(This was made for the dialogue only contest.)

Twilight Sparkle and her friends receive a distress call from Canterlot. The city is under attack by a huge monster. Twilight fights bravely and has to pay a heavy price... An emotional journey in which friendship is put to a new test and an adventure that leads beyond the borders of Equestria to the horizon, where Celestia's powers no longer play a role.

Marble Pie remembered how the war began, how the three pony tribes were divided because of the slow disappearance of magic, and how the other creatures picked sides in the war. However, all she cares about is her missing sister, Pinkie Pie.

In a world of Anthro Ponies, Lizard mounts, and noble houses, the nation of Equestria is young, and decentralized, and while the two sisters provide a unifying factor, the realm still sits in an uneasy peace, as ponies divide in dedication to one sister or the other. Forming into the Lunarists and Solarists, the realm stands in a odd political state. In the midst of this Night Raid a young noble stallion, with no land of his own, and little other prospects, roams the lands as a knight, going from tourney to tourney, problem to problem, in search of glory, fame, and maybe something greater. Will he find what he seeks? Or will he end up in the gutter?

(Mainly inspired by the ongoing Russian-Ukraine Conflict, minor inspiration from the film 'Fury'.)

TO YOUR CAUTION!!! THIS STORY IS BASED ON AN ALTERNATIVE TIMELINE!!! ALTERNATIVE TIMELINE!!! ALTERNATIVE TIMELINE I've said it enough times just in case a certain group of people gets triggered... I'm not a political type of guy!I wrote this without any political intentions! I just wanted to write a modernized tank battle with griffons and dragons! PLEASE don't open fire on me! Thank you for understanding!!!

It had been more than 2 moons since the beginning of the war, roles switched; the once-invading Draconians were now halted and slowly driven back to the borders. However, more aggressive retaliations were coming from both sides. But the overall war progress is benefitting the Equestrians.

Gerald 'Blitz' Thunderhooves, commander of his Leopard 2A6 '331' Blitzwing MBT, was separated from the rest of his battalion during an all-out retaliation against the Draconian 106th Armor Battalion. Gerald found himself within the enemy EM interference zone to add more disadvantage to his crew. Now he's completely strained with little hope of getting reinforcements.

Gerald and his crew would have to crawl back to friendly forces while being hunted by groups of hostile armors. Throughout their perilous quest, the crew of 'Blitzwing' discovers the true intention of the Draconians' so-called 'retreat'.

They only have a limited amount of time to get this valuable information back to their side to prevent a possible heavy loss of friendly forces.

Have you heard the tales of Queen Twilight Sparkle, the last student of Celestia? How many evils did she and her friends vanquish? Have you heard of her great deeds? Have you heard of the student before her, Sunset Shimmer? Who had once lost her way, before finding the light in another world? What if they weren't the only ones? Imagine how many personal students Princess Celestia had taken over these past thousand years?

Long ago in the distant past, before the advent of Twilight, before Sunset, before any other student, there was one. The one who started it all. The very first in a long, long, line of students, personally taken in by Celestia. This is the tale of Frosty Hearth.

Starlight was practicing a new spell when she accidentally ends up transporting a group of Napoleonic soldiers to Equestria. Shenanigans ensue.

Also, did I mention there was a zombie plague?

One day, Flash wakes up out of the blue to find himself in possession of an unusual device and no memory of how he got it. And when his home is invaded by shape-shifting monsters, he finds he will need to use that device to save his friends and family.

With the powers he now possesses, Flash must take on the mantle of hero. Along the way, he will face many challenges and uncover many secrets. He may end up sacrificing everything in order to protect his world, but he will grow stronger through those sacrifices. And eventually, he may learn to live up to the title given to him. The title of a Kamen Rider.

Discord is agitated by Ponyville's lack of chaos and decides to become the guidance counselor for Twilight's friendship school. The problem is that nothing ever happened until Applebloom and Diamond Tiara got into the school's first fight. At first, he uses the chance to "discipline" the young mares however he pleases. However, after discovering a potential secret past between both families, Discord can't help but find out what it is. But naturally, he adds his take to it.

Note:This story contains them mentioning Applejack's deceased parents. If this makes you feel uncomfortable, then I apologize and advise that you don't read any further. But, if you choose to do so, I can only thank you for taking the chance to read it, and I hope you like it.
