History FanFic / TiberianEclipse

* EldritchLocation: While practically the whole world has become this thanks to Tiberium, the mutated Everfree Forest turns it UpToEleven.

* TheLostWoods: The normal Everfree Forest had been bad enough. Now imagine all of the trees turned into blossom trees (yes, these freaky trees you got a wonderful look at in Tiberium Dawn cutscenes!) that are now semi-live and constantly spew Tiberium spores. It is little wonder why the ISDI plans to destroy the entire forest.

* LowCultureHighTech / SchizoTech / AnachronismStew: The Ponies are a hodgepodge of medieval, steam and modern tech (presumably because of the usage of magic in place of modern tech) and are attempting to learn how to use the futuristic arsenal of the ISDI as a part of joint-military operations. The ISDI is also attempting to adjust weaponry for pony use due to lack of fingers, thumbs or a rotating torso/bipedal stance. As stated above, it has been hypothesized by some ISDI personnel/scientists that the hodgepodge of pony tech may be due to the usage of magic, as well as being a reason for a lack of thumbs for tool-making/tool-usage (despite being able to make said tools and use them without fingers and/or thumbs).

* [[TheManBehindTheMan The Man Behind The Tiberium]]: Again, the Scrin. It's subtle, but when the ponies learn that it isn't just a random disaster but someone trying to destroy their world to further their own goals it gives them a new determination.

-->'''Celestia''': ''So I noticed. I think him being here will do well to show that your group is not all simply about discipline and military affairs''... (She craned her neck towards him and whispered) ''Many fear that your arrival is merely the harbinger of your impending conquest. I dearly hope that such a thing isn’t true''.

-->That elicited a chuckle from him as he merely crossed his arms and reclined further against the bench’s backrest, an addition he found odd to have for ponies, especially with how Celestia sat next to him: stomach against the ground with no use of the backrest.

-->'''Commander Alexandra''': ''I think humanity’s period of conquest has long since passed, Princess.'' (he said) ''It’s not obvious to all of your ponies here, but we’ve been fighting a war since long before we showed up here. There’s no need to fear my superiors coming down here to try to oust you all from you land and turn you all into slaves or anything like that''.

-->'''Harold''': ''That’s going to have to wait until we finish the relocation.'' (he replied. The ponies’ ears all seemed to twitch in curiosity at that statement, a strange habit that left Harold repeatedly speechless) ''Right... so, we’re going to relocate you all to the clinic that we just set up in Canterlot. With you girls there, and especially the Princess, they’ll be happy to see that you’re all alive and well... and not taken off to some alien camp down the hill to be dissected.''

* KillItWithFire: The Inferno Corps. Other ISDI troops also used flamethrowers in a chapter where they were engaged in tunnel warfare.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tiberianeclipse_9249.png]]'''Tiberian Eclipse''' is a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' / ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSeries'' ongoing crossover by Material Defender posted in 11th December 2012.

* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: On both sides. Ponies appreciate human technology, humans appreciate Equestrian magic

* AnnoyingArrows: [[spoiler: Otis']] reaction to being shot by the Scrin.

* BigBad: The Scrin, obviously. [[spoiler: It looks like the dragons also could be this.]]
* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler: Trixie's Forgotten group. Bunch of cute but badass ponies.]]

* BearsAreBadNews: [[spoiler: Otis and other Ursa Minors and Majors mutated by Tiberium.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: ISDI. Without their help, ponies would not stand a chance. Plus, there are [[spoiler: a few other alien species whose planets has been infected by Tiberium and humans saved them from total extinction (unfortunately, most of these species are only shadows of themselves now and live in the protectorates).]]
* BlessedWithSuck / TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Trixie and the other pony mutants.]]

* CoolPet: [[spoiler: Otis, the Ursa Minor.]]

* CrapsackWorld / DeathWorld: Equestria. Tiberium everywhere, mutated lifeforms everywhere, practically all important cities [[spoiler: (including Staliongrad, Trottingham, Cloudsdale and Ponyville)]] are destroyed, weather is insane, soil is unable to give crops and Canterlot holding only because it is located high above the ground and [[spoiler: Shining Armor and Cadence created a force field around it.]]
* {{Cult}}: [[spoiler: A band of mutated Diamond Dogs who have become the Equestrian equivalent of the old Brotherhood of Nod!]]

