Total Mark-Up

The Crusaders being accepted into the Friendship School is about to become a briefly lived atthivement when talks of a new politically motivated law is about to be passed in the Equestrian Senate in Equestria's Political Epicenter, Horseington H.C., which is basicly an Equestrianised Washington D.C. where political matters that don't nessersarly need Celestia's word in are made and finalised, of which was what the Friendship Students were taking a filed trip to, to learn about some of Equestria's iconic politcal figures, but then discover that the senate is debating a law that could deside the Friendship School's fate in ways even Equestrian Royalty can do very little to stop. This life changing law is fore-runned by Senator Maximus Von De'Marque, who was once actselly a politically driven member of the Equestria Education Association, and a pony who has the biggest political involvement there. Being described as the political backlash deflector in protecting the E.E.A. from outside political comeuppance, given that realistically other nations would have issues about the E.E.A. stepping beyond Equestria's borders and shoving their noses into their business as they do, Maximus always defended even the most questionable of the E.E.A.'s decisions and stances, including Chancellor Neighsay's choice to shut down the School of Friendship, being an infamously cruel and vindictive enforcer of the EEA's decisions not being afraid to issue life-ruining penalties to those who protest against them. Once the EEA got disbanded, Maximus was left to become the political punching bag of all the representatives of nations heavily effected by the E.E.A.'s interference. With his political smarts, he managed to get into the Equestrian Senate and plans to give the biggest political payback by introducing a bill designed to restrict non-ponies from participating in Equestrian culture with cutie mark requirements. This bill, called S.M.U.C.K., Stopping Mythics Under Cutiemark Kontrol, is basicly  a regimene designed to have it that cutie marks are required to have a bigger enfluence into Equestrian Culture, otherwise it's a no go. That means that under the law, the non-ponies would HAVE to be expelled for lack of a cutie mark. And when De'marque proved immoveable about the law, Twilight and the other factalty are left hopeless to this. Thus, the Crusaders and the Students deside that the best way to save the school from De'Marque is through politics. They need to have De'Marque challnage into an election to deside who is best suited for a senator, but thing is, they need to find someone who can replace De'Marque. But then the Srudents ran into a young and starry eyed politicion hopeful who aims to get Horseington onto the path of helping to better equestria and not focus on political devision, named Stripped Banner, a pony with some Zebra heritage. Can this late-teen overly positive young fool be what helps the Friendship Students from De'Marque, all the while the Lougers are present to capture a Superior Assassin named Perfect Shot who has been said to have always left any would-be challnagers to De'Marque half-dead in ways not-dissimular to the Chupacrabra that leaves them brain-dead and retarded, ergo unfit to run, potaintionally implying that De'Marque didn't just got into the senate on politcal exbertise alone?
