Prologue

Prologue
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

Chapter 1

Chapter 1- This is war
Luna, Celestia and the Ponies representing the Elements of Harmony were standing with Lone Scythe in the bright room with the big map of Equestria on the table. “How can you think that you are the one, who made all of those Ponies suffer, darling? You only delivered the message of a new found species to the EMoP, if you wouldn’t told us about the DC, there wouldn’t be any survivors!” The Pony of Generosity, Rarity, said. “I told you that we should evacuate Cottinghoof, but once again you didn’t listen, even if I had a new strange Pinkie Sense going on!” The Pony representing Happiness or ‘Laughter’ was raging. It didn’t fit into Pinkie Pies normal behaviour, but the other Elements could understand it. “I told you that you should send me there! With my Party Cannon I would have blown them out of our land!” “Uh.... Pinkie? I... uh.... hope that you don’t mind, but.....” Fluttershy, Element of Kindness, started the sentence, but was interrupted harsh and abrupt by Pinkie “WHAT? I would have saved LIVES out there!” “I don’t doubt that, but....” Fluttershy’s voice turned more and more into just a whispering and because of all the harsh comments of Pinkie she almost got to her breaking point. “Ah think you are going a bit to far there, pardner.” The pointless conversation was interrupted by the Pony of Honesty, Applejack. “Ah don’t even think your party cannon would have worked against some less haired apes, which carry sticks with ‘em, which are able to shoot little metal balls out o’ them.” “But I could have kicked their butt!” The Pony with a rainbow coloured mane, Rainbow Dash, shouted. “I would have saved thousands!” “Rainbow, we know that you could have saved many, but only by risking your life, what we couldn’t let you do, because you are important as Element of Loyalty! Also I did some research. Those metal balls are called ‘bullets’ the sticks are ‘rifles’ and those ‘hairless apes’ as you mentioned them, are called ‘Humans’. But we are not here to discuss how we could have saved someone nor are we here to put any kind of research data on the spot! We are here to prepare the other cities for war! You there, you are one of the survivors aren’t you? Please state your name, occupation and explain your cutie mark!” He, the only stallion in the room, always was fascinated by the way Twilight Sparkle tries to handle problems. But he pushed that thought away and started to talk. “My name is Lone Scythe; it was given by my mother because when I was born my elder sister and brother already moved out. Later it also matched me because I hardly had any friends at the School for little Unicorns. I had two, but I’ll come to that later. I am a Medium, who tries to develop new spells and to discover new ingredients for better medical support. My studies are probably unknown, because I only wrote one book yet, the ‘Common usable spells and crèmes’. Well for the last is something I don’t really like talking about. My cutie mark hasn’t appeared when I cut some herbs with a Scythe, which is a part of my job today, it appeared when I delivered death.” Telling the story started to let him think back to this dark day. It was a beautiful summer day and the Pegasi really did a marvellous job back then. He and his friends Red Lily and Early Dust, both were Unicorns too, played on the beach and they decided to go into the water a bit further than it normally would have been allowed for little fillies and colts. As they were playing outside he found something, a shell, a beautiful green shell. “What do you mean with that, darling? One does not simply deliver death to someone he may even know. Please tell us what happened!” Rarity had a chilling undertone in her voice it calmed him down from all the bad feelings he started to feel again. “I found something..... a green shell. It was a deadly Harpy-Snail’s shell, but I didn’t know that on that day. I grabbed it and luckily for me it was asleep. But,.....but, but, when I wanted to show it to my friend Early Dust, he, he, he..” He felt tears in his eyes. “You, uhm, don’t have to tell us everything if it isn’t, uh, comfortable for you.” He wished away the tears out of his eyes and started to talk again. “I would like to accept your offer Fluttershy, but one has to accept his fate if he can’t do anything about it. Well, the snail woke up and was scared of the hoof knocking on its shell. It stung Early Dust with its tongue and inserted its gift inside him. He screamed and I threw the shell as far in the ocean away as I could. When I looked to my friend I saw blood for my first time. I saw as his hoof started to melt and he screamed in pain. The water around me was coloured red from his blood and I tried to do something.” The screams of this horrible day started to hall in his head. “LOOONE, MY HOOF IT DISAPPEARS! IT HURTS SO TERRIBLY! AHAHAHAAAAAAA! UAAAARrrghhh.....” He shivered. “I fainted because the gore was too much for me. I saw his bones full with blood suddenly cracking and his head had already disappeared as a half. He still screamed. When I woke up in the hospital I recognized my cutie mark had appeared. This is the Scythe here. If you look close enough you can see the skull in the background. That’s the story why I decided to discover methods for the common society to prevent those actions from happening.”
