> My little Revolution: Britain and Her Colonies > by batran > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The retreat of Brandywine and the Everfree Forest > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: This is an early version of the chapter and would change overtime, instead of disliking this, you could show me what mistakes to fix! Btw, this is the first chapter so it won't be as good as my later chapters so I suggest you try reading the whole story before judging it. But also, this chapter was made during my early writing skills, so I suggest reading on as my experiences with story writing got better. "No taxation without representation!" "Without money there will be no order!" "We bow to no royalty!" "Rule Britannia!" "We the people!" "Leaving us would be anarchy!" "We make our own decisions now!" "Rebel scum! You terrorize us all, you deserve to be put down!... Like dogs!" "I, Ben Franklin, believe a new nation will rise above the ashes, I believe in America..." "We shall restore order to the colonies." "General Washington, the enemy is flanking us!" "Ha! we got the patriots on the run!" Battle of Brandywine Meeting house Hill Afternoon There were sounds of explosions and blood curling screams everywhere, there was also the sound of men yelling at one another as well. Verbal fights are very common as hatred and annoyance fills the air on both sides. Sweat poured down the cheeks of another Continental Soldier as he emptied his musket on a British musician meters away. He hastily reached down to his sides reaching for some more ammo. Feeling around his waist, he felt nothing there. He looked down and realized that he ran out of bullets to fire. "Adamson!" yelled a young French voice behind him. Adamson turned his head towards the voice, revealing one of his comrades calling out to him. "Adamson! Ze general had called for our retreat, we cannot die out 'ere!" "Don't worry Marseille," he called back in a bold Russian-American like accent even though he is from Manhattan, "You and the others stay here with me a little more, I think I see a couple more of them Lobster-Backs that needs slaughtering!" said Adamson as he gestured to several British Redcoats closing in on him. Adamson turned back around and saw a butt of a musket, held by an British Infantryman, racing towards him. His body froze up for a little bit, unable to think and compute what is going to happen. Eventually, the musket seems to meet up with his face slamming him backwards into the mud. Marseille's eyes widened at this, "Adamson!" screamed Marseille. His anger boiled like fire inside him as he rushed towards his fallen comrade. His friends seems to notice Marseille's and eleven of them risked it all just to hastily rushed to protect their bold Manhattanite. With a cry Marseille drove his bayonet into a Redcoat. The Redcoat didn't seem to scream as he coughed up blood from the spear in his stomach. Marseille pulled his musket's bayonet out of the Redcoat and the Redcoat's body fell to the ground as blood poured out of his body, draining out his life every second. Another soldier behind Marseille, known as Mitts followed his friend's example by ramming his own into another Redcoat. Adamson, quickly recovered, woke up just in time to see a bayonet, from the same British Infantryman, coming towards his chest. He grabbed the bayonet and pushed it out of the way and it hit the mud inches away from his face. He kicked his legs to the British Infantryman, making him let go of his musket that was stuck in the mud. Adamson got up to his feet and punched the British Infantryman in the kisser knocking him out. "Allen!" screamed the last British soldier towards his friend, He looked to Adamson with his face filled with fear. The last British soldier tried to run but was punched to stay in place by Adamson's fellow comrade. He (The British soldier) whimpered in pain as he tried to crawl away, he looked up into the sky and saw lightning flashing from all sides. He turn towards the Thirteen Continental soldiers and was shocked to see all of them closing in on him. One of them raised their bayonet towards him. The Soldier closed his eyes shut waiting for the inevitable. Suddenly, a bright flash hit the area near him, temporary blinding the Continental soldiers. The British Soldier opened his eyes and saw his chance and started to crawl away, but another bright light hits all of them and suddenly... Darkness... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ???????? Forest 0100 HRS "Huh?" whispered The British soldier as he jolted awake with a sudden pain in his head. he quickly looked around to find the other Soldiers. He saw nothing but Continental soldiers trying to recover what happened in the blast and trees surrounding them. After a few uneasy seconds the British soldier called out to his friend "Allen!?". He waited a few seconds then tried again but louder this time, "ALLEN!?". The Thirteen Contintental Soldiers took notice of this, The New Yorker grabbed the Lone British soldier around the neck. "Let me go!" cried out the Lone Infantryman "What is your name?" Said the New Yorker in a light dutch accent. "Boniface Kent, Now let me go!" cried out the British Soldier. "Well we are going to kill you at first, but we are going to be nice-" The British soldier paled a little at the word "-and keep you as prisoner, right guys?" "Aw come on!" complained Mitts, "Ahem!?" Replied the New Yorker, "Ugh, fine!" sighed Mitts. Boniface was uncertain at first, but realized that he isn't coming out of this dark scary hideous forest alive if he doesn't learn to trust his enemy, he reluctantly nodded his head a couple times. The Squad (Squad is made up of 8 to 14 Soldiers) looked around the forest then heard a startling blood curling scream in the far distance. "U-um, maybe we should camp here tonight, eh?", Said Philips in a timid voice. Everyone nodded and unpacked their bags and got to work. The Southern Americans mostly did all the work, as most of them were farmers and know how to survive in the wilderness James Jackson from Maryland also had been in the Frontier. They gathered sticks and stones, and found a couple logs. They set up camp and sat down to rest. "So," Started Brandon Harkness from Pennsylvania he paused for a moment before asking, "My Regiment is 7th of Pennsylvania, what is yours?" "Actually, I am also from the Pennsylvania 7th Regiment" responded Gunther Von Frederickson There was a dozen "Me too" and "same here". Boniface Kent however was from a different army so he haven't said anything about being in the 7th. "I am from the 1st Battalion," said Boniface pointing his finger in the air, "and I am under orders of Captain Cox!" Everyone chuckled at the last few words except for Boniface who was confused about this, possibly he was innocent. "Vell, what part of the company are you then? His b*tch?" joked John Melinda Von Frederickson, twin "brother" of Gunther Von Frederickson. Boniface went pale before replying back, "Oi! I'm not his female dog you Hessian!" "I'm not a Hessian, I'm a Brunswicker! For your information Hessians come from Hessen!" Yelled the southern German-American before burying his face in his hands. "Just great Boniface." said Gunther in a sarcastic tone There was a pause for a moment. "So where did you guys come from?" asked The Redcoat "I come from Massachusetts" replied Robert Adamson in a bold tone, "I-I am from New Hampshire" replied Adam Philips said timidly, "Virginia, I'm from Virginia" replied George Garnett, "Rhode Island" replied Henri Le Marseille proudly, and the list goes on (Check in the Authors notes for more info). "Wait, if Gunther was from North Carolina and John Melinda was from South Carolina, and you said you were twins...?" Questioned Boniface, unable to finish the sentence. "We were separated when we were young, but we managed to meet up again while signing up in the 7th." Responded John Melinda. "Oh." "Guys, I have just noticed that we have similar names.. well kinda but, why don't we refer ourselves as in states/nation? it's like codenames? I like codenames..." Everyone thought this was a stupid idea at first but in a world where they are turned into ponies, so they cannot give out their names just yet. "Well we better get some sleep, tomorrow we need to move out of this forest." 12 hours later "Come back here, Lunch!" yelled Connecticut while chasing a beaver. The beaver was all over the place, Connecticut leaped on top of the beaver. He would've got the drop on it but the vermin moved out of the way just in time and Connecticut fell face first on the ground. "DAMMIT!" Screamed Connecticut. He got up and wiped his bloody nose. He then looked to his left and saw there was a bright light in the distance. He realized that it must be an exit and ran towards it like a happy child and leaped gracefully out of the clearing and landing on his face yet again. "Not again..." Winced Connecticut, he got up and dust himself off and put his hands on his hips. His eyes soon rest upon some type of large town, It's style indicates that it was built about a century ago. His expression went giddy as he found a town where there was plenty of food and drink! He turned around and raced back to camp. After a dozen minutes, Connecticut found the camp and raced towards it flailing his arms about yelling, "I found a town in the clearing! I found a town in the clearing!" Everyone cheered and quickly packed their bags and followed Connecticut to the clearing. But all of them started to slow down a little after a few questions raced through their minds: Who are they? Who is their allegiance towards? Are they friendly? > Edges of Ponyville > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connecticut and the others were running through the forest. He looked to the group (while still running); "Hey guys, it's over there!" he called out while pointing to the clearing, he turned back around and accidently ran face first into a tree. "Damn!" After recovering they set off once again. They spotted the same clearing Connecticut was talking about on their way towards it. It looks just what he had described it. As The 'Colonial Squad' almost made it to the clearing a sharp pain wrapped around them all. Their hair starts to fall off but at the same time grow at different places. Bones were cracking and bending at unusual angles, all of the moaned in pain but kept going, determined to get out of the creepy forest. Lucky they haven't ran into any wild creatures yet. Their backs suddenly had the urge to bend over and it was getting worse FAST! They were a few feet at the clearing but they stopped as curiosity made them forget their goal. Their fingers were shrinking and were replace by... HOOVES, hooves similar to horses as they remember. Their arms also shrank a little and match the shape of their hooves. One by one, a thought had slithered into every mind of the group of fourteen of them. They were turning into Horses(or ponies). Another thought crawled into the mind of New Jersey; This forest must've turning us into ponies!. He had repeated his thoughts to the others. Some were surprised and some shivered at this statement. As their bodies starts to grow colored tiny hairs (coats), they dashed out of the forest screaming in terror. After their transformation has finished, they looked like the natives of this land, but they have not known that yet. They began to search frantically for help, but no use as they were in a wide open field. They shrugged their thoughts about the town, they thought that the town would probably think that their monsters and burn them at the stake. Suddenly New York fell onto all four of his knees, unable to get up without assistance. "Argh, help!" New York cried as he struggled to get up. But forgetting how to get up properly, knowing he is now a pony with an alien like body structure . "Ah got you mate!" said Virginia trying to pull up his fallen friend by the arms but a sudden arch in his back made him fall onto all fours. He looked around and saw, one by one, each of every one of them are stumbling onto all four hooves. Shrugging it off, Virginia pulled New York back up on bipeds. New York wobbled alarmingly forward, on instinct he put both of his arms forward trying to prevent the fall. His landing is softer and sweeter than he except it to be. He sighed in relief and starts to walk forward. Walking on all fours seemed easy as you got more balance on you, but if you were a bi-ped before then you would walk slightly different than other ponies, something similar to gaurds ponies (it's what they call marching here in Equestria). After all the bone-cracking pain they had