History Fanfic / CrisisEquestria

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Silvertongue has some shades to this, but nopony takes the cake more than Starlight Shadow. The latter, of course, breaks form when she's angry, while the former does not in the slightest.

* TookALevelInBadass: All the Mane Six get supoerpowers in Chapter 19 to help put them on even footing with the Mean Six, and their powers are easily just as deadly and powerful.

* BloodMagic: One half of Red Velvet's powers, allowing her to manipulate her blood as a weapon and even giving her a pretty effective {{Healing Factor}}.

* {{Whatevermancy}}: Just about every single thing you can do gad some sort of type of magic related to it, from handling herbs (Biomancy) or animals (Zoolomancy). Even [[UpToEleven ''talking'']].

* JerkWithAHeartofGold: Tick Tock is a total jerk, but she is trying her best to help the Mane Six get back home and lately has been regretting her action.

* AccidentalPervert: Lockwood, in Chapter 14, is busy talking with Fluttershy after she wakes up from what essentially amounts to a coma. Rarity, after hearing that she's woken up, rushes in to be with her immediately... right out of the shower. Since nudity in Equestria-V is treated similarly to how it is in our world ([[OurNudityIsDifferent though what constitutes as appropriate clothing is confusing]]), Lockwood's reaction to a naked, wet Rarity is... understandable. Doesn't stop her from chasing him out of the room, as she has adapted to the new world's social understanding.

* TookaLevelInBadass: All the Mane Six get supoerpowers in Chapter 19 to help put them on even footing with the Mean Six, and their powers are easily just as deadly and powerful.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Curaçao's power lets her transform into the form of any pony she wishes, and she can apparently use it as a form of {{Chameleon Camouflage}}; apparently, Rarity's boost {as it was still in Insipid's possession) upgrades it to full-on {{Invisibility}}. Ophanim, Fluttershy's spirit familiar, is also able to use this power to transform into [[Animorphism various animals]].

* NightmareFuel: The other half of Red Velvet's powers is to inspire this in her victims, and she literally uses it ''as'' fuel for her other abilities.

* {{Utopia}}: The capital city of ponykind on the southern continent. [[ShapedLikeItself It's even ''named'' Utopia]].

* FantasticArousal: Wingboners make an appearance as the way pegasi display arousal, but it's implied by Rarity that it's also a sort of mating display like a peacock. Unicorns supposedly do something similar by displaying grand displays of magic.

The story starts when Twilight Sparkle and her friends are sucked into a portal and warped to another dimension, where they quickly realize they're not in their own Equestria anymore. The new world is similar to ours at first glance, with a giant city populated by hundreds of thousands of ponies.
and chronicles their tales to get back home. They make new friends along the way, but they make new enemies as well, and the world itself from what they've seen is more dangerous than anything they faced back at home.

* BreakingtheFourthWall: Pinkie Pie, natch.

* [[spoiler:DeathisCheap: Shadowstep won't let a little thing like death stop him from pursuing Tick Tock. Lucky for him that Silvertongue actually seems to like him!]]

* FishOutofWater: The Mane Six and their complete lack of understanding of how Equestria-V and specifically New Pandemonium City work makes things difficult for them right off the bat. They pretty much ''need'' to rely on Flathoof and Lockwood to get them out of trouble during their first two days there.

* [[spoiler: GeneticEngineeringistheNewNuke: The Mean Six are cloned from the Mane Six and empowered with evil magicks, and pretty much instantly become a serious threat.]]

* JerkWithaHeartofGold: Tick Tock is a total jerk, but she is trying her best to help the Mane Six get back home and lately has been regretting her action.

* LefttheBackgroundMusicOn: Pinkie likes to play music while she's fighting, fully embracing the idea of {{Theme Music Power Up}} is in play. Every time, the other characters can hear it, as can the reader.

