Throwing off the Chains

Chapter 2

------------------------------------------------------Still Twilight's Perspective------------------------------------------------------

I sent Spike to get Applejack and Pinkie while Rarity went and got Rainbow and Fluttershy. When Fluttershy came closer I could see that she looked almost euphoric (go look it up. I'm too lazy to tell you.). That was a surprise. Didn't she know that without the humans digging out gems all the appliances would soon stop working!

"Twilight What the hell happened out there. I could hear the shouting from my cloud house!" exclaimed Rainbow.

"Well Rainbow, the humans have apparently remembered something and now they're sentient and running around in the everfree." I said. If anything it was that Fluttershy's smile grew even bigger.

"The Princess has told us to come to Canterlot apparently they had the same thing happen." I said.

"Darn, Ah was hopin' to have some o' them work on the barn this morning." said Applejack. Then there was an almighty flash and Princess Luna was standing before me.

"THOU ARE TAKING FAR TOO LONG!" she RCV'ed at us. "Thou shall come with us now." she said much quieter now thank Celestia, and with that she teleported us to the throne room.

"Ah, my faithful student it has been far too long since we last saw each other." said Celestia warmly.

"Princess we saw each other after Discord was vanquished." I said confused.

"Oh, right. Anyway as for why you're here. Luna?" she asked.

"Fine sister. About 1,002 years ago humans were their own race and lived outside of Equistria. They were quite warlike and vicious. They constantly fought each other, we watched in case they went after the our kingdom. However three little fillies managed to sneak past the guards to watch. I did not know at this time that it was pure accident but the pegasus filly got hit by a spear. It was not a mortal blow but I lost my head. I made a spell that created the humans we used to know." she said looking quite sorry for herself.

"Girls, I believe that when the elements of harmony were used to undo Discords chaos it also broke the spell upon humanity." Said Celestia. "Now that they're free I believe that they will declare war on us."

"Ha! They would sooo get their flank kicked in a war against us. " Said Rainbow.

"No, Rainbow the humans stand a very good chance of winning because they're smart and can become as strong if not stronger than an earth pony with the right exercise. Unicorns magic will only be as a quarter of effective against them. And the pegasi stand the best chance but not a perfect one. The humans are very quick to learn mistakes and will rally if one of them is injured." said Celestia.

"Only a quarter of effective Princess?" I asked confused as to how the humans were resistant to our magic.

"Have you ever tried moving a human with magic?" Asked Luna

"Well, no" I said.

"You would have an easier time lifting a full grown dragon than lifting a single human." Said Luna. "We do not know why this is but it is."

"Why did they announce that stuff?" Asked Pinkie speaking for the first time.

"Probably for the shock and awe effect. But no more questions for now. We are getting to the reason why you're here.We believe that the raw power of the elements combined with our power will be enough to completely remove the humans from Equis." said Celestia

"Where will they be going?" asked Fluttershy.

"Do we really care?" said Rarity. "They are obviously hostile!" indignantly pointing at the lump on her head.

"Not now it is time to prepare." said Celestia.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------Will's perspective---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The look on the face of those ponies was PRICELESS they were so shocked that we could speak let alone run that fast. I guess Rainbow Dash helped us in a way. I was nearing the castle when a flood of memories came in to my mind. I was remembering my family. I could even remember my mother and father and their names. Howard and Marie. Our surname was Robinson and we were once part of the ruling class. I got to my feet and ran faster and faster determined to find my parents. They were standing outside of the castle waiting for me. Tears streamed down my face as I ran into their embrace for what seemed like the first time. We stood there hugging for at least a minute before pulling apart. I couldn't be angry at them for they didn't even know I was their son. It was a thanks to the ponies. We walked inside and found humans also rebuilding families and shouting their praises to the sky. Anyone who lost their parents were immeadiaty snatched up by other families and made a member.

The repairs to the castle began the next day. Me and about 100 men went down to the cliffs on the opposite side of the river and slowly but surely began to remove chunks of stone to be made into brick for the walls. My mother and about 50 women were making glass out of the sand to replace shattered windows. About 50 more men and women were inside the castle cleaning it from top to bottom. Removing dust and plants and vermin. The military or what was left of it began to chop down trees and make longbows from them. Still others were cutting down trees to make furniture. It took about three months and about 50 monster attacks to finish the job and claim it as our territory. We then began to mine downwards and began to mine the iron ore to make armor and weapons. One clumsy scientist inadvertently made steel by knocking over something. Once steel was created it was used to reinforce doors and replace the old iron weapons. Our community was growing we were reaching 2,000 of us and about 1000 in the military. We were almost ready for revenge.
