Starswirl is dead. The elements are hunted. Equestria is a wasteland- and the Science Faction rules over all.
Rainbow and Octavia set out to eliminate the remaining individuals of the science faction, but they're too late- way too late. The individuals have gotten together and stole the TARDIS from Doctor Whooves, traveling back in time and terminating the most important Magic Faction pony of all time- Starswirl the Bearded. More than two hundred spells are wiped from existence, altering the entire timeline. Rainbow and Octavia plunge into a new reality, with everypony still having their memories of the previous reality. Now everypony has two sets of memories of two different realities, all except the 'Splinters'- ponies that lost their memories of one reality. Sadly, Rainbow is one of them- and now, she has no idea where she is in this brand new reality. She isn't the only splinter though- glitches in reality are slowly revealed as Val meets Blithy, Neon meets Melony. Equestria's surface is now a wasteland, roaming with zombies and even more dangerous creatures, all because of the barricade that never went down. The science faction now dominates the world, using the magic faction ponies as slaves to mine underground minerals, while they live watching from the barricade high above the atmosphere. Soon Rainbow discovers she hasn't lost those memories- they had been split from her, and have taken a separate form. The Elements of Harmony are constantly being hunted by the science faction, possible candidates killed immediately.
The science empire has risen to a new level, with control over absolutely everything.
What will you do now, Rainbow Dash?

Other than that, this was rather snazzy. I may read the others.
Nice chapter, have some moustache.
1538701 Well its kinda hard to understand whats going on if you didnt read the first couple stories.
1539413
I did get that impression, yes. I'll read them once I'm done grammar Nazi'ing something.
1539419 Sounds positively delightful! Do enjoy yourself while you ..... grammar Nazi some stories
*Sighs* I hate to be a parrot, but Magnum's a dumb-arse.
This looks promising. Tracking.
Noooooo, DERPY!
Good chapter! Keep it coming
I don't know if everyone agrees with me but it seems as if your trying to save everypony in the story? I for one like it when the story has a sad twist that draws me in. It makes me feel for the characters on a deeper level.

It's one of those stories where everything is just fine and then suddenly- BAM. Everypony dies. I'm just saving everypony (for now) to prepare for the mass killing at the end
And thanks for commenting! Glad to hear from a reader!
I just couldn't stand seeing this empty so I added another comment.
neat, finally caught up with my reading.
I know this sounds stupid, but how do I post a story? When I click new story, there's no section for the story itself. Is there something I'm missing, or am I just dumb?
Just create the story with the options they give you first, then once the story is created you can add chapters afterwards.
Yes update!
I liked the chapter but I'm still curious how come the doctor would no longer be a time lord? And how is derpy a mutant but isn't brain dead?

This is due to change, but...
-The new reality had a completely different timeline, and while it may share many similarities glitches still occur because of the immense amount of change that occurred in the universe, because the new reality is almost the exact opposite of the old one. Glitches like Rainbow and Silver are called 'Splinters', while there are other glitches as well like the Doctor not being a Timelord, and Melony coming back as a restored self with Neon.
-And Derpy is just Derpy. Doesn't make sense, and never will
Works for me.
Ok, you've been saying you want feedback, well here we go:
Nuclear devices don't use multiple chemicals, there are no incendiary nukes, they are nukes. Either plutonium or uranium atoms are split in a fission device (Fat-Man/Little-Boy) or hydrogen is fused via tritium and deuterium in a fusion device. By nature it is an incendiary device, just really damn mean about it.
A 9mm cannon would be a pistol. 9mm is basically the smallest effective round, weakest while still having a bit of stopping power. This is the round in the Baretta M9 and the MP5 submachine gun. A more effective round for a "cannon" would be a 30mm round like the one used in the GAU-8 Avenger on the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II. The 30mm gatling gun is a monster, especially since it uses depleted uranium rounds. The key is the 9mm caliber refers to a specific type of round, the 9x19mm parabellum. The rifle version of the 9mm is actually the .375 caliber round. The anti-materiel rifle that Magnum uses is a .50 caliber 12.7x99mm round which is bigger than the 9mm/.375 round.
I believe there were some other technical issues but I can't remember them at the moment. Great story otherwise. And I love how fast you keep belting em out.

