Days After

December 25th, 2022

Canterlot Mississippi, CSA

It was Christmas time in Northern Mississippi, usually, a time of joy and love was currently a time of sadness and mourning. For just five days ago a major attack on a Confederate base off the coast of Paraza, Jackson Harbor No. 5. The thing about these places was that civilian visitation was allowed during peacetime, the base even had civilian quarters. The base had been attacked by a Russian State known as Greater Siberia.

The bombers (Yarokav Dive Bombers) and fighters (Yarokav Naval Fighters) had very little knowledge of the main building at the center of the harbor and attacked the civilian quarters near the center of the central tower, They rained bullet after bullet into the tower, killing over one hundred civilians. Including Applejack. She was in her room in the soldiers' barracks when the attack occurred and was shot God knows how many times by the 20 mm bullets of their aircraft.

Rainbow Dash was at Fluttershy's house when the attack happened. The news showed it five minutes into the attack, the image of the planes diving towards the ships and quickly pulling up, followed by an explosion and a ball of fire lifting from the ship. Applejack was in the Confederate Navy, she served on the CSS Robert .E. Lee which was docked at the harbor. It was one of the Stonewall Mark III battleships, the most advanced battleships available to the CSA, it took five hits to sink.

Rainbow Dash watched as the preacher spoke. He was an old man with short white hair and round glasses, he wore a black suit, he read directly from a brown leather book with Holy Bible written on the front. They stood around a casket draped in a Bonnie Blue Flag (Enstated as the official Confederate Navy Flag in 1899). Along with her were all her friends, Applejack's family, and a line of eight soldiers in gray officer uniforms holding bolt action rifles with open bolts.

When the preacher finished speaking an officer in a gray, heavily decorated uniform and aviator-style sunglasses including an Iron Cross (Before you get triggered, in this world there were no Nazis and the Iron Cross was used by the Germans since the Napoleonic Wars and will sometimes be awarded to allies of the German Empire which still exists in this world). He was a large bald man with a graying black beard.

He had multiple scars on him, a scar on the back of his head, a large scar on his neck, and one across his right eye. He walked over to the soldiers lined up and shouted in a deep booming voice:

"CHARGE!" the soldiers closed the bolts of the rifles "AIM!" the gunners aimed their rifles up"FIRE!" in unison they fired off a shot each.

Rainbow Dash paid no attention to the gunshots. She just stared at the coffin as two soldiers folded the flag into a triangle. They handed it over to Applejack's family. She stared as her true love was lowered into the cold hard ground of the cemetery.

"Hey, we gotta go," said a soft voice as she felt light shoving on her shoulder.

It was Fluttershy who informed her that it was time for lunch. Rainbow Dash didn't go to lunch, she went home to her small apartment in downtown Canterlot. She lied down on her bed and tried to sleep, only to be woken up by the sound of her neighbor next door blasting Stranglehold by Ted Nugent loud enough to keep her from sleeping, so she got out of bed. She walked into her living room and turned on the TV. It was on the news channel, playing a speech from the president.

President James .R. Chapman was a man in his fifties, he was tall and thin with a thick grayish-black goatee and grayish-black hair. He wore a dark blue suit and a red tie. He stood in front of a large, white antebellum-style mansion with a large confederate national flag hanging on the front left side. Red, white, and red stripe with a blue patch depicting 33 stars (since the CSA consists of 33 states in this world). On the front right side was a confederate battle flag.

He stood behind a podium with multiple microphones and began to speak. His voice was not a deep booming voice, but rather a fairly high aging voice like that of someone much older.

"Five days ago, we were attacked not on our mainland but as a nation we were attacked. Many innocent civilians and soldiers perished in the attack. Not just Confederates, but Germans, Irish, Parazans, Portuguese, Cannemin, Austrians, British, and Americans perished. But all these deaths have not destroyed our spirit or the spirit of our allies. This horrible act of aggression shall not be ignored and that is why as of today, I have declared war on Greater Siberia and its allies. WE ARE ALL CONFEDERATES AND OUR YELLS OF ANGER WILL NOT GO UNHEARD! Thank you all and God bless every one of you DEO VINDICE!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd as he finished his speech. The video faded out and a woman sitting at a desk appeared on screen, behind her was "Madden National News Broadcast" written in fancy cursive writing with MNNB on the bottom left corner. The woman spoke:

"US Stocks have dropped 30% over the last 24-hours. President Williamson has banned the export of wheat and other goods. Oil prices in Yukon have skyrocketed due to New Moscow refusing to Export oil due to a decline in oil production. In other news, Confederate Chief of Staff Jonothan Adderly has now issued a mandatory draft for all branches of the armed forces and Confederate reserves a-"

Rainbow Dash changed the station to the only other channel she could get, which was showing reruns of the Andy Griffith Show. She hated the show but there was nothing on other than the news. She lied down on her back and stared at the ceiling, drowning the noise of the TV out she eventually fell asleep.
