Terraria-MLP crossover. Our hero's simple life of fighting to see the next day, but what happens when he is summoned to another world to free a few kingdoms form a group of evil beings. Read and find out.

Everyone calls Brandon a hero, but to he is just a 16 year old with the power to create or summon any object he can think of. Quite a boring life if I were to say. All is about to change when he is summoned to Equestria to fight a god of chaos , who has somehow destroyed the elements of harmony.

First fanfic, so tips would be nice.

I did this because there is so little Terraria/MLP fan fictions.
The other tag is characters and side-characters that will appear in the story.

I'm putting up this story for adoption. PM me if you want it.

Chapter 1- The summoning and The take over

Main character, Brandon, look/description: dark brown hair with some red, light tan skin, brown eyes, 5'10", light build and slim, very good at magic, crafting, sword play, has eyes of a sniper, thinker, potion maker of any kind, and knows how to deal with the situation (most of the time). Clothes/accessories : white shirt with a sun design, black zip-up sweater with a moon design on the back of it, blue pants, brown hiking boots, two bracelets, one of gold with a ruby that shows the amount of health out of a cretin number, the other is silver with a sapphire that the amount of mana (magical energy) out of a cretin number.

Brandon's POV

Run. It was all of I could think. The reason I was running because the Pumpkin King trying to kill me,(The Pumpkin King a god of nightmares,the head is a giant Jack-o-lantern, the body is covered in a black tattered robe, the arms are made up of vines that end in sickles),even though that if I were to be killed I would be reincarnated, but dying hurts so much. Also when there was a boss monster I'd would fight, but I'm in no condition to fight when your armor is nearly gone, 25/500 HP with no healing potions, and no weapons or tools of any kind and out of magical energy.

A few min. of running later

"Whats wrong hero," said the Pumpkin King "are you to afraid to fight me?" then swing his sickle at me almost taking my head off.

"No I'm not." I said annoyed while evading his attack. "I'm running from you because I don't have any weapons to kill you with, dumb a**." That made the god very mad and was now swinging his sickles crazily at me as well as swearing in some, probably very old, language. One of his shots got lucky, when I was evading the attacks, and hit me with the blunt side of one of his two weapons and knocking me down on the ground in a slight daze.

"ow." I said trying to get up but can't because one of the two sickles was embedded through my right led and into the ground, it, was a bloody mess. When I looked up, I saw the Pumpkin King floating and looking down with a gleeful smile plastered on his face and a one of fear on mine.

"That look on your face," said the nightmare god. " I love it."  Then the Pumpkin King lift his other remaining sickle and said

"Thank you for the fun but everything has to come to an end." then he swung down his sickle to make the finale blow. I close my eyes and wait for the impact but it never came. I opened my eyes and was blinded by light and shut them quickly, then reopened my eyes slowly this time and saw that i was in a what appears to be a tunnel made of light. I looked head and saw the suppose exit. When I exited the tunnel I was in a cave but everything was blurred so I can't make out any thing and was falling asleep do to the lack of energy and the 'fight' with the Pumpkin King.

Some time ago in Equestria

The time of year was mid-spring the birds were chirping or singing and everypony was enjoying the day in there own way like talking to there friends, going for a walk, afternoon nap, doing whatever. That change quickly when a hologram appeared in the sky, the said hologram was that of a o-so-familiar Draconequus.

"Hello Equestria, i'm Discord for thoses that didn't know," boomed the hologram "if anypony is wondering why i'm not in my stony prison its because the one you all were fighting was a shadow clone, a fake, while the real me was exploring the multiverse putting together six armies with six generals to take over not just Equestria, but the Dragon empire, the Crystal empire, and the Griffon kingdom."

After Discord's speech was finish his armies appeared around Canterlot  and took it over with very little effort. While fighting went on Discord sneak in undetected into the Elements vault and smashed the said elements. After the elements of harmony the souls of harmony (the power source) left their now broken gemstone homes in search of new ones, but before they could Discord took hold of them and place them into six containers that prevents them from escaping.

