The Universal Union: Invasion of Equestria
The Fall
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe dropship's landed in seconds, releasing the soldiers and strider's into the Everfree Forest.. The strider's began with their warp cannons, firing violently into the town.

The soldiers formed lines of troops in the Everfree forest. They set up a command center, preparing for an unstoppable invasion on the town.
A unit in white armor, with a red visor walked into the command center, earning salutes from the basic infantry. The Elite unit returned the salute.
"All units in local sector, defend this zone. Bravo squadron, inspect outer sector. Clear out all biotics.
"Copy that.", was heard over the radio multiple times from the varying squadrons of soldiers.
Thirty minutes later
The combine began an assault on the town, punching holes in most buildings.
Mayor Mare had been writing on pages, filling out paper work, approving or denying requests. So on, so forth.
Mayor Mare heard the sounds of battle from outside her office, as she peeked through the window, she quickly backed away in fear. She yelled for her assistant, Raven. "Raven!", but Raven had most likely already left. She heard something that sounded as though it was warping.
A hole had blown through the building, and she screamed in fear, as she realized she was missing her front right leg, hoof, bone, flesh, fur and all. Blood began pooling around her, as she screamed in fear before going out cold.
Twilight ran out of the coffee shop, leaving her coffee. Blue specks of light flashed by, striking ponies all around her. Some screamed for help, others fainted from the hellish chaos that was the invasion.
Twilight made a break for her castle, dodging gunfire from all directions.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a large blue light coming her way, and she quickly pulled up a shield using her magic. The blast immediately destroyed her shield, yet she survived due to the blast being absorbed.
Twilight looked around her dizzily, and slowly made her way up onto her hooves.
Once up, she re-recognized everything that was happening around her. Her ears were ringing, and she felt as though everything happening was in slow motion.
Twilight collapsed, her heart beat remained steady.
Five minutes later
Twilight slowly arose from her fall, and the noise had seemed to halt, fire and smoke filled the streets. She took advantage of the smoke, and ran for her castle just as infantry emerged from the smoke behind her.
Twilight arrived at her castle, yelling to Spike. "Spike! Come here, fast!" Her loyal assistant quickly ran down, asking Twilight
"What happened? I heard all the noise, and I didn't want to go out to find out what it was."
Twilight responded "I don't know, but we need Celestia's help. Now!"
Spike began scribbling onto a letter,
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Ponyville has been attacked by unknown creatures with heavily advanced equipment,.
We need help, as soon as possible!
From, Twilight Sparkle."
Spike then quickly sent the letter, using his flame.
The Town would seem calm if you were blind, because everything was so quiet outside,
The rest of the elements, with the exception of Fluttershy, made their way to Twilight's crystal castle.
Once they arrived, Twilight had a look of relief on her face.
She stated "Some other civilization invaded Ponyville, and I don't know what to do! I already got news to Celestia, but I don't know if we'll be able to defend against these things."
Rarity said "They're quite brutish, and I fear for my little sister! Sweetie Belle's still at school, maybe we should start there?"
All of the others had agreed, and so they quickly begun planning for their rescue mission...
At the Ponyville School
A dropship landed, and soldiers quickly made their way to the building. They crowded the sides of the doors, one yelling "ECHO, ONE. Breach on my signal!"
"Copy that.", said ECHO ONE.
"Three, two, one. Breach!"
The soldiers breached the building.
They shot Cheerilee as they breached in, making her body drop cold.
The foals screamed, and panicked. The soldiers shot a few of the foals, causing the others to stop, and listen.
The foals were rallied up, and put against a long wall in the school house.
One soldier simply said, "If you're willing to work. Move to the other side of the building."
Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo quickly exchanged nods, then moved over to the other wall in the building, as followed by a few others.
The few that didn't move were Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Snips, Snails, and Archer.
The soldiers raised their weapons at the few that didn't move. The gunfire made the other foals turn around, as the ones who were unwilling got mowed, and killed in seconds by the pulse weaponry that the Overwatch units possessed.
The group of foals willing to work had been expressionless, in shock, and fear. Unable to respond, too scared to move.
The foals were given uniforms, and forced into an APC for storage until the town was fully, "liberated".
Outside of Twilight's Castle
Overwatch prepared to invade the building. They had a strider fire one warp blast into the building, then they aimed in their weaponry, and moved in through the front door of the castle.
They aimed their weaponry at the ponies, and dragon.
The ponies stood in shock, before being forcefully shoved to the closest wall.
The ponies were questioned on subjects, such as the planet, governmental system, whether or not they had a currency, and so on so forth.
Canterlot Castle
Celestia prepared her carriage in fear of what happened to Ponyville, and so she gathered her best guards, and in her terms "armed them to the teeth", such as a bow, quiver, one catapult in separated parts for creation in combat, swords, and rags for bandaging wounds.
One hour later...