They arrived in the unknown land, which just had been invaded by the military of the United Governments of Earth. Nick felt bad for all those innocent, he wanted to say people, but he couldn't because the strange talking.... Pony on TV, Ponies. There hasn't been a single war for 15 years now. The human 'races' are now united and there were people representing their countries and continents in the United Government. Everything seemed to be perfect for the whole world. Peace was spreading, the count of burglaries and other crimes decreased immideatly and everyone was accepted as human being. Racism was frowned upon and it almost had been rotted out. Until an organisation called "The Regiment" got with politicians around the world in the parliament. While 14 years ago there only was one member of "The Regiment" in the UGE, 9 years ago already half of the UGE were members. 5 years ago, when Nick attended the University and met his only two friends, they already tried to overtake the UGE, but they failed, because the remain 20 countries were those with the strongest military and they would, even if all of them attacked one at the same time, have had to give up in a war. "The Regiment" is a nationalistic movement, which "fights for the freedom of its country". They are all patriotic and, mostly, old people, who all think that "in the good ol' days" everything was better. 2 years ago the patriots in the US, China, Germany and Russia got agressiv and more agressiv, so that in the end, those three mighty countries gave up and the last five remaining countries were invaded by the regime. Those five, Austria, Swiss, India, Haiti and Ghana stood their fight, but they were beaten quickly and the countries were disowned their own grounds, which were given to the "Holy Lands" under control of "The Regiment". Now this regiment tried to claim, again, of others for themselves. And he and his friends were part of it. He felt terrible about it and he was the one, who told his friends that he would only be a scout and not someone, who really has to kill innocent. They agreed, because they have seen the report of the underground organisation "Brony". Those who worked for "Brony" discovered it as a source of freedom and as obvious opposite to the regiment. They used the banners of "Love and Tolerance" in peaceful protests and tried to convince people that they live in wrong peace. They succeeded in many ways and they organised the biggest protest in history. The protest lasted for weeks and it almost seemed as if they would have accomplished something, but then the 4th July happened. This day is called the "Banishment to the Moon" within Bronies and as "Total Verdict" for The Regiment. With this day the leaders of the Brony-Rebellion died and Bronydom was considered illegal. With this day died over a million people. With this day freedom died i on earth. And now he was wandering through the "Country of the Bronies" the magical land of Equestria, which had been called "just fictional". Because it is a land full with peace, harmony and equality, it is something The Regiment hates. It only would prove those who are against them right. That's the reason, why the land either has to be under "Total Control" or has to be rubbed out of the map. No other choices. Now he and his friends were wandering through the world of another’s to destroy it. It didn’t felt right from the beginning and it would never do. The leader of the “Whispering Sands” Scout-Troop suddenly started to talk. He was huge and one of the toughest guys you will ever see. One of the most patriotic, toughest guys. “We are ordered to attack this fucking village down there with just our scout troop. They said it is evacuated, but I don’t fucking care! Those fuckers send US a motherfucking scout troop down to attack some random fucking village to kill every”pony” down there and make it a base!” “What are we goin’ to do sir?” Luke asked kindly, he didn’t want to piss of the leader any further. “Well attack tha fuckin’ city what else private?! Get there and kill every single piece of moving shit you see or I’ll make you meet the devil himself!” Nick felt helpless. He hoped that it has been totally evacuated. If not, he would be part of a massacre. As he thought his thoughts his mindreading friend said “This is war, you can’t escape blood, but you can escape your leaders.”

