Within the palace of the Crystal Empire, Cadance had multiple photos of before and now of what Equestria looks like from Twilight laid upon the floor as she had a look on her face then it looked like she was at war with herself. She looked pale as a ghost as both voices in her head were shouting while the memories of the past kept on flashing in her head. "It's…It's getting worse the longer Dainn rules Equestria!!" Her conscience shouted.

"You are not going to think like that, it's better this way!" The other voice inside her head argued. "You're where you're at, a useless cock sleeve, a cum dumpster, and a brainless slut!!"

"But look at these photos!!" Her conscience shouted as Cadance frantically looked at each photo while clutching her stomach. "Equestria relies on everypony, both male and female! Equality is supposed to be what Equestria stands for and now it's ruined!!" She felt like she was going to throw up before she quickly covered her mouth as something was coming up from her throat. Cadance quickly ran over to a trash can and let out a vomit into it.

She then felt her fear grow bigger as she had every symptom of what she wanted in the past, but now isn't too sure of. She pulled herself off the floor as she felt dizzy while slowly making her way over to a dresser and opening a drawer. She then quickly pulled out a pencil and paper as she was writing something down on it with a frightened look. Soon the door to the room opened as Shining Armor came in with an exhausted look.

"Damn those resistance bastards and their mask general." He growled in frustration. "It's bad enough I'm having trouble sleeping because of those nightmares but now Lord Dainn is having me-What are you doing?" He questioned when he noticed Cadance was standing by the dresser with her back towards him. Cadance didn't reply as she kept on writing before he walked up to her and forced her to turn around and face him. "What are you writing?"

"A…it's a letter." She replied with a scared tone. “To my friend, Fren Da from Manehatten, my master.” he then tried to get a good look at the letter but she kept on pushing it from side to side to prevent him from looking. He then pulled her aside and quickly grabbed the letter and saw she was lying.

"You were writing to my cunt of a sister, Twilight and lied to me about it?!" He questioned with an angry look.

“I knew you would get angry and I tried to make you less stressed about things." She replied before she bowed her head. "I'm sorry!” but the moment she said that, she suddenly smacked herself in the face before shaking her head. "N-No, I'm not sorry because she needs to know and not you!"

"You dare shout at me?!" Shining shouted angrily with a glare. "And what is it that she needs to know and I don't?!" She didn't reply to him before he quickly grabbed her by the collar and yanked her forward. "Answer me, now!"

"I…I'm pregnant and I don't want to have this baby!!" Cadance exclaimed, which made the entire room go silent.

"What do you mean that you don't want to have the baby?" Shining growled with a low tone and a dark glare.

"Do you know how many stags and stallions have been pumping their semen into me?!" Cadance questioned rhetorically. "I don't even know if it is even your foal in me! Not that I know that you're the same Shining Armor now, because you're acting completely nothing like him!”

“Well I know what I’m going to do later on today." Shining told her. "Executing susceptible males and having them hang on the walls of this castle.”

"That, that is the reason why I don't see you as my Shining Armor and why I don't want to have this foal!!" Cadance shouted with a glare and a tear in her eye. "You treat living breathing things as if they're nothing but tools for your enjoyment!! You're acting just like… like… like…"

"Go on, who am I acting like?!" Shining demanded.

"KING SOMBRA!!!" She shouted in his face. "We made a promise to this empire that we would never enslave them, just the way he did and we broke that promise!! They made us break it, they tricked us and used us!! After seeing all of these photos Twilight has sent me, I suddenly remembered all the beautiful times we had together, the times I was looking after her, the dates we used to have, now they feel all tainted because of the caribou!!" She clenched her fists while she started to cry. "I don't even recognize you anymore as you treat so many innocent mares like nothing and I did the same!! I am the Princess of Love, I am supposed to spread love and fix relationships, not break them!! I…I loathe you!!" She was then grabbed by the throat as Shining Armor started to choke her with a very angry look on his face.

“You seem to forget that the only reason I’ve kept you close." Shining growled as he gripped tightly around her throat. "Was because you were a perfect breeder, but it turns out it was all a mistake. YOU are a mistake and your foal inside is a mistake. But I won’t make another mistake this time. I think it’s time to hook you out on the Crystal Cock again. And THIS time, you’ll remember your place, Princess Slutty.” She struggled to breathe before she quickly kicked him right in the jaw to make him let her go. She finally took a breath of air before Shining Armor drew out his sword with a very furious look. "You bitch!!" Cadence tried to take off but was held up by Shining’s magic to block the door. “Oh no you don’t!”

She breathed heavily as he approached her before she grabbed the nearest heaviest thing she could find to defend herself with. "Stay away from me!!" She shouted. Shining then slashed her arm making her drop the object before slashing her near the face. She cried out in pain as she held her arm and placed a hand near the cut on her face. She then let out soft whimpers as he looked at her before he felt something inside twist in pain. He felt his heart get tighter as he saw her bleed before she looked up at him and he saw that he nearly cut her right eye out. "Y-You monster…"

He then saw his reflection in the mirror near the dresser as flashes of images of King Sombra were suddenly replaced in the mirror, which startled him. He dropped the blade out of fear before he looked down at his hands and saw that he was shaking. "N-No…I would n-never…" He stuttered before he felt sick to his stomach as he fell to his knees. “Wh-What’s happening to me? Ca-Cadance?" He took another look at his wife as he suddenly couldn't recognize her anymore with the cuts on her arm and face, not to mention her missing horn and the shells on her wings. “Cadance! What in Celestia’s name happened to you?! Wh-Why do you look like this? What happened?!” He questioned with confusion as he tried to get closer to her, only for her to scoot fearfully away from him.

"Stay away from me, you monster!!" She cried out in fear. “You're not my husband, you're another King Sombra!!"

“What are you talking about?" He questioned as his hand was still shaking before he noticed the strange changes to their room. “What happened to this room? Used to be so tidy and good, but now it’s a mess. Did you and Twiliy have a secret sleepover and never told me about it?” Suddenly, a flood of memories of what he had done over the two years with the caribou came back to him as he held his head and began to cry. "Oh dear Celestia…no…please no…"

“Shi-Shi-Shining?” Cadance softly asked before they heard a knock at the door.

"My lord, is everything all right in there?!” They heard a voice from behind the door. "We heard a lot of yelling in here!"

"We're… We're fine!!" Shining shouted. “There was just an accident and…and my cunt is bleeding, so bring bandages and some stitches for me to patch her up now!! And don't tell anypony about this!!"

“At once sire!”

