One very peculiar afternoon will soon drive Equestria to total war. Not like any war, but a civil war. Where there are not two sides, but six. SIX! Who are the leaders of the sides, you might ask? Well, they aren't royalty, I think. Not the last time I checked. I'll have to look it up on the...never mind, off topic.
The leaders of each side represent an element of harmony. Heh, more like HARM-ony. Harm because, well, they're at war for Pete's sake! Their names? Hmm...should I tell you? Maybe later once this story progresses. But why would they turn on each other and divide the country by six? Let's find out!
It was in the middle of the afternoon at Twilight Sparkle's Library. (It hasn't blown up yet) And six ponies were inside. One a purple unicorn, Twilight obviously. A pink horse..."ahem" sorry, PONY, named Pinkie Pie. A orange hor-I mean pony named Applejack. A cyan colored pegasus with a Rainbow colored mane named Rainbow Dash. A yellow, timid pegasus with a purple...ish mane, more like violet honestly, named Fluttershy. AND finally a unicorn, named Rarity, who's white with a purple mane.
They were gathered around a table. A game table. Which would hold a game that would lead to a deadly, and unreason-I mean REASONABLE war. What game? What game caused this? Well, if your bored of my narrating skills, I think we should move on and see what happened that fateful day.
The board was set down on the table with the use of purple and yet, tedious, maybe not so tedious magic. Yeah, the board smashed against a couple of walls, and the pieces of the walls were hanging on to the board like glue or whatever humans call the sticky pieces of plastic. Sticky Tape maybe?
"Twilight dear, I think you should not carry the board next time." Said Rarity in a moody way, she sometimes would get moody now and then, not all the time, but she can get really stressed. Twilight only dismissed Rarity's comment with a annoyed look before setting the board and pieces of metal onto the table.
The game was............drum roll please!.............................Monopoly!
"Monopoly? Again? I thought we played this last time. Besides, where did you get this non pony game anyways?!" Complained Applejack, who seemed a little annoyed to play a game she was good at again. Twilight just ignored her friend and set the medal pieces onto the board.
"Okay, who wants to be what piece?" Asked Twilight to her friends, who picked up their favorite pieces, leaving Twilight with the least favorite of the five. Grunting, she picked up the metal with a disgusted look and set it down on the starting place.
"Alright, let's begin, I'll go first-"
"HOLD IT!" Yelled Pinkie Pie, who grabbed the dice from Twilight's magic and held them close to her like if it was her favorite item in the world.
"Hey! Pinkie! Why'd you-" Twilight began, but was cut off.
"You went first last time! It's my turn now!" Yells Pinkie Pie, who rolls the two die onto the table, one said 4, the other 3. Then Pinkie took her metal piece she picked and moved it across the monopoly board.
"One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven! Aha! I can buy a piece of property. Let's see... hmm..." Pinkie brought her hoof to her chin and thought about whether or not to buy the land. For seconds she thought what to do. Finally she took the card of the property and bought it, she took some of the play money she received, namely, $150, and took the card to a empty space in her part of the table.
"You need only like one hundred dollars for that Pinkie." Said Twilight, who was counting the money she had.
"Whatever, I'm okay with it, because the more money she wastes, the better for us right?" Said Rainbow Dash, who was eying the money box, her greedy ambition to win was kicking in for the board game.
As the game progressed, arguments flared up like a object ready to burst. Rarity wanted all of the property that was expensive, but when she had to go to jail she whined. Applejack wanted the railroads, and Rainbow Dash wanted Board Walk. Twilight seemed to be annoyed with the arguing, and the others were being ether very quiet or were very loud.
"I HAD ENOUGH!" Yelled Twilight, her horn flickered as the board along with the game parts started moving around, flung everywhere, hitting ponies in the head and hooves. "Applejack, this is war!" The purple unicorn declared after Applejack made Twilight pay one thousand dollars, she walked towards Spike who has his jaw open in surprise.
"Fine then! Rarity, I think war is somethin' I declare on YOU!" Applejack yelled in response to Twilight's flare-up, she then started walking away, but before she could get out the door Pinkie yelled. "Fluttershy is at war with me! Because this sounds like fun!" Pinkie seemed not angry at all, but in war it's all about anger, right?
"In that case Pinkie, I'm afraid we can't go out to prank ponies together like we planned for tomorrow." Said Rainbow Dash with a smirk on her mug, she then started flying out the door, pushing Applejack out of the way.
"YOU PINKIE PROMISED THAT RAINBOW!" Yelled Pinkie Pie angrily, feeling like warring now, she ran out the door.
Rarity, who stood still while everything unfolded, finally said. "Well Fluttershy, see you in battle." She then started to leave, Fluttershy flying out to her cottage behind her. Twilight then called Spike to her and signaled for sheets of paper by flicking her hoof. Once Spike quickly brought them to her, she began writing to all of the cities of Equestria, telling them to pick their sides in the war that was coming, for the Elements of Harmony had began a six-way war against each other to resolve a problem they had.
Spike sent the letters to every corner of the Equestrian Empire, everypony were picking sides in each city and moving to the bases that each of the mane six started building in different parts of Equestria. Some even got bows and arrows, as well as spears and swords ready for battle.
The mane six's little, tiny problem turned Equestria into a fiery, fierce battleground where all of the ponies fought, murdered, and took hostage. There was little hope that The Crystal Empire would come to stop it, not even Celestia or Luna may stop it. Will this end?
