It has been said that no mission plan survives first contact with the enemy. During a mission to investigate a Cobra stronghold, a small team of GI Joes finds themselves under attack, and are catapulted into a completely different dimension along with their mortal enemies. Can this outnumbered, outgunned group of heroes save this new world from the evil that is Cobra? Possibly, just a soon as these Technicolor equines get out of the way.
Set not long after the events of Equestria Girls, and will develop as an Alternate Universe Season 4.
Rated with the dark tag because Snake Eyes may have to stab something.
Edit 2/8/2015 Cover art by the talented _Vidz_. Thank you!
I own neither GI Joe nor My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This is a fan work that I am in no way endorsed for.
(But if Hasbro wants to hire me to write the next great cartoon series, My Little GI Joe, I can promise nothing but EPICNESS!)
Okay, here's how to modify text to be bold, italicized, and underlined.
For bold, you start the part you want to be in bold with [ b ] and end with [ /b ]. Minus the spaces separating the b from those brackets.
Same deal with italics and underlining. Just use u for underlining and i for italics.
Another option is to take a look at the toolbar for writing a story. You should be able to find buttons labeled B, I, and U.
And a third option is to simply use ctrl+b, ctrl+i, and ctrl+u. There you have it, three ways to use all three methods of modifying the text in a story.
Great beginning so far to an awesome story. Although I was slightly confused by what the Doctor was doing there. Overall, hope to see more soon.
3499764 thanks for the tips, I'll try that. I've been using MS Word to write the story, than copy/pasting onto fimfiction. Problem is, there seems to be a lot that gets lost in translation.
I was originally going to use italics to signify when Snake Eyes was signing something. But I've noticed a lot of other writers use italics to convey a person's thoughts. Suggestions?
3499829 Because he's the Doctor. The Doctor is cool. Plus, I do have plans for him in later chapters. Also, who else are you going to get to fix a big honking hole in the universe? As for how he knows the Joes, go check out fanfiction.net for a story titled The Serpent Incident by CrystalOfEllinon. It's the fanfic that introduced me to the brilliant-ness that is The Doctor.
3499844 Here's an idea. Have what Snake Eyes is signing be italicized and underlined to set it apart from when characters are thinking.
looks good, will read later.
might want to add to more groups like; the-writers-group, the-shameless-selfpromotion-bureau, struggling-authors, and pony-warfare
3504573 thanks for the tip
3504687 you're vary welcome
3564815 I feel I should apologize for the length of time between updates. Only excuse I have is finals at my school.
Rest assured, I am working on the next chapter, its just taking longer than I would like.
3566272 Oh okay. I just hope that this doesn't die before it can be completed.
3566677 believe me when I say, I have no intention of letting this fic die. My "read later" bin is stuffed with stories that I have been waiting for the authors to update, so I know how frustrating no updates can be to a reader. If finals is kind to me, I should be posting the next chapter by next weekend.
Well, Scarlett and Snake Eyes seem to be the ones in the most danger. After all, one of them unexpectedly barged into the Lunar Princess's bath while the other one only just barely managed to win against a manticore and is in danger of getting killed from his injuries.
Zecora and Roadblock also seems fairly interesting. I would like to see how they resolve their current standoff.
Fun fact that I forgot to post in the author's notes; in the G1 Joe cartoon, Roadblock was characterized by constantly rhyming almost every line of dialogue. Remind you of anypony?
Wonder if that's where they got the idea for Zecora's character trait? LOL, probably not, but kinda a funny idea.
Scarlett/Royal Pony Sisters
Well Snake Eyes is passed out for the moment, so let's go with Scarlett and the sisters, to see how well she can explain the situation.
After that, Tunnel Rat and Babs because she needs to catch a break from those bullies.
CMC Ninja Ponies GO!
1.) Babs Seed/Tunnel Rat
2.) Trixie/ Snake Eyes
3.) CMC/ Kamakura
4.) Zecora/ Roadblock
When is the new chapter coming out? Who are we going to view next? Are we going to see how much trouble Scarlett is in? How many weeks will Zecora's and Roadblock's stalemate last? Are the CMC going to become the first ninja fillies? Are Trixie and Snake Eyes going to make it to Ponyville in time before Snake Eyes falls into a coma? Where are Babs Seed and Tunnel Rat going to go to hide? Did you know I'm going to keep asking you questions every four days until you post the next chapter?
3615446 Wouldn't you like to know?
Finals have me by the short hairs, unfortunately, but those should be over tomorrow, and then I plan to spend the weekend working on chapter three. As to who the next chapter will focus on, I'm leaving that up to you readers. I'll tally the comments this Friday, and decide who to start with after that. By all means, pester away, I get all kinds of yummy feelings every time someone comments.

3639452 Myes, may I help you?
3639641 I'm going to give you a break since you have finals to bitch-slap, so yeah.
3639660 Much obliged, but finals are finally over
. If you want more info on the next two chapters, please visit my blog.
New chapter! YEAH!
Only found one mistake, though:
I'm pretty sure you mean 'way' instead of that second 'by'.
3648584 That was my Texan brain attempting to write a Scottish accent.
3648646 Hey.
(Since this is so awesome, I won't bother you with exactly 47 'Hey'(s), which I have done for other authors.)
Hey. Hey. Hey. Listen!
Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey.Hey. Listen!

3830604 If you're wondering where the next chapter is, go read my blog. This chapter man, just... this @#$% chapter.
3831020 If you need some help, just ask. I'll gladly edit it for you, as well as give some pointers on certain things.
3831097 much obliged pardner, I may take you up on that
3831202 I'm glad to hear, and am/will be happy to help!
...WHERES THE CHAPTER!!!
3869221 Sorry for the delay, it's currently being preread and edited.
Very nice. You managed to get exactly the balance you were hoping to achieve.
Of course, there is still the matter of her crazy ninja boyfriend being severely injured, with only a certain Great and Powerful showmare aware of his plight. But you know what? Perhaps you could intertwine that plot thread with the Zecora/Roadblock standoff. After all, manticores are native to the Everfree, so you could have the tension between the two rhymers be broken by Trixie showing up, asking for Zecora's help!
You were rivht about taking a while, but time goes slower for people with ADD so you took an eternity to complete this.
Whatever.
I feel you when you say that names are hard to come up with.
3886300 Are... you saying that I have ADD, or that you do?
3887385
Shhhh.
I'm watching superbowl commercials.
3887741 DON'T IGNORE ME, DAMNIT!!! I'M ASKING YOU...ooh look, something floaty!!!

What a terrific first chapter. You're definitely going for the Joe here.

The adventure is just beginning. Another excellently written chapter, yo!

Cobra's point of view was fantastically well done this chapter!
4016133 What is it about villains that make them so fun to write? The chance to explore the darker side of life? To let go, and imagine what could be going through the mind of evil?
The real challenge will come when I start trying to write for the Equestrian villains, Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis. With Cobra and co., I have the advantage of many years of watching cartoons and reading comics.
Scarlett and the royal sisters are off to a rough start. I'm sure it'll all boil over once they talk things out. :)
