-A/N:I was thinking about doing a prequel to this story. It was brought to my attention by Hero Lumanite. So my question to you is this. Is it a good idea. I think it to be wide to explain the start of all this hell for our characters. Please leave a review on your thoughts on the matter readers. Especially you Flake. Especially you. You know who you are. We've talked before on several occasions.-
-Narration-
An Earth Pony walked through the Human Colony to deliver the mail to the human mailing system. She felt so out of place because the humans just stared at her like they were going to eat her. She kept her head down and her ears on a swivel to make sure nopony would sneak up on her. She made it to the mailing house and unlatched the cart from her back and went inside.
"I have the mail for you," she told the man behind the counter who was writing something down on a piece of paper, "Script Stamp?" she called to him and got his attention.
"Oh yes," he then called for one of his assistants from the back, "Take the cart out to the back with her. I'll sort through it in a second."
"Yes sir," the young human followed her out and helped her latch the cart back onto her body, "You shouldn't be afraid. You've been coming here for months."
"I just get the feeling like I'm not supposed to be here is all."
"Don't worry, be happy," the human smiled and they walked to the back. There was a building with no one in sight which was weird.
"Where is everypony?" she looked around.
"They're out delivering yesterday's mail. They're trying to do something different."
"Like what?" the human kept quiet and they went inside. When she took the cart back off of her, she was surrounded by three other human boys, "What's going on?"
"This is going to be us having our way with you," one smirked evilly.
"Bart?" she looked to her human friend and he just looked away in shame, "Don't let them do this!"
"Sorry, Gaia, I have no choice."
"Get her!" a human shouted and they all jumped her before she could get away.
-Dashal-
...three days later...
"Where are those three boys now?" I asked Princess Luna.
"They're on their way up here now," she was angry along with me.
"I will have them hung for this!" I punched a hole in the wall, "How could they have done this?"
"They said that they're sick and tired of being treated as the weaker race."
"And they do some stupid ass shit like this?" I yelled, "And for what? To wet their cocks! To prove to their friends that they have the tenacity or the gall to do this!"
The doors to the Court Room opened. Three Pegasai ponies came in with the three teens in chains. I sat next to AB and Luna and Celestia at the Judge's table. I sat next to AB in the middle of Luna and Celestia.
The three boys were forced to their knees in front of us, "You all have fucked up really bad," I told them.
"All we wanted was to show this country that we humans aren't weak," the one in the middle spoke.
"Look at me and at Princess Dashal and at Princess AB. We are at the top of our game and rule the world. How do the differing races on this planet don't think highly of us. Because of you, the ponies in Equestria want a war with us humans. They were already under strain because the humans were here. Brining a few thousand humans here threw off the balance of this world because of their need for resources. It took me two years to bring the balance back and now you've gone and fucked it up."
"There is indeed a war now coming because of you threw and you know what?" Luna asked, "I think that us four might just let it happen!"
"Exactly, wait.. What?" I looked to her.
"There has been a tension building between humans and ponies and I think it's about damn time that we allow it. It'd be a good thing."
"We will talk about that later," I looked back to the boys, "For now, we shall discuss your punishment. You're lucky Princess Aj is indisposed, otherwise, I think she might of had the ponies of that mare's family beat the shit outta you. Hey!" I leaned forward, "That's a good idea. They beat the shit outta you and you then go to jail."
The other Princesses agreed with me, "Then it's settled. Tomorrow, there will be an audience and the sentence will be carried out."
"Decision made!" AB hit the table with the gavel a few times and the guards took them away. The teens pleaded for us to change our minds, but we just waved them goodbye and their pleads were buffeted by the closing of the doors behind them.
-Aj-
I woke up and it was morning. I felt like crap as usual. The nurse came by and cleaned my wound and my bandages. I didn't even bother asking how long I was out for because its like my body goes into a weird sleep mode and I'm out for days. Hinoto and a few guards came in and Hinoto helped me to my feet.
"It's good to see that you're okay," Hinoto smiled.
"Yeah, just want to move around and do stuff ya know. Have they been keeping my garden nice and fresh?"
"Of course. We all know that your garden is your pride and joy," the brown Mongoose nudged me playfully.
I kept quiet for a few moments as we walked toward the exit of the hospital wing. He got the message that I wanted to talk to him about something personal and he dismissed the guards, "What's wrong?"
