War... War never changes...

Rising tension between the Ponies and Zebras created an all-out war that ravaged the land of Equestria. It was then that six ministries were created by Princess Luna to govern the lands.

Another, medical technology. And another one, weapons.

Each ministry was directly integrated with everyday Equestrian Life... all but one.

The Ministry of Awesome. Many wondered as to what the ministry was involved in. Many saw the ministry as a joke.

In fact, anything about the Ministry of Awesome was labeled strictly CLASSIFIED. The Princesses themselves did not know about the Ministry of Awesome.

This story, as told by one of their former members, is the story of how the ShadowBolts rose to power, how they worked, and how in the end, they fell...
