1000 years ago Nightmare Moon was banished to the moon for her envy, or so the story goes.

History is written by the victor, and in her current state Princess Luna doesn't remember the atrocities her sister committed in the name of Order and Perfection. But now, four ancient warriors who remember rise, and they have one mission, rewrite that history.

Commander Icarus Nightwing leads a team of the finest soldiers from the Old Republic to fight against the Tyrant Celestia, but it will not be easy. During the millennia they spent slumbering the Goddess has been consolidating her power. They need to be careful, infiltrate and hit when she is vulnerable.

The key is the Elements of Harmony, but how can Icarus convince the Loyal Rainbow Dash that her loyalty is blind, the Honest Apple Jack that her monarch has lied to her, or Celestia's faithful student Twilight Sparkle that her faith is misplaced?

The night is darkest just before the dawn, and its time for the eternal night to end, its time for freedom, its time for the New Luna Republic

Interesting description, hoping the OC's arent mary-sue's though, but ill give it a read :eeyup:

Pretty good so far!
This has a lot of flavor and a lot of taste. Don't let all of this go to waste!

Read this story, I will not, but still I must ask, wtf does the description mean, I don't even, time for eternal night to end? Celestia's faithful student? New Lunar Republic? Celestia and Eternal night ending does not mix.

Ugh (Sigh directed at my mind), don't worry the themes that I'm dealing with I'm having a hard enough time processing myself, even if they were I don't think that I'm mentally able to create a flawless character, well at least as a protagonist.

Really good intro. Ill be tracking
Im actually working on a similar idea myself, and got the first chapters published yesterday ^^
Keep up with the good work:raritywink:

In my mind eternal night is a metaphor for Tyranny, not literal night
Celestia is a monarch that has ruled for 1000 years
The Solar Empire is the name of Celestia's Regime
The New Luna Republic is the name of the resistance movement
Nightmare Moon was propaganda
The whole idea of the story is "The themes of the show taken to their logical extremest conclusion"

^.^ ... wait... you had A SIMILAR IDEA!!!

-.- ... I'll be watching you, FOREVER ((^.^))

Possible spoliers... I don't really know

I've been thinking more and more about what you've said, cause it is a concern... The thing is I myself try to be perfect, to fit within my own definition of perfection anyway, but I'm human and as a human I am doomed to fail, that is part of being human.

Now I know it's weird to call a pony human... but really thats the crux of why MLP:FIM has become so popular, the characters are human. When I write (And especially when I do the flirty things, R34 doesn't exist, DOESN'T EXIST) I'm imagining humans with wings or a unicorn horn and a tramp stamp (Then ctrl + f Hands and feet, replace with hooves). Part of being human is trying to be perfect and failing in a moment of weakness. Part of being human is having ideals, having those ideals challenged and having doubt. But part of being human is overcoming weakness by relying on those around you and finding it within yourself to continue fighting for what you KNOW is right.

A wise Turian once said "there is only so much fight in someone before your brother picks you up, dusts you off and kicks your arse back into the fight"

I hope that allays some of your concerns

371146 First of all... new chapter Yay! That was quite fast . havent time to read it jet.

On the other hand, only the most general idea of my story has a similarity, and another part that, for not spoiling the plot, will remain secret. Anyway, you mustnt worry, i planned the story like a month ago, when i started t write( few free timebecause exams , so ive been writing solwly ).

As i said , keep up with the good work, ill start reading the new chapter right now ^^

I'm not worried, its natural that people have a problem with the Solar Empire, because... RISE MY BRONYS, RISE AGAINST THE OPPRESSION OF CELESTIAL. I was kidding

::is aware that he has a problem::

YOU HEARD ME!

Ok, yes sloppy editing *Sigh*

That comment made me laugh quite loudly.
Now my mom is trying to see what I am doing, nosy woman. :trixieshiftright:

375580 damn, i didn't think that through did i? :pinkiesick:

Someone paid attention in physics class...

Not really, Just far too much Star Trek... and no Q will not be making an appearance, and his name IS Q, I don't know where people are getting this discord nonsense

I mean the idea that an un-aerodynamic object travelling faster than the speed of sound would cause an air compression behind said object so intense that if forms a singularity/forces darkmatter into our universe is ludicrous, however so is the idea that breaking the speed of sound with break the light spectrum.

388606 no Q?!?! :flutterrage:. rage ooh btw im also making a new one! My 2nd Fiction Q will be in it :pinkiehappy:
if you have the time can you take a look, ugh i havnt edited yet nor has my mate helped me yet, but he's editing it voluntarily so he can take as long as he likes :yay:

Q doesn't need to be in EVERY friggin' story, especially one where Celestia is the antagonist...

Saying that one could argue that the Protagonist is an agent of chaos... I dunno, I'm kindo of split on the themes of the narrative my self and I KNOW how it plays out, I would expect (Hope) that it would polarise the audience, but then I don't think I'm good enough to pull that off.

Worth a shot though!

Oh, and plug much!?! :trixieshiftright:

Congrats dude. This chapter was awsome!

Alternate but possibly canon history...well-done! :twilightsmile::twilightsmile:

Silver out!

374253 I had to read that a second time to understand the joke.

Spitfire!? Fighting for the EMPIRE?!?

FUUUUUUUUCK NOOOOOOO!

"(“Why does every mare/mare couple have one unicorn?”)"

Appledash.

Someone got fired :ajbemused: (More work)
I fell of my motorcycle :derpyderp2: (Oggy Knobs so my Ninja is fine, and that's the Important thing... ow [I'm fine before you ask, just a little lost skin and some abrasions, walked funny for a month though])
Celestia Likes Cake (She got humanised :rainbowderp: ), that took the wind out of my sails a bit
And the personal journey I was on when I started typing this came to a close when I realised I have psychokinetic powers :pinkiehappy: (I fell of my bike after I started believing in physics again... which cause me to think that reality is subjective :pinkiecrazy: )
Then I joined a sex cult

Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while, but, you know life as a high priest has been busy in the lead up to the winter solstice. Ok, I kid about the last one, Wiccan's don't like it when you call them a sex cult... but come on; Sky Clad rituals guys? ... I can't take my self seriously, so I can't take my beliefs seriously either, that's why when I do my rituals for the maiden, I think of the maiden as Haruhi Susumiya.

*some one thumbs downed my story *is cut* I demand constructive... actually no... yeah proofing, CBF, first two chapters, cringe @ the metaphors. still :fluttercry:

im begging you please more:fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry::fluttercry:

Will track as conspiracy.

Well icarus,Spitty loves you. And you love her. But what about luna? You've backed yourself in a corner. Just remember that the republic. Allways. Comes. First.

Six years and its still dead

I'm surprised that this doesn't have more upvotes given the number of views it's gotten