I'll just give your comment a thumbs up of approval while I remain my lazy self and not change anything, which might soon lead to my last resort of saying 'Screw Logic'
I thought you were going to be lazy and not explain the nuke or the 9mm thing. I chuckled when I saw your reasoning behind the 9mm bullets.
You.Magnificent.Bastard.
That had to be the most EPIC thing any author has EVER pulled straight out of their GODDAMN ASSES!
I applaud you sir. You have won favorites and a follow. Fucking. Epic. Win.
Fimfiction needs a mother fucking slow clap macro.

*sigh there it is again. Although, it does have the 'sad' tag
Also, glad to see you're still reading this
Right in the feels.
Thought the alternate ending was humorous. Also you need to start wrapping up the story I'm not saying it has to be in the next two chapters, but it feels like nothing is happening. Like they go from one place to the next while not really gaining anything.

Once they get to Haven, and that's when everything truly kicks off- because rainbow delivers her speech, the whole of magic faction(and some other characters who will remain secret) will come out and it'll just be absolute chaos.
!!SPOILER ALERT!!
*************************************************************************************
You might be seeing an Ursa Major strolling onto the battlefield in later chapters.
Argh! I'm trying to catch up while still getting the content! I'm so going to miss the conclusion aren't I?
2342862
Might wanna watch out for some tiny details I'm throwing in there right now... They might turn out to be much more important in the conclusion;)
2343268 Doesn't matter i'm trying to finish the second one.
Why did I put this off so long
Im surprised, none of the BH stories have more than 6 comments
Its so weird even the worst stories have some kind of comments, positive or otherwise.
Anyway keep up the good work these stories are cool.
So little so late. Better sooner than never. I shall persevere.
2366411
I was doing some stuff and didn't log in for the past few days, but when I did today: Jesus Christ that's a lot of comments- lol. But I love reading them
And that is what I call the ultimate april fools prank.
...
well that happened.
I was going to ask how magic had survived for so long... but at about 50 left I guess it makes some sense. Except after X00 years how do you still go about having the same offspring?
Bio bombs... Ew.
Ha nice troll
Anyway keep up the good work
You have very silent fans.
2405587
Or the more likely explanation, there aren't any in the first place
2408902 Well I'm here aren't I?
What am I? Chopped liver?
2408935
Well, you know
2409724 no, I don't know. Do I just not count?
2410322
Aren't you just like a reader
2411508 a reader can't be a fan? Can a fan not be a reader? Would a reader go through all those chapters if they didn't like it?... I think I might have forgotten to favorite.
2411517
Good point
I have finally caught up with this awesome story. Thanks for writing this hyper-cool(I am out of superlatives
) story. Just one complaint - I am missing that "bounty huter" feeling (and theme) of the first book.
And I am out of things that I wanted to say - just keep up the good work, you have gained one faithful reader.
2506064
Thanks! And yeah... It did kind of lose that feeling a while ago-.- But don't worry, I have a general idea of what the next story arc is going to be like- and that should bring everything right back. Although... That's gonna be quite a long way away...
2507259
.. I am really looking forward for next chapters ;)
Long way away does not matter, I am really interested in this story. Just keep up the good work ... I am really hooked to this story ... so ... just ... like .. go on and it will work out
Your faithful reader, Leo.
New chapter is as awesome as always, thanks for this übercool (is that even word? well, in central europe it is and it means "(much)more than cool") story.
And for the chapter itself - I have wished for a bit more gadgety-talk, but otherwise good chapter.
Your faithful reader, Leo.
