Equestria: Salvation

Velvet Remedy, Littlepip, and Pumpkin Cake landed on a hard metal grate. Remedy groaned for a moment before looking to her right. She saw a T-800 skull. A mechanical arm grabbed the skull and took it away. Remedy got up and heard something. She whipped around to see another endoskeleton get an eye plugged in. Another arm put on the lower jaw. Littlepip was in awe.

“T-800s,” Remedy gasped.

“There’s so many of them,” Pip marveled. As Remedy and Pip were watching, Pumpkin Cake noticed something. She walked over to an orange glowing battery of some kind. She reached out for it, but Remedy grabbed her hoof.

“Careful,” Remedy warned. She took a closer look at the battery.

“What are these?” Pip asked.

“Fuel cells,” Remedy answered. “Life source for the T-800.” She looked at Pip. “Nuclear,” she said. “Enough to level this place. Cover us.” An alarm horn sounded. “Get ready,” Velvet warned. She knew the T-800 model 101 was still after them. Pip grabbed the grenade pistol and took aim at the incoming elevator. Remedy raised her rifle. The elevator stopped, but nothing came out of it. Pip and Remedy lowered their guard. An unfinished T-800 moved along behind them, revealing the model 101 T-800. It lunged at Remedy and knocked her back. Pip fell to the ground, rolled over, and shot the bloodthirsty machine. It flew back and landed on the ground. Pumpkin Cake looked at the dropped detonator.

“Run!” Velvet cried. She got up.

“Come on, Pumpkin!” Pip said. “Move!” The three soldiers ran towards the open elevator. Pip hit the button, but the elevator didn’t move.

“Come on!” Remedy cried. Pip slammed her hoof against the grated wall. Remedy reloaded her grenade pistol with her last grenade.

“We got to get to the transport!” she cried. Pip looked at the downed endoskeleton. It wasn’t moving. It seemed as if they would make it out alive. Remedy looked over at the fuel cells. She jumped out of the elevator.

“Where are you going?” Pip cried. Remedy slammed the grated door shut.

“I gotta end this,” Remedy said.

“No!” Pip cried. “No, I’m not gonna leave you!”

“You didn’t,” Remedy called back.

“Who are you?” Pip asked.

“Velvet Remedy,” Velvet said. As the elevator carried Pip and Pumpkin Cake to safety, Remedy attacked the incoming T-800. The machine caught her hoof and punched her to the ground. It threw away Remedy’s grenade pistol and approached her. Velvet crawled up a small flight of stairs, Terminator in slow pursuit. Remedy stood up and loaded her rifle to shoot a single, strong bullet. As the T-800 walked up the stairs, Remedy fired. The bullet hit the Terminator in the left shoulder, but the machine kept on walking. Remedy cocked the gun and fired again. The bullet still did nothing. The clip had run dry, so Remedy reached for another. The T-800 saw its chance and swung at Velvet Remedy. Velvet dodged the attack and swung back. The butt of her gun hit the machine in the side of the head, jolting it sideways. The T-800 turned its head back like nothing had happened. It grabbed Remedy and threw her off the catwalk. The machine jumped down and grabbed Remedy by the throat. It slammed her up against a wall and held her there. Just then, Pinkamena landed in the factory, clothed in a dead soldier’s uniform. She ran at the T-800 and tackled it, freeing Remedy. She rolled over and looked at Velvet. Remedy nodded. Pinkamena dragged herself away, T-800 in tow. Remedy got up and ran over to the fuel cells. She wrapped explosive wire around some of the cells. The T-800 slammed Pinkamena against a pole, then threw her into a furnace wall. Some molten metal fell from the furnace onto Pinkamena’s left hoof, searing the flesh off. The T-800 looked back toward Remedy and started toward her. Pinkamena was not about to let Remedy die, so she got up and knocked the T-800 to the ground. She walked over, picked up the machine, and threw it through some pipes, bursting them open. As the T-800 got onto its knees, Pinkamena grabbed a piece of hard metal and beat the Terminator with it. She hit the head backwards, then upwards. She swung again, but the T-800 grabbed her wrist. Pinkamena grabbed the machine, trying to get free. The Terminator threw Pinkamena to the ground and picked up a large piece of concrete. Pinkamena looked over at Velvet Remedy. She was determined to protect the leader of the Resistance. She got up, and was immediately bashed in the chest by the piece of concrete. Pinkamena slammed into a beam and fell to the floor. She got up only to get hit again. Remedy grabbed a charge and set it against a wall. Pinkamena got hit a final time, causing the concrete to break. Remedy turned on the charge and made a run for it. The T-800 analyzed Pinkamena for a weakness. It found her heart. The Terminator punched Pinkamena in the chest, right where her heart was. Pinkamena fell to the ground, terminated. The T-800 walked back over to where Remedy was. It rounded the corner and saw Remedy gone.