* DeflectorShields: [[spoiler: Shining Armor and Cadence created a force field around Canterlot but at the time of arrival of the humans, they were in very serious condition due to fatigue]]. Later, [[spoiler: humans drop their own force field generator directly from orbit straight on Canterlot market square.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: The Pony Mutants led by Trixie.]]

* DownerBeginning: Ponyville is being evactuated and the majority of the remaining Equestrians [[spoiler: except for Trixe and her fellow band of mutant ponies]] that have survived the Tiberium outbreak are crammed into Canterlot, protected by the Magical Shield of Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. Applejack has been infected with Tiberium and chooses to stay behind to prevent any of the other ponies from being infected by her. She's losing consciousness and is on the verge of death. [[spoiler: Fortunately, the ISDI show up just in time to give her medical treatment and save her life.]]

* EvolutionPowerUp / PowerUpgradingDeformation : The majority of the surviving wildlife on Equestria and [[spoiler: Trixie and her Forgotten-like mutant ponies.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Brotherhood of Nod. After Kane leaving, their remnants apparently began to work with the GDI / ISDI. Hell, the ''Methuselah'' has on board a squad of ''Black Hand troopers''!]]
* TheHighwayman: [[spoiler: Trixe's Forgotten pony mutants]] attempt to rob a ISDI supply convoy.

* IAmAMonster / WhatHaveIBecome: [[spoiler: The Diamond Dog POW's initial reaction to himself after his brainwashing wears off. Played with concerning Trixe and the other mutant ponies. ]]

* IntentionalEngrishForFunny : The Berg-Langstramm Device when it is still in it's earlier phases of translating Equestrian. However, the programming gets advanced to the point that it [[spoiler: even eventually translates Applejack's accent!]] We have yet to see if vice versa was true for the ponies [[spoiler: or Diamond Dogs]] or not.

* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: Sort of. Applejack gets infected with Tiberium and knows she's dying. She tells the others to leave so she won't infect others and is prepared to die on her devastated farm. [[spoiler: Good thing the ISDI was there in time to rescue and heal her.]]

* TheLeader: [[spoiler: Trixie. As. A. Leader. Of. Forgotten-like. Group]]. A little of each Type.

* MagicKnight: Shining Armor, unicorns in the Royal Guard, and [[spoiler: possibly the unicorns amongst the Equestrian mutants/Forgotten]]

Also it turns out that [[spoiler: the Magic used by the Forgotten Ponies is VERY effective against the Scrin as it can pierce high-tech armor!]]

** [[spoiler: The purple Tiberium is made to manipulate minds... and do even worse things.]]

* {{Mutants}}: Most of the surviving flora and fauna of Equestria and [[spoiler: the Pony Forgotten group]].
* OutsideContextProblem: Very heavy on both sides. The Equestrians face a near-extinction event prior to the ISDI's arrival due to lack of knowledge and tech for Tiberium medical treatment and Tiberium harvesting procedures. The ISDI are also dealing with being a futuristic, [[StandardScifiFleet Sci-Fi Fleet]] and [[StandardSciFiArmy Army]] in a HighFantasy / SugarBowl Setting. Both Factions are struggling to deal with the [[spoiler: magical Tiberian shard they captured and the mutated wildlife that uses a combination of Tiberium-caused powers AND magic!]]

* PostModernMagic: Hinted at in recent chapters as [[spoiler: magic will be needed to modify Zone Trooper armor for unicorns spell casting and use]].
* PoweredArmor: ISDI Zone Troopers and Zone Enforces. And [[spoiler: Pony Zone Troopers]] in future chapters.

* DeadFic: The author is offline for over a year now (in August 2014 he wrote on his blog that he struggles with depression and lost interest in continuing his stories) and the fic was not updated since 10th June 2014.

