In another universe...
"Well, we're all in agreement, correct?" Felix asked all the other world leaders, to which they all replied with a simple nod.
"Well then, let's proceed with the reset operation," Alexi announced.
Felix then took out his phone, and after dialling a number, began to speak into it, "General Holden, commence the reset operation."
In one of the control rooms of Utopia, General Holden stared at a big red button with a plastic cap over it.
"Well, let's get this over with…" he said before opening the cap. "We didn't like this seed so decided to create a new world," Holden chuckled, before pushing the red button.
All around Utopia, the sound of hundreds of rockets were heard as the ground began shaking. On that day, fifty thousand nuclear warheads were launched to all corners of the globe, intending to destroy everything and let life evolve once more, hopefully with a more favourable outcome to humanity.
In an alternate universe…
December 5th, 2056, over a year after the doors to Utopia were closed…
Six months after the Utopian Civil War…
Atticus Constantine stood on a stage alongside Felix, Aladeen and Alexi, together with their families, as they faced a line of men with machine guns. Behind them, in the large hall a crowd of over ten thousand people stood watching and crying out insults to the group. Camera crews from various news studios from different countries stood alongside the crowd as they filmed what was happening.
The yelling and jeering eventually quietened down after a man in a suit walked up on stage and stood at the middle of it.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Loyal citizens of the One Empire! Those stood before you have been found guilty of treason against the saviour of humanity, His Excellency, the emperor!" The man announced and the crowd erupted, taunting and throwing insults at their former leaders. The man raised his hand and the crowd gradually quietened down once more.
"They have been found guilty of crimes including but not limited to: attempting to usurp power from the rightful emperor, spreading false information and attempting to start an uprising against the emperor, attempting a coup against the One Empire, attempting to reform their former nations and break off from the One Empire, leading the rebel faction known as 'Justice' against the One Empire, attempted regicide, terrorism, and many other treasonous crimes that would only be worthy of death!
"For all of these terrible crimes and more, His Excellency has deemed it suitable to sentence not only them, but their families as well to death, for the suffering they have caused every single one of us! In the words of our great emperor: 'none of you were allowed to bring your families along, but they simply used their influence to bypass that rule. While the rest of your loved ones lie dead, their families live here in luxury! This is only the tip of the iceberg of their corruption, and I shall act upon this immediately. This is only the first of many injustices committed against the people that I shall seek to correct. This, I promise you.'
"Today, true justice is being dealt! Fair justice! And all because of our glorious emperor and the sacrifice of his nation. We all know we live in thanks to the Lord and to our emperor and the sacrifice his nation made. It is because of them that all of us are still alive, after all, and they deserve our gratitude.
"Yet there are traitors like these," the man pointed to the ex world leaders, "Who took our emperor's great sacrifice and spat it right back into his face! And more importantly, they insult the sacrifice the citizens of the United Commonwealth made so that we all may live!
"This is a message to all the members of the terrorist organisation known as 'Justice' and anyone who seeks to betray the emperor's kindness and generosity," the man pointed towards the ex world leaders and their families, "There will be consequences for your actions! The remainder of humanity will not devolve into anarchy as your organisation sees fit! We will not tolerate such acts of treason and rebellion, and the mighty hammer of the empire will crush any who tries to oppose it!"
The crowd erupted into cheers once more, and the cheering was heard all throughout Utopia as even those watching the proceedings on television began cheering their support for the One Empire.
"Long live the empire! Long live the emperor! Praise Emperor Wilford!" The man shouted as he raised a hand straight up above his head and stretched out his pointer, middle and ring fingers, spreading them apart.. To anyone unfamiliar, it might simply seem like a number three, but to the citizens of Utopia, they knew it was meant to represent a 'W' and their support for their emperor.
The man then turned around and looked at the ex world leaders and their families.
"Ready!" The man yelled and audible clicks were heard as the gunmen loaded their weapons.
"Aim!" He ordered, and two dozen gunmen pointed their rifles at the leaders and their families.
"Wilford!" Atticus yelled as he looked at the man who was seated on a fancy looking chair and desk in front of the stage as he watched the execution. "Don't do this Wilford! Let our children go! Please!" He pleaded as he locked eyes with the emperor.
The emperor's gaze passed over the children in question and looked as if he was contemplating his answer. His eyes passed over Joseph, the eighteen year old son of Atticus. He then glanced over Gerald, Atticus' second born sixteen year old son and twin of Eris. And finally his gaze fell on her as he looked into her teary eyes as she begged and pleaded with him to let her live. For a moment, Atticus thought that the emperor was going to do as he requested. His hopes were immediately dashed as he heard the emperor's next words…
"Fire."

