Oh, Equestria! Oh, the Light of Harmony…
The greatest land where ponies have lived and thrived for centuries under the warming rays of Celestia's sun. They welcomed each new day with joy, forged friendships, and shared love. And they believed it was unshakable.
Everything changed when a cosmic body crashed onto Appleloosa, bearing death itself in the form of a green crystal. Barely had Equestria recovered from the Storm King's invasion, but it was as if the sky itself had unleashed its fury upon the ponies by some unknown fate. A town in the desert perished, and the green crystal took root. It infected the land, twisted the plants, and destroyed all living things.
The unprecedented disaster that engulfed the entire country alarmed the alicorn sisters like nothing else in their incredibly long lives, and Twilight Sparkle threw all her might into finding a way to eradicate the green plague. But it was only the beginning of great sorrow.
Looking up at the stars, nopony could have imagined that somewhere in their depths a darkness blacker than the night had been spreading since time immemorial. Demons from bygone eras, they had long roamed the cosmos, savoring death and asserting it wherever life was encountered. Their tentacles wrapped around the very fabric of creation. And now, having already conquered a fragment of the Universe known as Earth, they extended the shadow of their relentless darkness to touch the world of the little ponies, preparing to subject it to every trial.
And they would watch coldly as the Fire of Harmony waned and dimmed!..

(Author's Note: This fanfic is a crossover between MLP: FiM and the Command and Conquer and Crysis game series, which are merged into a single universe with a shared timeline here. The plot takes place significantly after the conclusion of both of them.
In terms of FiM's chronology, the story of this fanfic starts in the following autumn after the Storm King's invasion of Canterlot, as depicted in My Little Pony: The Movie. Therefore, it's an alternate development of events in the eighth season, where the Pillars of Old Equestria were not returned to the present time.
This project is planned to be very extensive, so stock up on tea/coffee and cookies! Enjoy your reading! 
)
You meant seventh season? The Pillars/Starswirl and Stygian/Pony of Shadows returned before the Storm King invaded.
You mixed C&C and Crysis together? Unique takes.

The idea here is that the events start some time after the Storm King's invasion but without taking into account the events of the last two episodes of the seventh season. In other words, it's as if the events of the movie happened after that episode where Sunburst visited Ponyville to see Starlight (by the way, his purchase of the barrel in the antique store will also be discussed in a new light here), at the end of the seventh season. Thus, the events of this fanfic essentially serve as an alternative eighth season. This idea is supported by the fact that in the movie, there was not a single indication that the Pillars had returned... strangely enough.
Thanks! Yes, I decided to merge the C&C and Crysis universes, although initially, I had the idea to write two separate crossovers between MLP and both of them. Gradually, the idea of combining both chronologies emerged when I noticed that in the Tiberium universe, New York was never mentioned (except for one comic about events preceding Tiberian Twilight, but that's much later than all events in Crysis), not to mention Lingshan. And also NYC located in the Blue Zone, which can explain the absence of Tiberium in Crysis. The only thing left was to establish the chronology sequence.
Thank you for your comment!
I'm gonna read this soon, but i hope Kane and the Brotherhood of Nod make a return.
Ok, let's go!

Many thanks! I hope you will enjoy reading it!
It's definitely possible. At the very least, Kane's case is unlikely to be dead – in one way or another...
11692926
Thanks! I'm ready to move forward!
Aaaaand just got done reading this...gota say this is going on my favorites and that this is the longest chapter of a story I have ever read and I like it alot.

Oh I can tell already...very rare to find stories with such a long first chapter that are not oneshots
11695088
Yeah, the chapters here will be long. Sometimes even insanely long when numerous parallel plotlines start moving simultaneously.
Thanks for comments!
11695358
Wow...that's something big to look forward to then since it actually took me about 15 minutes to half an hour to read....it's actually impressive since I read fast...longest chapter I have ever read in my life outside of something like a textbook....keep up the great work please!
Also your welcome...greatly enjoying this
Great chapter, so NOD force and what I believe are crysis aliens have arrived, I can't wait to see what happens in the future if GDI arrives.
Would it be possible to add images or information of the units/structures used in the author notes, because I have never played crysis so I don't know if SCRIN or crysis are seen?

Thank you very much for reading! I'm very glad you enjoyed it:)
That's right, these two factions have appeared on the "game board". However, when it comes to the Crysis aliens, it's safe to say that's only half of the truth. Something will become clearer about that soon.
By the way, regarding GDI, there's a small surprise with a twist coming up in the next chapters, so to speak...
No problem! I think it can be arranged to include a brief reference and attach images under each chapter where a particular unit, structure, or weapon was involved. However, I won't be able to show everything visually. Yes, the vast majority of units featured in the fanfic are taken directly from the original series. But occasionally, you will encounter creations of my own, which are typically variations based on existing units. The "flying fortresses" introduced in this chapter, for example, fall into that last category.
Well, many thanks for your comment!
Celestia's letting some southern twang slip in.

Oops, I think I missed it! Thank you for pointing that out to me, I'll fix it now...
Won't you get tired of translating 1.2 million words from Russian into English?) Good luck.

No problem, translating is easier than actually writing.
Thanks for your support!:)
Great chapter,thanks for the units codex, now it's easier to have an idea of who they are, can't wait for the next chapter
