Spike Drake has recently graduated from boot camp and is now a full-fledged member of the Alliance military. For his first mission, he has to investigate attacks on far-off colonies in Citadel Space. To help him with this, he's been given a whole ship and a crew to command. And now they rush off to investigate the threat. Most think it may be Batarians, but this doesn't fit their usual MO. Something else is behind this.

From the world of Sonic The Hedgehog x My Little Pony

Keep in mind, this story is not canon to whatever he's making so far. I just got his "blessing" to create this story and inspire it in his world.

Also, the Cover was made by him, so thanks for that!

On a technical note, the rhythm here is supposed to be iambic pentameter from stem to stern. The rhyme scheme traces its roots back to the terza rima Dante Alighieri first used five hundred years ago in the Divine Comedy, but I'm using the English-language variation that Percy Shelley came up with a little over two hundred years ago for his "Ode to the West Wind." This variation inserts couplets after four stanzas of terza rima to break the narrative into something kind of like a series of Shakespearean sonnets.

Because, I mean, why wouldn't a person do that?

Octavia Melody and the crew of Defiance are stationed on the outer edge of Imperial space, stuck patrolling a quiet sector. That changes when they are attacked by an unusually well-coordinated group of space pirates. After her request to pursue the pirates is denied by her superiors, Octavia convinces her crew to join her and track down their assailants in spite of their orders. Now, they embark on a one-way trip in hopes of finding the hiding place of the Azure Syndicate and, possibly, a place in the history holobooks.

This story was something I attempted to write ages ago and found myself unable to continue in a way I liked. I figured I would at least publish what I have, and maybe inspire someone else to take a swing at a similar concept.

Ponish civilization is thriving. It’s cities grow to unheard of heights, and ponies live in an era of peace and security. Continued progress brings about sweeping changes to everyday life, prosperity and productivity thriving unbounded. To some, this world might be considered a paradise.

But to others, it is little more than a gilded cage, limiting their true potential and ambition. Even in a golden age, there exist those who would strike out against fate, deny the world the straight path forwards that it craves. Who would divert the course of history to further their own ideals, their own beliefs, to create the world they wish to see; even if the path there means wading through seas of blood.

This is their story. To restore the birthright of all pony-kind, they will strike out against the order of the world on a mission that could bring ponish civilization itself to the brink of annihilation... And perhaps birth something new to take its place.

Present tense, third person. Rating was hard for me to decide since 95% of the story would be fine with just a teen rating and violence tag. I’ll put content warnings on the other 5% of the story, but I promise nothing too graphic (beyond graphic violence at least) or explicitly torturous/sexual/vulgar/etc. will be in the story. The prologue chapters (one through five) are specifically designed to be a microcosm of the story as a whole so that should give you a good idea of the general level of heaviness to expect. Updates will be weekly until I am caught up, then biweekly from then on.

For returning readers: if you don’t want to read the modified early parts of the story but just want to pick up where the story was before I felt the need to restructure it, I have a list of important changes that you would need to understand here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17cGrtddaVwdfL7njNWhh9Qk76pByv44rEz3ElZYZfok/edit?usp=sharing

Somewhere in there, Astral Nebula will find the blueprint to rebuild the magitech portal that will free everyone from the pocket dimension they're trapped in, but all she learned from her grandparents and elders mean nothing in this new reality left behind by the immortals and magic.
