The Nexus is a powerful multi-dimensional machine that rips heroes and villains from their homeworlds and sets them against each other on battlefields in far off destinations (for reasons that no one can explain)! Under normal circumstances, it just takes characters from the worlds of Blizzard Entertainment (Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo). But in celebration of the new season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and the announced release date of Heroes of the Storm (tm), the Nexus has sent some of Blizzard's greatest champions to battle the holders of the Elements of Harmony in Equestria!

Now, with Princess Twilight trapped inside their team's Core, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity must take their team of 5 to the lanes to battle in DotA-style to save their friend, and their base, in Ponies of the Storm!!!!

(I recommend changing your chapter reading format to have a dark background to read this. You'll see why.)

*IMPORTANT*
Time to get real for a second. I'm not going to finish this story. There are two main reasons.
1. Activision's influence over Blizzard has soiled a once beloved company. Their premature halting of development on Heroes of the Storm showed their love, not for creation and entertainment, but for profit. The same with the mishandling and understaffing of Warcraft 3 Reforged. A company exists to make profit, I understand that. However, after things like the Diablo Immortal incident and the Blitzchung fiasco, I can see they no longer aim to please fans and make money at the same time.
2. More importantly, after the recent allegations that have come to light (July 2021) about the behind-the-scenes activities at Blizzard themselves, I can no longer support them as a company. It hurts. I love their characters and their games, but... unless they clean house and really fix their internal issues, I cannot give them another penny. I will not give them any additional positive attention by continuing this story. Can you "separate art from the artist?" Do you stop watching movies or shows if a lead actor has been shown to have done something despicable? Can you be sure every name listed in the credits is always a well-behaved human? What percentage of the people involved in a piece of media can do something wrong before the whole thing is tainted? I think many people have had to deal with these questions in recent years. Whether you do or not is for each individual to decide. As for me, in this case, the artist has ruined the art for me.

Wow when next fight going to been?

Let me guess: They're going to keep getting beaten down by their more experienced and hardcore opponents, but they will regroup adjust quickly enough to hold their own and perhaps even make a comeback through a few decisive victories, determination, and a fuck-ton of luck, sparing them from having to keep fighting in the Nexus.
However, if they lose, Equestria will progressively get more and more roped into the enigma that is Heroes of the Storm and more matches with more heroes will have to take place in order for them to maintain their standing in the cosmos and ultimately free themselves from the competition for good.
Or it may catch on in Equis and become an insanely popular sport with the Mane 6 becoming regulars.

Am I in the ballpark on this or what?

Predictions aside though, this is fucking amazing. I especially like the banter you have going between the characters. And the thought of The Lord of Terror and the Broodmother getting knocked around by the Mane 6 has me in stitches.

Oh this has SO much potential! Already my mind is going off on tangents on how this is going to turn out. Is this going to be the only match, or will there be more after this one? And if there is will villains be making an appearance too? Other heroes? Raynor and AJ chatting after the match? Maybe Twilight will get a chance in the arena. And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

But despite my musings, your the author here and what you say goes. I hope this story continues to the very end because you can expect me to be keeping tabs on this one until then.

I honestly hope the ponies lose the first match not only so that this can continue but because they shouldn't win with how inexperienced they are.

"Sorry, but that ain't enough time," Raynor said with a smile. Applejack looked up at him in terror. Raynor's visor still covered his face. The skull looked down mockingly at Applejack. He voice came out of the speakers, muffled and crackling. "That was a good effort, kid. Piece of advice though, since you're new: don't waste your cooldowns."

You got that right Jim Raynor.

I was wondering where this chapter is.

Please continue this.

Please continue this. Also, when will Celestia and Luna appear?