"I can't believe that my daughter is pregnant is all," I told him, "It was like only yesterday I was teaching her how to walk. Potty training her and such."
"Kids grow up," he pointed out, "Jack can't stay your little girl forever."
"I wish she could," I leaned into Hinoto and he wrapped his arm around me. His warm fur smelled of lavender and fruit. It always seemed to calm me down for some reason.
"That would be lovely for all parents I think. But Jack is Princess now and she wants to grow up. Don't let your desire for otherwise stop her."
"I don't wanna," I nuzzled my head into his chest.
He stroked my hair lovingly and scratched my ears. His nails felt good scratching my ears and purred and hummed in delight, "That's too bad Princess," he's been like the big brother I've always wanted. Big Mac is an amazing big brother and all, but Hinoto seems to understand me at a deeper and different level, "You must be hungry. Do you wanna go get something to eat?"
"I want something sweet to eat."
"Princess Aj," I lifted my head off my furry pillow to look at a human with a small stack of papers at hand. He bowed and handed me the papers, "We found them," he looked to Hinoto then back at me.
"That's good," I said happily.
"We had to convince them that everything will be at their disposal when they arrive. It's been a year, but we found them."
"Found who?" Hinoto asked.
I looked at him, "Come with me," I held his hand and pulled. I was still weak and still in pain, so my walk was slow, but determined, "Where are they Ryder?"
"They're at the pub. When I mentioned it, they seemed more interested in coming here," Ryder smiled.
"Who did you guys find?" Hinoto asked. I kept my mouth shut as we walked all the way down to the basement of the castle. The castle is a pub for all servants of the castle. I gave it to them as a gift for serving me so well. When I went in, their voices went quiet and they all looked to me.
"Don't worry, you're all off duty," I told them. They kept quiet, "If you don't get back to drinkin' and gamblin' you're all fired!" I shouted and they got back to the drinkin' and the gamblin'.
"Right this way Princess," Ryder followed me to the row of barstools, "Where are they?" Ryder asked the Dwarf.
"In the back and get them out of ma pub quickly. They're gettin' too rowdy for me."
Ryder went behind the bar counter and we went along with him. The opened door revealed five mongoose around a table drinking and a another smaller mongoose sitting in a corner with its tail wrapped around its feet, "Aj, what is this?"
I hugged his arm, "For a year, I've had scouts looking for more of your kind and I found them."
The mongooses stopped their merriment to look at my head of the guards. They all stood, aside from the one in the corner, and I noticed that they were all smaller then her was. Their fur wasn't as long as Hinoto's and their snouts were shorter as well, "I'd be dammed," the male spoke in an old raspy voice, "Never again did I expect to see an alpha mongoose in our midst," the mongoose placed their fist flat over their hearts and bowed their heads.
"Who are you?" Hinoto asked.
"We are the last mongoose here alive. I am Figgle and this is my mate Natu," the old mongoose wrapped his arm around the grey female, "These are our three boys, Allighorn, Belcaxt, and Cillioar. The one in the corner is our daughter, Zalliphia. She's had an accident when she was younger and had been quiet ever since."
Zalliphia crawled on all fours up to Hinoto and sniffed him. The mongooses gasped and took a slow few steps back. I moved away and saw that she was missing an eye and half her ear seemed bitten off. Zilliphia snorted and took a few steps back, "She has never taken liking to anyone before," Natu informed, "You must be something special for her to do that."
"D-d-daddy," she called to her father and slowly walked up to him and everyone gasped again, "Mongoose," she spoke with much stress and strain and a stutter.
"What is it baby?" Ziggle slowly lowered herself to her.
Zilliphia began rubbing herself against Hinoto's legs like a cat would a human, "What's going on?" I finally spoke up.
"Who are you? What are you?" Ziggle spat at me.
"I am Princess Aj and I am a human."
"You're a Princess?" Natu asked and I nodded, "Princess of what?"
"The whole world," I shrugged.
"You don't look like much," she looked me up and down, "You have no fur and your ears don't seem to match your body. Also, the fur you do have is all too long," Natu walked behind me and ran her hands down my hair that stretched down to my knees in one long and large braid. She also tugged on my tail and I yelped and smacked he hand away. My tail almost reached the floor and would have if I didn't keep that braided as well, "You have too much hair," she told me.
