Fireworks, cheering and happiness were everywhere. Everypony was celebrating Equestria’s anniversary. As usual, all of the princesses were celebrating it at Canterlot. In the Canterlot Castle hall everything was so perfect. Nopony knew that this party will be a start of a tragedy.

“Twilight, I just got a great idea” Cadence suddenly said, walking closer to Twilght.

“What is it Cadence?” Twilght completely amused said.

“How if we move this party to Ponyville?” Cadence said.

“Wait, In Ponyville? In my castle?” Twilight started panicking.

“Is there any matter?” Cadence asked.

“Well, the thing is. We’re not ready. I mean, we can’t make party in such a short time,” Twilght explained.

Pinkie Pie heard this, quickly ran and stopped in front of Twilight.

“Yes we can! With my party cannon everything is going to be awesome! Because I’m awesome and I know it! Please Twilight! Please, Please!” Pinkie said with glimmering eyes making Cadence giggle and Twilght gulp.

“If you say so then….” Twilight was cutted by the over-reacted Pinkie.

“Everypony off to Ponyville now. We’ll make a party there!!!” Pinkie shouted.

Twilight just sighed at her friend’s antique personality.

Everypony rushed to the train station when suddenly, the most elegant train ever arrived.

“No, way. We’re going with the Crystal Empire Train?” Twilight asked in disbelief.

Cadence just smiled. “Well then, what are you waiting for?”

Twilight jumped in. Followed by the other princesses and Twilight’s Friends to. They were really excited. In the middle of the trip, Princess Celestia walked closer to Twilight.

“We are so proud of you, Twilight Sparkle. You have proved to everypony that the most powerful magic of all is the magic of friendship and I’m so thankful of it”

“I’m so honored Princess Celestia. But it’s my responsibility as the Princess of Friendship” Princess Celestia just smiled at her student’s words.

Meanwhile, outside the carriage, many guards surrounded the carriage to protect the princesses. And Shining Armor was the leader. But he made some seriously weird faces that made Cadence worried. She walked closer to him and asked.

“Something’s wrong?”

“Oh, nothing for your concern.” He said. But his face told it differently

“I see. You want to go to the restroom don’t you?” Cadence asked.

“No. I’m on my duty now. I m-must protect you. Ugh…”

“Don’t force yourself. We’ll be fine. Nopony’s gonna hurt me”

“I’ll came back as soon as I can!”

Then, Shining Armor rushes to the restroom as fast as he can. Cadence walked back to her place.

Meanwhile in the dining car.

“Just put it inside the cake!” said somepony with a very familiar voice

“Gwahaha.... This is gonna be so cool” mysterious pony number one evil-laughed.

“Hey guys! Those bitches are not under protection now. Time for us to jump in?” Said mysterious pony number two.

“Alright. Remember! Stick to the plan. Don’t ruin it! Understood”

“Understood”

“Absolutely!”

“Well then. Let the games begin”

One of them went to the main carriage by wearing a chef suit and bringing a fancy cake that was covered for a surprise.

“I’m so hungry” Cadence said while touching her stomach.

“What a coincidence! I brought a cake for all you highness to enjoy” said a unicorn pony with a chef suit. He opened the cover and all of the princesses were really happy.

“And, I put a special element to make this cake tastes better” He said.

“What kind of element?” Twilight asked curiously.

“The elements of SURPRISE!!!”

He then activated the mini jetlinggun that was inside the cake and it started to shot them brightly. Everypony was surprised. Twilight thought fast and wanted to use her magic. But it was too late. Her horn was fired and broken. Just about two seconds later, her left eye was shot and she fall down to her dead. The others death was as tragic as her. All was burned. Bloods were everywhere. Everything was ruined.

“ Gwahahaha….. NOW RUSSIAN WINS!!!” Evil laughed one of the evil army

He just left their death bodies that way. Not long after that Shining Armor came back.

