Over on a hill far from the town, a unicorn stallion wearing a ghillie suit lay prone on a hill just inside the Everfree Forest was watching city hall through his binoculars. His horn lit up as he opened the telepathic link to his teammates.

“Target in sight,” the leader said.

“How many?” a tan unicorn mare asked.

“The Element of Generosity and the dragon. The mayor should also be inside. That's all I can see.”

“We can take one out of six. Not to mention the Element of Magic’s pet and the mayor. I’d say that’s a good enough opportunity,” a white pegasus added.

“Is the thermite set?” The leader inquired.

“On your word,” The mare said.

“Blow it,” the leader said.

The mare’s horn glowed. At first, they only saw a small flash as the thermite ate through the power transformer. After a few minutes, the transformer exploded and a massive electrical fire engulfed the building. The three then exfiltrated back into the forest, proud to have been the first to start the revolution.
