Equestria Divided: Agents of Harmony
Almost 16 years since the royal sister's disappearance from Equestria, and almost 16 years since the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony separation. Well first when the sister disappeared during the night, everypony was in full blow panic thinking the sun will never rise again. While the element bearers tried to figure out what to do to track down the sisters, to everyone’s shock and surprise the sun rose, on its own that day without the eldest sister princess celestia helping to raise it. It brought relief to the masses, but that was short lived relief for some and instead turned to hatred to the sisters for lying about controlling the sun and moon, as applejack left but that was the first of three to leave the elements, but maybe you should get some background on each faction of this world peaceful country, now instead divided by hatred and distrust.
The former Element Bearer of Honesty, Applejack, now Supreme commander of House Earthborn, along with her other family members, and having the largest territory in Equestria, most of it is out west in the Equestria desert territory between along with their allies of the Buffalo tribes.
After seeing the sun rise on its own and declared a traitor by former element bearer of magic and friend twilight sparkle, she left Canterlot to her farm in Ponyville, but something happened in Canterlot after she left twilight tried a forced alicorn transformation with two other Element bearers of loyalty and laughter. But unfortunately, it did not work and, in the process, one of the elements had escaped with a burn on her left side, while the element bearer of laughter died during the process.
When applejack learn of this, she immediately setup House Earthborn, while also making what is formerly was Ponyville its capital, while any who support for the princesses, was killed, or forced to do hash labor, while the unicorns there got their horns cut off, and declaring unicorn magic unnatural. But within a year a House StormWind flooded the former House Earthborn capital of Ponyville. With the capital now turned into a lake, the survivors of Ponyville moved down south of Ponyville to set up a new home and capital for house earthborn. While that was happening applejack was forming an alliance with the Buffalo tribes outside of Appaloosa, but when applejack was about to sign an alliance with them, when she heard of Ponyville been attacked by House Storm Wind and flooded, she immediately took off to the new town that was built by the survivors/former residents and some that used to be a part of house Storm Wind or were.
But before going she took part in a ritual of the Buffalos to complete the alliance and received a gift all from the ancient spirit of truth called one true sight, able to see through lies, illusions, and deceptions except for through house gold mare leader.
After arriving at the new town, now newly named New Ponyville in remembrance of the original Ponyville. Applejack soon declared war against House StormWind and allowed the former soldiers/troops of house StormWind and allowed them into her army with a former Wonderbolt washout named Lighting Dust training Pegasus and recruits for the Pegasus units of House Earthborn.
And declared war also on House Everfree after cutting and brutal/torturing House Earthborn troops in the forest for looking for supplies and for some expansion of territory.
But their stands on unicorns friendly or not/captured must have their horns immediately cut off any unicorns. Even those that accidentally or on purpose go into their territory to get somewhere else. And for baby unicorns, will that part be unknown. And delivers harsh punishment to those that do not follow the rules, including those who only broken a not a severe one.
Oh, who will save everyone from this age of disharmony, and reunite everyone, oh who will do so. “I will stop them for I am Batmare, and will punish those who do wrong against Harmony for I am vengeance”
*Unknown Village/Town*
As a house appears in a mostly populated by bat pony's or with some hybrids or ponies in the village too, a little bat pony filly, with black/grayish fur, with yellow eyes like her mother but with a different mane color than most bat pony's with a bright red mane with blue mixed in. The filly’s name; Night Rose.
And as we close in on night rose room a shout was heard saying “I am vengeance”
Shouted night rose. Before her mother called her down for dinner by her nickname given to her by her mother after she was born. “My little night flower dinner. Come down and eat it before it gets cold.” Her mother said. “Coming mom!” Night rose responded to her mother. As she came down the stairs to see a mango, with some meat and chicken, along with some apple juice on the table.
Her mother night shiner with yellow eyes, and purple mane and tail, with a dark grayish fur who was a former guard along with her husband named gleam shine a unicorn in the solar guard, who met night shine, one night during guard shifts when he bumped into her. After he got knocked down, he looked up to apology but fell in love with night shine after seeing her in the moonlight shining into her eyes.
But before he apologizes, she gets back up and reports to her post. But he did not give up oh no he tried week after week before officially giving up when he met her without her armor on and asked if there was a way to apologize bumming into her, and she spoke "How about you take me on a date and then we see how you can properly apologize” she said with a smirk. But to her surprise and embarrassment he said yes and would pick her up on Saturday, at 9:00 pm, at which her smirk was replaced with a blush on her cheeks as he walked off.
But after that night they got a little bit closer than they were expecting and so within two years they were married and had a filly named night rose. And a year before his passing last year they had a colt unicorn named shine nightlight after seeing him look bright in the day and even brighter in under the moonlight. But that was a year ago when they had a sense of normalcy in this world. As she sat down to talk with her daughter about what she learned in school today.
