Fierce Battles and Fantastic Adventures is an unpublished My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfiction by CJ Croen 1393.
On the eve of the anniversary of Twilight's arrival in Ponyville, the Princesses vanish mysteriously, and the girls are sent to investigate. What they discover shocks them.
The Corruption that turned Luna into Nightmare Moon, Princess Invidia, has returned, and this time she isn't alone. She has gathered almost all of the other villains from the show, Gilda, The Diamond Dogs, Flim and Flam, Queen Chrysalis and a severely weakened King Sombra, as well as an army of Shadowbolts, Windigoes, and Changelings to destroy the Elements of Harmony and take over Equestria. The Mane Six prepare to fight the new forces of evil and save the day once and for all.
