Tempest Shadow would be the first pony to tell you she's not worthy of friendship. All she deserves after a life spent helping the Storm King conquer and pillage is four walls, bars, and solitude. But she's getting a new life in Ponyville anyway, at the side of Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship.

Tempest Shadow isn't a friendship kind of pony. She's not a party kind of pony. She's not a happy kind of pony in the least. So what could there possibly be for her in Ponyville? More than she thinks, as it turns out. Come join her as she discovers what she's truly meant to do, what she's truly worth, and who she's truly meant to be with. Her life is going to change far more than she ever would have expected.

Sunset Shimmer sees the same phantom throughout Canterlot High School. A boy her age with spiky hair, who briefly appears before vanishing. It catches her eye, distracts her from her friends and their fret on the future. The future of Equestrian magic, the future of their powers, the future in general. Sunset can’t focus on that when the present holds a mystery she is forced to solve, especially as it overwhelms her as the days wane. The boy appears in two places at once, then three, until she comes to school to find dozens. Sunset is at the end of her rope when she stands face to face with him, the real him, unconscious within the portal leading to Equestria. As adamant as she is to help anyone in need of help, is it wrong to think that Princess Twilight Sparkle can deal with him? Let Sunset figure out the rest of her life with rampant Equestrian magic first? All she has to do is push him further into the portal, into Equestria. But she isn't that kind of person, and pulls him into her world instead.

Takes place after Kingdom Hearts III, and contains heavy spoilers for that game!

A complete rewrite of my previous story Kingdom Hearts: Friendship's Turmoil. As such, it has no connection nor bearing to this story besides a similar premise. This story does not require any other readings to enjoy.

Sora was an average teenage boy, though average was an understatement. At the age of fourteen, he was thrust into a battle between light and darkness, wielding a mystical weapon known as the Keyblade, saving worlds from creatures known as the Heartless and finding his friends, Riku and Kairi. He has saved the universe many times from the Heartless, saved Kingdom Hearts from being controlled by those with evil intentions, and has made new friends in each world he visited.

However, he fails his mark of mastery exam after almost getting himself killed by Xehanort's younger self, needing to be rescued by his friends as Riku and Kairi become Keyblade Masters. Needing more training before he can retake his exam, Master Yen Sid gives him coordinates to somewhere in the galaxy, though the information on what was there or why was unanswered, obeying his teacher. But as he was close to reaching the coordinates, his own gummi ship, which he crafted on his own while on a break a week prior to his exam's failure, malfunctions for some unknown reason and crashes into the world of Equestria.

With no way to make it back home, and Equestria too far from the rest of the worlds to contact his friends or fix his ship, Sora is stranded on this new world until someone realized he's been missing. Until then, he's going to have to fit in, his magic transforming his body into being a part of the world like in many others he visited in the past, and be patient. Little does he know that there were also dangers that lurked in this world, aside from any Heartless that may appear.

Sora's story takes place after the events of Dream Drop Distance, his adventures beginning in Equestria before the season 1 premiere of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Kingdom Hearts is owned by Square Enix and Disney. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is owned by Hasbro.

EDIT: Those who are new to this story, there are links in a majority of the chapters where they lead to soundtracks of Kingdom Hearts to help build an atmosphere in the story. Sadly, most of them may come up as dead links because those videos had been taken down by the YouTuber for some reason, even if there are some still active by that same person, or they'll be gone as well if they happen again. With how many chapters I've put in this story, and how many links there might be, I don't have the patience to take them down or find new links with the right music I chose for those moments if I can remember which ones. So, up until Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree (Part 3), ignore the links, as much as I hate to say that with the hard work I've done. Hopefully this crossover will be as enjoyable without music as it keeps on going.

Once a upon a time... in the magical world of Equestria.

HAPPY 17th Anniversary Kingdom Hearts!

This story is a sequel to Kingdom Hearts 2.7: Friendship Is Magic

This day was suppose to be perfect
The kind of day of which I dreamed since I was small
But now we've made a mistake
There's no wedding, dancing, or cake,
This day should have never happened at all...

It was suppose to be the best day for everyone, where Princess Cadenza Mi Amore and Captain Shining Armor were suppose to get married. Unfortunately, things ended so badly, where the bride turned out to be a wicked Changeling Queen who nearly took over Equestria, but the love of the two banished the Queen and her Hive far far away.
However, it came with a terrible price. Twilight Sparkle, the faithful student of Princess Celestia, was the first to know something was wrong. But no pony listened to her, and after a failed desparate attempt, Twilight was cast out of the wedding by her brother, and her friends and mentor abandoned her in her time of need, planting the seeds of darkness in her heart.
Now, though the threat has come to an end, Twilight Sparkle lashes out at her friends and brother, and turns them away in pain and anger. Unable to forgive her friends, and herself, Discord, who is on the verge of breaking free from his prison, convinces the unicorn to abandon friendship, leading her down a road to a dark path, to awaken an evil that was sealed away long ago, and to make matters worse, a Crystal Kingdom has emerged in the North, along with an wicked unicorn who wants to burn it all to the ground.
Meanwhile, it has been months since Master Xehanort's end. Things have gotten back to normal, except for Sora. He has been out of place lately, which many believe is Post Traumatic Stress from the Climatic Battle. He says that he's fine... but maybe he's not. But the magic in the universe is fading away, which brings him, Donald, and Goofy back into action. They are tasked by Yen Sid to head south of Equestria and find Twilight Sparkle and restore the connection of the Elements of Harmony, while Riku and King Mickey go north to investigate the Crystal Empire.
But a great shadowy evil has awakened, with Maleficent and Pete taking this opportunity to take over Equestria, with help from a strange individual who is looking for something in the Land of Ponies.
Can our heroes save Equestria and stop the darkness? Can Sora find Twilight and restore the magic of friendship, but can he also conquer his inner demons and come to terms with his own struggles?
Join them on this epic adventure filled with musical songs from My Little Pony and other famous musical classics and movies. It will have magic, drama, comedy, action, chaos... and of course, Friendship!

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the story!
May your hearts be your guiding key!
Also, keep an eye out for Secret Reports in the notes... They contain some very interesting information!
