This is really interesting so far, I like this darker approach to the ending of the show!

I will point out though that you misspelled "weird". It's supposed to have the 'e' before the 'i'.

It was hard hiding them at first, but once the truth came out most Equestrian's just seemed to forgot about them anyway. Cozy had been caught right after the Loss and was trapped in Canterlot's dungeons when the riots began. When it became public knowledge that she'd been the one to cost our world it's magic there was no way to stop the mobs from getting to her. There wasn't much left of the filly when the masses were done with her. There wasn't even enough left of her body worth burying.

Such an idiot.

That stupid brat had it coming. :ajbemused: :facehoof:

Does she really expect to be the new "empress of friendship" when she took the very important magic that everybody heavily relies on!!??

Since we couldn't expand outward due to a lack of land and the threat of murderous gangs, we were forced to build upwards. Little homes and small buildings were replaced with apartments and skyscrapers. It was super convenient and we were able to build even faster with so many new citizens joining us.

When Ponyville started getting really large bands of troublemakers started attacking us more often. Because Canterlot had fallen so quickly and the castle was immediately ransacked, most of the weapons the Royal Guard had stored away were already being used by the roving gangs. It's not easy to fight against real weapons when all you have is some farming tools and everyday items like brooms.

We'd been so preoccupied with creating that we'd completely slacked it on the destroying side of things. Twilight put an end to that deficiency real fast when a crazy changeling almost killed Celestia. It hadn't been able to transform, it was just a rogue changeling spouting crap about this never happening if Chrysalis had taken over.

I honestly thought all the changelings were dead. Didn't they use magic to feed? Guess nature had taken some mercy on them. Luckily, we hadn't run into Chrysalis again. That bug queen and her hive were a serious menace.

Anyway, back to the topic at hoof. What started out as crude weapons like iron swords and crappy shields quickly changed into... The Lights getting creative. With the old magic they used to utilize and study as a base for ideas, they started thinking up some seriously insane stuff.

Things like swords and crossbows were a normal part of war a long time ago, but our nerdy overlords (Twilight and Starlight, obviously) pushed things to the next level... or maybe more like twenty or thirty levels.

It started with weapons they'd called guns. Much like crossbows, they could be used to shoot at a creature from a safe distance. Unlike arrows fired from a bow, the things guns fired could rip a creature to pieces. As they developed newer models over time, they could be used over greater distances and deal even more damage.

Ponyville initially had a monopoly on the tech, but as time passed we began encountering raiders with less effective versions of the stuff the eggheads had invented. Someone out there was trying to emulate the inventions, but they were moving at a snail's pace while Twilight and Starlight were already on to the next thing.

They called them augmentations. Those got out of hoof super fast too. By performing some pretty invasive surgery, they claimed to be able to... improve any creature, be they unicorn, pegasus, earth pony, or anything else. They kept their ideas in the family at first, not making anything public knowledge.

I know that magic is gone, but I didn't expect for Ponykind to go technological advanced that freaking quickly!!??

I like the idea of ponies being so used to magic they felt there wasn't a need to delve into science all that much.


But it was always laying dormant, ready to be applied when magic couldn't do the job.

Still, a child getting lynched and torn apart by a mob is still pretty horrifying.:pinkiesick:
I seems Equestrians lost more than their magic.

11639643
Thanks for the comment and interest!

Also, I'm a doofus. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll run through and correct.

11639648

I know right. I still don't know what she was expecting, everyone to just love her for some reason?

11639651

I may have cheated a bit lol. I'll just say it's due to how ridiculously smart Twilight is.

11639796

Agreed. A sort of complacency that they had to move on from once they were forced to.

11639820

Yep. Little itty-bitty bits. There was a lot of anger there.

So, what even happened to the OTHER nations then? Did they bother to step in and offer aid, or did they seem to do the usual "Let Equestria go into chaos and watch the fireworks from afar"? More importantly, were the Student Six forced to leave or did they stay behind to help out?

11639981
Very good questions that will be answered in time. Dash isn't exactly the type to care about that kind of stuff l, I think, so she didn't really address it.

More good

11640365
Thank you! I really appreciate you reading and commenting!

11639972

I know right? I still don't know what she was expecting, everyone to just love her for some reason?

Either that or Cozy just assumed that having friends made her powerful by default. Which isn't totally wrong. Except that Twilight was already a powerful unicorn before she ever had friends. Having them just bumped her powers up considerably.

Cozy didn't, being a Pegasus and all that. Children are also stupid like that, to be fair. Not always thinking things through.

11640478
Lol yep I'll definitely agree Cozy was a stupid child... much like most kids.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Yikes, poor cozy.