Shining then dropped his sword and was quickly looking for a water source to help wash off the bleeding. He then quickly grabbed a couple of towels before he cautiously walked over to his wife who was still bleeding. “Look Caddy, I don’t remember much of what happened, but what you said and those photos and me looking in that mirror." He said softly. "I remembered everything that has transpired, and I’m truly sorry for what happened. I don’t expect you to forgive me, just know I’m back to how I’m supposed to be. Please let me help you…"

Cadence was at first hesitant, but after a while she reached out her arm. Shining began patching her up. There was soon a knock at the door as he quickly answered it and quickly grabbed the items he requested from the soldier as he quickly shut the door behind him and went back to his wife. “Here’s proper first aid.” He quickly put some disinfected on the cut on both her hand and face, which stinged her a bit before he put bandages on her hand. “This may leave a scar on your face, and I'm so sorry…"

“Thank you…My knight in Shining Armor.” She thanked as a small smile appeared on her face. Shining then began to stitch up her cut on her face carefully as more guilt flowed through his head and his heart.

"What are we going to do?" Shining questioned. "They find out that we're…they might turn me…and you'll be…"

“Shiny, listen to me.” Cadance told him as he was almost finished. “For now, treat me as your property for now. If an opportunity comes up, we’ll take it. But we have to let Twilight know… about us and this.” She said as she held her stomach.

“Right..You’re right." Shining said before he cut the string when he was done stitching. "Okay, you remember on what frequency did Twilight send you those photos?”

"What about them?" She asked.

“You can’t use magic on the account of your missing horn." Shining pointed out. "If I knew the frequency of the magic Twilight used to send those photos here, that or she had Spike send them. Maybe I can do the same and send the letter you were writing to her.”

"Okay, just focus on her and Spike will receive the letter." Cadance told him before she grabbed the letter and continued writing down her message. “Let’s also buy ourselves time by giving Twilight secret intel on sabotaging some production facilities that keep the Crystal Empire flowing with riches. If the resistance does this, it’ll make it easier for them to attack and rescue us.” Shining nodded in agreement as she was almost done with her message.

Meanwhile at the resistance HQ, Fluttershy was with the Lovander as she had an amazed look on her face as it was wielding a practice sword and hitting a practice dummy with it. “Wow…that’s amazing. " She gasped with a glisten in her eyes. "Who knew Lovanders were capable of using tools like us modern creatures.” She said in amazement just as Flash approached her.

"Hey Fluttershy, how's it going with the Lovander?" He asked her with a warm smile.

“It’s going great Flash." Fluttershy replied. "Venus here’s really good at using tools and weapons just like us. I wonder what made them go extinct in the first place?”

“Probably from screwing around like rabbits instead of actually building things.” Rainbow butted in. “I mean, they breed like rabbits right? How did they become extinct?”

"Did you really name it Venus?” Flash asked Fluttershy with an amused smile.

“Well it is a Lovader." Fluttershy pointed out. "And I heard Venus in myth said it was named after the goddess of love and beauty. And…well…I just thought it was a swell name to give it, or her.”

“Venus huh? Well then, let’s see if Venus can follow orders, if not perform tasks.” Flash said before he looked at Venus. “Venus! Step forward towards me, but not on me!” Venus dropped the sword and quickly stepped in front of him. “Alright, now we see how you use a melee weapon. But I want to see if you can work other than fight or breed. See that crate of bolts inside? Go pick it up, and bring it over here.” Venus went and grabbed a mace and sword before going over and offering it to Flash.

"Wow, so it's also like a retrieval hound or something?" Rainbow questioned.

"Not sure, but it seems she's really good at what she observes." Fluttershy mentioned. "Like how Applejack taught her to cook and she got it on the first try. By the way, I heard you, Lightning Dust, Spitfire, and Gilda started a herd with Soarin after you finally recovered. How is it?"

“Still not sure about him." Rainbow said with a shrug. "I get it, he risked things for me, and supported me during the race. I’m still conflicted about being with the guy. I…I just…I just don’t know, okay? I always thought he was a hot stallion in that jumpsuit of his. But after what the caribou made him do to me, I can’t brush it off.”

“Just give it time Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy told her with a small smile. "Things will be different from here onwards.”

“Hope you’re right, Flutters.” Rainbow sighed. "Oh and you know that batpony that was harassing him before? Well she's been begging me to let her in our herd and I told her that I'll think about it."

“No, Venus! The crate, the crate! Not the mace and sword!” Flash ordered as the Lovander now named Venus quickly grabbed the crate and carried it over to Flash. “Good, but I need you to do that a few more times. That way I can trust you to do minor jobs while off on my liberation campaign.” Venus then did a cute little dance showing her happiness expression. Flash just told her good as he patted her head.

"By the way, Flash, that surprise you had for Twilight, is it ready?" Rainbow asked him.

"Just as Chrysalis said, they arrived this morning and I used my sword on them." Flash replied. "I'm going to surprise her later on. Speaking of Twilight, have any of you seen her?"

“Last I’ve seen her, she was looking into something back at the library.” Fluttershy answered. “Though if you could, could you tell her that I’m making excellent progress with the Lovander?”

“Sure Fluttershy, love ya.” Flash said as he brought the buttermilk yellow pegasus into a quick kiss and left, leaving her blushing.

Spike meanwhile, was resting in a bedroom while Smolder was sleeping next to him after having another rough sex night with her again. He carefully moved out of the bed to try not to wake her before moving towards the bathroom. He was glad that the plumbing in the castle was fixed and he did not have to deal with dirty water as he splashed clean water on his face. He let out a sigh right before he felt his stomach growl and he clenched it in pain.

"Oh man, I shouldn't have eaten that many gems last night." He grunted before he belched out a flame and a scroll appeared. He quickly caught it and saw that it was from Cadance and Shining Armor when he unraveled the scroll. When he carefully read through it, his eyes widened in shock and knew Twilight needed to see it.

Smolder stretched her arms after sitting up in bed before she saw a Spike heading for the door. "Hey, where are you heading?" She asked him.

“Twilight needs to see this letter!” Spike exclaimed as he ran towards the library.

Meanwhile in the library, Rose was bringing some books over to Twilight as she was prepared to do another lesson with her. "These are the books you asked for, mistress.” She told Twilight.

“Rose, I told you before to stop calling me mistress." Twilight told Rose with a smile. “We're all equals here."

“Right, sorry. Here they are.” The caribou cow gave the books.

“Thank you.” Twilight said before standing up from a chair. “Now Rose, onto another spell. This one is where you turn a certain object into something else. First what you need to do is think of what you want the object to look like. Such as a teacup, what would it look like and what shape would it have?”

"Okay." She took a deep breath before holding her hands out when Twilight sat down a ball on the table. She closed her eyes as she concentrated and Twilight saw glowing markings going up her arms. She quickly took a picture of it while Rose concentrated. Just when a pair of antlers made of magic appeared on top of her head, the doors to the library opened up as Flash came in.

"Twilight, I have a surprise for you!" He called out which broke Rose's concentration.

"Master?" She asked when she saw him walking up to them.

“First off; Flash, remember? Second, I got news for you, Twi!” He said with a proud smile. “I was told how worried you are about your parents and it got me thinking about something, can you guess what?"