In the throne room the six generals are locked in combat with Princess based Celestial, Princess Luna, Captain Shining Armor, and Princess Cadence acting as support. During the battle Cadence was the first to be defeated by the kung-fu general, Shining saw this and was angered because he was in love with her and was going to confess to her. The next thing Captain Armor did was rush the attacker that defeated, when Shining got within striking range he didn't get a chance to attack and was bombarded with lighting fast kung-fu based attacks and was hurled through the air into a wall rendering him unconscious. Celestial and Luna, the last two of the group were out of energy and berth, they tried to do a last ditch effort spell to defeat the opponents, but unknown to them they were attack from behind and knot to the ground canceling the spell. They were defeated, overwhelmed by numbers and power.

Around 15 minutes later Discord comes strolling in the throne room with a gleeful but evil smile with the harmonic elements in tow.

"Aw. I missed the party" said Discord complaining and looking around the room. Celestia and Luna are pined down and out, Cadence out cold, and Shining Armor implanted in a wall.

"Generals." stated Discord

"Yes." they replied

"I want you six to slit up into groups of two along with your armies and one group goes north to the Crystal empire, another to the East to the Griffon Kingdom, and the last group will go West to the Dragon empire. Once you have gotten there take it over." explain Discord

"What about this place?" one of the six ask.

"I o'ready got that covered with my personal army that I pop into realty at the borders of Equestria and headed inwards to Canterlot removing any resistance on the way and taking over the towns and cities." said the multi-being and snapping his lion paw teleporting Twilight and her friends in front of him.

"Where are we" said Twilight (she and her friends were having a picnic).

"Why my dear Sparkle, your in Canterlot" said Discord, who in return got to see mixed emotions of surprise, fear, hate, and a emotion and action specifically for each of the main six. Twilight Sparkle glaring daggers, Applejack holding back Rainbow Dash, who when she saw Discord jumped to a conclusion and attempted to attack, Rarity fainted in an over dramatic way(but not for long), Fluttershy cowering behind Twilight, and Pinkie Pie is... being herself, but with a face splitting smile.

"Discord how did you escape?" ask Twilight still mad at him for things he have did. After Discord herd that he just face palmed.

"You girls are telling me that none of you saw the giant hologram of my face in the sky a hour ago." said Discord failing to see such big thing.

"Find, watch this." said Discord and snapped his talons and with a pop a 122 in. T.V. appeared and show the main six what happen from the hologram speech to the present and the part when Discord smash the Elements of Harmony. At the end of the show the main six were speech less, but Pinkie was sitting in a char eating popcorn.

"Well nothing to say, then lets get down to the reason why you all are here. I'm going to banish Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and you six to the Everyfree Forest where all of you will live the rest of your life." said Discord sitting on his custom throne and with a snapped they were gone.

"What are you six standing around for, you got your jobs," said Discord and the six generals left without saying a word "every thing is going as planed."

Two weeks later in the Equestrian world

The Dragon kingdom was the first to fall when the honorer bound king was challenge by Discord's kung-fu general, the said king was bound by the dragon's code so he had to fight and he lost. The battle lasted for a total of three seconds. Up North at the Crystal Empire fell quickly since it recently got back form being lost. West at the Griffon Kingdom, the take over took around half of a day and many griffon fighters were slain.

In the Everfree

A giant dome, in side of it was the ruins of an old castle. In side of the castle were the ponies that were banish, all of them were mopping but not Pinkie Pie who was trying to get everypony to smile. Pinkie was trying to get anypony to be happy until Rainbow snapped and shouted.

"Pinkie, don't you get it, we were beat and we can't do anything to stop Discord or his generals, and I know that you know what they did!" yelled the pegasus, but Pinkie was unfazed by that.

"No we'er not." said Pinkie

"Then how do yo purpose how to get out of here and stop Discord and his armies, dear?" said Rarity

"OK, like my great, great, great, great,(5 minutes later) great, great, grandpa once said when there's a will there's a way. So all we need to do is have the princesses and Twilight to cast a spell to summon a hero that is strong enough, smart enough, brave enough, and fast enough to beat Discord and his armies." said the pink mare. Everypony didn't expect to hear that from Pinkie Pie.