11639820
Maybe they were always like this and losing magic was the straw that broke the camels back.

11641850
This could be true. Their true nature's finally came out.

11642019
Either that or just stress.

11642023
Lmao yeah, one or the other.

11639648
Dude, I sometimes worry about you.

11643886

Why do you think like that? Remember, Cozy's maybe a kid/brat. She made a very, very bad decision, and screwed pony society as they know it.

And she is still stupid to think that after what she did, she expect everypony to like her!?

11644031
Villains have done worse. Plus she’s a kid. By your logic sunset shimmer, starlight glimmer, and other villains deserve the same treatment.

11644031
This is true. The ramifications of what Cozy could have accomplished are insane. Unicorns become useless. Alicorn's become useless. The very fabric of Equestria changes.


11644046
Starlight could have destroyed everything but had the wherewithal to pull back. Sunset literally almost destroyed another reality because of bringing magic to it. If the Dazzlings had taken over the human world and turned it into a mess, yeah Sunset might have deserved pretty bad punishment.

But I do agree with you. Cozy is hard to judge cause she's just a stupid child. Children should generally be punished a bit differently.

11644135
Honestly, people just like treating sunset shimmer as a mary sue so much that I had to use her as an example.

More good

Luckily for us we had the Lights. None of what we'd accomplished this far would've been possible without those two brainiacs. We'd never be able to do enough to show them how truly grateful we were, so we did all we could, where we could, when we could.

I feel like the lights are gonna screw them over.

"... ah'm sayin' is we should be more careful with Dash's... well-being," as I came to, the sound of AJ's southern drawl was sweeter than a freezing cold glass of cider on a hot afternoon. We didn't get to enjoy those anymore. "I know she's essentially thuh law 'round here now, but-"

But she’s reckless.

11641847
imagine someone took Cozyglow's brain and then we can have G0llybot. After all, she accomplishes a lot for a kid, the brain must be smart and useful

11653962
Thanks for the comment!

11653984
*Looks around uncomfortably* What would make you think that? Also yep, Dash is the definition of reckless.

11654095
That bot would end up trying to take over the world.

11654231
The fact that they are praising it.

This is EPIC! Thank you for not regulating Starlight to a supporting character, and giving her the intelligence she had in seasons 5-8. Her and Twilight are an epic pairing, but I'd love to see more TwiDash as well, I think in such a situation they'd really be there for each other. Fluttershy and Pinkie are also a great duo when it comes to this stuff, and I like how there's characters who don't want to change. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if Fluttershy eventually cracked under the pressure of not being able to talk to animals anymore.

11674330
Thank you so much for the comment!

I love Starlight. It's hard for me not to make her prominent.

The Mane 6 are going to be interacting a lot here so some of your suggestions are planned.

Again thank you!

11674476
awesome! and ofc, i just have one question though, what happened to Spike?

11674896
Spike is around in chapter...4? I think. He's still alive and will be doing things.

More goos

This one was really engaging! Loved it

I swear the stakes get higher every entry! /gen. I'm really invested. Also love the RariJack! The TwiDash moments are so cute and they honestly make a lot of sense, because Rainbow Dash seems to feel like since Twilight gave her back flight, she owes her everything, and in some aspects, she does. They're also definitely the two with the most ability to get things done as a team besides Starlight. I'm scared but excited to see what she chooses, I love her as a character so I selfishly hope she chooses to stay around to protect her friends rather than to try and gain her flight back. Element of Loyalty not flight iykwim. Starlight's part was also really engaging as I said earlier, made me interested in her character arc as well. Overall, great job! Can't wait for what comes next.

11702872
I'm so happy the story is resonating with you! I think Dash will always do what's best for her friends, no matter how difficult the choice. Hopefully it works out for her here.

11715560
Chrys is a monster.

I feel so bad for MoonDancer :raritycry:

11716680
Same.

Chrysalis will get what's coming to her... hopefully.

Nice to see someone acknowledging why AppleDash wouldn't realistically work.

11737439
Yeah, I feel like that relationship would only go bad places.

Thanks for reading and for the comment!

11737594
You're welcome! It's a very interesting story!

11738625
Thank you very much! This story doesn't get too much attention so every comment means that much more to me!

It makes me very happy that it is finding at least a little niche for some people.

11738656
You're welcome!

I believe the best part of the story as a whole is that even though it's M-rated and supposed to be graphic, it's written in a way that's not overwhelming. Especially for the Moondancer non-con scene, it was a relief that nothing was written with too much explicit detail since the implications were pretty disturbing on their own.

11739469
I'm glad my intentions are coming through in the story. I don't want this to just be overly mature for the sake of being edgy so I do tone it down and try to rely more on... Implication is the word, I guess.
