History Fanfic / FriendshipIsShowtime

* CatchPhrase: "It's Showtime" and "AWizardDidIt" for Haru.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pinkie Pie, as per usual. In fact, she's ''so'' crazy that even Haru, a dragon magician that regularly fights demons born from despair, finds her bizarre.
** Sora/Gremlin as well. His first real appearance involves wondering into the library (in pony form) and promptly mistaking it for a pizzeria due to Spike [[ItMakesSenseInContext singing about pizza]], which he joins in.
* ChildhoodFriends: Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Kosuke, Gilda, and [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Shou]] were all this.

* EvilMatriarch: The Harpy Phantom.

So begins the Lost Tales of the Phantoms, a book Twilight Sparkle happened upon one day at a traveling bookstore. The unicorn is left fascinated by the idea of a long lost type of magic from an age that history has long since forgotten and filled with a desire to learn more. However, the legend suddenly become all too real when one of the Phantoms sets its sights on her and Spike. But before the monster can succeed, a young dragon name Haru saves them using the same ancient magic of which the legend spoke...

* BreatherEpisode: Intermission 6, which is a mostly comical {{crossover}} with ''Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger'', coming right after a major WhamEpisode.

--> '''Medusa''': And once we've found this deserter, we'll awaken [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger the holder of N Ma's Eye.]]
** Intermission 6 has one with ''Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger''.
* CurbstompBattle: Haruto's first two fights with the Minotaur Phantom.

** In Spell Eleven, Gremlin, as Sora, asks Trixie to tell the story about [[Series/DoctorWho The Tardius]], [[Series/{{Garo}} the Golden Wolf Knight from Tartarus who slays Horrors]], or [[Machinima/RedVsBlue those red and blue ponies that kept fighting each other over a little valley with nothing but grass in it.]]

* [[spoiler:BalefulPolymorph: Haru was a pony, but ended up being turned into a dragon during the eclipse ritual.]]

* DualWielding: The Multi Ring, which lets Haru multiply his [=WizarSwordGun=] allows him to do this. Due to his PrehensileTail, he can actually wield up to [[UpToEleven three]] at once.

** Intermission 4 has [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Haru tell Fluttershy not to call him Mister, because he's not that old]], Pinkie Pie [[StarWars sensing a disturbance in the Pinkie Force]] before wondering if the big thing she sense will happen will be [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger a giant mechanical dinosaur rising from the ground while a green dragon plays a magical dagger flute]], [[Anime/YuGiOh her finding an ancient puzzle from a pyramid that will make her mane become star shaped and cause her to become really good at playing a fillies trading card game and maybe giving her an outfit with chains and leather]], [[VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten meeting a vampire who has a deep insatiable hankering for sardines with a tsundere werewolf follower]], [[VideoGame/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero meeting penguins that say 'dood' all the time]], [[VideoGame/GhostTrick or finding a black cat with a red scarf around its neck that's actually a ghost cat that can go back in time to save anypony from a terrible fate.]]

--> '''Zombie Phantom:''' [[TheSimpsons I got it! I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T!]]

** Spell 28: [[spoiler:Dryad makes a HeelFaceTurn, revealing the Phantoms aren't AlwaysChaoticEvil and tries to save her family (Harpy, Minotaur, and Hellhound), but Gremlin mutates the three of them into berserk monsters, then murders them in coldblood, revealing his TrueColors. Also, it's revealed that Nitoh lost a wing, and is implied to have lost it the same day that the Sonic Rainboom happened.]]

* StrawNihilist: After Sora reveals his TrueColors, he comes off as extremely nihilistic, seeing himself and all other Phantoms as worthless stains on life.