"What?" Twilight asked before Spike burst through the door. "Spike, what are you doing here?" She asked before she noticed the scroll in his hand. “Is this about sending another scroll to my brother and Cadance again? I don't have pictures for them yet.”

“No, Shining and Cadance broke free from caribou control!" Spike explained which surprised the three. "Cadance just messaged me to give to you!" Twilight took the scroll and carefully read it.

"'Dear Twilight, my most beloved sister-in-law. I don't know how much time I have but I want you to know that I am thankful for you sending these photos.'" She began to read the letter. "'Lately, I've been having a war inside of my head since I saw those pictures and it's hard to even think about anything anymore after seeing them. And not to worry you, but you should know about what has transpired at the Crystal Empire. Shining discovered what you tried to do and was going to brainwash me again, but thankfully he came to his senses beforehand. All it took was him cutting me with his sword and shouting at him to realize what they made of us. The caribou made us broke our promise to the Crystal Empire and we want nothing more than to make them pay for it. Another thing you should know is that I am pregnant, but I'm frightened that it's not your brother's child inside of me. But more importantly, now that your brother is free, we are in greater danger now. Hurry up and save us. We’ll work behind the scenes of this war and make things easier for you and the resistance. Love, your sister-in-law Cadance. P.S., Shining wants to let you know that he's sorry for raping you and your friends, especially your friend Rarity.’” When Twilight stopped reading the letter, she felt light-headed before Flash quickly got her a chair to sit down in.

"Are you feeling okay?" He asked with concern.

"We need to tell everypony." Twilight told the other three. “Now!”

Flash and the other two had no idea what was happening, but knew it’s serious enough to make Twilight panic.

Soon the others joined Twilight in the meeting room as she told them everything that was written in the letter and everything. "That's… That's so much to take in… Cadance is pregnant." Starlight said in shock. "And now they are free from their brainwash but they can't get out of the Crystal Empire?"

"It'll get even worse if the Caribou found out." Flash mentioned. "They might turn Shining into a female before turning both of them into purple collars. They are deep within the Lion's Den."

“But Twilight pony said sister-in-law can make easier for rebels against caribou.” Dimora pointed out.

“That may be true, but we must choose how many times so the caribou doesn't suspect anything.” Nightmare Moon mentioned.

"Or we can wait until Cadance gives birth." Sunburst spoke up. "Me and Starlight I've been trying to figure out a way to restore the Crystal Heart back into, well a heart and their baby might be the only way to do it."

“Quick question, how would that work?" Rainbow asked.

"Think about it, what is the purest thing out of anything in the world?” Starlight asked the group. "A baby. A baby doesn't know the rights from the wrongs, or knows the cruelty of the world. For a child’s heart is bright when it’s first born. So basically, we rescue the couple as soon as they birth their foal. Bring it to the Crystal Heart, after we get the shards that the Caribou took that made into it a cock and the Crystal Empire shall be restored.”

“While also freeing males and females across Equestria and beyond!” Pinkie concluded with excitement.

"Except for one thing, the heart and the shards are separated." Soarin spoke up. "Dainn took the shards and had them in a very secure spot inside of Canterlot castle. There's no way of getting them if we are going to need the shards."

"Not if we take our time and have him be scared enough to move the shards to the Crystal Empire so we can restore the heart." Applejack mentioned. “With all them nightmares all the Caribou have been having, we just need a few more scares for him and he'll be the one at our mercy."

“And he might even be scared enough to move Celestia and Luna, allowing us to get them and free them." Fluttershy added.

"So all we have to do is continue freeing bits and pieces of Equestria and giving Dainn a reason to fear the resistance.” Flash finished. “Though, since my time with Dainn. I’ve learned that he’s been secretly using our train railways to transport cargo and slaves across the map.”

"We derail the trains, we derail the transfer cargo and save some slaves." Talia mentioned before she noticed a certain pony missing. "Hey, has anyone seen Rarity? I haven't seen her for the last three days."

“Huh, now that you mention it, I haven’t seen her around at all.” Her sister Tanya added.

"Um, I didn't want to worry anyone but she said she went on a certain personal mission.” Fluttershy mentioned as she rubbed her arm.

"Where'd she go?" Applejack asked.

"She didn't say." Fluttershy replied.

“But do you know somepony who does?” Flash questioned.

“I believe my follower Midnight might know.” Nightmare Moon spoke up. “She and my followers are specialists in the art of stealth and information.”

"Okay, so we ask one of them where Rarity ran off to." Twilight mentioned. “And I have a funny feeling that it's a personal matter if she didn't tell anyone where."

“Yeah, white pony usually secretive when it comes to her own things." Dimora spoke up. "Me just saying. Though if you bring one of her items. I could track with my nose. Diamond dogs like actually dogs can smell miles away.”

"Sorry Dimora, but we're going to need you to help with the train and stuff." Flash mentioned. "Let's just hope she doesn't do anything brash.”

“Oh come on Flash pony! I’ve not done anything productive since rebel thing started! Let me prove you me useful.” The diamond dog begged before she gave him the puppy dog eyes.

"Oh, okay fine, but be careful because I don't want you being caught by the caribou again.” Flash told her. At which she happily licked his face while wagging her tail.

“Thank you Flash! And don’t worry about me. Caribou not catch diamond dog so easy." Dimora said with a proud tone. "Besides, we hide if we have to.”

"By the way Flash, did you give Twilight the surprise yet?" Chrysalis asked with a sly tone.

“Yes I did, and we're still discussing this Chrysalis.” Flash told her. "I mean, I did tell her about it but I haven't shown her yet."

“If Dimora is going, count me in.” Vinyl Scratch added. “Like her, I too want to fight alongside you and not being held back here.”

“Where my roommate goes, I go.” Octaviva chimed in.

“I’m going too.” Lyra spoke

“Same here.” Bonbon said. “Besides, somepony needs to keep an eye on her roommate as well.”

"You know girls, you don't have to ask me to go on a mission.” Flash told them with a warm smile. “You're welcome to do as you please."

“True, but after you’ve been with the others." Tanya mentioned. "I say it’s time we get in on this action. For we are a part of this too you know.”

“Hey! Don’t forget your sister Tanya!” Her sister Talia spoke up.

"Okay, looks like we all have our own assignments to do.” Flash mentioned before he looked over at Twilight. "Now about your surprise, it's time you see what I have for you." He then took Twilight by the hand as he let her out of the room.

“What is it, Flash?" She asked him. "We’re in the middle of a critical meeting that could turn the tide of things.”

"Well Twi, I think you have been working yourself tirelessly and I think you need some personal time with a good old family.” Flash told her, which only made her more confused. They then came to another room before he opened the door and the site before her made her gasp. She saw Twilight Velvet and Nightlight, her parents as they had concerned looks on their faces. The sight of them made her heart skip a beat while tears started to form in her eyes.

