Chapter 1
The Day the Goddess was Resurrected



It was a fine day in Ponyville when the Cutie Mark Crusaders were playing around in the plaza. A prophet stood there, chanting his quote “Repent! The superior ones have come to our sacred land to fight themselves!” over and over again. Applebloom didn’t get the message he was trying to spread. In Everfree Forest, the superior ones the prophet mentioned, known as Earthlings, prepared themselves for an all out attack against their enemies they refer to as the Neo Axis. It wasn’t long until an airborne fight broke out above Ponyville, which caused most citizens to panic. Fluttershy screamed as she saw a giant robot came crashing down upon her home.

The first ever intergalactic war was waged between the Galactic Alliance and the Neo Axis. This war lasted for 7 years and it reached Equestria, the planet of the horses. Blood, combative and innocent alike, was spilled. The foreign conflict lasted for 13 hours. The most recognized weapon of this event was the titan, humanoid tanks capable wielding different weapons designed for them. During the battle, Princess Celestia was killed after getting caught in the middle of a firefight. When the invasion ended, the natives came to call this terrifying battle Judgement Day. The Galactic Alliance held a funeral for Celestia to prove that they came in peace. Scootaloo walked up to Nyx and said “I swear Nyx, I swear I’ll destroy Neo Axis!”



Ten years have passed since the cruel incident. In New Canterlot, an Alliance cargo truck was passing through the highway. “No food? No movies? No service? I’m outta here!” Rainbow Dash declared before jumping off the roof of the truck and started hoverboarding. “Get back to your post Rain… Ah forget it.” a Caucasian Earthling grumbled, who was upset with Dash’s actions. “What’s wrong Dante?” asked the Japanese Earthling. “She’s at it again Yamato.” Dante replied. “It’s like babysitting a drug addict.” “At least she’s behind us.” said Yamato.

In human teen’s home, Cheerilee was struggling with which card to use. “Admit it you farm whore, there’s no way you can beat me in the game of Magic!” the teen taunted. She was worried until Scootaloo barged in. “I’m glad that you came to save me!” said Cheerilee. “An ex-student of yours, don’t make me laugh.” said the teen. He was confident that he can beat Equestrians. “In case you didn’t know you dirty ape, my name is Scootaloo” said the orange pegasus as she took Cheerilee’s seat. “If you’re ready for defeat, then be my guest.” the teen bragged. Scootaloo grinned as she played the weakest card in Cheerilee’s hand. The teen laughed at Scootaloo’s choice. “Is that the best you can do?” he insulted Scootaloo for it.

Rainbow Dash was keeping the eye out for trouble, she then witnessed enemy gunships. “Heads up!” she screamed. It wasn’t long until Yamato activated the auto-turrets to protect Pandora’s Box, which was loaded into the truck. Dash jumped back into the truck to keep herself safe from gunfire.

“Wow! You really taught him a lesson!” Sweetie Belle cheered for Scootaloo, who humiliated the teen she defeated earlier. “It was nothing.” she responded. The two ponies got on Scootaloo’s motor bike, which was fitted with a passenger’s cab, then took off into the highway. “Why did you play a weak card first?” asked Sweetie Belle. “If a leader won’t train the weak, how can he become a strong person?” Scootaloo replied. There was a brief moment of silence. “Are you dreaming to rule the world?” Sweetie Belle asked again. “Nah, such dreams as that can mess up what you’re really are.” said Scootaloo

The auto-turrets had taken too much damage, rendering them useless. Rainbow Dash knew that the mission will fail if Pandora’s Box falls into the wrong hands, so she had no other choice. “I’ll try to keep them busy, just punch it Yamato!” she yelled before jumping out of the truck again, this time she planned to distract the enemy just to buy her comrades more time. “Man, she’s going all out.” Dante sighed as he watched. “We still got a job to finish.” Yamato replied. He was so focused on keeping the box safe from enemy reach that he did not pay attention to the motorcycle. When he checked the road in front of him, he realized that he was dangerously faster than the bike itself. “Move you damn kids!” Yamato yelled, causing him to steer off course and crash into an incomplete building.

Scootaloo panicked as she heard the driver yell at her. The truck behind her crashed, attracting citizens that had them worried. “Is this some kind of accident?” asked an Earthling. “Don’t you think we should help them?” asked a yellow pegasus with green mane and tail as he took the picture of the accident with his cell phone. “Aw crap.” Scootaloo sighed as she got off her bike. “Where are you going?” asked Sweetie. “I’m going to check if the driver is okay.” Scootaloo responded as she rushes to see if the victims are alive. “Wait!!” yelled Sweetie, but Scootaloo ignored her. She was worried about the accident. “What am I going to do with Scoots?” Sweetie Belle sighed.

Rainbow Dash wasn’t able to distract the enemy gunships for long. A simple turret sweep was all it took to knock the cyan pegasus off of her hoverboard. She got up and watched as the gunship flew past her, then activated her codec system. “Dante, they slipped past me, so expect some trouble from them.” said Dash. Dante heard her over his frequency and said “Thanks for nothing, Yamato just wrecked our ride!” “Don’t worry, I know this truck very well.” said Yamato as he was searching for an emergency starter.

