//------------------------------// // A Very Special Visitor // Story: PLR: Union of Soviet Equestrian States // by Caesar2013 //------------------------------// The next day at school, the young foals, colts and fillies alike went back to the school as they all regarded Cheerilee as their favorite teacher. However, something was wrong to them. There was no and Diamond Tiara was more distraught than usual. "What's wrong Diamond Tiara?" Applebloom asked the spoiled filly. Normally Applebloom wouldn't associate herself with Diamond Tiara, but it was apparent to her, that Diamond Tiara was very shaken up. "They took my daddy!" Diamond Tiara said with a burst of tears "Who took your daddy?" Sweetie Belle asked "I don't know! Ponies in black, they came, they put him in hoofcuffs and took him! Wahahahaha" Diamond Tiara said crying. "Don't worry Diamond Tiara, i'm sure it isn't serious." Applebloom said in a reassuring tone. While Applebloom honestly didn't like Diamond Tiara, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Applebloom, why are you comforting her? After what she says about us?" Scootaloo said to Applebloom in a hushed tone of voice. "I don't know Scoots, I just feel bad for her that's all." Applebloom said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Ring ring ring ring!" The class bell had rung, calling the students to class. As the foals entered the school room, they noticed something very strange. Cheerilee wasn't there, and instead there was a strange new pony. "Umm who are you?" Applebloom asked the strange new pony said "Ah you must be one of my new pupils. I'm Dusty. I've been sent directly from Fillydelphia to be your new teacher." Dusty said putting a suitcase on the desk "But where's our old teacher, Ms. Cheerilee?" asked Scootaloo The stallion started chuckling to himself at the mention of Ms. Cheerilee. "Ms. Cheerilee, has had the unfortunate problem of spreading lies to young children.. our comrades felt that she needed to... "move on." Dusty said "Move on?" Applebloom said. "But wouldn't she have told us?" Dusty merely smiled at the pony. "Ah what a young and inquistive mind. That will get you far in this classroom. Now take your seats foals." "But you didn't answer my question." Applebloom said "And you didn't heed my order, please.. TAKE. YOUR. SEAT!" Dusty said loudly "Okay!" Applebloom and her friends rushed to go back to their seats with the other foals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dusty got out of his seat at the desk and adressed the class. "Hello foals, I am your new teacher, Dusty. The Pony Committee of Education has sent me down here to teach your minds for future use to ponies everywhere. I will teach and you will learn. Dissent of the Party will not be tolerated, and henceforth with be punished swiftly. Now time for the national anthem." Dusty said as the foals got up to do the national anthem When the anthem was completed, Dusty began handing out new books. "Your old teacher, threw out knowledge sent by the state.. however, it is not her choice to decide. I will teach you all the true history of Equestria and how our leaders have produced a paradise for all ponies to enjoy. Now open your books." From there, the foals of the classroom continued reading the book. "Teacher! It says unicorns enslaved the earth ponies! I never enslaved anyone!" Sweetie Belle called out "Of course not... they weren't slaves... they were serfs. Not shut up imperialit and keep reading." Dusty yelled "You can't talk to her like that!" Scootaloo yelled "Cheerilee wouldn't treat us like that." Dusty was very angry that these foals were speaking out against him. An attack on him, was an attack on the party. "Detention! Both of you!" Dusty says. "I do not want to hear the name of another traitor in this classroom again!" "But Ms. Cheerilee isn't a traitor!" Sweetie Belle said "Would you like to stay for detention longer?" Dusty said "NO! Please no!" Sweetie Belle said "Then I suggest you shut up!" Dusty said Although angry, the foals continued to read the books that they were given, even though the words were hurtful. "Unicorns and Alicorns continued to enslave the Earth ponies. Some earth ponies escaped the toil of labor to form groups called businesses. There, they would force the earth ponies to work even harder for little pay if given any. Another name for these traitors are Bourgoise. The ponies forced to work were called the proletariat." "Teacher! Umm Mr. Dusty!" Applebloom raised her hoof."What's a bourgoise and proletarat?" Dusty