Chapter 2

Chapter 2
They started the motors of their cars and reloaded their ScarLight280. They started the almost not hear able motors of the “Rushers”, camouflaged jeeps with an ultra quiet motor and 2 silenced MG’s. As they reached the bridge into town there suddenly stood a Unicorn in front of them. It was heavily armoured and seemed to protect something. The car in front wanted to simply roll over it, when suddenly it was levitated and exploded in the air.”This is the town of The Great and Powerful Trixie! Nopony or other traitors shall come in!” With those last words the sniper, who was backing them up fired, but the shot just bounced of her shield. “Fuck this shit! Imma blow her up myself if you are to incompetent!” He took out the one and only rocket launcher we had, which should have protected us from helicopters or others and aimed right at her. The Pony Trixie just stood there self confident and suddenly started running towards the rocket. When the shield and the rocket met each other there was a huge explosion. Trixie was gone. But so was the Rusher#2 “Fuck this shit! Imma fuck this fucking town up!” The Leader raged and told Nick to rush into the house next to the bridge. As he got in he saw two little fillies sitting there scared and he suddenly heard a voice from the outside. “Aren’t you fucking ready yet? Fuck, you have to do everything by yourself.” Nick turned pale. He would kill those innocent children if he wouldn’t do something. He tried to think of something, but it was too late. “What the fuck takes you so long? And why haven’t you executed those guys in the corner yet? Do it already!” The leader shouted so loud that the two fillies scared to death crawled in a corner. He pointed the gun at the two, but he hesitated. “You don’t wanna? Okay imma do it myself!” The leader took out his gun and murmured “Everything to do by myself, fucking beginners.” Then he put his finger on the trigger. Then two shots were fired. Blood spread on the floor and touched Nick’s boots. He couldn’t believe what just happened.
Twilight was on her way home when suddenly her old rival Trixie appeared in front of her. She was surprised “You know teleportation?” “Yes, yes I know Twilight I am just a show-off. But I had to tell you something.” Twilight was surprised that Trixie suddenly talked normal. She changed a lot since she settled down to live her life as medical support. “You were right. They attacked SanStallio! Luckily you told us to evacuate. There are only three Ponies left in this town.” “Oh no what about them? Do they sacrifice themselves on purpose? Horseapples, why didn’t they leave?” Twilight was angry enough to activate her special magic abilities and Trixie knew that. She tried to calm her new-won friend down. “It is three Ponies don’t worry too much. You were able to evacuate thousands of Ponies; you can’t put those three on your buckle. They decided to stay there.” “Every single pony we lose in this war is a misery. The deaths before the war were only through accident and natural and never through weapons of enemies!” Twilight looked at her friend outrageous, but suddenly Applejack stood behind her. “Ah think you are goin’ a bit too far there fella” Twilight, still angry, knew that her friend always told her honest opinion and most of the times she was right with it. She knew for herself that she had gone too far. “I’m sorry Trixie. I’m a bit stressed because that’s the first war for 200 years now.” “The Great and Powerful Trixie accepts your excuse.” Trixie grinned and shouted while walking away. “Don’t lose hope my friend, you can beat the biggest enemy if you want to. I saw that happening more than once.”
Ann stood there with her Silenced DesertVolt. “Come on Luke come in quickly!” She whispered. She reloaded the gun and looked down at the dead body of the leader. “He deserved it, wanting to kill two innocents.” The two fillies looked up, wondering why they were still alive. Nick looked out of the window. “Damn it they are already looking for us!” The other two members of the scout trooped walked around when suddenly one of the turned around, pointed the gun at the other’s head and fired. “Hehe, good job Krakow.” Luke, who just got in said those words with such an impressive self confidence, that Nick wondered what the hell he had gotten into. “Chello, my name is Nikolay Krakow.” He got in and sat down. “Welcome to the Brony rebellion” He had a strong Russian accent and Nick thought that he had a very thoughtful and peaceful look in his eyes. He stood up and looked to the little fillies. “That was close.” “Would ya two mind if ya tell us your name?” Luke asked those two scared things nicely. “I am Heavy Rain and this is Cloud Rain.” The older one, a Pegasus, said. “And if you want to hurt her, I am going to fight you!” Nikolay laughed. You didn’t listen did you? We are part of a rebellion; we will protect you to get you of this village.” “But mommy is still out there!” White Cloud spoke very quiet and it was hard to understand her. Nick understood now. This rebellion was planned all the way back when his roommates came in to tell him about the discovery. Suddenly a voice came from the door. “Oh no, please don’t kill them. Kill me instead of them!” A Mare ran in and positioned herself in front of the two fillies. “Your war already took my son and my husband; you can’t take them from me!” She looked different from her foals. She didn’t have any wings. “Mom you can trust them. These humans just saved us from another, who wanted to kill us.” Nick got himself to say something. “We are part of the Brony-Rebellion and we are here to get you to a safe zone. “You can trust him momma he was told to shoot us and suddenly shot the one wanting to kill us.” He saw Ann reloading her gun, why would he, he didn’t even shot one time, he couldn’t remember when he shot or if he shot, be the one killing his leader. “Yes Nick you shot him Milliseconds before I could do it. You couldn’t accept some person with weapons killing someone unarmed and innocent like those two kids.” He was surprised of himself. He would do something like that? It seemed to be the right decision. “Ok then let’s get you three out of here. Please follow me Miss..?” “My name is Bounty Rain”. “Follow me then Miss Rain.”
