I hate this fanfic, I really do. The original was horribly-written wish-fulfillment that portrayed humanity as even shittier than we already are, and the “solution” to the humanity problem, namely being ponified, was fucking stupid too. It was like Avaturd, only with ponies.
It really just gives both the brony-haters as well as the edge-meister grimdark bronies among us more ammunition for their even shittier “alternate” version of the original, where the ponies are the bad ones and humanity are “NOBUL FREEDUM FIGHTERS!!11!1!1ONEELEVEN,” and apparently according to TV Tropes they nuke Equestria at the end. “Noble freedom fighters” my arse.
My Improvements:
But enough complaining about the festering pile of garbage that was the original and its many-times worse alternate interpretations. Now it’s time to talk about my much-better sequel.
The story is non-canon and completely disregards almost everything about the “canon” and continuity of the original, because I can never be bothered to read any of that without wanting to take an AK-47 to my computer monitor. It stars a former human who got turned into a unicorn pony known as Radiant Sword, and completely ignoring the idiotic “second-class citizens” status the original TCB-verse had going on because the ponies are the good guys again in my story.
Radiant Sword can use magic in the form of special “spells” given to him by Zecora as potions, and he sorta uses them like armor abilities in Halo. He can turn back into his human self albeit with some pony-like traits such as limited magic ability, and prefers this form when battling humans. He wields a magic sword shaped like a unicorn horn, and can shoot a variety of magical projectiles out of his own horn on his forehead.
Meanwhile the humans built a giant flying, nuclear-equipped warship which flies thanks to thousands and thousands of severed pegasus wings kept alive in nutrient jars, which they zap with electricity to make their anti-gravity magic keep the vessel afloat. It was built by the governments of America and Israel, and has the most powerful nukes from both American and “‘Murica’s only tr00 ally in teh entire world bcuz Gawd sez so!”
It is crewed by human supremacist soldiers, some of whom are evangelical Christians who believe Equestria is Mystery Babylon and that Celestia is the Antichrist, Luna is the Beast, Twilight is the False Prophet and Cadance is the Whore of Babylon and all of ponykind deseves to be cast into the Lake of Fire for challenging teh glorious h00man raec, and others are militant atheist Darwinists who believe ponies are weak specimens who deserve to be wiped out bcuz natural selection, and that teh h00man raec is perfect specimens.
Naturally Radiant is up against an army of high-tech human military vehicles and soldiers, and is a story of magic and nature (the ponies) versus technology and people who hurt the environment (humanity.)
