Code 5: A New Nation

Chapter 1: Enemies Arising

It was many years earlier when Equestria had fallen into chaos with the call of Code 5. A new governmental force had been founded with one purpose; ending Code 5. It was the first of its kind, and like many firsts, there were flaws. One flaw had led to its downfall. The center of command was a single large base in the city of Canterlot, without any backup locations or command centers if the base succumbed to destruction. The flaw came into play when a massive horde attacked it full force. The last form of government in Equestria went down without a fight after the loss of the base. One would think that all horror would unleash with the loss of law and control, but after the passing of time, quite the contrary occurred. Everything became…quiet. Anyone could take a stroll, and they would find that there were no moans, there were no limping, decaying bodies following them, seeking a bite from the individual. It was peaceful, but how? To answer this, think about the recent past. With a good side, there is a bad side. With the ZPTF, there were raiders, bandits. With the crippling of ZPTF, these raiders and bandits made their blow. Invading the other bases and stealing whatever they needed.

They soon became the ruling force of Equestria, and they worked quickly with the undead compared to the ZPTF. Within a short time, they had eradicated the undead. So you could say, are they really the bad side? Sadly, the answer is yes. Although they made a great contribution of eliminating an enemy of humanity, they were still the bad side. In the eastern areas of Equestria was a tyrannical kingdom, the only way to have any bit of freedom was to be in their army. And the purpose of their army mainly consisted of small campaigns to other regions of Equestria, exacting control over the populations west of their territory, but only for a short time before returning to the east. They were a bully, mistreating those populations every so often with their campaigns. If one has knowledge of history, they know what happens next; resistance, retaliation, opposition against those who they proclaim as enemies. This was done on numerous occasions, but all were failures to the end. Some failed at the first fight, others may have victory, but the soldiers would come back with stronger force, and then that resistance would fail.

Some would be hopeless at that point, give up, and succumb to what they saw as an unbeatable opponent. But then there are others, who stay strong. Those people took the time to sit down and just think, unlike before where others had taken immediate action. These patient minds figured out that their tactics should take on the likeness of the advice a parent would give to a child about their allowance. Don’t use it the first chance you get, save it for another day. And that’s what these people decided to do. Don’t attack with what you have at the first moment, but take patience, and allow your resources to add up, to use it to a bigger effect later on. For years the people in the regions west of their tyrant attackers withstood the blows dealt to them, without retaliation. As time went on the kingdom had grown to believe that they had beaten everyone, that no one would resist them. But they later found they were majorly wrong.
