most things had returned to normal following the Festival of Friendship, but Tempest felt there was still one matter to be settled. It had been no easy feat convincing the pirate captain to travel with her, much less alone and unaware of the destination. But having the Princess of Friendship on your side could do wonders, apparently.

Subject 0976, or known as Apex, is a man-made Yautja, he is made to replace soldiers in US Army. Apex was made from many predators DNAs, including the Yautjas they caught and killed from the past years. But when a experiment went wrong, Apex escaped the facility. After an intense fight, Apex was blown up by a bomb. When he woke up again, this warrior found himself in the magical land of Equestria, but our favorite ponies and their new made friends were fighting Storm King's army in Canterlot. Apex can either choose to ignore this, or to help them...

Celaeno does her job the best she can, living day to day hoping that she can spare her crew the wrath of the Storm King. Most days, she's able to get through her work and go to bed at night feeling only mostly empty, rather than completely. Some days though... Some days are hard.

The Siege of Canterlot is over and the Storm King defeated but Tempest Shadow, unofficially the new leader of the Storm King's army and antagonist turned protagonist, realizes there are other nations still under the former tyrant's iron fist. Redemption on her mind, Tempest takes off to put an end to this conflict, but not without help from some new friends. But as she and the others soon find out, war is more complicated than it seems and may prove too much a challenge, even to the Princess of Friendship.