* GenreBlindness / WrongGenreSavvy: Very heavy on both sides. The Equestrians face a near-extinction event prior to the ISDI's arrival due to lack of knowledge and tech for Tiberium medical treatment and Tiberium harvesting procedures. The ISDI are also dealing with being a futuristic, [[StandardScifiFleet Sci-Fi Fleet]] and [[StandardSciFiArmy Army]] in a HighFantasy / SugarBowl Setting.

*** This troper have also written to the author and he has confirmed this story begins after Season 2 and it is possibly an Alternate Universe fiction (he is undecided on whether to add the additional tag to the story or not). As to whether any of the events from Season 3 (other than Magic Mystery Cure) has taken place or not before the start of the story, the author has cryptically replied in past letters that the audience should come to their own conclusions on the matter.

* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Humanity has to allay the ponies' concerns about such possibilities.

-->'''Harold''': ''That’s going to have to wait until we finish the relocation.'' (he replied. The ponies’ ears all seemed to twitch in curiosity at that statement, a strange habit that left Harold repeatedly speechless) ''Right... so, we’re going to relocate you all to the clinic that we just set up in Canterlot. With you girls there, and especially the Princess, they’ll be happy to see that you’re all alive and well... and not [[AlienAbduction taken off to some alien camp]] down the hill to [[AlienAutopsy be dissected]].''

* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Inverted in the sense that humanity are the "aliens" in this fic and they have to allay the ponies' concerns about such possibilities.

* AlienAutopsy / AlienAbduction: Inverted in the sense that humanity are the "aliens" in this fic and they have to allay the ponies' concerns about such possibilities.

* TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies: The Scrin don't care about races inhabiting the planets infected by their Tbierium. They only care about making more Tiberium.

* TheLostWoods: The normal Everfree Forest had been bad enough. Now imagine all of the trees turned into blossom trees (yes, these freaky trees you got a wonderful look at in Tiberium Dawn cutscenes!) that are now semi-live and constantly spew Tiberium spores. It is little wonder why the ISDI plans to destroy the entire forest.

At the same time, things have gone to disaster over the previous three years in Equestria. Ever since as one of the strange meteorites had crashed into the far north of the country, a deadly green crystal has spread over much of the world like a plague. Things look bleak. Only Canterlot is left now, horrible storms wreck the land, all plantlife is dead or mutated and the animals were altered into horrible beasts. Morale is at an all-time low due to the conditions in which the survivors live and Princess Luna having fallen sick with little hope of recovery. Now the prospect of having with Applejack lost one of the Elements of Harmony and facing extinction, only a miracle can save them now...

Unfortunately, it seems that it will be a DeadFic

Unfortunately, it seems that it will be a DeadFic beacause author is offline for over three months now and in August 2014 he wrote on his blog that he struggles with depression and lost interest in continuing his stories.

* InJoke: The camp named "Greenwood" is an obvious play upon "Westwood", the name of the developing studio of the C&C series. The camp named "Castle" may also qualify, as one of Westwood Studios' co-founders is named Louis '''Castle'''.

* TheMedic: In Ops Officer Wesley. He also TRIPLES as a plant biologist and In Ops Officer (as per his title).

** The ISDI has three bases by the most recent chapter: Greenwood (near Ponyville), Castle (next to Centerlot) and Providence (at Winsome Falls).

* BosteriousBruiser: Commander Tricia Hampton, offensive crawler pilot. Her reaction to a charging Ursa Major is to ''ram it'', followed by laying into it with all guns.

* LastStand: The "siege" variant mentioned on the LastStand Page. Except in this case, it's Canterlot holding out against ion storms, earthquakes, Tiberium growth and poisoning, and hostile mutated wildlife-at least until the ISDI shows up.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: While the ISDI is trying to prevent Equestria and it's native sentients from being destroyed by Tiberium and the Scrin, the old era of Equestria has ended due to Tiberium and contact with life from other planets.

* LowCultureHighTech / SchizoTech: The Ponies are a hodgepodge of medieval, steam and modern tech (presumably because of the usage of magic in place of modern tech) and are attempting to learn how to use the futuristic arsenal of the ISDI as a part of joint-military operations.
