A time for action

Sprinkles journal February 11, 2012 these times are changing I slept all day woke up around the day break the sun baking Equestria like overcooked cookies soon it will be dark. Beneath my hooves this city screams like a Fluttershy when facing a mirror I wish she was still deadwood but these times are changing. Ahh Canterlot. Two days ago a joker died didn’t exactly hit the punchline either all I know is somepony knows why down there somepony knows. The dusk reeks of fancy foods and hatred how I miss Ponyville . I believe I shall take my exercise….the bakery.

Sprinkles journal February 13, 2012 on the ninth of February a joker died no matter how bad the joke was though I laughed. Somepony through her out a window and when she hit the ground her broken wings were driven into her obnoxious face. Nopony cares, nopony cares but me. Are they right is it futile a war is going to start and what’s another pony among foundations. They will all burn. So much to do so little time. I here Celestia is coming to Ponyville and I believe I have a rifle behind that old party cannon the time for action has come.

Silence of the lambs

Silence of the lambs

Sprinkles journal February 15, 2012 In order to secure harmony loose ends needed to be cut Celestia was growing weak and unfit war was inevitable and if she could not accept that then she was more of a liability than an asset. At six o’clock a princess died. And somepony knows who did it somepony beneath my hooves knows. Screams echoed throughout Ponyville but nopony could save her, she was gone like the rest of us. What’s another life among many, another body among foundations. That only left one pony left to eliminate Luna no doubt that she would see to the thrown as the next leader. I will see to my rifle that she does not and so February 16, 2012 an echo was heard all the birds stopped chirping and silence was followed. I must assemble the watchponies or whatever remains of them.

The end of the beginning

The end of the beginning

Revolution brewed in the streets of Equestria ponies killing each other for what harmony know that’s a conundrum Sprinkles and her fellow watchponies rode to wardens keep were we would find nightmare moon. The moon was a blinding blood red. It snowed fiercely and the world itself became frostbitten. Welcome home watchponies this is your tomb this is your crypt.

I rode to wardens keep and when I landed I instantly recognized the intense cold of the landscape it was breathtaking and so did my fellow sisters. War was being fought in equestria a war between ponies up that ridge would become a war between so called heroes when in truth there are no villains everyone is the hero of their own story. Deadwood could not make it she ran into a bit of a predicament or so I thought. We galloped up the ridge into the wardens keep castle a wondrous site it was. But it was not far longer until we saw nightmare moon. As stunning as she was, she was evil she clopped towards us and so this is where it ends watchponies not quite I said simply the end of another beginning. You will not stop me said nightmare moon you are too late. She is stalling said Relic. Nightmare moon glared at her as then Appleseed bucked her in the jaw knocking her off her hoofs no that’s getting her done she exclaimed not noticing nightmare moons body had disappeared. We decided to waste no time I ran to the control panel when suddenly out of the shadows she appeared and knocked me into a wall everything went blur. Gemstone jumped for the controls to the warheads as Appleseed engaged nightmare moon. Nightmare moon slashed her fiercely and she fell to the floor bleeding out. Gemstone was not paying attention and still at the controls when nightmare moon bashed her head against a nearby screen she was out cold. I mustered the strength to get up and engage nightmare moon.  No matter how much I tried to defend myself I was hit multiple times slowly bleeding from my face I took ten blows and then I realized this is where it all ends she grabbed me by the neck and crushed it slowly my life began to fade, when I heard a loud noise and series of low Concussions nightmare moon had fell to the floor dead. I fell to the floor gasping for air and the first thing that came into my vision was Deadwood crying she had killed the first time in her entire life to preserve harmony. Without a minute to breath once more I dashed to the control panel and disabled the warheads Equestria had been saved but at what cost. We tended to Apple seed and Gemstone were Relic though no to waste I had to go down to the ponies of equestria the ponies must know the ponies must be told. I trotted outside to see Relic gazing into god knows what OUT OF MY WAY! I exclaimed. Ponies have to be told. You know I can’t let you do that Relic said softly. Fluttershy was watching from the wardens keep entrance. SUDDENLY YOU DISCOVER PONIES YOU DISCOVER LIFE! I said convenient. If you cared from the start if anypony had cared from the start none of this would have happened. I can change almost anything said Relic but I can’t change pony nature. Of course what’s one more body among foundations I said well what are you waiting for…do it…….DO IT! I yelled Relic simply waved her hoof and Sprinkles had been banished to a dark oblivion. Fluttershy could be seen and heard collapsing to the ground crying aimlessly. Harmony had been restored but at what cost. Twilight soon became the new princess and times of harmony were restored again but occasionally she reads Sprinkles journal never able to let go of the past and so this is the end of the beginning.

