Stronghold: New Beginnings.

Chapter 6:

The plan.

“Hello, and welcome Phillies and Gentlecolts. I have a plan that will help us overthrow Reggie Phillips. You see, he's literally my reason for being here. Two years ago, He and I were friends. Then, I did something that changed that. A few days passed, and on the first day of winter break, he returned the favor by making the sun explode and with it, the entire solar system. Me and my friend here Jake survived because we were in a bunker.

“We know not how Reggie survived, but we do know that he's turned a once beautiful place into a house of horrors, where those who are imprisoned are immediately executed. But that all changes now. We have a plan that will turn the tables, and make the losing side, the winning side. And if we all follow the plan, then Reggie Phillips, Destroyer of Earth and Tyrant of Equestria, will never see it coming! And we, my fellow survivors, will restore Equestria to it once beautiful , and once righteous place!!!”

Every pony in the audience cheered, and then four ponies came up to the stage. “I don't know who you are, or how you expect to do this,” said a purple pony with wings and a horn. “But I'm glad you're here to help us.” “As am I.” “I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle.” The Pegasus to her right, who had; a rainbow-colored mane and tail, magenta eyes, and a blue coat said, “I'm Rainbow Dash. I'm the leader of the Rebels, and my other friends here are Rarity and Applejack. I will give you some Intel on everything you wish to know. Welcome to Ponyville. Welcome...to Equestria.”

“Wait, that's your plan? To surrender ourselves to that demon? That'll be like giving up.” said a surprised Rainbow Dash. “Listen, that's not all. From what I've heard, he lets certain prisoners live a day after he captures them. The next day, he kills them. I am your advantage, Because I'm smart. So, without being interrupted, I'd like to finish explaining. After we surrender ourselves, You will be allowed the option to enjoy the sunlight for one last day.

“I will stay in my cell, and convince the guard to look after the other prisoners by acting defenseless. The guard, not knowing me at all, will not suspect I'm lying. I will scan the perimeter of the cell to find weak links within the cell. Then, at night, I will break free, and free all the other prisoners of war. Then, after doing the same for you six, we will kill the guards, then look for the chambers of Reggie Phillips. And I myself, will put him to sleep...for good.

“Then, we head back here, and wait for dawn, and when Chrysalis finds his husband dead, she will be out for blood. But we will have a one up on her, for she alone is defenseless against the Elements of Harmony. That's where you all come in. You will use the Elements of Harmony on her, which will rid her of Equestria forever.

“After that, we free the royal sisters, Celestia and Luna, and restore Equestria to it's rightful place. Excellent plan, huh?” “...Yes. Actually, it is. What should we call this plan, Max?” “Operation: Stronghold.”