been through, The group's bodies was sore from the process. It's like getting run over by a truck and waking up in a hospital an hour later. The former Colonists and the former Redcoat blacked out from sudden exhaustion. South Carolina had struggled to open his eyes again. They opened slightly by force and she saw a butter-yellow, pink, and somewhat cyan colored blur before giving up and let the darkness consume him. --------------John Melinda de Marseille/ Georgia----------------- South Carolina open his eyes, scanning around the room. He was in bed, but the only one in bed as he heard a couple of groans from the floor and the wall. He looked over the bed and saw that her comrades, A Blue Unicorn with a long tied cranberry mane (Massachusetts) and a Light Red Earth Pony with short black mane (Georgia) shifting their bodies on the floor before going back to sleep, not noticing where they were. Normally, males naturally tend to sleep longer than females, why haven't South Carolina wanted to sleep a bit more? Yeah he was tired, but not that tired compared to others. He had assumed it was them since he recognized the colors on them when they were morphing. A door opened that made her jump and shifted her gaze to the spot of interest. A butter-Pegasus enter the room carrying a small try with her mouth. Her eyes widened a little as she saw the only state in the 13 colonies with 'south' in his name. She tried to speak, but the words had been blocked by the tray in her teeth and it came out muffled. "I am sorry, vhat?" Apologized South Carolina before asking, not trying to be rude. He thought the pony tried to speak so he stared at the Pegasus in disbelief. The Pegasus layed the try on the table with her mouth and pulling head back up to the "pony" in the bed before saying: "U-um.. I brought you some food.... if you don't mind..." started the Pegasus Mare in a soft timid voice. The only awoken state in the room's eyes shrank a little but turned back to normal, thinking that she already can speak... why can't the Pegasus? But her friends were all earth ponies, so it still would kind of surprising but her eyes looked down on the food before looking back up to the pegasus. "Um... may I start by asking what your name is?" Asked South Carolina, he assumed that the pegasus was a girl by looking at her facial and body features, but what should he know? he haven't known about their kind, yet. "I-I'm Fluttershy" "Well miss flutterhigh-" "Fluttershy" corrected Fluttershy "....Fluttershy... Where are we?" Asked S.C. "Your... in Equestria" "Equestria?" "yes..." Fluttershy shrank back a little. Then there came a knock downstairs, Fluttershy excused herself and timidly walked downstairs and opened the door. Leaving the indigo blue earth pony on the bed in the room. South Carolina then looked to the food on the tray and copied Fluttershy by taking it with his mouth and setting it on his lap. He stared at the food below him. A delicious looking hay sandwich with a small salad on the side. His stomach growled so he picked up the food and gobbled it down piece by piece. ---------------Adam Philips/New Hampshire---------------- New Hampshire nervously and slowly opened his eyes, they become wide as he looked all over the room in astonishment, ignoring his friends' bodies shifting occasionally on the floor. The architecture and placement of furniture simply amazed him. A nice place to be in.... he thought. He looked down at him self and his expression became shocked as he looked all over his body. His coat was white and when he looked up, his hair was blue. Then there came a knock on the door and there was a sound of footsteps upstairs. When the door opened and out came the most beautiful creature he had lay eyes upon. The soft long pink hair, the color of the coat that could soothe a person's anger, and those beautiful innocent orbs.... The beautiful creature hurried downstairs before she spot N.H. on the couch looking at her. She made a loud eep! that could make a crack on his heart due to the d'awwwness of it all. It doesn't matter if she isn't the same thing as he was, she was still undeniably adorable. She backed a way slowly to the corner like she was almost afraid of him. He felt sad of this and raised a hoof in protest. She immediately stopped and looked into his eyes. He looked into hers. There was an awkward silence... The knock on the door came again. The Pegasus jumped and began walking towards the door not keeping an eye off (New) Hampshire. The timid Pegasus opened the door revealing a white unicorn with majestic curled mane. "Um..Rarity? What are you doing here? The Pegasus asked the marshmallow unicorn. "Fluttershy, darling, I wanted to check up on you after I saw that you dragged a few unconscious ponies into your house?" replied Rarity "Oh... um, I found them unconscious outside and I wanted to help them..." The cute pegasus hooves lift up and she shrank a little (not literally) "Oh Fluttershy, that is very thoughtful and heroic of you, but I think we should actually take them to the hospital first." "I was about to, I was seeing if... they were fine..." said the Pegasus, judging from her expression, she felt guilty. Personally to New Hampshire, he was glad he was not in the hospital, he loved seeing the beautiful pegasus' home. But then again, the hospital would be an ideal place if he valued his health a bit more. His thoughts were interrupted when Rarity asked him a question, he assumed that because she was looking at him. "Are you one of the ponies Fluttershy found? What is your name darling?" Fluttershy... what a gorgeous name.... "Well um, my name is... Adam Philips.... but you could call me New Hampshire..." "What an unusual name, New Hampshire. Are you from Trottingham?" "Huh?" "Are you from Trottingham? Your clothes looked similar to theirs." repeated Rarity. He thought about this for a moment. He looked down at his clothes since he got turned into one of them most of his friend's clothes would not fit him. But he was skinny so his clothes almost fit his size, and they also miraculously looked clean (besides his lower body but the blanket cover it). he still have his lucky (colonist) hat which looked good on him when he was a pony. It is best to say that he is from Trottingham, it would not be smart to alert the ponies to become hostile.... I think.... "U-um," started New Hampshire, "yes... I am from.... Trottingham..." > The Civil War are coming! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: This is an early version of the chapter and would change overtime, instead of disliking this, you could show me what mistakes to fix! and also this is a somewhat boring chapter to get the plot in gear "Huh?" gasped Britain waking up in a dense forest. Britain looked down and saw that he was human again. He sighed in relief that it was only a dream. Wait... where is he? Britain looked around in the forest. He saw a clearing and decided to get up and walk to it. Seconds seemed to grow into minutes as he started limping towards the clearing. His leg was bleeding and his head is cold and empty. As he was limping, he heard whispers passing through his head, each one felt warmer as they pulse through his mind. ...I-I am afraid what they would do to me! panicked a whisper who bears Britain's voice ...*a loud buzz* AHHH! AHHH! it hurts! please stop! *sniff* please stop....*another loud buzz* AAAGHHH!! cried another whisper who bears New Hampshire's voice Alright gentlecolts! Equestria had made us pay taxes to them, they are deluded for doing this. They arrested who that can't pay taxes and are also broke! They had put too many acts on us! and with the support from America, our rebellions shall triumph and reform Equestria into this "Democracy" they are talking about! Prance, Stalliongrad, Amareica, Pony ( Turkey in Humanity), and others have had enough! For Democracy! Shouted an Unknown voice, but his speech indicates that he is a Equestrian Revolutionary Rebel and there are other rebellions backing them. Britain suddenly stopped near the clearing that was inches away from his body. He almost decided to go through until he saw something covered in mud. He bent down and cleared the mud. What he saw could change what he would think for the rest of his stay in this world. He saw nothing but a Red and Yellow striped flag. This flag was familiar to him, except the flag he knows had some more characteristics to it. He looked down and thought for a moment. He noticed some trail blood next to the flag. His eyes followed it until he have to completely turn around. He immediately froze in place of what he saw. He saw shadows, yellow ones, each body had a colonial hat. They were dragging a body away. He looked up and down then realized that he found the flag carrier of the flag. He shouted his last words before the shadows charged at him; "The Spa-" -------------------------Boniface Kent/ Britain------------------------- "-niards are coming!" Screaming the words as he woke up. When he looked around, all eyes were looking at him. A Pegasus, a darkish Unicorn, and a white Unicorn with their mouths agape. Silence hung around the room for a little bit before the White Unicorn coughed and resumed their conversation again. However, the Pegasus seemed to be staring at him with curiosity. The Pegasus slowly walked over to him and asked him a question. "um... sorry but... I was just letting you know that a few of your friends already woke up...if that's okay with you" Britain nodded but noticed that she still has more to say. He urged her to continue. "and um... one of them, you know the one in the bed? She is doing fine, just going to let you know that..." "What!?" shouted Britain sounding a little loud. It made the Fluttershy squeak softly. "You know that she's a mare... right?" The Pegasus said hesitantly and slowly backs away "The Rebels are using woman In their army!? how barbaric!" shouted Britain a little louder than last time. It woke some of the other States up being startled from the noise. And also a table shook in the background followed by a pained groan. "S-someone said something about Woman in the army!?" said Pennsylvania "Y-yeah ugh... I think so." replied Virginia rubbing his head after accidently getting up the wrong way (a table he lied next to). "Who is a woman?" Asked Delaware being a curious as always, "Um, you know, The mare who has a garnet (Rarity taught her about jewels) colored body and a black mane" replied Fluttershy "You mean South Carolina?" Asked Virginia. No one had noticed North Carolina slowly backing up into the kitchen. Fluttershy nodded. The other states besides Britain (5 out of 10 of them were awake and currently in the room) had thought about this for a moment. Before calling out to North Carolina, on que there was a crash in the kitchen. The 5 awoken states, and Britain, including Fluttershy and Rarity, who had stopped her conversation a minute before, rushed into the place of the crash. They found a white bunny stomping on North Carolina's head and there were a few plates shattered around. "Angel!" shouted Fluttershy which startled the bunny who was Angel, "How rude your being to the guests, no carrots for dinner!" After Fluttershy asserted herself, Angel gave a huff and hopped off N.C. and went outside to play with the other animals. The others went to check North Carolina and found that he is fine. They sighed in relief. After North Carolina recovered from the incident the others asked if he had known his Brother/Sister was a Mare/girl. He was scared at first but admitted that he had known. "Why?" Asked Rhode Island "Because...when I look at her face, I saw my zister's determination to fight for their country." Answered NC, he looked like he was about to break into tears. The others decided to go upstairs to South Carolina and asked why she wants to fight with her country. Fluttershy stayed down in the kitchen and comforts the North state. ------------------------------------------------------------------- South Carolina was finally done from eating the food. But she was still hungry, she wiped the bowl with her hoof and sucked on it. Suddenly the door bursts opens startling the 3 states in the room and woke the sleeping states up. "Hey South Carolina!" Yelled Pennsylvania, "Are you a girl? If so then why did you join the 7th?" "How did you know!?" Shrieked South Carolina. ---------------------------Somewhere in the Everfree------------------ A bright light flickered and opened pouring 13 Humans into the Forest. They were unconscious due to the bright flash. Their style was slightly similar to what the Thirteen Colonies and Britain wore. Except that 6 of them wore blue Uniforms while the rest wore grey uniforms. They eventually woke up. "Ugh, Mah head!" Said a Grey in a Texan Accent "Ow, yeah I ag- wait, what are you doing here!?" Yelled A Blue that sounded Virginian "Me? What about you!?" Argued the guy from Texas. The other states that weren't one of the original thirteen states joined in on the fight. They argued and screamed at each other and occasionally threw punches. But then there was a distant roar and a ruffle of bushes behind them. They paused and looked hesitantly at one another. They had agreed to team up just to get out of the forest. The ones in Grey Uniforms sang their tunes while the Blue Uniforms sang their own trying to out sing each other. They will have their own story. Someday. > Lets go colonize Equestria! