Chapter 1 The New Name
In the year 2017 Equestria is now at peace once again after the 3rd Great War was prevented by a young alicorn named Imperial Crest. Sadly he was sacrificed in the progress ending up vanishing without a trace his friends declared a new era for Equestria where ponies, changelings, dragons, griffons, yaks, zebras and other species can co-exist.
Meanwhile at a country far off Equestria known as Zipang is rebuilding itself from the war. At the capital city in the city square a huge crowd of ponies, changelings, dragons, griffons, yaks, zebras and other species marched toward the place for a ceremony declared by Crest’s brother Imperial Wolf.
At the entrance of the palace a huge stage was built and at the centre was large table where all the Equestria Royalties are going to sit and a stand for the speeches. Then the crowd of ponies, changelings, dragons, griffons, yaks, zebras and other species gathered to find a spot to see and listen to the speech. A bunch of ponies wearing naval uniforms holding orchestra instruments heading next to the stage getting ready their instruments and music notes and waits for their conductor. An earth pony appeared wearing a black uniform holds a conductor stick on his mouth trotting to the stand where he’s going to conduct the orchestra.
Then a female unicorn known as Kotoko Ichi appeared trotting to the huge stand and uses her magic to levitate a microphone near her and she said “Hello everypony and other species. It’s very kind to all of you for joining this big ceremony” She levitates her note and reads “We going to have many invited guests from all around of Equestria, we have Dragon Lord Ember, King Thorax, Prince Rutherford, Emperor James Black Fire, King Wilson Kail, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and then finally Princess Celestia and Luna”
All the crowds applaud and cheering after she mentioned all the names they know. Then the conductor starts playing marching songs while all the royalties gather at the huge stage greeting each other and sitting down around the round table waiting for the last guest.
Kotoko announced “Our last guest will be Zipang’s Empress Amalthea and her remaining son Imperial Wolf”. Everypony cheered but some of them were still sad about Imperial Crest’s disappearance. The two ponies approached the stage and greeted the royalty leaders.
“Everypony listen up, Imperial Wolf will make a speech to all of you and those who watch the live stream all-around of Equestria” Kotoko announced and Imperial Wolf trotted to the speaking stand and all crowd cheered.
Imperial Wolf then takes a deep breath and holds the microphone “Hello everypony, it’s been wonderful day in Zipang once again…” Imperial Wolf sobbed a bit and continued “Today I’m going to pay tribute to my brother Imperial Crest…….My brother is good brother, ever since I was born in this world, he’s been looking after me ever since. During the two Great Wars, Crest and I have been protecting this country for quite a long even though there’s some mistakes we’ve done in the past. Ever since the Nightmare Moon returns, me and my brother and his friends Mel, Cloud, Striker, Brady, James and Wilson worked together to stop and put and prevented the Third Great War. But….*sniffs* after that I realised something is wrong right after Mel was looking for my Crest so me and the other exited our ship and boarded a rescue ship we witness something that we’ll never forget…” Wolf remembers the flashback of his brother disappearing and he then continues and little bit sobs “After Crest said his last words me and the others cried out as we saw him disappearing knowing that we are not going to see him again, *starts to cry and closes his eyes* we will never forget him, in honour of him we declared a new name for Zipang, a name represents his colour coat and his strong will, I therefore rename this country were standing on called Blue Steel” As finished his speech everypony and all the other species cheered including all the royalty leaders and Wolf leaves the stage with Amalthea to comfort him.
Kotoko cried a little bit and levitates her napkin for wipe off her tears and speaks through the microphone “That’s a great name for our empire to clear its name, so in my honour of my friend me and Celestia agreed to build a statue of him in Canterlot and here to remember him, the new flag will be created soon and were going to have funeral ceremony” Everypony cheered and Luna trotted forward to the microphone stand and Kotoko moved aside.
“After the funeral there’s going to be a ceremony in the next 3 days that I held for the first time called the Blood Moon Ball, it’s a an event when everypony remembers their loved ones that was lost during the Great Wars and more and also it will be held near the Musashi, thank you” Luna smiled and bowed as she finished her announce and went back to the round table.
Dragon Lord Ember stepped forward and approaches the microphone stand and announced “Some of our dragons and, Rutherford’s yaks volunteered on a big project, everypony feel free volunteered, no pressure and thank you” She bowed and Ember walks back to her seat.
Kotoko asked “Any of Crest’s friend want to announce something?” A hoof pointed out from the group and James got out of his seats and trots to the stage. “Very well, James” Then the ponies cheered as James got up to the stage.
“In honour of my great friend my empire decided to build a naval memorial for him, thank you’ James announced and bowed and leaves the stage as everypony applaud.
Kotoko take the mic again and announced “That’s for it for the day, I hope this ceremony is good and, don’t forget the announcements, thank you, this is your mc Kotoko Ichi, have a nice day everypony and other species” All ponies, changelings, dragons, griffons, yaks, zebras and other species applaud. Amalthea and Wolf approached to the round table to thank all the royal leaders for attending and all left the stage along with Kotoko. Then the orchestra band continues playing March songs while all the ponies, changelings, dragons, griffons, yaks, zebras and other species that attended the ceremony leaving the capital and returned to their homes and some stayed for the to volunteer on the project that Ember and Rutherford is planning on.
After a few hours later till noon on top of the palace skyscraper a masked human figure appeared, peeking down to the city square.
The masked human spoke “Hmm, I wonder why I still live, well I guess there’s more than meets the eye” He then disappears in a big blue flash and teleported somewhere.
