Fission
Chapter 5: Jail Break
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI laid down on the bed in my jail cell, stripped of both my barding and my rank, but that still didn't keep me from having a big smile on my face. Oh that look on Celestia's face was priceless! Hah! I wonder if she will regret killing me after she can't tell when the next magical anomaly is coming! Who knows? Maybe we'll all get lucky this time and this one will take out Celestia tomorrow and rid Equistra of the tyrant for good! I wonder how Luna's doing? Maybe I actually shouted some sense into Celestia and made her treat Luna better? Who knows? Maybe she's actua- my train of thought was interrupted when I heard a click and my cell door swung open to reveal a pegasi in a simple brown robe that covered her entire body except for her blue wings. Wait a minute the door doesn't have a key in it so that means she can use magic... "Princess Lu-" I began to ask her.
"No time!" Luna replied. She ran over to me and cast a teleportation spell and we where in an apple orchard, I think it's the one in Ponyvile, but I can't be sure.
"Hurry up, put this on!" Luna demanded me, levitating another set of robes. And I quickly put on the robes.
"Now, is your lab safe?" She whispered quietly to me.
"No, but I know a friend in Canterlot that could hide us." I whisper back.
"Can this pony be trusted?" She asked cautiously.
"Definitely." I respond steadfast.
"Okay, I'm teleporting us into Canterlot, we must be quick." Luna informed me. She cast another teleportation spell and we are in Canterlot. Lucky for us it's raining, so our coats help us blend into the crowd as we try to avoid the numerous guards running down the streets searching for us. We finally made it to my friends house. I pound on the door three times as hard as I can and unsatisfied I lift up my hoof to try again when Luna stops me. "What are you doing? Do you want to get caught?" She demanded.
"No I want to be heard." I explained.
"Heard?" She started to ask when the door opened.
"Wow! "Vinyl exclaimed as she saw our faces. "I thought you where on death row Flash!"she exclaimed.
"Luna sprung me. We need a place to stay Vinyl." I explained.
"Well come on in." Vinyl said joyously. We walked in to hear the sound of wubs being played at a surprisingly quiet volume.
"No wonder you heard me, how come your not booming it like you usually do?" I asked her.
"Im having my quiet time with wubs." She explained. Luna gave me a questioning look. I just gave her a look that said to not question it.
"So tell me the story Flash." Vinyl asked. "I heard you where on death row for treason. Why did Luna spring you anyway? Was going to be the first execution in Equistra in almost a thousand years." Vinyl asked me.
"So why did you break me out? I asked Luna. Luna took in a deep breathe and let it out then she looked at us and told us
"For the revolution." she said in a solemn tone. Vinyl Scratch sputtered back up her drink, while my jaw dropped. There was a long awkward silence, which was broken by Vinyl laughing outloud and turning around to Luna.
"Nice one, you nearly got me on that one!"she said inbetween chuckles.
"It's no joke, I need ponies who are brave to stand up to Celestia's tyranny like Atomic Flash was." Luna explained.
"And do what? March up to Canterlot Castle and fight off the entire military plus two alicorns, possibly three if Cadance shows up!" Vinyl asked.
"It won't be a problem if we can build a military of our own!" Insisted Luna.
"And who's going to pick your side?" Asked Vinyl Scratch.
"I know a few that might." I but in. "Fluttershy might because of her condition, Red Reef has been itching for a fight with anything, I know that Fang and Claw from the night guard would probably join our cause, Colossus hates Celestia more than he hates anything and that's saying something, Maple Leaf worships you, Iron Shaft might still be loyal from his time in your guard, I know the Thesalians want Celestia gone and there's eleven of them, and Octavia has a .....personal vendetta against the Celestian Church... One I think you share Vinyl... So counting us three that would be twenty two ponies, eight earth ponies, nine pegasi, four unicorns, and one alicorn. It's a start, if nothing else." I explain.
"All right, all right, I'm in if where going to take down those stuffy old priest!" Declared Vinyl.
"Now we just need to find these ponies from the most likely to join us to the least likely." Luna explained.
"All right then we should go find Fang, Claw, Iron Shaft, and Octavia here in Canterlot, Maple Leaf in Applelousia, Red Reef from Manehattan, Colossus in The Badlands, The Thesalians by the Eastern Shores, and Fluttershy in Ponyvile. But what are we going to do about the magic event tomorrow?" I asked Luna,
"We will face it whe-" Luna was interrupted by a group of guards bucking down the door. I quickly summoned a lighting bolt and shot it at them to distract them and was very fatigued by the spell. Luna then teleported the three of us away.
