Solar Empire vs. Lunar Republic
It was a perfect spring day in Ponyville. Warm and temperate thanks to the dedication of Princess Celestia and the weather pegasi. Under the gentle sunlight the citizens of Ponyville contentedly went about their daily lives. Well, most of them at least.
Twilight Sparkle sat alone in her room. She wasn't quite sure how she should feel. She was a princess and was honored to be an Alicorn but at the same time she was concerned about how the royal duties would shape her life and how they would affect how much time she would be able to spend the with her friends. Nevertheless, the ponies of Equestria expected her to be a princess now and she wasn't going to let them down.
"Twilight, Twilight, are you almost ready? Spike shouted snapping Twilight out of her thinking, and back to reality.
"Yes, Spike. I'll be down in a minute."
Princess Celestia had called upon Twilight's friends to meet them at Canterlot. Apparently their has been a problem going on with an old artifact. Twilight rushed out the door along with Spike. On the way to the train station she had Spike make a list before they left to make sure they had everything they needed.
"All rights spike," Twilight said. "Ready?"
"Ready," Spike replied.
"The letters we have sent to Princess Celestia about friendship?"
"Check," Spike said, still carrying the heavy briefcase containing the countless messages about the magic of friendship.
"The books I had requested to read along the trip?"
"Check," Spike replied again.
"And finally, did you make sure that everypony has their Elements of Harmony with them?"
"Yep" Spike, said enthusiastically.
"Great." Twilight said looking a little sad.
"Twilight, what's wrong?" Spike asked, concerned.
"Nothing," Twilight said. "I'm just wondering why the Princess wanted us to bring the Elements along with us?" She was actually still a bit scared of being a Princess.
"I'm Not sure," Spike said, "but maybe it's just for precaution in case something bad happens."
"You're probably right," she said and she galloped along the train station. By the time she got there her friends were already there talking to each other.
"How are you Sugarcube?" Applejack asked. I must say those wings look good on you," she said in her cowgirl accent.
"Yes, I must say dear, you make a good princess," Rarity said. Twilight looked down. "Is everything all right, dear?" Rarity said, concerned.
"I'm fine," Twilight replied. "I'm just not sure how I should feel about this."
"What do you mean," Rainbow Dash said. "You're a princess."
"She's right, you know, Twilight," Pinkie Pie said enthusiastically. "Now that you're a Princess you get to do all sorts of cool things like be invited to royal parties, attend royal balls, have a royal tea party, get a big fancy coronation, and every pony will want to be your friend."
"I'm not so sure about all that girls," Fluttershy said timidly. Now that Twilight's a princess she'll have to give big speeches in front of a whole lot of ponies. It sounds terrifying." Fluttershy said shaking.
The five mares argued with each other before Twilight burst out, "Girls, girls, calm down. It's not that I'm not excited to be a Princess. I'm just afraid I'll let everypony down. Now that I'm an Alicorn, Equestria will have such high standards for me. They may even expect me to lead Equestria on my own someday. I'm just afraid of failing everypony."
"Sugar Cube you want fail, and don't worry your pretty little head. We'll all be with you by your side to help you." Applejack said.
This cheered up Twilight a bit. They all came together for a big group hug.
"All Aboard!!!"
They all got on the train with their luggage as quick as they could. Twilight was still a bit nervous being a Princess, but then her mind drifted off, and she began thinking about the strange artifact. From what she heard of the letters sent to her by Princess Celestia the artifact was found by some Royal Guards. It looked like a crystal, it was blackish, and it glows like something's within it. Twilight hoped that this artifact wouldn't cause any trouble. They've been through a lot. It would probably take them days to find out what this artifact was all about. Luckily Princess Celestia had some maids set up some rooms for them to stay in
A few hours later they made it to Canterlot. The sun was beginning to set. Some Royal Guards were waiting for them at the train station. They led them to the castle while some carried their luggage. The guard that carried Rarity's luggage was struggling to keep up. Twilight, Spike, and her friends headed to Canterlot castle. Many ponies were staring at Twilight still amazed that she was a Princess. Twilight didn't really like being admired. She misses when she was just a Unicorn, and ponies didn't give her a second glance. Finally they made it to Canterlot castle, and The Royal Guard's guarding the front door let them through. The Royal Guards carrying their luggage went to the guest rooms.
Twilight's friends gasped when they saw the inside of the castle. No matter how many times they've seen Canterlot Castle inside it still surprised them. Twilight lived in the castle for most of her life, so she was somewhat used to it still the castle was huge. Twilight knew that their were still some places in the castle that she hasn't even seen yet.
