NeuOrdnung: Last Days of Equestriaby DegureProductionsChaptersChapter 1 - Ghettos and escapeChapter 2 - Along the WayChapter 3 - Emotional ConversationChapter 4 - Where is Celestia?Prologue: SurrenderingChapter 1 - Ghettos and escapeIn the outskirts of the Eephelturm, Pearis, the Südwestliches Ghetto is the largest of all that’s located in the lands controlled by the Changeling Hrives. A few days later, Achtreifh Konigrenn, a Changeling general, was walking through the ghetto, when he saw the Main Six doing something, then, he decided to walk closer. Almost immediately, the ponies came back to work, it was some kind of "magic" that they were into, but the ghettos don't have any kind of magic, since it was forbidden. "What were you doing here?" asked the general. "We were working this whole time-" said Twilight, when she was interrupted by Pinkie Pie saying "-Yeah, that's the only thing we can do here..." "Yeah," replied Maud Pie. When Pinkie found out her sister was also in the ghetto, she began agonizing and screaming all over the place. "Quiet!" shouted one of the soldiers. "Never! I'd rather die than be in here!" said the pony. "That's it, shoot!" said the general. And then, the soldier shot, immediately, Pinkie fainted. A few hours later, she woke up with her friends looking at her. "What happened?" asked Pinkie. "You have fainted because of the shot, but don't worry, we've mined all the stones for you," answered Rarity. "How did you do it without the guards' notice?" asked her. "We mined it super quickly when they weren't watching, that's how," replied Rainbow Dash. "Well, that's good-" replied Pinkie before being interrupted. "-Back to work! If you are here just to talk with each other, you should've been dead for a long time by now!" said the general. "WHAT?!" answered Pinkie. "Don't question me. Now, get back to work!" replied the general in a rude tone, right before slamming the door. "I hate him!" said her. “Me too… But we can’t do anything to stop them, darling,” said Rarity. “We can’t do nothing, yet,” - replied Twilight - “We will wait for them to go to sleep, then, we’re gonna escape.” “Isn’t that a little bit too risky?” Asked Fluttershy. “I must agree with her,” said Rainbow Dash. “Exactly, so we will pass through the most guarded and reinforced place here,” answered Twilight. At this moment, one of the soldiers was spying on them, then, he went to the ghetto HQ to tell the general about it. “Sir, I have news about those six ponies!” shouted him. “Tell me,” requested the general. “They are planning to escape, sir!” answered him right after. “Very well,” -said him before checking the clock and seeing it was almost midnight- “Go to the radio and tell them to go rest.” “Sir, yes, sir!” replied him right before going to the ghetto communication station. The following day, the ponies woke up, but there was something weird. There were more soldiers than usual, and they were on all sides, watching every single movement, just to be sure no one escapes, even Twilight, but she already knew this, so she built up a plan. She waited until the middle of the night to execute the plan. It was the perfect time. “Come on, girls wake up!” she whispered while shaking each one of them. “Why are you waking us so early?” asked Pinkie while she got up. “You’ve always dreamed of escaping, right?” replied Twilight. “Well, yes, but-” answered Pinkie before Twilight stopped her and began talking “-So we need to do this now!” “Don’t you think this is a little bit risky, Twilight?” asked Fluttershy. “We’ll do it, Fluttershy,” replied Twilight. “I hope so, because I don’t wanna mine stones forever, darling,” said Rarity. “Don’t worry, I’ve mapped every single movement since we got here so I know exactly what to do,” replied Twilight. So they went to a nearby warehouse and disguised themselves as Changelings to escape, which worked. Now, their journey was to run as far away as possible, so as not to be caught and killed by the Changeling soldiers. They passed through Neinzig, Strastenburg, Saarbuchen, Kolnheim, Dortmeind, until they reached Beerlhein's abandoned bunker, where they saw the nearest routes to Danmark on a table. “Okay, we need to go to Hemburg in order to flee to Danmark,” said Twilight while pointing at the map. “Great, now, we need a map to relocate ourselves!” shouted Rarity. “Shut up, Rarity! Do you wanna reveal our location?!” asked Applejack. “... Sorry,” replied Rarity. “It’s okay, but don’t ever do this again!” exclaimed Twilight. “Alright,” exclaimed Rarity. “Perfect,” replied Twilight. Then, they began their escape, until they heard a couple saying something. Instantly, all of them hid on an alley. “So, what do you think about traveling to Danmark?” asked the wife. “I have already been there once, but okay,” replied the husband. “I wanna see the little dragon and the big Draconequus in Kiepenhagen,” said the wife. “Alright!” replied the husband in a happy tone. After hearing the conversation, they deduced Spike and Discord were also captured. Twilight almost cried, but she couldn’t reveal their disguise, so she held back the tears, and they went on. When they got near the Beerlhein Station to go to Danmark, they needed authentication, ID, and a full name. Luckily, Twilight prepared everything for them, and they successfully reached Kiepenhagen. Chapter 2 - Along the WayAt Kiepenhagen, the ponies realized the neighborhood of Nørnbor became a concentration camp only for non-ponies, that means dragons, Draconequus and other types of creatures. “Spike!” shouted Twilight, looking for him. “He isn’t here, what do you want?” asked a soldier nearby. “I want to see Spike, the little purple dragon!” answered her. “He is currently on the way to Oslæn,” replied the soldier. “Alright, thank you… By the way, what date is it?” asked her. “It’s February 18th,” replied the soldier. “Thanks, we’re gonna leave now!” said Twilight as they left the place. After some time, they went to the Kiepenhagen Airport, since they had to go to Oslæn to meet Spike again. “I miss him so much…” said Twilight, holding her tears. “Don’t worry, Twilight, we’re going to get our little Spike back!” replied Rarity. “Thanks, Rarity…” replied Twilight. In the afternoon, they walked onto an alley and slept there, even if some of them wouldn’t agree with that. In the middle of the night, they heard really loud gunshots from the streets. They took a look, and the soldiers were doing a total cleaning on the city, killing all the beggars and homeless people. “What are they doing?” asked Fluttershy. “Ah don’t know” -replied Applejack. “-Twilight?” “I heard one of them say it’s to ‘eliminate the impures from our society’ “ answered Twilight. “-Let’s get out of here!” “We better run now, they’re here!” said Applejack as a warning for all to flee. “-Let’s run to the mountains!” Soon, the chase began, all across Oslæn between the soldiers and the Main Six, cats and rats, fortunately, the ponies ran away, but their