Scorched Earth


T

Discord has once again escaped. While trying to escape the mane 6, he realizes that his chaos magic won't be enough to defeat The Elements of Harmony. So he opens a gate to a new universe. Mane 6 follows him trough the portal, unaware of his plan.

Now, stuck in an universe that is so like, yet unlike their own, can Mane 6 find Discord and stop him before he unites the forces of chaos under his rule? And how do they deal with very different versions of their own?

Reading my other stories is recommended, but not necessary. However, I suggest reading at least The History Of The Human War to understand what "The War" refers to.

After The War - Luna Aeternal is recommended, but not necessary. It details the events of The Lunar Crisis.

My Little War Orphan is not necessary.

Big thanks for Biker_Dash and xoid for beta reading and general help. You're awesome.

Your welcome Scorched ^_^
Lookin forward to further stories:pinkiehappy:

Yay, new story! :yay: However, it seems a bit rushed. :twilightsheepish:

Post a story -> Go to sleep

Come back at the morning -> 32 new noticifications:pinkiegasp:

oh discord you are going to get shoot non stop in this story :pinkiehappy:

Pretty nice. :twilightsmile: Still got a bit of spelling and grammer issues.

HOORAY
GO HUMANS

"They... dropped an asteroid... on Cloudsdale?"
"And Manehattan, Los Pegasus and Canterlot,"

yes we did, we're just THAT good:trollestia:

1309426

Hey, it was either asteroids or nukes/Anti-Matter weapons. At least asteroids didn't produce fallout:twilightblush:

The writing...

IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!

The pacing is horrible. The ideas are thrown around at random. It's lackluster in execution. The grammar I thought I had already gotten used to in the last three stories and I even started to like, is worse and absolutely horrible!

This is SUCH a let down after the Lunar Crisis! It's just- I- that is- *starts bawling*

I feel so cheated and dirty...:fluttercry:

1317705

Do provide more details, if you want. I might go back and rewrite these two in later date. I got more chapters coming up.

Also, as for grammar... Huh, funny. I thought I had improved it. Shows how much I know...

I don't get it what exactly was it that Warverse Pinkie did that was so horrible?

Some kind of cupcakes grade noodle incident? Some war crime? I'm intrigued.

1318038

The second verse, same as the first:moustache:

Or, in immortal words of Casey Hudson: LOTS OF SPECULATIONS FROM EVERYONE

Although I was warned that I would get this question a lot :rainbowlaugh:

1318060

This kind of speculation I like.

Proceeeeeed...

1318009 That might be a reason why the human veterans are traumatised from her.

1318111 Yeah I know that was part of the reason I asked the other part was Pinkie's section in the Nightmares chapter

“I fear... that my live is over... I can feel death dawning closer...”
epic last words bro

God damn it Scorched Earth why did you put in that part with pinkie I'm tearing my brain apart here trying to figure out what pinkie could have done oh god the ideas and images going through my mind right now will probably give me nightmare so thanks for that.

Oh and keep up the good work.

Chapter has been edited, as per suggestions given by the editor. Grammar should be improved now.

1317705

Hopefully this up to expected quality :pinkiehappy:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

pinkie pie did something like this did-int she

:pinkiecrazy:

Have an extra large chapter, as a "sorry" for the wait:pinkiehappy:

I really like the feel of this universe that you have created, if I could compare it to anything I would say it gives a similar feel to Turians and Humans in Mass Effect. That's why I love it, there is no bland 'black and white' arguments which is a huge relief from the same dribble that most HiE have
So props to you man, well done

1336347

Huh,funny, now that you mention, there is a lot common with Human/Turian thing. Whole Human War could be just another version of First Contact War.

I didn't event think of Mass Effect when I planned this universe. Heck, original draft of the universe didn't even have whole space-age humans in them.

1336494

Oh, but first you need good argument to convince someone! Diamond Dogs (as far as Discord knows) are much more mercenary type than changelings. However, now he has a plan and rather convincing argument (I got a pack of dragons. Your rejection is invalid)

1336577
Oh god I can almost imagine it
Ponies: We have the elements!
Discord: I HAVE DRAGONS
Changelings: We have numbers!
Discord: I HAVE DRAGONS
Humanity(fuck yeah): We have nukes!
Discord: I HAVE DRA-wait wut

1337261

And then dragons went extinct (apart from Spike)

THE END

1337358
Perfect!
Now to invent Tesla guns!

I'm REALLY glad you decided not to offer equipment to the ponies
you dont know how much of a relief you just gave me there:pinkiehappy:

anyways, yeah, humans will forever have the atomic bomb
and enough radiation from nuclear missiles to destroy any living thing on the planet
not to mention planetary bombardment
as always, great story

Just got this back from my beta/proof reader. So here you go, slightly smaller chapter with little events.

On personal note: I HATE this chapter. It doesn't feel a chapter, it feels like a filler. Still, it had few plot points I need to introduce to keep the plot coherent (Trixies mission, for example). However, if I ever figure out how, I WILL rewrite this one. Consider this a prototype of this chapter, not the real one.

Actually, from my perspective, it sets the foundation for a few things which I suspect will become intrigal parts of this story. Trixie's mission, (as already stated) Twilight's deteriating condition and her need for therapy, the disguises that the original Mane Six will need...

It is coming along as it should I think. Your doin really good.

1339052

Yeah, I needed to set up these plot points. However, they way I pulled it... it just doesn't feel right. Like ordering a coke but getting a diet coke instead. Same thing basically, but... it's not the same.

1339095
I see what your saying. Maybe a way can be made to rewrite Ch. 5 so that it will be more to your liking.

Sorry that I have not been able to do any beta work for you. Something has come up, and as of now, all I have is my mobile phone to browse with.:twilightoops:

Sorry about this. I feel I have let you down :ajsleepy:

1360371

No problem, We just replace the unedited version with edited version when you get them done. Just wanted to post a new chapter to show that I am not dead with this one.

I don't know how long it will be before I am able to do so again:fluttershysad:

1360402>>1360371 It truly is amazing, this community. How well the ideas flow freely, how much those ideas flow, and how well connected we all are with eachother in that flow.

In the 7 years I've spent on Fanfiction.net, I never saw a fanbase so inspired, close-knit and helpful to their fellow fans than the brony community.

We hope you get back up to speed soon Biker, and look forward to more brilliance from you Scorched.:twilightsmile:

1360483

Like I said, take your time. When you are able to work again, just grab the version I put here (I've done some editing myself) and do your edits. Tough you still got email working right? I might bounce few ideas on you to see if they work as well as they do in my mind.

1360506

Oh, I got the next chapter ready already :pinkiehappy: I'm just going to take few days to go through the grammar and give people time to read the latest chapter and comment on it.

Comments are always welcome:twilightsmile:

I found it funny that they were taking a sport to seriously.:rainbowlaugh:

lol discord vs the power of atom i truly wonder who would win this battle

You you used my idea! :rainbowkiss:
I think.....and maybe my sentence

1362744>>1363266 Two words.

Texas Football.:applejackconfused:

1385424

Finnish-Swedish Ice Hockey Match

There will be blood.

1385451 Now time to wait for someone to bring up a nation and Soccer... excuse me, futbol.:pinkiecrazy:

i offer you 2 solutions to your issue
1)use stronger guns(AK47 bullets are huge, Heavy (SCAR-H, Mk 17 Mod 0) and of course the shotgun, semi automatic or not)
2)tear gas works magic against large mobs, be thankful we made gas masks rendering us immune to our own weapons, thus
allowing us to use the gas during combat

good luck
