//-------------------------------------------------------// Bull Revolt -by Orgmyu- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The beginning //-------------------------------------------------------// The beginning Speeches was all Toromaniac used to fuel the revolution he started less than 2 days ago. A bull who grew up around racist ponies was now the leader of the current violent movement sweeping Equestria by storm. Appleloosa crumbled in the first day due to the low security and the natives they were surrounded by. 36 casualties were confirmed later by Equestrian guards who arrived a bit too late due to the vagueness of the call they got. There were no suspects in the area...until they questioned the buffalo tribe near the massacre. Fighting broke out between the two sides but did not last long due to the overwhelming strength of the Equestrian military. 5 guards lay dead and 16 were injured but the buffalo took a larger toll: 32 dead and 29 severely injured. The buffalo were forced to surrender and give up the land their ancestors have had for centuries. It is unknown why the buffalo attacked other than the fact of the long-standing dispute that a couple measly pies wouldn't be able to dissolve. Toromaniac used this opportunity to start the revolt now known as: "The Bull Revolution". Ponies are considering the day of the buffalo attack the first day in the revolution. In the second day not much happened other than the fact that Appleloosa was overrun by Bulls, Buffalo, Donkeys, and a few ponies who held signs declaring to stop the discrimination in Equestria for the minority groups. Celestia decided it was best to send 500 guards to Appleloosa to make sure nothing would occur (which thankfully nothing did). The sheriff of Appleloosa (Sheriff Silverstar) proposed a law in order to stop the segregation between ponies and buffalo which was a huge factor in their dispute. It seemed the bull revolution wouldn't be as much of a revolution as ponies thought it would be... until the movement reached Baltimare.                                                             ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 km away was the town hall of Baltimare and the "Bull Lives Matter" movement approached the mayor's work building with signs and boards ready to protest the extreme segregation of ponies and non-ponies. Griffons and even ponies were in on the march to stop what was happening in all the different shops around them. Suddenly, turning the corner of Hoof St. they heard chanting, shouting, and hollering; a counter protest was taking place in front of them, blocking the path to the town hall. The BLM protesters had no choice but to confront the rival protest face-to-face. Guards were immediately sent to patrol the area. When the first group of guards arrived at the scene, fighting broke out between the two sides so they intervened in anyway they could. Before the guards could even utter a word helmets started flying and being ripped off from their heads and were being beaten senseless by both groups. It wasn't long before the BLM movement started to slowly advance across the street as ponies fell to the ground in 10 seconds flat. Guards started arriving and got in between the BLM protesters and the counter protesters. Before anyone realized it guards started spearing the BLM protesters. The guards took the majority's side and defended them. The death toll reached up to the 20's in both sides. Everyone started running back to their homes as blood splashed onto the streets. The conflict was 20 minutes long and was brutal with over 40 arrested and over 50 dead. This was the spark that ignited the REAL revolution everypony was afraid of. //-------------------------------------------------------// Los Pegasus //-------------------------------------------------------// Los Pegasus Toro sat in his office thinking about what he started 3 days ago. He read in the newspaper about what happened in Baltimare, and wasn't just dissapointed, he was PEEVED. "Sir! There are guards patrolling the area, we should get outta 'ere before they find us!" shouted one of Toro's assistants. "Gather up everyone and move out to Shelter #34." responded Toro. "Yes sir!" said the assistant as he ran to alert the rest of the group of the incoming search. Toro had almost forgot that he was now a wanted criminal for starting this whole thing. He was one of the most successful business bulls in Equestria, but Celestia decided to take out the company as it was ran by a wanted man; surely Equestria could go a few days without milk, peppers, and a few spices, right?                                                                                   ----------------------- Back in Ponyville, ponies were furious at the town hall demanding answers for why there was such a low supply of milk, spices, and peppers. Even Pinkie Pie was jumping up and down in fury. Shouting and hollering was all that could be heard for a few minutes until the Princess of Magic trotted towards her friends up on the stand and took the microphone. "Um, excuse me" Twilight interrupted, "It appears as though we haven't gotten the shipments of some items from Los Pegasus, but it's for a good reason!" "What reason is good enough for me to stop making CUPCAKES!?" Pinkie commented from the crowd. "Pinkie?! You're supposed to be up here on the stand with us!" Twilight shouted with confusion. "Oh right, woopsie-daisy" responded Pinkie as she climbed the stairs in a happy and calm manner. "Anyways," Twilight continued, "we haven't gotten shipments of some goods from Los Pegasus due to the biggest company of goods there was being ran by a criminal." Ponies gasped and whispered among each other with a few snips of conversation being audible. "We've been buying criminal butter?" "Was the milk spoiled after all?" "Can you go get me my purse? I forgot it back at home" "AH-HEM" Twilight cleared her throat loudly in order to get everyone's attention, "The Equestrian military is already on a search for the CEO of Cow-Mania: Toromaniac, the search has just started a couple of hours ago with Princess Celestia supervising the operation." Twilight waited for the crowd to die down again so she could continue, "We will keep you all updated on any major future events."                                                                                                MEANWHILE, BACK IN LOS PEGASUS "Alright, get me the crystal ball." demanded Toro as he sat down in the new office space he took shelter in. "Uh, yes sir" an assistant answered as he walked out the door. "One more thing" Toro asked, "Get me a report on the strongest points of security in Equestria ASAP" he demanded. "Yeah, sure" the assistant replied before closing the door. Looking around, Toro noticed how much he hated Shelter #34, it's mucky walls seeping a strange brown liquid, the faulty electricity that always flickered on and off, the spiderwebs on each corner of the room, and the horrid stench protruding from who knows where (not to mention this was the "nicest" room in the building). Luckily, not many would think of finding an extremely rich wanted criminal in an outhouse like this. A neighborhood like this also hid Toro from the guards as this was the most dangerous part of Los Pegasus. He started to think about the crimes he had committed and why Equestria was after him. Apparently, it's illegal to supply and help out Equestrian enemies during times of war, who knew? He was being pursued for treason, assault, and fraud; if the guards find him, it'd be game over for good old Toromaniac. He also started a violent movement that's lead to countless deaths (but that's a dumb reason to arrest someone, right?) Toro was interrupted from his thoughts by Buckaneer (a red male pony with a yellow mane and tail. He has an eyepatch on his left eye, and a scruffy beard.), he was an old friend of his who made him as rich as he is now by helping him out with deals all over the world and even sharing some of the loot he's found.  Buckaneer was world famous for being a pony pirate who traveled across the seas (mostly the South Luna Ocean) but he wasn't exactly famous for the right reasons: treason, murder, fraud, grand larceny,and much more. "Ah, Bucky! How you doin' compadre?" Toro chuckled. "Just as fantabulastic as you, you old friend" joked Buckaneer. "Great. Anyways, why are you here?" Toro ordered. "Protection of course!" Buckaneer exclaimed, "and to make you a deal to help you win this fight." "What fight are we talking about here?" asked Toro "The revolution you've started, man!" answered Bucky "You've probably torn this country in half already with those speeches you've told." "I'm pretty sure I drowned myself in cider before the speech, so I don't remember saying much of it" commented Toro. "Well anyways, I want to bring Celestia down from the throne and replace someone else whose been wanting a change in management lately." declared the pony pirate. "And who would that be, hmm?" Toro asked doubtingly. Buckaneer whispered the name into Toromaniac's ear, Toro's eyes grew wide as he realized who Bucky was talking about. Bucky returned to where he was standing so the former CEO of Cow-Mania could take it all in. "You sure about that? How are we supposed to ask them to help us? 'Cus I 'aint doing that..." Toro whined "Don't worry about it man, I already talked to them and they were more than delighted to help us." Bucky answered, a devilish grin plastered on his face, "of course, with great deals, there's always a fee."