Celestia began explaining her reason for rallying her best troops with such equipment.. "I received a letter from the Elements of Harmony. From what the letter states - we've been attacked, and Ponyville is in extreme danger already...
I fear for Equestria's stability, as Ponyville is our main transport, and trading hub..."
Ponies had gasped at her words, believing them to be untrue, thinking that maybe the letter was fake, a joke?
Celestia continued, "The letter was far from a joke, my little ponies. But we will liberate Ponyville once again!"
Her carriage, and soldiers began moving towards Ponyville, preparing for war.
Celestia thought to herself, "It has been a thousand years since Equestria faced its previous war... I am unsure of how prepared we are, but I must keep strong and do what's right for my ponies."
They looked over a hill side, viewing the town with horror in their eyes, the fire from the town reflected in their eyes.
One hour later...
The Universal Union had already made Ponyville use their own currency, "credits", and wear a blue uniform, with a civil identification number on a white box on the suit. The suits had bar codes on them as well. The ponies were now given rations, most foods were illegal to possess. The foals were forced to work in factories, managing heavy metal, creating weaponry, or incinerating bodies, or incinerating illegal goods.
The Combines rule had already invaded much of Equestria, renaming their cities to just be "City", with a number following close behind.
Once Celestia arrived, the didn't expect what she saw. Blue metal and black barricades had expanded all along the perimeter, with large walls, destroying a large sum of the Everfree Forest as the walls had thumped down, moving outwards, flattening the land.
Celestia said, "Lieutenant Freeflyer, get the catapult set up, and then prepare to fire on the walls."
"Yes, your highness", responded the lieutenant.
After setting up the catapult, they fired it at the wall, not even denting it. Once the Overwatch were alerted of the disturbance, a strider creeped over the wall, and then walked out, firing a warp blast at the catapult, instantly disintegrating the ponies managing it. The pegasi guards flew up, attempting to stab at the strider, only for their swords to bounce off of the metal. The unicorns tried magic - yet, their magic didn't work on the strider.
The strider was easily winning the fight on the equine guards.
Once there were a few left, the strider ceased fire, and multiple Overwatch soldiers ran out, yelling "Surrender or be executed!",
Celestia was forced to declare, "We surrender, the bloodshed put upon my little ponies will not go forgotten..."
The guards were in shock, but followed along her words.
Thirty minutes later, in Canterlot...
The guards in Canterlot were executed one by one, which Celestia hadn't expected, when she brought it up to a soldier, she stated "I demand you stop at once.", but the soldier denied her order. The new order system seemed unfair to her, she was only above law figures, and military figures could simply do what they wanted. Equestria had been invaded, and all ponies now had blue jumpsuits, most were jobless.
The Universal Union cut off the goods going to each city, capturing citizens leaving their previous city. The combine had took cities one by one, always surprising the ponies in these cities. The Universal Union used rush tactics, rushing the cities in numbers, with power that would never be matched for thousands of years.
Fillydelphia fell in an hour, after the rush destroyed all their defenses - and they couldn't receive any more reinforcements because of Ponyville being invaded.
Noponies Land - "Our Town"
The residents of the small village had heard the distant gunfire and artillery.
The ponies remained in the village, minus Starlight Glimmer.
The ponies left their homes as they heard the sound of chopping in the air... A black helicopter flew over head, wires strung down, as Overwatch slid down from the cords.
The soldiers ran up to the village, and had begun inspecting it.
The ponies hid in their homes, fearing what may come of them...
Forty Minutes Later...
The resident's were rallied up into the middle section of the village, as they were loaded into two separate APC's, they were then driven off to another city.
Dodge Junction
Dodge Junction was quiet, ponies prepared for the worst. They boarded up their windows and doors.
Two dropship's flew overhead, all carrying soldiers.
The soldiers didn't expect any more resistance, and easily took all the ponies from the town, and bringing them to Ponyville.
Appleloosa
The Overwatch completely abolished the town, shooting artillery over towards it, and the town was reduced to ruins in a few mere minutes.
Manehattan
The cities economy crumbled, the city was in fear, shock, and every pony in it was separated from eachother.
Overwatch had begun a ground assault, sweeping the ground level of the city. Ponies ran in all different directions, only to be caught by another force.
The combine refrained from using artillery because cities were the best for them to use.
Dropship's flew in, dropping soldiers onto rooftops to sweep the buildings from the bottom to the top.
Manehattan was declared to be under the Universal Unions rule soon after the battle had begun.
Ponyville
Several Days Later
The Civil Workers Union Project on Earth expanded out to Equestria, allowing ponies to buy Universal Union Approved products, such as light alcohol, some food types, or other drinks. Most of the bad things in these foods, and drinks were removed, and left slight resemblance to their original forms.
Other civilizations around the planet feared the Universal Union once they heard of the invasion.
They prepared to defend their countries...
