"......You know, I am really starting to understand why Lyra never talked much about her home life. Her parents were messed up".
Twilight's summation of the information seized from the raid of the Heartstrings residence in Canterlot (not to be confused with the residence of the heir to the family Lyra Heartstrings, currently residing in Equestria with a special somepony) in a way that did not make Twilight want to vomit.
Noting the horrified look in her students eyes, Celestia decided to spare her the trouble of having to read whatever the recovered information was to her via a levitation spell.
As she began going from page to page, her eyes went wider and wider in horror.
'Our society, hidden in secrecy and recruiting only the most trusted among the Unicorns and Pegasi, has existed for the last 20 years, surveying beyond space and time with our magic. While the spawns of the higher nobility continued their endless song and dance of posturing, pretentiousness, and pettiness, we looked to create ourselves a new future, a new power, a new nobility to rule over'.
'To obtain our goals, we studied the most advanced of magics. The field of transformation, species alteration, and protective barriers have all been researched. Our crowning achievement is a magic that can forcefully turn any race that ingests it into Equestrians, with greatly weakened abilities to resist us. With the discovery of the alternate worlds, we have found the way to create our working class, and inevitably our loyal armies to enforce our conquest of these barbaric people'.
'In our observations, we have discovered the existence of hundreds upon hundreds of alternate universes. Some are inhabited by versions of ourselves, different in some way. In some, we merely ate a different lunch, in others Celestia was the one to go mad with power and get banished by her sane sister. These worlds we will not be able to conquer. Many others, however, are not versions of us, but worlds inhabited by other races. These worlds we will attack'.
'The most common race, it appears, are humans. Humans are aggressive creatures without magic, but instead invest in advanced technologies to achieve the same results where possible. Initial testings of abducted humans show that they are quite susceptible to our methods, henceforth to be called Conversion. Other races vary: a race resembling humans found on a dying world known as Krypton were even more susceptible, while non-human races, particularly ones made of living metal, are not as affected. Experimentation of the captured creature from a race known as the Bidoof have proven fruitless in cracking why they are immune to us. Direct extermination of those races highly recommended.'
'Recent events have sent Equestrian society into a state of flux. The return, and thenceforth purification, of the Alicorn once known as Nightmare Moon has led to a shifting of Celestia's attention off the nobility to aiding her sister's recovery. Further attention of the Princess continued to be diverted. This has opened up the window to begin operations'.
'52 members, or member-families in many cases, prepare to launch the grand operation. Each member or member-family will become the rulers of the soon-to-be pacified worlds. There is no hope for advancing up the social ladders in Equestria, the nobility in position today will block any rise by ourselves tomorrow. If one cannot reign in Canterlot, one may reign over a domain all their own.'
And those were just a few of the reports detailing their pre-invasion plans.
Had all this really happened under her watch?
The Princess bowed her head in dread.
"How....how could anypony even think like this?" Her ever faithful student cried "This is.......Tirek-like behavior!"
"Tirek, like most beings Twilight, is not alone in this world. His people likely look at him, and wonder why he'd ever act as he did. The same way people have looked at my sister and wondered why Nightmare Moon ever happened" Celestia gave a worldlorn sigh as she began looking at the data detailing the invasions "The only thing we can do now is to send in the Royal Guard to take these.......wannabe rulers back to Equestria and show them what justice is".
"It's too late for that" Twilight said darkly. Celestia found the tone in her student to be worrying, and began reading the reports.
She quickly understood why her student had stated it was too late.
'We have lost contact with half of our members. This, coupled with widespread setbacks across multiple worlds has led me to a unnerving fear. Could we be, losing? It's a bitter pill to swallow, but it may in fact be the truth. We must reverse this trend immediately. Some have suggested recruiting members of radical groups to fight with us, in exchange for a universe all their own. Better to be a noble in a kingdom run by another, than beheaded by the savages who run around the lands destined to be yours after all. Feelers have been sent to determine the viability of this measure in the face of growing desperation.'
'The Heartstring Kingdom is all that remains. We have lost all contact with the others. Were they really overtaken? By these brutes?! It is inconceivable that we could lose. Why didn't humanity just give up after over a year of warfare, where does this resilience come from? They are unlike anything we have in Equestria: it is as if their race has war engraved into their very being like magic in a Unicorn. What am I kidding, they have. They have waged wars since before they even knew what war was.'
