Everything goes wrong in Derpy's life. And all of this because she overslept.

A sad fiction starring Derpy.

Nova, a pegasus mare, was born and raised in a place of safety and security by a proud and noble family. Stable 181, a Stable dedicated to teaching and preserving the pre-war virtues known as the Elements of Harmony, allowed its residents to live a life of peace, knowledge, and honor. But when the Stable falls under attack by a raider war party, Nova and the remaining residents are cast out into the wasteland of the Equestrian southeast.

Without a home, Nova and her fellow survivors must band together to make a living out on the surface. They must start from scratch, find a new home, learn to trade and explore, and establish a foothold in the wastes. But during her efforts to help her people, Nova comes across strange recordings and artifacts pointing to a hidden pre-war nation. And when a mysterious pony calls upon her to discover what it is that the writings portray, Nova and her closest friends find themselves cast into a war fought to claim a legacy left behind by a secret pre-war society. Nova's quest leads her to test her heart against the unrelenting force of the wasteland, to discover the meaning of the word honor, and to seek out and unlock a concealed pre-war secret, revealing to Nova that she is a part of something greater than she could have ever imagined.

(This story is set twenty-five years before the adventures of Littlepip.)

Contains scenes of gore and strong language.

War has a way of searing more than pelt. As the ponies of Equestria engage in a titanic struggle for survival, it will take a stout few to weather the cackling mania that threatens to consume all.

What happens when the Reds and Blues finally get Church out of the Epsilon unit? Caboose decides he wants a turn in the unit, of course! What happens next? Well let's just say he always did say he wanted a pony, now he has a world full of them.

[Before asking questions in the comments, please read!]
- The first chapter is the end of the ninth season. I put it there just to ease the flow of the story.
- You will probably be extremely confused if you have not seen the last two seasons of Red vs Blue.
- You will probably be even MORE confused if you have never heard of Caboose.
- I placed a series of hyphens to show when the story becomes my own work during the prologue.

You know, every day I try to be a normal kid. I go to school, do my homework, and hang out with my friends. I've always dreamed of having a pony as a pet. But now my room is filled with these technicolor ponies and I'm just about ready to kill myself. I've read all the damn fics about how awesome it would be to have a pony in real life, but Celestia damnit this sucks balls. Pinkie, what did I tell you about disobeying physics!

Discord’s escape had threatened the fragile peace of Equestria, but that vile manipulator was back in his prison now. Everything could return to normal. Life went on as if nothing had happened.
And yet, unwittingly, his release had triggered an old seed the draconequus had planted prior to his first capture, some thousand years in the past.
An explorer from Ponyville will uncover Discord’s last ditch plan and set in motion a series of events that will change the very face of Equestria and its inhabitants.
Why would he do such a thing, you ask?
It’s simple: He’s a nosy bugger.
Curiosity killed the cat, as the saying goes.