“Mom, Dad.” She weeped out.

"Twilight…" Velvet spoke first before she and her husband quickly went over and hugged their daughter as all three of them began to cry.

"Oh my little Sparkle, I am so so sorry for everything I did to you." Nightlight cried out.

“I don’t care dad." Twilight replied as she couldn't stop crying. "I’m just so happy to see you two again, here, with everypony I know and love.”

"Why don't you take some time to have some personal time with your family while we handle the rest?" Flash suggested with a warm smile.

“No you’re not General Sentry." Twilight spoke up. "I’m now in such a good mood right now, I think this is a great opportunity to get to know my family better. You're staying with us. Let the others do it and I believe it's time for you to take a break as well.” Flash looked at her for a moment as he didn't argue and gave her a nod.

Night time soon came as within the streets of Manehatten, Fancy Pants and his wife turned slave, Fleur De Lis, were making their way out of their club and out on the street. "Ah, another nice night of sluts getting fucked." He said before looking at Fleur. "You really put on quite a show for everyone in that cum cage.”

“The best as always, my lovely master.” Fleur replied with her slutty tone. "I will always pleasure any male for their enjoyment." Soon they turned a corner as they went down an alley before they heard some trash cans fall down which made them jump.

“Who’s there?!” Fancy called out but got no reply. They then felt a chill down their spines as if icy cold stares were looking at their direction.

"Fancy, Fleur De Lis." They heard a familiar voice before they turned to see Rarity leaning against a wall and twirling a knife in her hand. “Long time no see old friends." She then stepped out of the shadows and they saw her having her horn back while wearing a latex suit that has a white trimming on it. "Last I saw you both it was at the Grand Galloping Gala as Dainn's counsel raped me and my friends.”

“You?" Fancy gasped in shock. "But, you’re supposed to be dead. Including the others.”

"Yes well, I might as well have been considering all the Caribou have made me do to betray my friends and family, that would include the two of you." Rarity mentioned as she traced her finger on the blade. "As for you two, you should have realized something was up before but you didn't because of the brainwashing spelling out under. I knew I should have told my friends about those little secret clubs you invited me to."

“Well they are very profitable." Fancy mentioned. "Though it does nothing for my old heart."

"Wrong, you both have very good hearts as you accepted my friends when you first saw them during Twilight's birthday." Rarity mentioned as she approached them with the knife.

“Wait a minute, your friend's birthday?" Fancy asked as he and Fluer stepped back from her. "I thought you didn’t want her and your friends to show up ‘cause how embarrassed you were of them when you tried to go higher up in Canterlot.”

"At first, but I learned my lesson and now I'm going to teach you both one." Rarity said with a dark look in her eye.

“Please, Rarity. Don’t hurt us, we can help you if you just put the knife down." Fleur pleaded. "Besides, the caribou are in control now. If we step out of line, they brutally suppress us and they don’t tolerate disobedience.”

“Yes, the caribou here are stronger, meaner, and have Warbeasts patrolling the streets day and night here." Fancy told her. "Punishing ponies or other creatures, under direct rule of General Thornblitz. Chief dictator of Manehatten, one of Dainn’s mightiest leaders. He has maximized security here, but we can help you, just don’t hurt us.”

“Fine, just…don’t make me regret this, okay?” Rarity said with a dull look and a sigh.

“Thank you Miss Rarity.” Fancy told her.

"However, that is not what I'm here for.” She said which made the two freeze up. “It's about that little concoction they serve at those clubs. The one that you offered me and gave to Cadance before the fall. Essence I believe it's called and it's high time it stopped being served, forever." She then held a knife to Fancy's throat with a threatening look on her face. "Tell me where they are making them so we can stop this because I know you have helped them poison the water supply in this city with those concoctions. I can't have any more innocent mares be in heat just because of that vinyl stuff."

“Okay, okay." Fancy said in a panic. "When they came to this city from the waters. I’ve oversee their cargo transport by sea here in Manehatten. I was convinced at the time that it was harmless, something to help ease pony’s stress. I didn’t know their true intentions until it was too late. Ever since then, me and Fluer have been forced to accelerate their operations, and we can’t get out. Please, help us Miss Rarity. I’m tired of indulging in this cursed place.”

"Liar." Rarity hissed before she cut his cheek with the knife. "Tell me who the supplier is!"

"It's Master Avaar!" Fleur quickly answered. "He was the first to come here after the Caribou invaded a village on the east side of Equestria! They brought plenty of Essence with them and now they're making more here! He's here in the city right now and that's all we know!"

"Good, now you are going to help get rid of Avaar along with Essence as well." Rarity told the two. "And if either of you tries to do anything, I will kill you both, brainwashed or not."

"Not without us." She heard a familiar voice before she turned to see Lyra and the rest of Flash's girls, except for Chrysalis, Twilight, Applejack, Rose, and Fluttershy. "If you're planning on getting yourself into trouble, you might as well have backup." Octavia said with a brow.

“Oh, and one more thing.” Lyra said before approaching the white unicorn. Before Rarity could say anything, the unicorn pony punched the unicorn in the gut hard, making her wezz a bit. “That’s for taking off on your own without telling us! Applejack asked me to do that when we see you because she's with the others dealing with a train problem.”

"Now where to find Avaar and this Essence stuff in a city as big as this." Tanya mentioned.

"I can sniff it out if I had something to track with." Dimora spoke up.

"I believe Fancy can help with that." Rarity said after recovering from the gut punch and looking over at Fancy Pants. "Fetch us a bottle of Essence and don't try anything."

“I wasn’t going to… I just want things to be normal again.” Fancy said as he carefully made his way through the group of females. “I will fetch the bottle of essence for you."

"We know he's just saying that just so he doesn't get hurt by any of us.” Talia mentioned before looking at Fleur. "And I remember how you took so much joy into torturing me and my sister when we were caught.” She said with a glare towards the pinkish maned white mare.

“I know." Fleur said with a nervous look. "I admit my guilt. Like my master here; I too want things to go back to normal, and wear clothes again.”

"We'll see." Tanya said as both griffin sisters glared at her.

“Stop that you two." Vinyl told the two. "Remember, they’re good ponies at heart. Despite living high class lives, they seem cool to me.” A few minutes later, Fancy Pants came back with a bottle of Essence before Rarity quickly took the bottle and popped the cork. She then used her magic to quickly catch the cork and hovered it in front of Dimora's nose.

“Mmm…" Dimora hummed as she sniffed the cork. "Essence drug strong. Almost as strong of smell as Flash pony’s cock. But powerful.” She continued to sniff the air before she let out a howl but was quickly silent when Bonbon covered her mouth.

"Easy, we don't want the whole city to know we're here." She whispers harshly to her. "Do you have the scent?"

“Yeah, I got scent." Dimora replied. "This way, I lead, ponies and griffons follow, along with fancy ponies.”

