In a Equestria where Harmony should be a Duty and a the same time a Blessing, this balance was horribly tinted in blood and was eventualy twisted into something sinister and paranoid.
.
The Murder of Rainbow Dash by the hooves of a insane Pinkie Pie has deprived Equestria of one of the Six Elements of Harmony, destroying their possibility to be used in case of need.
.
Pinkie Pie was eventually arrested for her heinous crime, and yet most ponies were still questioning what made her so insane to torture and kill so many victims.
.
Applejack and Twilight Sparkle were literally destroyed by that tragedy.
.
What follows was the investigation conducted by two pegasi Royal Guards: Wedge and Biggs.
.
Through that, they discovered that Pinkie comited her crimes by choosing a victim at random basing on a lottery, which they discover to be rigged, angering the arrested pink mare even more for the cheating act.
.
They suspected Fluttershy at first since she wasn't nowhere to be found only to find her dead in a morgue. Their final destination was the Carousel Boutique since Rarity was involved in the tragedy as well.
.
It turns out that Rarity rigged the lottery and directed the lottery from behind the strings.
.
Wedge and Biggs fought her, but not before Wedge managed to throw a dictaphone to a female mailpony and sending it to Canterlot. In the aftermath only Wedge survived the fight as Biggs was killed and Rarity was slowly dying with her blood gushing from her shattered horn
.
Wedge managed to find a evidence connected to the case which, much to his shock, was connected to Celestia. This until he loosed consciousness and was taken to Canterlot Castle by Celestia herself who revealed the awful truth.
.
Celestia orchestrated the murderers commited by Pinkie Pie in order to take their remains and create the Homuncoli, who could both replace the victims as well as provide horsepower for farming in order to prevent a future catastrophe caused by overpopulation and food shortage. She has also killed her sister Luna and another pegasi Royal Guard, Aquilinus, who had both found out about her practice.
.
After Celestia displayed her newfound insanity, Wedged asked her to stop this madness, in vain.
.
Celestia was going to silence him until she was saved by Applebloom, only for her to do it in her place.
.
This is how it happened.
.
And is really disturbing, especially for the insanity of the culprits. Celestia in particular was going to build a depopulation center on the moon. But that was just the start of her project
.
Some days later, Celestia was going to do the same thing on the other creatures, such as Hydras or event Sea Breezes for some ecological reason, unknown to rest of a Equestria with almost the majority of the Ponies replaced with the said Homuncoli: Each one with the same appearence and memories of their deceased former selves.
.
But there are some things that are completely wrong than just the behavior of these pseudo Ponies.
.
For Ages Celestia, Luna and even her enemies themeselves, such as Sombra or Chrysalis, had never ever experimented the magic that has the destructive quality to alter the holy equilibrium between Life and Death, which abuse is so abhorrent even for Black Magic user standarts.
.
She knows that, and yet she crosses a line that even Discord hasn't even the arrongance to cross.
.
So why the most powerfull of the good ones does that now?
.
Because the question is... its really what excatly looks?
.
Has Celestia really become a threat to the word she swore to protect, riding the command of an army of
undead Ponies?
.
.
If it is the case, are these actual thing right?
.
.
Of course not, because that is just the tip of the iceberg. The bottom of this iceberg is a really disgusting one that is not even surfaced yet, and is even more horryfying than somepony could even imagine.
.
Between the Pinkie Pie's murder spree death and the present events, various creature resembling ponies wandered across Equestria unnoticed and killed other ponies and living creatures as well.
.
Obviously they were supposed to be the Homuncoli, but seemed to have somekind of free will, which was really off.
.
.
It seems like that Celestia sent them to do their job since Pinkie wasn't enough. But she mentioned to Wedge that they weren't supposed to have free will. She doesn't mind them since they were loyal to her project.
.
However Celestia's insanity was too much convoluted to be considered as such.
.
Unknown to her, some ponies who know what happened were talking in a secret place. They are intentioned to put a end to this insanity.
.
But in order to do so, they came up with an infamous idea...
They were in a dark room. Two stallions and a mare were talking to each other in the middle of it's darkness.
The only thing that barely illuminates is a gloving crystal prism in the middle of the room. They talked as there is not time to waste.
.
They know why they are here.
.