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning: This is an early version of the chapter and would change overtime, instead of disliking this, you could show me what mistakes to fix! There were 16 ponies in the room. North and South Carolina, Fluttershy, and Rarity on one side while the rest are on the other side of the room staring and skirmishing from South Carolina. Tension in the room was building and it might pop later on that would cause a fight, but people kept their temper down. The White and Blue pony (I changed the colors in the second chapter) known as New Hampshire was nervously eyeing around the room. "umm... if you don't mind I want to take a walk" he said and got up and walked to the door. "Let-me-come-with-you!" Fluttershy managed to blurt out before scurrying to New Hampshire. New Hampshire crookedly grinned before opening the door for Fluttershy to get out before shutting the door behind him ------------------------Adam Philips/New Hampshire------------------- New Hampshire and Fluttershy were walking side-by-side along side a lake near the house. It seems that Fluttershy was curious about New Hampshire. As they were both constantly looking at each other from time to time. A suddenly crack near the forest made them both jump. They looked around the clearing of the forest and shrugged it off before eyeing it again. They decided it would be best to walk back to the house. ---------------------------???????------------------------------ Shadows were watching at the two ponies while they were walking towards the house. They immediately galloped back to their base far away, outside the radius of sounds of muskets firing in the distance. Their base was used to be a whole area of trees but was cleared out and replaced by Hundreds of small log cabins, including farms.Their brethren, dressed in yellow, were doing military drills and training by shooting the trees painted as targets. They had no trouble with wild animals because they had firepower which frightened them away. Cannons took out the Hydras while rifles/Muskets take out anything smaller. Their settlement grew to 3,000 Colonists and 500 Soldiers, almost half on larger beings called horses. They started out as a small community with a population of 2,800, that was 2 months ago. They had discovered gold, except that they have no one to trade it with so they are stuck with it, stashed in a vault guarded by half of the soldiers the settlement could support. -----------------------------------2 months ago--------------------------- A dozen ships were sailing towards America. Many people with different backgrounds and different ideas to be there were excited. Ships were much better than what they had a century ago, they had been taught to survive harsh conditions so not much died on the ships unless a contagious virus hits. Suddenly a large white bolt went unnoticed and lashed down on the ships brightening up the area around it. It reached all over the small fleet and they disappeared without a trace. They had reappeared in the water, and spotted land in the distance. They cheered as they landed and the long frightful voyage was over. 3712 Colonists, including soldiers, came down from the ships unknowingly cut off from their home world. They grabbed their equipment and started cutting down the trees on the shore before hearing a roar in the distance. Several monsters that looked like a lion with bat wings and a scorpion tail walked out of the clearing and growled at the colonists. The Colonists backed away in fright and their soldiers grabbed their muskets and stand in line looking at the creature. The creatures finally had enough of this trespassing and started to tear down the colonists. As they got to their 4th victim, the soldiers started firing on the creatures and the creatures perished with bodies full of lead/metal. --------------------fast forward 3 weeks from 2 months ago-------------------- After the horror of turning into ponies, the new settlement flourished as farms started to grow and more demand of population forced them to build more log cabins and farms. They had named their place Del Misterio . It means 'Of Mystery' in Spanish. Their population has lowered dramatically by well over 900 people a few weeks ago before learning to adapt and survive in this strange new place. They had named their new independent unknown colony was named 'Viceroyalty León- Aragon' and it had stuck ever since. Despite living under a false name of viceroyalty, the colony had tried to contact their king of their arrival, but each ship they have sent had never returned. As they send their last ship, called 'Un Explorader' ('An Explorer' in Spanish) away, they had start to doubt sending them. That ship was their last hope of making contact with their continent. ----------------------Present--------------------------- The Shadows or Scouts came back with the news of the natives of the land. They think that the natives are responsible for turning them into ponies. This angered the colonists, but the leader of the settlement decided to try to make contact with them before invading. -----------------------Adam Philips/ New Hampshire---------------------- New Hampshire had just finished his story about his life (leaving out the revolution and names besides Trottingham). He had talked about his life on the farm, and when he moved to a city so he could have gone to school. He also talked about the time he joined the army made of up civilians, or Royal Militia in Equestria as Fluttershy said they were. Fluttershy was a good listener and usually quiet when listening to New Hampshire. She decided to share her story about her life as well. She talked about that she was teased in school, the day she got her cutie mark, the day she moved to Ponyville and talked about Pinkie's welcome party. New Hampshire was amazed and stunned on how incredible about he life was, besides the bullying. "...-Angel was a good bunny. I found him when he was lost and had a broken leg. I took care of him and patched his leg up, and now he is all better after a month or so. He remained loyal to me ever since." Futtershy finished. This was also her first time that she had a long conversation. She felt close to New Hampshire after discussing her feelings as he discussed his. "look," New Hampshire pointed a hoof at the cottage, "We are here!" "Thank you for listening to me, I very appreciated it." thanked Fluttershy, rubbing a hoof on her leg. "Oh um, your welco-" New Hampshire stopped his reply and blushed when The beautiful soothing-yellow Pegasus pressed her lips against his cheek. She pulled away and blushed before saying: "S-Sorry.." ,and she trotted into her cottage, leaving New Hampshire near the small bridge, stunned and trying to compute what just happened. He would've stayed there all afternoon before he heard thunderstorms and a felt a few drops of rain landing on his head. He touched the place where Fluttershy kissed and smiled... wide. He trotted happily back into the cottage when dinner was almost ready. > Discussing our Past > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy and Rarity helped prepared dinner for the colonists and the redcoat. Each plate have daisy Sandwiches with Apples on the side with some water for the drink. The Ex-Humans didn't like the daisy sandwiches at first but they gave it a go and found it tasty (due to them being ponies). They had wished to eat in the kitchen in private and they sat down and began eating. "Woah, this Daisy sandwich is amazing!" stated Maryland, "I am so hungry I could eat all of your food if you want." "We all are hungry, all we ate during the revolution was about as much as a few beans." replied Virginia "Speaking of the revolution," chimed in Georgia, "what did you guys do?" "Vell I helped by boycotting british goods..." Piped up South Carolina, "and I am also part of the daughters of liberty..." "I... participated on what is now known as the Boston Massacre," New Hampshire added in. ------Adam Philips (Aged 12)----- March 5th 1770 (2 days after Adam Philip's birthday) I was walking around the streets at night with my friend Alexander when it happened. A small drunken crowd surrounded British soldiers and started calling them names. They were teasing them calling out things like: "FIRE!" We watched as the crowd quickly got bigger as people left their business, homes, and other things to participate. Alexander joined in, he dragged me into this. After a few minutes, the soldiers have had enough and fired onto the crowd. My friend, Alexander, was shot in arm. The crowd dispersed while I tried to drag my fallen friend away. I called out for help trying to look for a doctor. It was freezing cold and the snow made it worse for my friend. Eventually, a doctor came and help fix my friend inside his house. I was frightened by the fact my friend almost died, but he thankfully recovered. We ran home and never discussed this with anyone. My family decided to move a week after because Boston is not a good place to be in at the moment. So we moved to New Hampshire to farm, I later grew and moved to Portsmouth. ---------------------------------------------------------- "I was invited to go into the 7th Pennsylvanian Regiment by my friend Alexander, who I still keep in touch with-" New Hampshire's eyes went wide and became sorrowful and looked down. "...I just remembered, Alexander was killed in that last battle we were in." He puts his hands over his eyes to cover his tears, "What will I do now? My friend is gone...." The group felt saddened by this story. But quickly recovered when New York piped up. "Alright, I participated in the Boston Tea Party, who else participated?" Asked New York. Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Massachusetts' hand shot up which made Britain frown a little. ---------------Augustus De Keizer (aged 24)---------------- We, the members of the Sons of Liberty, managed to meet up near the ships who carried tea early in the morning. All of us were dressed like American Indians. Personally, I think that we look stupid and it was uncomfortable. But it serves a purpose and it helped saved our lives from being caught. "There it is." one of my mates pointed out towards the ship. We stormed on the ship and looked for any tea to dump overboard. We have done this for about 5 to 15 minutes, I can't tell, before British soldiers had arrived. My mates fled, some jumped into the water while others were running down the ramp. I tried to run but unfortunately I was grabbed and was forced to the wall. When they were tying my hands, I childishly stepped on a Redcoat's foot and jumped overboard and disappeared underwater. --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I volunteered for the British army," started Britain, "I was placed under orders of General Cox," The Colonists chuckled again, Britain ignored it, "Unfortunately, the boat coming over was horrible than the other ships" Britain began explaining, "The air was vile, the drinking water was not clean, there was a sickness going around onboard, luckily I came out without a touch of sickness in me." -------------- Boniface Kent (age 23) -------------- Given the circumstances, I know that I am not going to survive this war alone. My friend, Corporal Parker Allen, and I prepared for the upcoming battle that could give us an advantage in the war. "Those darn rebels needs to be taught a lesson!" said My friend, Allen while fiddling with his musket, "They have raided my home and called me evil because I'm a loyalist, the nerve!" "Well we could get them in the upcoming battle." I chuckled. Then My leader ordered us to go across the river to ambush the rebels. As we crossed the river, the darn rebels sent their Horsemen and some infantry after us. They fired at us and it hit a couple of our men, their bodies were washed down the river. We fired back at them and they