Meanwhile out west, Applejack and a few other resistance members were up on a hill as she had train tracks in her sights. "Now all we have to do is wait fer’ the train to show." She told the others. “Once it comes by, we pump the brakes on it and take over the tracks. The others are already working on the other tracks around Equestria."

"You know AJ, this kind of reminds me of when we went to visit your cousin in Appaloosa and those buffalo came out of nowhere and attacked the train we were on.” Rainbow mentioned with a chuckle. “I'm a little surprised that the Caribou didn't capture them yet."

“You should know by now, those buffalos are both too smart and too distant to be caught." Applejack replied. "Besides, the caribou have to shave off their winter fur in order to fuck their females; let alone survive the heat.”

"But what about Little Strongheart?" Fluttershy asked with concern. "She was more like us when we first met her and Appaloosa was overtaken by Caribou as well. No pony has seen the buffalo since the fall, and that kind of worries me.”

“Now don’t worry Flutters, knowing that rebel, she’s far away from the town and well out of harm's way.” Applejack told her with a warm smile before they heard a train whistle out in the distance. Applejack pulled up binoculars as she saw the train coming down the tracks. "Okay y'all, here it comes!" She then quickly noticed something going down the hill and heading towards the train. "What in tarnation?" She looked closer and saw a familiar face heading towards the train, Little Strongheart. “Little Strongheart's down there!”

Sure enough, the cow buffalo was down there as she was preparing to jump. "What is she doing?!" Applejack questioned before she looked at the others. "We gotta move now because things just got more complicated!"

“I knew she would stir up trouble sooner or later.” Rainbow couldn’t help adding before the train rolled by and Little Strongheart jumped right on top of it. "Is it only her?!"

“In that case. Rainbow, and those who can fly, follow me and assist Strongheart!” Fluttershy ordered as he took off. Rainbow then flew overhead seeing the cow buffalo was heading towards the lead train. However, she stopped in her tracks as two bulky caribou with twin axes in each hand.

“Hey you cow, get off our train!” One of them shouted angrily. They charged at her, but she swung each axe and chopped off either a limb or a head off before kicking another one off of the train.

"I'm not a cow, I'm a buffalo!" She declared before shopping another head off and sticking an axe right into the chest of another.

"Nice one!" Rainbow called out to get her attention.

"Rainbow, is that you or is this a trick by the enemy?!" Strongheart questioned after seeing Rainbow Dash.

“No, it’s me!” Rainbow replied before she landed in front of her. “Long time no see!"

“A pleasure." Strongheart with a straight look. "If you're wondering why I’m here, I’m here to free my own people."

"You mean your own kind is on this train right now?!" Rainbow questioned which she earned a nod in response. "Then it's a good thing the resistance is here to help!" She declared just as the resistance was heading towards the train before Applejack jumped on top.

“Rainbow! Is Strongheart alright?!” Applejack asks before landing.

“Yes, she’s well and accounted for.” Rainbow replied.

“Good." Applejack said before looking at Strongheart. "I'm under orders of Flash Sentry, leader of the resistance and lover of mine, would love to get to know you. Now let's stop this train and get everypony on board out!"

“But first we need to get towards the lead car.” Strongheart told them. "It's a good thing I have a friend on board to keep the rest of the enemy busy." Applejack and Rainbow Dash were confused by what she meant before they heard commotion coming from the carts down below. They noticed blood stains hitting the windows before they saw a shadow jumping inside.

"What the hay is that thing?!" Applejack asked.

“Oh, just a friend I made." Strongheart replied. "She has hated the Caribou since they hunted her family. She is very skilled with a knife like it's a sword."

“What is she?” Rainbow asked before they heard a knock on the roof from below. Strongheart then opened the hatch before what came out surprised both Applejack and Rainbow Dash. It was a bunny with a scar on its stomach and left ear as said ear covered its left eye. Its eyes were blood red while it had some blood stains on its paws while it carried a knife in its right front paw. "A bunny?!"

"Meet Bloody Bunny." Strongheart introduced the bunny. "Bloody Bunny, meet some old friends of my past that are here to help." BB said nothing but nodded while readying herself for battle again.

"I have so many questions about this, but it can wait after we stop this train.” Applejack mentioned. "Let's get a move on, y'all!" BB jumped back down into the car with Strongheart, Applejack, and Rainbow following behind. Once they landed, both Applejack and Rainbow saw the many dead bodies of caribou stags in the cart. "Sweet Celestia, I can't believe a little bunny like this did all this."

“Never underestimate the small things, for even they pose a greater threat than those bigger than life itself.” Strongheart pointed out. "Now, let's split up. Two of us will go free my people while the other two stops this train.”

“Got it!” Rainbow replied. Soon the group went in different directions. Strongheart and Applejack went to free the buffalos while BB and Rainbow went ahead towards the train itself. Rainbow and Bloody Bunny saw some Caribou Stags up ahead as Rainbow was ready to fight, but the bunny quickly moved swiftly as she jumped from wall to wall and sliced the throats of each stag. "Damn…" She muttered as each stag fell to the floor as they bled to death. "Remind me to stay on your good side."

Applejack and Strongheart were heading towards the back of the train. Searching each car while killing some caribou in the process. Though at the moment, they hit a sag when they came across a group of well armored crossbowmen aiming for the earth pony and buffalo. They quickly dodged the bolts fired upon them, however, they hit a random resistance fighter killing her. "No!!" Applejack called out before Strongheart quickly pulled her into cover. "They're gonna pay for that!"

“Give up you female bitches, you’ll ever beat the caribou empire!" A stag called out. "For King Dainn!”

"King Dainn this!!" Applejack exclaimed as she threw a dynamite stick right at the enemy which was lit.

“Oh fuc-” Before he finished, he and his group exploded while leaving a big hole in the train cart. Applejack and Strongheart quickly kept moving as they were making their way down to the caboose.

“This seems to be the last car, you reckon your kin are in there?” Applejack asked in curiosity.

"It's the only cart there is." Strongheart pointed out. "Let's hope this isn't a trap."

The two soon entered the car. Soon enough when they opened, they were horrified by what they had seen. There were corpses of some of the buffalos, mutalied, and had their horns cut off and left the bodies like this as it seemed they all were turned female. The only thing alive in the last cart was ponies who looked frightened in their cages. "Wh-What happened in here?" Applejack asked one of the mares with a shocked tone as Strongheart fell to her knees.

“By my ancestors…I’m too late.” Strongheart breathed out in despair.

"It was awful…" One of the mares in one of the cages spoke up. "After they turned the males into females, they were forced to be toys for their warbeasts… except they looked larger than usual and their cocks… too large for… for…"

“They were fucked to death!" Another one shouted with fear. "And took their horns for ivory! The warbeasts' dicks ripped up their insides and slowly died in front of us! They let their pets kill by fucking!” Applejack looked back at the dead buffalo on the ground before she clenched her fist as a dark look appeared on her face.

