As this is happening Princess Luna is having unicorns and Earth Ponies rapidly fabricate a research and testing building for all new war technologies to be developed in.
the first weapons produced were swords and bows. then they made a pistol and thats when they started producing guns.
As these new buildings were being built a small area was set up to train regular ponies to become part of the NEA. a black stallion walked back and forth in front of a group of young mares and stallions, he looked at each one but he stared at a little dark blue mare and yelled “what makes you think you can be in the NEA?!” he shouted as he got right in her face. she tried to stand still as she replied
“because i can fire a sniper rifle. sir!” thunder trot looked at her skeptically
“you?” he said with a chuckle “you think you can fire a sniper rifle? this fine piece of machinery?” he said as he pointed at the gun
“yes sir i do” she said with a smile. he looked over at her
“what are you smiling about?! you are not allowed to smile here!” he said as he stepped on her hoof hard. nightingale whimpered “if you think you can shoot this gun, go right ahead!”he said. she looked over at the gun then at thunder trot, she then went over to the gun and levitated it over to the firing range.
“who will spot for her?” he yelled looking at the line of ponies staring at him, a white pegasus walked out of formation and said
“i will” he picked up a pair of binoculars and walked over to nightingale. “hi my name is crashie” he said
“i'm nightingale” she said as she got down on the ground and positioned the rifle.
“are you going to shoot or what?” thunder trot yelled.
nightingale lined up the shot then *BANG* nothing happened then crashie said
“did you account for the wind? you're shot was off to the right” nightingale looked up then back down into the scope *BANG* something exploded about 300 yards in front of her. nightingale stood up and got back into formation with the rest of the group as they stared at the 13 year old mare. nightingale smiled arrogantly.
“good, we have a pony who can actually shoot something! 10 Miles! now!” thunder trot shouted. all the recruits galloped for 10 miles then stopped, and fell down huffing and puffing they all looked at nightingale with nasty stares and ugly glares.
later that day in the bunker a group of 5 ponies walked over to her and made her back up into a corner.
“um hi” she said nervously as she looked at their expressions. they looked really mad and some looked down right evil!
“hello” one of them said “it was so nice of you to make us run 10 miles today” she spat
“i um-” nightingale tried to say something but she was interrupted
“yeah we really needed that grueling workout” another one said “yeah oh and you just haadd to show how much better than us you think you are! well its all lies!” a mare said before using magic to levitate her up then drop her to the ground. before nightingale could stand up the 5 ponies were punching and stepping on her. nightingale screamed as she felt her hind leg snap, she started to cry as they kept pounding their hooves against her tiny fragile body.
Suddenly, a pocket knife darted into the crowded corner. A colt's voice echoed across the bunker. "Hey!" Crashie exclaimed as he walked a little closer. The corner of ponies grew silent as the 5 bullys looked over at crashie.
"Ha! You 5 never learn do you?" The white Pegasus announced. "Always picking on the fillies, My oh my." He walked closer into Nightingale's view, she soon noticed that this was the buck that spotted for her earlier that day. she didn’t know who he was but he looked to have a higher rank than her.
The 5 ponies stormed Crashie. "What? You think you're some sort of hot shot just cause you're now a Private First Class?" The mare said, she snorted. "You ain't got nothin' on us, you hear me!? Nothing!"
They attempted to schedule the same treatment Nightingale had, yet it backfired; Crashie performs a double backflip out of their circle. He gives a quick smirk. "You sure you wanna go that far?" His voice deepened with dramatic effect.
Before any of them could answer, Crashie takes a swing at the ringleader: Bon Bon.
Just then, there was an all-out war by itself!
Nightingale tried to back away from the fight so she didn’t get hit but then she thought about the odds. “5 ponies against 1 pony” she mumbled before she tried to stand up using magic to stabilize her hind leg that was broken. she got right behind the stallion in the group, turned around and kicked right in between his legs. the stallion shrieked like a little filly as he fell to the floor holding his crotch. “that takes care of one” nightingale said to herself. she quickly backed up as one of the mares turned towards her after seeing the stallion fall to the ground. it was a pegasus, and that pegasus didn’t mess around. she caught up to nightingale and slammed her hoof on the fillies chest. there was a crack and nightingale struggled a little when she tried to breath.
nightingale whimpered as the mare turned around because she knew what was next. the pegasus mare bucked nightingale, nightingale hit the wall behind her and slumped to the ground as she yelped in pain. she began to cry again as she laid helplessly on the floor when she heard a loud voice.
“what in equestria is going on here!?” everyone stopped fighting and looked at the door, it was thunder trot. “i said, what is going on here?! answer me!”
“these 5 ponies were beating up, umm i think her name is nightingale and i tried to stop them sir” crashie points over to the little dark blue mare who is laying on the floor. then he noticed her breathing and rushed over to the poor mare. “wait are you ok?” he said before putting his ear next to her chest so he could hear her breathing. nightingale groaned in pain as he put pressure on her chest, he quickly backed up and said “she needs medical attention! fast!”
“I can get some pony to bring her to the medical center. now as for you 5” he said as he thought about the punishment “why were you beating her up?”
“because she made us run 10 miles with her arrogance sir!” the unicorn mare said
“and that is why you beat her up?”
“yes sir”
“then you will run another 10 miles. and maybe this time you won’t beat up the pony who made you run it!” he ordered. the 5 quickly ran out of the building and started the 10 miles. thunder trot went to go get some pony to take nightingale to the medical center. he soon came back with a unicorn mare that was turquoise with a purple and white mane. “take her to the medical center diamond mint” she nodded and quickly levitated nightingale and galloped towards the medical center.
A lot has changed in the once plentiful land of Equestria; disaster struck. News was spread far and wide about the Princess’ disastrous discovery, it struck fear and terror into every pony’s heart.
On that day, the princess’ had been informed that Queen Chrysalis Was rising from from the shadows to once again grasp equestria and all its love in her hooves. To become queen just as she had attempted once before.
Princess Celestia ordered that Shining Armor be in charge of bringing additional protection to every town. His Wife, Princess Cadence, was sent with him so the she could lift the spirits of the ponies in each town. So if needed they would be in proper condition to be drafted into the New Equestrian Army.
Princess Celestia also decreed that weapons would be created by the finest crafts ponies, And Designed by the most intuitive. For the dawn of a new age was just about to begin. A time of war, pain,suffering and death. A time that would be difficult to get through alone, Everypony will need Friends, The Magic of Friendship and a good 9mm to help everyone who decides to survive the bloody war. This new age will spawn darkness, fear and destruction, It will test the Bonds of friendships, pulling them to the breaking point and beyond. No pony could ever know what this war would do to their once beautiful Equestria.
No longer were there separate kingdoms, but one form of a strong Equestrian government.Where ponies, Zebras, Gryphons and dragons would join forces to destroy this evil, once and for all.
