Alpha

2013-2025: The United States of America is plunged to a state of civil war between the expanded Federal Government and the American people who refuse to obey the dictatorial laws passed by Congress. Many military personnel by majority fight amongst the American people. After a long campaign, the Federal Government wins. The rebels scatter across the world due to fears of execution by the victorious Federal government.

Summer of 2025: Lebanon and Israel make peace and unite to form the Levantine Federation. They begin to annex the border regions of Syria, the West Bank, Gaza, and Mt. Sinai.  The Federation asserts dominance over the Middle East through a campaign of aerial bombings and economic sabotage across the region.

January of 2026:  A landmass appears in the Indian Ocean, this landmass is a country called Equestria. The leaders of the nation Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight explain the sudden arrival to the Earth. Their original world was going through a cataclysm and to save the nation they teleported to a new world to escape. Equestria is accepted into the world community. Peaceful relations begin.

Fall of 2027: An ultra-nationalist regime wins elections in China. In October of 2027, the People’s Republic of China invades Central Asia, North Korea, and Mongolia which is met with an aggressive response by Russia, the CIS, and NATO.  Equestria attempts to negotiate with the warring powers but no success.

Winter of 2027: The People’s Republic of China attempts an invasion of Equestria. The Alicorn Princesses decide to raise a barrier, to protect them from the world outside.  The Sino-CIS War ends with heavy casualties on both sides.

2032: Equestria’s Barrier banishes, many ponies begin to flock around the world. Some seeking to help out in the relief efforts, others seeking their fortunes.

Winter of 2032: The presence of ponies is not appreciated around many countries. Pogroms occur around every country. The display of violence causes the Princesses to again summon the barrier. A secret discussion between Celestia and Luna occurs on how to deal with the “human” problem.

Spring of 2033: The first Conversion Bureaus open in China and Central Asia. This is met with harsh resistance. Celestia decrees that her country is open to the Converted now deemed Newfoals to escape the “evils” of the human world. The nations of the world end all diplomatic and economic relations with Equestria. All ponies in human nations are deported, though some persist.

Summer of 2033: A terrorist attack in the US Mainland by the P.E.R sends the country into martial law. The borders are closed; all immigrants pony and human are expelled by the Administration with DHS enforcing the kick-outs. All US Conversion Bureaus are forcibly shut down, all assests owned by Equestrians are seized by the IRS.  By August of 2033, organized crime begins to run rampant across the world.  Equestria isolates itself, only opening its borders to the Newfoals…

Caribbean Sea

Gunfire erupted across the cruise ship as bullet casings were ejected out of the guns.  Men clad in assault gear moved in to secure the victims while others began to fight the security team, even though heavily armed they looked for a challenge.  From the helm, a voice reported that navigation was successfully disabled, along with all communications were shut down. The armed assailants began to lead their victims to the dance hall of the ship.

The security guards were scared, panicking about their current situations. The inaccurate sprays of automatic fire made them flinch, while their enemies laughed about it. One security guard popped out of cover. Two assault rifles were fired at him, the security man stumbled before hitting the floor.  One security guard screamed as he started to fire his pistol rapidly. An assailant pulled something out.  The blade was moved across all manners of direction. Blood gushed out violently, covering everything.  The last security guard began to run away.  The machete was violently hurled towards the fleeing man.

The blade terminated the man’s life quickly. The black-clad men continued to move, a bullet missed them. They returned fire at the attacker.

On the dance hall, the people were rounded up. Several of the men pointed their guns while one fired his gun at the roof. “Alright everyone! Don’t make us shoot you. Hand over everything you have; jewels, watches, money, anything of value.  Collaborate with us and we’ll make this quick.”

One of the assaulters looked at a particular guest. He pulled out his PDA, a bright light blinked several times. The screen showed the information.  A smile plastered on his hidden face. “Hey you guys! We got Princess Cadence here!”

The rest turned towards the pony princess along with her escorts.  The leader ordered wanted whatever the Princess brought with her.

“Up!” One of the men pointed the barrel of his assault rifle. “Don’t try anything unless you want a bullet in one of your legs.”  A vein throbbed in his forehead, seeing that the Princess was not complying. “UP!”

“Don’t you dare touch her!” Shining threatened as he got up. His horn gave a threatening glow.

Rifles cracked towards the Unicorn. Shining howled in pain as he hit the wooden floor.  Chunks of flesh were torn off followed by heavy bleeding.  The men lowered their weapons, they were impressed at the pony’s stamina. A pistol cracked nine times. The white unicorn could only feel the pain from the new shots.