“Huff…. What a sound…” Shining Armor opened the door to reveal such a tragedical scene. His eyes widened in a mix of emotions. Sadness, Angry, Disappointed in himself, and else. He explored them and watched in horror to find that they were all burned from the head to the hooves. Nopony has survived. They all died with open eyes.

“Cadence! Twily! Wake up! Wake up! D-don’t mess with me this way! Don’t play your pranks! Please! Wake Up!” Shining Armor starting to freaked out and he cried miserably. He tried to make them breathing. But it wasn’t working. He looked everywhere for help until he saw Rainbow Dash at the next carriage.

“Is that Rainbow Dash? She’s still alive? How can she survived? I have to ask her!”

Shining Armor ran immediately to talk to Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash!!!” He screamed while running.

“Huh?!..” Rainbow Dash mumbled with a slight surprised face

“You Survived!!! Thank God you survived. What happened?” Shining Armor asked her with such a worried face.

“I… I…. I…” Rainbow Dash’s eyes watered and she fall to tears.

Shining Armor looked at her with sad eyes and helped her to stand up.

“Well, I can’t force you to explain it. It must be very hard for you to. Isn’t it?”

Rainbow Dash didn’t answer. But she sobbed even louder than before.

“Don’t worry. We’ll figure out who did this!” Shining armor smiled at her.

“Y…Yeah” Rainbow Dash smiled with a smile that looked very real.

They finally arrived at Ponyville. But everything was not under control. Russian flags unfurled. Armies were everywhere. They rebelled, they violated, did everything what they wanted. Shining Armor watched in displease.

“We have to find a way to a safe place to bring these bodies” Shining Armor said.

“I think you better go first” Rainbow Dash said.

“What?! Why?” Shining Armor clearly confused turned and looked at Rainbow Dash with burning eyes.

“I have to defeat them! They’ve killed my BEST FRIENDS and all the princesses! I will never forgive them! Forever!” She said.

Shining Armor took a glimpse of her eye and he saw an aura. An aura that was different from the usual Rainbow Dash. He was a little unsure. But seeing the power in her eyes he finally agreed.

“Alright then. Just… Be careful!” Shining Armor ran immediately leaving Rainbow Dash in her place now.

After Shining Armor left her, her expression totally changed. An expression that can’t be explained.

Suddenly, an army walked closer to Rainbow Dash and seems like he wanted to tap her shoulder before he was tackled by Rainbow Dash. The army screamed in pain.

“What have you done!!?” Rainbow Dash yelled. She was really mad.

“W-what have I done?! I-i’ve done as you ordered me, Mam” The army stuttered.

“You didn’t get HIM killed?!!!” She screamed again.

“Who, Mam?” The army asked.

“Who? You still have the guts to say that word?! Are you blind? Shining Armor of course! Fuck it! Look, I think I’ve already told you to not ruin the plan, Right?” Rainbow Dash said in a calm but very dangerous tone.

“Y-y-yes, Mam!” The army stuttered again.

“Then, WHY DID YOU RUIN IT!!!!!!!” Rainbow Dash yelled at the army making him more scared then he already is.

“I-I am really sorry mam! But at least I’ve killed the princesses, right?”

“Yeah. I think you’re right.” Rainbow Dash took a knife from the ground and chops off the army’s head.

“You useless little scum!” Rainbow Dash looked at the head and just sighed.

“This is gonna be really hard”

Meanwhile, in other place Shining Armor hurriedly looking for a safe place. He brought the princesses and Twilight friend’s bodies while wondering for the safest place to bring these bodies.

Finally, He decided to check at the castle library. He sneaked to the castle library and succeeded. He quickly placed the death bodies on the floor. However, when he did that, he couldn’t stop himself from blaming himself and crying.

“This is all my fault! If I just hold a little longer to go to the toilet it all wouldn’t ended up like this! I am a terrible husband! I failed as a brother!  How can I fail like this? This means war! I have to look for help! But who must I ask?”