The exfil helicopter made a landing in Starnet, blowing away any opposition. Spitfire was flying it, with Braveheart and Rainbow Dash inside. They jumped out to help the prisoners escape. Braveheart helped wounded prisoners get to the transports.

“Hey!” Pip cried. Braveheart ran over. “Velvet Remedy’s still in there!”

“What?” Braveheart asked.

“Velvet Remedy’s still in there!” Pip repeated.

“Come with me!” Braveheart ordered.

Remedy ran through the factory, trying to find her grenade pistol. She located it near the bottom of the furnace. She got ready to jump, but she heard Pip’s voice.

“Remedy!” Pip cried. “Remedy, help!” Velvet followed the sound. “Help!” Pip called again. Remedy ran faster. “Remedy, it’s Pip! Help!” Velvet rounded a corner to see the T-800 standing there. Remedy pulled out her pistol and shot several rounds at the machine. Her efforts, however, proved useless. Remedy jumped off the catwalk, but landed wrong. She gripped her shoulder as the T-800 jumped down and landed on its hooves. Remedy grabbed her grenade pistol and fired, just above the machine’s head. The grenade struck the front of the furnace, spilling molten steel onto the T-800. Remedy crawled away and pulled out her pistol, with one shot left. The Terminator rose up out of the molten metal and continued toward Remedy. Velvet noticed a leak in the pipes above her. She shot the pipe, breaking it open. Coolant flew from the pipe, engulfing the Terminator. As the machine began to freeze up, it reached for Remedy.

“DO IT!!!” Remedy yelled. “YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!” the tip of the Terminator’s hoof brushed Remedy’s face, burning off some flesh. Remedy screamed in pain. The Terminator froze up completely, leaving it stuck there. Remedy saw Pinkamena’s motionless body and crawled over to it. She drove her hoof into Pinkamena’s chest, trying to restart her heart.

“Come on!” Remedy cried. She tried again. Still nothing. “Come on!” she cried. The T-800 broke the cooled metal around its neck and face. Remedy broke some cords off of a machine and tested their spark. She touched them to Pinkamena’s chest. The electricity rose Pinkamena’s body, but her heart didn’t restart. The T-800 broke the metal off of its raised hoof. Remedy tried to use her makeshift defibrillator again. Pinkamena didn’t wake up.

“COME ON!!!” Remedy cried. The T-800 broke off the metal in its shoulders and other hoof. Remedy tried one last time. She touched the wires to Pinkamena’s heart, and Pinkamena woke up with a jolt. Remedy sat up, and was run through the chest with an iron bar. Pinkamena got up and took the bar out of Remedy’s chest. She drove it into the T-800’s skull and gripped the other side. She pulled with every muscle she had in her body, and tore the T-800’s head clean off. Sparks flew from the neck and severed head. The machine dropped to its knees as the skull fell to the ground. The T-800 was terminated. It fell to the ground. The skull’s lower jaw was dislocated, hanging by one joint. Pinkamena looked over at Remedy, who was gasping for breath. Remedy looked her in the eyes. Pinkamena picked up Remedy and helped her out of the factory.

“Let’s get out of here,” Pinkamena said.

Braveheart looked outside of the helicopter to see three figures approach. He could see his daughter’s face in the dim light.

“Remedy,” he whispered. Pinkamena and Rainbow Dash were helping her to the chopper.

“She can’t make it back to base,” Rainbow Dash informed Spitfire. “Set this down in the nearest safe zone.” The helicopter flew up, and Spitfire called the base.

“Medivac!” she called. “Urgent! Severe chest trauma! Call the surgical team. Remarks? It’s Remedy.” As the helicopter flew out of Starnet, Pumpkin Cake pulled the detonator from her boot and gave it to Remedy. Velvet couldn’t believe she had picked it up. She took the detonator and turned it on. The light above the button went red. Remedy pressed the button. The light went green, and the charge in the factory activated. All of Starnet Central exploded in a spectacle of orange and bright blue. Pinkamena watched the light show as the chopper flew out of the blast zone. Starnet Central exploded into a final mushroom cloud as Remedy was flown to safety.
