Chapters This is a story bearing on the everlasting struggle for world supremacy fought between the powers of two things: Technology & Magic
Millions of years ago, the Earth blew up into a hundred atomic fireballs. The blasts were caused by five terrorists that wanted to take over the Earth.
It took a few million years for the radiation to clear the skies and allow the sun to appear in the sky. By then, there were only little of humans left on the Earth. Most of humanity was turned into mutants that lived in the badlands that were radioactive that allowed them to never become human like they were in the past and every birth became a new disaster. Not only were the humans changed into mutants, but horses did too. There are a species that called themselves changelings . Unlike the horses from millions of years ago, these changelings look bug-like and can fly as quickly as hawks. They had teeth that are as sharp as knives; this species also has an ability to shape shift. The K-9s were mutated as well; they could walk on two legs and have the brain of a human.
In the good lands however, there were ponies and other good creatures that arose from their long slumber. Pegasi are ponies with wings that can soar the skies like a bird and unicorns that have horns which produce magic.
One day in Equestria, it was a happy day; Harmony, queen of the Equestria, was having a party celebrating three thousand years of peace. However, during the celebration, Harmony felt a pull from the sky. She looked up and saw dark clouds forming all around from every direction. She then fell into a trance and left the party up to her castle that was standing on a high hill. The residents were very puzzled to why she would go into her castle without saying a word. Suddenly, the residents began to feel a pulse that told them to follow her.
Harmony was alone inside the castle without any guards or servants to bother her. Outside the castle where the residents stood, the storm grew until thunder struck the land. The eldest resident, Starswirl, was brave enough to enter the castle to see the queen. As he entered her chambers, he saw Harmony lying on her bed holding a pair of twins within her hooves. As Starswirl got a closer look at the infants, he realized they were no ordinary ponies; they were magical alicorns. The infants were polarized like magnets. One that that had an attracting kinetic draw; the other was repelling and impossible to get near.
Celestia, the kind and thoughtful alicorn, spend most of her childhood entertaining her mother with neat tricks and visions.
Chrysalis, the changeling-like alicorn, would never visit her mother and spends most of his time torturing small animals and getting into conflicts.
Many years have passed and Harmony's life continued to slip. Soon, all life drained out of her as Celestia held her hoof, trying desperately to restore her. She cradled her mother within her hooves and wept.
Chrysalis however heard the news and was excited for that she could try and take over leadership of Equestria. When Celestia confronted Chrysalis, she was full of rage. It was a furious battle as they fought each other with their magic. They continued until they nearly destroyed each other, but Celestia's magic was stronger because she was enraged over the loss of her mother. Chrysalis was defeated.
"You'll pay for this," said Chrysalis as she limped herself up," the day will come, sister! Just wait and see! I'll return and make all of Equestria a place where mutants, changelings, and demons rule!"
Chrysalis headed away towards the badlands, leaving Celestia very concerned.
Baldands; a place where mutants, changelings, and diamond dogs thrive. Within these Badlands was a kingdom that had an evil aura to whoever looks upon it. Around the kingdom's city, were its residents who were the most unkind to talk to, unless you were one of them. Changelings either male or female were on the streets flirting to whoever passes by them, except for those who instead want to become soldiers. Diamond dogs were either in a part of the city or were in the mines that are located outside the cities barriers digging for buried technology that was used millions of years ago. Mutants were told to do whatever the ruler demands of them. Not only were their mutants, diamond dogs and changelings, there were ponies and pegasi as well who were forced to work and live in shady areas of the kingdom. The ruler also informs that if there is a believer of magic among the kingdom, they are sentenced to death. 'Magic' is a word the ruler of the Badlands cannot stand.
Who is the ruler of this terrible kingdom you ask? It is none other than Chrysalis. She lives within the castle and away from her sisters' sight.
Within the castle, Chrysalis sat on her throne while levitating a cup of tea to drink. The throne room was cold; it felt as if winter never left the room. Chrysalis stared down onto three figures that were side-by-side awaiting her orders. Two of them were frog-like mutants that have bumpy skin and large yellow eyes; the one in the middle was a diamond dog with dark as night fur and a scar on his right cheek. His name is K-9201. He and the two frog-like mutants are assassins and are always done what they are told to do: KILL .