Scootaloo climbed up to the roof of the truck that crashed earlier. “Hello? Is anyone alright?” she asked. “Did you hear me? I said is anyone okay?” “I know you want to help, but we’re going to be late for class!” Sweetie Belle protested, but Scootaloo still ignored her. The sudden movement of the truck caused her to fall through the trap door into the truck itself. “SCOOTALOO!!!!” Sweetie panicked as she watched the truck go back to the road and took off. “Hey! Do you even know that I fell in? Hello?” Scootaloo complained, as she was desperate to get out.

It wasn’t long until the gunships caught up with the truck. They started to shoot down the rear tires first. “We’re taking some serious pounding, I don’t think the truck can go faster at this rate.” complained Yamato. “That’s why I’m got assigned to this mission.” Dante spoke in a bold tone as he went to the cargo area. Scootaloo noticed movement and hid behind the large, metal crate. An Earthling emerged from the door and walked past the crate. “He looks kinda familiar, I can’t put my hoof on it though” Scootaloo thought to herself as she watched.

The rear tires blew out after well-placed shots struck them. One of the gunships aimed the railgun at the truck, with the pilot hoping it’ll deal a final blow on the truck’s mobility. “You’re going down now.” he thought as he was taking aim. Unfortunately, he ate his own words as his gunship was being riddled with bullets before exploding. “Check the source of the counterattack!” another pilot demanded. His teammate surveyed the truck and found a giant monster, made of metal and armed with a machine gun. “A titan!” he warned his comrades before he was shot out of the sky. The titan jumped out of the truck and its pilot, Dante, set the wheel gliders in reverse mode so it’ll keep up with the truck

“Crap! The Neo Axis is going for the truck!” Scootaloo panicked, knowing that the truck actually belonged to the Alliance. She looked around, hoping for a way to escape. Scootaloo turned to the trap door first. “No good. If I climb out, my chances of getting shot will be very high.” she thought as she turned to the back door. “That’s not good either, I’ll break my bones if I try to jump out.” Scootaloo was running out of options, her only chance of escape now was to wait until the truck goes into hiding and stops.

Dante wasted all but one gunship. He believed it was going to be easy, but he got a rude awakening as an enemy titan saved the gunship using its shield. “Krauser!” Dante screamed at his aggressive rival. “We meet again Dante,” said Krauser. “I am afraid that Pandora’s Box is meant for me.” “What you just said should go to hell!” yelled Dante. Him and Krauser started a fight to the death. Yamato saw an underground tunnel and turned the truck to that tunnel, evading Neo Axis’s assault.

Scootaloo checked the truck for more titans, but only found the last one. “If I can’t escape, the least I can do is to hold my own line.” she thought. The orange pegasus reopened the top of the back door, then got aboard the titan. The cockpit had a rather simple function and a sleek design. When Scootaloo tried to operate the titan, the nervous controller linked itself with her mind. “A little longer until the truck is safe.” Scootaloo believed that she can handle it.



“Pay attention all units! A cargo truck containing Pandora’s Box has come under attack and Sector PV is currently besieged by Neo Axis forces.” The voice spoke out through the speakers. “Your mission may vary, but you must carry them out at all costs!” The pilots got inside their titans, with each one following their objectives given to them. However, one pilot stood out from the rest. She wore a pilot uniform designed for a pegasus, but also wearing a uniform helmet designed for unicorns. As she prepared to carry out her assignment, she took a deep breath. “Spartan Mk.4, Unit 13, engaging armed surveillance.” the mysterious pilot declared.

Diamond Tiara was caught in a firefight, along with two of her former classmates Twist and Snails. She believed that the conflict will just end with the same result as Judgment Day. Diamond had to leave a cell phone message for Silver Spoon. “I bet she’s pretty worried about you.” Snails commented on her concern. “I know, what really matters now is our survival.” Diamond Tiara replied. Twist aimed her rocket launcher at one of the Neo Axis titans and fired. The rocket struck a titan’s head and exploded, blinding the pilot inside.

“So far, so good. I wished Dash was around.” said Yamato. The truck kept going through the tunnel until it rammed into the trap a Neo Axis squad had prepared. The explosion had it pinned down. Scootaloo felt the titan shaking, and then its legs started to malfunction. “What now?” she thought. Scootaloo was worried, what if the attack squad planned the ambush? She does not know for sure. The orange pegasus started to peek out of the titan.

The mysterious pilot managed to reach the truck before the enemy could. She scanned for any Neo Axis units, but found a foreign pegasus inside a titan next to the large, metal crate. She knew that Ponyville was under attack, so she decided to shoot first and ask questions later. The mysterious pilot opened fire on the stranger. She was startled by gunfire, causing her to fall out of the titan. She had an orange coat and violet mane and tail. The stranger recovered with seconds and started to wave her front hooves. “Hey! Wrong pony!” she yelled.