"It's a miracle that we managed to escape this insanity along with our other comrades." said the mare with a serious voice.
.
"I can say that... I cannot believe tha Celestia would even do a crime like this." said the first stallion.
"Hey. We didn't start to talk yet that you jumped to the conclusions." said the second stallion.
.
"Sorry..."
.
"It's pretty understandable of you feel. But i have to tell you one detail that we know very well." said the mare.
.
"What do you mean?"
.
"Let me sum up one thing." she began. "Pinkie Pie's murder spree was orchstrated by Celestia in order to take their remains in order to use them to create Homuncoli, creatures who could replace her victims in order to resolve the problem of the food shortage. We know that this is just a excuse."
.
"Not to mention Celestia decided also to build a depopulation center on the moon." said the second.
.
"Seriously!?" said the first in disbelieve.
.
"..."
.
"And Princess Luna allowed this!?"
.
"No, Luna found out about this practice, so Celestia killed her." she said with a grim tone.
.
"...Oh my gosh. ...Why?" said horryfied the first.
.
"I know." said the second. "That is a real shock."
.
"Wait! How can you be THIS CALM!?" screamed the first.
.
"Celestia, for how much she was responsable of, is not just a culprit... but a victim as well." she said
.
"A.. victim you said?" said confused the first.
.
"You are free to not believe that."
.
"Explain yourself please, because you are going to give me a headache!"
.
"We can say that Princess Celestia has gone insane and has done what she has done... She, however, is actually taking instruction from another one... the other threat to Equestria."
.
"What threat?"
"Celestia affirmed that Pinkie Pie could also remade the ponies into Homuncoli, but that isn't correct. This other culprit is the real Alchemist behind the creation of the Homuncoli. But these ones weren't Homuncoli. These ones actually something more twisted with a even twisted personality and free will. You saw of your former colleagues and subordinates were turned into."
.
"..." the first sighed in dismay. "Poor brave guard ponies... I couldn't save them in time."
.
"We have not time for remorse." she said.
.
.
"Wait, what do you mean with they weren't Homuncoli?"
.
.
"They were called with another name. They are Enhanced Wraiths. Creatures created through Necro-alchemy, utterly loyal to their master."
.
.
"NECRO-ALCHEMY!?... Isn't that declared taboo!?"
.
.
"Yeah." confirmed the second. "Something that violates the balance between Life and Death. But we have to time to talk about it, especially since we are not enough to put a hold to the culprits' plan. Celestia herself will became death to us as soon we start our opposition. We need something to stop them."
.
.
"And the Elements of Harmony are now comprimised..." said mortified the first.
.
.
"They cannot be used anymore." she said. "We have to to rely to something different. And i know exactly what... But you will not like that a bit."
.
.
"How worst could possibly be?" asked the first.
.
.
"Which is why we have to resort to this." she said.
.
.
"Resort to what?" said the second."Oh, cmo'n! We don't have much possibility! The Elements of Harmony are now useless, Twilight is crippled, Luna is dead, Cadance is not powerful enough and the entire Equestria is not only at her mercy, but at that of her collaborator as well!"
.
.
"Ask to her. She knows what i'm refering to."
.
.
"Cmo'n! We have no time for mysteries! Who could possibily oppose a insane and still powerful Celestia!?"
.
.
"I'm talking about forth these six earth ponies." she said "These ones have particular powers and abilities. I have a copy of their files in this table. Let's face it. Since we alone are not enough, we need their powers."
.
.
"... Are you joking?" said the first.
.
.
"Even i was skeptic, but, in this case, we don't have any alternative." said the second.
.
.
"Are those ponies... some kind of... legendary heroes?"
.
.
"Not at all." she said.
.
.
"... What?"
.
.
"..."
.
.
"What are you trying to say?"
.
.
"Their powers and abilities are remarkable, so they will give us some chances... But the ponies themselves have nothing good about. They have some very brutal and crude history behind them. Almost nopony know that they did exist. Their criminal records were astounding and disturbing at their worst. But for how much we loath them, we have no choice but convince them or force them to help us."
.
.
"You cannot be serious... You cannot possibly-"
.
.
"We have to call forth the worst of the worst."
.
.
"You better believe that." said the second. "We gathered all the informations about them, so we knew where to find them. They are actually across Equestria."
.
