War…War never changes. Nearly 300 years ago, the ideals of friendship and magic gave way to hatred and greed. Almost 100 years ago, these ideals returned to Equestria, following the activation of the Guardians of Equestria. In the century following, the ravished ponies of Equestria have managed to rebuild civilization. Many stories have been made after the dropping of the megaspells and missiles, and they are still being made to this day. In order to understand the now, one must understand the past. The world that ponies knew 300 years ago was decimated by war. Few managed to survive, but those who did, did so in huge, underground, stables. When the war was over, and all of ponykind above ground was destroyed for the most part, the stables opened, releasing the ponies who survived into the wastes. All of them opened, except for stable 2, which wouldn't open for another 200 years. Suffice to say, the ponies have lived though all kinds of hell, but there are those who suffered even more than they. They are the dragons. Without any lands to call their own to begin with, they mostly exterminated in the endgame. Only a dozen initially survived. Only 3 are alive today. One, wants to revive its race. With the permission of the High Council of United Equestria, the dragon was given permission to select two ponies, zebra, or griffon to accompany him. This is the story of their travels to find the legends of the dragon lands. First however, they need to find the dragon lands.

"Good morning beautiful." A green unicorn stallion, with a blood red and green striped and spiked mane and tail, and a cutie mark of a glowing green metallic cube, says to the mare beside him on their bunk at the New Equestria Guard station at the Cloudsdale site.
"Good morning." A purple mare, a unicorn as well, in the bed next to him replies. The purple mare has a long, black and sapphire blue mane and tail, as well as a cutie mark of a crimson rabbit skull.
'Mechant Vorse, Beastian Iris, the branch captain wants you in his office for mission brief in two hours.' The voice of a stallion informs the two ponies through a telepathic link.
"Well I guess we finally are getting that assignment." Vorse, the green unicorn, says, before getting out of the rack, and levitating his military armor, a custom powersuit, on. The suit had magic veins flowing around the outside, flowing from the center of the back to the front hooves, which where larger than they normally are. The magic cell box on the back was also larger, holding four more cells than the normal suits. This suit was also missing the helmet, where instead, there was a visor that connected to the cell box.
"It's about bucking time." Iris replies, levitating a light military outfit, reminiscent of the pre-war royal guard armor, but very much dulled in color, but reinforced with scrap metal.
"Wonder what it is this time?" Vorse asks, visually noting Iris's flank while he gets his armor on. "Probably just relocating us. Maybe it is to one of the borderland stations. We may get some action yet."
"Who knows where we are going. There are sure to be surprises no matter where we are."
"You know that's right." Vorse states, finally finishing the last clasps of his armor, and Iris doing the same.
"Let's just get up there." Iris says, in a rush to get some action.
"And people wonder why I like that mare."

"Look here you two." The branch captain says, addressing Vorse and Iris. "You two are going on a suicide mission.
