The Imperium

Spike finally emerged from the mine meeting eyes with Rarity and Twilight. "Spike," yelled Rarity and Twilight. "You're okay! But you're covered in blood!"

"It's not mine. Zombies."

"You have cuts and scrapes!"

"I'm fine. Where are the others?"

"Fluttershy and Pinkie went to Manehatten and Phillydelphia to coordinate the troops."

"And Rainbow Dash?"

"Cloudsdale I think with Spitfire. I don't know why though."

"Applejack and Jake?"

"Back at base."

"Alright. Let's get going. For Canterlot!"

The 3 of them venture through a part of Canterlot forgotten by the Combine. Smoke filled the air. Burnt corpses peppered the ground. "Jesus," said Spike. "Let's keep moving," said Twilight. They fought through a few Combine forces before reaching a communication tower built by the Combine. "Let's see if we can contact Shining Armor from here," said Twilight. "Rarity, Spike, get the doors."

"Got it," said Spike and Rarity.

"Hello," said Shining Armor.

"Shining Armor," exclaimed Twilight. "We're in."

"Oh good. Alright. Make your way to the castle. We don't know how long we can hold. Please come as quickly as you can."

"How's the princesses?"

"Cadence is fine, but Celestia isn't looking to well. She was shot in the crossfire. With that supression field up, she can't use her magic to heal herself."

"Where's the supression field?"

"Well I mean its covering Equestria. If you can help us. Maybe we can take down the supression field."

"Alright, we're on our-"

WARNING COMBINE OVERWATCH SECTOR SWEEP

"Crap," yelled Twilight. "Let's just hope they don't spot us."

As they slowly walked out, the Combine Chopper flew away. "That was a close one," said Rarity.

"We need to keep moving. The princess is in danger."
