New guy at CHS: The next generation

Quartz eyes fluttered open as he glanced at his surroundings, "Where am I...?" Quartz stood up slowly, and instantly felt a shiver down his spine, "It's cold as all living hell...," He glanced around once more to see a barren, snowy wasteland, "Where are we?" He looked to see if his siblings were awake, and none of them were there. In fact, he didn't see... any of them, "Huh?"

Meanwhile, Silver and the rest of her sisters awoke in a cabin of some sort. Silver was the only one awake, and the cabin was somewhat empty. Apart from her sisters, there was another man inside. He was watching outside, possibly on look out.

"Excuse me?" Silver spoke, which caused the man to look at her.

"You're awake. That's good... it's a pleasure to meet you acquittance your majesty...," The man bowed before her. However, Silver was curious about where she was, and how this man was dressed.

"Wait, I'm not a queen or anything."

"But you're the emperor's daughter, correct? You're still royalty. Either way, I don't know why you're here...," He trailed off as he scanned outside, "this place is a warzone."

"What do you mean? Where are we?"

"Ah, that should've been expected."

"What are you talking about?"

The man sighed as he stood turned to her direction, "I have been rude, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Platinum Storm. I'm a freedom fighter for this nation in the mystic realm."

"Huh? Which nation is that?"

"The forgotten nation. The nation of Uskain."

"Uskain? I thought that nation was destroyed decades ago..."

"It was, but after it was rebuilt, it was lost in the sands of time. The reason for that was because our nation, once it was rebuilt, decided to become it's own type of world. It broke away from the rule of the mystic realm, and became independent. Our leader decided that it was her chance to rule with an iron fist. She doesn't help people of the lower class, and only caters to those of a higher rank in society. Which is why, the nation is in the middle of a civil war."

"Civil war? How come we've never heard of this?"

"Your father wanted nothing to do with this civil war. He didn't want to take part in it. He didn't want to fight for either side. However, he did want to help the resistance, but the vote ended in favor of staying out of it."

"Whose decision was that?"

Platinum stood silent for a second, and glared at Silver, "Your mother..."

"What?"

"Look, I don't know why you're here, but you shouldn't be here. This place is chaotic, and many resistance dislike Cobalt a lot. If they get news that his kids are here, it could turn into pandemonium. Wait, where's your brother?"

"Huh? Wasn't he there with us?"

"No, it was just your sisters," Silver looked around as a look of fear grew on her face, "No...," Platinum stood up, and walked over to a nearby closet, "If he's out there in that barren wasteland, he won't survive long. If the cold doesn't kill him firat, then the government's army will..."

Silver feared the worst for her brother, and she was right to be in fear.

Meanwhile, back where Cobalt and his friends laid lifeless, they awoke to see their once lively town into a town of destruction. Cobalt slowly stood up as he glanced at the destruction.

"There's no way just anyone could've done this...," He trailed off as he glanced at his wives who were all unconscious on the ground. He ran to them to check their vital signs, "Their bodies aren't like us mystics. They don't have healing factors. I hope they're alright..."

Cobalt soon heard Rarity cough before slowly rising up, "Ugh, darling?"

"Rarity!" Cobalt tackled Rarity for a hug.

"Cobalt, where are the kids?"

"I teleported them away from this area-."

"To where?" Cobalt fell silent as he stared at the ground, "Cobalt, darling. Where. Are. They?" Cobalt looked at her, and parted his mouth.

...

...

...

"WHAT?!"

Back with Quartz, he glanced at his surroundings, and saw a large runway of some type, "A runway? Am I near some type of airport of some type? This means I'm on-."

"Halt right there?" Quartz turned around to see multiple men in kevlar vests, and rifles surrounding him.

"I'm definitely not in the mystic realm.

"Well, well, well, looks like the emperor finally sent some help for our Queen."

"Okay, scratch that..."

"Hm, ah, it's his incompetent son. That's not much help," Quartz got angry at that comment, but he soon stopped to think.

Wait, he knows I'm the son of Cobalt, but they don't have weapons that our own army uses. I know for sure they don't have powers. I doubt Earth knows of his kids...

"Oh, that seems about right that Cobalt didn't tell his kids about our nation. Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are soldiers of the Queen of Uskain."

"Uskain? That nation that became it's own world decades ago?"

"Oh, so you know of that? That's good. Well, do you know of the civil war here?"

"Civil war?"

"Why yes, and we requested help from your father to help our queen. However, your mother and her friends all voted against helping us or the resistance. They said they wanted no part in this. And now we hear that they're being attacked. Would've been nice to have some help from us now isn't it?"

"Wait, if you're all mystics, why are you using firearms?"

The lead soldier held up his rifle, snd laughed, "We realized that ancient warfare was just too barbaric. Once we created these, it made the war easier. Well, that was until some of the Resistance got their hands on some of our firearms. However, if you're here, your sisters will be here too. But where are they?"

"I was with them not long ago..."

"Hmph, perhaps we can help you find them. If they're out in that snowy wasteland, then they won't survive long. That's not if the Resistance finds them first. The Resistance soldiers are barbaric. You better hope they don't rape them before we find them, huh?"

Quartz stepped back and balled his fist fiercely, "They wouldn't let that happen. I know they wouldn't. They're too strong for that..."

"You say that now, but those Resistance soldiers are relentless..."

