Eight years have passed, the date is May 6th 1028. Joseph founded a company with Jonathan called Johnson Mining Inc. stationed at the east of Blackheart. In one single month Johnson Mining Inc had almost 200 employees. The gold, diamonds and crystals were then sold to jewellery shops for money. Jonathan and Joseph arrives at the factory on a old looking sedan car and got out of the car. Johnathan took his cane out and jerked his sunglasses off before placing them into his cream coloured trench coat.

‘Welcome to Johnson Mining Incorporate. A mining company that searches for rare elements. Those boys are hard working lads.’ Joseph described.

‘Technology seems to be going well as of this year, hasn’t it?’ Jonathan said.

‘View this.’ Joseph said.

Joseph gave Johnathan a newspaper. The Daily Times the newspaper’s masthead said. Johnathan read through the newspaper’s front page.

BLACKHEART EXPANDING AT A LARGER RATE

With the rise of new inventions such as the automobile, firearms, planes and nuclear power. Blackheart is now being expanded as it has been never seen before. Unemployment rates have been dropped drastically. The government have stated that they’re working on their plans for further improving the lives of the people in Magni.

Blackheart is not the only city Magni has, there are mostly small towns. Blackheart was perhaps the only large city in the whole of Magni.

‘That’s unbelievable. Dad, do you think that if our technology advances even futher that we been defeat the ponies?’ Johnathan said.

‘I hope so.’ Joseph said.

‘Anyways, what plans do you have?’ Jonathan asked.

‘I have a plan were we are excavating a cave at the south east of Blackheart.’ Joseph responded.

‘Right.’ Jonathan said.

Joseph then views the people mining in the outskirts of Blackheart to Johnathan.

‘How does it look? Johnathan?’ Joseph asked.

‘Looks like their doing a hard job. It’s a good job and business you made there.’ Johnathan replied.

‘Thank you. I am planning another mining mission tomorrow.’ Joseph said.

‘Really? Where is it going to be at?’ Jonathan said.

‘In the southeast.’ Joseph said.

Suddenly, a miner came out rushing out of a mined cave interrupting the Johnsons’ conversation.

‘MANAGER! MANAGER!’ The miner shouted out loud.

‘What’s going on?!’ Joseph said.

‘There’s something you need to see!’ The miner said.

Joseph and Johnathan began running inside the cave to see a load of blue glowing crystals.

‘What’s this?!’ Johnathan said pointing his cane at the crystals.

‘They’re crystals that were never seen before. Amazing isn’t it?’ A miner said.

The miners were too busy glaring at the crystals that were stuck at the rocks in the cave.

‘What do you think of those, dad?’ Johnathan said.

‘They’re beautiful,’ Joseph said. ‘someone pass me a shard of it.’

A miner then broke a shard of the crystal and holds it for Joseph but Johnathan puts his cane onto Joseph’s arm before he can touch the crystal.

‘Johnathan, what is it?’ Joseph said.

‘What if they’re dangerous to be held? What if it may contain some dangerous elements inside of it?’ Johnathan said.

‘You’re right, let’s take it to one of the scientists in Blackheart at have it examined.’ Joseph said.

‘And also, you all, continue mining.’ Jonathan said to the miners.

The miners then continue to mine the cave after Johnathan ordered them to do so. Johnathan and Joseph run to their sedan car to drive to the Science Institute of Blackheart to check on the crystal to see if it’s dangerous or not.


Johnathan and Joseph have arrived to the Science Institution and went up to a scientist.

‘Is there something you need?’ The scientist asked.

‘We would like you to examine this piece of crystals we found.’ Joseph responded.

‘That crystal? Why do you need them to be examined and where did you find them?’ The scientist said.

‘We found those in a cave, we run a mining company. We came here for you because we need to know if it is dangerous to be carried or not.’ Jonathan replied.

‘Right, it will take a moment to examine the crystals. I would mind you to wait for couple of minutes,’ The scientist said. ‘by the way. What are you names?’

‘Johnathan Johnson.’ Johnathan said.

‘Joseph Johnson.’ Joseph said.

‘Right. Have a seat just over here.’ The scientist said.

Johnathan and Johnson then took a seat onto the chairs that were available while the scientist is examining the crystal.
‘What do you they are going to find?’ Joseph said.

‘I don’t know.’ Johnathan said.

After five minutes, the scientist came back with a clipboard.

‘The results for the crystal is out.’ The scientist said.

‘What are the results?’ Joseph said.

‘Well, we found a mixture of two elements, Uranium and Plutonium, or Uradium Plutochloride we should call it,’ The scientist said. ‘The two elements were used for nuclear power, maybe these crystal should be used as another energy source.’

