'''''Ace Combat: The Equestrian War''''' is a [[crossover]] fanfic that combines ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' with the ''[[Ace Combat]]'' series of video games. In this story, the griffins prepare an invasion on Equestria and a team of brave pegasus ponies (Firefly, Rainbow Dash, Lightning Bolt, Cloud Kicker, Fluttershy, Derpy and Medley), known as "Mirage" squadron, is attempting to protect their land and mount a comeback. While not a direct adaptation of any Ace Combat game, the fanfic uses a lot of references to the [[PlayStation 2]] titles ([[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies
The story is complete with 20 chapters and an epilogue. [[Loads and Loads of Characters|Character sheet]] can be found [[Ace Combat: The Equestrian War/Characters|here.]]
Line 79:
* [[Evil Plan]]: {{spoiler|Red Cyclone}} has one... and it involves a [[Final Solution]].
* [[Expy]]: Several.
** Echo to [[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies|Yellow 13]].
** Tornado Swirl to [[Ace Combat: Assault Horizon|Guts aka Warwolf 2]].
** {{spoiler|[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation|Shamrock]]}} is loosely based on his his original portrayal, with a slightly different [[Dead Little Sister|backstory]].
** Gale is a combination of two operators: one heard in [[Ace Combat Zero]]'s briefings, and [[Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception|Crux]].
*** Then there's {{spoiler|[[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies|Sky Eye]]}}.
** {{spoiler|Gilda}} seems to be sharing a thing or two with {{spoiler|[[Ace Combat Zero|"Solo Wing" Pixy]]}}.
** There are two locations from [[Ace Combat]] universe that are mentioned in chapter 14: Emareia (Emmeria) and Urusea (Erusia).
Line 146:
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: [[Defied Trope|Defied]] with the rookie griffon Slip: he ''almost'' deserts, but decides to keep fighting because he knows he'll be executed for deserting. Not to say he's really ''brave'', though, or a good fighter, as he's killed in battle with [[Epic Fail|very little effort.]] {{spoiler|Night Raven}} [[Unfriendly Fire|did him in]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: Numerous shout outs to Ace Combat series. Justified, considering it's a crossover. They include, but are not limited to:
** {{spoiler|The Burning Talon}} is a combination of Excalibur from [[Ace Combat Zero]] and Stonehenge from [[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies]].
** {{spoiler|Mobius to Mobius 1, the player character from [[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies]]}}. [[Call Back|He even uses the same callsign.]] There are also {{spoiler|Talisman}} and {{spoiler|Shamrock}}, the two leading protagonists of {{spoiler|[[Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation]]}}. Finally, {{spoiler|Sky Eye}}. The two latter characters even mention (though it is not explicitly stated) the respective wars they took part in - {{spoiler|Usean Continental War and [[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War|Operation "Katina"]] (Mobius, Sky Eye)}} as well as {{spoiler|Anean Continental War (Shamrock and Talisman)}}.
** Also, the EAF logo is modeled after the [[Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies|ISAF logo]].
** At the end of chapter 9, the ponies sing {{spoiler|"Gotta Stay Fly" from [[Ace Combat: Assault Horizon]] }}, though with slightly altered lyrics.
** The Gult squadron ("Yellow" in Romanian). For that matter, majority of squadrons names are derived from different Ace Combat games.