"I say we do it," said Luna "we have nothing to lose." Then everypony else agreed one by one.

(some time later)

A very large magic circle was drawn on the ground and the three princesses and Twilight were preparing to cast the spell. Then the magic circle began to glow signaling that it ready to be cast. Once the spell was cast nothing happen yet, then a portal open up and out came a being that nopouny has every seen before. The said hero was asleep at the moment.

"That's the hero, he's a tooth pick." said Rainbow

Chapter 2- Waking up in a new world

Brandon's Dream realm

Planes of nerve ending fields of golden wheat, the east side of the sky was in a permanent sun set, the other side was a permanent moon rise.So, its this dream again. I thought to myself when I open om eyes looking up at the twilight zone of the sky and sitting up looking to the left then the right. The last time when I had this dream was six-ish years ago when I got drafted the god king Odin. He said that I am needed somewhere else and sent me to the world of Terraria.

Last time I had this dream, I had to fight four puppets, one of magic, another of melee weaponry, then one range, and the last one of all three that was before it. Also all of them were around 6.4-7 ft. tall.  The main reason for this dream is that its saying you are going to have an adventure. I thought to myself and standing up looking for any sign of trouble, but didn't find until I looked north, in the distance was the wooden puppets, an army of them. This was going to take a long time. The next thing I did was summon a Mythril armor melee set, Specter boots, Obsidian shield, Steam punk wings, a Excalibur, a spell book of both Crystal Storm and Cursed Flames as one book, and a Uzi. Well I am going up agents an army.

Over at the Puppet army. Third Person

The army was eagerly waiting for there 'enemy' to show up. The weapons they had range form copper short swords to  Titanium swords, wooden bows to titanium repeaters, and from aqua scepters to Magnet Sphere spell books. The commander/king had a Excalibur and a golden crown, signaling that he was the leader. Later a scout with a hand held telescope was looking for the 'enemy', the puppet was scanning the field and saw a sparkling item and with closer inspection it was him. The said scout was now running to the commander/king to tell him about the enemy has arrived and after the commander was told, he told the scout to ready the troops. The scout blew a horn to alert the army, the army it self got into formation and was ready to fight, waiting for the command to charge.  The commander raised his sword and pointed it at their 'enemy' and with that the army of puppets charged wanting to spill the blood of the 'enemy'.

The Puppet army has awoken.

Brandon's POV

The sound of a horn reach my ears and the sight of an army running at me. Let the show begin. I thought and started to run to the charging army and shooting bullets form my Uzi. When the army of puppets and I clash, I stop shooting my Uzi and started to swing my Excalibur to cut the puppets, each swing cut one, two or three puppets at once. After I sliced the next puppet I flew up with my Steam punk wings and with the combined power of the Crystal Storm and the Cursed Flames, I made it rain of burning crystal shards form above. That attack killed around 150 puppets. I landed around 30 meters away form the army that is now one third smaller. 45 of the puppets had rocket launchers and fired the rockets.

I prepared myself and spread my wings and waited for the rockets to get close and when they did I flapped my wings making a powerful whirlwind and sent the rockets flying back at the puppets twice as fast. The puppets panic and try to run but they were to slow blew up by the rockets that they fired at me. Now only 25-35 puppets troops were left, I dispose of them with my Uzi. Now only the commander/king puppet was left.  The puppet king charge at me and jump to bring downward slash trying to cut me down the middle but I block it with my sword and with my free hand I sent a torrent of cursed fire at him and turning the king into ash and his sword and crown into a puddle of molten metal.

"Well, that was easier than I thought." I said out loud to no one.

The Puppet army has been defeated

Third Person

Unknown to Brandon, up at the cloud level Princess Luna was watching the hole thing take place then left his dream realm back into the waking one.

In the waking world

After Princess Luna returned to her body and got up, Everypony was wondering what was happening and ask Luna.

