Cutie Mark Crusaders Tales of Exports

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the official characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Lauren Faust is the person who created this generation of ponies. I also do not own anything that may emerge as crossover material. All I own are any original characters used as filler ponies. This is a collection story for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It is mainly CMC!Centric but may also feature other ponies from the show. It may also contain the occasional Pinkie Pie randomness.

Are Shadow Reapers the same as Hollows?

There was once a dark creature locked in the realm that is Tartarus. It is called in the books a Shadow Reaper. Thanks to Lyra and her human fascinations, the Cutie Mark Crusaders had caught interest in these paperback magazines that depict humans who fight dark creatures and govern life and death. So Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo were wearing all black clothes as shown in the magazines, but fitted for a pony's body rather than a human's. And now they were on the adventure to get their cutie marks, and also be heroes of Equestria by slaying the Shadow Reapers they now believed were the same as the black creatures in the magazine called Hollows.

How can a pony use swords when you got no hands, or opposable thumbs, you ask? Simple: Sweetie Belle had her magic so she was easily able to yield a sword (after they borrowed three from a weapons smith shop in Canterlot). The other two would have to use their mouths and keep a firm grip on the handles. But before they could traverse into Everfree Forest, they were caught by Rarity who was with Twilight over at Fluttershy's Cottage. They were grounded. But this wouldn't keep them from getting their cutie marks!

Lyra was told to hide her human obsession stuff from the fillies after a discussion from Twilight (with help from Bon Bon).

A bit of BLEACH and Lyra Heartstrings background cameo. Imagine the CMC were real ponified Shinigami...