* MisterExposition: Gilderoy [[InvokedTrope invokes]] and lampshades this when he gives the Mane Six a rather long-winded run-down of gryphon history, their powers, and [[spoiler: Silvertongue]]

* OhCrap: A few moments here and there, typically courtesy of Rainbow Dash.

* PreparetoDie: Starlight Shadow seems fond of this trope, as she's used it twice against Tick Tock so far. Shadowstep seems to have a bad habit of letting it get in the way of killing her too.
* PoweroftheStorm: Rainbow Dash's power allows her to control and create weather by flying in a certain way. Spinning creates [[BlowYouAway tornadoes]], using static electricity creates [[ShockandAwe lightning]], and so on. We've yet to see anything besides though two, though.
* PoweroftheVoid: The portals that Chronomancers work with and protect their worlds from are fueled with this kind of magic. [[spoiler: Starlight Shadow's magic is also fueled by this power source, which is why she's as powerful as she is, but gives her a critical weakness to Tick Tock... if the latter had her [[SignatureDevice Time Keeper]].]]

* ShipTease[=/=]ShipperonDeck: Rarity has been trying her best to hook Fluttershy and Lockwood up since they left the city and seems to be doing a fair job at it. Insipid, as her {{Evil Counterpart}}, seems to have this quality too, and ships Fluttershy/Rarity, which they both deny. Makes sense, since Insipd is [[spoiler: Rarity's clone.]]

* ThisisforEmphasisBitch: Havocwing decides to drop all pretense of {{Unusual Euphemism}} in her second fight against Rainbow Dash.
* TookaLevelinBadass: All the Mane Six get supoerpowers in Chapter 19 to help put them on even footing with the Mean Six, and their powers are easily just as deadly and powerful.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Insipid's lack of understanding of how the powers she steals work allows her to use them in ways that the original user either never thought of or thought impossible. Her use of Rarity's boosting magic is a prime example, as she uses it to boost ''herself'', which Rarity either can't do or at least has yet to try

*** TheBiggerBad: Nihila

** TheEvilGenius: Curaçao

** Really, all of the Mean 6 are Manipulative Bitches. To varying degrees. The whole first phase of their plan was to [[spoiler:corrupt the Mane 6 away from their element of harmony via manipulation.]] Starlight, Curacao, and Grayscale are probably the most effective in this regard, and [[LeeroyJenkins Havoc]], surprisingly, doesn't do too badly either.

* TookaLevelinBadass: All the Mane Six get supoerpowers in Chapter 20 to help put them on even footing with the Mean Six, and their powers are easily just as deadly and powerful.

* ManipulativeBastard: Events in Chapter 20 reveal that [[spoiler: Silvertongue is responsible for everything related to the world's current state, and he did so by manipulating the gryphons in fighting against evil and bringing balance to the world, then committing genocide against them.]]

* BigNo: Fluttershy gives one when Lockwood is injured in Chapter 21.

* Magitek: The main source of technology in New Pandemonium City is called techno-magic, originally developed by the gryphons.

* BigShut Up: Red Velvet delivers a particularly angry one to Pinkie Pie in Chapter 16, annoyed at Pinkie's antics.

* ManofWealthandTaste: Silvertongue always dresses in style, likes opera sung in a dead language, drinks wine at breakfast, etc.

* MechaMook: The A.M.P. Troopers are pony-shaped robots equipped with flechete rounds and electro-shock weaponry.

''[[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/story-crisis-equestria.html CRISIS: Equestria]]'' fanfic for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

* AchievementsinIgnorance: Insipid's lack of understanding of how the powers she steals work allows her to use them in ways that the original user either never thought of or thought impossible. Her use of Rarity's boosting magic is a prime example, as she uses it to boost ''herself'', which Rarity either can't do or at least has yet to try

* CompleteMonster: Shadowstep milks Snapshot, a close friend of Flathoof's and an innocent pony, into giving him information to track the Mane Six. He then seduces and murders her before even getting to the act, and enjoys himself the entire time.

