A little over a thousand years ago, at about the same time, Luna was banished, and an entire race of crystal ponies disappeared. A mysterious paradox existed over the Crystal Empire known as Heaven's Gate had caused certain ponies to do crazy things. When it disappeared, Luna and Sombra went mad, and Celestia had to banish them. Since Luna is the goddess of the night sky, when she was banished, her sky was banished with her, so Princess Celestia had to create a new one. And with each new star, a pony became a contractor, a pony with extra special powers that even highly trained unicorns couldn't master. Now, a new Gate called Hell's Gate has appeared over the Everfree Forest, and because of it, Luna has disappeared again, taking the sky with her, forcing Celestia to forge a new one, along with new contractors, including Twilight Sparkle.

You may notice that Rainbow Dash is a main character, but isn't there for the first few chapters. She does eventually become a main character in chapter 8, Through The Smoke, An Ally Is Found.

The Cover art was made partly by me putting together a pic of Twilight that I found and a pic of Mare Do Well that I found, but then NixWorld, made it awesome, adding the background and special effects. Cover art inspired by this.

If you can't tell yet, this is a Darker Than Black themed AU. It's not really a crossover because no Darker Than Black characters are actually in it. Just the circumstances and kind of the setting (except of course it's in Equestria, not Tokyo). Since it's not much of a crossover or a straight up copy, artistic license has been used. I really recommend watching the show though, or at least a few of the first episodes. It's available for free on Hulu (both subbed and dubbed), you just have to watch some ads. (It's rated TV-MA in America and 15 in the UK, but seriously, if you're concerned about rating, forget about that. There is no reason for the MA rating whatsoever. There are some mature themes, but it should really be TV-14 in America)

One day, our friend Spike was walking through Ponyville and noticed a free concert in a park being played by a heavy metal band. Since it was free, he thought "Why not?". He walked into the crowd and its vapor cloud and enjoyed the concert, while also making friends he probably shouldn't have made.

Can you all do me a favor and hit a like or dislike button? I just wanna know how you think :)

Again, it's exaggerated comedy. I've had to apologize for this kind of thing before, so try not to get offended, it's supposed to be an over exaggerated joke. Sorry if you do get offended, but please, try not to :)

As always, I appreciate constructive criticism (meaning criticism that actually makes intelligent comments instead of stuff like "this is a load of @#^! you piece of &#!@ im reportin dis %$!( cuz i !@#$%&! h8 it u peice of $%!@ %&#@ u!!!!").

Complete with plays on words and meta/4th wall references. Cover art is different pictures I found on the web compiled together.

This was just gonna be a one-shot to mock Common Core, but I couldn't think of an ending, so it gets really, really dark at the end. Ye be warned.

One night, after some sort of gathering where the Mane 6 and Discord showed up, Princess Celestia was behind on her work and had to go over a bunch of nationwide school policies. Sadly, she forgot that the prankster Discord was still around, and he spikes her coffee, leading her to sign Common Core into law, which makes all the school children go insane.

Although it was unintentional, Discord loved it anyway, since he is still a prankster at heart.

I'm not even sure what this is about. It was just everything popping into my brain until I got the minimum 1,000 words. A minimal amount of effort was put into this, so it's not one of my best works. I had to keep the stories flowing to stay somewhat relevant since I'm still working on a longer story that's not yet ready for posting.

Remember the time Pinkie Pie made an obvious alcohol reference that Hasbro and The Hub totally let slip by?

When a boy squirrel and a girl squirrel love each other very much, Fluttershy decides to conduct a marriage for them on the most beautiful fields in Canterlot. But alas, President Obama decided that he wanted to golf in another plane of existence, so he uses executive action to build a portal to Equestria so he could golf there and ruin a poor squirrel's wedding. Fluttershy is not gonna take it! She and her friends (including Twisted Sister) fight back!