Finally, they made it to the throne room. Celestia, and Luna were circling a strange artifact. Also, a Unicorn was writing some notes while looking at it
"This is very interesting. I've seen strange things, but this is be far the most weirdest artifact I've seen." The Unicorn said.
Twilight coughed to get The Princesses, and The Unicorns attention.
"Twilight you're here, so are you're friends, and you lovely dragon assistant." Princess Celestia said. They all bowed. Then, she moved out of the way so they could see the strange artifact.
The artifact was glowing, and it looked like as if it came from the depths of Tartarus. Twilight went closer to it. When she got closer she heard whispers. Then, she heard a whisper come from it.
"Viva La Revolution."
"It's interesting isn't it." The Unicorn said right next to her face.
Twilight screamed a bit being freaked out by the Unicorn. He had a Green coat, Darker Green Mane, Blue Eyes, and his Cutie Mark was a Magnifying Glass. Twilight looked at him like he'd seen him before. "Do I know you?" Twilight asked.
"Some ponies do. I am Magnifier. I study many artifacts. I was the one that figured out those inscriptions code that Star Swirl the Bearded made to keep the door locked to hide his failed experiments.
"Oh, yeah I've heard of you. I've seen you in the magazines "Mysterious Weekly" Since you're hear I guess many other ponies have tried to figure what this artifact is all about."
"Correct Miss Sparkle."
Rainbow Dash went close to the element, and she heard a whisper as well. "The Lunar Republic."
"Whoa did any of you hear that."
"What are you talking about Rainbow." Applejack said getting closer to the artifact then she heard a whisper.
"Solar Empire."
"Landsakes what was that?"
Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Spike, And Fluttershy got close to the artifact, and instead of whispering the artifact let out a loud yell that everypony heard.
"Viva La Revolution!!!"
Fluttershy let out a whimper, and ran behind one of the Princesses. Pinkie Pie just stood their smiling.
"Ohhhh creepy voice." She said.
"My word what was that?" Rarity asked a bit scared, and Spike was hiding behind Rarity.
"Where not sure. It's been making those noises since some guards found it that night." Princess Luna said.
"It's interesting, so this is why we're here right." Twilight said.
"Yes, it is. I came yesterday, and I thought of an idea. The Elements of Harmony which you all hold may be able to open this artifact. It's a long shot yes. Still, I've done some crazy things in my life, but if it weren't for those crazy things I wouldn't have cracked so many secrets."
"Isn't that a bit dangerous though?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"We all believe it dangerous. However, we need to see what's inside that artifact cause every few hours it-"
Princess Celestia was cut off when the artifact began to shake, and the whole ground shook.
"Hit the deck!!" Magnifier shouted.
Everypony dropped to the ground.
*BOOM!!!*
The artifact let out a wave of color that looked blackish.
"It does that. Those waves are becoming more and more stronger. Which is why I called Magnifier. If he thinks the Elements of Harmony will open this artifact, and that it's a good idea. Then I believe him."
"Are you sure Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked.
"it’s the only lead we have."
With that being said Twilight, and her friends had their element with them. Twilight stared at the artifact. It was strange, but she had a feeling the artifact was staring at her. Even though it didn't have any eyes.
"Well...What are waiting for use your elements." Magnifier said smiling. He couldn't wait to see what was about to happen.
Twilight focused on the artifact, and so did her friends. Their elements began to glow, and aimed at the artifact. A beam shot at the artifact, and then the beam was consumed by the artifact. Then...Nothing.
"Nothing hap-"
*Zap*
Twilight was cut off when a beam shot straight at her.
"Aghhh!!!"
"Twilight!!" Her friends shouted.
"Oh, dear this is not good!!" Magnifier said.
"Twilight! Are you alright!!" Princess Celestia said.
"Guard's get help!!" Princess Luna shouted to the guards outside the door, and they ran to get help.
"Twilight!! No!!" Spike shouted.
All Twilight remembers is seeing everpony around her with faces of fear. Then blackness.
Solar Empire vs. Lunar Republic
Twilight rubbed her eyes. She felt like she just woke up. She looked around thinking she would see she was in the hospital because of the artifact shooting a beam at her. Instead she saw she was laying on an old dirty mattress, and she was in a desert valley. It was night. She got up, and fell right down.
My legs are like jelly. Hoofs feel numb. Mother of all headaches.
She got up a bit slower. She was in great pain, but she had to find out where she was. Twilight saw a sign on the ground. She wiped the dust off the sign. The sign said pis off. It was spelled wrong. Then Twilight saw something in the distance. A Unicorn Stallion. He looked like he was injured. She went up to him.
"Somepony help me.." He groaned in pain.
