Equus. The homeworld to over a dozen quadrupedal races. A simple world to some simple races, found at the very edge of the Solar System. Yet holding a special spark of peace and cooperation rarely found in lifeforms competing for resources.

The world of Pathfinder was more typical to such planets. Frequent wars and closed minded species inhabited the planet closest to the sun. As if in direct contrast with Equus, Pathfinder was a world made up of various bipedal creatures.

What was interesting was both worlds were filled with lifeforms straight out of Earth's mythology. Yet Earth was not even in the same Star Cluster, let alone system. The planets seemed neatly organized specifically on how many legs the creatures had. Of course, the Yokai knew why.

The Yokai. The third planetary inhabitants of the system, despite the fact that they actually lived in an asteroid belt in the middle of the system and not an actual planet. They thought that one of Doctor Whooves' past lives had brought all life to this system...well, most life. The Yokai came later, attracted to a system whose very planets were made up of Refugee races saved by their god, the Doctor himself.

The Yokai believed the Doctor was a god, who could reincarnate himself even without the need of a mother or father. Of course, by god they did not mean God with a capital G. The term God with a capital G pissed off the Doctor more than pears. They thought of the Doctor along the lines of Zeus or Odin. An extremely powerful immortal, but still a living breathing person.

And, unlike the others, this god actually gave a damn about the little people.

He created this system. Not by sculpting it out of clay or some such but by fairing refugee lifeforms to it. He had done this for countless other civilizations that lost their homes during a great war between godly races. A war that never happened. A war that erased entire planets from existence, to the point they never existed at all. Yet left the odd starship, full of sentient creatures, behind. People that had no home to evolve on, yet still existed themselves.

This was known as the Time War.

The Doctor was a general of the good gods and helped vanished a race of evil gods. Unfortunately this still left many races homeless. So the Doctor found them homes, organizing them based on culture and appearance. He trusted them to live together, in harmony.

The Yokai decided to take it upon themselves to ensure that peace... although being a largely violent race themselves, it was no surprise that they struggled to maintain the concept. At the very least, they ensured the various races survival.

Yokai moved to the various refugee systems the Doctor had created, usually staying on that planet directly but when there were multiple planets in the system they made an easier way to travel to them.

The Yokai are an interdimensional species, but they, to, were saved by the Doctor.

Their entire dimension was saved from being cut off the universe and destroyed by other gods who deemed it unworthy of continuing. The Yokai later showed their gratitude by using their understanding of interdimensional physics to come to this dimension. They made their homes in systems filled with lifeforms the Doctor saved during the time war, and act as protectors over those civilizations.

Even taking on the role of guides, when the inhabitants of Pathfinder and Equus discovered space travel... before that they used portals to hop between worlds. Yet even though the planet bound races had a slow start, once they got into space they proved, at least as far as the ponies are concerned, that the Yokai had just as much to gain from them.

It had been near 13 years after Twilight ascended to the throne of Equestria. Three years since the ponies discovered light speed travel, due to their magics causing them to skip a few steps when it comes to space travel.

It was clear to the Yokai that the lonely god favored this system, in particular, the pony race. Not as much as he did the flawed humans of Earth, but he clearly cared a great deal for the ponies of Equus. A god walked this system, decided to make it a home, gave them secrets of technology and advancement... these ponies were his chosen people. The ones he had the most faith in... the ones he believed could save the Cosmos. The other races of the system were just a long for the ride.

The Yokai made sure to keep their eyes on the ponies as they quickly developed their magics into greater feats. Terraforming nearly all planets and moons of their system into homes for the various races that lived there. Their combined racial magics making that a relatively simple task when compared to other lifeforms Terraforming methods.

As the ponies prepared themselves to leave the system and explore the rest of the Star Cluster, their knowledge grew quickly... perhaps too quickly. Three years of space travel was a bit soon to already be working on faster than light travel. "Working on" being the key words.

It would be several more years before they perfected the magics required, but they would easily have it in time for the next Generation to reach adulthood. A generation born into an area of peace between all races of the system. A Generation simply known as "Bronies".

All sentient beings have magic, it merely comes out in different ways unique to their species. However sometimes magic comes out in strange unexpected ways. What causes this is unknown but sometimes individuals have powers Atypical to their race. These powers can be seperated into categories called Classes.

This is a story about the Doctor's chosen disciples. Individuals with Classes that the Doctor helped nurture.

Those he trusted, and personally trained from a young age, to save the Galaxy from a terrible evil on par with the Time War itself.

It will take them a while to get to that final battle. Facing against their own personal conflicts and various obstacles in their way. With each of their adventures and assignments preparing them for just that.

Preparing them... for this little galaxy...

...If only the Doctor wasn't such an idiot we might have hope of this plan actually working! This coming from a childish moron who chokes on Jelly Babies more than an actual infant...