disguise was completely ripped apart, leaving them with no possible disguise, since they were hidden in the mountains. “We are completely lost, hungry… I wanna give up…” said Pinkie, depressed. “C’mon, Twi, atleast, we’re together!” replied Applejack. “We all do, darling,” replied Rarity right after. Soon, all of them hugged each other while Twilight replied- “Let’s get out of here.” And so, their journey began, their objective? Find Spike and the princesses. Soon, they crossed Oslæn, but this time, they saw each other on the poles throughout the city, they were wanted all throughout Norveegen, without their disguise, it would be impossible to leave during the day, so they had to wait for the night to run. Meanwhile, the Princesses also managed to escape and went to Nirik State, located in Northern Europe, but the Niriks aren’t as aggressive as the changelings, and let them live. “Well, at least we’re free… What about the others?” asked Luna. “We can’t be so sure, sister,” answered Celestia. Then, a strong wind blew over the city, with it, blew a newspaper, in it said the Main Six escaped the Eepheltrum Ghetto. Suddenly, the princesses see a purple unicorn running on the streets, followed by a white, light blue, yellow, orange and pink ponies following it. “Do you think we should go there?” asked Cadance to Celestia. “Better not do it…” replied Celestia while buying a hamburger. “Hey, sister, you better buy one for me too!” said Luna “I’m sorry, sister! I only have money for one!” shouted Celestia in response. When Celestia came back to the table near the barrack, they were not there anymore. Cadence and Luna went to an alley, just to check if there were anypony in it, since the ponies leave a trail with their hooves that lead to the alley. “Luna?” asked Cadance. “Yes, Cadence?” replied Luna. “Do you think Twilight and the others had escaped?” asked Cadance. “With Twilight’s determination, I think it’s really tough for her to not escape-” replied Luna “-Also, I think she is way far from the ghetto by now.” As they walked through the alley, the ponies were nowhere to be seen. On the other hand, Celestia followed the hoof trail that led to a long alley. “Luna! Cadence!” screamed Celestia. “We should go back, Celestia must be worried,” said Luna. “I agree, let’s go,” replied Cadance. Celestia continued to scream for them, until she had no choice but to enter. She turned on her lantern while walking into the dark alley. “Cadance?” asked Luna “I’m also seeing the light, Luna,” replied her. As the princess slowly walked in the alley, they got enough distance to recognize each other. “Sister!” Celestia cried while running to hug her. “-Cadance!” Meanwhile, with the Main Six, they managed to successfully hide on the dark alley, right at its end. “Do you think the princesses were looking for us?” asked Rainbow Dash. “I think so, I saw them around a round table while I was running,” replied Twilight. “Let’s talk to them!” said Applejack. “I don’t know if they are-” Twilight replied before Rainbow dash cuts her “-Look! It’s her crown!” as she pointed to the corner of the alley. “I think I can use my magic now,” said Twilight before using her magic and realizing she’s still with the horncuffs. “Um… girls? Can you help me?” All of them helped each other to remove the cuffs out of them. “Alright, I’m going!” said Twilight using her magic. As she teleported, the light was so strong, it went to the alley’s entrance, and the princesses could even see it from far away, but before they could do anything, Twilight was already there. “Twilight? How are you here?” asked the princesses. “It’s nothing,” said Twilight. Then, they kept talking, until Luna asked “So, where are the others?” “They’re right there,” said Twilight pointing to the alley they just entered. “All of you are THERE?!” asked Luna loudly. “Yeah, if you wish, I can tell them to come here,” said Twilight. “Alright, they are free now,” said Celestia, agreeing. In a second, all princesses agreed, and she brought the others. In a few hours, they managed to share lots of adventures together. “Twilight?” asked Celestia. “Yes, Princess?” replied Twilight back. “Come here, I wanna tell you something,” said Celestia. “Sure, why not?” replied Twilight back. Then, both went to a corner nearby. All other ponies were curious about what it was, a few minutes passed, and both were back. “So, what happened?” asked Rainbow Dash. “Well, I don't know how to explain-” said Twilight before Celestia stops her, saying “-She will be the next princess of Equestria.” Within a fraction of a second, all of them cheered in celebration. The following day, they got as much resources (food, water, etc.) as they could, and began their journey to Stulckhem, to regain their life they once had. Author's Note Happy New Year 2024! Chapter 3 - Emotional ConversationSo, their journey began, from Kalmor to Stulckhem, they spent almost a week on the way there, but they were lucky, since their government considered ponies as refugees. “Celestia?” asked Twilight. “Yes, Twilight?” “Maybe I should not ask you this, but… How long have you been here?” asked the unicorn, curious. “We came here around 3 weeks ago, still figuring out how things work here.” “We have escaped as well…” “Wait, you have escaped?” asked Celestia. “Yeah, didn’t you?” replied the unicorn, curious. “No! We didn’t!” -answered the princess- “We had just been released after they realized capturing us was a bad idea!” said her, laughing after. When they reached Stulckhem, the princesses were welcomed with a big party, surprisingly not organized by Pinkie. “Residents of Stulckhem, the ponies are here! Give them amazing greetings!” said the voice on the megaphone at the insides of the city. In the same minute, all the Niriks began greeting the ponies and offering their most valuable objects. The ponies refused it, because they know friendship is above all sorts of superficial gifts… Except for Rarity, she was accepting all of them. “Rarity…” whispered Applejack while the unicorn gathered all the presents and gifts from the Niriks. “Oh, my bad, Applejack…” replied the fashionista unicorn before rejecting the gifts. (Even tho she felt pretty upset) A few months later, the princesses had talked with the Nirik government, and decided the Equestrian Embassy would be declared as “Equestrian Government in Exile”. “Congratulations, Princess!” Cheered Twilight to Celestia. “Thanks, Twilight-” replied the princess. “-Hope we can recover Equestria again…” finished her before going to her room to let her stress leave by crying silently. “Don’t worry, Princess… We will…” After that, Princess Luna opened the door to talk with her sister about the uncommon sadness. “Sister? Is everything alright?” asked her, to be sure her sister was fine. “Oh… yeah…” answered Celestia with a sad face. Luna closed the door and had a conversation with her sister, but she was unable to talk with her, as she was slowly being taken by the