'We have had many successes. The world that the creature called a Bidoof came from is now a world without man, though the other creatures of this world fight on in a frightening fury, and they had even managed to use a version of our own tactic to turn humans into themselves and somehow retain themselves in the process. In the world where piracy runs rampant, only the two least populous seas remained in human hands. The mighty nation Britannia fell to us in no time at all. But somehow, not even these victories lasted. At the most, we triumphed in a universe for six months, then the tide turned on us. Harshly.'
'The very first lands we took in the land once known as Mizu no Kuni are now being assaulted. These humans, these Ninja....we had caught them at first in a time of civil conflict between themselves. In this confusion, we had managed to make great headway. But now.....now they have driven us back to the very start. The last stand of the Heartstrings, begins. It is inconceivable, but I see no other way my life will end, then by the hand of the man called the Raikage.'
That was the last of them.
Celestia did not like the idea of her subjects dying, she actively worked to prevent it from both brutality and old age, though the last one was done on her own time and was not as well known.
But this.......this was a crime so horrible she was not going to lose sleep over it.
"This travesty.....it must be corrected at once" Celestia stated firmly "Untold numbers of beings have been irrevocably harmed by these self-deluded conquerors. Equestrian brutality caused them pain, and it must be Equestrian kindness that heals them. Summon your friends Twilight, we are going to need all the kindness, generosity, truth......"
KRAKBOOM!
A massive sound resonated across the residence of two of the world's rather low Alicorn population, as if reality had just gotten it's door kicked down by a giant bolt of lightning.
"That....doesn't sound good" Twilight observed with quite evident nervousness in her voice.
.....
Shining Armor being in Canterlot was the only reason said town had not been destroyed yet, and even then the barrier had already taken massive damage, and if hadn't been for the power of fatherly love and the love for the beautiful mother of the foal boosting his reserves and willpower it would likely have fallen already.
Because it seemed like a few dozen universe's of really angry creatures were trying to break it down and attack Canterlot, and thus put those two in great danger.
"RASENGAN!" a blond in orange and black shouted, as he and hundreds of identical versions of himself slammed blue spheres of energy in their hands into the barrier at once. Behind him hundreds of other humans, sharing a series of odd markings on their clothing that seemed to repel magic were throwing everything from metal knives to balls of fire to giant sand fists at the barrier.
"Bombarda!" Legions of dark robed humans shouted at the barrier, pointing sticks at it and sending out energy blasts the likes of which reminded the observing Princesses of Unicorns. Around them shimmered some sort of protective runes.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" several glowing humans with yellow, really spiky hair shouted in rage as energy blasts struck the barrier full force. They apparently did not need protection. The non-glowy humans and slug people also blasting the barrier did have some protections on them though, of a mechanical nature it seemed.
Several floating boats made of metal were attacking as well, and from these heli-boats many odd humans attacked. One of which was really green, and really angry.
In a lake partially protected by the barrier, regular boats floated. Of course, regular boast did not have people hitting the barrier with seemingly elastic fists, throwing lava at it, or punching it with a fist that hit like an earthquake.
"Pika-CHU!" A massive line of non-human creatures were assaulting from all angles: electric mice, fire-breathing dogs, dragonflies big enough to eat Applebloom, a giant serpentine green dragon, etc etc. They seemed to be everywhere, and were among the most furious beings attacking them.
A legion of giant robots, all adorned with a red symbol, were blasting them with energy attacks. They seemed to be able to change forms into devices that seemed to be the evolution of carriages and move across multiple fronts.
A giant turtle with a spiked shell and red hair was breathing fire on the barrier, as metal creatures with angry faces slammed into the barrier with explosive impacts.
More and more portals around the city continued to open, as more angry universes continued to attack the people who they saw as their enemy. A giant, angry, and naked human with brown hair and pointed ears who let loose a ear-piercing shriek as it lunged at the barrier, a legion of caped men and woman who flew at the barrier at hyper sonic speed, others coming in by ground, by plane, or by giant winged fish, a legion of smaller robots seemingly piloted by humans led by a masked human making hammy motions, black garbed swordsmen who seemed to run on top of air, odd humans who seemed to be half-squid or octopus who fought with paint, and a young human with a bald head and glowing arrow tattoos who seemed to be very, very angry at them and showed this by throwing a tornado at them.
