Here is the first chapter of the revised Return of Chaos, enjoy!
30 years before Nightmare Moon Rebellion.
They came like a horde of ravished insects.
They devoured everything in their path.
They killed all who stood in there way.
They left nothing absolutely nothing.
Humanity fought back but even we could not quell their endless lust for destruction.
For decades we ran but now they have found Earth.
It is October the 19, 2480 Anno Domini, This is Staff Sergeant. William Wilkins and I hear them outside, they are coming for me. They won't take me alive, I've seen what they do to their prisoners and I have saved one bullet just in case.
I won't let them take alive, pray for me.
"Starswirl? Are you seeing what I am seeing?" A gray unicorn mare asked her superior.
"Yes Mildew, I am." The old unicorn wizard Starswirl the Bearded said. He and his apprentice, Mildew Dawn, were exploring an old cave in search for medicinal herbs when they came along what looked like an opening in the cave. Mildew had stepped on a rock which revealed a metal plate. Mildew leaned closer to the metal plate and touched it with her hoof. The plate suddenly lit up as a writing seemingly materialized out of nowhere from above the metal plate. Starswirl looked closer and realized the writing was being projected from the metal plate below.
"Starswirl? What do those words mean? Humanity? Earth? Staff Sergeant?" Mildew asked nervously.
"Interesting I have never seen this before." Starswirl said examining the machine.
"Is it magic?" Mildew asked.
"I don't think so but the Princesses are going to want to hear about this!" Starswirl said as he and Mildew teleported back to Canterlot to consult with the sun goddess and ruler of the Kingdom of Equestria, it was her job to raise the sun everyday and her little sister's, Princess Luna, job to raise the Moon every night.. Princess Celestia had just finished raising the sun when Starswirl came bursting into her throne room.
"Princess Celestia!" Starswirl yelled.
"Starswirl! What is the matter?" Celestia asked.
"You are not going to believe what my apprentice and I found!" Starswirl said as he explained what Mildew had discovered in the cave.
"Humanity? I have never heard of that before." Celestia said. She was extremely disturbed however by the grave words that were written in the journal, it was as if some terrible monster was hunting down who ever had made the journal entry. Celestia prayed that whatever it was coming for the thing that wrote the journal wouldn't come for her little ponies.
"What should I do your majesty?" Starswirl asked.
"Look more into this Starswirl, we must learn all we can." Celestia said.
"Of course your majesty." Starswirl said as he trotted off to do more research leaving Celestia to ponder her great thoughts.
Present Day- Canterlot Archives.
"What is it you want to show me Princess?" A purple unicorn mare by the name of Twilight Sparkle asked her ruler. Twilight was hoof chosen as Princess Celestia's personal protege when she was still a little filly. Twilight was very smart and a very skilled at magic. Twilight always aimed to please her mentor no matter what.
"What I am about to show is very important Twilight." Celestia said seriously. "You are the first pony to see this since the days of Starswirl the Bearded."
"Really?" Twilight squeaked enthusiastic at the thought of being able to see something so secret.
"One thousand years ago, Starswirl and his apprentice, Mildew Dawn, were exploring the nearby mountains for some magical herbs. However, they never could have prepared themselves for what they came across." Celestia said as she opened the vault containing the metal plate that Starswirl found all those years ago. Celestia activated the plate and it projected the same image it did to eh legendary wizard one thousand years ago.
"Princess it sounds like somepony was in trouble!" Twilight said as she read the disturbing journal entry.
"Somepony or something!" Celestia said in a grave tone.
"What do you mean princess?" Twilight asked.
"My dear Twilight, this is not magic making that image it is technology. Technology that is far beyond our own. Also it mentions something called 'humanity' which means?"
"That there was something here before us!" Twilight said putting the puzzle pieces together. "There were aliens here before us!"
"Yes and that is why I wish you to research this, Starswirl spent much of his life trying to decipher the mystery of this relic but alas even he was mortal."
"Does that mean I have to leave my friends?" Twilight said panicking.
"Of course not my little pony! I don't want you to spend your life researching this! Just see what you can do." Celestia said.
"You got it princess! I wont let you down!" Twilight said as she left.
"I know you won't my little pony." Celestia said smiling.
Thar we go, much better isn't it? Wait till you see what happens next.
