United we Stand: Equestria's revolution

The human code named Haze stood at the edges of Ponyville, along with Sithjjf and Dragon. The sky was ablaze above the three figures and anyone would have thought fireworks were launching, but the truth was that the UNOSE members, along with most of humanity, were sitting in their little one man jets shooting at the Equestrian army, who also sat in, either improvised, stolen or repaired jets of their own. The fire was either explosions or hits. The fight had been going on for hours, but the ground battle had been won and humanity was retreating. Haze looked to his two friends and smiled a bit. Sithjjf, still raw with the blood of the fighting, turned to Haze and nodded, as did Dragon. It had been a bloody, but gainful victory. Haze held his sledge hammer in one hand and the still slightly over heated pistol in the other. Sithjjf had come with his double barreled shotgun along with a small semi automatic machine gun. Whilst Dragon just held his heavy bolt gun in both hands. Smoke still rising from the long barrel which shot the bullets. The three stood silent staring into the waste land of Equestria for a moment until a building somewhere in the distance collapsed onto itself.

Haze was a young man in his mid thirties, short, scruffy brown hair and emerald green eyes, a small scar on his left check from a knife wound, he wore a white top underneath a leather jacket, plated by some black-brown coloured Equestrian metal. Haze was originally from Britain but had moved to America for a better life, the USA hadn't been affected as much with overpopulation, due to all the underground cities it had built with the war in 2088 with the Arab states to protect the people from bombings.

Sithjjf was a younger lad, well, late twenties, with brown-black hair and brown eyes. He held a picture of Celestia on his person at all times and openly had a crash on the Alicorn. The man held his shotgun loosely over his shoulder as he looked onto the land in silence. He had been born and raised in the great land of Australia and hadn't moved from there, well, until all the bronies were forced to move to Equestria on the giant transport ship named 'Celestia'.

Finally at the end of the line stood Dragon. He was a German man of about thirty-two, the German had been almost entirely all around the world and had a Pegasister girlfriend somewhere in the town. He was nearly two metres tall, average body size, lots of arm muscles and medium length straw-blonde hair, grey-blue eyes and a fully grown, masterly trimmed beard and held his nano saber to his side. The blade was much like any other sword, except it allowed the wielder the chance to easily deflect bullets as the blade itself was weightless. A small buzz of light shone from it if activated and it put up a small shield like object to protect Dragon. It was a good weapon, one only just brought in from Earth for UNOSE troops, but Dragon had found it and named it Nick for whatever reason. The three stood together in silence, just staring. Sithjjf twitched and moved his shotgun to a lower position at his side and Haze let in a deep, calm breathe.

"We won." Was all Haze said, it was all Haze had to say. It was true, all this time in slavery. All this time in the dark from the rest of humanity, not just Earth, Mars too, and the moon base. All of humanity had shunned the bronies, pegasisters and ponies out in the dark and cold. But no more.

"This is our doing." Sithjjf added. They were men of the age, leaders to everyone and everypony still enslaved. There would be liberty, there would be death. But hell, they would have their victory.

"We are leaders Sithjjf, leaders who will free Equestria." Dragon said. The other two men nodded. An explosion sounded as a jet was hit and fell in a ball of fire somewhere in the distance.

"Come on, let's get back into Ponyville." Haze said, they all nodded and turned to walk back into the town.

Only a few of the buildings remained standing, many were still on fire and the dead still lined the streets. Equestrian artillery had been encumbered in the cobble roads and were firing into the sky at the overhanging jets. Ponies and humans alike dotted the streets, doing their best to clean up. It would of been late afternoon, but with the two princesses also imprisoned in Canterlot, the magical sun and moon which they create had been put off so a person, or pony, was never sure what time or day it was. It was wonderful how the planet had been able to create life which then was knocked away from the sun and allowed the alicorn ponies to create their own star and moon. Giving more life to the planet. It was magnificent how it worked. Just by luck.

Dragons girlfriend, Flutterdash, ran up to the man and hugged him tightly, Dragon was so shocked by the embrace that he nearly dropped his nano saber. Sithjjf let a small laugh when he saw this and Haze also gave a smile. The sledge hammer becoming unbalanced and heavy suddenly.

"We did it." She said. The girl had long blonde hair, the same shade as Dragon's, she was slightly smaller than him and she had a good figure, blue sparkling eyes and long legs to make up her height. Flutterdash held a small machine pistol in her hand and had taken the clip out.

"Yes Flutterdash, we did." Dragon knew her real name, as did everyone around, each of the four knew their real names, they were just so used to the code calls that it came natural to them now. Dragon held on tight to Flutterdash for a few more moments before a coughing noise from Rainbow Dash sounded. Dragon looked down at the pony and his face went as red as Flutterdash's lips.

"We won guys, you saved us all." Rainbow Dash said. Her voice was hoarse from shouting and she had some blood in her mane.

