A Cliff Inbetween

Load Full StoryNext ChapterPrologue
It was a peaceful day in Equestria when it happened. Lone Scythe was looking up in the sky. As his Name said he lived alone. Because everyone he has been working with dies, because of strange circumstances. The Unicorn was looking up in the night sky while he thought of all the good things, which had happened since the “Elements of Harmony” came back. Discord, the root of Chaos, has been turned into stone for at least the next million years. Nightmare Moon was turned into her normal state Luna again and the Changelings were banished into their own country. Not a single piece of evil is left in the world of Equestria. Thanks to the domination Skills of the sisters of night and day, the society was able to recover from theft, murder and disbelief, the Scientists were able to discover several methods to transport Ponies faster from city to city and the Pegasi managed to control most parts of the weather in the Everfree Forest and that only in one year. If you would have to look for any antagonists in this great Equestrian Society you wouldn’t find anyone. He felt happiness. “I will never be a hero, my special ability seems to bring death to others, but now as I live in the freedom of being alone, I finally....” he was interrupted in his thoughtful sentence by a loud explosion. As an instinct, he immediately looked where it came from, which was, to his surprise, from above. He felt fear, admiration and excitement at the same time for what he saw. It looked like a huge cliff in the sky expanding.... DOWN! As he realized that this huge thing in the sky could tear him apart, as it was falling down, he started to run, despite the fact that the Ponies of the nearest village would probably just die because he talked to them, he ran there to warn the inhabitants and to take the next teleporter to Canterlot.
He never really was into this Pony thing when he was young. He first heard about those strange fans of a community when the whole thing became illegal, thanks to some celebrities, but even after the youth culture “Bronydom” hit the society like an impact, Nick never really looked further into anything “My Little Pony” related. Not because he hated it, he never was a spoiled kid with prejudices about everything, he simply wasn’t interested. “Yo, Nick” His roommate and best mate Luke came in. “You wanna watch some Ponies?” “Nah, I told you before that it isn’t really my thing” “Well, before you deny his offer take a look in the TV or a newspaper first!” Their neighbour Ann came in. “Uhm, has something happened, I should know?” “Whoa, dude don’t ya tell me you haven’t heard about this “Dimensional Cliff” in the US!” Nick was surprised again and again about how fast his friend gets information. “Nick they wanna send soldiers in it! We HAVE to go along with ‘em and maybe we discover something very special there!” His friend sounded so enthusiastic that Nick didn’t get over a smile. He tried to start a sentence. “Well then....” “I already signed us three up” He was interrupted by Ann. “WHAT” He shouted and regretted it already. “I don’t have any other choice then, I think? Let’s get going then.” Suddenly the TV was turned on by Luke. “Dafuq, dude I thought we are already signed up?” He felt that his friend didn’t turned on the TV just for fun, he had a special sense for important news.
“We from the Equestrian Ministry of Peace want to have a peaceful contact with those of the other dimension. We are a harmless folk of Ponies who just wish to be in peace with our neighbours and as it may be dangerous to cross the side to the “APE-SHADED” we also will stay in our home country only. We hope that the treatment between our two worlds will be alright. ~THE EMoP~”
Lone ran as fast as he could but the cliff got faster and faster, until it crashed down on the Equestrian territory. It hit him. “UAAAAAGHHH” he screamed, but then he realized, that nothing happened to him and he stood there unharmed and could walk just normal. When he turned around he suddenly looked into another world. It differed a lot from his dimension, but also looked same. He saw trees, water and smelled flowers, but there was a huge difference. Everything seemed so HOPELESS. He, scared all of the sudden, decided to run off to the village Cottinghoof and inform the Ministry of Peace and the Ministry of Diplomacy immediately. As he ran over the fields he suddenly saw something on the other side. There were huge machines brought to the edge of the cliff. He saw some “things” running on two legs having some strange sticks in their front “hooves”. He thought that he saw some animal in this shape before, but he just couldn’t remember why. Finally he arrived in the village and some concerned villagers tried to ask him what was going on. He, who ran so fast that he passed his power limit, just said a stammered sentence. “Transmission....Princesses need to... maybe hostile.....dimensional cliff......important....” and then fainted.
Joe Clark was his name and he hated everything. His job, his old family, the world he lives in and the way people act. In past times he compressed his hate, so that he only needed to hate one thing, which was MLP. In this past time he used to click on every Brony made video he found, leave a hateful comment there and caps-locked the hell out of everyone. Now that Bronydom is illegal he greeted the possibility to get his team in the “Enemy-Territory”. He heard that this dumb EMoP just wants “Peace” with the human race, but he didn’t care about that at all. He never did. He destroyed arguments of people just by insulting their living styles or families. He never cared about “Love and Tolerance” and that’s why he was one of the people, who shot at participants of the great “March of Being Tolerated” by the Bronies. He always “supported” the Regiment who overtook Obama in the year of 2016 and because of his actions in 2018, while this march took place he shot several hundreds of Bronies, who didn’t seem to start resistance, he was promoted as a General. Now he was leading his troops towards the town next to the “Dimension’s Cliff” or “DC” to set up a base of future operations towards the, from the regime as “Antagonistically” promoted, culture. He moved with his tank in the front and also got as first one out of it when arriving at the bridge over the river Hoofsun. “Well hello there! We didn’t expected that the humans as you call your race would come for a visit to our beautiful town, Cottinghoof, that soon! Wait we are...” [BANG] He shot his pistol. “We are not here for a visit, we are here to get our rightful resources as superior race”. The Ponies seeing this scene started to scream, to run and some just froze. “OPEN FIRE” He shouted in his micro “KILL EVERY SINGLE PONY YOU SEE, WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONS!”
Luckily Lone sat in the Cafeteria next to the Teleporters, when the attack started. “.......WITHOUT ANY EXCEPTIONS!” After he heard those last words he heard some strange rattling noises and screams, so many screams, screams of fear and mainly of dying Ponies. He rushed towards the transmitter and had an awkward feeling inside his stomach. “I delivered death”, he thought, “all those poor Ponies only died because of me.”
The Great Massacre of Cottinghoof with just 20 survivors started the Dimensional War
