Brave New World
Introduction
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIn this version of Equestria the three pony races never got over their racism towards each other.
Pegasi do nothing to help anyone but themselves, the Unicorns think of themselves as a higher form of pony thus better than all but the princesses and finally the Earth ponies are far more technologically advanced than either Pegasi or Unicorn. However Unicorns are much more powerful and the Earth ponies know this so they avoid war; the Unicorns would easily exterminate the Earth ponies but they enjoy the technology they create so they are spared for the time being.
The princes of the sun and the princes of the moon haven’t lifted a finger in centuries, apart from raising the sun and moon every day. They still care for their subjects but they don't use traditional means to take care of them. They act like monarchs, superiors and they use the Royal Investigation Burrow to do their dirty work. Lets just say not all their methods are legal.
Cadence, after losing Shining Armour went to Pendleton Dreadful to bring him back. He came back as an evil lusty undead known as a Deadite and Pendleton was forced to kill him again. This drove Cadence mad with hate and depression, she is now known as the broken Princess.
As for the Elements of Harmony, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Flutershy and Pinkiepie? They don’t exist.
With nothing standing in her way Queen Chrysalis set up a hive closer to ponies and began setting up operations; at first in secret but now most everyone knows the changelings run things. The changelings quickly spread among pony kind become something resembling a crime family and a powerful one at that. If you need something done you go to them. From fake IDs, to drug dealing they control it all while feeding off of the emotion that their tasks give off.
This is where we meet Pendleton Dreadful. A chocolate brown stallion with an intense hatred for Unicorns and cursed by an evil book with great power over the undead and chaos. It isn't something you want to mess with. He’s engaged to be married to a beautiful Pegasus mare named Snow Storm. He is from a far from normal family, his mother being a unicorn and his father being the previous chosen one for the book. He hates his mother and his father gave up his life to the book so that Pendleton could have life as he was a still birth.
Snow Storm is from a different dimension. In her world Discord beat the Elements and took over. When he got bored he gathered a select few ponies and drained them of their colour and feeling. He gave them immortality so that they may document the changes he had made to the world. She is from a rich family and her siblings are rather snooty Pegasi.
Pendleton Dreadful met a young wolf girl by the name of Nayomi on one of his latest travels to her world. A world filled with hate lead by an immortal dictator and on the brink of social and political collapse. Pendleton allowed Nayomi to return to his world with him and stay there instead of that hell hole she called a home.
Now Nayomi is a beautiful black and white Earth pony mare and is invited to the wedding of Pendleton and Snow Storm which is in a few short weeks. She has enough bits to last her a few weeks after that she’ll go back to being a thief like she was on her world. From Pendleton’s hotel she trotted off to her new home in Winters End. A lovely little hotel with friendly Earth pony staff. The rooms were a little touch and go but she’d done worse.
"Man this place is a dump" She said pondering to herself. She set down her bag and started unpacking it. Her gold sword went on the table, her Glavek 19 pistols went in the draw and what other weapons she had brought with her went into hiding around the room. She walked around town for a bit to get to know the lay of the town and where the stores were. She stoped at a local watering hole and decided it was about time to drink away her sorrow again. She slipped in without drawing much attention to herself and sat at the bar.
"What'll it be?" the bar tender asked with a rough tired voice.
"Eh, scotch thanks" Nayomi sounded tired.
"You got it... So new around here? I haven't seen you around" The bar tender asked preparing her drink.
"Yeah, just got into town figured a drink was the best way to feel at home so here I am" Nayomi said sounding more depressed.
The bar tender stoped the conversation. He just gave her, her drink and left her with a warning "Stay away from the bugs" He sounded much more serious this time. She ignored him however and instantly went for her drink.
"Hey what's a pretty pony like you doing in a place like this?" A voice said from behind her.
"And why are you boring me with your flirting?" Nayomi snapped back.
"Hey! Don't use that tone with me bitch" He screamed in her ear.
Calling Nayomi a bitch was a fools mistake. What he did next was almost a death sentence. He grabbed her from behind quickly finding a hoof between his teeth; he tasted blood and couldn't feel his front teeth. She was fast, very fast. She removed her hoof and put one on the back of his head pulling it down onto the bar counter. A loud crack followed likely his muzzle or jaw but he was out cold. She finished her drink, paid and left like nothing had happened.
Upon returning to her hotel room she threw herself onto her bed and relaxed. It was a busy day and she was tired. She would sleep for now and hopefully wake up without a hang over so she could go make friends with somepony. A new concept to her. She also had to get her fake ID which she was lucky the bar tender didn't ask for. She could think of a million other things to do with her time but sleeping was the only thing on her mind right now.
