So, you want to know a few things about me? My goal in life is to pursue a career in writing. I love brainstorming original ideas, and exploring different genres of writing. Welcome to my insanity.

T

Enter a world where Humankind and Ponykind peacefully exist. The year is 2018. Human technology mixed with pony ingenuity has rapidly advanced the quality of life throughout Equestria. Humans downgraded into a simple lifestyle of old fashioned cloth tunics, and a more humbled way of living. We were greeted with open arms. Celestia invited our kind into her world. She ruled over all life in Ponyville. Harmony and love coexisted between the two species. Until that unfateful day...

A comet struck our paradise known as Equestria, unleashing a virus that destroyed two thirds of the Earth's population. They turned out to be the lucky ones.....

Those who did survive, became mutations and heard a voice of a maligant god inside their heads. They called themselves, the Order. Their ultimate goal was to merge the two species into one flawless race of beings. The Order sought out after any unmutated human or pony that they deemed 'unpure', and lored them away to concentration camps. All female species, including both children and foals, were rounded up and silently exterminated. Those who were alive took shelter in caves and underground hideouts. Technology from the Order was far more advanced than the whole world could ever comprehend. Far more advanced than the latest technological marvel from humanity, and far more powerful than any spell that any unicorn could ever muster up.

Forces are now being gathered up secretly, and planned retaliation against this new religous cult. Rumors of a new resistance organization shot across the world. Soldiers gathered up and trained troops, weapons and new technology were now being stolen, and a new movement was born.

Born of lifelong Strife.

This is a choose your own action sci-fi adventure, you are known as a mercenary, simply identified as the protagonist of this fic. You choose the relationships of the characters inside this story. Who will you fall in love with? One of the Mane 6, or the mysterious Blackmare who guides you throught your journey? Or will you go alone?

Fight for the Front and Freedom! Move out!

Enjoy this read and have fun. Note : This is NOT a final product. Please be aware of any spelling and gramatical errors you might encounter as you read along. I will polish this up once I get the bulk of the content out there.

Chapters (20)
Comments ( 65 )

Alright, here we go again. Whoever's downvoting this, do you mind explaining why you dont like it? Like I said previously, I am willing to take any suggestions/constructive critisms to improve my stories.

Very interesting so far, keep up the good work.

Thanks, Planning to add 2 chapters everytime I post here. Working on chapters 3 and 4 now.

Dude, somebody remembers Strife?! :pinkiegasp: My day is made! :pinkiehappy:
I'm definitely gonna read this. Expect feedback.

short chapter, Why SHORT?! :flutterrage:

Lol oops, sorry about that.

Yay, my first death!! I tried to be a hero.

Haha, well theres more to come so sit tight.

dead before they hit the ground: means I did NOT open that door to let the cloud in

Just want to tell everyone out there, I'll be working on 5 and 6 as soon as I can. Real life issues are conflicting right now, but I'll continue to work on this as soon as I can. Just be patient.

Wow, 650 views :pinkiehappy:

I just want to tell everyone that I'll be working on 7 and 8 next week, expect more character interactions, a special appearance from Lyra :D, and more choose your own adventure action that will determine if you live or die.

Hurricane Sandy hit pretty damn hard over here. Also like to include I had a family emergency, but rest assure I'll be working on 9 and 10.

Alright, after taking care of the house and draining the water in our basement, 9 and 10 will resume next week. Sit tight people, and best wishes to everyone that was affected by the storm.

Well, shit. I lost about 1,500 word of content on the Power crystal chapter by accident :twilightangry2:

Seeing if any Admins can recover the lost content.

I'll try to finnish up that chapter by tomorrow along with pictures.

Update: Chapter 10 is comming out better than expected, so sit tight. Still have to make following pictures. Going to try and finish it up by this weekend.

Update: Just sit tight everyone, had a busy weekend. I'm thinking I should wait until S3E1 airs for more ideas for the Power Crystal chapter. The Irony, I'll try to get it out there at least by tuesday.

Hm, interesting concept. Will definitely give this a read.

Thanks, wanted to do something different for once. Also, still progress on the power crystal chapter. S3E1 and E2 didn't really contribute anything new to the Power Crystal chapter, since we all know that Rarity loves her jewels :D

Progress on the Programmer's Demise will continue next week, had alot of crap to do this week. I might switch chapter names for the Programmer's Demise based on content on Chapter 11 to something else.