fell like flies. We managed to storm through the small town and we managed to route a couple of armies before their leader called for a retreat. Me, Allen, and a couple others joined as we start to make chase. Everything was great until you rebels came along and killed my allies. I was surrounded, scared by the fact that my life is actually over. Until a bright energy of some kind hits us. ------------------------------------------------------------ "Speaking of Muskets," New York barged in, "I wonder where is my Davy." He started to look around in panic and the others looked at him confused, he noticed this before explaining, "Davy, you know, I was a gunsmith and I decided to make my own. I had copied my old musket and made a new one for myself. I used the parts from my old musket and made a double barrel musket. I had figure out how the lenses works and added it to my gun and painted a red dot in the middle. I was thinking of showing it to congress for mass production. But duty calls and we headed towards Brandywine." New York finished. Last time he remembered Davy he fell unconscious wearing the weapon safely across his shoulders. The Soldiers looked at the clock and it was waaay past their dinner time. They quickly finished up eating and put their plates away in the sink. Fluttershy had told them that they could walk downtown tomorrow and they got ready for bed. Some of them went to sleep but others decided to stay awake and went exploring around the cottage looking for their guns. With little success, they decided to ask Fluttershy, but found that she was sleeping and Rarity was nowhere to be found. They decided to ask her tomorrow and joined their fellow comrades sleeping in the living room and upstairs. > Finally in Ponyville > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ignores season 3 finale Massachusetts woke up the next morning feeling tired. He yawned and stretched his back. He took off the blanket and got up from the floor with pain in his back. He looked to the clock and saw it was 11 AM. He had never slept this long because he was a scout and he was ordered to stay vigilant. He trotted into the kitchen to find some breakfast. When he got the to fridge, he...wait... what is a fridge? He studied this white object curiously. Obviously there's a door there that want's to be opened. He shrugged and slowly touched the handle, the handle was a little cold but he began pulling it. There was a slight resistance before it gave away. Congratulations, you opened an object unknown to you that can be easily opened, but I can't blame you. Fridges are out of your time... Massachusetts looked curiously around the fridge trying to find something to eat on the cold shelves. Apples, Pastries, A glass of water, Some kind of colored liquid that I don't know about... I guess I will take the apple. He grabbed the apple from out of the fridge. It was cold but it looks juicy. Massachusetts began eating the apple, biting down on the juicy but cool flavor of it. He began chewing as the Blue and Cranberry stallion walked out of the kitchen and found out that no one is there... well except for a Blue stallion with a short white mane (Connecticut) sleeping on the couch while Rhode Island AKA the White stallion with Columbia blue and Dark blue mane was sleeping on the table drooling. Massachusetts sighed and walked into the kitchen and came out with a dinner plate. He looked around him to see anyone who was watching before throwing the dinner plate in the air and it came down and hit the floor with a loud Crash! ---------------------------------------------------------- New Hampshire, Fluttershy, Rarity, and North and South Carolina was walking around the Ponyville market. New Hampshire, North Carolina, and South Carolina were interested in the commerce. They were confused about the money system at first but quickly went wide eyed as they found out that this currency of 'bits' was actually made of GOLD! Yeah you heard me, Pure gold! Instead of spending the bits on the market Fluttershy/Rarity gave them, they instead kept and hogged it and put it in their saddlebags Rarity made for them last night. Suddenly a Pink blur popped out of nowhere, startling the Colonists nearby. "Helloareyounewhere? Ofcourseyouare,mynameispinkiepienicetomeetyou! what'syournamecouldyoutellmeyourname, huh-huh-huhcanya?" said the Pink pony jumping up and down excitedly. New Hampshire grinned at her bright behavior, South Carolina giggled while North Carolina just stared at her like she was a lunatic. There was an awkward silence before it was broken. "Erm," started North Carolina and Pinkie beamed at him for finally talking, which creeped him out. "I am... North Carolina?" he said unsurely. "NorthCarolina? isthatacountryorstate? CanIguessyour'friends'names?" blabbered Pinkie with so many questions before slowing down and turns to the mare colonist, "Hmm... Oh I got it! I think your name is.... SOUTH CAROLINA!!" The Colonists flinched back a little and South Carolina was stunned. "H-how did you know?" stuttered South Carolina while questioning Pinkie's physics. "Well duh! It's easy, since you resemble North Carolina, and you are a girl... South is kind of like a girls name if you think about it, so there you go!" answered Pinkie standing on her hind legs and raising both of her hooves in the air. Before gasping, "I almost forgot! I think I should go and throw you a welcome party!" The group looked at each other. ------------------------------------------------------------------- New Jersey, Georgia, New York, and Maryland walks into a bar,-wait hold on....yeah it's not a joke- the place holds liquors, wine, and many more things. The colonists was astonished at the uniqueness of this building. Obviously, they have never seen a liquor bar. They were going to walk away but they felt thirsty and decided to stay here for a while. When they sat down, a mare light purple mare came along and had a grape cutie mark. Speaking of cutie marks, The ex-humans never got cutie marks. Luckily, no one noticed because it was hidden underneath their clothing. "May I help you?" asked the mare wearing a friendly smile. "Uhhh yeah I like some of those stuff called ale, if you have them, please." replied New Jersey, He loved drinking and have fun most of the time. He even crack a few jokes while they were under pressure in the battlefield to brighten up the mood. The mare looked at the other guys and asked, "How about you three?" "We would like some wine." replied Georgia and shot New Jersey which made him flinch. The mare trotted away and arrived later with the drinks and set them down on the table. "Here you go, that would be 3 Bits each." "Thank you- um... may I ask your name?" asked Maryland while reaching to his bags, so are the others. "Berry, Berry Punch." Replied the mare while patting a hoof on her chest. She collected the bits and walked away counting them. They looked down at their drinks and picked it up. "Well..." Said New York, while clinging his glass with the others, "Bottoms up" ,The group lifted their cups to their lips and started pouring the liquid down their throat. --------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile, Virginia and Pennsylvania was walking through town and enjoying the scenes. They have spotted the Ponyville Tower and went up to it and examine how the large clock works. Gears turning, and a bell to remind the other ponies about the time, and other things. However, they were caught by surprise when a yellow uniformed pony accidently ran into them and knock them down. The pony was shouting in a weird language and the ocassional "Sorry", it looked like he was apologizing for his actions. And then he turned and dashed off towards the direction of Canterlot. The two neighbors were confused but shrugged it off. They weren't surprised anymore. They started walking down the street of this large town. They were curious about the tree in the middle of town so they decided to walk to it. Just then something happens that made Pennsylvania groaned in annoyance. A purple unicorn was walking around the streets of Ponyville reading a book and minding her own business before accidently bumping and knocking both her and Virginia down with a loud "oof". "oh my gosh, i'm so sorry!" said the Purple unicorn rubbing the back of her head. "Nah, Nah, it's fine." said Virginia picking himself up before picking the Unicorn up. "Oh, thank you." thanked the Unicorn with a slight blush. "so are you guys from Trottingham?" "Trottingham? what's that?" "Trottingham is a large city with the most modern technology. Like street lamps, carriages, and the houses are made of brick, and the style there is that ponies wore pioneer clothing." "Wow fascinating." Pennsylvania barged in, "I guess we are from Trottingham... So may I ask what is your name miss?" "My name is Twilight Sparkle," Twilight began her introduction," Princess Celestia's personal student and I also run the local library." When she finished, she got some looks of disbelief from the colonists but didn't notice. "So this is a monarch country? and who's Princess Celestia? was there a queen?" Asked Pennsylvania, "Wow, you don't know the Princess? Maybe I should send a letter the princess Celestia to ask the town to raise their learning skills... Anyways, No, this is a diarch country, and Princess Celestia is the co-ruler of Equestria, and she prefers to be called princess so others think she isn't all-powerful." "So a Constitutional Diarch Principality? Amazing..." Pennsylvania wondered before replying, "So what college did you go to? I went to the college of Philadel- I mean Trottingham." He earned a look from Twilight like he was stupid, but he earned a reply. "I told you before, I am the Personal Student of Princess Celestia, so I didn't learn from college. But at least I know from the best!" Twilight positively said before asking, "So what are your names?" "ah am Virginia." said Virginia before Pennsylvania could answer, "and this is Pennsylvania, he went to college so he are usually smarter than most of us." "Wait there is more of you?" Ask Twilight curiously, "Yes." "How many?" Virginia and Pennsylvania pondered at this question. There are 14 of them but 13 they were friendly with, and not to mention 14 is a large crowd so... "There are a total of 14, including us!" shouted out Pennsylvania before Virginia could answer Sweet, Sweet revenge... "Wow 14?" Twilight pondered at the moment before looking at the time, "Oh my gosh, I forgot something! I am so sorry but I must go!" Before the Patriots could answer, she dashed off. Up in the air a Rainbow Pegasus was admiring and impressed at Twilight's speed. ----------------------------------------------------------- Later, The first and third group meet back up at the town square. They said they had fun looking at the sights. Rarity's ears twitched as she realized something. The others stared at her in curiosity before she told them that she hadn't introduce them to her friends. They agreed on that, but then stopped dead in their tracks and realized that they forgot the others. The first group went to find the second group near the bar while the third group went to gather the others in Fluttershy's cottage. When the first group arrived at the bar, they facehoofed when they saw that the others were unconscious and was sleeping on the table. The others pondered and think that dragging their friend's bodies around Ponyville won't be good for their backs. So they decided to drag their flanks back to the cottage. -------------------------------------------------------------- The Third Group known as Pennsylvania and Virginia went up the doorstep for Fluttershy's cottage. Before they open the door, they heard a loud Crash! inside the house and hastily opened the door to investigate what happened. It seemed that Massachusetts had finally managed to wake the others. He was laughing uncontrollably while the 2 others were petrified and jumped like startled cats. "Jeez Massachusetts! Don't do that ever again!" Connecticut was first to recover. "Aahahah! I-I!" Massachusetts tried to speak but his words are covered by his own laughter, "I think he says that he is sorry and he wanted to wake you up?" Pennsylvania finished and looked at Massachusetts who had just finished laughing and nodded. "Well we better go, The others are waiting." Virginia suggested. They all agreed and got ready to go. After they had finished Pennsylvania decided to open the door. But as he opened the door the door hit something solid. When he looked around, he saw that he hit Fluttershy square in the face while her friends were staring at her in horror. Fluttershy fell back and landed on her flank and looked up at New Hampshire with tears in her eyes. "Oh my, Fluttershy I-I'm sorry I.." Pennsylvania stuttered on his words. Fluttershy wanted to be alone, she wanted to get away from all of them. She does not want New Hampshire to see her crying. So she got up and cried as she ran in the direction of the Apple Orchard. There was a silence before it was broken playfully by Virginia. "Your in big trouble, mate!" "Shut up, Virginia." > The Everfree Migration? