The Resistance

"Over here guys!" Cherry yelled from the gaping hole in the wall.

Wind and Shadow ran over to her. She was standing there with Comet and Doctor Whooves. Wind turned to see all the prisoners looking at her and Shadow. Wind handed Shadow the battery.

"Who here is tired of being oppressed by the overlord?" Wind asked.

Everyone raised there hands.

"Good! Who here is willing to fight for there freedom?" Wind asked.

Again, everyone raised there hands.

"Excellent! Today is the day we push back! I may not have been here long, but, I am willing to fight for your freedom! Join us and take back this land in the name of Celestia!" Wind shouted as she raised her fist.

There were several whoops and hollers from the crowd as Wind turned and started running toward the fortress wall with them behind her.

"Vinyl, meet us at the fortress wall and bring your invention. Have Tavi and the others bring weapons, we're bringing the party to you." Wind said as she ran.

Doctor Whooves looked over at her.

"Your father would be proud." He said as he handed her mother's sword to her.

They reached the wall just as Vinyl and Tavi showed up. Applespice was pulling a wagon filled to the brim with various guns and melee weapons. Vinyl had her invention ready to be used. Shadow handed her the battery and she placed it into the open slot in the side as the crowd from the prison were already arming themselves.

"This will take a few minutes to charge up. Keep me covered." Vinyl said.

There was a rumble from behind the wall. Wind got on top of Applespice's shoulders and looked over the crowd of resistance fighters.

"Today we fight to reclaim this land! There may be casualties, but, you will have died for an honorable cause! Die knowing that you were able to help us take down this menace! Are we ready?! For today we dine in hell!" Wind shouted.

The crowd gave a unanimous shout of approval as they thrust their weapons into the air.

"Very brave words! I'm almost touched! Too bad that one as brave as you must die! Get them, my pets!" A voice said from the fortress.

A blur of thousands of colors ascended the wall and landed in front of them. It was an entire army of cyborgs. The ones at the head of the pack surprised Wind the most. They were her friends parents and relatives. Wind gulped as their own army hesitated, seeing there loved ones in the group.

"They may look like the ones you know and love, but, they no longer have any humanity left! You must treat them as if they were a simple drone!" Luna yelled.

"Vinyl, how goes the charging for that weapon?" Wind asked.

"Not quite yet. Buy me some time." Vinyl replied.

"Alright! Let's do this thing! CHARGE!" Wind shouted as both armies slammed into each other.

Wind jumped down from Applespice's shoulders as he was ambushed by his cyborg family. He was surrounded by Applejack, his aunt; Big Mac, his dad; and Fluttershy, his mom. They were attacking him with various weapons as he dodged and countered, but, he didn't seem to ever strike them enough to do any serious damage.

"Applespice, you have to kill them! If you don't, they'll kill you!" Wind shouted.

"I can't! It's my family!" He replied.

Wind ran over and ran her sword through his aunt. Motor oil spewed from the wound. Applespice had a shocked look on his face.

"See? They're not human anymore! Just machines!" Wind shouted.

"In that case..." He said as he brought the huge hammer he had, down onto his mother's head, which burst like a melon.

He looked over at his father, who was staring at him intently. His dad swung a broad sword at him, but he dodged and used the hammer with full force against his dad's leg. He collapsed onto the ground. Applespice raised the hammer above his head and as he brought it down, he could almost swear that he saw his dad wink at him.

"It's ready! But, I can't get a clear shot at the wall!" Vinyl said.

Wind and Applespice exchanged a look and nodded. Wind climbed on top of his shoulders again and faced the wall.

"Give me the device!" Wind said as Vinyl handed it to Applespice.

He handed it up to her. She positioned it on her shoulder like a rocket launcher. She could hear the device humming as it readied to fire.

"What is this thing, anyway?" Wind asked.

"Oh, it's nothing special..." Vinyl started as the device hummed louder.

"it's just my BASS CANNON!" Vinyl shouted as the cannon fired a blast of sound that ripped through the crowd and shredded the fortress wall.
