It was the Liberation Day, the anniversary of the day I had killed Umbra, freeing the crystal ponies, and the day I had brought this Empire into a new, golden age, making it from the most primitive, compared to Equestria the moment it came back into existence with outdated technology, to the most advanced and powerful Empire on the planet.

I watched as fireworks went off, in all colors, the main ones being white, purple, blue, and gold, during this night, and the day after, it would be all one big party, with almost the entire Empire joining in, aside from those who just didn't feel like joining, I grinned watching as the celebration went from a normal large party, to a damned rave, it was a good week so far, and much had been accomplished, despite yesterday being the day we had destroyed the Caribou Kingdom, the zebras that had come with me for that battle, had been praised and treated as heroes, not just by the other zebras, but by the fellow creatures that inhabited the Crystal Empire, as once it had been learned of what the caribou had done to the zebra, many, for the lack of a better term, wanted the caribou brought to justice and held accountable for what they had done, and they got what they had wanted, swiftly.

While the citizens of my Empire partied the night away, I was working on a new project of mine, an upgraded robobrain, one that would have a more humanoid, it would have the same head as a normal robobrain, but everything else was changed, the shape of the body, its weaponry, and all that jazz, I was working late into the night on this, when energy readings began to go off the charts around the Empire, so with a quick relay I was back outside, just outside the crystal palace, watching in confusion, others doing the same as the noise of the nation wide party died out rather quickly, at the sight of a giant....tear, for the lack of a better way to describe it, in the fabric of the sky, seemingly the very fabric of reality itself was being torn apart, either this is a prank by Discord, or something else, the Empire's automated wall defenses took aim and began to shoot, mistaking the large tear for some large hostile aircraft, or something along those lines.

The shots that hit, just seemed to be absorbed into the tear, I set off air raid alarms causing citizens to flee into the underground structure under the Empire, while I myself activated the energy shields, they had been turned off to view the night sky, and watched as the dome of blue protective energy formed around the Empire, however it didn't do much as the crystal heart itself began to spin within the housing that had been built around it to protect it, and the aurora beam that blew away all the snow and ice the first time the heart was reactivated went off, overloading the shields and causing them to fail, and for the beam to fly straight into the tear, causing it to widen and rather violently, everything began to shake as I fell to the ground from the intense magical, and gravitational forces at work.

I could feel this was being done deliberately, it was not something random, as for how, every creature that has ever been exposed to magic, will know after a certain time the difference between natural magic, say a cloud turning into a storm cloud, and unnatural magic, like a unicorn levitating something, when I say natural and unnatural, I only mean something that can't happen unless something like a unicorn or another species, makes it happen, before everything went into a blinding white light and I blacked out.

From across the globe a surge of energy was felt, by every being with even a little magic sensitivity as the Crystal Empire, vanished from the face of the planet, leaving a rather large crater in its wake, over 100 miles deep, and over ten thousand miles wide and long, a section of Equis was just gone, with little to no warning, taking with it the most advanced Empire seen in the world.

An unknown amount of time later, with a violent flash of energies in colors no being aside one from the void could possibly have any hope of describing, a new landmass was deposited and securely tied to the ground beneath an ocean, while the Empire that sat upon that land, was rather shaken up, but still mostly intact aside from a few collapsed houses and a few small injuries, such as a broken ankle, or a bloody snout, mainly from being forced to black out with no warning.

Across the new world, this event was felt by almost all creatures, and within an alternate version of Canterlot, Celestia looked up from a scroll she had been reading, taking a moment to close it off with a ribbon she set it aside on a table and grabbed her tiara with her hand, and set it firmly onto her head, before Luna barged into the room.

"Sister! Did you feel that ripple in the magical energies of the world as well as I have?" Luna walked over, she had on a black dress and her normal silver tiara, and some metal shoes on her hooves.

Celestia nodded, she was in rather simple clothes since she had been in her room at the time, and since it was night, she was just in a pair of yellow and purple pajamas. "I have sister, I hope this is not something bad, for I would hate to have yet another threat just come out of nowhere, but from the energy readings I am getting through the magic of the world, the energy being emitted seems to almost perfectly match that of the Crystal Empire, however impossible that should be, due to the fact only one crystal heart had ever been created, I will be sending some airships to take a closer look at it soon enough."

Luna chuckled. "Once we get some proper information, we can then plot a plan of action of what to do, I do like the way you think sometimes sister, I can tell whatever this is, its big, possibly even bigger than the time you almost caused a war with diamond dogs over how you refused to eat gems with their leader, before you had to explain that ponies couldn't eat gems like a diamond dog." That had been a rather....eventful time.

The shields of the Crystal Empire, slowly flickered back to life as the reactors that powered them, booted back up, automated systems slowly reactivating and going about their normal business, while creatures within the Empire itself where still blacked out, most had been taken care of due to automated emergency medical services, such as medic protectrons, and a few gen 2 synths that acted as fast responding medics, the King however was taken directly to a special room within the crystal palace, one meant just for him to recover, once he woke up however, it was going to be a shitshow once he realized what had happened to his Empire, and where they now where.

Author's Notes:

I'd like to note a few things, the ponies and other creatures within the Empire, are still normal as they where in the last equestria, they are not modified in any way, shape, or form, however I thought I'd try something..chaotic, a new world, a new empire, pun intended fully, so go ahead n smack me for the horrible pun XD, however I'd also like to note a few things, this equestria is SOMEWHAT more like within the show's shown levels of technology, trains, airships, radio, I assume they have that since they have things like large screens on city skycrapers, they also have projector videos and normal old fashioned cameras, but the main part here is that they use normal cannons, and fintlock muskets, however said weapons are enchanted, to keep them from blowing up, wearing down, and water proof, as a result of this when shot it expels some of the magic with the round ball being shot, showing up as green smoke, these enchantments are replaced every year, however, If you don't like how this has gone, let me know, and I will try to think of something else, however I sorta had this mostly planned since, also the sex tag was added due to the fact I have no idea what shall happen from here, in terms of suggested content, such as a character hitting on another, like lorenzo, or one of his guards, etcetc, idk if I will write something like that, however rest assured, there will be NO clop, that is non negotiable, however sometimes it may be implied, or some other such thing

Now, how did you like this chapter? what will happen next? who or what caused that tear in reality!? will you ever know!? MAYBE, I do know who did it, after all I was the one to write it, but do I feel like sharing? either as a chapter, or as a note in the authors notes? only time will tell for sure, most likely I WILL at some point, but its just as likely I WON'T at some point, lol

Can ya guess where the Empire ended up in relation to this new world's equestria? if so, what do you think will be different aside from the differences I have mentioned about this new world? do tell, let me know in the comments, shadowflameking out for now, till next time, and that may be a few weeks, because I'm in the middle of moving, hence the lack of chapters, so I decided to plop this one out before it was to late and my pc was packed, once again sorry for the no nobles thing, however I do plan to have them here at some point, most likely within the next 3-4 chapters, so just be patient, I will respond to comments as I am able, however I have poor signal where I am moving on mobile, so if I don't respond, its not for lack of trying, byeeee