"They are gonna get it now…" She growled before placing a hand on Strongheart's shoulder. "We're going to avenge them, I promise you that." Strongheart pulled herself together before wiping the tears from her eyes and finding the strength to stand up. They then went over to the cages and let out all the mares. "Can any of ya’ll tell us where and when this happened?"

“A few days ago in Manehatten..." One of them answered. "We were suppose to be shipped to Canterlot to meet the demands of caribou lords for their ugg…fuck fest.”

"Rarity and the other gals are there now, let's hope they can put an end to them.” Applejack said before they felt the train being stopped. "Rainbow and the Bunny stopped the train, time to go."

"Wait!" Strongheart called out. "At least help me send my people off." Applejack looked at her with a sad look before nodding her head.

“Alright, for your people sugercube.”

With that the train made a complete stop. The ponies got off while Applejack was hauling corpses of Strongheart’s fallen brethren. It was a sad moment, Flash reached them and ordered them to search the train for anything useful. Little Strongheart stepped off the train and headed for a nearby cliff. She got on her knees and prayed to the spirits, wishing her people a swell journey in the afterlife. "Mind if I join you?" She heard a male voice ask before she turned to see Flash walking up to her. "You know, to pay my respects."

"Yes and thank you." Strongheart replied as Flash stood next to her and kneeled down. She then notices the others digging graves for her brethren as she lets out a sad sigh. "If only I had gotten to them sooner."

“You only do what you can." Flash told her with a soft tone. "But with us, perhaps there’s still time for the others. You can help us so then no one else will end up like your people. And I have to ask, where in Equestria did you meet a bunny that knows martial arts?”

“Who knows. It’s a messed up world we live in now." Strongheart replied with a shrug. "First these stags come to our land, offering friendship only to backstab us to become their sex slaves for life. Eventually I met Bunny here. The caribou had twisted everything, we have to stop them.” Bloody Bunny then hopped over to them as she patted Strongheart on the back. "I believe we can be of service to you. Plus, I was told by Applejack that most of your harem and Rarity are at Manehatten. I hope they can stop the operations that's going on there."

“I’m sure they will." Flash told her. "But I’m mostly mad that Rarity took off without telling me. First thing they teach you in military training is: Let your superiors know your activities or your own plans before putting them into practice. That was the first thing they taught me as a recruit.”

“Wow." Strongheart said before she stood up. "You were a recruit back then, and now you’re a general in the resistance army."

"I was a royal guard before the fall, still was and now I'm a general of a resistance." Flash explained. "It's a long story." He soon stood up and offered a hand to both her and Bloody Bunny. "So, are you both in? Because we could use a couple of creatures like you two. Plus, we need an idea of the land itself." Bloody Bunny accepted his offer while Strongheart looked at him for a moment as she blushed a little with that warm smile on his face.

“Alright, general. What’s my…how do you say…mission? Yes, mission!” She answered while looking a bit timid with her words.

“Your mission?" Flash repeated before he shrugged. "Well that’s simple. Go and scout out the town of Appleloosa, and report back to me in detail. And if you happen to find any animals that look very scared, let us know because Fluttershy is worried about her animal friends, especially Angel Bunny.”

“Will do, sir, and I’ll see about the animals!” Strongheart mentioned before she looked at BB. "You go with them, they will need your skills." The rabbit nodded as she drew her knife out.

Outside of Appleloosa, in the dark of night. Little Strongheart made her way towards the outskirts of town, watching the caribou guard, rape, and Celestia knows what in their. She could hear the sounds of crying, yelling, screaming, and monstrous roaring. But soon, her attention drew towards a building where all the glass windows were broken. It was Appleloosa’s town hall, covered with male buffalo's fur with King Dainn’s flag hanging on the ledges.

Strongheart quickly started a fire and used a special torch to send a signal flare for the resistance. Flash received the signal as he put on his mask and raised his sword. The resistance then charged at Appaloosa as none of the Caribou were ready for the attack when they hit the town.

A caribou guard was standing outside the entrance. He stood there as he felt the rumbling thunder beneath his hoofs. He soon looked beyond the horizon, and saw a dust cloud appeared. This confused him as the dust cloud was getting closer to the town. Just when he felt unsure, the warbeasts nearby felt threatened and let out a roaring of warning. Soon the caribou guard ran back in town and was ringing the alarm. “Alarm! Alarm! Incoming attack!"

The caribou that were doing their own things stopped and immediately were gathering their weapons. Some others had no time to put their pants back on as Bloody Bunny quickly moved in and sliced their throats. After that, she cut the collars off the mares they were raping before moving towards the next building.

Outside, the caribou clashed with the rebels. A caribou had cut down a random pony, only to be cut down by another pony. Flash cut through a stag with his sword, he freed that stag before slashing through at least five stallions to free them as well. A random caribou tried to backstab him, only to be saved by Aj. “You stay away from him!” She shouted as she smashed that caribou’s head with her warhammer. The battle raged, the caribou were getting beaten badly. One stag from the town hall decided to end this.

Little Strongheart was behind the scenes killing caribou inside a small house. She threw her weapon, killing one, and used the other to distract the other one. The buffalo cow then knee-kicked him which knocked him back before finishing him off. Right when the battle was coming to a close, a thunderous sound erupted. In a large barn, it made a loud bang.

The barn doors busted wide open to reveal a massive warbeast. Not just any warbeast, but an enhanced one at that. Bigger, stronger, and very uncontrollable. "I'm guessing that's the thing the mares were talking about that killed those buffalo." Rainbow mentioned before the massive warbeast charged at them. They all quickly ducked out of the way as it rammed right into a building and it collapsed on top of it. It didn't bring it down though as it burst out and charged again. Bloody Bunny quickly jumped from roof to roof before planning on top of the out of control Warbeast and stabbed its blade into its skull. This did nothing, as it swatted the rabbit away.

“Damn, can’t kill it that easily.” Flash noted as he caught BB.

"It's gotta have some weak spot!" Rainbow called out as the beast was still out of control and wrecking the town. "Maybe stabbing it in the throat or something!" Flash looked carefully at the beast before he noticed the guard in his sword glowed brown as if it was trying to tell him something. He decided to trust his instincts and the sword as he stabbed the ground with the sword and caused a shockwave. Just as the Warbeast was charging right at him, the ground shook as sharp rocks started to appear out of the ground before it stabbed the Warbeast right in the stomach, piercing right through its body and killing it right on the spot.

"How about that?!" Flash asked with an impressed tone. "Is there anything this sword can't do?" However, it was not over. A few more warbeasts were unleashed. Flash was about to use his sword again, only to be knocked out of his hands by a random stallion. The warbeasts continued their onslaught. "Hey, I'm trying to save us all!"

“Die traitor!” The stallion shouted before he was knocked out by Applejack before she tossed him his sword.

