Prologue (WIP)

Warning Contains Spoilers Of Fallout Equestria

In The Days before the War, all was peaceful, city's prospered and ponykind thrived. Alas it was not to be, despite this wealth and prosperity some ponies, ponies with corrupted hearts and minds craved more even at the cost of others. The revolution had begun, mass production started to take priority along with profit margins, slowly manual labour was mechanized causing workers to lose their jobs, this created unrest and migrations from rural to urban for the lust for wealthy jobs. Urbanisation had begun at last

Leading up to the fall, newly established corporations started to do the unthinkable, done in secret slave labour was on the rise even though this was banned throughout Equestria. A single pony could be prosecuted however a entire organisation could hide this within the shelter of its own propriety. Even if this was discovered by the authority the slave trade still boomed on the black market, this led to tensions growing between all races within Equestria and many threats and disputed arising. Finally 40 years after the revolution began Equestria was plunged into war, it started off from rationing of exotic material that was unique in certain parts of Equestria such as coal a valuable fuel source for many civilised cultures.

The war began with ponies against zebra's, then slowly dragons and buffalo joined the zebras while griffins joined the ponies. To start with many claimed the war was just, however as the years passed the feud and fighting intensified and the original trigger was forgotten in the hatred it brew, with the development of new weapons and technology's that could give the other side the upper hand. Celestia granted each of the mane 6 their own ministry where they could fuel the war effort in their own unique way. Twilight's ministry focused on magic and technological advances. Rarity's was similar however she made armour and in secret necromancy with the black book stolen from the ancient zebra race. Fluttershy's ministry tried to make peace with the zebras and she invented the heal-spell which brought things back to life which she hoped would end the war, to her horror they were changed into mega-spells which caused only destruction. Rainbow's ministry made several occasional contributions however it was closed after failing to produce anything for over a number of years. Apple jack's ministry made ammunitions along with help with other ministry's created the Steel Ranger's a elite force of earth ponies. Pinkie's ministry was to raise moral among the troops along with arranging parties to lift every pony's spirits.

The fall came when both sides launched their full arsenal of mega spells against each other, many millions were killed in the initial blast and countless others died from the radiation however several survived but were cursed with eternal life from the magic and radiation from the mega spells. Celestia and Luna died protecting Canterlot with their shield since they were poisoned by a zebra invention called taint.

Among this many strange mutated creatures evolved causing havoc among the survivors, one of these was a blue Mare called Rhythm, she was a lucky survivor who was not killed, unluckily she never got to the stable she was heading to the cloud overtook her, however she was lucky enough to have been picked for Princess Celestia's Gifted Schools For Unicorns and had learned how to place wards and a shield spell which delayed the Radiation from getting to her even though it didn't stop it completely.

Stable 1: Before Your Time

Location: Park Gardens, Ministry Row, Canterlot

Stable Number: 1

A Hour Before The Fall

Rhythm the blue unicorn sat on the park bench looking at Canterlot castle nearby, she sighed flicking her tail "choices choices" she mumbled to herself, she was now officially a Mare only yesterday she was a Filly however now she had a choice to make for the rest of her life. She had been schooled at Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns and before that well she didn't really remember before that. Rhythm flicked her blue mane nibbling on the end of the pencil, she was fond of nibbling things and was often scolded by her mother for it. In-front of her was a list of career options. She glanced around the park slightly annoyed by the war propaganda that was pined on every tree, bin and wherever it could go. It didn't help that she had lost her father in the war when his own magic backfired causing his own demise instead of the Zebra he had tried to kill. Rhythm glanced at the page again, either join the army or help with the war effort, she looked at the moral officer thinking that could be rather fun however she was still undecided and she did have until her next lesson to decide.She tucked the several folds of paper into her blue saddlebag and started to walk back towards the University which was a good kilometre away however she always liked a good walk.

Rhythm spent most of her breaks visiting this park, her normal group of friends had already gone and joined the army as soon as they got their graduation list the previous week. Suddenly from a nearby street a voice called out "hey little me with flank of the blank". Rhythm turned her head and saw her cousin Noteworthy giving him a scowl, her coat and mane was the same colour as his however her amber eyes were slightly different and he was a good foot larger but that was not the reason for the scowl. She was the only mare at her school not to have her cutiemark, she normally covered her flank with darker colours to hide her blank flank. "what?" she asked frowning at him.

Noteworthy tilted his head "now now, i'm only teasing little blank" he answered using one of his many nicknames for her, "I've got a message, after you finish whatever you special Unicorn's do at your school your going to have to come back to Ministry Row" he informed her. Rhythm twitched her ear "special event?, Ministry Row?" she asked curious. Noteworthy smiled "oh no, little flank you can't trick me into telling you, anyway you've been to Ministry Row before when they opened up that stable down the end" he summarised flicking his blue tail "you know where it is right?" he asked when he was told where it was in the monotone evacuation plan that Rhythm had heard earlier that day he sniggered "i forgot you get that every day, well see you later little flank some of us have actual work we have to do"  he finished before turning around and trotting away down a high-street towards the centre of Canterlot.

The Fall

Rhythm continued down the track, it was convenient that her University was on Ministry Row but then again most important things were. It was that big. Canterlot castle was in the distance and Rhythm continued looking at it while walking, she wondered what it would be like to live in it, the golden roof with the big glass windows then she tripped on a discarded bottle and hit the ground sending starts dance over her vision as her sensitive horn struck the ground. Rhythm stood up awkwardly before glancing at her dress, luckily she had not torn its white fabric but it had grey spots on where she had rubbed it against the diry road. Rhythm's horn glowed and the spots were gone, she levitated the bottle she had tripped over and threw it across the road shattering it into thousands of pieces making her feel better. Then it came Boom.