"Not all of us. We still have a lot of ground to take before Equestria is free. I mean, look at the sky, that isn't no victory." Haze replied, pausing when an artillery cannon fired. Rainbow Dash looked sad for a moment but then brightened up again.

"Come on." Rainbow said, trotting away. Everyone looked to her. "What?" She said. "I need a damn drink." She added, Haze shuddered suddenly, he hated that the ponies had been learning human swears. Hated the fact that humans swore around them all together. Yet he was probably the worst at swearing. After an akward moment of still silence Sithjjf stepped forward to join Dashie.

"A drink might cool me down." He said. Haze nodded and laughed.

"Heck, not like we gotta get up tomorrow." Haze said. He had begun sounding very American since his travels there, that was, before the UNOSE decided to kick all bronies out. Haze looked to Dragon and Flutterdash before they too decided to come for a drink in what was left of the human built bar.

On the way everything in Ponyville were cheering for the five. One pony in the crowd shouted something Haze couldn't ignore.

"Speech!" The pony shouted. Haze did a small bow toward the pony and Sithjjf laughed. The five of them, despite everything in the past were grinning ear to ear. It had been a glorious day. Haze stepped up the wooden platform which was the stage outside the town hall. He looked to the faces of the ponies and people. Before he began there was a huge explosion in the sky, everything looked up to see the UNOSE flagship in flames, its fighters retreating and the pony forces running any stragglers behind. The radio just next to Haze buzzed to life.

"Ground forces, this is captain Twilight Sparkle, we have defeated the human- I mean, UNOSE flagship and they are retreating. Victory in the sky people. Also Rainbow, wish you was with us today. We won!" The radio buzzed aloud and everything roared up in victory again. Gunshots were fired and cheers bellowed from the crowd. Haze touched his arm wound a little and felt a damp patch. He would have to see Fluttershy, who was one of the revolts doctors. She was a good pony, one of legend, both here and the Brony religion. Suddenly everyone quieted down for Haze to speak. The human cleared his throat a little before placing his sledge hammer down to rest on the wood stall in front of him.

"Bronies, Pegasisters, Ponies. I am not a man of many words, but I can say a few things quickly. We won a great victory today over the rest of humanity. Many good people, and ponies died to get us here, but we have done it. Ponyville is a free town once more." Haze said, there was another huge roar from the crowd which only stopped when Haze raised his hand to say more. "But we are not finished in our quest for freedom. This is but one town. Equestrian UNOSE Central is based in Canterlot. That must fall before we are able to push them back. Many of you will question why we don't just attack it now. I shall tell you. UNOSE has far better technology in weaponry and jets. If we attack they would have an advantage in almost every way. We must gather more people, free more towns, so that the UNOSE learn that we are not just a bunch of rebels, we are a revolt. A revolt against everything UNOSE stands for and everything they put us down for. They think us second grade citizens, slaves to be used in Earth's technology and expansion. Well, soon they shall see. Soon they will see that we, we are Equestrians and we will stand, we will fight. And by Celestia we will fucking win!" Haze shouted, but before the crowd could launch a final uproar, a single gunshot sounded, and the hammer Haze had so openly balanced, fell to the floor. Sithjjf, Dragon, Flutterdash and Rainbow all gasped and let out a cry. Rainbow Dash ran over to Haze, people and ponies alike were looking for the shooter, after a moment another gunshot fired and a man somewhere near the back fell, gun in hand, the shooter had shot himself. Haze lay on his back gasping. He coughed up some blood and Rainbow tilted his head up. Flutterdash looked to Haze's breast. There was a lot of blood.

"Haze." Sithjjf said.

"Yeah buddy?" Haze replied quietly, slowly. Coughing more.

"Your be okay. Remember, you gotta for fill your damn speech, about us being Equestrians, and about kicking the UNOSE out. You have to Haze. Don't die." Sithjjf said. Watching his friend close his eyes. "Don't you fucking die!" Sithjjf shouted, holding back tears, he saw Dragon was as well.

"DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT FUCKING DYING ON ME!" Sithjjf bellowed at Haze. Looking to Flutterdash as she held down her jumper on Haze's wound. "Do something!" Sithjjf shouted. Dragon gave a glare at Sithjjf, something like "Don't talk to my girlfriend like that." But Dragon was too shocked to speak, Dragon actually fell to his knees next to Haze and stared.

"I'm a vet, not a doctor, I never treated gunshot wounds. Anyway, he. He's. He's dead. The blood flow stopped, his heart has stopped. I'm sorry Sith, he drowned in his own blood, the wound was too bad. He's dead." Flutterdash said, releasing the pressure  on his breast line. Dragon shoved his face into his hands and shook his head. Sithjjf just stared, coldly, calmly. Muttering one phrase over and over.

"Haze is dead."
