The Imperium

The room was empty. No one filled it. No radio chatter. No one talking. It was completely empty. Spike looked around in hopes to see Rarity or Twilight. There was no one in site. He slowly got out of bed and realized he had no bandages. He was completely healed. He walked to the main hall to discover that no one was there. "Where is everyone," wondered Spike out loud. He started walking around in hopes to find a note or something indicating where they had gone. There was nothing. Suddenly, Spike heard the sound of boots hitting the ground.

Spike slowly went to the window. He saw an enormous amount of Combine in the area. He ran to his locker, grabbed his pistol and holster and ran to the door. He waited for the Combine to pass. He slowly opened the door and ventured outside. What he feared the most had happened. The Combine had come again. Even stronger. He crouched down to prevent from being seen. As he turned the corner, there. He saw his friends being lined up against a wall. The soldiers holding their rifles at their ready position. They aimed and were ready to fire. "Twilight! Rarity," yelled Spike. He reached for his pistol to discovered it had disappeared. All he could do was stare at his friends' demise. Tears filled his eyes. Then, the triggers were pulled.

"RARITY!!!"