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hold on Fluttershy, wait!" shouted out Pennsylvania while being followed by 14 others. They were chasing Fluttershy for almost 15 minutes now. But Fluttershy's objective was to get to Applejack. As they are near the Apple Orchard, Fluttershy ran through the apple trees and lost from sight. The others followed in pursuit. Suddenly, the group was stopped when Connecticut accidently ran, head-first, into a tree and cursed and flailing violently in pain. Georgia and Rhode Island went to calm him down just as when the others realized that they have been lost. They followed each other left and right and when it seemed that they are going to get lost, they managed to find and opening that leads to the front of the Apple farm. The group finally spotted Fluttershy as she was crying and was in the comfort of the orange mare, Applejack. Right after Applejack finished asking a barely audible question. Fluttershy spotted the group back pointed to Pennsylvania and saying words that they cannot hear. Applejack looked deadly at Pennsylvania and stomped towards him. "Were yah the fellah who hit Fluttershy!?", Applejack said sternly jabbing a hoof into his chest which made him wince. "Um y-yes but It was an accid-" "What were yah thinking!? poor Flutters!", Applejack cut him off, Applejack was just about ready to hit him before hearing a scream behind them. Everyone turned around and saw that some type of... wolves made of wood was growling and moving closer to Fluttershy. Some of the colonists cover their noses from the stench. Britain was shocked, but quickly recovered as his insticts has been activated. "Men! Get ready!" Shouted Britain. The Colonists around him was unsure but obeyed as they know no ideas. They lined up in a defensive wall. "Ready your arms!", The Colonists knelt down and raised their..... Muskets? wait they forgot, they didn't have muskets at the time. They got nervous and fleeing was on their minds. But when they heard another ROAR!!, they overcome their fear and instead readied their fists....or hooves. The pack of wolves were about 4. The French pony explained to the others that it looked like a somewhat large scouting group. Having been in the frontier before, Rhode Island was the best in the wilderness out of the rest of his new friends. The Colonists hesitated, unwilling to make a move until one of the wolves start to pounce on Fluttershy, who emits a loud scream from that attack. Pennsylvania had decided to make the first move out of all of the ponies. He leaped and knocked one of the wooden wolves away just as it knocked Fluttershy to the ground. New Hampshire rushed forward and help Fluttershy up to all four hooves and both of them ran to a safe distance. Pennsylvania started punching the wooden wolf he pounced on. If he still had his fingers, it would sore and each punch was like hitting a tree with your bear fists. Fortunately, his hooves protected him from that. The others joined in, but against other of those wolves made of trees. Applejack stormed up to the first wolf, turned around and raised her back hooves and bucked it in the snout. It fell back clutching it's snout in pain. Massachusetts suddenly, came out of nowhere with an axe and began chopping up the wolf. When he's done, the wolf was in pieces, tree sap was slowly oozing out of the ends of each limb. "Um, sorry to bother but... where did you get that axe?" asked New Hampshire, "Er... found it?" replied Massachusetts, but sounded unsure. The others around him raised their eyebrows. "Okay- okay fine, I stole it from the Ponyville market while no one is looking.", Applejack stared at him in disappointedly, he noticed this and said, "Hey, it's either us or them, besides we could benefit from this." he raised his stolen axe. "Well yah shouldn't have ta steal this axe either!" Argued Applejack. Massachusetts was speechless, but uttered a "whatever" in response. Applejack would've reply but heard one of the colonists asking for help near her. She turned around and rushed to the voice in need. New Hampshire just realized that he needed a weapon for his own as he is not well fighting in close combat. "Fluttershy," Fluttershy looked at him and then he said in determination, "I need my musket!" "The wooden thing with a metal tube? B-but it's a weapon isn't it?" Argued Fluttershy. New Hampshire stared at her like he had known what to do. "I......fine," New Hampshire beamed at when she gave in easily, "It's in the closet near the outside of my room..." New Hampshire rushed back to the house. He burst through the door and searched around frantically, looking for the weapon. He finally found it and opened the door and searched the neat pile. He finally found the rifle with the initials: A.P. engraved on the stock and he grabbed it and shut the door. He jumped down the stairs and landed on his back hooves. He felt wind brushed through his hair. He slowly touched his head and found that his lucky hat isn't there. He began searching around the house, looking for it. He stopped and looked at his reflection on the large mirror in the corner. He looked down and he had hooves and the body of a pony. When he looked up he saw himself in his original form. interesting... He continued his search but have grown desperate. He looked at the mirror in during his failure at searching. In the mirror, it was different. It showed his pony-form instead of his original human form. I must be going bonkers... he began searching for his hat one last time. He gave up on finding his lucky hat and ran out the door to the Apple Orchard. Once he got there, there was only 1 wolf left. It was slightly bigger than the others, so it must be the leader of the scouting pack. The others were still trying to fight it, but it was smart and was skirmishing from them. Fluttershy spotted him and ran towards him. "Are you sure you could take on the timberwolf with that?" questioned Fluttershy pointing to the object in his hoof. Timberwolf? "I hope so. Without my lucky hat, I am not sure it would work." New Hampshire answered. "That hat you we're wearing?" Fluttershy received a nod, "Maybe you shouldn't use it.." "Have no fear," New Hampshire put a hoof on Fluttershy, "I have to, I must protect my comrades..." he took his hoof off of her and walked near the Timberwolf. New Hampshire stood up on his hind legs and quickly lost balance and tumbled forward. He managed to hold a grip on his musket and tried again in a different position by standing up on his hind legs and kneeling down. The monster noticed him when New Hampshire trying to experiment on a comfortable and balancing position to fire his musket in. It figured out that he held a weapon. The Timberwolf still didn't know how it works but a weapon is a weapon, it is dangerous. It roared and began to charge at New Hampshire. As New Hampshire managed to get into the position that he wanted, he checked his gun and raised it up. But not fast enough as the creature rammed into him, send New Hampshire flying backwards and hit an apple tree. New Hampshire tried to get up but a couple apples fell and hit him in the head. He rubbed it off and looked around for his rifle. He spotted it near Rarity who was hyperventilating. He called out to Rarity and got her attention and he pointed a hoof to his rifle. Rarity wasn't sure, which frustrated New Hampshire. Finally Rarity gave in and, with her magic, she threw it towards New Hampshire and he caught it with his hooves. He checked the gun and go into a sitting position. He threw up his rifle and the creature charged again. He pulled the trigger and the gun made a click.......... huh? The gun didn't fire, it's jammed or either the gunpowder was wet! He banged a hoof on his rifle a couple of times and it locked back into ready position. He raised his rifle again just to get rammed again by the Timberwolf, luckily he been thrown off the side of the tree so he is free. But he tumbled down the hill and landed in mud. He crawled to the rifle but a sharp pain in his back and legs slowed him down. He looked around and saw that he was bleeding and a slight bone (around the ankle and some of the spine) exposure. He looked right and saw the Timberwolf running towards him. The Others around him froze up, unable to act. It is all up to him to save his life. He crawled to the rifle ignoring the pain with pure determination. The creature began going in for the kill. The creature sprinted towards him. New Hampshire's hoof was centimeters from his gun, but yet he cannot reach it. When the creature leaped towards him, he got desperate. His desperateness had saved his life and he managed to grab hold of the gun. He turned around on his back and raised his gun one last time. The creature hit the bayonet and sap poured out. It struggled and pulled out and tree sap poured out slowly. The creature was about to make another move until Pennsylvania leaped on top of it and grabbed hold of it's neck, pulling it into a hostage grip. "Shoot!" Pennsylvania shouted. "B-but, the bullet might go through the creature to you!" stuttered New Hampshire "Don't care! shoot it! You have to shoot it! Think about the lives you could save!...." New Hampshire was still not sure, before Pennsylvania added in, "Think about Fluttershy!" Something clicked in New Hampshire and he almost hesitantly raised his musket and pulled the trigger. KABANG!..... The Creature's severed body fell over. Pennsylvania just stood there still holding like the creature was there. He tipped alarmingly to the left and fell over and his body flopped onto the ground and heslipped into darkness as blood poured into his vision. New Hampshire breathed heavily. He lost too much blood on his back and fell backwards and lay there unmoving. The Others stood there, in shock of the scene before them. "(New) Hampshire!" Fluttershy rushed to his sight looking for a heartbeat. While a few others checked on Pennsylvania. Rhode Island looked at the 4 dead Timberwolves. "Interesting," he said astonishedly, "I wonder where are they from..." "We'll Timberwolves don't normahlly gone out this fahr" said Applejack. "Hmm, then something must've made them migrate... but what? Usually there must be a higher power in the forest required in order for that to happen..." Rhode Island licked his lips before looking back up to Applejack, "But what?" > Hospital Dreams (before the Reveal) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We must get them to the hospital." Said Twilight, She been called over to examine the bodies to see if they are alive or not, she was then introduced the situation. She was astounded when she still heard breathing from both of the stallions on the ground. She looked at the dead timberwolves and looked back. Her eyes wandered curiously to the certain item on the ground. She was also curious of this technology they held. If Trottingham have this kind of technology and doesn't share it with Equestria, then there must be something going up over there. Most likely a rebellion. They have been rowdy over harsh taxes passed down by their mayor. Celestia would step in but they needed the money to raise towns, armies, and other stuff. She went to the weapon looked down at the musket, Equestria could benefit from this kind of technology to stop any who try to disrupt harmony and peace throughout the land. She lifted the gun up with her magical orb and examine it closely. It had a long metal tube on one and with a curved wooden piece on the other. She decided to save this for later for further examination. Then she heard a cry behind her. She turned around to see "What in tarnation ahre yah doin'!?" shouted Applejack, pulling on the head of the axe "I have to cut his leg off just incase if he was infected!" said New Jersey, while pulling on the handle. "Wait until we get to the hospital!" argued Applejack. "No Time! The exposure would pour in!" yelled New Jersey and yanked the axe out of AJ's hooves. "STOP!", Both sides looked at the purple unicorn, "We cannot cut New Hampshire's leg! It's unorthodox, we can teleport him to the hospital." "Teleport?" "Yes, teleport." "I wish we can teleport." said New Jersey looking