"The time has come, my assassins," said Chrysalis with a hiss. "Kill."
The three assassins bowed and made their way out of the throne room.
"HALT! You in the middle, K-9201," said the changeling queen as the diamond dog turned around and faced her, "I have a special mission for you."
K-9201 walked across the badlands and headed for the land of Equestria; Celestia's kingdom.
Two days later, he was close to the borders of Equestria when he heard the sound of an feminine old voice coming from the forest. As he slowly and quietly made his way through the forest, he heard the old feminine voice clearly than before. As he peeked his head from a bush, there was an old green pony reading from a large book to three little fillies that sat around her while she read to them.
"Little munchkins, the only true technology is nature itself," said the old pony as she continued reading to the fillies from her large book," man-made technology are perversions. The old dictators used technology to enslave-"
The old pony was cutoff as the K-9201 cocked his gun and pointed it down towards the old pony and the fillies.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The diamond dog shot the old pony, including the fillies, as he continued his trek towards his said destination. He may be on a mission, but that won't stop him from doing what he does before: assassinating the believers in magic.
Night time came, as K-9201 made it up to the top of the mountain. He made it; he is now in Equestrian territory. He looked down below as he sat down on a boulder to catch his breath.
40 minutes later…
Below was a path that leads into the forest. At the entrance of the forest are two guards that stood there on guard as one levitated his spear, but the other held onto his side. One of them had a white coat and purple armor; the other was wearing gold and was sitting down with a bored look upon his face.
"Hey Shinning, can we go and tell the princess that there's no assassins still?" asked the guard with golden armor as he gave out a yawn.
"No," said Shinning, as he stayed alert.
"Come on, man. I'm bored as hell waiting for mister assassin to come."
"I sense something, Flash."
"You always say that and the path is always clear. We haven't seen an assassin for days."
"You should know that a clever assassin always stays hidden. Celestia must be warned. Also, stand up; you have to be up when the assassin arrives." said Shinning armor as he turned his head towards Flash with a scowl.
Little do they know that an assassin was gun pointing them right as they speak. K-9201 popped half of his body out of the bush and fired.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The bullets hit Flash's armor, breaking through and hitting him in the chest.
"FLASH!" shouted Shinning as he held up Flash within his hooves.
K-9201 shot again, but missed as Shinning tosses his partner onto his back and ran into the forest. K-9201 ran after him as he cocks his weapon while on the run.
Shinning was far away from the assassin as he jumped with all of his might towards the other side of the forrest, but feel a meter below with Flash's corpse flying off his back and landing beside him as the two made it to the bottom. Shinning got up and tossed Flash's body back onto his back and continue to run away.
K-9201 ran up towards the edge of the same cliff Shinning tried to jump and decided to climb down as quick as he could with his gun attached to his thigh. He tripped, but at least he was quick enough to grab ahold of a branch nearby. He made his way down and took out his gun. He looked towards the ground and slowly, but quietly, followed the hoof tracks. As he continued walking through the forest, his ears picked up the sound of crying.
As he slowly walked up to the source, he saw the white unicorn guard looking down upon his dead comrade with tears going down his cheeks.
"I'm sorry," said Shinning with a sniffle. "I should've paid more attention."
K-9201 was ready to end his suffering as he made a step forward, but accidentally stepped onto a twig that snapped loudly.
Shinning turned around quickly with his spear levitating by his side.
"AHHHHHHH!!!" shouted Shinning as he swung his spear back and forth against the diamond dog.
His swings missed and then Shinning jumped onto the assassin as he bucked him with his front hooves, making the assassin walking backwards.
As Shinning continued clinging onto K-9201, little did he know that behind them was a cliff, as they fell into the water below with a splash.
Princess Celestia/ The Assassination
Further away from the fight between Shining Armor and K-9201, was an old castle that stood on a high hill. The ruler of this castle passed away long ago and has been taken over by one of her children; the ruler of this castle is Celestia. Celestia has been taking good care of the castle and has added more decorations to make her feel home.
At the moment, Celestia is in the company of Cadance, her niece and the Mayor of Ponyville. She and the two others are waiting for the soldiers that have been sent to guard the pathway that leads to Celestia's kingdom. Celestia was getting nervous as she sat on her throne.
