Phony. Villain.

Monster.

That was what they called Trixie Lulamoon nowadays.

Word of her most recent infamous actions in Ponyville had spread quickly to all four corners of Equestria, and now wherever Trixie went, she was constantly reminded of what she had done.

She hoped that she could somehow regain everypony's respect, to show them that her actions in Ponyville weren't her own and that she could change for the better.

Nopony believed her.

Trixie quickly discovered for herself that capturing the admiration of ponies was nigh impossible now. Nopony wanted to give her another chance. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find any solace in these dark times.

After many, many failed attempts to regain her status in show business, she soon begins to doubt her capabilities as a magician. She even thinks about giving up the profession forever, until an interesting pony helps her remember why she became a magician in the first place, and how all is not yet lost.

Two worlds, one family...

For centuries, humans have always looked up to the sky and wondered if there was other life out there. In the near future, that question was at last answered for them with the arrival of the Zek, a race of grotesque insectoid-like creatures. The Zek did not come to seek peace though, far from it. The Zek were a race that thrived on war, going from planet to planet and successfully wiping out each planet's inhabitants with ease. However, they did not expect such resistance to come from the inhabitants of Earth. After uniting under one banner, the human race successfully drove off the Zek and they believed that they had destroyed them forever. They were wrong. The Zek soon returned with a much larger force and weapons that no human had ever seen before. One of Earth's mightiest generals, General Bousfield, knew that they would not be able to stand against such a force for long, even with the weapons and technology they had. It was only a matter of time before the Zek achieved their sweet, sweet revenge... but none of them would ever harm his wife or his infant son Oliver, not as long as his old heart continued to beat. He would have to evacuate them somehow, hopefully to some place safe that the Zek would not be able to reach...

Rose Wind was your average mare with average goals. Like most ponies, she received her cutie mark at a young age when she discovered that she enjoyed gardening. But now she wanted to do something more with her life, which pretty much meant she wanted to start a family. Finding that special somepony though has been a bit tough for her, and her one hundred and seventy-six dates and counting so far has proved that. On one of her nightly walks, she saw a flash of light come from within the Everfree Forest which she thought was quite peculiar. Letting her curiosity get the best of her, she searched the forest and indeed found something quite... peculiar. Something that was most certainly out of this world...

Time travel is a curious thing, which is why I've created a spell to allow a pony to go back in time once and once only. I'm afraid any more times than that and they could possibly rip the space-time continuum! -Star Swirl

These were the very words that Star Swirl himself had written down in his notes. Seeing as she had already performed the spell once, Twilight Sparkle dared not to try to travel through time again. However, when Twilight receives a mysterious package overnight, she refrains from opening it and instead calls her friends over for a meeting to decide what to do with it.

Little does she know that what is in the package will ultimately decide the fate of Equestria and the rest of the world...

Join Twilight and her friends as they race against time and through time itself to solve this curious mystery. They will face great challenges that will test how strong their friendship truly is, as well as how far each of them are truly willing to go for one another.

The clock is ticking...

When an inter-dimensional portal suddenly opens up in Rick's lab, he and Morty are brought through along with many of their belongings and they end up being dumped in a strange place.

With no Portal Gun to get home and the few supplies they have, Rick and Morty seemingly find themselves trapped in a dimension that turns out to be full of rainbows and technicolor talking ponies.

That's good right? Wrong. So very wrong.

Will they be able to find their way back to their own dimension C-137? Or will they forever be stuck in the horrible, terrible place they will soon call dimension P0-N3?

Join Rick and Morty on this ridiculous adventure where foul language is bleeped out in this dimension for some reason (until Rick finds a way to remove that) and 'magic' is the only explanation for pretty much freaking everything.

Rick isn't too happy about any of this, and he vows to rip this dimension a new one before he and Morty find a way to leave... or will Rick discover the magic of friendship instead? NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT... maybe.

The clock is ticking...

