ARK: Introduction
By DarklyAura
It began many years ago when the scientists of the Canterlot royal observatory discovered a asteroid of unimaginable magical energy in the night sky. It would have been great news but this wasn't to be, the scientists have calculated the path of the asteroid and to their horror it was heading for their planet, the destruction from both the magical energy and the impact itself will be apocalyptic.
They also discovered the asteroid will reach the planet in three years, leaving the scientists and the royal family time to set up a plan to save as much ponies as possible from the upcoming apocalypse. With the assistance of the princesses and the most intelligent minds in all of Equestria they created the Ark program, giant underground chambers that will hold 300 Cryo-frozen ponies that that will remain frozen until the crisis passes so that theses surviving ponies will rebuild Equestria.
At last the day of the Apocalypse soon came to Equestria, the world was in chaos as ponies panicked and struggled to find shelter in the deepest caves or mines, prayed or spent what time they had left with their families. The Ark chambers were only half-filled before the operators were forced to close the large vault doors of the chambers when large scale riots erupted outside of the chambers, leaving many ponies trapped outside
Before the main impact the land of Equestria was bombarded by fiery meteoroids that rained from the skies, bringing death and destruction across the land before the much larger asteroid made impact in the open sea, the force from the impact was like millions of atomic bombs going off at once and the raw magical energy tripled that. Entire lands were swallowed in flames and magical energy before they fell beneath the boiling oceans. Those who were caught outside of the Ark chambers and without shelter were simply turned to ash and blown into the superheated winds. A still eerie quietness fell across the world as everything above ground was incinerated.
But this wasn't the end as those scientist many years ago said, those who were frozen in time in the Ark chambers began to emerge after the world stopped burning and the skies cleared. They only had the hell of the wastelands to greet them, a barren dessert where the remains of ponykind survives in struggling settlements, as murderous bandit clans or militaristic organizations. Bands of horrific mutants also roam the ruined dessert wastelands, the result of the deadly raw magical energy that was unleashed by the impact. Many of the Arks have opened at there destined time-dates but due to the impact many were damaged and remained closed like Ark 87-A which remained closed since that fateful day until now...
Yay another story, this one was inspired by fallout 3 and RAGE. I haven't really figured out a strong storyline yet for it but i have some great ideas that could work for it, the main cast will also appear in the story as they were also cryo-frozen or has survived the impact by magic or being underground. The story might also feature my pony OC or might make a new one but will prob just use my OC for the story
Alspo please share ideas and should i continue this story? :3