“Any messages from SanStallio?” Lone Scythe never saw the six mares of harmony in such a helpless state. “My spies say that there seemed to be something like a revolt against the leader after they found two of the Ponies.” Rarity seemed to be the only one with a little bit of hope left. “Rainbow, darling, tell your spies to contact this group and maybe we will gain some very useful allies!” “They have lost them, because the vehicles they use are almost impossible to see from above.” Rainbow was upset about this fact. “Well I have big news for you. They headed for Canterlot.” “How can ya say that? How would ya know where they are headin’, if they got out of sight?” AJ interfered Rainbow and it was very unpleasant for her. “I was about to give you proof how I know it. Be a bit more patient! Gosh.” She put a CD in the next ‘Listener’: “Uhm, one question Bounty” “Yes Nick?” “Where should we head?” “Head to Canterlot, it may be the only save place now.” “Ann what the hell is on top of the car?” “I don’t know, I’ll take a look.......”. “I’m going to talk to the guards they will be let the vehicle in if there are three with the names “Ann, Bounty and Nick”. “They are already here.” “Princess Celestia!” The surprised Ponies bowed downed in front of her Majesty. “Me and my sister watched the character of those, who betrayed their own home to bring us peace again.” First it will be only them, but it will be more soon.” “Princess, we, we didn’t know you would join our conversation so quickly! But how did you analyse their personalities and what er they like?” The former student of Celestia was excited, because the analysis of a character would have been a spell, she never heard of before. “I didn’t use any spells to do that. I simply watched over their conversations, while they are waiting in front of the entrance. The one with the strange way to speak has a cheerful heart, which only beats for the freedom of all. The female one is logical, rational, but also has many different emotions at the same time. The blonde one is not the brightest, but he tries to cheer up his friend and never loses his hope, he was the most positive of them all. And the last one has the heart of a sun and a brain like a moon.”

Chapter 3

Chapter 3
The guards of Los Pegasus saw something strange. It was a metal cylinder with stiff wings flying through the sky. Actually it was three of them. They asked for information from Canterlot and got a quick answer. “Fast evacuation of Los Pegasus required. Guards will try to get the rainbow cannons on target.” They reacted quickly. The city was without civilizes in less than two minutes. Only the bravest guards hold position. They readied their cannons and aimed at the front plane. The attack of the “TR-Fighters”, that is how the Canterlot division of help called them, came quickly and unexpected. They fired and within 2 seconds the guards were decimated two the half. Scared by those mighty machines the guards activated the rainbow cannons. Now it was a hard fight for both sides. As the automatic, with a shield-spell surrounded, started to fire they, luckily, hit all on target. The first TR-F exploded in the air. Now it was the Pegasi’s turn, they decided to make an attack from the front, but it was the worst decision they could make. The TR-Fs were already able to get out of the rainbow cannons salve and just started firing as the Pegasi guards approached and those all fell. And with them did Los Pegasus. The last Pegasi guards trying to defend it suddenly saw those planes turning away from the city. Sure of their victory they celebrated and called Canterlot. “We’ve beaten them! They fly away scared of our power!” The one on the end didn’t seem to be happy about it. “Evacuate! Quick! Los Pegasus will fall!” “But we scared them off! Why should the town we saved fall now without any.....” “Oh by the beard of Celestia!” In the background were other Pegasi screaming. “Evacuate! Evacuate! A strange huge thing is approaching!” “What the hell is going on back there?” “Look Spiked! Can’t you see that huge thing in the air?” “Oh I can see that. What is that? The hay is it throw.....zrrrrrrrkkkk” And the clouds started falling to the ground.