down. Twilight suddenly felt a little bad. "Well your unicorn friends could help you." "Wait, unicorns?" "yeah, you know, the ponies with horns on their heads?" "I know what a unicorn is, but who is the unicorns in our group?" "Well as far as I can see, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Britain." "What!?" gasped New Jersey, "Why haven't we noticed before!?", Suddenly wings sprouted from New Jersey's back. Which automatically made him blush (In terms, we call it a wingboner). New Jersey looked behind him and revealed 2 large wings on his back. The others seemed to take note of their features (besides the Southern States because they are all Earth ponies due to their area is mostly farmers). The Middle states are the Pegasi, The New England States (and Britain) are the Unicorns, and Southern States are mainly Earth ponies. Twilight just stood there dumbfounded, how on Equestria didn't anyone of them know about their race? The Colonists and Britain is in hot water now! "How can you not know about your race?" Twilight asked, it is a very complicated question that made the colonists feel uneasy. But New York came along just in time to save the day! "I think that we should actually help our mates into the hospital?", Twilight completely forgot about that. Asking questions is less important than a pony's life. "Fine..." --------------Adam Philips/ New Hampshire----------------- Human bodies explode left and right as Adam Philips got behind a rock. The grass was slightly yellow as the battlefield was filled with blood. At the lake near him, a couple ships were on fire as people jumped overboard trying to get away from the flames. Suddenly a General who led the regiment named Benedict Arnold reminded them of their objectives. "Remember men, We must stall the enemy as long as possible!" He raised a sword while saying this to get the attention of his men. Adam then ran up to a burning British ship nearby and grabbed out his torch. He held to torch next to the flames. The flames sizzled as it spread onto the torch. New Hampshire then ran to the sawmill and threw his torch onto nearby wood. The sawmill was almost immediately set ablaze, New Hampshire coughed when the wind blow the smell of smoke to him. The Fire covered almost half the building when New Hampshire fled to regroup with his comrades. Suddenly he heard voices in his head. 'Doctor, this patients is slowly bleeding out with some bone exposure in the leg and the spine!' said the voice of a young women, no later than her 20s 'Get the procedure ready! we cannot let him die after he saved lives' replied an older male voice New Hampshire was confused, he stood there. Wondering as his comrades slowly, one by one, starts to flee from battle. His thoughts were interrupted when a loud boom erupted behind him. All the eagerness New Hampshire felt whisked away as he starts to tremble. He had forgotten that war is such a horrible thing. He was just about to flee with his comrades until a hand reached to his shoulders. He turned around and revealed a blond continental soldier, slightly taller than him with long untied blonde hair reaching his shoulders. "Alexander?" Adam Philips/New Hampshire said, almost lost for words. "Adam, stay here! We must fight to the death!" shouted Alexander, showing his determination for blood. Suddenly, Benedict Arnold called for a retreat. Showing a disappointed face, Alexander ushered New Hampshire to come along as they ran out of the main battle with their comrades. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This seems weird." Said the doctor, checking over notes, "It seems that their wounds had healed, but the side effects are deadly... This is not normal. It's like their bodies is reacting negatively to magic!" "Magic?" said Connecticut, "I thought magic doesn't exist..." "Of course it does! Are you feeling fine?" said the doctor, not sure what to make when a pony doesn't know about magic. He then stopped and looked to Pennsylvania. He was in the worst condition in the whole floor. Also by the fact that those ponies doesn't know what an actual hospital look like, they are simply a mystery. --------------------Brandon Harkness/ Pennsylvania------------ Brandon was strolling down the street, in a good mood for today. He found the destination he had been looking for. The Statehouse/Congress' house. He walked in and sat down on the chair waiting for him. "Okay, as Brandon Harkness of Pennsylvania has finally arrived." Said the head of Congress, "Now we must begin solving issues. As we had won the war against Great Britain. Let's start off with the frontier, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, etc. said that they will claim the region. Any questions?" Augustus De Keizer of New York's hand shot up. "*sigh* What is it now New York?" "I think that I should have all of it! and the region between me and New Hampshire." said Augustus. He received a few gasps. "You, New York, are twisted! Everything is not about size! I need the land so it would even it out! plus, it looks good on the map..." said Adam Philips, shaking his fist in the air. Brandon, however, was not thinking of territorial claims. He stepped in the air and shouted out. "Speaking of size, I agree with New Hampshire, For Virginia, I think the Catawba region should be a separate state." "Stay on topic Pennsylvania," said the head of congress, "but you do have a point, lets move on to this topic." "One of the counties on the region should take on the name for the state." "Very well, Pennsylvania, we agree with your idea. Any oppose?" Virginia's hand shot up. "Then it's settled," said the head of congress, "I hereby declare Virginia is to be spli-" Then a voice interrupted Pennsylvania's thoughts. 'I'm afraid that this one would stay in the hospital a little while longer' said a male voice in a disappointed tone. ------------------------------------------- "Man, I hate waiting." Complained Maryland. "Don't worry, just look around this peculiar hospital." replied Delaware, "The only hospitals I've seen are only large tents during the battlefield and stuff...", With that Twilight just had enough with this strange things the "Trottinghamers" have talked about. Some of them are not normal to Equestrian society. "What are you hiding!?" snapped Twilight. Shouting at the Colonists, they are hiding something. And she want to get to the bottom of it. Her anger went away when she heard silent sniffles. She turned and her expression softened and saw Fluttershy silently crying while she was sitting next to the side of the bed where New Hampshire lay. "I'm sorry New Hampshire... Pennsyvlania... Im sorry.." > Is it a Revolution or a Civil War? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyville Hospital 1900 HRS "Alright something is up here!" Said Twilight. if she were Human, then she would put her hands on her hips. Every one of them remained silent. Which frustrated her even more. Fluttershy was asleep next to New Hampshire, luckily she didn't awoke. Connecticut then yawned in exhaustion, Twilight snapped upon hearing this and used her magic to bring him up to the air. He struggled with all his might he have to find someway to pull himself out but he don't have a platform to pull. "Tell me now or I will..." Twilight paused unable to finish the sentence when the colonists still wear empty expressions. There was a silence but was broken by Virginia. "Hurting us will only violate the law. If it exists..." He said in monotone. Twilight then groaned in frustration and let go of Connecticut. She put a hoof to her chin and thought for a moment. She then had an idea. With a devilish smirk, she then engulfed Connecticut with her magic and began tickling him. The he felt the pleasure to laugh, but he bit his lips and also grind his own teeths. Twilight tried harder he almost look like he is going to begin bursting out laughing, unable to handle it much longer but he remained still. Twilight knew that he isn't giving up so easily. "Tell me or I shall tickle you to death!" commanded Twilight, in a sinister tone. "N-never!" said Connecticut voice was muffled from biting his lips. He then looked to his "friends", "Why aren't you guys helping!?" "Pay back for stealing our bread.." answered Rhode Island. The other Colonists looked at Twilight like she was a mischief-like child. Surely this is immature behavior and not really effective right? Maybe, Maybe not. But the colonist knew it's not harmful and just for fun. Just then Connecticut burst out laughing, unable to contain it much longer. Twilight knew she was close to getting the information out of him. However, the other colonists doesn't seem to do anything about it, knowing that they have a unicorn that ACTUALLY knows spells in the room. Finally, after many minutes later. He finally gave up and surrendered. "Okay, now tell me the truth about you guys..." Said Twilight, somewhat proud of herself. She imagined herself getting a job as a Interrogator... but shrugged it off as it is 'silly' for her. Come to think of it she doesn't have any job that could give her any cash. But luckily, Celestia had helped paid for her family back in Canterlot. And also Ponyville Library doesn't really need any money to rent. "Why should I?" stubbornly questioned Connecticut folding his arms. Twilight horn starts to glow- "Okay-okay! I... WE" Connecticut looked to the others and back, "shall tell you the truth..." "Well, I'm listening." said Twilight, growing impatient by the minute. "Okay... how do I start?" Connecticut is trying to stall but it seemed to late as he noticed Twilight patience is starting to break, "I... well we... are from the newly founded country, the United State of America." Twilight realized that this is no normal explanation as she heard unfamiliar names and quickly summoned a some parchment and quill. She wondered why these ponies are from a country who has their species and not united with Equestria? She shrugged it off as their ancestors migrated to the other side of the world, which they had not discovered yet. She began writing down, with magic, his words. She noticed he stopped after 'America', she figured that she needed to ask questions just to get the information out of him. "Hmmm, can you tell me why your country is founded?", Twilight asked. Connecticut was unsure, as he actually didn't really know the detailed reason than just 'because of high taxation without representation in the government' and stuff like that. Massachusetts took over Connecticut's position from there. "Well, there was a country named Great Britain," Twilight then looked at Britain, who then looked down, "who had treated us badly. They set down high taxes down on us without us having a say. Some of us went indebt and the British put us in jail for having no money to pay, despite being in debt. They are tyrants as they are and their minions, the redcoats, had murdered our people in cold blood when we had questioned their rule." This appalled Twilight, as she wrote it down. She was just about to ask a question before being interrupted by Britain. "More like rebels and civil wars." Spat Britain, "We were indebt due to the French and Indian war, and we tried to find money to pay our troops! We have one of the most powerful troops in the world, but these "rebels" keep questioning us. They had tar and feathered our innocent, they tortured loyalists. The patriots are thugs who needs to be dealt with! They are evil as bandits!" Twilight noticed that the colonists frowned. "What's a Patriot and Loyalist?" asked Twilight. "Patriots are rebels who wanted to die just to have this 'freedom'. How can they get freedom when they are already dead?" Britain exclaimed, "Loyalists are people who are still loyal to the crown. They are proper and they are bullied by these thugs." Britain shot a look at the colonists, who just resented it back. Twilight noticed this and asked if they hate each other. All of them nodded. "What!? Why do you guys hate each other so much? What about friendship!?" "Friendship?!" said New York chuckled and then spat, "I don't know much about history but I know there aren't much to go around!" Twilight was taken back. How can these ponies live in disharmony? in fact are they disunited? "How many countries are there?" "Well I don't know, ask Pennsylvania!" they then looked to Pennsylvania, he was still in bed unconscious. He doesn't look to good. He is breathing heavily out of his mouth a lot lately and he only woke up once. Since the hospital is full of sick ponies, bacteria could sneak through any crack. But luckily Pennsylvania didn't catch any, but it is something else. The doctor said he is having