This leaves me with conflicted feelings and not very certain I'll like the new direction the story goes, but guess its a wait-and-see.
I was actually quite invested in the story. I wanted to see humanity reclaiming earth and their invincibility to magic was also a fascinating idea that i was excited to see explored.
I think I preferred it when I thought that the story was simply abandoned, not murdered and had something else built on top of its corpse.
I would have massively preferred if you had continued with this current story.
No to the Emperor! Glory to the Republic! Peace, Equality, Brotherhood!

No reboot?
11463717
One craftsman has already created his vision. True, there is a different plot and characters. And anthropomorphic ponies...
11463721
Which story are you talking about?
11463717
Yea but the problem with that is that with the magic invincibility, the ponies didn't pose enough of a threat to the humans to be considered... well... threatening.
It was just pretty much a one sided beat down where the other side obviously stood no chance.
Another problem I had is that the humans in the original story simply weren't aggressive enough and were way too careful and all around too 'good'. Therfore, I felt like even the humans themselves didn't present an intimidating enough presence either.
What's ironic is that in the reboot, the humans are gonna be a lot stronger and more aggressive, so despite the fact that magic will against them, the empire will be somewhat more of a threat compared to the current Utopia.

1st Jan
11463738
Next year as in, the day after tomorrow, or next year as in, one year from this day now?
11463719
Down with your grimey capitalist society! All rise in our socialist state! Huzzah!
11463746
Day after tomorrow
11463735
That's fair enough. I suppose that I will wait and see.

If your rebooting it why post a new chapter?
Interesting that this is a closer and introduction chapter.
I would recommend also pushing back the year that humanity sealed themselves away by a few hundred years. The original felt almost anachronistic with how quickly new technology was not only developed, but also adopted. For example, let's look at the American Civil War. We had a ton of weapons, mostly rifled muskets, for the standing army, but we also had a ton of smooth bore flintlock and percussion cap muskets in storage, and at the start of the war, those reserve stockpiles depleted fast. It wasn't quite as bad for the North as it was for the South, but people were still, in some cases, providing personal weapons for the war effort. The Union General in charge gets a lot of flak for being "against firearms development," but he rightly didn't trust a gun made in 1860 to arm an entire army in 1861. Instead, he focused on getting a rifled musket in the hands of every soldier, and looking back, he was right to do so.

Beyond Earth: Phoenix Rising.
I still don't know. It's one thing if the ponies and the rest of Equestria had any leg to stand on for morality, but considering they sat on humanity as slaves for a thousand years, they don't really. In fact, having a straight evil antagonist kinda proves them right, if anything. That they're right to sit on humanity's throats for so long.
Ah, so the human enclave in the reboot is going to be a dictatorship? I'm definitely interested in seeing what happens here.
The story hasn't even started yet, and I already want to write a side story centered around the adventures of a ragtag group of miscreants and weirdos who somehow snuck into the bunker using fake IDs and forged documents, got frozen with everyone else, then snuck out and befriended a group of pony abolitionists, and together devise a plan to end Equestria's human slavery and overthrow the Empire to restore the Federal Democratic Republic that existed before the apocalypse.

Interest. A new story probably won't be considered "popular" enough in fimfiction's system to drop in the featured box nor would it notify anyone who read this story of the sequel.

What he said
11463935
Ohh shir I didn't even know this existed...
Thanks for bringing it to my attention
I did not understand
Are you saying that you are going to wipe the slate and start over or that you are going to continue with the story and with this alternate universe?
11464325
Continue in an alternate universe...
Basically the ending for this story is the humans nuked everything
11464329
I will respect your decision since it is your story and you make the rules, but I admit that I am somewhat disappointed in the lack of a conclusion to the original story, especially after following it for almost a year.
Heard you had surgery a while back, glad to see you're still well and active. Sad to see the old story go, but hey, that's how most of these things work out. If abandoning this makes for a better story later on then who can complain? Hope you're feeling better.
Maybe I'm missing something, but where is the new story itself? Or I just didn't notice the link to it.
11465854
Release was delayed cuz of some new year plans with friends but I'll be releasing it today
11466054
Ok
Is Equestria just one continent? Like Pangaea except its ponies
1146678
I mean I never specified actually so I haven't decided yet
The rise of Empirers is so cliche when your family lives in the bunker after the collapse of the known world order. Technically this story is canceled and should be marked as such.
Galaxy sized L
Story=ass
Ponies+not eradicated =bad story
Humans+million years+no proper advancements for that amount of time +plot holes+stupid politicians =garbage story
Fight me you opinion is wrong