Hey everyone, want to give an update on the fanfic. I recently just obtained a part time temporary job working at UPS. Progress might slow for abit, but dont worry, the contract will only last until December 24th. I will try to add chapters every tuesday and thursday as usual, but it will depend how much work that I may be required to do daily. I'm taking my time on this fanfic so that I can create a quality story, instead of some rushed piece of literature.

Thanks for all the support, it keeps me motivated. Also, keep in mind this is NOT a finnished product. Once I have the base of my content in all of the chapters I plan on fixing up any spelling and grammatical errors that I might find while I do my own read through. Your looking at a unfinnished beta version here, please keep that in mind.

Who knows, I might run into Derpy Hooves while delivering packages :derpytongue2:

Hey, want to give a quick update to everyone out there. I will try my best to add chapters every Saturday and Sunday for now on until January swings around. It's going to be virtually impossible for me to take the time out every tuesday and thursday like usual to create pictures, add new content, and brainstorm ideas for each and every chapter. Figure it's only going to be four weeks until the contract expires, and like I said I'll do my best to add new content every saturday and sunday for now on. This job, believe it or not, has expanded my realm of creativity and has motivated me more to work on this. Sit tight people, there is still alot to uncover on the horizon before this fanfic is complete.

Another update for anyone who actually reads these. My contract was shortened to Dec 24th despite the update above the top two comments. I did edit the post to make sure there isn't any confusion for anyone out there. Also, I'm brainstorming more 'after' ideas once I'm done the Strife fanfic, which may be early January now.

The Programmer's Demise chapter will be filled with exciting content. Be prepared to join the lines of battle with your comrades on the first assault of the Programmer's lair. This chapter will be packed with details including full descriptions of troops of the Order, and more heart racing descisions that will decide if you live or if you die. Be prepared to take down the Programmer and sit tight folks.

Hey, quick update for everyone following this. I'm halfway done with writing the content for The Programmer's Demise, so for next week I will be adding the final content for the chapter along with the pictures I'll have to create. We're almost at the climax of the story folks, which will determine one of the three possible endings for the fic. Also, this is my last week for the part time temp job, so progress will resume at a normal pace after the 21st. Stay tuned for the Castlevania fic right after this! :yay:

Wow, the Programmer's demise chapter is much longer than I have ever anticipated. It's close to completion, but I need to add some minor touches. Progress will resume finally at a normal pace now :yay: Expect updates every tuesday and thursday for now on. Also, keep in mind that this story within itself is still a rough draft. After I feel that it's completed, I will proof read and fix any errors that I might spot along the way with the help of a friend.

EDIT: This christmas is going to be extremely busy for me. I have to visit family, and I recently just bought a new computer with windows 7. Windows 7 is a format which I am not familiar with yet. On top of that, I have to do the file transfers from one computer to another which may take time. I'm not sure if I can update this chapter for the busy week ahead, but the latest update should be at least by sunday.

Hey everyone. My dad was recently admitted to the hospital on friday. Its going to be a hectic run around again, and with new years day comming up on tuesday the Programmer's demise will have to be pushed back. I will strive to finally publish the Programmer's demise this thursday at the latest; Perhaps even earlier if time permits. Sorry folks :fluttershysad:

The Programmer's Demise chapter is finally complete :yay: I skimmed the chapter, and eliminated a few errors I caught while I was uploading the pictures to go along with the chapter. Yeah, this is still a WIP even after I feel that all of the content is released out there. However, we're reaching a major turning point in the story folks.

*Spoilers*

The next chapter will be the climax of the story, and after that only a few more chapters to release until I feel that this fic is complete for content. Be prepared to take a little trip to the Oracle for guidance. Which ever path you choose from there will determine the final outcome of the story. Alright, that's enough spoiling for now.

Quick update. I deleted my last post and currently working on the latest chapter for the Strife fic. I think this chapter will be alot shorter than the Programmer's demise. I've also rewritten the first chapter for the Castlevania fic. Now, I'm going on a short vacation up until Saturday or Sunday so I'll have my laptop with me to continue progress if time permits. Thanks for all the views and followers this story has recieved so far.

Quick Edit: I will continue progress this weekend. I have many things to do over the course this week, and on top of that I think I have may contacted the flu. I will strive to release content on friday.