The pilot was shocked that she attacked Scootaloo, who she considers a friend. She jumped out of her titan and rushed after her. “Are you okay Scootaloo?” asked the pilot. The orange pegasus could not believe her ears. “Was that you Nyx?” Scootaloo asked the mysterious pilot. She watched as the pilot took off her helmet, revealing herself as Nyx. “I’m very sorry about that.” she apologized to Scootaloo. “It’s cool, glad that you remembered an familiar face.” Scootaloo replied.

Yamato got out of the driver seat, injured from a near fatal crash. The first thing he saw after getting outside was a black alicorn and an orange pegasus. “Nyx, I need to tell you something.” Yamato spoke out to her. “See that metal crate over there?” “What about it?” Nyx asked. She knew who Yamato was. “It’s known as Pandora’s Box, it contains a secret weapon.” He continued. “I need you to bring the box to the research center at Sector PV.”

A titan, with a white paint job and vinyl records and a musical note as decals, was rampaging in Ponyville. It destroyed half of the Neo Axis titans. “I hope that you like those apes of yours becoming pieces of garbage!” the pilot, whose name was Vinyl Scratch, taunted the attackers. A group of three enemy titans started to charge against the DJ unicorn, but two was impaled with launched wrist stakes and the third one was crushed between the two downed titans.

“I’ll buy the two of you some time, now get going!” Yamato ordered. Nyx used her telekinesis spell on Pandora’s Box, making it float without any effort. It wasn’t surprising to Scootaloo as she was aware of how powerful alicorns are. “Let’s go, we’ll finish this for Yamato’s sake.” said Nyx. The two friends carried off with Pandora’s Box, while Yamato boarded the damaged titan. He then kept a look out for Neo Axis soldiers. “Forgive me Kairi, but I must delay the inevitable.” Yamato then opened fire on the first enemy titan to cross the line he made up.

“What’s the secret weapon Nyx?” Scootaloo asked as she and Nyx hurried through the tunnel. “It’s the shame that it’s classified.” Nyx answered with disappointment. As they ran with Pandora’s Box, an explosion was heard. “Yamato!” Scootaloo screamed with remorse. “We have to keep going!” Nyx reminded her friend. The two mares kept going, when they knew that Yamato’s funeral would have to wait. Nyx stopped for a moment. “I know about a shortcut here, follow me.” she said. Scootaloo agreed when she noticed an entry/exit road to her right. They started to take that path without opposition. When they made it out of the tunnel, Nyx found out that another trap was laid out in front of her. She stopped Scootaloo and told her “Keep quiet and they won’t know that we’re here.”

At New Canterlot’s academy for foreign students, Applebloom was worried about Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. She decided to call Sweetie first. “Sweetie Belle?” The mare from the farm called with her cell phone. “You’re not going to believe what was going on Applebloom.” Sweetie responded. “What the hay happened?” asked Applebloom. “Long story short, Scootaloo fell in the cargo truck when it moved and it just took off.” Sweetie Belle replied. “That’s very crazy, I’ll go callin for her. Bye!” said Applebloom before she cut off connection with Sweetie Belle and started to call Scootaloo.

Scootaloo and Nyx were waiting until the Neo Axis soldiers gave up and left. Unfortunately, the ringing of a cell phone blew their cover. Scootaloo desperately turned her phone off, but it was too late as the soldiers figured out where the noise was coming from. “It’s the end of the line for you stupid horses!” yelled the general of the trap squad. One soldier aimed at Scootaloo and fired, but Nyx got in the way and risked her life to save friend. “NYX! NO!” Scootaloo screamed as she watched the black alicorn die in front of her. The soldier pointed his gun at the orange pegasus again. “Don’t you even think that I only had one bullet.” he said.

“Scootaloo.” a voice spoke out to her. It was the ghost of Celestia, who raptures Scootaloo’s mind into a void resembling the sun temple. “You share the same burden as me.” said Celestia. “If you desire justice, then I will lend you what is left of my powers.” Scootaloo looked up to see a demonic, blue eye staring at her. “But in return, you must get mine, the dead from ten years ago, and your revenge.” Celestia offered Scootaloo not only a chance to fight back, but the remainder of the princess’s magic as well. “I’ll do it.” Scootaloo accepted Celestia’s offer and finds herself back where she was.

“Any last words before I shoot?” asked the threatening soldier. Scootaloo closed her eyes for a second before opening them again. Her left eye became dragonlike, enslaving the soldiers that stared at it. “As Scootaloo of Equestria, I command you to die!” the orange pegasus demanded. “As you wish master Scootaloo.” said the Neo Axis general. The soldiers laughed as they pointed their guns at their heads. The last thing they ever did lives is to pull the trigger.

Scootaloo watched as the soldiers kill themselves. Blood and corpses littered the floor. “Celestia’s revenge, this power, Judgment Day, why is all this making sense?” she asked herself in horror. “So this is what it’s like to be Solar Flare.” Scootaloos traumatized frown soon turned into a sinister grin.