"He's has great skill in sword play, marksmen ship, and adept spell caster." said Luna.

"What, how do know that anti Luna?" ask Cadence.

"Well, I'll tell all of what I saw in his dream." said Luna and told what she saw in the hero's dream in great detail and at the end of Luna's explanation, everypony was taken back when they herd that the hero took on an army with weapons that could cause mass damage and that he did it with little to no effort. There was a strange silence until Fluttershy broke the ice with.

"Um, girls he's waking up." said Fluttershy loud enough for everypony to hear. Now everypony was looking at the hero who is getting up.

Brandon's POV

"Where I'm I?" I said, then some thing unexpected happened.

"Hi." said the pink thing that came out of nowhere and made me jump back a few feet.

"What the... um who and what are you?" I said and got a better look her. I know it was a her because of her figure, she was pinker than anything I've seen, also she was covered from head to... hoof(?) with pink fur and was wearing a bight pink shirt and light blue pants. Her closes had some holes in them.

"My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie Pie. I'm a pony and my friends are behind you." said Pinkie.

"Ok." I said and trued and saw a group of eight more mares.

"Hi." I said to them and thought. This is new and I guess that I'm going on an adventure with these nine.Also why do they have such ampule figures?

Chapter 3- Starting the adventure

Brandon's POV

"Hi," I said the group."jugging by the surroundings, that I'm in a different world, so I'll introduce my self."

"My name is Brandon, I'm a Terrarian, my age is 16 years." I said. Next was the purple unicorn, who was wearing a blue long sleeve shirt that was rolled to her elbows and had light blue pants that were sightly ripped, her main and tail were dark purple with a pink strip going through the middle.

"Hi I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. The next one was a blue pegasuses with a with a rainbow main and tail, she was wearing sports shirt and shorts. I can tell that she is an athlete and had a ego that could be her down fall, but was  loyal to those that she trusts.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier." Rainbow said while striking a pose. After Rainbow was a tan-ish pony with a blonde main and tail, she was wearing a checker shirt and blue pants that were broken in form hard working  and was wearing a stetson hat.

"Nice to meet ya, names Applejack." Applejack said and offered a handshake, I accepted it. Now with my sore hand, the next pony was a white unicorn with a deep purple main and tail, she was wearing a sun dress that had seen better days.

"Hello darling, my name Rarity Bell." Rarity said, who was quite happy to see for some reason. The next person... er pony was a yellow pegasuses with a bubblegum pink main and tail, she was wearing a green sweater and a skirt.

"I'm Fluttershy, nice to meet you." Fluttershy said every quietly.

"Nice to meet you as well Fluttershy. If you are wondering how I heard you, because a few years ago I figured how to enhance my scenes to their maximum potential with magic." I said with a smile. The next pony was a pegacorn, no... um... alicorn, yes that sounds right, she was wearing a dress, but it was ripped in some places, her main and tail were a mixture of pink, purple, and light yellow.

"Hello, my name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or Cadence for short." Cadence said.

"E 'bello conoscerti"(It's good to meet you.) I said to her in Italian, Cadence blushed a little and everyone/pony else was slightly surprised that I could speak more than one language.

(Au. note : the main character can speak four languages.)

The next pony is an alicorn, her fur is dark blue, her main and tail is like the night sky and is like its being push by an endless breeze, she also had a light blue dress that was ripped in some places.

"I'm Princess Luna, the bringer of the night." Luna said. The next pony is an alicorn and is the tallest out of the group, she had white fur and was wearing a dress that had more rips than the other two before her and her main and tail was like Luna's but its colors were pink, blue, purple, and green.

"Hello hero, I am Princess Celestia, the bringer of the day." Celestia said.

"Good, now with the introductions finish. Does anyone have a question, that they liked to ask." I said to them.

"Yes, Pinkie Pie." I said to Pinkie who had her hand up.

"What was your world liked?" ask Pinkie.

"Which one," I said "the world of my birth, Earth or the one Odin sent me to, Terraria."