"That's because I've been too busy to do anything about it," I snapped at her.
"Are all human such slobs?" she looked at me with those pale yellow eyes.
"Are all mongoose such degenerate assholes?" I crossed my arms.
"Do you human have any respect for yourselves?"
"Do you know what it is like to run a whole kingdom and not get to see much of your family or your friends. Last time I saw my daughter was on her birthday and I didn't even get to celebrate that because of some assholes," I began talking very fast, "They decided to ride in and challenge me for world dominion so I took the bait and I won. But at the cost of this," I pointed at the bandages wrapped around my midsection, "One of that asshole's friends shot me with and acid blast and I was taken under for a little while."
"Aj," I felt Hinoto's large hands place themselves on my shoulders, "Lets just get you outta here."
"No, let her stay!" Natu crossed her arms, "She thinks she's better than me."
"I am fuckin' better than you!"
"On what grounds."
"For one, I own a pub! What did you have? Nothing! I have a pub in the basement of a fucking castle! That already makes me better than you!"
"Fuck you Apple Tart!"
"That's it! I'll Fucking Kill You!" Hinoto grabbed my waist with an arm and pulled me back, "I Will Fucking Kill You!"
"C'mon then!" Natu was being pulled away by her sons, "I don't mind kickin' royal arse!"
"Lemme go Hinoto!" I struggled.
"No Princess! You need to just calm down," his forearm rested on my wounds and I went limp to try and lessen the pain. He grabbed the back of my neck and I brought my knees to my belly and hugged them as he lifted me. He rested me on his back when I opened up my limbs and clasped onto his body, "C'mon Applejack," he reached back to scratch behind my ear.
"Applejack?" Natu stopped fighting and looked at me, "I know that name."
"Yeah?" I scowled at her.
"I heard about you defeating the gods."
"Is that all people talk about?" I scoffed.
"It's a big deal," Natu cleared her throat and pushed her rustled fur back down, "I think we got off on the wrong foot Princess."
I hugged Hinoto's hips tighter and pushed myself up a little to point at her over his broad shoulder, "No shit girlie!"
"I think it'll be best if we just go to the castle," Hinoto suggested.
I smacked him across the back of the head, "Stay out of this mongoose!" Natu and I told him at the same time.
"Ya know what? We are leaving. C'mon guys," he stepped aside and beckoned them to leave. The mongooses filed out and the little female mongoose was the last to leave.
Zilliphia stood on her back two feet and revealed a dark green breast band and dark brown shorts. She smiled at Hinoto and blushed a little before leaving, "I think she likes you," I whispered in his ear.
He slapped my nose with his ear before following the other mongooses out.
-Dashal-
"I need a drink," AB stated and she went over to the liquor cabinet, "You want one?"
"Nah, I'm good," I dropped onto the bed and groaned, "I am so fucking tired!" I groaned into my palms, "I don't know how Aj can physically take it."
"She has her ways. Maybe you should ask her when she wakes up," I heard AB pull out a bottle and set it down onto the cabinet.
"Sometimes, I think that she has things planned out."
"What do you mean?" AB sat on the bed with a small glass full of a brown transparent drink.
"I just feel as though she has something big planned is all."
"Like what?"
"I don't know, but what I do know is that whatever is coming is going to be big," I sat up to look at her.
"I don't follow?"
"She's smarter than one thinks. Like chess for example. The way she plays is like she lines up a defense and jus when I think I'm going to win. BAM!" I smacked my hand together, "She picks me apart and utterly destroys me. Right now, she's amounting a defense to deliver a deathly strike. I feel as though she's planning something that involves me and a gambit of some sort."
"What are you getting at?"
"She's going to kill herself in order to prevent a greater loss," I felt fear and sadness enter my heart, "I don't know what to do in order to prevent this. It's like I'm just defenseless against her. All of us are brilliant people, but still not as smart as her. She is methodical beyond belief. She spends her time, all of her time, thinking. Always thinking. Even when we make love or she's sleeping, she thinks."
"Okay, we know what she's planning, how do we counteract that plan?" AB asked and took another sip of her drink.
"It doesn't matter what we do, she will have a plan to counteract that plan. She has everything. Being smart, having power, and just plain pretty."
"I hope her wife doesn't hear you talking about her like this. She might get upset."
"I'm being serious Applebloom," I told her, "She has everything and I don't."