"Do yer thing, sugarcube." She told him with a loving wink before Flash nodded in response and stabbed the ground with the sword. He then took out the rest of the warbeasts while also trapping a few Stags and stallions.

Right when he finished off the monsters, a flying bolt came out of nowhere and nicked his cheek. “Ah!” He looked up to see a stag holding a crossbow with another load bolt and was about to fire again. "Oh you are so going to get it!" Flash called out as he flew straight towards that Caribou stag and swung his sword.

Back in Manehatten, Rarity and her group followed Dimora as she was tracking the scent to the source of the Essence supply while they were in the sewers. "I can't believe they're making this stuff right underneath the city, literally." Lyra complained.

"I'm surprised that they're making it in a sewer." Fleur mentioned with disgust.

"Don't talk unless we allow you to talk." Tanya told her with a glare.

"So, how much farther?" Tilia asked the female Diamond dog.

"I think halfway there." Dimora replied.

"How are you still able to track the scent with all the sewage?" Vinyl questioned her.

“My nose different, pony nose not strong enough." Dimora replied. "And diamond dogs can maintain absolute focus when tracking prey.”

"Good to know." Shine mentioned before Dimora stopped.

"Do you hear that?" She asked them.

"Hear what?" Octavia asked.

"Oh right, Pony hearing not good as Diamond dog hearing." Dimora said before she looked ahead. "I hear something coming from up ahead. It sounds like gears and stuff."

"What is it?" Rarity asked as they followed the Diamond dog towards the source.

The group got the source of the sound. It was a large room with machines that made clanking and clanging sounds. It had a lot of mineral rocks, and caribou operating them. They were grinding up the minerals to dust, Essence they called it. But that wasn’t the only thing they found. It was being operated by monks as one of them added a red dust into the Essence. That is not all what they were putting into as they noticed a few caribou cows and mares were entangled in a bunch of tentacle pods as they were being raped.

The males that were there collected the slime from each of those tentacle pods before pouring the slime into the concoction. "Oh my Celestia, so that's how they make that stuff?" Vinyl questioned with disgust.

"The slime from those tentacle pods does make any female's insides like they were in heat." Rarity mentioned before she glared at Fancy Pants and Fleur. "And we were forced to drink that stuff."

"We had no idea they poured that disgusting stuff into the concoction." Fleur whispered harshly. "So, what do you plan to do to stop all of this?"

"Well, since we all know that the sewers are filled with methane, we could always blow the place up." Talia mentioned. "But first we're going to have to get the females out of here."

“Yeah, first save the prisoners, then blow this shithole sky high.” Lyra noted. "But first things first, we're going to need a diversion." The group of girls then look towards Fancy Pants and Fleur.

"Why are you looking at us like that?" Fancy ask with concern.

“You of course." Rarity mentioned with a brow. "Consider this your first act of redemption/atonement. Help us by saving your fellow ponies, and destroying this cursed place, and we will consider forgiving you.”

"Oh dear…" Fleur whispered nervously.

"Hey, I thought you were a royal guard before you married Fancy here." Shine mentioned to Fleur with a brow. "Why so nervous all of the sudden? Wasn't it your duty to protect the ponies of Equestria?"

“It was… I retired when I married him and after they took over, I’ve become addicted to being my husband's sex slave." Fleur pointed out. "And I’ve grown into it. That, and I haven’t fought any fights since I married Fancy here.”

“Well instead of doing that, you could help in another way." Tanya told her. "They don’t know you talked to us, so you go in there and offer yourself to them. While we free the prisoners.”

"Wait, what if they use me for one of those tentacle pods?!" Fleur questioned fearfully. "I don't want to end up like them."

"Well, you might still know some tactical movements.” Rarity mentioned. “Flash said it when you learn how, it's like an Instinct that never leaves your mind. So you might still know how to fight when your life is put in danger."

Fluer thought about this and had a look of determination. She stood on her two legs while clenching her fists. “Very well then…” She said with a determined tone. “I once made a pledge when I served in the royal guard to protect Equestria. I pledged that I would protect Equestria, the princess, and my home. From all outside and inside threats. With my mind, my body, my soul. So I'll do it, for your general, your resistance, and our freedom!” Rarity and the others quickly covered her mouth when she declared that and quickly hid when the caribou monks heard something. The caribou monks looked up but saw nothing as they just shrugged and went back to work. The group then came out of hiding as they look down before they looked at Fleur. "Sorry, and wish me luck. And Fancy…" She gave her husband a loving kiss on the cheek before she headed down. “Let’s fix our beloved nation.”

Among the Caribou that were there was Avaar as he had a frustrated look on his face. "I just got word that the resistance is growing and with our own kind as well." He told the monks with a very angry tone. “If things keep going this way, we’ll be ruined! And no one will buy our product anymore!”

"Master Avaar." He heard a familiar please speak out as he turned to see Fleur walking towards him with a fake obedient smile on her face. "I apologize for interrupting, but this dumb whore got herself lost while trying to get some Essence for her master."

“Ahh, Fancy Pant’s bitch." Avaar groaned. "Well as much as I love to sell the stuff. However, my hands are full with the trouble the resistance has been giving us. And Lord Dainn wants these made on the double time before the resistance finds out! However, all these useless cunts keeps breaking before we could gather enough slime!!" The group heard that they are working the females till their minds break but knew that Flash will end up restoring them once they're free. "If you're here to beg for cock into you, I don't have time for you!"

"Uh actually Master Avaar, I am here because I got word that the resistance is hiding somewhere within the city." Fleur lied, which caught his attention which gave the girls and Fancy an opening to quickly move to where the females were being held.

“Are you saying those rebels are operating somewhere in this city, and you didn’t tell the general?” Avaar question as the group were right over the tentacle pods.

“B’-b-but the general won’t hear me out." Fleur replied innocently. "His guards just kicked me out, saying he’s being spooked or something.” Rarity and the girls then put in some nose plugs as to not let the smell from the tentacle pods freeze them up and let them be raped. "So I thought I would end up finding you and telling you about it considering you're much smarter than him."

“Well…In that case." Avaar said with interest. "Give it to me, and I’ll have this resistant pest control taken care of. That, and I will let you suck my cock for free.”

“Uhh…sure." Fleur said as she noticed Rarity and the others quietly lowering themselves and freeing the females in the tentacle pods by cutting off each tentacle. "But can you give me a moment to prepare myself? Cause I feel a bit dirty at the moment.”

“Sure, whatever. Washing area is at that very corner.” Avaar told her. "Just be mindful of the pods."

"I was uh… actually thinking about seeing your cock because I haven't seen it in a long time." She said as she was stalling for time. Sure enough, it was working. The unicorn mare was washing her body, cleaning off some outside filth. She decided to give the caribou a show by saying this. “Oops! I’ve dropped the soap! I guess I must reach down and grab it.” She then bent over showing her rear to the world, making Avaar and the monks horny. “Oh dear me, I’m such a clumsy bitch. My master punishes me for my clumsiness. This bar of soap is just so slippery.” She saw Rarity sneaking behind them as she went over to the cages and started picking each lock. "Oh I hope you punish me for my no good hands as they're only good for stroking cocks."

