//------------------------------// // The war at hand // Story: The First World War // by TheSimsLego //------------------------------// May, 28th, 1001 Equestria was home to many colourful ponies who lived in a space of harmony and friendship. On the other side however, stands the humans, agro and ready to beat up anybody. These two sides are now at war. Zooming in on the pony side, we see a castle. And inside that castle- "Princess! Princess!" A purple pony ran through the courtyard where anyone could easily see a giant ship rotating above them. She had to ask the Princess what to do, how to orginize the rest of them and protect the ponies as everypony has done in the past. "Princess!" She took notice of a bomb being loaded and ready to fire. Countless ponies lives were being lost as the humans took every precaution to make sure those ponies would not keep their share of land. None of them ponies had made a promise to them, they just took it. It was time for Equestria to be theirs. "Princess!" A majestic pony sat on top of the throne. She had a horn, much like the purple pony. But she also had wings, and the ponies respected this royalty as an 'alicorn'. The alicorn slowly raised her head and looked at the panicking purple unicorn. "Yes Twilight?" The Alicorn asked. "They are attacking with floating ships and-" A large explosion was heard as the bomb hit the left side of the castle. The explosion was enough to knock Twilight off her hooves. The magic from her horn left her for a bit, then came back to her as she took some more breaths. "These creatures won't stop until they have destroyed our land. Twilight. I will be sending some royal guards and battlers to Ponyville. I need you to put the ponies of ponyville as watchers. We want pegasi. Is that clear?" The Alicorn told Twilight. "Yes it is. Princess Celestia, i won't let you down!" With this, Twilight turned and galloped out of the room. Celestia got up off her throne and teleported her self to the explosion. What she found made her gasp. There were still fragments of the bomb left around and her sister, Princess Luna, was badly hurt. Picking her up, she quickly teleported to the medical bay, just as a bomb flew right past her and into the lower prisons below. No prisoner escaped however, which was good. May, 29th, 1001 Twilight's POV The Train stopped and i hurried out. The train had to stop early and not at the train station because out of all the bombs the train was the one to be destroyed in an earlier explosion. So I got out and ran to the military corps to tell my friends of what was to happen. Unfortunatly, a human seized this chance. I got hit by two bombs, then they sent out those pistols (The Princess calls them guns) ans tried to shoot me. One hit me hard in my flank, and cried out in pain. But I had to keep going. Then the worst thing happened. I tripped. 3rd person mode Twilight felt her hoof break. She got hit by a rock in the head which channelled out her magic. However, a rainbow seemed to swoop round and pick her up. "Thanks Rainbow." "No Problem Twi."
