Brothers in an Equestrian War
“Come on!” I yelled as I flew threw over the field dodging magic blasts and bullets. How did this happen?!. I thought to myself as I watched as the two opposing armies of light and dark collide.
It was all so peaceful just months ago! I thought as I saw ponies from each side fall in the battle.
“I hope I can find him” I said when my mind wandered to the past and of how nice it was before the war between Celestia and Luna erupted and tore the nation apart.
Flashback to two months earlier
“Come on Techno! Let’s sign up for the war!” my brother said examining one of the posters for Celestials’ army showing the element of generosity looking at you and telling you to join their troops.
“I don’t know about that man.” I said while he turned to me.
“I mean if I do we would kill each other” I said casually with a bit of nervousness since he has a bad temper
“What do you mean Techno? You can’t POSSIBALLY want to sign up for the New Lunar Republic?” he said as he walked closer with a blank stare that terrified me.
“W-Well, I truly think she has the right intentions… and we could even ELECT a new leader every three years.” I said trying to look down to meet his gaze.
“Little brother. Stop speaking nonsense.” He said as he stood in front of me.
“But you ARE shorter than me bro.” I said trying to add a bit of humor only to receive a hoof straight to the chest knocking me down.
“Shut up! You, you traitor! You betrayed Celestia!” and with those words he ran of with his head low towards the recruitment center for the Holy Solar Empire.
“Keyboard…” was all I managed to say my only relative and friend in the world ran off.
With that I picked myself up from the dirt road with tears in my eyes and walked towards the nearest recruitment center for the Republic passing a yellow Pegasus mare saying something about a peace corporation.
“Curse this war… oh Keyboard, please be safe.” I said under my breath as I entered the Ponyville center for Luna’s army.
“Why hello sir!” perky pony said from behind the desk.
“Um hello, I am here to sign up for The New Lunar Republic.” I said reaching the desk.
“OK sir, please fill out these forms for me please.” the mare said as she handed me a small stack of papers.
“OK miss.” I said taking a seat on a bench looking at the survey. It consisted mostly of questions on health and such.
“Here you go.” I said handing the papers to her.
“Thank you very much mister” she paused looking at the sheet. “Mr. Techno Aice. You will report to the training grounds tomorrow an o 700 hours.” She said handing my files to a lean Pegasus who flew off to I guess Luna’s camp. then going to a storage room then handing me a dark blue case. "this is your Armour, you are now a soldier of the New Lunar Republic
“Yes ma'am. Thank you.” I said taking the case before leaving the building toward my home above my music shop I used to run with my brother.
“Keyboard? Are you here?” gaining no response I searched the entire building trying to find him. I found his room has been emptied of all his possessions. “No.” I said falling to my knees. “He left. I can’t believe it.”
I went to my room and prepared my stuff to take. My music player Keyboard gave me last year, my favorite clothes including my worn canvas trench coat, my green vinyl glasses given to me by Vinyl Scratch on opening day, and a picture of me and Keyboard smiling in front of the shop on opening day and put it in a small pouch and hung the bag around my neck.
“Be safe brother. I will meet you again, lets hope not in battle.”