The huge explosion was heard, seen and felt in the far away Canterlot. Lone Scythe, currently sitting in the waiting room, was thrown off the bench by the shockwave. The explosion would have blown his ears off his head if he didn’t hold them. Something like that happened to him before. It was a long time ago, but it felt as if it just happened yesterday. He was already trying to find the cure for all poisons back then, when the first and only accident with the teleporters happened. He awaited his old friend, Red Lily and special-somepony back then. She was coming to visit him, because he was working on a project far away back then. He was nervous for her visit the whole day and he couldn’t wait to see her after two long weeks. He never saw her. Not as a whole Pony. It was terrible, everything was right, but because something with the transmitter was wrong there was only one half of her getting out of the teleporter. The half where she had her bag, in which he found her presents for him and a card to ask him if he would want to be her husband. On the left side of the card was a flower. A beautiful flower, but it was full of blood. It was a red lily. He remembered this day as if it would have been yesterday, if just would have had the chance to travel back in time to tell her that he loved her, no still loves her! But what is gone is gone and what is fate can’t be changed. He remembered one more thing though. The guards told him that it looked like a cut of a scythe, which had cut her in half. This was mentioned only once, but it made him believe that it was his fault too. He saw Las Pegasus crashing. He counted in his heads how much of a chance they still had. There were only three bigger cities remaining: Hoofington, Ponyville and Cloudsdale. He didn’t count Canterlot because it should be the last chance of Equestria.
They asked questions. So many questions. They sat through the whole night only to answer the questions of the Pony calling herself Twilight Sparkle. They needed sleep badly, when suddenly Princess Luna came in and said, “Those who you call Bronies are now here.” “How many are there your majesty?” “Call me Luna, please, and there are about 50”. “That’s hardly enough. How many TR-Fs did they bring along?” Nikolay asked almost with fear in his voice. “I saw five. But one of them may not be functional, because it seemed heavily damaged after the landing.” Nick was lost in thoughts. How were they supposed to bring peace with war? But still it was their only chance, because the regiment would never make peace with those they hate. “Cloudsdale” Ann, Luna and Luke looked confused towards Lone, who just came in and Nick, because they said the name of the town at the same time. “They will attack Cloudsdale next.” “Why would they? It has the strongest flying army and they couldn’t invade it with their troops!” Rainbow Dash was upset with the idea that Cloudsdale would be next. “Rainbow your troops have won only one battle and the ammunition and weapons we got there, would hardly be enough for Canterlot to defend, so why not weaken Canterlot more, with a whole town falling on it?” Lone was right at some point. If they place the explosion at the right position it would catapult Cloudsdale towards Canterlot. “While we are fighting in Cloudsdale they are going to attack Hoofington and Ponyville. We have to let go of Hoofington better evacuate it now!” Suddenly the alarm started. “Enemy’s TR-F over Cloudsdale!” “We need to defend Cloudsdale and hold Ponyville at all costs! They are key points to Canterlot!” Nick shouted those words as he jumped in the Rusher and waited for the others to jump on it. After Nikolay and Ann suddenly Nick shouted something and instead of him Rarity, Applejack and Twilight jumped on.
Joe Clark was astonished with the way the war was going. He knew of the rebels in the Scouts and Flying troops, but he ordered to shoot every single unit, which hesitates to shoot the damned Ponies. His new Scouts, Pros this time, told him everything about the constellation of the four cities. “First we get Hoofington, but don’t send too many of our soldiers it would be a waste, if it is so bad defended. After we got that we need all of our TR-Fs and one BigBoy to hit Cloudsdale. But it is required, that the best pilot flies it, because we need to hit it right in the sweet spot. This would be this factory. If we do that the falling city will hit Canterlot directly, leaving not a single survivor there. Then we get Ponyville, which seems to be the most advanced one to take, but if we attack it during the attack at Cloudsdale, the troops there will be so confused, that it should be a kid’s game. And there’s one last thing. Shoot at every rebel you see, they are now classified as “Ponies”.” “Aye sir.” He felt pleased. He has accomplished everything he wanted in his life. He earns enough money to buy anything he wants. He will have much time for vacations after this easy won war. He ruined the dream of Bronies, who thought they will be saved by those who represent ‘Love and Tolerance’, and he did that in only three days. This night will be a glorious night he thought and it only was the third day.