It had been a few weeks since Tirek's downfall and everything was peaceful in Equestria once more. Ponies went about their daily business and life moved on. However, deep within the White Tail Woods, life continued to be a constant struggle for the ponies of White Tail Village, a rather isolated place that had yet to be marked on the map. Timberwolves had recently attacked the village in the middle of the night, injuring the guards and making off with whatever they could carry. For one Earth pony in his mid-twenties however, he decided that he wasn't going to let them get away ever again. Alongside his companion, he set out early in the morning to track them down, not letting the rain that day stop him. Unbeknownst to him though was that he was about to encounter something that would change his destiny forever... something powerful from an empire thought eradicated in another realm...

Time is running out...

Equestria and the rest of the world are about to meet a worthy foe... a foe who had visited before so very long ago...

The world will burn beneath his rule...

Join him on a quest across Equestria and beyond as he makes new friends and learns about other lands and the world around him. This is the tale of how he becomes known as... The Pathfinder.

The end will soon be upon us all...

A crossover with the Pathfinder RPG

(Note: This story takes place after Season 4 and before Season 5)

At the dawn of time, there were two beings that existed in the Universe. A group known only as The Ancients and The God of Chaos himself, he who existed long before the time of Discord.

As much as they despised each other, The Ancients and The God of Chaos worked together to keep balance in the Universe. The Ancients were in charge of Harmony and The God of Chaos was in charge of maintaining the chaotic energies that flowed within the Universe. For a long time, there was peace, but alas, peace does not last forever.

The God of Chaos grew jealous of Harmony. He despised how everything thought of it as perfection, that Harmony was the only element that held everything together, while chaos was shunned and feared. So The God of Chaos sought out to disrupt this balance, proclaiming himself as The Endbringer and annihilating entire planets with his power, power that he was supposed to contain and distribute only when necessary. He felt no remorse. He gave no mercy. It was only chaos.

So began the age of his Reign of Chaos and the war that would last between The God of Chaos and The Ancients for centuries... until The Ancients stumbled upon a world that would determine the fate of the Universe...

Year 652 E

It is a sad day in Equestria. The well-respected wizard Star Swirl the Bearded, known for his feats towards the end of the Chaos War and his studies in the arcane arts, has passed away. The princesses told me that it was due to unknown circumstances, but they refused to comment any further.

Star Swirl was a good friend of mine. He was short-tempered at times, but he always meant well. It's unfortunate that he'll never be able to finish his spell, his final 'masterpiece' as he called it. The princesses have taken all of his notes for safekeeping, although I do not know what they'll use it for.

Before he passed away, Star Swirl locked himself away in his tower for extended periods at a time. He kept mumbling something about a... a seventh element. He must have been referring to the Elements of Harmony, but that's just ludicrous. There were only six elements used to defeat Discord, not seven. You can rest easy now though old friend.

The funeral is tomorrow at sunset, although I do not know why the preparations are taking so long. Nevertheless, I am expecting a huge turn out tomorrow. He has helped the lives of many.

Equestria: Present Time

It had been only a few days since Twilight's triumph over Tirek when Equestria had fallen prey to yet another evil, except at the time, nopony had suspected anything was amiss. When reports of unnatural occurrences began to arise, ranging from disappearances to shadowy demons, the princesses, Luna, Celestia, Cadance, and Twilight assembled small teams to confront these issues, only to have them return with nothing.

Taking matters into their own hooves, Celestia and Luna sought out these problems themselves and were successfully able to bring peace to their citizens, although they too were unsuccessful in finding the source of these problems.

One day, Twilight came across an ancient prophecy in a book given to her by Celestia that foretold the coming of something strange. This being would be able to help them in their time of need, but there was a chance that it would destroy Equestria as they know it. With no other options available, Twilight set out to learn how she could bring this One to Equestria, which brings us to the beginning of our tale.

Join Twilight and her friends as they set out on an epic quest to defeat this darkness, alongside an unlikely hero of another world who has yet to become aware of the true power lying within him...
