A Displaced Lich

Twenty minutes after the attack Celestia, Twilight, and the rest of the mane six stepped out of the Canterlot Castle vault, Celestia and Twilight having a bubble shield around them to protect them in case of an attack they saw the horrors that had been inflicted upon Canterlot.

Fluttershy puked, then fainted when she saw ponies blown up or with their eyes and mouths foaming a pink foam that let wisps of smoke into the air, while the rest of the mane six, and even Celestia despite having white fur, all paled at the sight of dead guards, storm creatures, and civilian ponies all laying dead in the street while Aj and Rainbow Dash stared in shock, Rarity caught sight of a dead Blueblood however and slightly smiled before she quickly stopped before she was noticed by her friends, at this point Celestia was no longer sad however, she was livid that this would happen to her ponies, her city, her kingdom, it was supposed to be the safest place in the world yet all that has been happening lately was death and chaos, and she had no damned clue where the hell Discord had gone off to, so she couldn't even ask him for help.

Canterlots foundation shook and vibrated slightly, showing just how much damage had been done to the supports that had been magically fused into the mountains rock and soil, Celestia turned to the mane six. "Girls, I think you all know what this means, this is the last time I will stand an attack on Equestrian soil and its ponies, I am going to call a meeting with the other kingdom rulers to see if I can gather their support if Equestria is to go to war, because if we are I am afraid we might be facing two technological superpowers who's military might will outclass anything we might have, and we might be facing the Caribou as well, I am sure their one attack they did would not be their last, you are to stay in Twilights castle, as that is where the meeting will be taking place, due to the poor state of Canterlot, while repair ponies repair and fix the city and foundation itself, you may go now, I will teleport you all to Twilight's castle." Celestias horn lit up in a yellow glow and with a small flash the mane 6 had teleported into the main hall of Twilights castle.

Twilight sat on the floor with a worried look, her friends following suit. "War...something that has not happened for over a THOUSAND YEARS might be happening soon, do you know what this means girls?"

Fluttershy shook her head, as did Rarity and Pinkie, while Rainbow Dash stood up. "Yeah I know what this means, a chance for revenge against that fucker who ruined my life, took my wings, and took away my friend!"

Applejack shook her head. "Calm down their sugar cube, ya'll wanna end up like Daring did? I don't say that to piss ya off none, but you saw what he did to her himself with that fancy shooter o his, and that was when he was alone, who knows what kinda allies or minions he's gotten since then, ya'll can't just rush off for revenge the second ya find out where the varmint is RD, ya gotta think about us, not just yerself."

Rainbow thought for a few moments. "Alright Aj, I'll stay cool, for now at least." Rainbow sat back down.

Rarity was the one to speak up after a few seconds of silence. "So what does going to war exactly mean for Equestria itself darling?" She looked at Twilight.

"It means that our Equestrian way of life is at stake! if we go to war as we are now we will be crushed, and keep in mind thats with me calculating that all non hostile kingdoms take up arms and join Equestria in the fight."

Celestia teleported in, with her the rulers of the other kingdoms, they all walked into the main meeting hall of the castle and sat down.

Twilight and her friends waited, for about an hour before Celestia walked out with a grave look on her face. "We are at war, with two Empire's and one is barely known to us, you are to defend Ponyville with your shield bubble spell Twilight, unicorn guards will be sent to boost it when needed along with pegasi to keep the skies clear, any supplies you ask for will be granted."

Celestia teleported out, taking the other rulers with her without giving Twilight a chance to reply, Twilight, along with her friends all looked to be in complete shock, while meanwhile ponies, elsewhere, were enjoying their new lives within a new and powerful empire, of which the likes the world had never seen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Griffin Empire----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A public barbecue was going on, ponies, griffins, and any other species that had wanted to join was welcome, it was a celebration on the victory at Canterlot, thestrals, earth ponies, and griffins were all enjoying some good food and drink, even though the earth ponies did not eat meat, there was still grilled vegetables and other items for them to eat as well, strangely enough even Luna was enjoying a chicken leg with her beer.

A grey and white earth stallion walked up to the table and grabbed a bear before headed back to his buddy, a yellow thestral with green eyes. "So, life here as I have seen in the past week or so living here is much better than the sad shitshow back in Equestria eh pal?" He handed his friend a unopened beer.

Taking the beer the thestral grinned as it was swiftly opened and its contents drained. "You said it Wolf, that place was a shitshow in more ways then one, now we don't have to go to a speak easy for booze and I can eat meat in the open without fear of my business license being revoked cause some stupid nobles can't handle a little blood."

Wolf nodded and grabbed a small tart from the table of goodies and took a bite. "Yeah, and now I'm not trapped on my own land tryin to keep the timberwolves and greedy pegasi out, damned pegasi kept tryin to demand I pay them when I had installed an automatic sprinkler system! kept goin on about 'tradition' and all that crap, I know the difference between tradition an greed, they just got to greedy, ah reckon thats why most earth ponies moved up here to this fancy empire, less restrictive laws, taxes are no more than 50 bits a year from what I've read in the lawbooks these griffins are printin for all to read, and its a rather short book in all honesty, unlike Equestria where they got 50 laws on the taxation of lettuce, ya'know what I mean rocky road?" Wolf drowned his own beer, happy that he did not have to hide his liking for the stuff like he had back home.

Rocky nodded. "Yeah I know what ya mean, and thanks to these griffins not really havin many shops around before we showed up my ice cream shop is boomin! griffins seem to like chocolate the most and sometimes raspberry, gonna have to look into findin more milk to make the ice cream soon since the cows up here don't produce as much as the ones back in Equestria do, but that is a small price to pay for more freedom if ya ask me." Their conversation went on for awhile till the small party ended, and I grinned looking upon a rather old addition to the castle, a missile silo.

Now, as said before I was not gonna wish for nuclear weapons, however I had found something interesting in a book about alchemy, dark matter, and no not the kind that can destroy the universe if it comes into contact with matter, thats anti matter you morons, but this, was pure evil, it was something you could brew up, with enough hard work, and it would destroy ANYTHING it touched, just a drop of the stuff could turn an entire building to liquid, making bone, metal, wood, anything, melt away as if it had never existed, so when I had found this I asked Prismo for something awhile back, short ranged ICBM's that had dark matter warheads, I had to specify what I meant about dark matter, and when I did I laughed with joy when this silo popped up with 50 missiles, it was rather large after all, and the best part? these things no matter what was done to them would not go off within the empires borders thanks to specific wording to Prismo when I had asked for these beauties, I had my ace, and I would only use it when needed, except the Caribou Empire, I fuckin shot three of these at them and took them out before they could become a real threat, and I have recently learned of Equestrias attempts to make FLYING aircraft carriers! while that would be genius if they had hortens or some other jet style plane, they would have no way to land and not crash the damned things into the airship they where launched from, I myself had 40 MODERN abit larger to support the horten and its large size, aircraft carriers, unlimited fuel to, they would run forever so long as their was griffins to man the damned things, I have not launched any yet, If conflict is to arise like I want it to however, I will be doing so soon, until then I shall wait, and plan, for the day this world will know reality of the likes it has never known before, one were friendship, can't solve every problem thrown its way,