Yes it's a political satire/MLP trollfic. Don't'get too offended, it's supposed to be an over-exaggerated joke.

Tell me if you get the Adventure Time or Full House reference.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy! That's the most likes I've ever gotten! Thanks everypony! (and I just found out it's slightly more popular than one of ROBCackeran53's lesser known stories. He's got more likes, but it's the same amount of votes, and this here story has more views and comments. I guess that's an accomplishment)

(I am not considering this my first story of 2015, since I wrote it mainly in 2014.)

So basically, our heroes win this battle with a combination of how the Guardians of the Galaxy won their battle (it was literally the power of friendship, which MLP had already done years before) and how Spongebob defeated Plankton in the Spongebob movie (the power of Rock and Roll, using a Twisted Sister song, although Spongebob's lyrics were altered)

The Oscars are coming. Again, Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated, but this time, can he win? He's been embarrassed so many times in front of the prestigious Oscar crowd. He couldn't bear to let his heroes down anymore. So he decided to use satanic rituals to summon the manifestation of honesty itself, Applejack, to tell him where he went wrong. Can Leo fix his ways in time for the Oscars?

FINALLY! As of February 28th, 2016, this story is officially AN OUTDATEDD JOKE!! YOU DID IT LEO!

Watch as I troll you with a "terribly boring" trollfic where Pinkie Pie makes cupcakes (in a non-violent way)
Featuring:
Pinkie Pie
Shrek,
Morgan Freeman,
Eren Yeager,
Ron Paul,
Rick Astley,
Steve Jobs, and of course,
CUPCAKES

PS: No torture is involved, nor is this related to the infamous horror Cupcakes

PPS: S1 E19 A Dog and Pony Show=Worst Episode Ever

PPPS: Looks like it's in a Readingsins request bookshelf. I guess that's an alternate Rage Reviews. But hey, it's a trollfic, so this is an honor.

Get in the Christmas mood with this not-so heartwarming story. Granny Smith is about to die (she's old, it's gotta happen eventually), and Apple Bloom wants to get her one last Hearth's Warming day gift, but sadly, she doesn't have enough money.
A satirical MLP style take on the song that everybody loves to hate, The Christmas Shoes.
Apparently the one and only story tagged with Noteworthy and Apple Bloom. Somebody's probably gonna make a foalcon of them eventually, but as of 1/6/2015, it's the only one.

Twilight Sparkle can have crazy dreams with all the stress of being a princess, but when Celestia's dead spirit appears to her in a dream, Twilight and Celestia go on a ridiculous adventure that shows her the scope of all existence. *PART 5 of the "When" One Shot series. You should read the rest of 'em before reading this.*
What's up with the dislikes? Did I cross a line again, and if I did, tell me. I see a few reasons for disliking, and I will explain why it is that way
1: Celestia is dead. *This is part 5 of the "When" one shot series I'm doing, and Celestia died in part 3 of it. Dead Celestia is canon to this series of stories.*
2: I insulted Bronies/4Chan *Yes I called Bronies creepy and single. I am a Brony. I'm single. I act creepy sometimes. It's not like I made fun of something sensitive. It's comedy, take a joke.*
3: You just don't like it. *Alright, I respect your opinion*

Though she may not know it, Rarity has done something highly illegal, and the fuzz is right on her tail. Part 4 of the "When" One Shot Series. (Sorry it's been so long. I was going to proofread it then post it, but I forgot about it and now, months later, I'm posting it. I didn't proofread, so please forgive grammar errors.)

After Celestia's unintentional death, the gang feels depressed and goes to the F&F Casino to ease their depression, but Rainbow Dash screws up big time.
Part 3 of the "When" One Shot series. Don't read this without having read When Pinkie Pie Actually Takes Her Medicine and When Fluttershy Accidentally Kills Celestia.
#ONESHOT
*I used an online proofreader since I'm horrible at proofreading my own work and there was nobody else at home to proofread it*