“Come on! We’re here to get you out!” Rarity whispered loudly but enough for the prisoners to hear. Soon the prisoners were coming out, however a random pony tried to get out only to get stuck between the doors.

“Shit, I’m stuck.”

"How are you stuck?" Rarity questioned.

"It's my ass, they made it too big." The mare replied before Rarity looked over at Fleur and motioned her to stall for more time.

“Oh!" She pretended to slip and fall on her butt as she presented her lower lips towards the Caribou monks and Avaar. "Please help me, my caribou masters. I am just so clumsy tonight~." Rarity was pulling on the stuck mare as the Caribou monks already had their cocks out. “Mmm, I think I broke something. Help…me” She said through her teeth to Rarity as she spread her legs wide open, making the horny stags want to jerk off right now. Avaar was now horny to screw.

He walked over to the pleading mare and dropped his pants. “Oh, I’ll help you alright, and I’m gonna pork a bastard baby in you, dollface.” He said before Rarity managed to get the mare unstuck before gesturing for her to run as Rarity pulled out her knives.

"Actually, you won't!” Rarity declared which caught every caribou stags' attention, including Avaar. “Attack!” She then summoned a shield barrier with her magic.

"You're still alive?!" He questioned it before he was suddenly kicked right in the face by Fleur before she jumped right off his face and over to Rarity. He rubbed his face before he felt a few of his teeth missing as he saw a few of them on the ground.

"Nice kick, Fleur." Rarity complemented with a grin.

"You were right, it was just like a natural instinct." Fleur replied before Rarity handed her a knife. “Let’s gut these animals!”

The fight was on as the two mares charged at the enemy. The monks scrambled to get ready for battle, but was distracted due to them being horny, so couldn’t concentrate on magic. Rarity slid on the ground as she sliced the legs of four monks while Fleur summer salted over five of them and slashed at their backs. "YOU BITCHES, YOU'RE SO GOING TO BE PURPLE WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU!!" Avaar shouted with rage as he charged at them both with an ax in hand.

Both of them looked at each other with a brow before Rarity used a diamond shield to block his attack while Fleur took Rarity's other knife and threw it right at his legs. Fleur was not done as she leaped over him and kicked him in the back of the legs to make him fall on the ground before pulling the knives out and stabbing his hands into the ground. "That's for making me and my husband betray our kind and land." Fleur told him with a firm tone. "And what happens next will be for everything else."

"Oh yeah, all you've done is make us fall to the ground with broken legs!" Avaar said with a look. "Once we recover, we're coming after all of you!"

"Here's a little tip for you." Rarity mentioned as she and Fleur picked up a large barrel lid. "If you're going to make something like you do down here, make sure it's not a sewer filled with methane. For methane is very flammable and explosive." Avaar's pupils shrink as he quickly realizes what the two of them were about to do next as Rarity used her magic to give the barrel lid they were on a big push. They then served through the sewers before they both used their knives against the brick walls to light a spark.

That spark was enough to ignite the methane and explode every sewer tunnel, including the Essence Workshop. It took out everything including the Caribou monks and Avaar with him. Rarity and Fleur held on to the barrel lid for their life as they were blasting out of the sewer.

Flash and the others soon returned back to the Castle of the Two Sisters as they brought along the freed Appaloosa citizens and a few other freed Caribou as well. They also brought along Strongheart and Bloody Bunny as they were in the medical ward of the castle. Fluttershy tended to Flash his wounds as she bandaged up his arm while he looked around at some of the injured members of the resistance. "The enemy is really stepping up their game." He muttered.

"That may be so, but so are we." Fluttershy mentioned. "Each town we end up freeing, the resistance grows stronger and our word gets out. We just heard that some of the ponies in a different part of a question are fighting back against the caribou when they heard there was hope."

"Ya know what that means." Applejack spoke up with a smile on her face as she walked up to him. "The Caribou are losing control and we're taking back our homeland." As soon as Fluttershy was done with Flash, she picked up Bloody Bunny as she began to snuggle her.

"Oh and you must have been so scared when the caribou hunted you and your family." She said with a concerning tone before she nuzzled BB. "But it's okay because you're part of a new family now and I promise to take care of you." Bloody Bunny had a small blush on her face as she was kind of liking the attention Fluttershy was giving her.

"Do you think Strongheart will be alright?" Rainbow asked the others as they looked over at the buffalo cow who was talking with some others. "I mean come on, some of her own kind were killed."

"As long as she has friends like us to comfort her, she'll be fine." Twilight mentioned as she walked over to them. "But do you think Rarity will be okay because she and the others haven't come back yet." Just as she mentioned it, Rarity and the group of girls came in with Fancy Pants, Fleur De Lis, and a few mares and caribou cows. They quickly noticed that both Rarity and Fleur's coats and manes looked a little singed. "What happened to you both?"

“Kill a drug lord, while freeing these fine ladies here.” Rarity replied.

"Yeah, by blowing up the sewers of Manehatten." Vinyl added. "It was pretty badass."

"Some of these females have broken minds and we're hoping that you could use your sword to fix them, Flash." Bonbon mentioned with a worried look.

"Flash Sentry?" Fancy spoke up with a surprised tone after seeing him. “How can this be? I saw you at Canterlot Castle just a couple of weeks ago."

"Changeling doppelganger spy." Flash replied before he stood up and took out his sword. "Now both you and your wife just hold still." They wondered what he was talking about before he swiftly swung his sword and the process of them being freed began as the cut on their bodies glowed bright. Once it died down, they felt like their normal selves again and Fleur's horn was restored as well.

"How did you do that?" Fleur asked with amazement as she was happy to have her horn back.

"Long story, I'll tell you both later.” Flash replied before looking at some of the injured females that were brought with. “Right now I have some work to do and we've got a war to win. By the way Twilight, did you send that letter to your brother and Cadance about the Crystal Heart and their baby?"

"Did it while you were gone and they replied that they're in." Twilight answered before she had a worried look on her face. "But they're very worried about the coming months since the caribou are expecting them to hand over their child after it's born and have it be trained to be a sex slave at such a young age."

"All the more reason to be ready when the time comes." Nightmare Moon said when she walked into the room and overheard everything. "I will continue to give the enemy nightmares so they'll be too tired to fight back while we free up the rest of Equestria."

"Well then, let's get some rest and be prepared for the upcoming battles ahead.” Flash suggested as he had a feeling it's going to be a very long few months until Cadance is ready to give birth.

Author's Note

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter, especially since I added Bloody Bunny into this. If you all are curious as to what she looks like, here is a image of said bunny:
