Long live the princess

Canterlot

30/12/4 A.R.L. (1 Day until New Years Eve)

21:33

On the night before of the big day, twenty guards were on duty. Each one had a matching scarf and hats to protect them from the chilling winds. Shining Armor was on duty this night, a steaming cup of hot chocolate, taking small sips at a time. His spear ready at all times. Unaware that terror was only mere days away…

1000 yards away

Three guards flew about they were air traffic control so they were in charge of making sure there was few to none flyers. Since a major holiday was upon them, they had to keep Pegasi, hot air balloons, and Blimps from entering Canterlot air space. They only had to deal with a few messenger ponies, including a googly eyed blond mane mare with saddlebags filled with letters going to Canterlot. Sadly due to the amount of ground delivery ponies on vacation, there were too many letters to deliver, so regulation was required. They were about to head back, when they saw large pack of Pegasi coming toward them. The leader was suspicious and told two of them to head back. As the two started to leave, they both yelled and then fell to the river below.

“Cirrus! Anvilhead!” the captain yelled as two of his men fell like
rocks down to the river bellow. The captain looked at the Pegasi in rage, he noticed two of them had silenced rifles ejecting out of their bracelets. The one in front flew forward, white coat, red and white mane and tail. He looked at the captain with his darkened eyes, ejecting his pistol from his bracelet, slowly aiming it up at the captain’s head. The captain simply bowed his head, waiting for the bolt to pierce his skull. Before he could breath his last breath, his life was cut short, and his lifeless corpse fell down. The lead pony removed his hood, reveling a black tattoo on his once perfect white coat. His fellow Pegasi uncloaked, reveling their guard uniform. The Pegasi grinned as three Pegasi flew forward, one caring a unicorn and another caring an earth pony.

“Initiate Plan B-401” he said looking at the Canterlot Palace in the distance, “Judgment Day”
The Attack has begun…

“Sir, the Traffic Control squad has arrived, they have also brought in a few rebels. They are being sent to the prison as we speak” A royal guard informed Shining Armor,
“Good, tell the Princess Celestia that I will be heading to the prison, It’s the day before New Years Eve and I don’t want anything to happen on tonight of all nights” Shining Armor said, finishing the rest of his paper work. Kissing a picture of his wife before heading out.
Canterlot Prison

22:50

The three rebels ponies trotted to the courtyard of the prison, looking out to the sea of prisoners. Zebras, Minators, Ponies, some Horses and a few Donkeys. They smiled at each other; there were at least 5 maybe even 10 thousand animals in here alone. Enough to conduct the plan, they nodded off and started to work. Each one of them with their own set of plans, recruit, reduce, and rearm, then finally regroup.

The first one was named Doctor Plasmid, a light red-coated unicorn with slate colored eyes and grayish mane and tail. His cutie mark had a small bomb with a lit fuse. Before joining New Order he was a Chemist and a well-known Pyrotechnic studying abroad, learning about new firework techniques, explosive materials as well as elemental effects on material. He also invented a new form of explosive, in-explosives. The effect of it is in the name, instead of exploding like any old bomb, it would suck in anything near it, and then scatter it. From piles of dirt, to actual test subjects. In fact that was why he was here, they said his methods of experimentation were a bit too unequine or cruel. He was about to face the gallows when Tether Wing and his men ambushed his convoy.

The second one was named Arachnid, a dark green-coated earth mare with dark blue eyes and acid green colored mane and tail. Her cutie mark was a black spider. She was an Anthropologist (Look it up), and she spent most of her life living in the Zebra homeland of Zebrica, deep in its jungles. By the time she left she had cataloged 106 different species of spiders, including the elusive and very rare Red Widow, a spider whose venom is so potent, its enough to temporarily or even permanently paralyze a fully grown Alicorn. Her trip had gone from a dream to a nightmare when a tribe of meat eating zebras abducted her. She was on her way to her fiery demise when a Zebra stallion ambushed them, rescuing her and killing off the cannibals. The Zebra taught her how to defend herself against attackers, how to use the poison of animals to her advantage, and taught her how to use spider techniques of stealth and capture. She fell in love with him and she had even gotten pregnant. However, when she had returned to Equestria, Celestia was there to greet them. She quickly shot a beam of deadly magic to her lover, leaving only a pile of ashes. Even now she never knew why she had done it, but not soon after this she had given birth to her daughter, Florence. Now she was working with the New Order, not only for the death of her lover, but also for a better future for her daughter.

