It was the earth year 2014 and the universe seemed to be holding its breath, the revelation that the Vorsoth was responsible for what had befallen Earth and that it was a precursor to something truly terrible.
The galactic powers were unsure of what to do about this, some like the Jaffa scoured the more isolated systems of the galexy for any sign of the Vorsoth, the Tok'ra had their agents searching for an effective means to fight the coming enemy, the Asguard/Replicators readyed themselves for conflict and the Tua'ri along with the Equestrians continued to look for a cure for earth with the two princess sisters of Equestria and Major Santiago leading the way while watching for signs of the Vorsoth.
By the end of december 2014 the pieces were all in place for a confrontation that would change the Galexy for a long time to come.
The year of 2015 would be a year of strife... a year of change... a year of pain... it would be the year everything changed.

[And So It Begins]
A green encounter suited figure looked out into the beautiful world beyond it's window, it's single eye a glistening white and blue.
It turned to it's companion a black hexapod creature who nodded with it's glowing eyes.
[As It Always Does]
The green figure looked up at the endless stars [Will it be enough?]
The Shadowy figure joined it's companion while staring up unblinking.
[We Have Done All We Can] it gestured with a claw to the Stars [It Is All Up To Them Now]
The Shadow and the Light looked up at the stars.
[When Do We Tell Them?] The shadow asked.
[When the time is right...] the light replied.

"Twilight?"

"yes Spike?"

"What do you think did this?" the small dragon asked.

"I don't know Spike..." The young princess whispered as she looked upon a scene of carnage "But I fear to find out"

Before the two burned the once metropolis of Manehatten, now nothing more then a pile of rubble and broken dreams.

It had happened the previous night while everyone slept, the Earth ship Daedalus had been in orbit at the time picking up supply's for Earth, a unknown ship had appeared out of nowhere and rained down fire upon the helpless city, by the time the Daedalus had been able to drive away the ship the death count had been too high.

"H-How many?" Twilight asked trying to keep up a calm demeanour, her assistant unrolled a parchment that he received by dragon fire and slowly told her "Last count puts it up to 30'000"

"And what about the gate?" Twilight asked "Has Candace been able to get word to Earth?"

Spike shook his head "The Stargate won't connect to anywhere, Colonel Caldwell says that he could take the Daedalus and tell the other princesses himself but he's worried about leaving the planet unprotected"

Twilight nodded and continued to stare out over the devastation"Any word from the changelings?" Twilight had been in negotiations with Queen Chrysalis and her fellow queen Changelings when word had come in, it was only thanks to their hives that the death toll hadn't been too high.

"Chrysalis says Equestria has her and her fellow queens support"

"Then send Caldwell a letter and tell him to get to the nearest Ta'rui base and get help" the alicorn looked down to see a two changelings carrying a injured pony on a stretcher "because I think this is only the beginning"

The baby dragon hopped off Twilight's back to get some paper and leaving the solitary princess alone, as she stared into the dying embers she unconsciously brough her hoof up to the silver chained necklace that hung from her neck.

Held by the silver chain was a red and black gem the shape of a rose "I just hope it get better before it gets worse"

Author's Note

I know that when I started this story it was going to be a left 4 dead crossover, but as you can see it has become something entirely different.
I still hope you enjoy it and leave a comment on what you think.
