The Imperium

"How's the growth potion going Spike," asked Twilight. "Works like a charm! Taller, faster, more efficient, and most importantly, handsome." Bragged Spike.

"We don't have time for this Spike, grab the weapons and let's get going!"

"Fine, fine..."

It's been 15 years since the Combine invasion. 15 long years. Ever since then, ponies were being smuggled in and out of towns and cities through underground tunnels and metros. Twilight and the crew have been helping ponies get through more of an open area because of a collapse that happened down at the tunnel. "How many did we lose," asked Applejack. "Only one, but that one was a philly," said a saddened Rarity.

"Consarnit! A philly?! Why would you let this happen!"

"I did what I could Applejack! There were just too many!"

"Alright. Alright. Let's see here. Ah! There's a better route. But it's armed to the teeth by the Combine."

Just as Applejack was about to explain, Twilight and Spike arrived. "Twilight! Thank goodness you are safe. There were more of the Metro Police during this patrol," said Applejack with relief. "Look at you Spike! You've, you've gotten, taller, and handsome," exclaimed Rarity. "No time for chit-chat, where's Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash?" Interrupted Twilight.

"I believe Pinkie and Fluttershy are on their supply run." said Rarity

"And Rainbow Dash?"

"She's on her way."

Spike drops the arsenal of weaponry down on the table. "So, this is what I managed to pick up on the way here," said Spike. "Great! This'll be great! Now I can have my revenge on what they did to Big Macintosh," said Applejack with her voice a bit shaky. "I know. But we need you to stay here. Spike, Rarity and I will be taking them on. Applejack, you stay here and wait until Pinkie Pie and the rest of them arrive," said Twilight. "What?! Why? You know what they did to him! I don't want that to happen to ANY of us,"

"That's why I want you to stay here. I want you to think of that. How to stop them. Make some plans."

"Pfft. Whatever."

"Alright everypony. Let's do this!"