smiled and chuckled on how the names were worded. "The proletariat are the common pony that toiled under the yoke of the bourgoise. They are the traitors and slave drivers of common ponies. Nearly everyone in this room is a prolertariat …. except for a few.." Dusty said glaring at Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, and Sweetie Belle "But don't worry Applebloom, they can't hurt you now. No longer are they boogeyponies. But rather they are beaten and broken." Dusty finished After the readings were done, Dusty explained as how the Crystal Empire sought to destroy Equestria. "They are jealous of the common pony's accomplishments. Their bourgoise leaders, and queen wish to destroy everything we have accomplished! It's only a manner of time until they invade." Snips and Snails, started to panic. "Oh no! Not the Crystal Empire! Ahhhh!" The two dimwitted ponies said in unison. "So, the Council has decided to set up a Youth Militia. To train foals everywhere the art of war, so when the time comes for a final confrontation... we'll win the war." Snips and Snails began cheering in the class. "Yeah! Go Common Pony! Yay!" "Our other enemies, the griffons and changelings challenge our borders to the north." Dusty said using his yard stick to point on the map the griffon kingdom. "But the time will come when revolution comes kncoking on their doors." Dusty said "YEAH! Go revolution!" Snips and Snails continue cheering -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The days went by in Ponyville, until one day, Dusty said they had a very special visitor. "Foals, today we have a special guest. A pony who took part in the revolution himself. And... the right hand stallion of our Genius Bucephalus, Ground Rider!" Dusty said clapping his hooves The foals turned to the door and saw a grinning pony standing in the hallway flanked by members of the CPS (Committee for Pony Security). "Thank you comrade. Dear foals, I am Ground Rider. Defender of the revolution. I come... as a honored guest and speaker. The sacrifices your elders made a year ago, will pave the way for a better future.. for all of you." Ground Rider began telling the schoolfoals of his role in the revolution.. though withholding his betraying Bucephalus and Big Macintosh. Eventually after an hour or so of talking, Ground Rider finally finishes. "Now... foals, no you are comrades now. Do you have any questions?" Ground Rider asked "Yeah yeah over here!" Snips and Snails wave their hooves, impressed with Ground Rider's speech. "Anyother pony have questions?" Ground Rider asked "Hey are you the pony that was friends with my older brother?" Applebloom asked "...Hmmm are you Big Macintosh's little sister? I know he had one." Ground Rider said curious about Applebloom "Yep! My big brother was the biggest pony in town. Have you seen him?" Applebloom said -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Ground Rider was asked if he'd seen Big Macintosh, all Ground Rider had was a flashback of him killing Big Macintosh and Bucephalus. Flash Back "So this is where the path to power ends, comrade Big Mac." Ground Rider walked around the table and corpse of Bucephalus, towards Big Mac. "I guess this makes me the new...Premier... no... not of the PLR, the new Premier of Equestria." Big Mac backed away from the now power crazed Ground Rider. "Where are you going Big Macintosh? You still need your reward." Big makes a look of fear as Ground Rider pulls out his crossbow, and points it towards Big Macintosh. Cocking the crossbow, Ground Rider fires the crossbow, launching the bolt into Big Macintosh's head. Big Macintosh falls to the ground. Dead. "Your eternal reward." Ground Rider Finishes Flash Back End -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground Rider chuckled a bit about having betrayed both Big Mac and Bucephalus, but then he faked a look of sorrow. "Yes... I knew him." Ground Rider said faking a tear. "You see we fought in the revolution together in many battles. He was a very brave pony, saving my life on more than one occasion. I saw as he led the charge on the imperialists. Though he was taken down, he will be remembered in the hearts and minds of all ponies for his deeds for the revolution. You will do well, young Applebloom to follow his footsteps." Applebloom felt sad from knowing her older brother died. "But... he died a hero?" Applebloom asked Ground Rider smiled. "Yes, he died a hero. You all would do well to follow Big Mac's example. The revolution is still not over! URRAH!"
