The Resistance

Wind was almost knocked off Applespice's shoulders when it fired. She hopped down and handed the cannon back to Vinyl.

"Good work!" Wind shouted as she and Applespice headed for the hole in the wall.

They made their way into the hole and entered a very bleak courtyard that resembled a desert and had a set of steel stairs leading up to a large steel door, that had also been affected by the bass cannon. They ran up the stairs and through the door. The inside of the fortress was pretty dark. They made their way down the dark hallway and entered a giant throne room. It was mostly empty, except for a golden throne in the middle of the room and a small cage at the far right. Wind could see a few strands of rainbow colored hair sticking out of the cage. She ran over to it and saw her parents huddled together.

"Mom! Dad!" She yelled.

Neither of them responded to her calls. She rattled the bars of the cage.

"Mom! Dad! I came to save you!" She yelled again.

They still didn't respond. She looked closely and they didn't seem to be breathing. It looked like her father was holding her mother like she had died and had cried over her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at them.

"Mom! Dad!" She cried again.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Applespice with a concerned look on her face.

"They're gone, WInd. We were too late." He said in a comforting voice.

"No!" She screamed as she pulled away from him.

"Where are you!? Show yourself! You coward!" She yelled at the throne.

There was a clapping that came from the darkness behind the throne. A female pegasus stepped out from behind it. She had multi-colored hair that had streaks of blue, red, and white. She wore a big black crown and had on all black with a huge red hourglass on her shirt.

"I'm impressed. Too bad your parents didn't live to see you being such a great leader." She said.

"Fuck you! I'm going to kill you for this! You bitch!" Wind yelled.

"Such language for a young lady. Fellows, please teach this young mare some manners." She said as she snapped her fingers and two guards appeared on either side of her.

They charged Wind, but she dodged and caught one's throat with her blade. He fell and she took his blade from him. The other guard charged her again. She jumped over him and sliced his head clean off with both blades. She landed and put her own blade into her mouth and grabbed the newly dead guard's. With her lackeys dispatched, Wind could focus on the bitch that had killed her parents.

"Well done. Use your hate. Let it run through you." She said.

"Fuck you!" Wind screamed as she ran toward the pegasus with all three blades.

The pegasus materialized a red steel broad sword and blocked her attack. They swung back and forth blocking each other from advancing. This went on for several minutes before Wind got the better of the other pegasus. Wind managed to catch her in the back of the knee as she slid between her legs. The pegasus fell to one knee.

"You're not bad. Your father taught you well." The pegasus said.

"I'm just getting started." Wind said as her anger took control.

She ran one blades through each of the pegasus's shoulders and pinned her to the floor.

"Gah!" The pegasus cried out.

Wind stuck her remaining blade into the floor next to her and sat on the pegasus's chest. She began mercilessly beating the hell out of the other pegasus to the point that her own knuckles were bloody. Wind got up and grabbed her blade out of the ground. She paced around the pegasus as she twirled the blade in her hand.

"Just do it already!" The other pegasus said as she choked on blood.

Wind threw the blade into the air and it came down and pierced the pegasus's throat. Wind walked away as the other pegasus drown in her own blood. She walked over to the cage and had Applespice rip the door off. Wind grabbed her mother and had Applespice grab her father. They walked out of the fortress and noticed that the battle had stopped. The cyborgs had stopped fighting and had fallen over to just heaps of scrap. Doctor Whooves looked up and his face dropped. He ran over and checked their pulses and tears welled in his eyes.

"I failed." He said quietly.
