The Last Stand of the Royal Guard

by brony at war
After Celestia sent Nightmare Moon into her 1000-year exile, Nightmare Moon's most fanatic followers rose up and began a march on Canterlot to overthrow Celestia. The only thing between them and the Princess were the 189 Royal Guardsponies.

Princess Celestia had banished Nightmare Moon for the next 1,000 years, but peace still had yet to settle in Equestria. The most fanatic of the queen's followers, loyal to the end and with no one to give them orders, begin a march on Canterlot and the Royal Palace. Their objective: to kill Princess Celestia, bring their Queen back, and establish the reign of Nightmare Moon across Equestria. Over ten thousand of these ponies set out on this mission.

Standing between the Princess and those ponies, the elite 189 Royal Guardsponies prepare to fight to the last breath to defend their monarch.

This is their story.