“This happens when you play hero!” One of the gunmen yelled.  “Just cooperate with us and we’ll end this quick!”

Another of the gunmen looked at Cadence. “You want to live? Tell me you want to live and we’ll work it out.”

The light pink alicorn could only sob.

“I’ll take it as a yes.” He said as he got her up on her hooves. “Take us your cabin. Don’t try anything or your comrade gets it.”

Shining moaned in pain.

Cadence did as told.  She began to guide the armed men across the ship. She noticed the bodies of the human security guards. Even a few Guardsponies along with several Equestrian Foreign Legionnaires lay dead; the gryphons, the Diamond Dogs, and even the few Changelings laid there with holes on their body, their weapons and armor were not match for the weaponry of their enemies.  Upon reaching the suite door, the door was forcefully kicked. The men entered and began to take whatever object of value they deemed fit.

“Your cooperation is appreciated Pony princess.” The gunman raised his assault rifle and rammed the stock on the alicorn’s head, knocking her out.

One hour later, the robbery ended. Speedboats evacuated the gunmen before the Dutch Navy arrived.  The vessel was docked in Aruba to attend to the wounded.

Cadence refused to speak, but only drew what she deemed important when the authorities both human and Equestrian asked about the incident. She levitated the sheet of paper. The Equestrian Royal Guards looked confused while the humans were paralyzed with fear.

It was of a fox sitting, with five tails forming a flower of sorts.

“Kitsune Command…” An Aruba police officer whispered.

Somewhere in the US Virgin Islands

A White American hailing from Arizona pulled out a remote control. Pressing a button, the large bookshelf was moved to the side, revealing a steel door. Pressing another button, the door opened revealing a massive room with a large rectangular table. Several men and women were sitting, he entered.

“Sit down Maikong, we shall discuss your Equestria project later.” A Mexican-American wearing western wear said. The lower portion of his face was covered by a bandana of ornate rose patterns. On one arm, he held a domesticated silver fox while his free hand constantly stroked the vulpine, a testament of mankind’s domination and taming of the world. “We shall now proceed with the order of business of the day. Our financial and activities report shall begin.  Fennec, ladies shall go first.”

An Irani-American woman with green eyes and raven black hair opened a folder, pulled out what seemed a stapled document, she began to read.  “Our arms smuggling into the United States mainland has wielded a profit of 10 million dollars. Our sales to both criminal groups and civilians in the area contribute to our success. Our arms smuggling across Asia, Africa, and Europe wielded a profit of 5 million dollars this year.”

The Hispanic-American was pleased. “Swift.” He ordered.

The Cajun smiled. “The heist in Cameroon has led to an increase in the price of gold. We expect the value of our gold investments to go up by a 123.9% which of course, allows us to profit and invest the money into more of our ventures.”

“Chilla.” The Latino commanded as he stroked his pet vulpine.

A Japanese-American woman clapped once. “Taxation of Mexican and Colombian Drug Cartels to use our routes to reach Africa and Europe have given us about 7.3 million dollars. Taxation of European and CIS based arms dealers has generated a profit of 5.9 million dollars. We have also generated a sum of 3 million to train various associates from Italy to Japan in our tactics.”

The Hispanic-American smiled underneath his bandana, despite showing no emotion in his eyes. “That shall do for now. We will listen to Maikong’s Equestria Project. The most ambitious project that Kitsune Command has ever taken. You may begin Maikong.”

The white Arizonian got up from his seat. “Thank you Bakemono Kitsune.” With a press of a button from a remote control, a holographic projector arose. It lighted up, showing a hologram of the Earth. The man began to walk around the room. Pressing a button, the image zoomed in to Equestria and the Barrier.  “Our intention is to destroy the Barrier, as per my calculations and predictions; Celestia will expand the Barrier in attempt to destroy humanity and our markets.” He said with an ice on his voice. “To prevent the expansion of said obstacle, we shall kidnap Princess Celestia’s sister.”

The hologram changed to an image of Princess Luna.

“This ladies and gentlemen is Princess Luna.” Maikong continued to walk around. “She will be visiting Grand Turk Island next summer for a vacation. We will move in and capture her, then we shall make our demands. We have backings from the local Albanian Mafia and of course, Nikolaos Drakonakos. Ladies and gentlemen, this plan must not fail for it will be the only chance we can access the lucrative Equestrian market.”

“Then we shall make sure that the plan goes smoothly.” Bakemono Kitsune said with a vile tone. “I am sure that Celestia doesn’t want her sister’s blood spilled. It would be a shame if that happens.”