So, daughter, did you learn anything new in school today? The mother asked with a curious tone in her voice, as night rose replied, “yeah we did learn some math today but also more of the Sisters and the elements today, but some kid in class who has been over the place an earth pony kid, said that all the unicorns' horns should be cut off and learn their place in society under them.” She said to her mother, but the mother replied, “My little night flower doesn’t listen to him, remember Celestia and Luna teachings about Harmony” the mother asked her daughter in a serious tone her in voice. “Yeah I know, but still mom why can’t the unicorns all just get along and just stop thinking they are superior just because they can do magic and pick things up without using their hooves, I just wish sometimes that unicorns didn’t exist at all and should all just d-“ before she could finish her mother shouted at her “ night rose don’t say that you know it’s, not true and not all of them are bad like those in the House Moon and Star territory so don’t compare all unicorns to them, even those who are you family” said her mother in an aggregate tone in her voice to her daughter. “I know mom I just wished they were not always so m- “before she could finish her sentence, an explosion was heard in the town, before anyone can realize what happen, it was followed by screams of ponies at the edge of town before long, musket fire, was heard by the rest of the town, yelling and shouting were heard from the attackers and civilians alike.
But as that was happening Night rose mother had a worried look in her eyes, before she could ask, her mother said to her, “Sweetie go get your brother please” her mother said to her with a sad look in her eyes. “But mom what happing, what is going o- “before she could finish her mother intrepid her,“Sweetie, get your brother, and some of your things. I promise I will explain everything soon when you get back down here but I must get some things ready, so for now just get your brother” her mother said, but mom what’s going o-“ night Rose said in a worrying tone.”Now!” Her mother said with her voice almost sounding broken, as she left to get something from her bedroom.
As soon as she did Night Rose went up the stairs and down the hall to hers little brothers room, as she looked into the room and stepped, she looked into crib, there asleep, peacefully was her unicorn brother, Shine Nightlight unaware of the world he was born in was crumbling around him, so carefully she wrapped her right wing under him picking him up from out of the crib and placed him gently inside baby pouch, strapped to her chest as she gathered some of her brothers blanket and some pacifiers and one toy into the baby bag along with some diapers along too then she was off but not before grabbing a photo of her family and friends and her journal/dairy, and her book and her stuffed animal into another saddle bag, then she exited the room.
As soon as she got downstairs things looked worse on the streets with her mother in the kitchen making some food and snacks and placing them into a bag as soon as she her the clip, clop of little hoofs, as she looked up with water in her eyes, as she finished packing up the food for her two children.
Before Rose could ask, her mother wrapped her wings around both telling them that she loved them both but pulled away, as rose asks “Mom what is going on? Why all you packing food and medical supplies?” As she looked at her mother whose tears were flowing down her cheeks.
As her mother placed one of her leathery wings on her telling her daughter, “I am sending both of you away, and before you say anything, yes it saddens me and my soul but, I’ll just slow you down and you too can move a little faster without me, plus I will provide a distraction for you two to escape.” She said assertively with a hint of sadness in her voice as she then turned to put on some armor and her husband's sword.
As she finishes putting on the gear, she then turns around seeing tears forming in roses eyes, as she walked over giving her the food and supplies as she hugged them one last time, but soon the yelling of soldiers heard from outside, and then the sound of the door being knocked on, as she said to rose hide, as she went over to the door readying the sword just in case as she went to answer the door.
She opened it and saw a horseshoe insignia on their collar, as the lead earth pony asked, night shiner “hello miss but do you have any unicorns in here by any chance do you?” The soldier asked her, as she replied with “no unicorns here, now please lea- “soon crying was heard by them as they saw a little bat pony filly holding a unicorn bat pony.
Before they had a chance to react the mother stabbed the lead soldier telling her children to “RUN, go into the woods and hide, hurry” she said stabbing another soldier as he tried to attack only to get stabbed in the heart. “No” night rose said “I do not what to leave you. Please mom, please come with us!” Night rose said with tears in her and voice breaking down and heart bring broken. “I am so sorry my children, but I will always be with yo-ack” her sentence was cut off as a musket ball was fired into her body and a Pegasus of the earthborn guards tackled her to the ground, before being tossed off into the stallion who was still reloading the Earthborn hand cannon.
As they were still down the mother now bleeding grabbing both the bags and her children and dragged them outside placing them both in a cellar in the woods, placing leaves over it but not before mouthing “ I will always be with you my little night flower” she said, after she gives a peak on their heads as she places the last breach covered with leaves mover the cellar door, and went back to divert their attention to her. As she went back to the side of her house, she sees a squad of House Earthborn soldiers with Pegasus and Buffalo in the mix. As they turn their attention to her, she looks back to the cellar in the woods, shedding a tear as she gives one final look at the cellar, and charges at them.
As her daughter started to feel so sleepy, as she sees her mother charging, a group of Earthborn troops, before collapsing asleep from exhaustion on the cold cellar floor along with her brother besides her curled into his sister for warmth.