Progress is going good so far. I will have to help one of my friends move tommorow on Saturday, but I think I will finnish up the chapter with pictures at least by Sunday. Also, with the new MLP episode with relation to Discord, I might get some good ideas for my Castlevania fanfic after this is done. Arm yourself for an intense upcomming battle with the Bishop.

Edit: Got held up this sunday with stuff to do around the house. Will continue progress on tuesday.

The next chapter will be called "Battle with the Bishop", and you will be exactly doing that. If I recall correctly, you will see a side of the Oracle (aka Zecora) that you would have never expected to see. Who will you decide to trust, Rainbow Dash or Zecora? Find out in the next chapter. Progress will resume tuesday.

Quick Update 1/29: I have to help my friend move yet again this week. She needs everything out by this wednesday to be moved into her new place. I will do my best get more content out there by thursday, if not sunday by the latest. Thanks for all the views folks.

We are finally reaching the climax of the story, and this time I mean it. I initially forgot how long Strife was as a whole video game. The next chapter will be called "Ultimatum" for a good reason. Trust Zercora with her timeless riddles, or trust Dash in her new power hungry state of mind? That choice will be up for you to decide. This chapter will influence one of the possible endings that you may recieve in the conclusion of this fic.

Quick edit: I've also revised and edited chapter 1 and the top half of chapter 2. It's far more readable to a better degree of understanding. When I first published this idea, I wasn't such a good writer. I firmly believe that after all of the content is released and revised, this fic will be far more easier and pleasurable to read. Sorry for any misunderstandings for the first two chapters. Also, I'll go back to revising chapter two after the conclusions of the fic are finally complete.

Alright folks, here's the turning point of the fic. The next chapter will be divided according to which path you have
chosen. Go toe to toe with the Loremaster, or uncover more dark secrets after fighting the Spectre. The next chapter will be titled "Spectre of the Sigil", which is a play on words for all your Trekkies out there who understand the reference. :pinkiehappy:
Progress will resume as usual next week. Can't wait to see the season finale and the dramatic twilicorn shitstorm to follow. :facehoof:

Quick update: Spectre of the Sigil is near completion. I will attemp to get it out there by at least sunday. After I publish this chapter, the final showdown will unravel between you and the One God. Stay frosty for this upcomming battle.

Like I've stated previously, your decisions will foretell the three possible endings of the fanfic. The best conclusion (with 6 sub endings consisting of whatever relationship you've developed with the mane 6), the normal conclusion, and the worst possible conclusion that you may recieve. Thanks for all of the watches and followings folks. I'm eager to continue on with the Castlevania fic.

Spoiler for Castlevania fic: Twilight will lose her wings and her authority as a princess. Anyone remember in SOTN, how Alucard was OP as hell until Death took his gear away? Expect something similar along those lines.

Hey, sorry about any updates since last tuesday. I had alot of running around to do this week. Progress will resume today, and I'll try to get something out there by sunday at the latest. I think you all are going to enjoy the conclusions for the mane 6( well, maybe it's mane 5 now since it looks like Twilight doesn't belong in the group anymore ;) )

The Martyr of Salvation chapter is almost complete! The only thing I have to do is create and upload the pictures to their corresponding places within the chapter. After that will be the conclusion! The endings with the Mane 6 are already laid out. I plan to release the final chapter before my birthday(which falls this wednesday). If this week becomes another hectic run around, expect it no later than sunday. I will release an author's note chapter afterwards with a Q and A. It will be listed as complete, but please be aware that I will have to edit out any grammatical mistakes in chronological order.

The revisions, oh the agony. :twilightoops:

Hey folks, sorry for the delayed update. Was sick for the past few days. I'll get the final chapter out there by tuesday at the latest. The editing process should no longer take two days, so expect the complete fic by this thursday! Thanks for all of the support and likes.

Alright, the content of My Little Strife: The Sigil Is Magic is finally complete! Just have to edit and revise everything from chapter two. The fic is marked as complete, but be aware of any mistakes or grammatical errors you may stumble opon. I will post it here when I feel it's a final product. That may take a few weeks depending on my time.

