Chapter 1
“Hey get up, I see your awake.” I hear a voice say. I open my eyes and see a shadowy figure standing above me. “I saw you past out on the ground are you ok?” he asked.
“yeaaaa” I answer in pain as my eyes focus on a orange Pegasi with a blue and black mane.
“You've been out a while now I came across you knocked out, so I moved you into a building that hasn't been destroyed yet.” I sit up and feel a sharp pain from my hip. “whoa whoa hold it you had a pole fall on your hip I would take it easy.” I listen to him and sit up carefully. I noticed that I was placed on a rusted metal table. There were 2 more tables around so I assumed that we were in a restaurant. As I sat up I noticed that there was a bandage around my left foreleg. I tried to walk forward and am forced to a limp because of my hip. “do u remember what happen to you?”
“huh?” I say completely forgetting he was standing there. “n-no. Well, I sort of do. Its all just a blur.” I lied. I remember I was running from something and a green light and boom. I'm out on the ground.
“ well. We need to leave this place Changelings have been all over Ponyville for the past few days.”
“o-ok.” I say not worrying about anything. All I wanted to do was leave this place. As we walked outside I was blinded by the moon covering the sun. an eclipse. and my nose was filled with the smell of ashes and fire. I looked around. Everything was destroyed. Everything. Some buildings were collapsed, some were either burned to hell or a large pile of scorched wood and metal. As we were leaving I looked at the sign on the building we were in. part was torn off so all I could read was “-garcube Corner” heh that's a funny name. I thought.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We walked for about 10 minutes before the sick peacefulness of the destruction of Ponyville was interrupted by magic bolts being shot at us. there was 2 Changelings flying above us. As the Pegasi dived for cover I stood my ground. My mind went blank as my horn started to glow with blue energy. The energy turned into a ball and shot at the Changelings. I hit one! That one fell to the ground with a loud thump. I was so happy, but now wasn't the time to celebrate the other changeling was flying down at me. As it landed on the ground it jumped up and raised its hoof to punch me. I acted quickly. I used teleport magic to get behind it swept my forelegs underneath him or her, I didn't care. As it was in the air I hit it in the nose with my hoof sending it flying. It crashed into a apple stand, destroying the stands sign and snapping it in half. The Changeling lay sprawled out on the smashed stand. Not moving. I standing there panting, as my past started to come back to me. “what was that?!” the Pegasi said. I snapped out of my trance. Forgetting everything that was coming back to me.
“ I-I don't know” I said with a shocked look on my face. ' it was amazing! Were did u learn to fight like that?!” the Pegasi was on the verge of yelling. “
I don't know...” I repeated.
“oh... my name is Glowstick by the way.” he said his voice calm now.
“ hi. My name is Beat.”i said with a smile on my face. He looked a little scared of me. I don't blame him, after what I just did I’m afraid of myself.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pegasi. Wait. Glowstick explained to me what is going on since I lost my memory. Here I'll explain it:
Equestria has fallen into a dark time and all the major cities have been taken over. The Changelings rule Equestria now so there all over the place. Each major town and city is now owned by a single enemy.
Ponyville : Trixie. She has enslaved ponies with her magic and uses them to guard her. She is all talk and is pretty easy to get around.
Everfree Forest: Lord Tirek. He returned when he heard of the Changeling invasion. Basic physical attacks are basically useless. Magic is the best way to hurt him.
Cloudsdale: The Shadow Bolts. They've tricked the Pegasi into thinking that all other ponies besides Pegasi are useless. Cloudsdale is locked down and legally not enter able.
Manehattan: Discord. After he returned he was granted permission by Queen Chrysalis to control Manehattan. Teleports a lot. Uses Telekinesis. Is said to be holding Princess Cadence.
Crystal Empire: With Queen Cadence imprisoned, King Sombra took over. He has a royal guard of Crystal Ponies he's possesed with darkness. Removing his horn is the best advantage.
And finally. Canterlot: Queen Chrysalis controls everything from canterlot. She has crazy magical power and a huge army of Changelings that rule Equestria. She is teamed with Nightmare Moon, Nightmare moon keeps the moon up. Nightmare moon is also the General of the Changeling army.
After explaining to me, he told me that he came from a group of ponies who were all attacked by Changelings. They all scattered and he got lost from his group, only to find me with a pole on my hip, out like a light. He said they were all heading to the Everfree Forest to find refuge in the old royal castle. So thats were we were heading. I hope the journey will be worth it...