"Um, both." said Pinkie

"OK..." I started to explain the first ten years of my life up to when Odin a god king sent me, a ten-an-a-half year old child to Terraria, along with four kids who were girls and had the same amount of potential or less. The ponies were shocked and kind of angry at the fact that a god would send children to another world. After I finish explaining that, then I told them about adventures or misadventures in Terraria, from the first day to the battle with Plantera. At some points of my tail, the ponies showed many reactions like fainting, scared, and some others, also everyone but Celestia had left the room to throw up.

"Now with that over, I have a question," I said "how did I get here?"

Once I ask that, Luna stepped foreword and told my about of what happen to their world and why they summoned me. To sum it up, I am here to fight six armies, more like seven and take back/free the world from Discord, who is a god of chaos, the bad kind of chaos. I also learned that the girls and my self were trapped inside of a dome that is inside of a forest called the Everyfree forest.

"So I'm here to free the world." I said.

"Yes." they all said in their own way.

"Well the first thing that has to be finish is getting out of this dome." I said.

"How are you suppose to do that, we have tried to get out of here with no success." said Twilight.

"Well I have two ways to get out of the dome." I said.

"What are your two ideas to get out of here?" ask Cadence.

"The fist way is to use bombs to blow up the shield or two I use a Sniper Rifle with explosive bullets to shoot the weakest point in the dome causing the said shield to fall on its self." I said.

"Which way is less scary... if you don't mine me saying." said Fluttershy.

"Not at all, the first way is very loud and the second way is not rally as loud," I said " so which way would you girls would want to go?"

The voting was two to seven, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow were for the first and everyone else for the second.

"Ok, the sniper it is." I said and walked out of the castle while summoning my Unreal sniper rifle and loaded it with explosive bullets. Once I got outside, I was looking for the weakest point of the dome.

"Is that the-" said Rainbow but didn't get to finish as I found the weakest point and fired the bullet at it and hitting it.  When I fired, a loud bang was herd throughout the area.

"You say something Dash?" I ask her.

"No." she said.

"Brandon, what is that item?" ask Celestia, who is a bit concerned.

"This weapon is know as the sniper rifle, a insanely long rang weapon, like a crossbow but 10,000 times more dangerous. If you are wondering, I don't turn my weapons or powers on the innocent." I said and that calmed her down.

"Now where is the closest town." I ask the group, but before anyone could answer, a rustling in the forest cause everyone to stop and to see what it is. The creature that came out was a Zorua a pokemon, yes a pokemon, who was a shiny one and was being chase by a pack of wooden wolves. How did a pokemon get here? I thought, No madder time to teach these wooden mutts a lesson.

I dash to the pack of timber wolves as the ponies called them, more like yelling. As I got close I picked up the pokemon and used conquerors haki (a power form anime one piece), which after I did the timber wolves all fell out cold.

I got up with the pokemon who is in a lot of pain, I placed my hand on him or her and cash a healing spell that healed him or her, at first Zorua flinched but calmed after the healing was finish. I turned around and walked to get group and with Zorua who was now asleep. When I got back to the girls, it was silent.

"Um... that wa-" I was unable to finish because of Rainbow.

"[size=20]THAT. WAS. AWESOME.[/20]" said Rainbow, who then got a very large scratch marks by Zorua, then the pokemon jumped into my arms and went back to sleep.

"How did you do that and whats her problem." said Rainbow.

"That back there was a skill I learned a wile back, but I can only use it once every week." I said.

Later after I was explaining what Zorua is, we were walking to the nearest town to get things for the tip around the kingdoms. When we got out of the forest, what we were suppose to see was a nice and happy town of Ponyville, but instead was an enslavement camp in its place, the only thing that I said was.

"What the Hell?'"

A Side note

Dose anyone think that I should add some romance to the story?

If so should it be OC with whoever, like one of the main six or all, the princesses, anyone relay.

Tell me what you readers of what I should do.

Another thing I'm thinking that this story is going to be around 40-60 chapters or more.

