2077
The Launch
Load Full StoryIn the year of 2077 the bombs fell not just any bombs they were magical spell bombs created by Twilight Sparkle to help the Princesses keep control of Canterlot if anypony decided to attack but they were used against them and nobody knows who or why they would do this.
The air was warm and everypony seemed as though they had something to do it was just another boring old day in the sun conversing with other ponies but this day seemed a little off after hearing reports of Manehatten and Fillydelphia being attacked but the residents of Ponyville payed little to no attention to it since they already knew Celestia had sent the wonderbolts and their elite air squad to help them out. But then all of a sudden a siren starts to go off all the ponies remained silent as the siren blasted at full volume then they notice something in the distance like a giant mushroom all the ponies start to panic as they watch a wave of red coming straight towards Ponyville they all run to their shelters and basements not all ponies were ready for this and those who were survived the wave hit and the town just died.
A few hours after the bombs fell Rainbow Dash flew down from Cloudsdale same with a few other pegasus the only smart pegasus to fly up instead of down thew scour the radiated ruins in search of survivors Rainbow Dash decides to check Sugarcube corner first. She walks up to the door and it falls over she spots the basement door and walks over to it knocking on it first letting everypony inside know who was there. There was no response Rainbow Dash slowly opens the door only to see her friend Pinkie Pie unconscious with a busted leg."Hmmm the blast of the bomb must have knocked her out when she was walking down the stairs and thats how she busted her leg too" Rainbow Dash said silently. RD approached Pinkie and put her on her back and carried her out of the basement and set her in the town square next to the others who were found wounded.The next day came and they have found a decent amount of survivors even Celestia and Luna survived the elements of harmony also survived and a select group of other as well the first thing they decide to do is rebuild Ponyville and once that happens they can make scouting squads to search for supplies and survivors.During the process of rebuilding this town they run out of wood so they decide to search houses for wood the first house they check is that of Berry Punch's house they salvage all they could and as they all almost left a pony by the name of Colgate heard a noise in the basement she walks down to the basement and finds nothing she hears another noise coming from behind the wall she kicks the wall down and finds Berry Punch drinking bottle after bottle of irradiated scotch Colgate quickly picks Berry Punch up and brings her to Celestia so she can tend to her if she can Berry Punch is already at critical levels of radiating so bad she has become a conduit of radiation they leave her quarantined and under surveillance just in case of an accident Celestia is confident that the doctors will have her back on her feet in no time.
In the time of Berry Punch's recovery all other ponies capable of standing and working get to work on rebuilding Ponyville they start with a wall all around the town to keep out potential threat coming their way they then get to work on the buildings not to many ponies survived so they have to make do with what they have left. Now that they have accomplished the wall and a few stable buildings Celestia and Luna come to the agreement that scouts and supply runners should go out in search of food and supplies and scouts to scout out all the other towns search for survivors and communities being built for good trading sources they decide to send out Rainbow Dash as the scout and a squad of four to recover some supplies, RD heads towards the direction of Fillydelphia to see what has befallen the city, on the other side the squad heads towards Sweet Apple Acres to recover some kind of food they arrive only to find all the apple trees perfect it almost looks as if the bombs never reached the farm two of the ponies already starving go for the apples and take a giant bite out of it they take the rest and head back towards town on the way back the two ponies that ate apples are feeling a little strange right before they get to town the two ponies collapse suffering critical levels of radiation poisoning, they toss the apples and send the two to the infirmary." With several ponies out due to the consistency of the radiation no pony is aloud to eat anything that is suspected to have radiation in it because the more ponies out due to sickness the less we have to protect and nourish this town the town of New Ponyville.
The next day the town of New Ponyville gets attacked by an unknown force all they see are bug like creatures in the sky swooping down and killing, wounding, or even taking ponies all ponies who made it to their house are safe for now but who knows how long they will be trapped they lie in wait sitting and taking care of the wounded that were just attacked as they are being looked at something starts to happen the wounded ponies start hurting really bad everywhere and after about five minutes they just combust and transform into some sort of skeletal irradiated pony counting a total of at least five after that there was no word from that building again and to make it worse its the infirmary.
Seven hours have passed and the swarm is gone the first thing everypony decides to do is come out all except the infirmary Celestia heads towards the building and peeks in only to find no ponies but a lot of blood everywhere and a bunch of skeletal ponies walking around emitting copious amounts of radiation but she spots that they have not gotten into the room with all the wounded and sick. She notices that the door is made of steel and the radiation is mixed with a cut gas line in the building she bucks the door down startling the skeletal ghouls Celestia then fires a ray of heat in the room causing a giant explosion destroying all the ghouls but in this process Celestia may have just put herself in the infirmary, knocked herself into a coma breaking one wing and a giant cut on her side causing her to lose a lot of blood.
"With my sister out for the time being I will take over and not to mean any disrespect but I'm glad now we can accomplish something in this grim world we have to live in."
