sorry it took so long but here it is

tyranny and honor

What I heard. It disgusted me, how could one so caring turn so against her own people like that, and how could she do what she did to the other countries and sleep at night,

Back on terra many centuries ago something like this happened, but on a much smaller scale, it was called the Holocaust, and what she did it made Hitler look like a whining baby. She didn't just commit genocide, but also xenocide. Entire species wiped out. Where now lies the badlands, once was a metropolis empire, where all were welcomed.

“That bitch,” 7 said lowly

By the time night had finished talking she, Onix, and ebony were lying on some makeshift beds. Onix and ebony slept through the story

(what! But the princess would never do that!!)

(twi, I’ve seen what she will do to protect “harmony”)

(wa-but, rainbow,)

(no buts, buts are for sitting)

“I have worked for the crown for 18 years, i saw how she treated her sister, like nothing but garbage,” night said with tears in her eyes “and then when she killed princess Luna, her own sister, to take the crown she started killing off any that had a dark coat, saying that they were touched by nightmare moon, and as such evil”

“Hey hey don’t cry, I’m here I’ll keep you safe. Actually, tell you what I’ll make a promise to you and your line” I said with all the care I could pump in

“W-What do you mean?” night asked

“I mean I sally of the dreadnoughts, will from this day forward protect you, your children, and they’re children, till my dying spark.”

Night was left speechless, but that didn’t last, “no. not just us promise me you will guard anypo- no anyone that falls in the sights of Celestia!”

I looked at her, though to anyone else it would have looked like she was yelling at a wall, I mean I REALLY looked at her, and what I saw looking back, was Beverly, the only human who acted like a mother to us back when all dreadnaughts were one,

(you mean O.D.I.N. right?)

(very good rainbow, so you were paying attention in class)

(duh)

Etherways I then said to her “I would not have it any other way”

------------------------------------------------------{time skip 23 years}------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All was going well when I made that promise I started work on ‘arkadia’ a place where all were safe from Celestia. There were a few close calls, but it was a good thing I could still move, I had the M.C.D.’s build me a set of tracks so I could move away from the crash site, we made more and more improvements as we went and got more people, now we had over 150 people aboard, including one former commander hurricane dash, who was half thestral, so she ran to the fabled city/me,

At this time we were traveling across the badlands, and had recently picked up some minotaurs who for a lack of better words, were badass, there society worked on who was strongest, and that came in handy when Celestia came to wipe them out like she did with the araknie.

(araknie?)

(Spider pony’s twi, spider pony’s)

(eek!!)

Onix had grown into a beast of a stallion, while ebony matured into probably the nicest mare aboard. Onix had gotten some battle scars from Celestia's soldiers, and every time ebony would yell at him for it. But on this day celestia would try again but would somewhat succeed.

“We need more ammo for the starboard guns!” Onix shouted over the thunder of the war around us

“On it!” yelled iron nail a minotaur smith

‘Click’” damn! Out! main cannon out!!” yelled hurricane

Celestia had sprung a surprise attack on us, we were just restocking on iron and titanium, when she unleashed an explosive on my tracks as such I was immobilized till we could fix it, which she did not seem to want to let that happen, as she had brought dragons to this fight,

“I don’t care if you load porgs in it! Just shoot those things!” shouted ebony as she wrapped bandages on her boyfriend a griffon named Ivan Grimclaw

“Sally! we need more power in port cannon 4!”

“I’m givin' her all I got capin’”

“What?”

“Nothing”

‘wherrr-thoomp!’” dragon down!!” yelled Onix

“About fucking time!” said ebony

From there it was easy to take out who was left, but it seemed Celestia had other ideas

“YOU WILL PAY MONSTERS!” she roared at us as she pulled something out of her armor, 6 gems each a different color, she wasted no time at all to charge them up and before we knew it we were being hit by a rainbow

(and no not me,)

(we know she means the elements)

(good)
