Prologue

Prologue

Princess Luna, after Twilight Sparkle becoming Princess, was pushed into the background. Fifteen days after Twilight Sparkle's coronation, all other Princesses were found assassinated across Equestria, except Princess Luna. Princess Luna and her guards enforced a totalitarian rule over Equestria. A whole army was created by Luna, and Equestria was forced under her rule. The main six, minus Twilight, started an uprising against Luna, and Equestria has been a warzone for over two years. Over that period, all the main six, besides Rainbow Dash, have been captured and executed, killed in battle, or died of disease or another natural cause. Rainbow Dash is the sole General of the Equestrian Freedom Corps, and only hope for the land.

A shell rocks the underground bunker beneath Ponyville. The lights flicker, as Rainbow Dash and her group of armed guards, dressed in black coats and caps, walk down a hallway made of concrete. Rainbow Dash's right wing is bandaged, and she is scarred across her body, and her hair covers her left eye.. She and her guards arrive into a large room. Filthy ponies, armed with make shift guns and dressed in near rags are sitting around the room. Some are bandaged in different areas, some others have whole limbs cut off. "Alright! Form up!" Rainbow Dash yells as she walks in. The ponies quickly jump up and form a line. "Go count them, Wires." she says, turning to her right where a red, male pony with barbed wire as a cutie mark is standing. He nods and goes to count them. Rainbow turns to a blue female pony to her left. "Shells, take Ranger, go to the hospital, tell them they have ten seconds to assemble here." she says in an annoyed voice. Shells nods and heads to the other side of the room where a hallway is, followed by a green male pony, Ranger. Wires comes back to Rainbow and her remaining guards. "Exactly nine." He says as he takes his place on her right.

"Damn it! Who is missing?!" she says, shouting. The guard sighs. "Ronald." Rainbow Dash facepalms and in a low voice, says "Go find that bastard and bring him back here." Wires nods and heads to the other side of the room to the hallway. Rainbow slowly begins to tap her foot, the bunker still shaking. Wires comes back down the hallway, followed by an orange pony. "Finally! God damn it! Ronald, get in the fucking line, Wires, by me." she says angrily. Ronald forms up and Wires returns to his position. Shells and Ranger come back out of the hallway as well, followed by atleast a dozen other ponies. Shells and Ranger reform on Rainbow, and the other ponies form a line behind the other ten formed earlier.

"Alright! We are being shelled by Luna's forces up top, as soon as they stop to reload, I want all of you to up top and charge their lines. Remember, no retreat. no cowardice, and no fucking up." Rainbow says, addressing her men. "All of you, on me. We're heading to the entrance." She turns and heads back down the hallway with her guards. The ponies form one long line and follow down the small hallway. After walking a short distance, they come to a staircase. They take it up to the top level, where they then proceed to a large room. The room is guarded by two automatic turrets, facing a large metal door, presumably leading topside. The turrets are powered by a small generator nearby. Rainbow and her guards make their way to the door.

"Form up!" Rainbow says as she turns, facing the ponies. They form the same lines as before, in the same order. Rainbow shakes her guards away, as the four guards split into two groups, two on each side of the door, near large cranks. Rainbow shakes her mane, revealing an eyepatch over her left eye. She points to a large box to the side of the room. The ponies walk over and open it, revealing some kevlar and ammunition. They put the kevlar on, and load their weapons with the ammunition. They walk back over and form up in front of the door. Rainbow smiles slyly, and shouts "Remember, no fucking up!" she nods to both teams of her guards, and moves to the side of the large metal door. The guards crank the door, opening it and revealing a large, long staircase upwards to a pair of doors. Rainbow takes her place in front of the ponies, and they wait for the shelling to stop. After a few minutes it stops, and Rainbow looks upwards, to the doors with moonlight shining into the stairway.

"Alright! Go go go!" she says, running up the stairs, followed by the pony soldiers. She reaches the top relatively quickly, and opens the doors, revealing a burning, shelled out Ponyville. She grabs a pistol out of her holster, and looks to Canterlot, surrounded by a dark forcefield, with large artillery guns facing the town. She looks back down the stairs, to see the ponies finally reaching the top and racing out the top. They run in and around the craters, heading to what seemed to be trenches.

Rainbow waits until all of the ponies get out of the stairway, then awaits her guards, who come shortly before closing the door from the outside.
