Disclaimer: Welcome to Darkon Arters Shadows "MLP:FIM Story Idea's or Pony Concept Cavalcade", most of this will be Friendship Is Magic related, I've already said sorry to Wind Whistler. I do not own any of this and it's going to cover a large assortment of parodies that any can probably glean idea's from I will cover a wide range of topics five ideas at a time so if you see an idea worth saving pick it out of this pile of scrappily written partially made out one shots.
There will one idea per chapter and at a random length, whatever comes up from me is what you see.
Let us begin.
Idea one, Advancing Ponies!
Twilight woke up in her home and called out for Spike not receiving a response she wandered out of the library and gawked at the large metallic object sitting in front of her with Princess Celestia peaking out of the top of it.
"Twilight Sparkle my faithful student so glad you could join me for morning combat exercises, you're going to need them, the Blue Loony's are attacking Orange Celestials territory soon and I need to prepare you for such an eventuality." Twilight stood their speechless staring at her teacher blanky.
"Princess Celestia, what… what are you talking about, what's going on? What is that thing?" Celestia just telekinetically pulled Twilight on top of the tank and then yelled to the driver below her. "PUNCH IT CO (Commanding Officer) Armored Applejack, we're late to combat practice for CO Sporadic Sparkle".
"Okay COP (commanding officer Princess) Cindering Celestia, ere' we go!" The tank then sped off out of a peaceful looking Ponyville with a confused looking Twilight Sparkle on top.

Celestia was standing on the hill with Twilight Sparkle overlooking two large colts, standing barely a mile apart the colt on the right side of the field was wearing a red helmet with an orange sun on it and had ten floating above its head, on the other side was a more ragtag looking colt wearing a purple helmet with orange sun on it also adorned with a number 10 floating above its head.
"Okay first lesson in warfare how to move you're soldier units, soldier units are used to capture enemy cities and headquarters. Today is day one and it's your turn after you have moved your units it'll then be my turn to move, but for this exercise we'll ignore moving my troops at all. I want you to move your soldier unit three spaces to the right and attack and then end your turn."
"Um… Celestia are you alright, you're acting kind of weird and why are you telling me to order that colt to attack the other colt?" Twilight received a simple small and a small pat on the head for her troubles.
"How could you have forgotten my faithful student, didn't you want to become a CO and join in on all the strategic fun for the Orange Sun cause? Now just tell your unit to move three spaces east and attack to the east they will do the rest. If you're confused ask for a grid to see the movement distance of you units." Twilight gave Celestia and odd look; there were only two ponies out there, Celestia actually believed she wanted to order around giant ponies with numbers floating above their heads to attack other ponies? Maybe she had one to many of Applejacks applejack last night, nothing better to do but go along with it to see what happens.
"Um grid…. Soldier unit advance east three times and attack to the east." Twilight watched as a visible square grid appeared before her eyes and her unit move three squares to the right from her position and then the world warped and suddenly they were both floating above two forces of ten colts each inside large boxes looking down on the colts. Twilights colts charged forward stood up on their hind hooves and pulled out machine guns and fired away at Celestia's forces who returned fire. For some reason Twilight felt an unusual amount of elation but she couldn't figure out why, looking over to Celestia she saw her smile sadly crying a bit, Twilight was utterly confused by what was going on.
The world flashed and they were both standing back on the hill side looking at the colts as they stood next to each other, Twilights colt had a seven hanging above his head and Celestia's had a five hanging above his. Wait did those numbers mean living ponies and did she just kill them and then enjoyed it!
"Good job my faithful student, but oh look at the time I'll leave you in the hands of one of our most capable CO's, unfortunately I only know where one of them is you'll have to find CO Dog-tag Ditzy somewhere out on the battlefield, she's our guerrilla warfare expert and she'll teach you about mech units, she should be in a dog hole somewhere out there. I'm very busy now, bye Twilight and good luck with the war I've assigned Armored Applejack to your CO roster to continue teaching you, she's our tank expert with a lot of kick." With that Celestia left a confused, dizzy and ready to throw up Twilight who turned to the field and noticed that the two giant colts were gone. Had she just imagined that? Before Twilight knew it Applejack rode up sitting on top of a tank.
"Boy howdy you sure do pick up this CO stuff quickly Twilight, now let's get a move on them Blue Loony varmints are attacking our borders something fierce and we need to find CO Dog-tag Ditzy and quick like." Before Twilight could say anything she was dragged into the tank by the earth pony formerly known as her friend Applejack and their tank sped off into the distance.

"How can you not remember? I most certainly remember your wicked laughter! I know what you did and there's no escaping the long distance power of CO Long shot Luna of the Blue Loony's army." Luna said to Twilight and they were standing barely ten feet from each other with the Applejack ready and waiting for the battle to begin and their units to take the field. A weirdly catchy music played as Luna talk and it was western themed which Twilight thought would have better fit Applejack but she had this weird music she couldn't describe, in fact where was that music even coming from.

"For I am the Great and Powerful CO Tailwind Trixie, you won't survive my mighty blizzards for spurning our friendship! Blue Loony's front and center, we're going to win this!" Trixie's army took the field and Twilight whined a bit how did she get dragged into this and why did she smile when her units won a scuffle and why did she not feel as bad when they lost? What was happening to her? Why did she stop caring and when did she start having fun at the expense of her apparently loyal soldiers.

"Um… if you don't mind Twilight I want to get the battle started now… if that's alright with you, I'm CO Fleeting Fluttershy, my CO power is the inability to see my unit's strength and I like hiding in fog of wars. If you don't mind playing a little hide and seek, that is. Oh, I hope I don't lose. CO Rallying Rainbow is going to be so cross with me if I do." Fluttershy was still Fluttershy even though she was wearing camouflage and surrounding herself with bushes she blended in with very well.
So far Twilights has had a run in with Green Equestrian army led by CO Gearhead Gilda who could make her vehicle units move an extra turn plus she specialized in flying units and CO Splashdown Spike who had somehow cornered the market on sea faring combat units and having cheaper units. Now she was fighting the Yellow Yokels army and she didn't want to, it was Fluttershy for crying out loud! How much damage could the shy Pegasus do anyway?
Things just kept getting stranger and stranger as they went along and for whatever reason Twilight could not deny she was enjoying leading armies into battle, though she didn't think Celestia was a Tyrant this was all very strange in the fact that they were now invading other ponies territories and she didn't even know Fluttershy would get involved in all of this zany mess as well.

Twilights jaw dropped as half her forces were decimated by Fluttershy in one day, they pulled a bait and switch maneuver. She wasn't quite expecting the weakened unit to run into a fog and then meet headfirst with a fully healthy battalion of tanks waiting for her poor Recon unit, especially after all her other units were decimated that day. Now that she thought of it the days have been flying by ridiculously fast with each turn they take.
End of idea one.
Final Note: An Advance Wars parody would be hilarious if done right.
Author Note: The reason why I'm doing this is because I don't usually finish writing stories or write them well at all. Plus I'm usually busy with looking at and enjoying other peoples works, I should review more often and maybe drop less odd comments at Equestria Daily and be an entirely different more social creature, but then I just wouldn't be me skulking around in the shadows of other peoples works enjoying or disliking them at my leasure without giving feedback. I probably don't exist as far as anyone who is reading this knows. There's never a dull moment if their is an idea floating around inside my pupil that I know I'll never get to and thus this is to set aside those ideas that I probably won't touch on again.
An idea: Everything is possible and nothing is impossible. If nothing were possible, then nothing there would be. Nothing is what it what seems.