Twilight looked at the pony. She realized that the pony looked like a pony that lived in Ponyville...It was Comet. "Hey are you okay?" Twilight asked him. She saw some blood leaking from the Stallion's head. Then Twilight realized it wasn't blood it was paint. "Hey you're not injured!!" Twilight shouted.
Comet jumped up. "Ha Ha you feel for the old pretend to be hurt to play on pathetic, and sympathy trick!! Only to leap out an ambush making whoever you catch feel stupid trick!!"
Out of nowhere three ponies came out wearing dark armor, and holding guns aiming at Twilight. Twilight tried to fly away, but fell. Then she looked at her back. She didn't have wings anymore. She was a Unicorn again. The ponies got closer to her.
Twilight gulped.
"She doesn't look like a Solar Ally. She's probably a Peace Fighter." One the Ponies said.
"Well she doesn't look like much of a threat, but she's got a nice flank." A Pony said behind her.
"Maybe she can be tonight's entertainment. It's always night where we live." Another Pony said.
Twilight was scared the ponies surrounded her. Then all of sudden Twilight heard a noise like it came from a silencer. One Pony fell to the ground dead.
"Were being ambushed. It's an ambush on an ambush!!" Comet shouted.
The Ponies tried to fire where they thought the shooter was. Another gunshot killed Comet. Another one got a Pony in the heart. He struggled to stay up, but feel dead to the ground.
"Viva La Revolution!!" The last Pony alive said only to be shot in the neck. He was gushing out blood. He looked at Twilight and tried to ask for help, but all that came out of his mouth was. "Auck!! Auck!!" Then he feel to the ground leaking blood.
Twilight was horrified. She screamed at the top of her lungs. Suddenly, a Unicorn wearing a camouflage suit that looked like he was part of the ground got up behind her. He was covering his whole body. He grabbed her, and covered her mouth.
"Quiet there could be more Lunar Revolution Fighters around!!" The Unicorn shouted.
Twilight was still trying to scream. The Unicorn has no other choice.
"Sorry about this." The Unicorn said. Then he knocked Twilight out.
Twilight woke up on a comfortable mattress. She heard a sound of a fire. She turned to the noise and saw a Unicorn in front of the fire. He was making soup. He had a White Coat, a Brown Mane, Brown eyes, and His Cutie Mark looked like a scope you would find on a sniper.
"I know your awake. Good afternoon." He said.
"W- Who are you?" Twilight asked.
"Names Quick Scope." He said grabbing a bowl, and filled it with soup. "I'm sorry I had to kick you out back there, but we were on enemy lines. They would have heard us."
"Enemy lines. What are you taking about? Where are we?" Twilight asked confused.
"Right now, we're in Whitetail Woods. At least what's left of it. Really, you're acting weird. I mean hello. What were you thinking falling for the oldest trick in the book I mean really like Welcome to Lambda."
"What's Lambda?"
"The world were living in. I mean really do you not know anything! How stupid are you!" Scope shouted.
"Well.."
"Wait do you know about the war going on."
"Their's a war going on!!" Twilight shouted.
"Okay. We're are you from, and who are you?"
"My name is Twilight Sparkle. I'm from a world called Equestria. My world is living in peace. Princess Celestia rules it with her sister Princess Luna. Now what about you."
Scope looked at her like she was crazy. "Okay I don't believe you, but if what you say is true then welcome to the opposite of your world Lambda. This world Princess Celestia used to rule until Nightmare Moon returned after her thousand years’ exile. When she returned, she fought Celestia, and tried to bring eternal night. Instead they fought, and many Ponies decided to fight to help Celestia. However, some ponies loved eternal night, so other ponies helped Luna. Now the battle between Celestia and Luna became a revolution. The Solar Empire vs. The Lunar Republic."
Twilight was surprised. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What about The Elements of Harmony."
"Those pieces of shit have been lost for many years!!" Scope shouted scaring Twilight. "I'm sorry I shouldn’t shout you're hurt. Here." He gave a bowl of soup to Twilight.
Twilight's stomach growled. She was hungry, and began to eat the soup. She also finally saw she had bandages on her body. Scope did a pretty good job patching her up. "I come from somewhere different. If this worlds in a war what side are you on."
"The Peace Fighters. We fight to maintain peace."
*Knock! Knock!*
"Ummm...Scope may I come in."
"Oh crap that's our leader." Scope said.
Twilight knew that voice. The door opened, and Twilight couldn't believe her eyes.
"Scope I heard rumors you brought a Mare with you when you came back to the base." A yellow Pegusas with a sweet calming voice said.
"Fluttershy!!" Twilight shouted.