a severe case of fever, but he could recover in a month or two. New York looked back to Twilight. "Many... too many...." Twilight thought this for a moment and an 'idea' struck her. "I must send this to Princess Celestia at once!" declared Twilight and excused herself then opened to door to find that a Dark blue Alicorn was waiting for her, "Princess Luna!?" Twilight said, startled, "What are you doing here!?" "We must speak to Sir New Hampshire and Pennsylvania!" ------About 5 hours earlier------ Adam's Dream "ahhh!" shouted a patriot getting shot in the chest while trying to fire his gun. "Alexander!" shouted Adam Philips. He grabbed the patriot by the arm and started pulling him to safety. Just then a cannonball dropped out of nowhere and exploded near them. The shrapnel killed Alexander, luckily Adam was protected as he was behind his friends body and out of luck. Adam landed a few feet away from the blast and looked up to see his friend's body. "Alexander no!" he screamed running towards his friend and knelt down. He put his hand on his friend's chest to try to stop the bleeding. His friend knocks his hand away. "G-go!" said Alexander, barely containing a whisper. "N-no! I wont leave you!" shouted Philips while shaking his head, and starts to drag his friend again. Which again knocked his hand out of the way. "You must leave! You could help me by retreating! save yourself!" cried Alexander, He grunted then looked up to the heavens, "It's too late for meeee..." suddenly his body went limp. "No!" Adam tried to shake his mate's body but with no luck. A thought then flashed through his mind -could help me by retreating! save yourself!. He then finally did as he was told, he started to run away. Just then he heard a cry near him. He turned around and saw one of his comrades was struggling with several redcoats. He was about to turn around and ignore him, but he stopped and turned back around. He was not going to let another die. He then raced towards the soldier in need not noticing almost a dozen others doing the same thing. Just then a bright light froze time except Philips. He stopped running and looked all around, dumbfounded. what? He walked towards one of the British soldiers and started poking him in the face. After a few pokes got harder and harder. The Redcoat's body fell to it's side, still remaining in position before it was interfered. He then walked towards his friend's corpse. He knelt down and put his hand on the body. Remembering the fun times he had with when it was alive........ "Ahem!" "Meep!" jumped Adam Philips. He turn around and saw a dark blue horse like figure with horns and large wings. Then his body starts to shake in aftershock, "W- who are you!?" he stammered. The creature cleared before saying, "We art Luna! Princess of the night and keeper of dreams!" "Wha-what do you want from me?" stammered Adam a little louder this time. The creature paused before raising a hoof, "We have noticed that you are an entirely different species, correct?" "Erm, yes..." "Well we are interested to know about your kind!" "My kind?" "Why yes, we saw what you are dreaming-"dreaming?,"-... your kind has a history of military conflicts we presume?" Adam nodded. "Then we art interested on how your species has evolved from sticks and stones to technology that surpasses Equestria's in just over 5000 years!" "B-but I don't really know much about my kind..." "Then tell us what this war you were fighting was about!" said Luna, starting to show signs of impatience "Wait, if this was a dream, then how do you know this war actually exists?" "We can tell between dreams with fantasies and dreams with memories." "Are you using we as in Royal We ooorr.. referring to there is more of you?" "Royal we." "Okay then..." Adam Philips thought about this, why?... maybe I should tell her so she can leave me alone... "..and I think that's about what happened so far.." Luna sat there, stunned. She never knew or expected that even the weakest could actually stand up to or rebel against the government. Well, as far as she have seen in her lifetime. Just then, she have no more time to stay a while longer. "Thank you for your help, sir...?" said Luna, then asking for his name while lifting a hoof "Adam Philips, you could call me New Hampshire." said Philips, he then hesitantly shook her hoof, "By the way, I like to be called Mister... if you don't mind.." "Well, thank you Sir New Hampshire, we must be off to the other patriot beside you." Luna then vanished. Leaving Adam there stunned. Time, in the dream, starts to pick up the pace as sounds of explosions and bullet fire got less heavier until it is at normal pace. Adam was snapped out of his thoughts as his comrade was crying out for help. "-and pretty much, basically the same thing happened with Sir Pennsylvania's dream." Finished Luna. "Huh, now that actually makes sense now..." called out Georgia. Twilight wondered that she should tell Princess Celestia. But Luna already knows about them, so... maybe? She still is conflicting with herself if she should personally tell Princess Celestia, or let Luna do it. Maybe, Princess Luna already told her? Whatever it is, she shrugged it off as she would find out later. > The South were the real Revolutionaries > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is not intended to offend anyone from Tennessee! A green pony with a short golden mane in a blue uniform sat with his friends by the fire who were wearing the same thing beside the grey ones on the other side. He coughed violently, this notified the others that he is not feeling well. But they don't have a doctor, which doesn't help this poor teenaged male. " 'Ey Philips, are you feeling okay?" asked the Blue pony who had a silver and gold mane, Elmer Gauss of Nevada. "I-I am fine, don't worry about me..." replied the Vermonter, but then coughed again. Which concerned the others, but when dear Samson Adam Philips said he is feeling fine, then they should shrug it off. Because they know not to provoke him when asking too much. "So Samson...?" The Green Unicorn looked at who had just called him by name. He had a yale blue coat with Californian gold mane, who also known as Grain Frederickson, of California. "Why did you get 'Adam' in your name?" "Well..." Samson started, "My dad said it is to honor my great grandfather's brother when he disappeared in the battle of..." He trailed off, but then suddenly he forgot. He had known this for months but he keeps forgetting important things occasionally, and this isn't the right time for that. He then scanned his memories leading up to the moment before remembering, "Brandywine Creek, I think. It has been going on for generations leading up to right now I suppose." "So where are you guys from?" asked Elmer, "I am from Nevada!" "I'm'a from California." said Grain Frederickson, "West Virginia, We shall replace Virginia!" said Michael Bloon Garnett, "Oregon." said Edward Joesph, "Kansas, it is very bloody there lately..." came a reply Henry Hickerson, and so on and so forth. The introduction is too long that it bored some of the soldiers who already had mentioned their name (go check the author's notes in the third chapter if you want to see the whole introduction). "Wait hold on..." said the Oregonian, waving his hands to get the others' attentions, "All of us came from separate states, it is impossible for that to happen. Coincidence? I think not!" The West Virginian rolled his eyes before putting logic into his words, "Well somewhere in history have a chance to have it, and I think it has chosen us...." "Well we all came from the Battle in Franklin county..." the Nevadan added in. "Hey guys! I got an idea!" said Alabama, "since we all came from different states, I think we should call ourselves from our home state! And also because I like codenames..." "I think ve should." Agreed Louisiana, "And also ve need to find out what the hell are ve!" Tennessee then got a brilliant idea and raised a hoof before a couple others of his comrades shot him a look. He frowned and looked hurt as his idea fades away. "Why are you guys being mean to Tennessee?" asked Vermont, feeling concerned for him. "He is annoying and immature as crap!" answered Arkansas. The White and Orange pony who had been insulted had tears forming in his eyes. But his allies doesn't care for his feelings. It's only rumors...Misunderstandings... Tennessee thought. "Well I think we should move and find a town to help us." suggested Florida "B-but, that's what my idea is-" "SHUT YO DAMN FLAPPER, YOU ASS!" snapped Alabama directly at Tennessee. Which made everyone jump while the victim whimpered and shrank down in his seat. "Ah think we need to git a move ahn." Suggested Texas, trying to calm Alabama down by getting his mind off of Tennessee. He received a several nods, including Alabama. They then finally decided to start packing and moving. Kansas took down his handmade tent before a little crack made him fall down it sudden pain. It turned most of the heads. "Kansas!" shouted Minnesota before running to his fallen friend. " 'Ey, don't worry about me." Said Kansas before getting back up. "Why did you fall?" All eyes then focused on Kansas. Who sighed and sat down and started explaining why. "Well, in the time during 1855, my state was voting to be a slave or free state. But a couple(over 5,000) of pro-slavers came over from Missouri and illegally voted. The vote had passed for Kansas to be a slave state. Which outraged everyone, besides the south, because they cheated. So then it started a conflict within' Kansas and with Missouri. They tried re-voting but the slave-supporters won every time. Eventually the war ends when the Abolitionists got their way. I was one of those northerners who were looking for battle for the south when I found out my state reached statehood. We most fought here and there. I was injured during those conflicts, I lost a lot of blood from that day. And I never seemed to recover, but doctors say that I would get better in a few years. But even if I am young, I must help establish a home we could live with. Because I won't move out of the territory I was born in." As soon as he finished his story, all the states already sat down. They apologized for his blood loss and got up to finish packing. After several minutes of packing, they finally were ready and started moving out of the forest. "So Tennesse..." Vermont said while catching up with Tennessee. Tennessee grimly looked up to Vermont, "Why do people think your annoying?" "Uh," Began Tennesee, "Well, during my first time in the army, that was back in 1862, I was very social and willing to make new friends. People who doesn't like my positive attitude labeled me as annoying. Which spread and followed me since." Meanwhile, in the back of the group. Nevada stopped from time to time to dribble, with a pencil, on his journal. After he found out that he can use his hooves to write, his handwriting became slightly sloppy. Arkansas noticed this and started to get curious of what he is writing about. "Nevada, What are you writing about?" he said, "I am writing in my journal also I am trying to write a story about my adventures in this strange forest." Responded Nevada, in his Spanish/Mexican accent, "quite intriguing and er..." he suddenly stopped lost in thought before continuing with a grunt, "ugh, need more English words..." Arkansas chuckled and grinned. Everyone stopped and fell into silence when they heard a faint gunshot in the distance. A couple of them mumbled. "Hmph must be a battle," Said California, "I didn't know these.... beings" he gestured to himself, "have guns..." There was a momentary silence before the gang continued their path out of the forest. Luckily they haven't ran into any creatures of the dark yet....? > Spanish Rebels (The best chapter so far and Introduction of the Problem) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "-And then she opened her door, and she found that her husband died of suffocation!" said Luna as she finished her joke of dark humor. The room burst out in a laughing fit, besides Twilight and Fluttershy. Their fun was interrupted when a nurse came by at the door telling them that visiting hours are over in about an hour or two. "Remember, visiting hours are over in one or two hours." The nurse repeated, just before she saw Luna, "Oh, Princess! I didn't know you're here, you can stay as long as you like! Are they with you?" Luna turned to them for a second before turning back around before replying. "Yes, humble subject! These colonists, including Miss Fluttershy and Twilight, are with us." she said while pointing a hoof to herself and then