Grimacing, Celestia's horn glowed as the barrier shimmered, now bolstered by her own powers "Twilight, I'm afraid it is now up to you. I need to put all my power and concentration to keep them from breaking through and harming innocent Equestrians in their misplaced anger at us."
"Me!?" Twilight sounded terrified of the prospect.
"Yes, you. Cadence has a foal to care for, Luna's not here, and I have much more practice keeping giant barriers up for extended periods against storms, meteor strikes, and floods than you do. I have the utmost faith you'll be able to show these hurt people that we are not the same as those who had hurt them where it truly counts".
Twilight's unease quickly morphed into determination, her mind racing with 10,000 plans to try and calm the attacking worlds down. However, following the storm of Pegasi riding (though not Equestrian Pegasi) swordspeople and another swordsmen who was riding a blue dragon easily Spikezilla size times two, came another giant robot.
This one was red.....and really big, and it had a drill as wide as the Apple family barn ready to attack them with.
"TAKE THIS! GIGA-DRILL-BREAKER!"
.....Peace was not going to be easy to achieve before the barrier fell.

So in other words Humans decide Equestria is evil and start murdering people. Well frankly peace is going to happen after the humans start to turn on one another once certain members of their group start to realize THEY are the aggressors. Once guys like Superman and Goku realize what they are doings is wrong they will demand the army stop, and MANY will refuse to stop or even slow down. Theis is inevitable too as many hero can sense who is evil and who is not (of have allies who can). Once morality comes into play the army will fracture ad many characters likely put aside past grievances and characters from worlds with much different moral compasses agreed to work together, the break down won't be pretty.
Put Halo and Star Wars in it.
6648345 To them Equestria was basically an alien enemy who attacked them for no reason and attempted, and in many cases did, cause severe damage to their worlds. It is not unreasonable for them to see them as evil thus and go after them to ensure that it doesn't happen again. And some can be talked down after a while, though not all of them.
6649040
Which is of course the point I was making. certain humans will easily accept that it wasn't Equestria proper that attacked them but rouge nobility. As I said good amount of powerful characters have abilities that will let them KNOW Equestria isn't the enemy, a lot of super hero and magic users. others will be hard to convince to stop and some others won't CARE and continue anyway. Conflict will inevitably happen. Also I do have a feeling that the ponies will in some cases take down their attackers or fight them to a standstill, not all of them of course some characters are too strong. Equestria does have heroes that can perform amazing feats but they are severely outnumbered. At lastly lets not forget some people on the human side WILL cross moral lines and attack ordinary Canterlot citizens, meaning the tension is already there.
A lot of my argument is I don't want Equestria to simply get steam rolled by a overwhelming force(it's a depressing and boring concept), but really when you think about it... the Alliance of Human worlds would be really unstable due to methodology and morality differences between members. There are lines one character would happily ignore another wouldn't cross or allow others to.
I like the idea of the CB being run completely without Celestia's knowledge, that it was all the nobility. Points for that.
Needs an Undertale reference, Sans would fit so well here.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Bad Girls like you are going to have a Bad time.
Signed,
Sans
P.S.
Toriel is mad...You do realize why she's the caretaker of the Underground right?
Hint: el is a common ending in the names of Angels and we all know where Hell is supposed to be right? Now find a copy of the real fucking Bible and read up on the war between heaven and hell. Not that damn New American shit they put in Catholic Churches, a real bible.
6649494 It does seem to be getting some good attention. This is just an idea, but would you guys be interested in an expanded story that looks at what happened in the year+ the invasions occurred?
Of course if I'd did I would need some brainstorming ideas, and some characters to actually fulfill the Pony antagonist role. Other than the Pokemon main bad to be a Pegasus with a Nazi esc name (BlitzStorm?), I've really got nothing there.
Awesome story. Any chance of seeing more chapters? I think it would be shame to leave it just a oneshot.
6649649 I'm not sure. To be honest the Crossover stuff wasn't what brought me here. The idea of Celestia not being coocoo for cocoapuffs was the main draw for me.