"Hold on a sec, I'll go see if they're here yet," said Celestia, as she got off of her throne and headed towards the balcony that had a telescope.
As Celestia peeked her eye through the telescope, she looked around the forest area and can't spot the two soldiers returning.
"Damn it," said Celestia, as she stomped her hoof on the limestone floor and walked back to her throne.
"Well?" said the mayor with a cocked eyebrow as Celestia sat down on her throne.
"They're not here yet, my president. I wonder what's taking them so long," said Celestia as she rubbed her chin with a hoof.
"They sure are taking a long time," said Cadance as she sat on a beanbag," I hope they're ok."
"Don't worry," said Celestia, as she got off her throne and walked over to her niece,"I know they'll come back to us safe and sound."
Celestia placed a hoof on Cadance's shoulder and gave her a smile. Cadance smiled in return as she hugged her aunt.
"Damn it, Celestia! If there's any darner around here, then maybe we should use arm our states!" said the Mayor with a raised up hoof.
"Us using science and technology?" said Cadance with a cocked eyebrow.
"No… we don't have time for that," said Celestia, as she walked away from Cadance and towards a plate of cake that has been there for an hour or two," I don't approve of that."
She levitated the plate of cake, along with a fork and munched down.
"Besides, science and technology was banned years ago," continued Celestia between her chewing," And I must admit that it's been a peaceful world since then."
"ENOUGH," shouted the mayor as she stomped her left hoof," I demo and to know what your know or I'll banish you from this kingdom!"
"Banish her? That's pretty harsh, Miss Mayor. Plus, who will teach me more magic?" said Cadance.
"Alright then, Miss Mayor," said Celestia as she finished her cake and levitated it over to her table," I'll tell you what you need to know."
Celestia then walked over to an old jukebox and turned it on, as jazz music filled the throne room.
Little do they know that below the balcony was K-9201, who has survived the fall and is climbing up the vines towards the top with his gun loaded.
A mile away from the castle, Shining armor was running as fast as his hooves can to reach the princesses and the mayor. He was weaponless as his spear slipped out of his magic and ranked to the bottom of the river.
"If you think that I'm far away from you, diamond dog, then you've got another thing coming," thought Shining armor as he followed the path towards the castle.
"I also hope Cadance is ok."
"So you two know about my sister right?" asked Celestia from her throne.
"Yep," said both the Mayor and Cadence.
"After I defeated her, I was curious on what she would do to make an army, so I had to look around and search for her. I found her living in the Badlands, where people still died of radiation."
For 5,000 years after her defeat, Chrysalis has been studying black arts to increase her wisdom 10,000 fold. She made a following of mutants, but needed more troops for her evil plans. She began to forge an army who's generals were called from the black shadows of hell; souls that awaited an eternity for a new leader. Chrysalis' tremendous power enslaved them all to carry out her will. There have been stories of Chrysalis' army's attacking neighboring countries. Demons of hell, armed with black magic, but they would get bored or even sidetracked in the middle of battle and giving up, running back to the badlands to their master.
They could've won, but they lacked the motivation and inspiration to fight. Chrysalis knew that she needed more. She sent diamond dogs and mutants to excavate ancient civilization ruins for links to the past. Tales have reached Celestia that pieces of pre-holocaust technology were brought back to the Badlands. With these findings, they began to create new war machines, but still, Chrysalis' generals needed more to fight with. This drove Chrysalis mad with frustration.
Then one day, that frustration vanished as if it never happened.
"And that's why I have the entrance to my kingdom guarded. I'm for certain Chrysalis has found some great power that could control her armies," said Celestia, as the Mayor and Cadance sat together on a beanbag.
"So what you're saying is that Chrysalis has an army that is very powerful that we could all be-" the Mayor was cutoff as bullets went flying through her.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Cadance screamed as she rushed over towards the back of Celestia's throne chair. Celestia spreads her wings and her horn began to glow with a yellow aura. Before the diamond dog could fire his weapon, Celestia shot out her magic that zapped from the tip of her horn. The shot was too quick for the diamond dog to dodge that he fell to the ground with a thump.
