The Imperium

As they proceeded on, Rarity couldn't help think what she'd done. What she'd said. She had to force the idea out of her head. She had to push forward. With or without Spike.

As Twilight and Rarity pressed on, they took out a few Combine Soldiers before reaching the main control station. "Alright. I think I can turn of the suppresion field from here. Suddenly, "Freeze," yelled a voice. Twilight and Rarity spun around holding the Combine assault weapons. She and Rarity lower them discovering that these were allies. "What are you rebels doing here," asked Twilight.

"Shining Armor ordered us to come here after noticing that you've been off transmission for hours. He thought you might of been captured and sent here."

"We're fine. But while you guys are here, we need you guys to maintain this base. Produce a broadcast through this frequency. The Combine probably know that their main outpost is hit and the suppresion field is down."

"Okay. We'll begin broadcasting. We'll also hotwire the base's defense while we're at it. Good luck getting to Shining Armor. Oh, and also, watch out. He sent out some type of assault to try to clear out certain points. If you meet up with any rebels on the way, try to give them a hand."

"Sure."

"Good luck out there."