others. "Exellent, carry on!" The nurse said before leaving the room. After the last footsteps faded, everyone went back to their business. "Hey, why don't we tell scary stories?" suggested New Jersey. Everyone agreed with his suggestion, but Fluttershy and New Hampshire didn't. "S-scary stories?" Fluttershy said while her legs shook and New Hampshire with shivers down his spine, "b-but, I don't like being scared!" "Ehh, don't worry, it is not really scary when it cannot go out and get'cha!" Said New Jersey in his usual Scottish accent. Fluttershy then whimpered in response. "Okay here I go," Started New Jersey, "It was a dark and stormy night-" -3 minutes later- "The women let out a ear piercing scream, The boy heard it and ran upstairs to the door leading to the bedroom." While New Jersey is telling a story, Everyone excluding the colonists were holding each other in fear. But New Jersey liked this and added tension to the story. And it builds up so much that it could be the size of a house. But New Jersey decided to pop it to avoid anyone going crazy or snapping out, "After he attended to the broken chair on the floor, he opened the door to find a-" Suddenly the door beside him burst opened and everyone in the room, startled by sudden loud noises, screamed. Including NJ, who fell out of his chair. Everyone in the room calmed down when they saw the Royal Guards' bewildered faces. Luna then quickly fixed herself before attending to the guards. "What is the problem gentlecolts?" she said, in a modern sentence. The guards looked at each other before answering in a serious tone. "Princess, there is an emergency, an army of ponies in yellow-brown clothing had attacked and conquered Trottingham!" "What!? How can this be!?" said Princess Luna, shocked. "Over about 5 hours ago, Some Patrol spotted them. They thought it was a threat so they decided to warn them to make them back off. But no avail as the army got closer. They responded in a language that is unfamiliar to us. They looked like they were tired and starving but the Patrol seemed to not bother letting them in. Tension had risen before in burst and the Yellow-Brown Army had killed the Patrol with some type of sticks that could explode things from a distance and they stormed the city and captured it!... Ma'am!" One of the stallions saluted after finishing his explaination. Luna contemplated this for a moment before responding, "Gather the rest of the Elements of Harmony and prepare 5 carriages. 1 for me, 3 for the colonists, and 1 for Miss Fluttershy and Twilight here." she gestured to the others. The Guards saluted before running off to tell the orders. "What is happening?" Fluttershy asked, "An army consisting of ponies in Yellow and Brown uniforms stormed and took Trottingham!" responded Luna, in a almost raged expression, "We are going to Canterlot!" "What we can't go yet! New Hampshire and Pennsylvania is still bed ridden and the doctors haven't figure out what the symptom is!" argued Fluttershy. "I am sure they could manage, as they are battle-hardened ponies." ... The Guards came back after almost 15 minutes and told them that the carriages were ready. They went outside and saw the carriages had just pulled in. The colonists watched in a bemused expression as the carriages defied the laws of physics and landed safely on the ground. Luna gestured to the others to climb in their carriages, and so they did. Right when Luna was finished climb in hers. She commanded in a Royal Canterlot Voice. "TAKE US TO CANTERLOT!" and so all 5 carriages lifted off. The Colonists clutched to the sides and themselves as the carriages took off. The Colonists (and Britain) sighed in relief as the Carriages stopped rising and the ride had gone smoother. They looked over to the side and some stared in wonderment while the others got scared of heights and clutched to the side yet again. Luna then laughed out loud at this. -26 minutes later- "So these are the attackers huh!?" said Pennsylvania. As he saw the streets below were being patrolled by the Yellow-Brown patrols,"Their clothing looks awfully familiar!" "So you know who they are!?" called out Luna, "I got an idea of it, yeah!" responded PA. Delaware was just sitting on the side, his elbows on the side while his hoof supporting his face as he leaned on the side of the carriage. New York noticed this and asked if Delaware is okay. He responded with a shrug and gone back to his business. -13 minutes later- Once they approached Canterlot, the Colonists( and Britiain) gazed at it in amazement. The Castle that looked like it came from the 1300s stands on a platform that defied physics, even the castle looks too silly! But it is very large indeed. Suddenly the carts started to slowly fall onto the castle. Making the Colonists and The Red Coat nervous. But again, their minds played tricks on them as they landed almost smoothly with a THUD!. The Colonists sighed in relief yet again, as they are almost a stranger to flight. Connecticut and Georgia had stomach aches, but Luna said that they would get use to it. Once the Colonists had jumped out of their Carriage, Luna ordered them to: "Follow us." She commanded, in a serious tone. The Colonists and the Redcoat then obeyed and started to follow her, including Twilight and Fluttershy. As they are heading towards the entrance, the Guards saluted to Luna but their eyes catch upon the unfamiliar ponies. Just as they lowered their spears Luna stopped them. "Stand down, they are with us." Said Luna, waving a hoof. She then entered the large castle, with her followers close behind her. Eventually, they arrive to a large door. Luna then stopped and turned around to face her followers. "Thee must stay outside, Our sister and we will have a chat about this new problem." Her followers then nodded and set their hooves on the floor/ground. Luna then opened the door with her horn, which made the colonists gazed in confusion, before disappearing behind it as it shuts with a loud CLIRK!. Just as the Others were about to sit down and wait, a voice been heard behind them. "Hey Twi, how you been doing?" said Rainbow, flying up to her. Just as Twilight was about to answer the question, Rainbow looked up to the 18th Centurians, "Who are they?" she said, pointing a hoof at them. "They are not from here, but they are here to help fight our cause." Most of them shook their heads, so Twilight glared at them. It had done the trick that the colonists then switched to nodding. Satisfied, she turned back to Rainbow, but noticed a couple more shadows behind her. Then she remembered; her friends were all here. "OH hey I remember you!" Shouted Pinkie, leaping in the air while pointing a hoof to New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Northern Carolina. She then dashed up to them and stopped just inches from their faces. "Sorry, I can't get the party working as Princess Luna had called us up!" "Uh, it's okay?" responded New Hampshire. "Oh hey Rarity." greeted Rhode Island before kissing her hoof which made Rarity blush and giggle. "My-my, what a gentlecolt!" she commented. Just as the rest of them got acquainted with each other, the door suddenly burst open with Celestia shouting, "Guards, seize them!" 6 minutes ago.... "Luna, what is it?" asked Celestia, attending to her royal duties by writing letters to nearby Patrols, alerting them about the sudden attack. But Luna noticed that the news of who they are haven't traveled to her yet, as Luna was closer than Celestia. "We just found out who are the attackers." Luna announced. Celestia looked up, interested and curious from what Luna just said. "You do? That's wonderful, who are they?" asked Celestia, grinning. "They are some sort of a invasion by these ponies in Yellow-Brown coats." explained Luna, "and they have these Large metal sticks called Guns or Muskets to be exact." "Hmmm, interesting..." said Celestia, scratching her chin with her hoof, "Perhaps we could try to interrogate them?" "And also, they speak a language that is foreign to us." Luna added in, "Oh, well nevermind." deadpanned Celestia, suddenly she brightened up when she had an idea, "Luna, I think we should gather all of the translators in Equestria! Faustrian, Prench, Equish, Romane, all of them, should be useful in finding the solution to this fight!" "That would be a splendid idea!" said Luna, "We shall go alert the Colonists about this." "Colonists?" Celestia raised an eyebrow, "What colonists?" "Well they are ponies who speak Equish, and they also dress in coats similar to the Yellow-Brown Uniforms!" explained Luna. Celestia then went furious, "You let an unknown generation of ponies into the castle, and possibly, they are the part of the same group who conquered Trottingham!?" yelled Celestia while pounding on the table in front of her. "Uhh....Maybe?" said Luna, bewildered at her sister's outrage. "Grr, I am very disappointed in you little sister!" Said Celestia in a serious tone. "But Tia, they are friendly-!" "And how do you know that!?" "Because, uh, We have interacted with them?" "That doesn't mean that they still aren't in the same group as the attackers!" yelled Celestia before opening the door with her Magic, "Guards," she cried out, "Seize them!" -5 days ago- "Darn it, why can't we contain this rebellion!?" said a pony in a yellow uniform in Spanish. He then looked out of the window, his subjects are protesting outside about that he should not have taken away the electoral system in the independent colony. And slowly but surely, being extremely isolated from their homeland and no way to contact them or get back meant that the Spanish colonists demanded their independence from the crown. This was supposed to be a violent protest, but the Protesters had brought weapons and they started beating the soldiers and firing at them. He cannot let them take him as the other regions of the colony is still in development and needs "leadership". The Royal Governor started to pack his things to escape the civil war that is about to become on the colony. "You Colonists shall not make a fool of me unlike my sister!" said Celestia, while the royal guards surrounded the colonists and pointed spears at them. The colonists responded by grabbing out their Muskets and aiming it them, with bayonets at the ready. The mane 6 had gasped at the scene starts to unfold in front of them. What do Celestia have on them? "Tia wait!" shouted Luna hurrying to her sister, Her sister then turned around and stared at her with eyes that could even make you're heart shiver. "And as for you, Lulu, you shall be relieved from your duties until we figure out these Colonists!" "But Tia-!" "UNDERSTAND!?" yelled Celestia, raining down on her little sister. Which appalled the castle. "Y-yes Big sister..." Whimpered Luna. Celestia's eyes then softed. "I'm sorry Lulu." apologized Celestia, "I don't know what has gotten into me... but I need to attend to something first." She turned back around and stared at the Colonists. They stared back. "Do you dare challenge royalty!? Surrender now and you will not be harmed!" New Hampshire's trigger finger was itching, just as he was about to pull it on a nearby guard. He saw Fluttershy's scared face, his emotions had poured in. All the happiness she had given him would deteriorate if he pull a simple little lever. He contemplate this for a moment before giving up. "Fine," NH said while dropping his musket, "I give up." His friends then looked at him. Before they dropped theirs as well. "Me too." "Me three." "Same here." "I do not like this." It is now down to New York. As everyone looked at him, expecting him to follow his friends example. "What are you doing?" said New York, looking around. "We are giving up, New York, we don't want to anger her majesty any longer." Responded Delaware, New York looked down his gun. A shiny, unique, and 2 barrel machine. He cared for it, now he needed to surrender? Heck no, he wanted to teach that demon called Celestia a lesson for messing with him and his friends. But then again, when he fires, will put all of his friend's lives in jeopardy. He looked up at Celestia and his friends and down on his gun a few times before deciding. "Fine." he said deadpanned before releasing his gun onto the floor. Celestia then grinned at their cooperation before the guards grabbing each one. "Take them to the dungeon so we could interrogate them later..." ordered Celestia. Her Royal Guards then took each of the colonists and the redcoat away. "oh my..." Sniffled Fluttershy before tears started streaming down her cheeks. Twilight and some of the others comforted her. Twilight then looked up to Celestia. All she saw is sorrows in her eyes.