Chapter 4- The first mission: part 1

Brandon's POV

As we saw the once happy town, now a enslavement camp. The main six, three of them were crying and the other three shed a few tears, but held themselves together. The princesses and I were... well... extremely pissed off, I had to grab Celestia before she ran off into the town, while Cadence clam down Luna's building rage.

"Is there any place to hide?" I ask the mares.

"Yes, at Fulttershy's cottage is the only place outside of town." said Rarity pointing to the place that is around 50-60 yards away. How did I missed that. I thought. The cottage it self look like a shoot out had happened there and left it there to rot.

"That will have to do, we can't get spotted out here." I said and started to walk to the broken down place. The girls were hesitant and fist but follow me to the house. When we got inside of the place, everything was ruined. I put Zorua on a cushion, she was still asleep.(Fluttershy told me that) I went to a random wall and leaned on it.

A few minutes later.

"Is everyone calmed?" I ask the group.

"Yes we are." said Applejack and the others nodding their heads.

"Good, I'm going to sneak into town to get some info. of what has happened and find a way to free the town." I said to them.

"I'm going too." said Rainbow with anger in her eyes.

"No." I said to her.

"But why not!" Rainbow yelled.

"If I get caught, I could get away easily, but if you get caught they would kill you without a second thought." I said and when I did Dash got in my face.

"Is that a threat?" Rainbow said with hate.

"No it is not," I said "let me tell you this, I have single handedly fought wars and armies and came out on top. Also do you have the skill and will to fight or kill an army?"

"No." Rainbow said feeling defeated.

"Before I go, you girls will be needing new closes." I said and summoned a large wooden chest and place it down.

"There are closes of many kind inside of the chest as well as some armor." I said.

"Why do we need armor?" ask Pinkie.

"I'm not the only one that is going to fight throughout the journey, at some points of the journey most of you ponies are going to fight or have to fight." I said and summoned two items one a iPad and the other some shades.

"What are those for?" ask Twilight.

"These items are like spy gear, once they are both turn on, the iPad will show what the shades see, like so." I said and turn on both items and put the shades on, the iPad is showing what I am seeing. Lets say that the ponies were impressed by my items.

"That's so cool, can I have one?" ask Pinkie doing the puppy dog look.

"No, you can not Pinkie. This is my only set, you can hold onto it while I'm about and don't break it." I said. Pinkie Pie cheered and took the iPad.

"Well, I'm going to head into town." I said and left the cottage once outside I summoned a spectre armor set and went into town.

10 mins. later

After I got into town and keeping a low profile, I am currently in a alley waiting for a single guard to past by.  The guard themselves were creatures that have been place into a blender that was on for some time. I peaked my head out of the alley to see if there were any guards passing by, one was making his rounds, completely oblivious of where I am. Once he got close to my location I grab him and went to the back of the alley and pinning him to the wall. I summoned a dagger and held it to his throat.

"Hello, I'm going to ask you some questions and you are going to answer them alright." I said to him and he nodded.

"Q. 1:  Where are all of the stallions since there aren't any around." I said.

"When Discord took over, he converted 90% of the male ponies into female and the ones that were not converted they are being use as breeders." said the guard.

"Ok... that, is just mess the fuck up." I said felling weird.

"Can I ask you a question." said the guard.

"Um... fine you can." I said.

"Can I team up with you to fight Discord," said the guard "the reason is that I really hate him and the things that he has did."

"Let me think about it." I said

Hmm... he can be a double anent, but he could rat me and the girls out. Hay S.C.2 what do you think. I thought.

What I think is that we should team up. S.C.2 said.

(S.C.2 is subconscious 2 the other side of my mine that I made in my mine.)

Yes, we should. I thought.

"Yes you can join, its good to have a person on the in side." I said and back up from him and give him space.

"Thanks." said the guard. He told me all about whats going on around here and gave me a map of the town.

"We can continue later tonight an the entrance of the forest, for now I have to get back to my post." said the guard.We both left and I went back to cottage to put together a plan to free this town.

Part one completed