"What does she have that you don't?" AB scooted back onto the bed and crossed her legs.
I stuck out my hands and imagined I was groping breasts, "Big breasts... just big breastesses," I exhaled slowly.
"C'mon, there has to be something actual Rainbow Dash," the redhead nudged me.
"I wish I could plan things out like she can. I've seen her predictions come to life before. She can just plan things throughout without when trying."
"Maybe you should just let her plan work. If she thinks or knows that laying down her life will be the cost for something amazing; just let it go. Cherish the time you have with her now before its too late."
I sighed heavily, "She's not even gone yet and I feel as though I'm already alone," I pulled out a picture from my pocket. The picture was of me, Aj, Pinkie, Rarity, Twilight, and Flutters. The picture captured a brief moment in time when things were much simpler. It was over thirty-five years ago. Before the plague and before everything turned to utter shit.
"That's an old picture," AB scooted closer to me to look at the picture.
"I've had it for a long time. I look at it every now and again to remind me of the life I once had."
"Do you regret leaving it?"
"I regret leaving it as just a feint memory," I began to tear up, "I wish I had those times again."
"Do you regret marrying Aj?" the question caught me off guard and I kept quiet, "Do you?"
"I love her," I told her and a tear fell on the picture.
"That's not what I asked."
"I regret nothing," I lied, "I loved her and I married her. I still love her and almost twenty one years later, I still love her and more than ever."
-Hinoto-
I stood in a pool hall with the other mongooses. They looked at me and I them. Aj was sitting on a pool table swirling two balls in her hand, "So why did you send for us Princess Aj?" Figgle asked.
"Hinoto was lonely and I heard murmurs of mongoose in the southern islands of the Fallen Ruins," Aj answered, "So I sent some people looking for you. I figured that they'd find you."
"But why bring us here instead of sending Hinoto to us."
"You're a dying breed and I want to not allow your race to die. Hinoto is my best friend and I'm not going to allow my best friend to be alone."
"That still doesn't answer my question," Ziggle crossed his arms.
"I want to all of you into protective custody to be able to thrive and allow your descendants to flourish."
"I don't think my kids believe in incest," Ziggle grew angry.
"That's not what I'm talkin about," Aj stated, "I can have surrogates lined up to bear mongoose children."
"That goes against all that we stand for."
"The waste away," Aj looked to me, "Have them sent back to the Ruins. Sorry to have wasted your time Ziggle."
"Yes Princess," I bowed a little and felt like this was all for nothing.
"Me stay," Zilliphia uttered, "Me no go back."
"Zilliphia, no. You're not staying here."
"Yes me is," the female mongoose walked over to me and hugged my arm, "I like him."
My body went rigid. I've never had anyone outside of Aj, AB, and Dashal like me. I didn't know what to do and Aj saw this, "Zilliphia I think you should listen to your parents."
"They no parents to me," she scowled.
"Watch your attitude little missy!" Aj hissed back, "There is only one attitude allowed in my house, and that's mine. It also doesn't matter how big you think your attitude is, mine will always be bigger."
"What your problem?"
"You are. Now get the fuck outta my house or I will charge you with trespassing. The sentence for trespassing on royal grounds is always death."
I gasped because it wasn't true, "Aj. Just let her stay."
"They, what ever they are, want her to leave with them. So let them take her," Aj turned evil for some reason, "Rodent scum like them don't belong in my kingdom," her voice went low as her skin turned red, "Or in my world. Mongoose everywhere have died, so prepare to join them," her skin began to darken as she grew, "Prepare to die."
"AJ!" I yelled and her body went back to normal.
"I gotta go," she looked around like she had seen something she shouldn't have, "Zilliphia stays here along with everyone else. Leave, and your voyage back home will be funded by yourselves. Excuse me," she pushed me aside and headed for the door.
I grabbed her arm and pulled her back around, "What's going on with you?"
"Classified," she coldly stated.
"I'm head of the guards. Nothing is classified for me."
"Let go of me mongoose," she snatched her hand back, "Get back to work or I might have to find someone else to do your job for you," she looked back at my kind, "Get them settled somewhere."
I saw flecks of red in her green eyes. Her pupils were small and almost closed. Her ears were splayed flat across her head, "Aj?"
"Listen here rodent reject, I am your superior and not the other way around. You have your orders."