Cadance came out from behind her aunts' throne chair and looked at diamond dog who was down to the ground unconscious, including the dead body of the now assassinated mayor. She walked over to the Mayor and looked down upon her as blood came spilling out of the Mayor's corpse.
"WHY?!" shouted Cadance as tears came out of her eyes.
Celestia came down from her throne and sat beside her niece. She placed a wing over her and placed her head on top of Cadance's.
"I'm sorry, Cadance… she's gone," said Celestia as a tear came down her left eye.
Just then, the throne room entrance doors burst open; it was Shining armor who was out of breath from running towards the castle.
"CELESTI-" Shining Armor was cutoff as he looked over to the corpse of the mayor and the diamond dog that he was chasing after, who lied there passed out.
"I'm sorry, your highness," said Shinning Armor as he walked up towards the crying alicorns," I have failed you… and the Mayor."
"SHINING! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS CRETIN ESCAPE FROM YOUR GRASP?!" shouted Cadance out of anger and sadness.
"He was… too strong for me; He also killed Flash Sentry," said Shining as he lowered his head, "I'm sorry… for everything."
Celestia sat up and wiped off the tears in her eyes; she walked up towards Shining and placed a hoof upon his shoulder.
"You did your best, Shining… you did your best," said Celestia.
"What is your next order, your highness," said Shining as he stood up straight.
"For now, I want you to take this killer to the dungeon. I will talk to him once he awakens. Have two guards in front of his prison," said Celestia as she walked back to her sobbing niece.
"Yes, your highness," saluted Shining, as he walked over to the diamond dog and dragged him by the collar towards the dungeon.
Little do they know that on the diamond dog's belt, there was a tiny red flash sending a message back to the Baldands. He pressed the button before shooting the Mayor; Meaning the deed is done.
Baldands
The changeling was looking on a big screen somewhere in the castle that just received a message from K-9201 saying that the Mayor has been assassinated. The changeling jumped with glee as it flew off towards Chrysalis' throne room.
As the changeling made it to the throne room, Chrysalis was messing around by playing with the skulls of unicorns.
"Your highness! Your highness!" said the changeling, trying to get her attention.
"What is it? This better be good," said Chrysalis as she levitated the unicorn skulls to the side of her throne chair.
"I got a message from K-9201. The Mayor is dead," said the changeling with a grin upon its face.
"It is time," said Chrysalis with an evil grin upon her face," with the assassination of the Mayor, Equestria will soon be mine and the death of my sister."
"What is your order now, your highness?" asked the changeling.
"Call my army towards the front of the kingdom. I have something to show them that will inspire them to fight," said Chrysalis with a chuckle, as she got off her throne chair and walked out of the throne room.
"It is time to strike… seig heil."
The Army of Tomorrow's Master Race
Author's Note
I know it's been a long while since I worked on this, but I wanted to write a little more with it. I also plan on editing the chapters before it a little more as well
The Army of Tomorrow's Master Race
A siren has been set off, telling all of Chrysalis's army to appear before her. Within one of the homes, are two changelings getting ready to meet up with everypony else, but one of them is having different thoughts on the situation. The room they were in was small with a few cracks on the walls. There were two beds on the left and right with a lamp on the nightstand between the two beds.
"Hey there, Thorax," said one of the changelings, as he puts on his helmet. "What's wrong? We gotta go. Chrysalis is calling for us."
"I don't want to go," said Thorax, as he sits on his bed with his ears flopped down.
"Come on, Thorax," said the other changelings with a little of anger in his voice. "We have to go. When she calls, we go."
"I don't want to fight anymore, Drix."
"You have too!"
"I don't want to hurt things anymore!" shouted Thorax, as he looks to his comrade with anger.
"You're such a fool." grunted Drix.
"I'm not stupid! Just listen to me! Everything has a right to live, you know?! Trees, birds, butterflies! Everything! Everything has a right to live!"
"Shut up!" said Drix, as he decks Thorax in the he'd with the end of a spear. "Chrysalis has a weapon that will make our army invincible. We won't lose to anyone."
"So what?"
"It means you're still going to war. Now get your ass off the bed and get a move on!"
Thorax sighs and levitates his helmet that stood beside him and followed his comrade out the door.
"Everything has a right to live," thought Thorax to himself.