anger that fulfilled her desire for revenge. “Sister, we can’t return to Equestria now, the Changelings will be looking for us and we will be captured on sight!” said Luna, since she doesn’t want her, nor her sister captured. “That’s the problem, my dear sister… I can’t recover myself… the trauma is just too big for me to handle…” answered Celestia, already depressed. “I understand your sadness, and I’m sorry to hear that… I’m going to leave now,” replied the Moon Princess before leaving their room. Twilight was right outside, and heard all of the conversation. Luna took a big sigh before opening the door. Princess Twilight quickly realized the situation and has decided not to use her magic to open up the door handle, letting it free for the Moon princess to open it. “Hello, Princess… I acknowledge your conversation with your sister was not very good, right?” asked Twilight. Luna replied with a sad, rather calm, tone. “-Oh, yeah… I must say, things aren’t doing great with Celestia. Thus, she must maintain calm, so everything doesn’t explode on fire…” “Hah, I know how it is.” When Luna trespassed the door and closed it again, Celestia said to leave it open, and that she was going after them. And so Luna did, just so the Solar Princess doesn’t feel disappointed. In the kitchen, all mares were already eating, with the exception of the Princesses, of course. Cadenza was cooking some fried eggs to fill the “emptiness” of the fried bacon and buttered toast on each one's plate. When Twilight and Luna got down, their plates were already done. Cadenza, along with all others, was already eating. “Why didn't you wait for us, Cadance?” asked Luna to her niece. “If I had to wait for you, I would probably eat in the middle of the night,” replied the love princess. Chuckling, the lunar princess responded before she began to eat “Don’t exaggerate.” While they were eating, Princess Celestia came down the stairs. She was sobbing less than before, but still was. “Oh, I'm surprised you’ve decided to get down. Weren't you going to stay up there?” asked the Moon princess. “I can’t continue with this,” replied her sister, “At any time soon, the Changelings will find me.” With this, the other princesses and the Main Six gasped, and Pinkie spat the apple juice at the floor, screaming “WHAT?! THEY CAN’T DO THIS!” before being interrupted by Fluttershy, who said “They have the authority to do whatever they can over here, Pinkie.” “She’s right, after all,” responded Celestia as she ate the food on the plate. Later that same night, Celestia was found to be awake, waiting for the right time to come. Pinkie Pie was coming down the stairs when she realized Celestia had been awake the whole time since morning. “Celestia? Is everything alright?” the pink pony asked. “Not really…” replied the princess. “Why?” the pony questioned. “Well, you see, the Changelings at my camp couldn’t stop staring at us and-” Celestia responded before being interrupted by one of Pinkie’s many questions “-Wait, did they do something to you?” “Did they abuse you and your sister?” “Did they-” the earth pony started to ask like there was no tomorrow before getting interrupted by the princess “-Can you let me talk?” On the same instant, the non-stop curious pony sat down and began listening to the Solar princess. “As I was saying, the Changelings couldn't stop staring at us, and I knew they were crazy to eat our love. Firstly because of the amount of love we have from both ourselves and our beloved citizens, and secondly because we were the princesses, an important piece of Equestrian politics.” Intrigued, the party pony kept listening to her. “They didn’t stop staring at us, I could sense the cold down in my stomach, as if they were ready to take our love for whatever means necessary…” Surprised, Pinkie gasped and said “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Were they going to use your bodies, is that what I’m understanding?!” “Yes… They also took off their clothes and showed us their private parts… I felt like it was the end for both me and my sister…” replied the alicorn as she cried. As an involuntary reaction, the earth pony hugged and consoled her as a form to calm her down. In the end, both of them went back to sleep, with Celestia not going downstairs for breakfast. Author's Note Sorry for the wait Chapter 4 - Where is Celestia?It is now morning in Stulckhem, and the ponies miss their home more than everything. At first, everything seems normal. Everyone wakes up and gets ready for breakfast. But Luna seems worried. Her face resembles one of fear and despair, her eyes rarely blinking at all, her breathing incredibly fast, and her heartbeat increased as well. Realizing her situation, Rarity asks, “What’s the matter, Princess?” “Nothing… Nothing, at all. Don’t need to worry,” the Moon Princess replied. “Really? You seem pretty worried to me.” “Oh, me? Don’t worry, I’m completely fine, hehe.” “You’re sweating like you were in the Saharema Desert!” “No, no, I think you’re delusional for being so much time without your gems!” After that response, the unicorn finally said “Really? Oh.” This somehow surprised Luna, who did not expect her to be that easy to fool. “Then, I must know about Celestia, right?” replied the white unicorn. At this moment, the princess froze completely, and kept thinking about how she knew Celestia had disappeared. “How do you know Celestia is gone?” asked the night princess. Instantly all the other ponies looked at her with both curiosity and seriousness. Luna, fearing the worst, said she went to the grocery. The truth is that she went to the Changeling Hrives, more specifically Beerlhein, to declare her official surrender. While all of that happened, the princess had a flashback. The night before leaving, Celestia wrote a letter to her sister. The note said: “My dear sister, It is with a heavy heart that I send you this note. I’m currently heading to the Stulckhem International Airport, make sure the girls do not notice. Tell whatever thing comes to your mind, just don’t tell them I left the country to sign a surrender treaty. However, if I do not return by the next day, tell them I left the country to sign the peace treaty with the Changelings.” When Luna read the note, she almost cried, right there. But she had to keep like nothing happened at all ignoring the fact her sister could literally die in foreign lands, or even be captured by the Changelings. However, she had to be strong in such a difficult time, and also make sure the girls never knew this letter had been written to her. Meanwhile, Celestia took the airplane that goes from Stulckhem to the Changeling capital, Beerlhein. Knowing this, Chrysalis and the other high-ranking Changelings were awaiting her at the airport. When the princess arrived at the airport, Chrysalis, along with the high-ranking members of her party, walked closer to her plane. After the order to leave was given, Celestia was the first one to leave, as she had