Call of Equestria: Modern Warfare

There is a simplicity to war. Attacking is the only secret. Dare - and the world yields. How quickly do they forget that all it takes to change history... is the will of a single pony.

What is the simplest way to win a war?

If you were a pony, you would probably say friendship.

If you were a changeling, you would probably say deception.

If you were a dragon, you would probably say force.

They however don't realize that it takes a combination of the three being formulated in such a way that can be executed without question by the soldier's under a general's command or a group of rebels being lead by a radical leader. Friendship leads to alliance. Deception leads to confusion in the enemies command. And force... well... leads to painstakingly careful plans of attack that is designed to keep your soldiers alive, but also kill your enemies in the process. The most important thing to note however is the fact that friendship does play a crucial role in warfare that most ponies who have never served never truly understand.

Its the bond between your brothers in arms that you truly care about. The great thing about that is that they can come from anywhere, come from any linage, and their genders don't really matter. Same applies with their race too. A pegasus can get along with a unicorn just as good as any other pony when it comes down to war. It is only when deception and battle is introduced by the enemy that the powerful bond of soldiers becomes tested. It is at that point in time where a choice about your brothers is made.

And, unfortunately, soldiers rarely have enough time to think on that decision...

Here is the story of five soldiers. All from different places, with different likes and dislikes, with different personalities, but all have one goal that they care about enough that they were courageous enough to enter into a war that will test their friendship.

When the world is at a breaking point and the homeland of Equestria is within the grasp of a madpony whose agenda only consists of changing the world for his own liking, it is these five ponies who will pull the pieces of a planet back together before nothing but ruins and desolate countries remain after the wave of hate passes.

Or they will die trying.
