The Goblin kingdom, a surprisingly docile and passive people, who only attack in self defense. Which is good for everyone else, because the goblins have one of the most dangerously efficient military systems in the world. Crossing these people is suicide, so most countries just leave them alone. But, when an opportunistic dictator seizes control of the kingdom and forces the people into a crusade against the rest of the world, with Equestria being their first stop, the kingdoms of Equestria must band together to defend their homes against an overwhelming threat. Friendships will be tested, blood will be shed, and moralities will clash. If Equestria burns, then the world will burn soon after.

Okay, the major problem with the start here is that it starts out with Celestia simply having a vision of war. It sounds like a deus ex machina to start off the plot of the story. What I would suggest is make the tension build up: perhaps have a scene with Celestia meeting with a goblin or getting a letter from them and using that to establish that there is something wrong.
This chapter is probably the reason people are overreacting and giving your story several downvotes: you ship Flashlight. I do not have a problem with that at all—I ship them as well—but you do have to understand that that shipping was a risk. Having them already in the midst of a relationship was an even bigger risk, because doing so does not give the reader a chance to learn much about Flash's personality or how their relationship evolved. While this is somewhat excusable here for the sake of the story, I do want you to understand just why this is a problem for some.

Thank you so much for the comment and the critique. I've been waiting for someone to take the time to tell me what I may be doing wrong. I'll take what you have to say into consideration, and hopefully I'll get a few more up votes.
Hope you enjoy the story ^_^