a special prestige among the Niriks due to her high status as the princess of the previous superpower of Equerra. Celestia, after descending the plane, was surprised by the amount of cameras that surrounded her, which was way more than the amount when the war was going and Equestria still existed, which was not surprising, since this was the first time she was ever seen after they all flee to the Nirik State. “Oh, Princess… I’m glad you’re here,” said Chrysalis, her face showing a slight grin as she said that. “Cut the crap, Chrysalis, tell me what you want, I’m getting bored already,” replied the Sun goddess. “Oh, please, don’t be that quick. You know agreements between nations are very time consuming, especially when they’re both enemies.” “I know that. Now, can we please proceed to the negotiation room already?” “You ain’t even interested in our grandiose rework of our capital?” “I must admit, it’s a really good reconstruction. Let me guess, you used a nuke to destroy the whole city, right?” “Whoa, you seem to be really stressed, my dear. Why don’t you take a sip of tea?” “No, I don’t want it, thanks.” “Your ‘good acting’ won’t fool me. Let’s just go to the conference room already.” “*sigh*, alright.” When they finished talking, both of them were already at the airport front doors, waiting for their cars to arrive, with a convoy of about 7 black cars arriving and taking them to the Konferenzraum, near the Volkshalle. Upon arriving at the Konferenzraum doors, the soldiers on patrol saluted Chrysalis, raising their right hoof 120° up, perpendicular to the ground. Celestia felt completely disgusted and uncomfortable by this, but there was nothing she could do. The doors were opened, and Celestia was utterly surprised about how big it was compared to Canterlot’s conference room. Right at the other wall was a giant window that covered it whole. At the wall on the right, there was a huge painting of the Führer Chrysalis behind the short side of the table, which was about 3 hooves of length and a width of about 20 hooves. The painting shows the city of Beerlhein full of Changelings, as Chrysalis looks at them proudly. “I’m glad you liked this painting, princess. Hope you get one of those soon,” said the Changeling leader. “I didn’t. Now, cut the crap and let’s get this over with,” replied the alicorn. Both of them sat in their respective places. For security measures, a magic blocking ring was installed on Celestia’s horn, so she couldn’t pull out any magical trick. News of the event is being spread all over the Rassenpakt and other countries of the world, including the Nirik State. At the same time, the ponies are ready to watch TV. Cadance is about to grab the remote to turn it on. Luckily, Luna was already prepared for this occasion, because she unplugged the television before everypony woke up, so the television didn’t answer the remote’s commands, which made the love princess a little bit angry. “Why doesn’t it turn on?!” asked Cadence. “Have you tried to check the plug, Cadenza?” questioned Luna in response. The moment she finished her question, Cadence took a look at the TV plug before realizing it was off and plugged it back again. The TV was on, and it showed on the news that Celestia was on Changeling soil to sign the official rendition of their kingdom. Luna’s face was paralyzed, as well as the rest of her body after hearing such news. At this exact moment, Twilight came downstairs reading a letter which Celestia herself wrote to her sister, then asked “Luna, did Celestia leave the country to sign peace with the Changelings?”. Luna had no other option than to confirm, which left all the other ponies disappointed at her by trying to hide the fact her own sister left the country and decided not to tell them. “Luna, I am totally saddened by your decision. If they find out we have been exiled to the Nirik State, we can face serious problems!” Cadence asked in a disgusted tone, heavening Luna’s thoughts. While they were discussing, the TV announced. “While everything happens, Princess Celestia lays a message to her fellow ponies.” The camera focuses on Celestia’s face, showing happiness among horror and fear. “My fellow ponies…” She speaks as her voice is transmitted all around the world. Inhabitants from all across the Rassenpakt and the rest of the world were listening to the transmission, including the princesses and the rest of the Main Six “-It is with great heart that I announce the rendition of our kingdom. To all of the ponies, be them mares or stallions, earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi, or even my sister, Princess Luna and my niece, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, don’t lose your force of will! Equestria shall not exist but we will still exist until none of us are left! Long Live the Kingdom of Equestria!” Her words gave the ponies a bit of a will to live, with some of them even rioting against the Changelings in some of the ghettos, like in the Südwestliches Ghetto, Bordeau-Jalle, Warschauei, Naen, and Londinium. At their home, Luna and the others had been discussing for minutes about Celestia, and it stressed Luna to the point she went to her bedroom and locked the door with herself inside it. “Why can’t I stop blaming myself for this?! I should have gone with her, so I couldn’t hear this!” screamed her in the bedroom. A few minutes later, the girls were still very upset by Luna’s decision of not telling them. Fluttershy, pretty hesitant, got upstairs and had a talk with the princess. That was until she heard the constant screams coming from inside her bedroom. They were agonizing, but the shy pegasus had to do something before it was too late. Prologue: SurrenderingAt the Canterlot castle, the changeling army had encircled the Main Six on all sides, leaving them without any possible exit. "We are cornered from all sides... we need to give up!" -said Twilight Sparkle before Chrysalis showed up right after- "Oh, perfect! If the most important of the Elements of Harmony is giving up, all of them will do so, one by one." "Not if we do something about that!" said Applejack. "It's over, Applejack, there is nothing we can do," said Twilight. "Alright, I don't even know why Celestia chose ya after all," said Applejack. "She sent me to Ponyville because she said I was the chosen one because I could make better friends than anypony else in Equestria!" replied Twilight. "And now, it's time to prove her wrong!" said Chrysalis, "-Now, each of you will be sent to the camps for the rest of your lives!" "We'll see..." thought Twilight. When the Main Six began complaining about the necklaces, their mouths were shut up, they were put in cages to soon be onto some kind of slave transport ship. Now, traveling across the Celestial Ocean, the ponies found out that the entirety of the Equestrian population was taken to work in concentration and forced labor camps, even the princesses couldn't escape. Chrysalis and her army were now the rulers of the once lands of Equestria. Author's Note This is inspired by the TNO mod for HOI4.
