This is not the Equestria you know. This will not be the Mane 6 that you love. Changelings... will be about the same.

Join me in this Cross-over/Alternate tale of Equestria that merged with the world of the anime/manga -Claymore-.

***********

Author's Notes: Surprisingly, this crossover/alt-world hasn't been done before. At least, not that I've come across. Much like other fusion stories out there, characters from the source will be subbed by characters from MLP. I won't say this is a *direct* retelling of Claymore with Ponies, but it'll be relatively close. Also, on a legal note, both MLP and Claymore are copyright of their respective holders and this fan-fiction is made solely for entertainment purposes only!

-Also, first fanfic EVER, so by all means, feel free to be brutally honest & critical and if I need to correct something grammatically (no one's perfect), please let me know which part in the comments. Thank you much and hope you enjoy the story.

-Characters will be added/taken away as the story progresses. GORE tag will be quite true, though *shouldn't* be heavy enough for a -Mature- rating. If I should upgrade the Rating, please let me know. The "Human" tag is more for the Anthro aspect of the story as opposed to being humanized versions of the characters. I'll still use the MLP terms to describe the characters, just know that they're on two legs as opposed to four... most of the time.