Admittedly I'd love to see the CB poke the hornet's nest that is the Imperium of Man from Warhammer 40k but with your idea it would see the brutal carnage on a mostly innocent Equestria when the invading nobility was beaten back. Crossover stories aren't usually my cup of tea but you might change my mind.
this is good
6649804 I am certainly not against working on more, though there is a issue.
They would likely be based prior to this chapter, AKA other worlds vs the Bureau stuff merely based on my muse. That also leads to a question I have, do I use this strict setup, or do I use this is a basis, but don't necessarily follow the exact outlines. Perhaps there are a few worlds where the Bureau wins. If I was to use the Bureau setup is it is, it would sort of feel like anything the heroes did in the Prequel Era: Obi-wan and Anakin can free as many worlds from the Seps as possible and Padme can block spending bills, but Palpatine will still end up winning in the end.
If I don't use a different setting than this, but with a similar format, I am going to run into that wall. As currently defined there will be a lack of a drama sense: I could have the Ponies ponify Light Yagami, seal off the Shinigami, etc etc, but I'd still have to show how that world manages to win. It would also allow me to take steps the original snippet would render somewhat hard sells, like having Discord show up if I so please.
Fan feedback of direct sequel or inspired sequel welcome.
6650605 Not sure what to tell you myself.
I guess you could try chapters that show how the rogue ponies attempt at conquering the crossovers worlds by conversion went exactly. Than maybe after going through all the crossovers. You could do a chapter that shows what happens next after the end of chapter one.
Oh also maybe do a special chapter about Lyra. It could be about her finding out what her family attempted to do and how she reacts to it. Maybe also have her meet some the humans her family in particular fought or caused pain too.
Um.
That's a rather large hornets nest that's been poked there.
Wrongly accused or not, there is basically nothing that can realistically stop all of the attackers. (Unless you can convince some of them to help stop the others...) The Pony counter to super-powered assault is basically 'shove a rainbow down their throats', but... with this many assailants, I think Equestria is going to burn for the sins of a few. And that's sad.
6650694 And would an Orbital Friendship Beam really work? I mean, maybe it would affect Lelouch or Eren Yaeger, but I cannot see it harming someone like, say, Optimus Prime or Money D. Luffy.
That's another reason I would prefer to expand by going back in time. I can avoid having to answer that question.
Well this different and quite distinct from the usual stories of the tcb genre. But what exactly are the filli terriam that you mentioned above? Are they your original invention or are they from a different show/video game/webcomic/other?
6656679 The Filli Terriam are a group I've seen mentioned in a few fics by various authors, that run sort of like a Pony KKK. As far as I can tell, they are used as fanon characters, or characters that while lacking official versions have generally established and accepted personalities that are used across multiple fanfics and are generally used and accepted for multiple people (For example Harry Potter's Daphne Greengrass the gray Slytherin, Charles Potter as Harry's grandfather, since given a canon as stated by author counterpart character Fleamont Potter, or Pokemon's Red as a serious and virtually unbeatable red-eyed badass, or here with most every background pony)
Of course, now that you ask this question, I now am paranoid and wondering if that is in fact the case. If it isn't, mind someone telling me? Seeing as the fics that did feature them did not have 'X is owned by writer Y' in their authors notes,I figured this was the case, but now I'm a little worried about it.
Eh, you know what.....I'm going to change it just in case.
Whoahohohoho that was intense...
HEHEHEHEHE! Instant fav! :D
But for real, this was pretty damn good, nice job on this man.
Hehehehe... fuck, Equestria is screwed.
I desperately hope this refers to Halo, even if it does mean the sacrifice of Marvel.
7079521 Why do I always find these little errors......
7079550 Probably the hopeless denial of your fans.
7079574 Hopeless denial
(Note I just edited Boasts to Boats)
7079579 Oh! You meant a typo! There's hope for Halo yet!
PSHAW!
Pardon me, but I hardly see how Britannia in the Code Geass-verse could've fallen so easily. Maybe the ponies might have overrun a district or two, but there's no way all of Britannia could fall.
7172404 In my head Schneizel was the first to get into contact with the invaders. He promptly got turned, returned to Pendragon....after that if you aren't a Vi or a Li Britannia your a grazer.
