The Mane-iac has a reason, a method to her madness, and one that will shock the Mane Si-er, the Power Ponies to their core.

Because it's not exactly evil, and aren't we all crazy when we're in love?

The Power Ponies are coming again.

Another escape from custody, another scheme to take over Maretropolis, and another chance for the Power Ponies to defeat her. Such is the cycle that Mane-iac has endured for as long as she can remember.

And she's sick of it. She's sick of all of it. Now on the cusp of one more battle with her nemeses, she can only think of how much she has sacrificed for the city in her battles against the Power Ponies, and how much more she can take.

Just for fun, Spike and Twilight try to write a Power Ponies fanfiction. Simple and easy fun, right?

Nope.

There are a few things about the fanfiction world Twilight needs to learn if she wants ponies to like her story.

Now with a French translation!

Everyone has that one friend that they've known since childhood, that one friend that they'd do anything for, that one friend that means the world to them. For me, that friend was Luxurious Locks, the mare that runs the most prominent hair-care product company in Maretropolis. We were the best of friends since childhood, and whenever one of us was down, the other would be there to help out.

But I guess some things don't last forever.

Luxi has disappeared, and she's been missing for over a month. To make matters worse, a deranged mare named the Mane-iac has been attacking the city with no clear motive.

Little did I know that she was looking for someone, too...

This is an HiE Anthro one-shot taking place in the Power Ponies universe, so the Mane 6 are not the Power Ponies. It also goes without saying that this is not related to any of my previous stories.

Now with an Act 3.5 written by Naughty_Ranko! LINK

The deleted comments were made by me and Zam during the story's development stage, so don't worry about it.

You all know how it goes in a comic book. The heroes can't face the villains until the very last moment before whatever horrible thing is being planned this week goes down. Well, Fili-Second isn't following that rule today.

Written for the EqD WTG #014. Comments are, as always, encouraged.

A series of one-shots set in an alternate world where the Mane 6 are the Power Ponies. Follow the adventures of six superheroes and their dragon sidekick as they defend Maretropolis from dastardly evil-doers, including the Mane-iac, the Equalizer, the Phoenix, and the God of Chaos himself.

Origins: The head of a multibillion-bit company, an orphaned farm girl in the big city, an underappreciated archaeologist's assistant, an up-and-coming fashion designer searching for inspiration, a veterinarian taking anger management therapy, and a bored girl from a rock farm. A notorious act of evil will bring these unlikely allies together.

The Mane-Raising Joke: Dee Tangler takes her role as the owner of a multi-million-bit haircare product company way too far, resulting in a tragic accident at her shampoo factory that will change her life, as well as the Power Ponies', forever.

The Shadow King: A scientist strives to help a pony he loves with his research in shadow magic. Meanwhile, Fili-Second and Zapp question their worth as heroes.

The Sirens' Song: When three beautiful, singing mares become an overnight sensation, the Power Ponies team is divided, and it's up to those unimpressed with the singers' talent to save Maretropolis from their evil scheme.

Heart of Stone: Saddle Rager is experiencing strange dreams involving the statue of Discord at the Maretropolis Museum. Meanwhile, Zapp has noticed the statue has been cracking, and it gets worse and worse every single day...

Don't Cry After Sunset: Some pony from Twilight's past re-emerges, at the same time mysterious robberies are occurring by a master thief who leaves no evidence behind.

Longhorn's Journey Into Night: At long last, Mistress Mare-velous gets a lead in finding her parents' murderer and insists on pursuing him alone, but Humdrum won't allow it.

The Pharaoh's Curse: A new mummy arrives at the Maretropolis Museum of a said to be cursed pharaoh.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?: Parallel chapter to "The Pharaoh's Curse," in which we see what Twilight and Applejack are up to while on vacation.

Since their first day being Power Ponies, Spike's marefriends have returned to Canterlot's House of Enchanted Comics for more adventures. One afternoon, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash are enjoying a supertastic escapade as Radiance, Mistress Marevelous, and Zapp. The number one written rule of these enchanted comics is simple: the fantasy will not end until the narrative plays itself out. One problem, though. For this particular "adventure" to end, it's written that Mistress Marevelous and Zapp must kiss. Passionately.

Spike sets out on a heroic quest, taking him far away from home to brave the dangers of... the Manehattan Comic-Con! He's got a lot of high hopes for his convention experience, but when things don't all go according to plan, it might take a few new friends to remind him of just why he liked superheroes to begin with.