Chapter 1 - Ghettos and escapeIn the outskirts of the Eephelturm, Pearis, the Südwestliches Ghetto is the largest of all that’s located in the lands controlled by the Changeling Hrives. A few days later, Achtreifh Konigrenn, a Changeling general, was walking through the ghetto, when he saw the Main Six doing something, then, he decided to walk closer. Almost immediately, the ponies came back to work, it was some kind of "magic" that they were into, but the ghettos don't have any kind of magic, since it was forbidden. "What were you doing here?" asked the general. "We were working this whole time-" said Twilight, when she was interrupted by Pinkie Pie saying "-Yeah, that's the only thing we can do here..." "Yeah," replied Maud Pie. When Pinkie found out her sister was also in the ghetto, she began agonizing and screaming all over the place. "Quiet!" shouted one of the soldiers. "Never! I'd rather die than be in here!" said the pony. "That's it, shoot!" said the general. And then, the soldier shot, immediately, Pinkie fainted. A few hours later, she woke up with her friends looking at her. "What happened?" asked Pinkie. "You have fainted because of the shot, but don't worry, we've mined all the stones for you," answered Rarity. "How did you do it without the guards' notice?" asked her. "We mined it super quickly when they weren't watching, that's how," replied Rainbow Dash. "Well, that's good-" replied Pinkie before being interrupted. "-Back to work! If you are here just to talk with each other, you should've been dead for a long time by now!" said the general. "WHAT?!" answered Pinkie. "Don't question me. Now, get back to work!" replied the general in a rude tone, right before slamming the door. "I hate him!" said her. “Me too… But we can’t do anything to stop them, darling,” said Rarity. “We can’t do nothing, yet,” - replied Twilight - “We will wait for them to go to sleep, then, we’re gonna escape.” “Isn’t that a little bit too risky?” Asked Fluttershy. “I must agree with her,” said Rainbow Dash. “Exactly, so we will pass through the most guarded and reinforced place here,” answered Twilight. At this moment, one of the soldiers was spying on them, then, he went to the ghetto HQ to tell the general about it. “Sir, I have news about those six ponies!” shouted him. “Tell me,” requested the general. “They are planning to escape, sir!” answered him right after. “Very well,” -said him before checking the clock and seeing it was almost midnight- “Go to the radio and tell them to go rest.” “Sir, yes, sir!” replied him right before going to the ghetto communication station. The following day, the ponies woke up, but there was something weird. There were more soldiers than usual, and they were on all sides, watching every single movement, just to be sure no one escapes, even Twilight, but she already knew this, so she built up a plan. She waited until the middle of the night to execute the plan. It was the perfect time. “Come on, girls wake up!” she whispered while shaking each one of them. “Why are you waking us so early?” asked Pinkie while she got up. “You’ve always dreamed of escaping, right?” replied Twilight. “Well, yes, but-” answered Pinkie before Twilight stopped her and began talking “-So we need to do this now!” “Don’t you think this is a little bit risky, Twilight?” asked Fluttershy. “We’ll do it, Fluttershy,” replied Twilight. “I hope so, because I don’t wanna mine stones forever, darling,” said Rarity. “Don’t worry, I’ve mapped every single movement since we got here so I know exactly what to do,” replied Twilight. So they went to a nearby warehouse and disguised themselves as Changelings to escape, which worked. Now, their journey was to run as far away as possible, so as not to be caught and killed by the Changeling soldiers. They passed through Neinzig, Strastenburg, Saarbuchen, Kolnheim, Dortmeind, until they reached Beerlhein's abandoned bunker, where they saw the nearest routes to Danmark on a table. “Okay, we need to go to Hemburg in order to flee to Danmark,” said Twilight while pointing at the map. “Great, now, we need a map to relocate ourselves!” shouted Rarity. “Shut up, Rarity! Do you wanna reveal our location?!” asked Applejack. “... Sorry,” replied Rarity. “It’s okay, but don’t ever do this again!” exclaimed Twilight. “Alright,” exclaimed Rarity. “Perfect,” replied Twilight. Then, they began their escape, until they heard a couple saying something. Instantly, all of them hid on an alley. “So, what do you think about traveling to Danmark?” asked the wife. “I have already been there once, but okay,” replied the husband. “I wanna see the little dragon and the big Draconequus in Kiepenhagen,” said the wife. “Alright!” replied the husband in a happy tone. After hearing the conversation, they deduced Spike and Discord were also captured. Twilight almost cried, but she couldn’t reveal their disguise, so she held back the tears, and they went on. When they got near the Beerlhein Station to go to Danmark, they needed authentication, ID, and a full name. Luckily, Twilight prepared everything for them, and they successfully reached Kiepenhagen.
Chapter 2 - Along the WayAt Kiepenhagen, the ponies realized the neighborhood of Nørnbor became a concentration camp only for non-ponies, that means dragons, Draconequus and other types of creatures. “Spike!” shouted Twilight, looking for him. “He isn’t here, what do you want?” asked a soldier nearby. “I want to see Spike, the little purple dragon!” answered her. “He is currently on the way to Oslæn,” replied the soldier. “Alright, thank you… By the way, what date is it?” asked her. “It’s February 18th,” replied the soldier. “Thanks, we’re gonna leave now!” said Twilight as they left the place. After some time, they went to the Kiepenhagen Airport, since they had to go to Oslæn to meet Spike again. “I miss him so much…” said Twilight, holding her tears. “Don’t worry, Twilight, we’re going to get our little Spike back!” replied Rarity. “Thanks, Rarity…” replied Twilight. In the afternoon, they walked onto an alley and slept there, even if some of them wouldn’t agree with that. In the middle of the night, they heard really loud gunshots from the streets. They took a look, and the soldiers were doing a total cleaning on the city, killing all the beggars and homeless people. “What are they doing?” asked Fluttershy. “Ah don’t know” -replied Applejack. “-Twilight?” “I heard one of them say it’s to ‘eliminate the impures from our society’ “ answered Twilight. “-Let’s get out of here!” “We better run now, they’re here!” said Applejack as a warning for all to flee. “-Let’s run to the mountains!” Soon, the chase began, all across Oslæn between the soldiers and the Main Six, cats and rats, fortunately, the ponies ran away, but their disguise was completely ripped apart, leaving them with no possible disguise, since they were hidden