7172519 Schneizel may have been a villain, but I doubt he'd have been so easy to take down. He took on Lelouch in the series finale, remember.
7173742 And how would he know that the flask of potion must not hit him? He's smart, not all knowing.
7173789 I think he'd be suspicious of anything somebody was throwing at him, much less letting a bunch of weird alien creatures get close. Anybody that stupid deserves to get ponified.
7174022 A magical pastel horse isn't exactly scary. That might make him drop his guard, he hardly would expect Euphemia's childhood toys to kill him after all.
7174176 But after that initial attack, I think humans would put together "talking horse plus evil potion = bad" before the whole country was destroyed.
7175330 Didn't I say Schneizel had first contact with them, meaning he was the one going up to them and asking what they planned to do?
7175347 Alright, so he's taken out, how does taking out the ruler mean you now run the entire country?
7175548
Minion: My Lord, Schneizel has returned.
Charles: And....
Minion: He appears to have....um......been turned into a Unicorn.
Charles: What nonsense is this you speak!
Minion: My Lord, please listen to me, I would not say something like that if it was not true.
Charles: Yes.....yes you wouldn't tell me that if it wasn't true. Very well, bring whatever Schneizel is here. I demand an answer from the horses mouth.....
As minion leaves a pink haired girl pops out from behind him, giving him a 'really' look through her glowing red eyes.
Charles: ......That was not intentional.
....
Oh, and with the Britannian royal family virtually gone the country goes into chaos.
7175558 Except for the generals who manage to mount a defense, I would think, before a country that covers literally a third of the world was overrun. There would be stands, and with the Kightmare frames on their sides, it would not be a simple affair.
7177711 The absolute loyalty thing is tricky. There would be generals who, if magical horse Charles told them to turn into magical horses, would do it. Bismark probably would at least.
7177734 Well, Bismarck was a pussy. Other generals would see just another enemy to fight that has obviously corrupted the minds of the others, and btw, how would the ponies get them to believe that the nice cuddly pony even was Schneizel? By super-promising it was him? Don't underestimate Britannia's belief in it's own racial superiority.
Where is the Protoss and the Zerg?
These are goofy wish fulfilment fics, but I like 'em
No Warhammer 40k? No Zelda? Meh. Good job on this though. Liked it better than most of the CB stories I've read
I saw what looked to be Medabots and the Masked Medafighter, thanks to said Medafighter's hammy motions.
Hope Digimon also appears. I can imagine all the Digidestined and/or their partners being hell-bent on wiping the Equines out if they lose any of their number/partner.
I mean, if Takato from Tamers went Berserk at Leomon's Death, imagine what would happen if he witnessed his family and friends being 'Converted' into smiling freaks that don't care he's their son/friend?
He'd be Unstoppable in his Fury!
They would all be.
I can understand why the Autobots are hell-bent on destroying Equestria as well. The Barrier used by the Nobles would have wounded or Offlined many of their number, and the Potion-Bombings would have cost them their friends and allies. Wonder if some of the Humans found a way to become Transformers as well? Would Sonic the Hedgehog and his fellow rebels appear as well?
When I saw the Metal throwing Knives among the Devil Fruit Powers, I was hoping that Warframe would also be in there.
Wonder if Titanfall would also appear? Fallout would fit in here as well, maybe the Brotherhood of Steel and the Minutemen/Railroad being one of the many fighting forces appearing.
Still, if Borderlands also appears, I suspect that the New-U stations and the crazy weapons and Shields would give the Vault Hunters a huge advantage. Also, there's the Eridian artifacts as well with their mysterious powers... And Claptrap being himself.
...And this is why we cannot have nice things. Because the Nobility happens to consist of idiots.
Where is the resistance coming from?
...Every other Earth but ours.
This is awesome! Why the hell hasn't something like this appeared before?!
I was hoping for one of the universes to be warhammer, it would have been an attack on holy terra (I think), they would have taken it as an attack on the god-emperor. Or Dr Who, during that episode doomsday, billions upon millions of daleks coming through a portal. Jeez
7849017
Or the enclave remnants
I demand you make this a full story XD You can use any damned universe to do this,so much potential! I recommend you need to make this a full story, like 2 ,3,or even 5 chapters,that would be awesome
i demand that this includes the robots from Fallout: Tactics