‘What do you think you can call this and what symbol should it be?’ Jonathan said.

‘I think we would call them “Krystals”, the symbol would be “Ky”, the atomic number would be 186, and the atomic mass would be 1.025.’ The scientist said.

‘This would be great.’ Joseph replied.

‘Good. It’s nice to see you two finding this new element. Have a nice day!’ The scientist said.

‘Bye!’ Joseph said.


A month had passed. The news about the discovery of Krystal have spread like wildfire. People began using Krystal to create more and more inventions such as mobile devices, modern fashioned cars, new clothing, new electronics and more. Thus technology is advanced even further. Johnathan left the mining company and founded the political party known as Magni Imperium (Or M.I. for short). He posted propaganda flyers onto the streets and advertised it onto the televisions in all of Magni promising order, freedom and revenge on the ponies. Due to their anti-pony agenda and ideologies, Magni Imperium became extremely popular for people around Blackheart, reaching up to three thousand members. Johnathan organised meetings and speeches daily to the members. There was in election being made in Magni, the candidates being Andrew Steiner, the current leader of Magni and representing the Republic Party of Magni, Alice Abernathy, a candidate representing the Democratic Party of Magni, and finally Johnathan Johnson, the leader of the Magni Imperium political party. A month had passed and in July 18th 1028, the election took place. Magni Imperium won the election with an outstanding 74.2% votes, 21.3% votes for the DPM, and 4.5% votes for the RPM. M.I. Established a socialist government run by dictatorship, Magni Imperium is the only party that population is allowed to vote, elections are only made when the leader resigns, rich people had to pay taxes for the workers, and people who go against the new government are either imprisoned or executed. Soon after they gained power over the country, Magni Imperium began hunting down party members of both the Republican party and the Democratic party, This was due to that fact that Johnathan, the founder himself, views the two parties as a threat to his rule and that some day, they might turn against his new government. Three weeks after they rose to power, they have captured the previous leader of Magni, Andrew Steiner, and uncovered secrets from Steiner as to how he got into power through torture and interrogation. It was revealed that he got into power by assassinating high ranking officials and anyone who he deems as a threat to become the leader. They later set up a live broadcast of Steiner confessing to his crimes through televisions on the resident’s houses and the cities. After they stopped broadcasting his confession, he was found guilty of treason and they later made a live execution of Steiner taking place at the walls of the Center region by hanging him publicly through many citizens who where there to see the execution. When the execution was taking place, citizens where seen throwing rocks and stones to Steiner and was throwing insults such as calling him a “Traitor” and “Liar” for his crimes of killing high ranking officials to get in place as leader. The city of Blackheart was split into four sectors: The Center, for the government facilities, army camps, prison camps and secret laboratories. Located at the northernmost of Blackheart. Downtown, an urban place where there is high population density and most infrastructures of built environment. Suburb, a residential area built for housing the workers or citizens. And the Industrial Park, where it’s purpose is industrial development. A next day after the election took place, a construction took place for a colossal building located at the Northern most of Blackheart that resembles a castle on the bottom half and a tower on the upper half. After six months of building it, the building was complete, the outside looking like it’s built of either concrete or stone. Johnathan and Joseph then moved into the building since the building has an apartment for the Johnsons, located at the top levels of the building. The Johnsons gave the name “Palatium” for the building. Johnathan was made leader of all of Magni.


In the next month, the date was January 20th 1029. Jonathan came back to the cave where the cult lived to pull the sword out from the stone.

‘Welcome back Jonathan! Are you ready to pull out the sword?’ Legenda said.

‘Yes, I am ready to pull the sword out.’ Jonathan said.

‘Well then, do it,’ Legenda said. ‘I want to see the light come out within you!’

‘Okay. Here it comes!’ Jonathan said.

Jonathan stepped onto the round table and got a grip onto the sword. His mark on his hand glowed bright purple after he got the grip. He then heard whispers from the cult members.

‘My god, he’s going to do it.’

‘He’s really doing it.’

‘God have mercy on us.’

Johnathan started to pull it out, causing large purple electrical sparks to come out. After that, a purple substance started to consume his hands to reach into his entire body and a beam of bright purple light shot out into the sky, bursting a hole into the cave’s ceiling. The cult members had to shield their eyes from the bright light, Legenda was amazed by the event as he stared at Johnathan who is pulling the sword as hard as he can. Jonathan screamed loudly in agony from pulling the sword. The purple substance then consumed his entire body. Jonathan successfully pulled out the sword causing a bright light again for a slit second and for him to fall off the round table from all the strength he used to pull the sword out. The lightning sparks, the purple substance and beacon of light then disappeared. Jonathan got up grabbing his own hand since the mark on his hand is burning intensively while still glowing purple, after five seconds the mark stopped burning and glowing, going back into it’s tanned outline.