in the mountains. “We are completely lost, hungry… I wanna give up…” said Pinkie, depressed. “C’mon, Twi, atleast, we’re together!” replied Applejack. “We all do, darling,” replied Rarity right after. Soon, all of them hugged each other while Twilight replied- “Let’s get out of here.” And so, their journey began, their objective? Find Spike and the princesses. Soon, they crossed Oslæn, but this time, they saw each other on the poles throughout the city, they were wanted all throughout Norveegen, without their disguise, it would be impossible to leave during the day, so they had to wait for the night to run. Meanwhile, the Princesses also managed to escape and went to Nirik State, located in Northern Europe, but the Niriks aren’t as aggressive as the changelings, and let them live. “Well, at least we’re free… What about the others?” asked Luna. “We can’t be so sure, sister,” answered Celestia. Then, a strong wind blew over the city, with it, blew a newspaper, in it said the Main Six escaped the Eepheltrum Ghetto. Suddenly, the princesses see a purple unicorn running on the streets, followed by a white, light blue, yellow, orange and pink ponies following it. “Do you think we should go there?” asked Cadance to Celestia. “Better not do it…” replied Celestia while buying a hamburger. “Hey, sister, you better buy one for me too!” said Luna “I’m sorry, sister! I only have money for one!” shouted Celestia in response. When Celestia came back to the table near the barrack, they were not there anymore. Cadence and Luna went to an alley, just to check if there were anypony in it, since the ponies leave a trail with their hooves that lead to the alley. “Luna?” asked Cadance. “Yes, Cadence?” replied Luna. “Do you think Twilight and the others had escaped?” asked Cadance. “With Twilight’s determination, I think it’s really tough for her to not escape-” replied Luna “-Also, I think she is way far from the ghetto by now.” As they walked through the alley, the ponies were nowhere to be seen. On the other hand, Celestia followed the hoof trail that led to a long alley. “Luna! Cadence!” screamed Celestia. “We should go back, Celestia must be worried,” said Luna. “I agree, let’s go,” replied Cadance. Celestia continued to scream for them, until she had no choice but to enter. She turned on her lantern while walking into the dark alley. “Cadance?” asked Luna “I’m also seeing the light, Luna,” replied her. As the princess slowly walked in the alley, they got enough distance to recognize each other. “Sister!” Celestia cried while running to hug her. “-Cadance!” Meanwhile, with the Main Six, they managed to successfully hide on the dark alley, right at its end. “Do you think the princesses were looking for us?” asked Rainbow Dash. “I think so, I saw them around a round table while I was running,” replied Twilight. “Let’s talk to them!” said Applejack. “I don’t know if they are-” Twilight replied before Rainbow dash cuts her “-Look! It’s her crown!” as she pointed to the corner of the alley. “I think I can use my magic now,” said Twilight before using her magic and realizing she’s still with the horncuffs. “Um… girls? Can you help me?” All of them helped each other to remove the cuffs out of them. “Alright, I’m going!” said Twilight using her magic. As she teleported, the light was so strong, it went to the alley’s entrance, and the princesses could even see it from far away, but before they could do anything, Twilight was already there. “Twilight? How are you here?” asked the princesses. “It’s nothing,” said Twilight. Then, they kept talking, until Luna asked “So, where are the others?” “They’re right there,” said Twilight pointing to the alley they just entered. “All of you are THERE?!” asked Luna loudly. “Yeah, if you wish, I can tell them to come here,” said Twilight. “Alright, they are free now,” said Celestia, agreeing. In a second, all princesses agreed, and she brought the others. In a few hours, they managed to share lots of adventures together. “Twilight?” asked Celestia. “Yes, Princess?” replied Twilight back. “Come here, I wanna tell you something,” said Celestia. “Sure, why not?” replied Twilight back. Then, both went to a corner nearby. All other ponies were curious about what it was, a few minutes passed, and both were back. “So, what happened?” asked Rainbow Dash. “Well, I don't know how to explain-” said Twilight before Celestia stops her, saying “-She will be the next princess of Equestria.” Within a fraction of a second, all of them cheered in celebration. The following day, they got as much resources (food, water, etc.) as they could, and began their journey to Stulckhem, to regain their life they once had. Author's Note Happy New Year 2024!
Chapter 3 - Emotional ConversationSo, their journey began, from Kalmor to Stulckhem, they spent almost a week on the way there, but they were lucky, since their government considered ponies as refugees. “Celestia?” asked Twilight. “Yes, Twilight?” “Maybe I should not ask you this, but… How long have you been here?” asked the unicorn, curious. “We came here around 3 weeks ago, still figuring out how things work here.” “We have escaped as well…” “Wait, you have escaped?” asked Celestia. “Yeah, didn’t you?” replied the unicorn, curious. “No! We didn’t!” -answered the princess- “We had just been released after they realized capturing us was a bad idea!” said her, laughing after. When they reached Stulckhem, the princesses were welcomed with a big party, surprisingly not organized by Pinkie. “Residents of Stulckhem, the ponies are here! Give them amazing greetings!” said the voice on the megaphone at the insides of the city. In the same minute, all the Niriks began greeting the ponies and offering their most valuable objects. The ponies refused it, because they know friendship is above all sorts of superficial gifts… Except for Rarity, she was accepting all of them. “Rarity…” whispered Applejack while the unicorn gathered all the presents and gifts from the Niriks. “Oh, my bad, Applejack…” replied the fashionista unicorn before rejecting the gifts. (Even tho she felt pretty upset) A few months later, the princesses had talked with the Nirik government, and decided the Equestrian Embassy would be declared as “Equestrian Government in Exile”. “Congratulations, Princess!” Cheered Twilight to Celestia. “Thanks, Twilight-” replied the princess. “-Hope we can recover Equestria again…” finished her before going to her room to let her stress leave by crying silently. “Don’t worry, Princess… We will…” After that, Princess Luna opened the door to talk with her sister about the uncommon sadness. “Sister? Is everything alright?” asked her, to be sure her sister was fine. “Oh… yeah…” answered Celestia with a sad face. Luna closed the door and had a conversation with her sister, but she was unable to talk with her, as she was slowly being taken by the anger that fulfilled her desire for revenge. “Sister, we can’t return to Equestria now, the Changelings