Within the castle, Chrysalis walks towards one part of the castle that will show the outside borders of her kingdom. She pushes the doors in front of her aside, revealing within the room, an old projector from millions of years ago and two breezies chained close to it. One is a male with dark blue fur with a dark green mane and tail. The other is a female with yellow fur with a light blue mane and tail. The two look over to Chrysalis with anger in their eyes.
"Your plan will never work!" shouted the female breezie. "This planet doesn't need another war! It's what destroyed this planet millions of years ago, along with its people and past civilizations!"
Chrysalis gave out a chuckle, as she looked down at the little breezies.
"Not all of the records of past civilization as you will soon find out," said Chrysalis, as she walks past the breezies and towards the curtains with swastikas on each one. Her horn glows, as the curtains are pulled aside for her to look down at her army of mutants, diamond dogs, changelings, and many other evil creatures that are here to serve her. "Attention! Leaders of tomorrows master race!"
The army below her shouted with excitement, as they stomped the ground, clang their weapons together. Chrysalis raises a hoof, making her army go silent. She brings her hoof down and continues to look around the army with a chance of winning the world for herself and those who follow her.
"The time has come as I promised, my loyal followers," shouted Chrysalis from her balcony. "The time that I shall reveal to you the ancient secret of war! The key for creating hysteria! Bringing fear to our opponents! Making us feel like... Gods!"
Chrysalis looks back at the breezies with her horn glowing and firing off a blast of magic that made the breezies grab onto a piece on the side of the projector whirl. The front part of the projector shines forward, showing a white light into the sky.
"Behold, my followers!" shouted Chrysalis, as she pointed towards the light, making her army turn around towards the sky, as a visual of a flag with a swastika appeared with music of a language that has been forgotten from millions of years ago . The footage showed strange hairless ape-like creatures in uniform marching beside one another in orderly fashion. The army watches carefully, as they watch above them an army that was far advanced then they were. A changeling looks to another changeling and asks what the creatures were, but the other changeling doesn't have the answer to his question. A mutant with one eye, wearing a nazi uniform, nudges a demon beside him that wasn't wearing any armor and tells him that he's wearing the exact same uniform as those in the visual. The mutant nods with a smile and pats his back friendly. Thorax of the changelings watches the visuals, until they showed machines; the same machines that the mutants and diamond dogs found from somewhere a little further from the kingdom. The machines began to shoot down the people below, as they fell to the ground dead in their tracks, flying machines dropping bombs that exploded, the things in uniforms shooting their guns at their enemies as they marched forward. Many bloody and gory images began to show up more and more in the visual, as the army below began to understand how war goes and are getting the proper motivation on how to fight and kill their enemies.
Chrysalis looks down at her army that is more of an army than ever before.
"Are you now motivated to kill?!" she asked her army below.
The army shouted with glee, as Changelings held up their spears, mutants roaring, diamond dogs stomping the ground.
"Then march forward!"
The army turns north and marches their way toward the good lands.
At the borders of the good lands, was a trench from millions of years ago from an ancient war. Inside the trench are stallions on armor with swords in their mouths, ready to attack the enemy if they every showed up. Among the soldiers is a mare with a rainbow mane and tail with light blue fur. Beside the mare is a filly with orange fur and purple colored mane and tail. The soldiers look above the trench where there was barbed wire close by and a valley ahead.
Suddenly, drums can be heard in the distance, making all of the soldiers hold their weapons tightly.
"Hey sis," said the filly, as she looks over to the light blue mare. "Do you hear those drums?"
"I sure do, Scootaloo," said the sister, as she placed a helmet above her little sister's head. "I bet those suckers are trying to get us again."
"I'm scared, Dashie," said Scootaloo, as she held onto her sister's right hoof.
"Don't worry, sis," said Dashie, as she chuckles. "Last time that changeling queen brought her army, she lost a million of them. If she's coming again, we'll kill a million more!"
"You mean it?" said Scootaloo with surprise.
"Those goblins and demons may look scary, but they're nothing. They act like cowards and run off. Ain't that right, guys?!"
The stallions shout with agreement, as they held their swords up high or stand on their back legs for a second.
"Don't worry, Scoots. I won't let them hurt you."
Scootaloo smiled at her sister, as Dashie smiles back at her.
