In this retelling of the Friendship is Magic series, there will be many things different from the usual. Chief among them are the existence of three additional Elements of Harmony (which will be introduced later) and Spike getting more respect from the start.

This retelling is partially inspired by SuperPinkBrony12's MLP (What If?) series. (Start here if you're interested.)

If this is a rewrite of the series, can you let us know which episodes the chapters of based on?

11409470
Done. Now, some episodes will be left unadapted and replaced with original episode ideas.

11409477
Thank you. By the way, since there are now nine elements, who are the other three?

11409486
Sunset Shimmer: Empathy
Starlight Glimmer: Redemption
Trixie Lulamoon: Humility

Those appear later.

11409488
I'm guessing those are "bonus" elements (i.e. elements not needed for the Elements to work per say, but when added, DO make the Elements more powerful).

Though, it's pretty ironic that one of Equestria's biggest egomaniacs could have the Element of Humility. I could definitely see the other two, but Trixie being Humility? That would take some pretty sizeable humility lessons that actually stuck.

11409497
She'll be MUCH humbler once she acquires her element. Though, old habits die hard.

Hey there. Not much I can say other than great job, thus far, on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up as well as the Adaptation Early Appearance by Shining Armor AND all the foreshadowing for characters that will appear later. And, yeah, I REALLY appreciate Spike getting a lot more respect this early on (though, ironically, they are LESS afraid of a dragon [albeit a young one] than they are of a Zebra who was just minding her own business [I mean, really, they LITERALLY treated Zecora like she was worse than Nightmare Moon at first, even though she did nothing to deserve that treatment]).

But, anyway, really looking forward to more of this.

I actually have an idea for this story's version of Bridle Gossip where Spike chews out the Mane 6 (barring Twilight) for how they're judging Zecora unfairly when they welcomed him, a dragon, into town and treated him with more respect in a day than he'd previously gotten in a week.

Wonderful first start, hope to see more. :twilightsmile:

I saw "Spike treated with more respect" And I clicked fast

11409903
I’ll deliver. It’ll just take a while.

Chapter 2 is actually in the works right now.

Just like @ChrisTheBrony1 I saw 'Spike treated with more respect' and I knew I had to read this one IMMEDIATELY, and already I'm loving it. Spike often got pushed to the sidelines in the show despite being a Main Character, which is a shame given his unique position as a baby dragon, but rarely in the show did anyone care or even notice him. So I'm quite happy to find a story that brings just as much attention to Spike as it does Twilight, like a proper equal, and Twilight being nicer, caring and more protective of Spike is an absolute win, and I love that Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash & Pinkie Pie ACTUALLY acknowledge him in this story, and it actually feels like Spike is their friend, and the interactions between them so far is fantastic, I can't wait for the next chapter.

11409488
Given you highlighted Spike getting treated with more respect, presumably making him more important to your story, curious why Spike isn't one of the 9 Elements? Especially since he would make a perfect Element of Support or Element of Acceptance. Nothing wrong with him not being one of the 9 Elements, just curious as to why not?

11411780
Well, I actually have a little idea where Spike gets made into an honorary Element of Harmony: Unity.

An Awesome start, and wait for what happens next in chapter two.

11412447
Chapter 2's actually finished right now. I'll post it on Monday.

If you'd like to borrow an OC, let me know via PM.

Question: Will Scorpan and the REAL Grogar be in this because I sometimes don't read anything that doesn't have them in it?

I adore show retellings this seems like a great one

11412716
Scorpan: Maybe.
Real Grogar: For a G1/G4 crossover.

not a bad start at all
let's hope you can keep the pace
also:

Trixie Lulamoon: Humility

you're gonna hafta overhaul her ENTIRE CHARACTER to make that work in ANY way
honestly, Spike'd be a better Element Bearer. idk what his element'd be, precisely, but he'd be a better choice
hell, i honestly thought you were setting him up to be a bearer, considering how he seems to be the focus of the story

11412749
Why a G1/G4 crossover? I meant: The REAL Grogar as in the REAL G4 version of the character.

11412816
I have an idea for Spike being made an honorary element.

11412948
Okay.

Anyway, Why a G1/G4 crossover? It isn't one of those Multiverse story things, is it?

Great start! I've always been a fan of the alternate universe genre with early character development. I can't wait to see more!

11413006
I don't think a multiverse story of G4 meeting G1 is a good idea to be honest.

If I'm looking at the REAL G4 Grogar, will he appear for reals in your version of Season 9 and be the main antagonist of it as he should've been?

11413051
It may have been done in the comics but I felt that it ruined it for me because I loved G1 ever since I was a kid.

Also, me and those like myself always felt cheated out of the best things that should've happened in the series like:

  • The green Element of Harmony
  • Spike being the seventh Element and wielder of the green Element of Harmony
  • Spike's origins
  • Scorpan
  • The REAL G4 Grogar and him being the main antagonist of Season 9 and the final villain of the series.

And I thought that this story that you're doing would have those ideas and now I'm not so sure since you mentioned there would be a G1/G4 crossover which will not please me.

I hope you understand that I'm just trying to be cautious with myself.

11413061
Well, I do have plans for Spike wielding an honorary element that becomes official and is associated with a green gem at some point. I also have a plan for my take on Spike's origins.

I don’t want to rush you or anything, but today is two days later. No offence if I, at all, sounded rude there.
