The Imperium

"Oh yea! Another checkpoint down! Great job girls," exclaimed Twilight. It's been an hour and already at least 15 checkpoints have been taken down. This freed many ponies from their captivity between each checkpoint. Slowly and slowly. Phillydelphia was coming back to the ponies' control.

"Alright girls. The next step is to take on that Combine base. That should free up the Commander's troops and also shut down the checkpoints and force the Combine to retreat back to their Citadel," said Twilight.

As they approach the base, the could see multiple watchtowers and heavily armed Combine troopers. This time, the ponies knew they had to be cautious.

They slowly slipped into the base, silently eliminating the Combine Soldiers. After a bit of trouble, they finally reach the main control room. "From here, I should be able to shut down the rest of the checkpoints and open the cells," said Twilight.

"And the turrets," asked Rainbow.

"I think I can override their targeting system and make them fire at the Combine."

As Twilight began to override the controls, Combine soldiers came in who were then stopped at their path by turrets and gunfire. "Alright, that should do it," said Twilight. The cells opened up freeing excited ponies who then ran for the nearest door. And for the Combine, they either retreated or were gunned down by turrets. With the checkpoints destroyed and Phillydelphia finally liberated, Twilight knew that she'd be getting lots of troopers. She was right.

"Thank you Twilight Sparkle. You are what you truly are. A valiant soldier. You always will be. You and your fellow friends have been a great help. We have men on standby. Just contact us when you are ready," said the Commander.

"Thanks again for the soldiers."

"Thank you for the help."
