Twilight Sparkle accidentally disrupts Starlight’s day off with Trixie upon receiving a shipment of Germane chocolates and turning the Castle of Friendship into a veritable fortress to keep them safe, and Starlight doesn’t take too kindly to that. Trixie’s solution: steal the chocolates, thus forcing Twilight to return things to normal.

It’s the stupidest, most daring heist plan of all time, and Starlight’s having none of it.

Although, she does love the taste of chocolate...and Trixie’s plan could work with the right amount of luck...

...Screw it.

“May the Ancestors watch over you. May they watch over us all…” --- Ignitus

The impossible happened --- Malefor was defeated.

As Spyro lifted his wings and let out a healing wave of magic throughout the broken planet, his one prayer to the Ancestors was to save the last remaining Dragons from extinction.

It’s a pity he never specified just what he meant by “save”, and it’s a shame that the Ancestors have a cruel and bizarre sense of humor.

Now stranded on an alien world, Spyro, Cynder, and the inhabitants of Warfang, the last Dragon City, look to an uncertain future with both wonder and fear. Worlds have collided, new friendships will be forged, and nothing will ever be the same...

A continent away, the newly-crowned King Thorax of the Badlands Hive has his own troubles to deal with. His Hive has been contacted by another, demanding that he attend an emergency session of the Council of Seven in the very seat of Changeling leadership and sovereignty to answer for his crimes of defection, espionage, sabotage, and high treason against the dethroned Queen Chrysalis. If he cannot defend his actions, his Hive will be disbanded, his Changelings absorbed into the Primordial Hive, and he will be exiled. The young king’s leadership abilities will have to be put to the test before he even has a chance to wear his crown.

Thankfully, Twilight and her friends have offered to help...

Vengeance.

It was the one thing Chrysalis wanted. Needed. She would have it, as well as the heads of Thorax and Starlight Glimmer mounted on her wall, or she would die trying.

As she hides within the Frozen North and gathers her strength, a mysterious Voice beckons to her, leading to a Dark Crystal buried in the side of a cliff. The malevolence...the power...!

Yessss...vengeance is coming. Soon. Now.

The Voice has chosen to help her, if she helps him in return...

”Have you...have you ever thought that your dreams were something more? That they were trying to tell you something?” --- Princess Cadance

The Crystal Empire has faced many threats: Sombra, freak storms, Flurry’s chaotic magic, and even the Frozen North itself. Throughout it all, the Crystal Ponies were protected by the Empire’s Heart.

But what happens when a Heart stops beating?

Mysterious and terrible things are afoot in the Frozen North on this cold, silent night, and it’s up to a small group of Ponies and one Changeling to piece it all together before the entire Crystal Empire is thrust into danger. But in the shadows two very different foes are lurking, and both have set their sights on the Empire.

It’s the dawn of a new age, and Equestria’s time to prepare is up.

Outpost 13...often considered the most unlucky posting to be given when you’re a Royal Guard. It holds no real tactical value, and was built long ago before the Unification Period of the Three Pony Tribes. It’s now more of a historical site, being the last-standing remnant of a bygone era. It’s useless, it’s remote, and it’s boring.

And it’s the perfect dumping ground for when you want to get rid of three of the Royal Guard’s worst soldiers ever.

Private Samwise Tater (the Thinker), Corporal Plucky Guess (the Cynic), and Private Prism Rain (the Sleeper) --- the three of them have been at Outpost 13 for one year now, all on their own. Once you’ve been there that long, you begin to develop a routine: wake up at 0600, eat, then stave off boredom for the next 18 hours before it’s time to go to bed. Usually by talking or planning ways to take over the world, or if nothing else, how to raid Princess Celestia’s cake stash without getting caught.

Today’s their one year anniversary, and they’re at their breaking point.

(Heavily inspired by Rooster Teeth’s Red Vs. Blue web-series.)

”We all must bear our burdens, but though we keep moving forward, we also must never forget what we left behind so that we may learn from it.” --- Princess Luna

For centuries, scholars have theorized that it was Luna’s jealousy over Celestia’s power that made the younger princess rebel. These same scholars then wrote the very history books that foals read to this day, a thousand years later. Few, however, knew the full truth.

Luna’s fall was not some nation-wide rebellion, nor was it some jealousy-fueled tantrum. The truth was far more shameful and cruel. It had indeed been Celestia’s fault, but not for the reasons that history said it was.

And so, on this cold and somber night, Celestia remembers the day of her greatest folly.

**ON HIATUS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, WILL FINISH**

Treasure Planet is no more. Its remains are now ash in the nebulae of space, and the Loot of a Thousand Worlds is lost forever.

Or so the official reports say.

When a second map is found on the strange, paradise planet of Equus by a "Princess Twilight Sparkle", the RLS Legacy and her crew are once again sent to investigate. What they find could change the course of the galaxy's history forever.

For there wasn't just one Treasure Planet out there --- there are six more, and each one has a dark secret.

And someone in the deepest reaches of space isn't so keen on letting anyone find the others.

Pirates, man-eating plants, rogue robots, carnivorous space krakens, and several grouchy Flatulan merchants --- the motley crew of the RLS Legacy and their newfound Equestrian allies will face all these and more in their greatest adventure yet. Loose the solar sails, ladies and gentlemen, and may the winds of the Etherium guide you on your voyage to glory.

Takes place before Season 9.