will be looking for us and we will be captured on sight!” said Luna, since she doesn’t want her, nor her sister captured. “That’s the problem, my dear sister… I can’t recover myself… the trauma is just too big for me to handle…” answered Celestia, already depressed. “I understand your sadness, and I’m sorry to hear that… I’m going to leave now,” replied the Moon Princess before leaving their room. Twilight was right outside, and heard all of the conversation. Luna took a big sigh before opening the door. Princess Twilight quickly realized the situation and has decided not to use her magic to open up the door handle, letting it free for the Moon princess to open it. “Hello, Princess… I acknowledge your conversation with your sister was not very good, right?” asked Twilight. Luna replied with a sad, rather calm, tone. “-Oh, yeah… I must say, things aren’t doing great with Celestia. Thus, she must maintain calm, so everything doesn’t explode on fire…” “Hah, I know how it is.” When Luna trespassed the door and closed it again, Celestia said to leave it open, and that she was going after them. And so Luna did, just so the Solar Princess doesn’t feel disappointed. In the kitchen, all mares were already eating, with the exception of the Princesses, of course. Cadenza was cooking some fried eggs to fill the “emptiness” of the fried bacon and buttered toast on each one's plate. When Twilight and Luna got down, their plates were already done. Cadenza, along with all others, was already eating. “Why didn't you wait for us, Cadance?” asked Luna to her niece. “If I had to wait for you, I would probably eat in the middle of the night,” replied the love princess. Chuckling, the lunar princess responded before she began to eat “Don’t exaggerate.” While they were eating, Princess Celestia came down the stairs. She was sobbing less than before, but still was. “Oh, I'm surprised you’ve decided to get down. Weren't you going to stay up there?” asked the Moon princess. “I can’t continue with this,” replied her sister, “At any time soon, the Changelings will find me.” With this, the other princesses and the Main Six gasped, and Pinkie spat the apple juice at the floor, screaming “WHAT?! THEY CAN’T DO THIS!” before being interrupted by Fluttershy, who said “They have the authority to do whatever they can over here, Pinkie.” “She’s right, after all,” responded Celestia as she ate the food on the plate. Later that same night, Celestia was found to be awake, waiting for the right time to come. Pinkie Pie was coming down the stairs when she realized Celestia had been awake the whole time since morning. “Celestia? Is everything alright?” the pink pony asked. “Not really…” replied the princess. “Why?” the pony questioned. “Well, you see, the Changelings at my camp couldn’t stop staring at us and-” Celestia responded before being interrupted by one of Pinkie’s many questions “-Wait, did they do something to you?” “Did they abuse you and your sister?” “Did they-” the earth pony started to ask like there was no tomorrow before getting interrupted by the princess “-Can you let me talk?” On the same instant, the non-stop curious pony sat down and began listening to the Solar princess. “As I was saying, the Changelings couldn't stop staring at us, and I knew they were crazy to eat our love. Firstly because of the amount of love we have from both ourselves and our beloved citizens, and secondly because we were the princesses, an important piece of Equestrian politics.” Intrigued, the party pony kept listening to her. “They didn’t stop staring at us, I could sense the cold down in my stomach, as if they were ready to take our love for whatever means necessary…” Surprised, Pinkie gasped and said “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Were they going to use your bodies, is that what I’m understanding?!” “Yes… They also took off their clothes and showed us their private parts… I felt like it was the end for both me and my sister…” replied the alicorn as she cried. As an involuntary reaction, the earth pony hugged and consoled her as a form to calm her down. In the end, both of them went back to sleep, with Celestia not going downstairs for breakfast. Author's Note Sorry for the wait
Chapter 4 - Where is Celestia?It is now morning in Stulckhem, and the ponies miss their home more than everything. At first, everything seems normal. Everyone wakes up and gets ready for breakfast. But Luna seems worried. Her face resembles one of fear and despair, her eyes rarely blinking at all, her breathing incredibly fast, and her heartbeat increased as well. Realizing her situation, Rarity asks, “What’s the matter, Princess?” “Nothing… Nothing, at all. Don’t need to worry,” the Moon Princess replied. “Really? You seem pretty worried to me.” “Oh, me? Don’t worry, I’m completely fine, hehe.” “You’re sweating like you were in the Saharema Desert!” “No, no, I think you’re delusional for being so much time without your gems!” After that response, the unicorn finally said “Really? Oh.” This somehow surprised Luna, who did not expect her to be that easy to fool. “Then, I must know about Celestia, right?” replied the white unicorn. At this moment, the princess froze completely, and kept thinking about how she knew Celestia had disappeared. “How do you know Celestia is gone?” asked the night princess. Instantly all the other ponies looked at her with both curiosity and seriousness. Luna, fearing the worst, said she went to the grocery. The truth is that she went to the Changeling Hrives, more specifically Beerlhein, to declare her official surrender. While all of that happened, the princess had a flashback. The night before leaving, Celestia wrote a letter to her sister. The note said: “My dear sister, It is with a heavy heart that I send you this note. I’m currently heading to the Stulckhem International Airport, make sure the girls do not notice. Tell whatever thing comes to your mind, just don’t tell them I left the country to sign a surrender treaty. However, if I do not return by the next day, tell them I left the country to sign the peace treaty with the Changelings.” When Luna read the note, she almost cried, right there. But she had to keep like nothing happened at all ignoring the fact her sister could literally die in foreign lands, or even be captured by the Changelings. However, she had to be strong in such a difficult time, and also make sure the girls never knew this letter had been written to her. Meanwhile, Celestia took the airplane that goes from Stulckhem to the Changeling capital, Beerlhein. Knowing this, Chrysalis and the other high-ranking Changelings were awaiting her at the airport. When the princess arrived at the airport, Chrysalis, along with the high-ranking members of her party, walked closer to her plane. After the order to leave was given, Celestia was the first one to leave, as she had a special prestige among the Niriks due to her high status as the princess of the previous superpower