* CrazyAwesome: Pinkie's power seems to run off a combination of this and {{Breaking the Fourth Wall}}.

* HoYay: There's a lot of subtext between Flathoof and Lockwood, as well as some perhaps between Fluttershy and Rarity.

* JerkassWoobie: Tick Tock again, who is enough of a jerk that she possibly deserves a lot of the punishment she endures, but she's still treated sympathetically.

* HoYay: There's a lot of subtext between Flathoof and Lockwood, as well as some perhaps between Fluttershy and Rarity.

!!''CRISIS: Equestria'' contains the following tropes:

* Achievements in Ignorance: Insipid's lack of understanding of how the powers she steals work allows her to use them in ways that the original user either never thought of or thought impossible. Her use of Rarity's boosting magic is a prime example, as she uses it to boost ''herself'', which Rarity either can't do or at least has yet to try
* Bad Boss: Silvertongue pretty much kills his employees without remorse if they fail to live up to his standards. At least he gives them a chance to redeem themselves. [[spoiler: Doctor Blutsauger, however, is not afforded that same treatment.]]
* Bad Powers Bad People: Red Velvet has powers that allow her to manipulate her own blood as a weapon, and to play off of another pony's fears to terrify them into submission. She's easily the most evil of the Mean Six.
* The Beast Master: Fluttershy's powers, once unlocked, allow her to command animals to aid her in battle. As there are no animals in the north of Equestria-V, she is given a spirit familiar named Ophanim that can transform into an animal. [[spoiler: He is able to change into any animal at will after Fluttershy realizes he can, despite being told he couldn't.]]
* Big No: Fluttershy gives one when Lockwood is injured in Chapter 21.
* Big Shut Up: Red Velvet delivers a particularly angry one to Pinkie Pie in Chapter 16, annoyed at Pinkie's antics.
* Blood Magic: One half of Red Velvet's powers, allowing her to manipulate her blood as a weapon and even giving her a pretty effective {{Healing Factor}}.
* Brick Joke: Invoked by Pinkie, who promises her sword from Chapter 16 will appear again in Chapter 20. It does, and [[spoiler: is stolen by her past self to bring back to Chapter 16 with her]].
* Breaking the Fourth Wall: Pinkie Pie, natch.
* The Chessmaster: Silvertongue, despite setbacks, always seems to have an alternate plan ready to go should his current plan get hampered in any way.
* Casual Danger Dialogue: A common occurrence throughout the fic, none more prominent than the one at the beginning of Chapter 11. [[spoiler: Floating around in a pool of lava with nothing more than a weakening bubble of magic between you and certain fiery death? Sounds like a perfect time for jokes!]]
* Complete Monster: Shadowstep milks Snapshot, a close friend of Flathoof's and an innocent pony, into giving him information to track the Mane Six. He then seduces and murders her before even getting to the act, and enjoys himself the entire time.
* Cool Sword: Pinkie's one-time weapon in Chapter 16 is described as incredibly pretty, and it's able to hold against Red Velvet's powerful blood blades, which we'd seen can rip through A.M.P. Troopers with ease.
* Cowardly Lion: Fluttershy wants nothing to do with fighting, but like in the show, will stand her ground to protect her friends.
* Crapsack World: Well, at least the northern continent is. The south is played up as a much, much more pleasant place, but it's yet to be seen.
* Crazy Awesome: Pinkie's power seems to run off a combination of this and {{Breaking the Fourth Wall}}.
* Dangerously Genre Savvy: Shadowstep knows better than to fall prey to {{No One Could Survive That}}, and goes off to check for Tick Tock's body after dropping her from miles above the city. Unfortunately for him, Tick Tock knows the cloud-walking spell from Sonic Rainboom, and uses it to escape through the city's smog layers.
* Dark Reprise: Red Velvet is the master of this, taking everything from children's tunes to Pinkie's songs and making them sound utterly and deliciously evil.
