The Resistance

Wind was awoken by the sound of an explosion. She ran out of her room and down the hallway. She entered the main room, breathing hard. Vinyl looked up from her device as she ran in she was wearing a pair of tattered jeans and a loose fitting black T-shirt.

"Relax, it's just them testing there bombs. They do it every week. We're all safe." She said as the others ran in too.

After a long explanation and some coffee, they were all settled in to discuss the plans.

"Before Twilight went missing, she was able to formulate a plan of attack for us." Vinyl began as she pulled out a folder and spread the documents out on the table.

"She found three places we needed to hit in order to dampen their defenses enough to attack the fortress head on. We were going to split into three teams and hit each one simultaneously. Each one has a specific job that reinforces the defenses of the fortress. The first of these is the machinery factory. It is responsible for creating the automated drones that scout the area around the fortress walls to assess potential threats. The second is the power station. It supplies the necessary power to keep the electric barriers and search lights going. The fortress itself has a separate power supply somewhere inside. The last one is the worst of them all, it's the resistance holding prison. That will be the toughest to infiltrate. Two of us will have to go undercover and infiltrate the facility." Vinyl continued.

"So, where do we start?" Applespice asked.

"That's another problem. We would have to infiltrate all three at once. That is why we would have to split into three teams. Doctor Whooves would lead the team into the machinery factory, because he's good with tech. Octavia would lead the team into the power plant, because she knows the layout of it. And the two that would go into the prison would have to sneak in an earpiece for me to be able to help them progress safely through out the facility." Vinyl replied.

"Okay, so, who's going where?" Marigold asked.

"That's just it. I don't know what skills you kids have, if any." Vinyl replied.

"I'm pretty good with tech too." Comet said.

"I can handle explosives pretty well." Cherry said.

"Good. You two can go with the doctor to the machinery factory. What about the rest of you." Vinyl replied.

"Well, I can handle some heavy lifting." Applespice said.

"I'm pretty good with stealth." Wind said.

"Good. Wind, you will be my little jailbird." Vinyl said as she handed Wind a set of earpieces.

Wind took them and looked at them suspiciously.

"How are we supposed to sneak these inside?" She asked.

Vinyl just looked from them to her.

"Wait, do you mean what I think you mean?" She asked.

Vinyl just nodded. Wind made a face that was a mixture of sickness and anger.

"Why do we need to shut down the prison anyway?" Applespice asked.

"If we're going to assault the fortress, we're going to need to bust our friends out to help us. So, you'll need to figure something out for those earpieces, without them you'll be dead in the water." Vinyl said.

Applespice just sat back down.

"Okay, so, what can the two of you do?" She asked as she turned toward Shadow and Marigold.

"Well, I can be pretty inventive in a tight spot." Shadow said.

"I can, well..." Marigold began as she walked up to Vinyl and whispered something in her ear.

Vinyl's eyes got wide.

"Okay, then. You and Applespice will accompany Tavi to the power station. Shadow, you will accompany Wind to the prison. Cherry, I will need you to make two bombs. We leave in o-three hundred hours. Everyone get your gear together and we'll meet here to split into teams." Vinyl said before the group split up.