of Equerra. Celestia, after descending the plane, was surprised by the amount of cameras that surrounded her, which was way more than the amount when the war was going and Equestria still existed, which was not surprising, since this was the first time she was ever seen after they all flee to the Nirik State. “Oh, Princess… I’m glad you’re here,” said Chrysalis, her face showing a slight grin as she said that. “Cut the crap, Chrysalis, tell me what you want, I’m getting bored already,” replied the Sun goddess. “Oh, please, don’t be that quick. You know agreements between nations are very time consuming, especially when they’re both enemies.” “I know that. Now, can we please proceed to the negotiation room already?” “You ain’t even interested in our grandiose rework of our capital?” “I must admit, it’s a really good reconstruction. Let me guess, you used a nuke to destroy the whole city, right?” “Whoa, you seem to be really stressed, my dear. Why don’t you take a sip of tea?” “No, I don’t want it, thanks.” “Your ‘good acting’ won’t fool me. Let’s just go to the conference room already.” “*sigh*, alright.” When they finished talking, both of them were already at the airport front doors, waiting for their cars to arrive, with a convoy of about 7 black cars arriving and taking them to the Konferenzraum, near the Volkshalle. Upon arriving at the Konferenzraum doors, the soldiers on patrol saluted Chrysalis, raising their right hoof 120° up, perpendicular to the ground. Celestia felt completely disgusted and uncomfortable by this, but there was nothing she could do. The doors were opened, and Celestia was utterly surprised about how big it was compared to Canterlot’s conference room. Right at the other wall was a giant window that covered it whole. At the wall on the right, there was a huge painting of the Führer Chrysalis behind the short side of the table, which was about 3 hooves of length and a width of about 20 hooves. The painting shows the city of Beerlhein full of Changelings, as Chrysalis looks at them proudly. “I’m glad you liked this painting, princess. Hope you get one of those soon,” said the Changeling leader. “I didn’t. Now, cut the crap and let’s get this over with,” replied the alicorn. Both of them sat in their respective places. For security measures, a magic blocking ring was installed on Celestia’s horn, so she couldn’t pull out any magical trick. News of the event is being spread all over the Rassenpakt and other countries of the world, including the Nirik State. At the same time, the ponies are ready to watch TV. Cadance is about to grab the remote to turn it on. Luckily, Luna was already prepared for this occasion, because she unplugged the television before everypony woke up, so the television didn’t answer the remote’s commands, which made the love princess a little bit angry. “Why doesn’t it turn on?!” asked Cadence. “Have you tried to check the plug, Cadenza?” questioned Luna in response. The moment she finished her question, Cadence took a look at the TV plug before realizing it was off and plugged it back again. The TV was on, and it showed on the news that Celestia was on Changeling soil to sign the official rendition of their kingdom. Luna’s face was paralyzed, as well as the rest of her body after hearing such news. At this exact moment, Twilight came downstairs reading a letter which Celestia herself wrote to her sister, then asked “Luna, did Celestia leave the country to sign peace with the Changelings?”. Luna had no other option than to confirm, which left all the other ponies disappointed at her by trying to hide the fact her own sister left the country and decided not to tell them. “Luna, I am totally saddened by your decision. If they find out we have been exiled to the Nirik State, we can face serious problems!” Cadence asked in a disgusted tone, heavening Luna’s thoughts. While they were discussing, the TV announced. “While everything happens, Princess Celestia lays a message to her fellow ponies.” The camera focuses on Celestia’s face, showing happiness among horror and fear. “My fellow ponies…” She speaks as her voice is transmitted all around the world. Inhabitants from all across the Rassenpakt and the rest of the world were listening to the transmission, including the princesses and the rest of the Main Six “-It is with great heart that I announce the rendition of our kingdom. To all of the ponies, be them mares or stallions, earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi, or even my sister, Princess Luna and my niece, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, don’t lose your force of will! Equestria shall not exist but we will still exist until none of us are left! Long Live the Kingdom of Equestria!” Her words gave the ponies a bit of a will to live, with some of them even rioting against the Changelings in some of the ghettos, like in the Südwestliches Ghetto, Bordeau-Jalle, Warschauei, Naen, and Londinium. At their home, Luna and the others had been discussing for minutes about Celestia, and it stressed Luna to the point she went to her bedroom and locked the door with herself inside it. “Why can’t I stop blaming myself for this?! I should have gone with her, so I couldn’t hear this!” screamed her in the bedroom. A few minutes later, the girls were still very upset by Luna’s decision of not telling them. Fluttershy, pretty hesitant, got upstairs and had a talk with the princess. That was until she heard the constant screams coming from inside her bedroom. They were agonizing, but the shy pegasus had to do something before it was too late.
Prologue: SurrenderingAt the Canterlot castle, the changeling army had encircled the Main Six on all sides, leaving them without any possible exit. "We are cornered from all sides... we need to give up!" -said Twilight Sparkle before Chrysalis showed up right after- "Oh, perfect! If the most important of the Elements of Harmony is giving up, all of them will do so, one by one." "Not if we do something about that!" said Applejack. "It's over, Applejack, there is nothing we can do," said Twilight. "Alright, I don't even know why Celestia chose ya after all," said Applejack. "She sent me to Ponyville because she said I was the chosen one because I could make better friends than anypony else in Equestria!" replied Twilight. "And now, it's time to prove her wrong!" said Chrysalis, "-Now, each of you will be sent to the camps for the rest of your lives!" "We'll see..." thought Twilight. When the Main Six began complaining about the necklaces, their mouths were shut up, they were put in cages to soon be onto some kind of slave transport ship. Now, traveling across the Celestial Ocean, the ponies found out that the entirety of the Equestrian population was taken to work in concentration and forced labor camps, even the princesses couldn't escape. Chrysalis and her army were now the rulers of the once lands of Equestria. Author's Note This is inspired by the TNO mod for HOI4.