The thought of his sisters being raped flooded his mind. He shook his head as he looked at them, "Alright, please help me find them."

"Very well, sorry for giving you a scare there. We just can't take risks. We know the trouble your family is in, and we would like to help you," Quartz nodded as he stared at their leader, "You can call me Captain Wrinkles. We're part of the elite task force team known as the Covert Division. We're stationed out here in this barren wasteland. We know this place like the back of our rifles. We'll find your sisters in no time."

Quartz stayed silent as he followed the captain to the base close by. The only thought that crossed his mind... was the thought of his sisters being raped by anyone...

Back with Cobalt and his wives, Cobalt was kneeling in front of his wives, who were looking at him with fierce glares, "I know all of you are mad at me, but it takes them all way from this."

"And sending them to Uskain is any better?! There's a reason we voted against taking part in their civil war Cobalt!" Rarity retaliated.

"And where else would I send them?! Earth?! That'd be the first place these hooligans would check. It's best if we send them somewhere not even known to the public...," Cobalt looked at the destruction around him. and he sighed in frustration, "I don't know who's causing this, but my gut is telling me that Harmony is making her move."

"What are we to do? We don't know the size of Harmony's army. And judging by the destruction here, and possibly all over the mystic realm... she could have an army that surpasses even ours...," Everyone nodded in fear that Harmony's army could out match their highly trained army.

"This can't be done by Harmony and her army alone. She must've gotten some help from a much more dangerous enemy. The question is... who?"

"Who you may ask?" A weird, dragon-like creature floated to them. One individual accompanied him, and that individual was Harmony, "Greetings friends!"

"Harmony..., and... Discord?"

"Discord?" The girls questioned him, and he looked at them in confusion.

"Haven't Princess Twilight told you about him? I know for sure she told you about Discord Sunset..."

"Yeah, she has. Discord is the spirit of chaos and disharmony who once ruled over the realm of Equestria."

"What?" The others ask in shock.

Cobalt then continued for Sunset, "He was imprisoned long ago, but broke free only to be imprisoned again. Then, Princess Celestia gave him a chance to be reformed. So my question is: Why are you here in the mystic realm? Has the power of friendship left your brain?"

"Oh, well, many would be angry that this is happening. Probably the folks reading this, but I must concur that my actions here are not of friendship..., but of chaos and entropy."

"You just broke the fourth wall, and used two words that have the same meaning. You're quite the sickening man," Cobalt then glanced at Harmony, "And I see you have a friend with you."

"Oh Cobalt my dear, I'm so glad to see how well you've grown. You look extremely handsome...," Harmony said seductively.

"Oh my he does. You weren't kidding when you said he was handsome."

Cobalt looked on in disgust as he stepped back. He prepared to retaliate at any given moment, "So, you plan to spread chaos once again huh? Hmph, wait until Princess Celestia hears about this..."

"I'm afraid, that won't be happening anytime soon. For you see," Soon, the pony versions of the girls appeared around them. They were lead by the Princesses of Equestria. Twilight, Luna, Cadence..., and Celestia, " I'm not alone..."

Surrounding the city were multiple banners of other family crests. Discord chuckled as he flew up, "I would love to see how this turns out for you, but I must spread more chaos throughout the mystic realm. Harmony, do show our friends here a good time. Ta-ta!"

Discord was soon off, leaving Harmony with our heroes, "Princess Twilight, Celestia... all of you. What's going on here Harmony?"

"I have no clue, but I was promised you. Oh, and those girls to be burnt at the stake."

Cobalt stood in front them as if he was an impenetrable wall, "That won't be happening. If you're taking me prisoner, then keep them alive and well. Leave them out of this."

"To be honest, the only one I want dead...," She shot a glare at Rarity, "is you Rarity," Cobalt held Rarity behind him, angering Harmony, "Get away from him!" She charged towards them, and they got ready to fight for their lives.

Meanwhile, back with Silver, her sisters were still out, and she was speaking to Platinum about finding Quartz, "If we're finding your brother, he shouldn't far from us. It may be a longshot, but I feel as if government soldiers have already found them. Hopefully, the right ones..."

"Right ones? What do you mean?"

"There are some government soldiers that don't necessarily like how the Queen rules. They don't like her terrible way of treating the people."

"So they secretly help the resistance?"

"Correct that's how we have these," Platinum held a handgun up, and pointed it at Silver.

"That's a..."

"I know. These are banned from the mystic realm, but since we're our own government, it's a daily necessity here," He put it away as he glanced outside again, "I don't want to teach any of you how to use one. I'm pretty sure all of you are trained in combat, correct?"

"Yes."

"Alright, if they found him, they'll try to train him, and have him blend in with the army. When he's earned the trust of the Queen and her officials, he'll be brought to us."

"Wait, how long does that take?"

"Depending on his charisma and ability in combat, it may take a few months."

"Months?!" Platinum placed a hand on her mouth as voices began to speak.

"Did you hear that? I think I'm hearing things now..."

"There's alway soldiers parole here. The last thing I need is to be found out. Luckily, these soldiers are idiots. They'll leave once night rolls around. For now, you're all stuck here," Platinum moved his hand away, and moved back on watch.

"What? Can't we just teleport to the Queen, and end her reign?"

"Because...," Platinum trailed off as he glanced at his hand, "magic no longer works here in Uskain anymore..."