3/12
My head feels like it's going to explode from revisions, but chapters 1 and 2 are fully revised. I plan to knock out at least 2 chapters a day from here on out. If you read the entire story from beginning to end, I'd advise that you re-read it over again for a few clarifications and changes I've made. Sorry folks :facehoof:

Chapter 3 is fully revised, and now I'm working on Chapter 4. Everything is revised up until the Rarity scene. I will continue off from there tomorrow.

3/14
3 and 4 are finally polished up and revised. I plan to knock out 5 and 6 by the end of the weekend. Looking back now, I can't believe how my writing has dramatically changed. Thank god for the better :pinkiehappy:

3/17
5 is complete, and 6 is now complete. I predict by the end of this month, that this fic shall be finally revised and polished. Chapter 7 will resume tomorrow.

3/19
7 is now revised, and I will resume with 8 by tomorrow. The site going offline delayed the update by a day back.

3/20
8 is finally revised. 9 and 10 should be revised by the end of the week. Progress will resume with chapter 11 on Monday.

3/25
12 is complete. I have a few classes to take this week, so revisions might be delayed. Rest assure that I will try to knock out at least five chapters by at least Friday. My goal is to get this full fic revised by the end of the weekend, no later than Sunday. At the beginning of April, I will proceed to work on the Castlevania story(which will not be as nearly as long).

3/28
I'm in the process of working on chapter 13. Everything is revised up to the last Applejack dialogue. Revision realistically might lead up into the first week of April, but I will stick to the original plans with the full revisions by Sunday.

4/1
Chapter 13 is finally revised. This isn't a April fool's joke, so rest assure of that. The fic will be fully revised by the end of this week. I will continue with the Castlevania fic starting on Monday.

4/3
Chapters 14 and 15 are revised. Tomorrow I will be going on a short vacation, but I will still revise chapters 16 and 17 over the week with my laptop. This entire fanfic should be revised by Sunday. Monday will be the continuation of the Castlevania fic.

4/5
Quick update: My vacation turned out to be hectic. I didn't get the chance to update 16 and 17 like originally planned, but I will try my best to stay on course. That means chapters 16, 17, 18, 19 will still have the deadline by Sunday at the latest. If things still don't follow through, then expect everything to be fully revised by this Wednesday. Trust me folks, I hate it when progress reverts backwards instead of moving forwards. One positive aspect from that vacation was the fact that I had the chance to clear my head.

4/6
My plans are to get 16 and 17 revised by today. Chapter 16 is updated up until the Spectre conflict with Rainbow Dash. 17 should be done by the end of tonight.

4/7
I fell behind with chapter 16 yesterday, but now it is revised. Chapter 17 will be revised today, and by next week 18 and 19 should be complete by Tuesday. That will give me the time to continue with the Castlevania fic by Wednesday.

4/8
17 is finally complete. I'm dedicating my entire day tomorrow, to complete 18 and 19 entirely.

Chapter 18 is revised all the way up to the arrival of the Entity.

4/10
18 is now revised. Chapter 19 is completed already, since I've revised everything before the chapter's original release. If you find any grammatical mistakes or spelling errors, PM me and I'll fix them along the way of writing my Castlevania Fic. So that basically concludes revisions! I will continue with chapter 1 of my Castlevania fic starting either Friday or Monday of next week.

So
If the order believes no females are necessary
Does that mean they are all gay?
...
What a bright future they seem to have :facehoof:

That's an interesting question actually. I think it's the whole 'male superiority complex' type of ordeal. If you've followed the worst ending in the original Strife storyline, the Entity abandons it's entire "super race" of beings because there was nothing left for it to feed on. Perhaps the women and children were slaughtered first, simply because they express more notable fear then men do. Maybe the Entity is a creature who feeds off of negative emotions. Who knows.

oh wow :rainbowderp: we have a pretty big Nazi type situation goin down

I just realized you are required to be male to read this story :rainbowlaugh:

Or you can just use your imagination and pretend your a protagonist chick :pinkiehappy: That's if you believe in lesbian ships, then go right ahead.

Yeah, I wanted the Order to execute 'Nazi' like authoritarian rule over the citizens of Ponyville. It was to further express their brutality. Also to foretell that history can in fact repeat itself even in the future. I'm glad you caught onto that.

Left or Right?
HARDEST AND MOST LIFE-CHANGING DECISION OF MY LIFE

Goodness, expansive story. A pity a few folks took to downvoting it without saying why. :fluttershyouch:

Interesting, this seems fun!