"Yes Princess," she insulted me. Something that she never has done. My feelings were very much hurt and I just wanted to cry, "Right away Princess."
"Get it done Hinoto," she walked away and slammed the door behind her.
"Does she normally act like that?" Natu asked.
"No. Which is weird. She doesn't say mean shit to me like that."
-Jack-
...three months later...
My pregnancy began taking its affect on my body. My belly became bigger and I became more emotional. Excepted from being pregnant. Kirion is being the nicest boyfriend by making sure that I'm happy. I wish I was duly happy. I haven't seen my mom Aj in almost two months. Everypony says that she's gotten more angry and aggressive the times they do see her. No one has seen her. Even mama Dashal.
Hinoto says that she insulted him three months ago and acted as though something was taking over her mind. Last time I saw her, she told called me a pony reject. It hurt, but I knew she wasn't in he right mind. So I got together with Hinoto, AB, and mama Dashal.
Mama Dashal filled us all in on her theory from three months ago and now has a new sub-theory, "She's trying to alienate everyone for some reason now... and I don't know why. She called me a disease-riddled whore."
"She called me a rodent," Hinoto growled with his arms crossed as he leaned against my dresser.
"She called me a redheaded demon," AB gritted her teeth, "And told me that the reason why our mother left me alone as a baby was because she never really wanted me."
"She has to be found and asked what the hell is going on," I told them.
"Good luck in finding her," Hinoto chuckled, "No one has spotted her in the past two weeks and yet, yet she still runs her kingdom. Ponies and AB have received signed documents from her."
"Something is going," Dashal started, "And we all are just dumbass pawns in her sick fucking game."
"She-!"
The door to my room rushed open and Aj was standing there. Cuts, bruises, covered her body, and blood matted her hair and tail. Her jumpsuit was missing both arms and half of its abdomen. Where her wounds were, open gashes of cloth laid over them, "Hinoto," she said weakly and in pain, "I want you to gather all the humans and send them back into the colony. AB, when he does, perform roll call. Dashal, send a message to all species around the world. Tell them that they have their countries back. I am no longer in control. They'll get over it."
She faltered a little and caught herself on the door frame, "Mom!" I shouted and Dashal moved fast and caught Aj before she fell again.
"Where have you been?" Dashal asked.
"Dashal, I gave you an order. Do it. Now!"
"We aren't doing anything until you tell us what is going on," she fought.
"Then you are relieved of command over International Relations," Aj panted and stood back up, "I'll do it my fucking self."
"Wait," Aj shoved her wife away from her.
"Don't fucking touch me Cloudsdale scum!" she hissed.
"Applejack!" AB shouted at her, "What is your deal?"
"Oh shut up!"
"Don't tell me what to do!"
"I can do whatever I want! I'm a Princess! You're just lucky to be alive! I didn't have to take you in when you were a baby! Probably shouldn't have! I wish I never had a sister. Or any of you bastard children!" she faltered like she was drunk, "All there is is me and that's all that matters. I don't need anyone anymore!" she laughed evilly.
We all looked at each other and came to the conclusion that she has officially lost her mind, "Hinoto is the last of a mindless brutish and incompetent breed. Applebloom is just someone who wants acceptance because she's too stupid to have confidence for herself. Dashal, I just took pity on you. I never loved you or anything about you. Well," she shrugged, "I did love making love to you. That was fun."
Dashal sat on the bed, "I feel so used," Dashal held herself.
"Okay, mom," I told Aj, "That's enough."
"You! You got pregnant before marriage. You're a dumbass and you're going to have a fucked up kid. Oh boy is that child going to an ugly baby. Now, if there is nothing else you losers need, I'll be burning villages and raping women and then kill their offspring in from of their weepy little eyes," she turned around and I saw that there was something off. The back of her ears were riddled with black dots.
"She's not the real Aj!" I shouted, "Get her!"
-Aj-
I sat in a dungeon that was very nice and didn't feel like a dungeon at all. I sat in front of a mirror with a woman behind me cutting my hair. For the last few months, she's kept it at chin length. She had cut my tail all the way down to only a few inches.
"I can't believe that you surrendered," she told me, "You couldn't have fought someone?"
"This is for my people lady," she set down the scissors and picked up a comb.
"Why do you care about those animals?" we ran the comb through my hair slowly.
"I just care. And the humans that came have greed in their hearts. I thought I could trust my family."
