World War V

World War V is a planet wide conflict between the Solar Alliance (an alliance of humans and ponies, including other races outside Equesrtia and aliens from the Solar System) and the Pact of Totalism (an alliance of Children of the Stars cultists and the Shroobs) raging between Earth, Equestria, the Solar System and the Shroob Planet. The War began on Shroob Day when the Shroob Empire emerged from the depths of Earth and Equestria and eliminated one quarter of both the pony population and the human population. In the months after S-Day, the Shroobs advanced across the surface, made an alliance with the Children of the Stars cultists, and eventually attacked major cities and nations of Earth and Equestria. Nearly a year after S-Day, total Shroob/Children of the Stars victory seemed inevitable when newly-elected Secretary-General Wangombe Kenyatta used the kinetic rods from satellites to eradicate all Pact of Totalism-controlled cities and the entrapped human and pony population. The kinetic rod strikes only slowed the Pact of Totalism advance across the surface and the survivors of the kinetic rod strikes formed independent clans known as the Surrounded.

Humanity and everypony remained outnumbered and outgunned by the Pact, though they now at least had a fighting chance. Pact of Totalism forces continued to make gains once again and by 2148 they had conquered Canterlot during the Winter of Grief. The Pact of Totalism's advance ended at the gates of Warsaw where they could not pierce the granite under Wroclaw. On 2149 after heavy Solar Alliance losses and amid the Pact of Totalism preparation for the Battle of Warsaw, Secretary-General Wangombe Kenyatta ordered the launch of Operation Escape Pod, a recruitment drive of Surrounded men, women, children, mares, stallions and foals to fight for the Solar Alliance in either combat roles (only for adults) or as engineers (for all ages).

Operation Escape Pod met stiff opposition from the Surrounded, who hated the Solar Alliance more than the Pact of Totalism since it was under Secretary-General Kenyatta orders that the kinetic rods were used, however some Surrounded joined in order to save their families from disease and famine. Before the fourth year of the War, the Pact of Totalism attacked the human capital of Tokyo and achieved victory because a single soldier named James Paulson from Auckland, New Zealand abandoned his post and took the orbital strike targeting laser in an attempt to save his father, Michael Paulson. James failed to save his father and humanity lost its unified capital of Tokyo, forcing them to relocate to the newly-liberated city of Lagos with the ponies and the other sapient creatures from their world, including aliens from the Solar System. James Paulson was tried for cowardice and sentenced to 40 years in Tartarus.

Four months after James Paulson's act of treason, a pony named Sugar Cookies freed him from prison and joined up with Omega-Two on a mission from Colonel Wilhelm Hoffman from Germany. Omega-Two, under command of James Paulson, were able to deploy the Sonic Rainboom Bomb and destroy the Pact of Totalism strongholds in the Shroob Planet, giving the Solar Alliance a decisive victory, but the Pact of Totalism were able to rebuild and counterattack with gigantic monsters that destroyed several cities and Solar Alliance military bases. In 2152 the Solar Alliance launched Operation Fungi Storm which resulted in James Paulson and Omega-Two discovering that destroying Lagos with a gigantic laser from a satellite would flood both the Children of the Stars headquarters and wipe out the COTS and their heretic zealots, who where in the midst of a civil war. Fungi Storm ended in an evacuation of all Solar Alliance military forces and civilian population to Ponyville, where the remnant of the Children of the Stars and the Shroob Empire would continue to fight in small skirmishes until the Solar Empire abandoned the mainlands of Earth and Equestria for smaller, isolated islands, leaving the COTS and the Shroobs to rebuild new homes in the Deadlands.

The war ended in a human-pony victory after the Shroobs and the COTS wiped out 90% of both human and pony species wiped out together while population of both other creatures from the Pony World and aliens from the Solar System were halved and with 95% of infrastructure (if not abandoned) on both worlds being decimated in process, and as a result of massacres, genocides, strategic bombings, premeditated deatsh from starvation and disease, and an excessive use of giant lasers, nuclear weapons and other superweapons, Earth and the Pony World would take a few decades to recover.