The beginning of the end

Sprinkles journal February 9, 2012 cupcake splattered in the alley this morning hoof mark on a busted center of yogurty goodness this city is afraid of me I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and they are full of frosting and when the drains finally scab over all the vermin will drown in a mixture so damn delicious. The accumulated filth of all there lack of morals and daily lessons of friendship will foam up about their wastes and all the mares and stallions will look up and shout save us! And I will look down and whisper Neigh. they had a choice all of them they could have followed in the footsteps of good ponies like my father or princess celesta. Decent ponies who believed in a day’s work for a day’s pay a little like Appleseed. Instead they followed the leftover cupcake wrappers of nightmare moon and other banished ponies and did not realize that the trail led over a pit of icy death the good kind the tasty kind but don't let it fool you. Don’t tell me they did not have a choice. Now the whole world of Equestria stands on the brink of chaos staring down into a pile of sprinkles all those rich people and smooth talkers in Canterlot, and all of a sudden no pony has anything to say.

Old friends new problems

Old friends new problems

A joker was killed tonight Sprinkles solemnly said fiercely pounding down cider oh…no replied Fluttershy  who would such a thing I am not sure said sprinkles someone though was obviously out to get him threw him clear out a window. I heard he had been working for the royal guard replied fluttershy maybe it was a political killing. Sprinkles slammed the cider down maybe someone’s picking off costumed heroes! The others think there’s going to be a rainbow war said fluttershy crazy if you ask me to use something as powerful as a sonic rain bomb. What if that’s why someone wants us out of the way SO WE CANT DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT! said sprinkles Fluttershy became scared now cowering. Though an attack on one was an attack on all of us. Fluttershy still cowering says out of the darkness the watchponies are over sprinkles what do you suggest we do about it. RETROBUTION! Exclaimed sprinkles. I don’t think so said Fluttershy I would much rather this be handled by the royal guard. DAMNIT Fluttershy who have you become. Fluttershy somewhat yelling for the first time why would I save a world I no longer have any stake in. DO IT FOR HARMONY! Fluttershy scared and helpless knew that no matter how hard it was to accept it was the truth. Sprinkles began to make her way out we used to be able to do anything she whispered out of the darkness. Fluttershy worked up the courage to reply yea those were the days whatever happened to them. Sprinkles replied you quit galloping away.

The funeral of a joker

Very few of the watchponies remained the joker had been killed and rest just seemed to have faded into time. It had been a while since I visited Relic no doubt in her studies. I wonder if she even knew about Celeestia and Luna I would soon, perhaps too soon. As I knew she had been tending to her studies in the royal library after the watchponies departed she moved on to working on tending to the aid of the people. As I crept up behind her I could hear her say what are you doing here Pinkie pie. You know me well enough to expose me its SPRINKLES! I exclaimed. Whatever you say, why are you here anyway you know I quit, we quit twilight said. I never gave up unlike some ponies, these are dangerous times and whether or not you have no choice but to assist in its safekeeping or have you forgotten about that, that and harmony I said. WHAT ARE WE EVEN FIGHTING AGAINST exclaimed twilight. We are on the brink of war twilight every pony every animal will die they have warheads sonic rain bombs and by god there not afraid to use them I said. And so it is sprinkles huh a pair of princesses die and were left to fight nightmare moon and her army and her warheads. Celestia would have never gone to war neither Luna their peace would have ultimately brought death and despair I said. There was silence.  A joker died not too long ago I said. So I hear but I guess were all dead ponies walking. I don’t trust you sprinkles but I have no choice do I, I will do it

Sprinkles journal February 20, 2012 twilight was not easy to persuade and none the less were the others today was the jokers funeral I thinks it’s safe to call her dash now everyone showed with their emotions their sorrow accept Fluttershy I had learned she had attempted suicide and is now in a mental hospital god help her. At the funeral there were no laughs and there were no delicious sweets I guess we all begin and end here one bone one part at a time and while she was dropped into her shallow grave we were left to boast hooves on the ground while she was fertilizing daisies. The rest of the group had agreed at that funeral to unite as one, one last time to restore harmony. Or little left of it there was and so five ponies had declared war on the world on injustice. We became a smoldering candle trapped, engulfed in compete darkness.