"It's in our human nature," she said and finished combing my hair.
"Not in mine," I told her, "Power is something that I earned, not demanded."
"Who do you fight for?"
"I fight for the balance of my kingdom. If that means killing my own, so be it."
"What makes you so certain that you're going to do anything?"
"I have all of this planned out," I smirked at her through the mirror, "Everything is going to plan."
She got scared, "We have weaponry that will kill most of the species here and we will site our dominion over the entire globe."
"And that will be your downfall."
"Why so confident?"
"I have a mongoose and by now, I have seven."
"Yeah, like they're going to do something," she chuckled.
"Tell Apple Green that I will have his head soon enough."
I stood up and sat down at the table when a chef came in with a steak and some other food items. The girl stood next to me, "What makes you think that Apple Green has anything to do with all of this?"
"This wouldn't be the first time I've been threatened for my life by a relative," I picked up some silverware and began eating.
"I know and I'm sorry. I would help you, but they haven't sister and threatened to kill her if I don't do as they say."
"Listen here Dawn," I set my knife and fork back down and wiped my mouth, "You help me get my kingdom back and I promise to save your sister from death."
"No, I can't do that. I was told to decline all offers that you will make," she shook her head.
"Fine then. Let lives be lost because of human greed. Since you won't help me. You my dear will suffer, more than anyone."
"If that means my sister will live, so be it," she said firmly.
"Since you won't help me, your sister is already dead," I told her and she tensed up, "They're going to kill your sister even if you do exactly what they tell you to do. But she will live if you can help me."
She walked toward the cage door, "I'll be back tomorrow to check up on you."
"I do this for all those who wish to side with me," I explained as she walked down the hallway, "I know how it is to have the one you love be used as collateral."
-Dashal-
The Aj imposter sat in my room with her hands tied behind her back and her arms wrapped around a chair. I enjoyed allowing my fists to cross her face for a few minutes. Hinoto pulled me back a little, "Where is Aj?" he asked.
"I hope you like the taste of balls," the blonde looked at him, "I'm gonna cut yours off and shove them in your mouth."
Hinoto punched her for me, "Where is Aj you worthless sac o' shit!" Hinoto punched her in her head again.
"Aj is coming," she smirked evilly, "She will be the sacrifice. The sacrifice to prove to everyone that we humans are the only species here that shall be in charge."
"I can't believe the Apples are going to kill their own kin," Hinoto growled.
"Wait, she is?" the Aj imposter's form bubbled and seeped away. The next face revealed someone with green eyes and looked like a younger version of Aj. The girl looked around at us, "Someone told me that Aj was a tyrant that needed to be killed."
"Well, they lied. Aj is the opposite," I smiled, "She always puts her people before herself. She always asks the people first before she does something or adds something new to the country."
"Who is she again?"
"Applejack," Hinoto answered, "What's it to ya?"
"Okay, I know where she is," she girl's demeanor completely changed, "I will tell you, but you have to promise me something. You have to promise that when you get there, you save my sister."
-Aj-
Two guards came in with sad faces on, "We are sorry Princess, but we have to do this," they stepped closer and locked a metal collar around my neck with notches all around it. I stood so they could place chains on my hands and feet, "We are hear to help," he brunette said in a low voice, "We are going to help you get your kingdom back from Thanatos."
"Why is he trying to take over the kingdom?" I asked them as they began walking out. I follows and the sounds of chains echoed throughout the cave walls.
"Because he thinks that you're just here to suppress the human race into extinction," the one on my left answered.
"Why would he think that?"
"Because you plan on spreading us out too thin across the world."
"That's Princess Dashal and she knows that humans can repopulate very quickly over about two generations. So she knows the humans will never die out. I allowed it because I thought we humans wanted to live all over the world. Where is Thanatos? Is he at the castle yet?"
"He's at the castle, but how do you know that?"
"My plan was to infiltrate and gain knowledge as he tries to fuck things up in my kingdom. When he figures out that he can't, he will wage a war against it. Which is why Griffins and Elves are on their way now. They shall be here on the afternoon of morrow."
"How do you have all of this planned out?"
"After the rape of a pony, I knew that the ponies would grow restless and commit mutiny soon. So I eased their pain a little until I could get my plan up and running. Soon, the humans and ponies began killing each other. Morrow is the day that all hell will break loose. Ponies will be against humans. Elves and Griffins will only help keep the balance. Kelsar, my Elven friend, knows which humans to save and which humans to kill. She will inform the elves and Griffins of whom."
