This story is a sequel to The Pony Guard: Rainbow Rocks

It is time for the upcoming Friendship Games against their long time rivals, Crystal Prep Academy. But, when the Magic Mirror in Equestria begins acting strangely and traps Kion and Twilight at Canterlot High, the rest of the Lion Guard come on over in an effort to figure out what happened. Along the way, they meet up with Sunset Shimmer and the Rainbooms, who are also struggling to understand how the magical "pony-ups" work.

As if preparing for the games and trying to launch the investigation isn't enough, their discovery has come to them discover that the two curious also investigating the magic mystery happen to be both... Twilight Sparkle and Kion's alternate human forms.

In the battle of competition, who will win? Or will whatever strange magic flowing around will cause more problems and uncover something that might be too powerful and sinister for both the new Twilight and Kion to handle?

* Note (This takes place after Season 6 Episode 10 Undercover Kinyonga)

In this world, Sunset Shimmer is not the reformed student we know, but the charismatic and feared leader of a rock band called "The Sirens' Curse." Along with her bandmates-alternate and darker versions of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy-she dominates the music and social scene at Canterlot High. Her power is not limited to music; through her voice and guile, she manipulates students, teachers and even political figures.

However, beneath this bad-girl facade, Sunset hides a secret: her true identity as a girl in love with Adagio.

In this world, she was altered by a time-altering magic. So the roles change in every sense of the idea.

This story is for the contest of: Sunset x Villain Monster-Shipping Contest.

Austin Bradly is a troubled 17-year-old kid who gave up on a life that's taking everything away from him. One day he found something, a purpose. A purpose that leads him into a different dimension where things start to go wrong. Where is he? How did he get there? Can he get back? But most importantly, Does he want to go back?

Princess Celestia watches once more as a tragedy she could have prevented is performed before her eyes. The main character in such a play? Sunset Shimmer. The lead support? Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.

Throughout her rule Princess Celestia had but a singular motto. For on the morrow, the Sun will once more rise across Equestria. It was a declaration, an ideal, a promise, and a warcry. That she would always seek an ever brighter future for her ponies.

There were those such as Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Cadance, who had accepted such promises and used them to fuel their purpose. Capturing such warmth and allowing themselves to act as another beacon to guide those around them.

Then there were those ponies who had refused such a promise instead, choosing to strike out on their own path. Sunset Shimmer the instigator of the most recent tragedy, Princess Celestia's own daughter was one such pony.

The love of a mother is put against the love of a ruler. For the monster has been captured after it had slaughtered so many subjects. The trial has yet to begin but the verdict has already been decided.

Sunset Shimmer wants to become an alicorn more than anything - it's the entire reason why she's Princess Celestia's student. But she's run out of ways to research it and Princess Celestia has blocked her at every turn.

Fortunately for her, there's a new Princess on the block - Cadance. One who's already ascended. One who knows personally and intimately how she did it.

To get her to talk, Sunset will do anything. Even if it means pretending to like - really like - the Pink Pony Of Passion.

Based on Durgan’s This Day Should’ve Just Been Perfect.

Everyone’s written about Alternate Universe fics regarding Canterlot Wedding, but what if the Love Spell was still successful and banished the Changelings?

But still, in the aftermath, something was heavily damaged, and no one can hope to ever put it back together.

CW but Twilight cuts ties with her friends and teacher.

So since Yo-Kai Watch is 10 years old now I decided to write a fanfic for it featuring the best boy Komasan. Also Komasan's family name is "Komaishi". Anyway Komasan gets transferred to Canterlot High during Rainbow Rocks and manages to befriend the Dazzlings and get particularly close with Adagio. Though he's conflicted with their plans and Jibanyan gets tagged along. Also there's a slight Fist of The North Star reference at the end.

"If you stay in this place," Tempest said. "They will saw off your horn the first chance they get."

"Is that what they did to you?" Sunset asked.