"Here they come!" shouted a stallion, as everypony got into positions.
"Get ready, Scoots."
From afar, spears are held up high as many more began to appear. The skies began to roar, as mutants road on changelings as steeds with them hissing down at the small army below them. The drums stopped, as the army began to get closer and closer to the border. As Dashie looks at the army, she began to notice something unlike before when she fought in the previous war. The army before her had the look of bloodlust in their eyes and will not stop until their enemy lies dead before them.
"Charge!" shouted a unicorn, as he held his spear forward and charged at the enemy.
Many stallions followed, as they bring a dust trail behind their hooves. Mutants from above point their guns downward and shoot. Bullets were everywhere around the army of stallions as they get shot one by one. The army began to charge as well, with swords high in the air as they went down onto the stallions. Some were decapitated, while others got their heads split open hard with blood jetting out until they were on the ground trampled by hooves and feet.
"My time to shine," said Dashie, as she jumps out of the trench.
"Sis! Wait!" said Scootaloo with worry.
"I'll be back, Scoots." said Dashie, as she flew up in the air as quick as she could and charged towards one of the mutants flying upon a changeling.
The mutant cocks his gun and points it at Dashie and fires. The bullets miss, as Dashie quickly evades the attack. At full speed, she body smashes the changeling, as it and the mutant fall to the ground.
"Shoot the mare!" shouted a mutant with horns and red skin from below, as he pointed up towards Dashie.
"Good luck with that, bub!" shouted Dashie, as she charges toward the next flying changeling.
Bullets are shot to the sky, as Dashie began to lose balance with her charge and is forced to charge toward the ground.
"Here's another idea," shouted Dashie, as she charges down toward the army.
She charges down and moves forward through the army before flying back to the sky.
"Charging at you guys from above!" finished Mashie's saying before she made another charge down.
A tank began to roll in, along with twenty more, as one of them has Dashie in its range.
"Hehehe," cackled the diamond dog with white fur within the tank. "Good bye, flying chicken."
The diamond dog presses the button, as the tank shot off towards Dashie with quick speed.
Scootaloo looks out towards the army, as she notices a missile heading towards her sister.
"Sis! Look out!" shouted Scootaloo.
Dash looks towards the missile, as it was one feet from her and hits her on the dot. The missile exploded on impact, as some of the mutants and changelings below screeched for victory.
Scootaloo hid within the trench with terror, as her little body trembled from the loss of her sister.
"No! No! No!" shouted Scootaloo. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"
The anger within her came out, as she looks to the skies to see lights from the battle, as guns and ancient technology fired from the battlefield. She gets up to her hooves and spreads her wings and flew out of the trench. She stares toward the battlefield, as she witnesses many of her comrades and the enemy clashing against one another until there were fewer of stallions. She spots a corpse of a stallion with a sword embedded in its stomach. She rushes to the body and bites down to the handle until it was pulled out of the corpses stomach with a few drops of blood landing onto her face. She looks toward the army and charges forward.
"You killed my sister!" shouted Scootaloo within her mind. "You killed her!"
One of the mutants spotted the small filly and without any mercy, points its gun.
"So long, little piss ant," said the mutant, as he fired its gun directly at the small filly.
Scootaloo gets hit in the left hoof, as she tumbles to the ground with the sword out of her mouth. The demon takes a step toward the injured filly, as he points its gun down towards the head. Scootaloo weakly looks up at the mutant and stares into its lizard like eyes.
"You... killed... my..."
Scootaloo faints from blood loss, as the lizard-like mutant points its gun away. It marched forward, as it walks passed the body of the fainted filly. The army continued its way towards the nearby village, as Scootaloo weakly opens her eyes and sees fire around her home with the sounds of screams and gun fire.
"N-no... not my..."
Scootaloo was too weak to even move from where she lied, as she tried to crawl her way toward her village. Suddenly, she gets stepped on the head by a hoof. She looks up to see a changeling hissing down at her.
"The world belongs to Chrysalis," said the changeling, as it held its spear up high and strikes down towards Scootaloo's stomach.
The filly gurgled, as the changelings pushed its spear deep within her until all life is drained out. The changeling pulls the spear out and makes its way towards the village, leaving the body of Scootaloo behind with the others who have died before her.