"What about us?"
"I know every human that is on this planet. I know their name and which ones I know aren't bad people."
"How is all this possible?"
"Because this plan I have concocted when the humans first arrived here. My plan was already thought out thoroughly before any of it was set in motion."
"When did you know when to start it?"
"When the humans cast the first stone. It was only a matter of time," we made it to the entrance of the cave. There were two sections of humans on either side. Five rows of a hundred humans each. Apple Green was standing at the mouth of the cave, "Princess Applejack," he bowed, "Thank you for coming. You thought that you were so powerful. Now look at you. You're in chains and you look so pitiful," he laughed with a few other men.
"I know, I fucked up and now, now I'm going to pay the price," I lied to him, "What now?"
"Now, we shall take claim of Equestria. You will lead us up to the castle and have your men stand down and to surrender everything."
"Then promise me that you will let go of the people that were on the list?"
"Yes all except your wife. I think she'll make a better wife for me."
"Yes Apple Green. You can have her," out the corner of my eye, I saw the brown haired teen look at me with much shock and anger, "Just allow me to say good bye okay?"
"Of course," he bowed and began walking.
-Hinoto-
"Me and the other mongoose will break into the cavern to rescue Aj along with Celestia," I told everyone.
"Why so few?" Luna asked me.
"Aj had a plan and we need to be as silent as possible."
"Why not bring me along instead of my sister?" Luna shrugged, "I am the princess of the night."
"Right, right," I nodded a few times, "Okay, Celestia. You stay back to provide a defense of magic until we get back. The imposter said that they're moving our today. There's no way they're dumb enough to take Aj with them.
"How do we know that?" AB asked, "If this is all her plan. She would be here when shit gets real. I think she wants them to bring her here. I know my sister and I believe that she's going to be here today and tell us what we need to do."
"It is true," Kelsar said as she pulled out a long glowing white rectangle, "In here are all the names of the people and ponies that she wants saved. She told me to wait until the Griffins and Elves got here to tell you this. But she's wrong. You too need to know these names."
"If she told you to wait, then wait," Dashal spat, "I don't want to do anything contradictory to what Aj wants. She hasn't told us to do anything outside of Kelsar and I think we should wait for her command."
"She's not here and we have to do something," AB spat back.
"If any of you leave those castle before Aj gets here, you shall be punished for treason and hanged for your crime."
"You wouldn't do that!" Celestia spat.
"Yes I would. I love Aj just as much as any of you!" she yelled and slammed her fists on the table she leaned on, "I will not jeopardize her life because you all think that following orders of your own accord is a more logical option!"
"Why are you so stuck on doing nothing?" I asked.
"Doing nothing is doing something. We are waiting her command."
"Princess Dashal!" Derpy came charging in panting.
"What Is It now?" she yelled at the grey pony.
"I have a letter from Aj!" she pulled out an old folded piece of parchment from her messenger bag and handed it to Dashal.
"How do you know it's from her?" Dashal asked as she unfolded the parchment.
"Because I know her hand writing Dashal," she tried to get her breathing under control.
Dashal read it aloud, "If you are getting this, then that means the war has already started and I am held captive in a cave. This letter I had already written a year prior to you getting this Dashal. At this point in time, I want you to do nothing. You will do nothing and that is an order. You will try to be married to Apple Green. All I ask of you is that you just go along with it. Before Apple Green marries you, I will have already escaped and on my way. When you see me, the being before you is just a clone. I am alive and well and I am closer than you think. Don't look for me. I love you Dashal. I know Celestia, Luna, Hinoto, AB, Rainbow Dash, Teal, Twilight, Jack, and my mom are there with you. Take a good long gander a their faces. What I am telling you to do is what you've been telling them. When we see each other, tell me their faces. I would love the description. Love always and forever more, Aj. PS, have Pinkie set up a wedding for Jack and Kirion."
"You see," Dashal folded the parchment back up, "What did I fell you, huh?" Dashal smiled.
"Okay, okay," I smiled back at her, "You proved your point. But the next question is, what do we do now?"
"We wait," she sat down and her arrogance wafted through the air, "It's all okay," she cheesed so hard that I thought her lips were going to part at the sides.
