Equestrian VS. Machine

Among the equipment that Starlight had snatched, there were sketches and blueprints that showed the layout of the machines' base and their linkage system. While the hacking platform was being set up, Twilight and Flurry Heart went to have the ports surgically removed from their hearts. The points where the headbands attached were only stickers and those would be removed later. After two months of assembly and programming, the platform was completed and the plan was formulated. Starlight called a meeting with Twilight and Flurry to discuss how the captives would be released. She led them to an aircraft that housed the platform and a medical wing.

"While the ground troops and air force continue fighting the machine army, you two will go into the Realm and track down 6 certain captives. I have equipped your digital selves with special I/O disruptors that are disguised as red-colored gel capsules that will help you pinpoint their locations in the holding cave, along with equipment to track down and extract the captives. Also, I have sabotaged part of the Realm to be an extraction point for the captives. You must get them to this area in order for the extraction to work properly. When you go in, you will show up at this area and find the equipment laid out for you. Five of the captives are Twilight's other friends, and the sixth one is a young weapons specialist by the name of Nyxia Starstrike, who has never seen the real world. She is one of the thousands that was grown from bioengineering. I suggest you go in and take them out two at a time. I will be in radio contact with you at all times. I have also edited the appearance of your digital selves so that the security programs in the Realm will not alert the machines of break-ins. Once everyone is rescued and nursed back to health, I will send you and the five to help the soldiers. Nyxia will stay here to take command of the long-range weapons after she is taught the truth. Neighsay will go to the machines' base to confront and destroy the leader. He knows that this will be dangerous and may result in his death, but he insisted on being the one to do it. He said that he should be the one to do this because he created the A.I. and he let it get out of hoof."

Twilight and Furry accepted the plan and began gearing up to break into the Realm.