.
"*groan* And i thought that Celestia alone wasn't enough." said the first. "ARE YOU NUTS!?"
.
.
"..."
.
.
"And they were across Equestria you said... Who are those ponies?"
.
.
"Allow me to introduce these six ponies in the most synthetized way possible. Some of their details will be enough. But keep in mind, i will not use their real names for valid reasons." she said.
.
.
"... You can start." said hesitant the first.
.
.
"First we have Psycho Slash, a former female Royal Guard who tried and almost managed to kill Princess Luna. Infact her crime is attermpted Deicide. This mare is able to manifest psionic energy at her will in any form she want. That failed attempt resulted her to be imprisoned not by Celestia, but by a ancient order that knows all about her powers. These came from a relic that Slash accidentaly took away from their soil and so the have to detain her in order to prevent the existence of her psionic powers being exposed to the public."
.
.
"The we have Ark Devil. Let me explain something happened before the return of Nightmare Moon. Some Changelings were seen wandering around without Chrysalis despite their seal being not expired yet, which is really strange. What has to do with this guy? He hunted down those Changelings and almost commited a genocide. He has developed his own style of martial arts. Ark has also developed a powder that allowed him to unmask the changelings and builded a horryfying armor that he used as a weapon to fight them. His bloodlust and cruelty are unrivaled."
.
.
"The next one is Nemesis. This one is a Enhanced Wraith with the ability to control, materialize and transform a powerful metallic molecules made of Belgentium into weapons along with the iron of her own blood. The Belgentium molecules themselves are now well integrated in her bloodstream. Yes, she is a creature created through Necro-alchemy and should be loyal to her master. However, one day, she dissapeared and deserted her master and undead companions. Her wherebouts are currently unknown."
.
.
"The fourth one is Ego Nephilim. This mare earth pony had the luck to became Celestia's occasional councilor and good friend. But after one night, in which she was introduced to Luna, she dissapeared from the face of Equestria. Nopony hasn't saw her ever again... Until now. Nephilim is currently a auto proclamed crusader, serving a ungodly entity, and is armed with a weapon made of the most powerful and destructive metal alloy ever existed in Equestria. She used it to kill some of the Enhanced Wraiths while dealing with some occasional scumbags as well."
.
.
"The fifth one is a very dangerous one with the name of Grave Empress. Despite her being a earth pony, she is a Necromancer. This one in particular killed various ponies and living creatures and resurrected them into summoned zombies, dubbed as Ghouls, in order to increase her undead army. Her goal is, guess what, world domination. She is, however, currently incapacitated by somepony. Fortunately, she wouldn't present a threat... for now."
.
.
"Who is the last one?" asked the first one.
.
.
"The last one..." she continued. "Is a particular earth pony known as Antiblue. She is actually a delinquent. A mare who doesn't play by the rules. But that is not the point. She possess a inequestrian strengh and dexterity and has a great knowledge regarding almost everything, including magic despite not being able to use it. She is also a expert in craftequinship, which allowed to create some magical artifacts. She may not be a pegasus, a unicorn, a gryphon or even a dragon, but she knows how to deal with them. In her past, Antiblue picked some fights in which she emerged always victorious. Her wherebouts are currently unknown. I don't think you want to know about her weapon."
.
.
"I don't know and i don't want to!" retorted bluntly the first.
.
.
"I know how you feel... But i cannot be done otherwise." said the second.รน
.
.
"You are wrong!... Did you have even idea of what did you said!?... I know that the Elements of Harmony are now useless, that Twilight cannot do nothing on her own even if she wants and that the world is in danger but... You are putting the fate of Equestria in the hooves of renegades, murderers, monsters and delinquents!"
.
.
"They are the necessary evil. The lesser one against something this awful and deviant."
.
.
"... I'ts unbelievable."
.
.
"We don't have any other alternatives, and my powers and our group of former Royal Guards weren't alone will not be enough for that task."
.
.
"And how do you think to convince them after you tracked them down?"
.
.
"Forcing ponies to act against their desires is what i will be forced to do in situation like this. But the most hardest part is the grim duty to save Equestria from the once benevolent ruler of this world she once swore to protect. However, let me tell you one thing about her. We know why she became insane and who this Alchemist actually is. You better to acknowledge what are going into."
