The Storm King has returned to Equestria, fully restored and stronger than ever! This time, he's made sure to account for a few important 'meddling ponies' in his plan alongside the princesses and other figures of power.
With the Bearers of the Elements trapped far away from Equestria, how will they ever save their home?
Well, the way they always do: With strange new friends and the powerful forces that have guided them all along.

My final entry for the Feghoof Festival, and the 11th place runner up!

** PLEASE NOTE: This is an extended-universe MLP story, which means it will primarily involve the races outside of Equestria for the most part. Most of this is post-movie headcanon, so, proceed with caution. **

A feud is taking place beyond Equestria, to the southernmost part of the world, where three countries have been in racially-induced troubles for the past few decades. Unfortunately for them, there is an ancient evil of unspeakable proportions that has been sleeping within their soil since ancient times, and it is threatening to surface and show its face at long last, destroying the surrounding areas in the process. However, there is a prophecy passed down through generations; through an ancient artifact of great power. And when an unknowing cult revives the Storm King, the wheels are set in motion.

Seven souls will embark on a long, incredible journey to thwart the ancient evil and send it back down to where it belongs once and for all.

And the combined power of three champions will save the day.

...But first, the newly-revived Storm King must go head-to-head with his demons, literal and figurative, of the past and present.

And that is not going to be an easy task.

This story is a sequel to Little Pony Story

It's easy to love toys that are adorable. But what about toys that need love, yet fear they'll never have it, because they think they're damaged or just not made to be loved? And how do you convince them otherwise?

Twilight and her fellow pony toys set out to find a Scootaloo to complete the Crusaders. And in the process, Twilight discovers there's a lot more to being Princess than she thought...

Silverstream is your typical peppy hippogriff. Even if she can get too excited, her friends still love her. Then one day, while she was in the library she found an old fashioned book. She decided to give it a read, but it wasn't for the faint of heart. She tries to forget about it, but something feels... Off.

Edit: New cover made from mellow91 from derpibooru

After being banned from coming to the wedding, Twilight leaves Equestria and becomes a member of the Storm King's army. This allows Twilight to become close friends with Tempest as Twilight swiftly rises to the rank of 2nd Commander and is renamed Sparkle Shadow.

(There won't be demons in this story... But the demons are always the ones with their darkest side shown...

This took place before and AFTER Storm King attacks Canterlot)

Rugen Solaris, a lost dragonet that's on a dark path of killing and bloodbath. No one really knew his past, as well as why he became what he is now. His real name may not be known all across the land of Equestria, but what his enemies called him... Petrifies them.

Hinokami.

(I used Rengoku as an example cuz I can't find anyone that's Demon Slayer related AND closest to a dragon.)

It was only the courage of Derpy Hooves and sheer luck, or perhaps the will of Harmony, that saved Princess Twilight Sparkle from Tempest Shadow's attack. If Derpy hadn't been nearby, if she hadn't bravely jumped in the way, if she hadn't been wearing a Princess Twilight costume, or if that costume hadn't fooled Tempest for just long enough, then Twilight Sparkle would have been captured along with the other princesses.

In another world, Derpy was a little farther away and Twilight was not so lucky.

Now it is up to the other Elements of Harmony and Starlight Glimmer to fight back. They find resistance fighters where they can, gathering up royal guards who escaped the attack, desperate townsponies with nothing to lose, and even the Spirit of Chaos himself (when he's in the mood). They strike where they can, disrupting supply lines and targeting weak outposts. It is a desperate battle, and one that they seem destined to lose.

Their greatest hope lies at the heart of Canterlot, with the four captured princesses. If they can free the Storm King's captives, they'll break his power and finally have a chance to free their beloved homeland. Unfortunately, that means getting past the Storm King's army, the King himself, and the one creature who may be even more dangerous than him: The brutal, ruthless, and seemingly unbeatable leader of his forces, Commander Tempest Shadow.

This story is a sequel to Unfriendship: Pony Gods

Two years have passed since the defeat of the Equestrian Magical Regime. Twilight is imprisoned in Tartatus along with her followers and Celestia is struggling to put Equestria back together. But when the Storm King and the villanous First Order appear on the scene, will she be able to swallow her pride and join forces with her former student and friend in order to save Equestria? Is there redemption to fallen tyrants? And how does a lone, orphaned unicorn named Luster Dawn come into the picture?

Based on "Injustice 2".

Fire.
Panic in the streets.
Canterlot lies in rubble and ruins, the citizenry in chains.
Calamity has come to Equestria.

But that's none of Derpy Hooves' concern. Leave that mess for the Heroes to deal with (they always win in the end, right?). Besides, she's got her own problems to deal with. Problems that take the form of a very tall and intimidating figure engaged in a very one-sided affection.
