Prologue

Equestria had been facing financial ruin, all hope had seemed lost, the ponies were starving and there was barely a bit left in the Royal Treasury to help them. Unwise spending, unfavorable trade negotiations and greedy nobles were just some of the reasons that this had occurred. The Princesses of Equestria had tried all that they could to try to prevent this disaster from happening, but even they, with their seemingly infinite power, could do nothing to stop it from happening. All too soon, they were trying anything they could to regain even a fraction of their former wealth. They'd begun selling off chunks of unused land, priceless artifacts, even some of their most private secrets, all to the highest bidders. They had even considered selling off whole towns or cities, but it seemed that many other nations would rather attempt to take it all by force.

The changelings were looking ready to start another invasion, the Yaks of Yakyakistan had made no secret of their desire for the Crystal Empire, and the griffons of Griffonstone were getting more hostile in their negotiations by the day, while the Saddle Arabians were completely ignoring them. The only other nation that seemed at all willing to help Equestria was the nation of the Zebras, but they themselves were not in the financial position to help Equestria in any substantial way. Princess Celestia, Princess of the Sun, was feeling helpless to help her little ponies, if these other nations attacked, Equestria would most definitely fall, her little ponies enslaved or worse. They simply did not have the pony power left in the guard to protect all of Equestria, and the six mares who embodied the Elements of Harmony's new Rainbow Power only worked against truly evil beings of great magical power causing immense disruption to the balance of Harmony.

It had been while she was going through some old notes from Starswirl the Bearded that she had remembered her adventures into other worlds, and that's when she had gotten an idea. Find a new world, a wealthy world, and find something, anything, that they could sell to this new world in the hopes of saving Equestria from ruin. And so, Celestia called upon Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship to aid her in relearning the method of creating a portal into another world, and once completed, they found the world of the humans. It seemed that these humans already knew all about Equestria and the exploits of it's heroes through the show, My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, and it seemed that all the humans wanted from Equestria were ponies; ponies for sex, ponies to eat, ponies to cuddle. And so, remembering about the Mirror Pool, Twilight had proposed the idea of selling Mirror Pool Clones to the human world, and after the conformation that this would create the greatest era of prosperity Equestria had ever seen, the Equestria Pony Meat Business was created.

A factory was built, with a special AI named KARiN bought from the human world to run all the automation's of the factory, and meat ponies cloned at the Mirror Pool were shipped to this factory to be sorted. Ponies who allowed themselves to be cloned would be paid handsomely, and soon there were more candidates for cloning than the Princesses knew what to do with. Equestria was soon coming into a new age of wealth of prosperity, but also technology as all sorts of inventions and innovations were being traded to Equestria for other resources. Truly the future was bright for all ponies, well, only for the original ponies that is.

The Equestria Pony Meat Business has been in operation for 4 years now.
