Five long years

Five long years.

Chernobyl ran. Trees pressed in on all sides, low branches whipping and grabbing at her mane, shoulders and flanks.



Five long, bloody years, since that day the stars had change and she found herself in this Celestia forsaken Everfree.


Behind her a predator howled, it had captured her scent. The howl echoed through the forest and was answered once… twice… three times.



Five years she had fought the monsters within it.


Still running, up ahead the trees thinned. If she could get clear of the trees her endurance would let her out distance her pursuers. Chernobyl cleared the trees and came to a dead stop. A shear 300 metre cliff faced her. The howls sounded nearer.


Five years since those eggheads decided to get themselves killed.


Chernobyl turned to face the hostiles, E-tool griped tightly in her teeth. A tree fell, a wolf 30 feet tall and made of the night sky tinted orange walked into the clearing, its paw shattering the tree’s trunk as it came down. Three smaller sky wolves moved out from behind their alpha, taking up flanking positions.

death or glory. Chernobyl charged the Lupus Major.


Five long years since she was due to die.

There was a sudden noise from overhead as a squadron of pegasi flew overhead, carrying what appeared to be three humans clad in armour strikingly similar to the armour the pegasi were wearing. The pegasi dipped towards the earth and released their payloads, sending the three humans hurtling towards the ground.

As they were about 6 metres from the ground, the humans slammed a button on their chest-plates and there was a loud hissing sound as metallic wings fixed themselves into position upon their backs. They all drew large swords hanging from their sides and lifted their arms in front of their masked-faces, deploying a wrist-mounted shield.

They all moved into position alongside Chernobyl and maintained speed, swords pointed straight towards the Lupus Major the pony was charging at. They all looked solemnly forward as they neared the target.
