Band of Five Attributes (Re-Written)

by Dragonborne Fox
Three adults, five teenagers. Both groups in different factions, with different goals. Then a strange creature decides it's a fine idea to screw everything up by placing them in new bodies and separating the whole lot of them. How will they fare

Contains slight spoilers in the comments. Avoid those until after reading the story, please. The original version can be found here.

One group--the Frontier Quartet-- trying to out-right kill or cripple the other group, only to be met with resistance. The other group, a simple band of five teenagers in a resistance called the Special Task Force (STF), doing their best to protect themselves and everyone else around them. During a battle of the aforementioned groups, a mysterious entity shows up and whisks the whole lot away into a world ruled by horse-like creatures born only in mythology.

When the two factions continue fighting amongst both themselves and each other, even in this pastel world, things escalate quickly. And when what dragged them here still affects them in ways they cannot begin to comprehend, they find themselves in a constant struggle for the upper hand that's going to end one way or another--even if it should very nearly kill them a few times over.

None knows what one faction is planning, though--nor the lengths they'll go to achieve the end of their secretive goals...

Collab with/proofread by this pony, and this one who jumped in at a later point in the story and gave advice. These two ponies are awesome.
