Entry 4

Contributor Name: Twilight Sparkle

Security Level: Priority 1 - Restricted
--------
"Priority level: Restricted. Security measures will be enacted on this recording, however any items that may help the resistance and the fate of Equestria and Equus itself will remain untouched. Security code is delta romeo x-ray six. From this recording forward, console recordings will be at a minimum, the priority for logging will be the Iris cameras. It has been eight days since the last entry, allowing all of us to become more accustomed to our new... enhancements, as well as making and testing the firearms that sunset has helped us with. We have also gone through the mirror, to test the effects, and to provide a better learning environment for the new legs and hands, as well as a place to stock up on weapons and ammunition. I also have had the chance to look into the runes carved into Dusty's sword. This magic is old, probably from the time before Luna and Celestia, although, Discord has been around longer, so Fluttershy and Dash have gone to track him down. Twilight Sparkle out, activating protocol two one four seven."

"Alright girls, how are things going?" Asked the purple alicorn, rising to her back hooves, "Any problems with the upgrades or weapons?"

"No Twi, ah think these things are makin' us more than a match for those blasted clowns out there." Shouted back Applejack, twirling a revolver pistol around a new metallic finger, before blowing on the barrel and holstering it. "Heck me and Pinkie even got a little competition goin' on. Ah reckon ah'm gonna win, but at thirty of 'em, we're both tied. although how she's managing that with a cannon, is beyond me. We still ain't got nothin' on Dusty though, somewhere 'round eighty, not even slowin' dow- oh! Speak of the Dust Devil!" AJ mused as the tan unicorn cantered in through the door, covered in a dark blue ichor, twirling the now bloodstained sword, before sheathing it in a similar manner to the orange mare.

"Ninety-three. And a half, but I let him go, after I threw one of the princess's trackers in his gut."

"Like I said Dusty, you can just call me Twilight. And why did you go out there after them like that? I didn't even know you left." Twilight seemed flustered, wondering the how, when, and why.

"Easy prin- Twilight," Dusty corrected, "Don't bust a brain vessel, please. I don't want the trophy that says 'I broke a princess' on it."

"I'm okay, just a little freaked out by the blood. And how effective we are, especially you."

Dusty merely shrugged at this and offered, "Well, we took down maybe two hundred or so, although the have maybe two hundred times that many, but if we can get this stuff to the princesses and the army? That's where it ends. I hope. Maybe. Probably. Definitely more or less." She ended with another shrug, before sitting down and beginning to clean the sword, and the light armor she had been wearing.

"Well, that's good, and everybody's back, save Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, and Rarity is still in another room, designing armor, or something. Wait, Pinkie! What do you see?"

"Ooh ooh ooh! It's Dashie! Wait, where's Fluttershy?" It was at this point that the blue pegasus came crashing into the throne room, panting and crying. Before long, the girls calmed her down enough to get her story.

"It's Discord. He's almost dead. They.. they got to him before we did. Fluttershy spent enough time with him to be able to get his teleport magic working when he isn't able to, but she sent me ahead to warn you. And we're gonna need something to hold her down."

"Why?"

"She went Flutterrage. She killed almost three hundred by herself after she saw Discord, before I even knew what happened. And before he lost consciousness, he said something about Spike. Where is he?"

Twilight paled when she thought to her dragon companion, and how he had been with Fluttershy when her home was attacked, sending most of the animals fleeing into...

"The Everfree forest."
