Pony's Creed, Rainbow Revolution

   Quick Silver wasn't a lucky pony. Despite his best efforts he would always fail his training mission and never got on with anyone other than his brother, Axel. Because of his trait of independence Sheared Brass or the grand assassin as know to most took him under his wing to teach him. 3 years into Quick's training a message was intercepted from Equestria. It was sent to the government of Codex.

   Quick awoke. His brother had been yelling for him to get up for the past 20 minutes and it was starting to annoy him.

   "What?" Quick said sleepily, "Were not meant to see Sheared until sundown".

   "Then it seems we need to be there now!"

   Quick got off his bed and walked over towards the window. The sun was only just above the snowy horizon and the sky was already dark orange.

   "Get you uniform on and meet me at the Minor Hall" said Axel as he walked out the door.

   Quick got dressed quickly and rushed out of the room, he knew his master didn't like to be kept waiting and he was eager himself to hear what he had to say. Probably another training mission he thought.

   Quick ran out the doors of his dorm building and made his way to the Minor hall which was only some few 100 meters away. The icy air stabbed him through his fur and even his uniform wasn't doing much to protect him from the cold weather. Still, he couldn't really complain, some of the other ponies in his dorm had to get up 2 hours before sunrise and run laps around the Assassin's Complex.

   He entered the Minor hall and spotted Axel waiting outside a oak framed door with a small window. They could hear voices from inside. Suddenly the door swung open smashing Axel into the face and 3 ponies came walking out angrily.

   "Hey watch it!" shouted Quick.

    The ponies turned round towards Quick.

   "Shut the fuck up you prick" said the one that had smashed open the door.

   The pony to his right side barged Quick into the wall and they all laughed. Another pulled Quick's hood over his head and tripped him up. The last pony was about to drag him outside until Axel got up laid a punch on him. The pony fell to the ground, the pony to Axel's right grabbed him and the remaining pony got up from Quick and walked over to Axel. Just then a figure emerged from the door and looked over the scene. The three ponies ran out the door leaving Axel with a broken and bloody nose and Quick with the torn hood of his uniform.

   "I'll punish them later"

   He threw a small white towel to Axel and invited them into his office.

   Quick nodded a sign of gratitude towards Axel and they both walked in...

   "I presume you've heard of Equestria?" said Sheared as he took a seat behind his desk.

   Quick and Axel both nodded unsurely, Axel had started dabbling his nose with the towel, it didn't seem to be stopping the bleeding.

   "What about the revolution that took place there?"

    Axel nodded again but Quick blinked and showed no sign of understanding. Sheared looked in Quick's direction and then turned back to Axel

   "Axel would you kindly inform your brother of the events that have occurred there in the past few years?"

   "The errr, Rainbow revolution. It took place about 2 or 3 years ago. This res-"

   "Do you know why it happened Axel?" Sheared quickly interrupted

   "No, we errr, weren't told"

   "About 10 years ago we sent a pony to assassinate a traitor of the order. He was going to tell the Equestrian government about our plans for missions that will take place in the next 5 years in Equestria. We dont know why most likely a bribe or something of that nature. The target was killed but sadly our assassin was captured and killed. The assassin's only son abandoned the order to make an attempt to kill the Equestrian captain of the royal guards".

   "Thats a mouthful" Quick interrupted whilst yawning.

   Sheared rolled his eyes and continued. "The young assassin had had 8 years of elite training and had vital information on our forces, if he had been captured and tortured who knows what could have happened. Anyway, from what we heard he managed to get into the Royal Castle in Canterlot but instead of killing the Head of the royal guards he killed Equestria's grand traider. Yet again we have no idea why he was in Equestria at the time. He was the leading trader of medicinal ingredients and thousands died in that year's winter due to fever. The pony was captured, the Equestrian government thought he was Equestrian and executed him. But due to the amount of deaths it was declared that all ponies that were not Royalty or part of the elements of harmony-"

   "Elements of harmony?" Quick said unsurly.

   "Quick you really need to do you research on these things, they're important" Sheared said sternly.

   "Anyway where was I? Yes, so to add on to the mess The Captain Of the Royal Guards was imprisoned in his own private dungeon and the rest of the un coloured population were from there on out know as outcasts. They weren't allowed jobs, public privileges or private properties".

   "I know the rest" said Axel, "but the princesses wouldn't do something like that!"

   "Yes your correct, have you heard of a magic transfer".

   Both Axel and Quick shook their heads.

   "Quick I wouldn't expect you to know, just being that your a pegasus and that, but you Axel, i've had thought youd know a bit on the topic".

   Axel looked up at his horn in slight shame being that he usually knew all the facts their were to know in conversation like these. Whilst quick looked at his wings as if he'd never seen them before".

   "The princess gave three quarters of their overall power to one pony, don't ask me I have no idea what they must have been thinking but none the less it was done, once they transferred it there was no getting it back. They pony with the power declared himself as 'The Colonel' and since then has lead Equestria into misery, Axel would you like to finish?"

   "The Rainbow Revolution took place but being heavily outnumbered non coloured were defeated with a great number in casualties.

Even less privileges were given to non coloured and eventually slavery took place... since then its kinda been the sa-"

   "Why do you want to talk to us?" Quick said out of nowhere

   "I need you both, we got hold of a distress message that was to be sent to the Codex government. We figured they would just move their troops and capture Equestria whilst its in this state of uncertainty. The message described what was going on there. Bodies on the streets, so much injustice. I need both of yous to kill some of the head politics over there. Thats all, just a few assassinations and your done".

   "This seems to be a bit more important than you making it out to be, we've only had like 2 years training an-"

   "2 years private training is the equivalent to 5 years normal training, that plus you've been training with me, that totals to about 8 years public training... yous are both ready to do this..."

   Quick had lost his attempt to argue back and Axel had gone a pale white colour.

   "Follow me" said Sheared as he got up from his chair and walked out the door.
