The last human war

“We come together

To unite as one

Against those that are damned

We show no mercy

For we have none”

DMC 4, Shall Never Surrender

New York City, present day

Honey Bun smiled, looking at the approaching city. She was flying at her average speed, alongside with the group of ten ponies. The rest of them waited for her command.

Her group was playing the role of scouts. Their objective was clear: annihilate the population, suppress possible resistance and demolish every single human construction, whether it’s a building, bridge, road, or anything else.

She looked back, watching her mates. Three unicorns, five pegasi, the rest are earth ponies. Not that it mattered too much, nowadays. Flight was a mundane task for each tribe, regardless of circumstances.

“Alright, we’re getting close! Stay behind me and land at the same area. Then, we’ll start our mission.” Honey Bun shouted loudly, heading to the nearest landing zone: Battery Park, right next to open water.

After a few more seconds of flying, the earth pony could already see a lot of humans resting there. There were also lots of kids: a school trip of some sort, or so it seemed.

She grinned brightly and focused all her energy. And then Honey Bun dived down sharply at extreme hypersonic speed of 30 M.

Within a fraction of a second, a huge shockwave from her landing literally swept away everything in the 300-feet radius. The crater she now stood in was filled with blood and gory mess: crushed heads, fingerless arms, bleeding bones and twisted bodies, straight from the anatomical freak show.
Other ponies landed near her, shaking their hooves in disgust; they weren’t too fond of standing in the pool of the enemy’s blood.

“Welcome to New York City, everypony!” Honey Bun exclaimed.

“They call this… place a city? Seriously? It looks like a pile of dirt with humans.” One of the ponies shivered, trying not to look at her surroundings.

“Heh, you wouldn’t believe what they call a city. This place isn’t the worst, for your information. There are much more horrible places with the same title. Humans there live like some sort of insects. Like ants in a hive, actually. Just ants don’t make that kind of a mess in their home. Humans on the other hoof...”

“Yeah yeah, we get it. Please, don’t continue, I don’t want to lose my breakfast”

Honey Bun shrugged and switched to another topic.

“Anyway, our main objective is to clean this place from humans and their traces. I don’t think it’d be too hard, once we’re ready.”

She nodded to the others and they spreaded out, walking north to commit purification.

Honey Bun encountered some resistance at first. Some cops were aiming at her and shouting, then started to shoot. She just chuckled, observing how bullets were hitting her body and ricocheting all other the place, unable to pierce skin.

“For how long exactly do you plan to shoot? Your weapon is just as useless, meaningless and grotesque as your lives. ”

Not waiting for a response, Honey Bun leaped forward, ready to attack.

She landed near them and immediately ripped one cop apart, with the speed that wasn’t recognizable by human eye. Just a second ago, a healthy, 180-pound male was standing on the street. And now, the only things that’s left of him were bloody bits, scattered around the place.

The other police officer fell down, desperately shooting at her.

Honey Bun grabbed him by the throat, laughing at his weak attempts to lose her grip.

“Our bodies are the pinnacle of perfection. Yours… are so, so many leagues behind... No power, no magic, nothing. Only brute, primal physical strength that wasn’t even enhanced! Do you really think you can with a battle against us?”

With those words she relentlessly squeezed life out of him.

“Look at yourself; can’t even hold your wastes inside. So disgusting.”

Honey Bun threw out the cadaver and trotted down the street to the heart of NYC.

Canterlot, a week ago

Honey Bun was pacing back and forth nervously as she waited for an audience with the Princess. She arrived several hours ago, but even now she couldn’t make a clear plan of how to talk with Celestia. There were only segmental monologues and several dozens of random words here and there. She wasn’t the best orator. Truth to be told, she hated that, preferring actions over words. But not today. Today this won’t work.

“Honey Bun! Why did you request an audience with me?”

The earth pony nearly jumped from surprise. She was so deep in her thoughts that didn’t even hear Celestia.

“Your Highness...” She muttered and bowed to her ruler.

Honey Bun was ready to explain the purpose of her visit, but under the direct gaze of the
Princess, it was harder than she thought it would.

“I’m here to offer my services, Your Majesty. Many ponies have heard about the… humans, and the resentment they bring. We already so their homeworld, if it could be called like that.

I don’t think that anyone would be able to stand it. Humans have corrupted themselves so much, that there’s no good in them left, at all. The darkness they bring with them is almost visible.

I understand that you don’t want to use purification mean, because it’s the last option available, but… I think the time has come. After everything we saw, after everything they told us… It’s time to purify that planet once and for all.”

Princess Celestia was silent, listening this speech. She already knew Honey Bun’s proposition, because it was known by practically anyone who pays attention to news.

Honey Bun was the first pony to call humans incorrigible and proposing purification of them. At first, she was in minority, but with time ponies started to join her. And now, it was a huge organization with hundreds of thousands ponies.

“As you know… as everypony knows… I rarely use the drastic measures. I prefer diplomatic solution. But in case with humans… I’m afraid that you’re right. After all they did to themselves and to their planet, no longer can they be considered intelligent.”

She raised her voice and looked at the secretary who immediately started to write down a new law.

“From here on out, I declare that humans from planet Earth should be eliminated. Vanish every single trace of them, leave no clue that they even existed. Ponies are free to take any action possible. I, Princess Celestia, declare it, and my word is a law!”

She nodded to the secretary and turned to Honey Bun.

“There is a human delegation in my castle. You know what to do.”

The earth pony smiled and bowed.

“It’d be my pleasure, Princess.”

A few days later, humans who lived near the portal saw something extremely gruesome and horrible. There were several corpses, turned inside out and wrapped up in their own skin, as if it was a paper bag.

Only several hours after that, pathologists were able to identify bodies. They belonged to diplomats from several countries, who went with a mission to Equestria.