Shining Armor suddenly saw something that shone brightly deep in the library.

“What is that?” He walked closer to found the source of the light.

There, shining brightly was the mirror to the real world. Shining Armor found an idea.

“That mirror! Of course! That is the key! I have to find him! I hope I still remember the spell to open the gate”

Shining Armor then tried to open the gate and it worked. He walked closer to the gate before looking at the death bodies behind.

“I will took my revenge! Don’t worry Cadence, Twily! They’ll regret it!” Then, he jumped to the portal.

In the White House, President Ego was having a conversation with General Forsta. When suddenly a bodyguard interrupted and whispered to the president.

“What’s his name?” President Ego asked.

“Shining Armor, Sir.” The bodyguard answered

“Shining Armor? What is he doing here?” President Ego seems confused

“I think he needs help, Sir.”

The president thought for a while when suddenly he ordered.

“Make a meeting! NOW!!!”

President Ego immediately made a meeting with General Forsta and some high-rank military officers. Then, Shining Armor got in.

“What makes you come here, General Shining Armor?” President Ego asked.

“We have some serious problems in Equestria and we need your help. They were just too many” Shining Armor said.

“They? Who are they?” President Ego raised a brow in confuse.

“I, I don’t know. They look like they were armies. I never saw them before” Shining Armor reported.

“It’s alright. We will help you!” President Ego declared.

“Uhmm…. Sorry for interrupting, President. But, seriously? We will be helping them? We don’t help saddening animals. No offence. But, President. We are elite armies. That will make our reputation get scratched. They can help their self. I mean, they have horns, wings, and all kids fantasy attached to them. So, NO. Sorry, we can’t help you” General Forsta prepared to leave before Shining Armor shouted at him.

Shining Armor couldn’t control any of his emotion right now. Just after seeing his precious persons in his life taken away from him, he was mocked for wanted to save them. He usually didn’t scream at other people let alone who is higher than him, and never cried in front of anybody. But this time it was different. It was all about the person he loves he did this for. He stood and threatened General Forsta with his gun. The guard that saw this also prepared and they threatened Shining Armor back. But, Shining Armor didn’t care a bit.

“Excuse me?! SADDENING ANIMALS??!!!! I saw they death right in front of my eyes. Although I didn’t see directly how it had happened. Have you ever had the feeling that everything, everyone you loved leaves you behind. My wife, my sister, my nation. How if this had happened to you?” Shining Armor screamed and he started to cry.

All the person who listened felt pity for him. Shining Armor stopped talking for a second to control his sob and suddenly spoke again.

“I apologize. I didn’t mean to scream like that. But at least, give me some mercy. I came here from a faraway place. Please. Help me. We are all the same. It doesn’t even matter if we look ridiculous or even disgusting in your eyes. We are creatures. You are creatures. We’re the same but a little different.” Shining Armor dropped his gun and fell to his knees.

President Ego watched Shining Armor in pity while General Forsta got a hard time thinking. He too, felt pity towards Shining Armor but he couldn’t let his armies go waste. He thought for some time and suddenly stood up. He made a motion towards the guards and they put their guns back.

“General Forsta?” President Ego asked confusedly.

“Prepare our best armies. I repeat, prepare our best armies. Bring the deadliest weapons. We have to save Equestria! This is an order! Now!” General Forsta ordered.

“Yes sir!!!” the guards saluted and came back to their posts to bring the order General Forsta gave.

Shining Armor was confused. General Forsta seems like a serious person who will not change his mind easily. But, here he was. He took back all he said back then. What is going on?

“Wait? What? Why?” Shining Armor asked, clearly confused.

“Look, I’m really sorry for what I had said. You were right. We are all the same. No matter what we are. All creatures must unite.” General Forsta declared.

Shining Armor felt honored. He suddenly smiled.

“Thank you very much General, President” He bowed.

“So tell me. Where is Equestria?” General Forsta asked