‘He did it, my friends, he really did it. He really is the Chosen One.’ Legenda said.

Johnathan looked at the sword which is in the ground after Johnathan pulled it out, it glowed these runes in purple:

After a brief moment, the runes disappeared.

‘What do those letters say on the sword?’ Johnathan said.

‘Well, the runes translate to “Sit quo ferrum vinceret inimicos eius” or “May this blade vanquish its enemies”,’ Legenda said. ‘It was constructed using a form of metal used by the Gods and they enchanted it with this rune specifically against the ponies for the king.’

‘A form of metal used by the gods, does this mean the sword is indestructible or not?’ Johnathan said.

‘It was speculated to be highly durable.’ Legenda said.

Johnathan grabbed the sword and viewed it side by side.

‘Also, we have this.’ Legenda said.

A cult member then gave Johnathan a black scabbard made for the sword. Johnathan puts the sword into the scabbard and puts the belt on.

‘Those lights and sparks, do I have any abilities?’ Johnathan said.

‘Yes, the user of the sword grants numerous abilities from it. I heard that the king who used the sword had shot out a beam of energy at some pony forces.’ Legenda said.

‘I need to discover what my abilities are. I need to leave.’ Johnathan said.

‘Have a great time, chosen one.’ Legenda said.

Johnathan then left the cave, never to see them again. Johnathan finds an old unused dummy somewhere at an alley in the streets of the Downtown sector, Blackheart has a great river over it’s centre, splitting the Downtown sector into two. There are also rivers that lead to the Center sector but it’s guarded by Magni Imperium boats, gates and soldiers. After Johnathan finds the dummy, he thought of using it for testing his magical abilities. So he took the dummy, went outside of Blackheart, and placed it. Johnathan fired an purple energy ball at it, causing the dummy to explode but left unscathed. Johnathan then fired a beam of purple energy at it, jumped very high behind it before delivering slashes to the dummy, lifting it with telekinesis, blowing fire from his hand. The dummy was near from being obliterated. Johnathan noticed that the mark on his hand and the sword’s runes would light up purple when he used his abilities. Johnathan was able to create a purple shield over him and jump higher.

‘That would do.’ Johnathan said.


In the next day, millions of people began to converge at the south of Magni, rather the borders between Magni and Equestria. People began to look at a man with black hair carrying a sword and wore black clothing such as black trench coat with a belt over it, black leather fingerless gauntlets, black trousers and black leather boots. The man was Johnathan himself, with his blue eyes looked at the people watching him with the sword on his hands. Johnathan gave this speech to his people:

‘Today, this is the day that we will be free from this imprisonment, this is the day that we will restore order and take revenge on what they did to us back then. Today is the day that we will rise up!’

The people then cheered after he gave his speech and looked towards the barrier. The barrier, as what he can see, was a field of distortion reflecting the crumbling environment that is Magni. Johnathan raised his sword and aimed it towards the barrier before shouting these words.

‘FOR MAGNI!!!’

Johnathan’s sword then hit the barrier as it’s runes and the mark on Johnathan’s hand light up purple. A bright light had exploded from the barrier for moments. After the light was faded away, a glimpse of blue sky, green grass and a view of Mount Everhoof appeared. People were in shock and awe from the view. Johnathan was amazed from the chance he gets to get a glimpse of the land of Equestria.

‘Beautiful.’ Johnathan muttered.

Johnathan looked at the lands of Magni and it started to grow grass and daises began growing. Johnathan pulled a largest daisy he could ever find and looked at it with amusement. The environment as it was before was growing nicely. Johnathan looked back at his people.

‘We’ve did it, the barrier is destroyed. Now let the second war begin.’ Johnathan said.

The people of Magni then cheered furiously as Johnathan announced that the second iteration of the Pony-Human War is now beginning.


Magni Imperium started to form an army of itself, gaining thousands and thousands of new recruits everyday. It seems that the people are excited to go back to fight against the ponies again or were veterans from the first war. The gunsmiths then manufactured assault rifles made for the soldiers. The lines for recruitment stations were massive for the fact that many waited hours and hours for their recruitment. Meanwhile, Magni Imperium began holding Hate Ceremonies, where every month, people would gather through a large screen that was showing the faces of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and the people would throw out insults to them for three minutes. After three minutes, the citizens would begin to sing Magni Imperium’s national anthem to show their support for the party.

Let the Second Pony-Human War begin.
