Prologue: The Fall
I have been in hiding for almost two years now. Why did this happen? Why would HE want to rule Equestria like this?
First, let me introduce myself to you all. My name is Copper Strikes. I am an Earth Pony, though with what I'm able to do, you may think that I'm a unicorn. That's not the case. When I was young, long before the takeover, I discovered a book that contained spells specifically made for us Earth Ponies to use. I asked my family about it, and they told me that 1000 years ago, my ancestors have been gifted with the ability to possess magic like the unicorns. What they said the reason for that, was that back then, they were sick of being constantly belittled by the "nobles" that were the unicorns in Canterlot, so they took it upon themselves to find a way to show that they were just as good as Pegasi and unicorns. They requested help from a pony named Starswirl the Bearded, and he obliged, telling them that he would be interested in seeing such magic done by Earth Ponies. And over 1000 years later, it's still going on, and I am the only one able to do what my ancestors did a millennium ago.
I was living my normal life in Ponyville, having a part-time job that is delivering mail to other ponies in my town, when the takeover happened. Everypony was running in fear. The town was destroyed, and all the unicorns had their horns literally cut off of them. I had no choice. I had to run... well, fly to be more precise. I flew to a completely separate nation, where I was forced to live in hiding for the last two years of my life.
Then my life did a complete turn around a mere day later. I managed to find a newspaper regarding the Fall of Equestria, and I was HORRIFIED. My own land, my whole life that I once had, was no more. And what was worse, all the mares in Equestria, but hopefully save for a few that have escaped, have been turned into complete sluts. I was in tears, in agony even. I had so many questions. Why did this happen? Who in their right mind would allow this to happen? Who was responsible for this?
What I saw next was the final straw before the camel collapsed. I saw a fucking photo of the Princesses bowing to the monster who was the one taking over my land. The very sight of my beloved Princesses being victim to this fueled my hatred for the monster. I crumbled up the newspaper, and in my fury, I went to the nearest cliff in the country I was in, and vented my anger out. I was screaming, cursing my lungs out, and I even punched the ground. I vented EVERY SINGLE fiber of hatred out of me until I couldn't do it anymore. Then the sun shone upon me, and I realized what I had to do. I had to fight. I had to take back Equestria. The one who has done this will SUFFER. I will make sure Equestria returns to its' rightful glory, by sending him to where he belongs... HELL.
So in the next two years of my life, I have trained non-stop. I have done every bit of training I can think of to make myself as strong as I can get. I would not stop training until I knew I was ready. I learned many techniques in those two years, more offensive than defensive, but I knew defense was key to saving my land. I have gotten much faster, much stronger physically and magically, and my intellect for battle has much improved. I am now only a few inches shorter than Princess Luna, and I am more bulky than you can imagine.
I was now ready to take on the hell that would be my former land of Equestria. I will not stand for this anymore. I will fight until my last breath, or until Equestria is taken back. I will do everything in my power... you know what? I'm not going to go any further, because I figure that it's too much of a cliche. But I am ready to take back my home land, so I'll leave it at this.