And lastly was a black coated, Pegasus by the name of Blood Money. His mane and tail were red and blue, and his eyes were a blood red color. He was a hitman, plain and simple, but he probably has the most recorded hits in the history of Equestria. Give him enough bits and he would assassinate the princesses. He was ruthless; cold hearted, gave no sympathy to others and hated arrogance and ignorance. He hated it because his friends and family were all killed because of some arrogant asshole that thought he was such a big shot stallion. When reality hit him, and hit him hard, he snapped. Killing everyone he cared for. The whole event had made him hollow inside. Tether Wing had hired him when he lost to a game of poker in Las Pegasus. Blood’s background is pretty simple, trained with the Griffin Special forces, veteran of the Four-year war and the Poviet war. But instead of being welcomed as a hero, his own ponies shunned and ridiculed him for being a soldier. “Murder, Killer, Scum, Low life, Life Stealer” Those were the names they yelled at him when he returned for war. Ponies weren’t very fond of conflicts; in fact they down right hated soldiers. They protested, held rallies and even signed petitions to ban the use of magic in warfare. He this is what made him slowly hate the arrogance of his own ponies.

The three of them met at the courtyard of the prison, Blood had a small map he’d gotten from a prisoner. He spat it out at unfolded it.
“Okay so… We’re here, in the northern wing. According to this, the armory is in the eastern wing, security room in the southern wing, and finally captains quarters in the western wing as well as the barracks” He said circling areas that are important with a red pen. “The main exit is in the southern wing, so we’ll meet up there. Arachnid, you use your feminine charm to convince the prisoners to riot” He said looking up to the mare

“Your lucky that we need you, if not I would gut you right now, but alright” she said brushing some dust out of her mane.

“Note taken. Now that leaves the armory and security room to you Doctor Plasmid”

“Indeed, time to test out my new bunker busters!” he said pulling out an intimidating device that was just glowing with power.
“Carful with that” Blood said shoving the devise back in Plasmid’s bracelet “And that leaves my part”
“And that is?” Arachnid asked
“Take out the guards, and if I’m lucky, the warden” Blood said, showing them his concealed crossbow that he stashed under his wing. They nodded, “Any questions?” he asked again, and Arachnid raised her hand jokingly. Blood chuckled and pointed at her.

“What’s the plan again?” She asked, Blood calmly took a breath and then started to state the plan.

“Okay, First, Plasmid goes in the security, taking out any guards that are there. Then, once that’s done, turn off the cameras and lights. That’s when I attack the barracks and make my way to the warden’s office. Meanwhile, Arachnid will rally up the prisoners and lead them into the Eastern wing and to the armory, take weapons, armor, and ammunition. Once that happens the prison will be in a mess, and that’s when I’m suspecting the K.O.P.S to arrive. That’s when I want you, Plasmid, to engage the prison’s defenses and that should take out most of them, and the prisoners will take out the rest. Once all this is done, we’re supposed to rendezvous at the city center to join up with the Unicorn and Earth Pony Assault teams to make a final stretch to the palace. With all the Chaos, the boss will be able to take out the royalty and by the end of the day, Canterlot will be in ashes.” he wrapped up before the guards started to herd the prisoners and the group started to disperse.

“OH, but I forgot to mention. Plasmid”

“Yes”

“Disable the security at exactly 23:59:55”

“Uh… Got it I guess” and with that they dispersed going into their individual rooms and rested. Tomorrow is going to be a big day…
