A grenade flew into the crowd, the ponies where the blast was were flung into the air. The sea was wearing down to a river.
A whirring of fan blades approached the fight, when suddenly an airboat cut through the crowd, firing a helicopter's machine gun mounted onto it. The pulses cut through the Combine force.
It stopped at a drift, Gordon Freemane jumped off. He fired a rocket launcher, creating a huge hole in the opposing force. Barney Ironbuck emerged as well. The remaining few of the Resistance continued through the streets to the new main Combine building. Suddenly, a burst of energy hit the side of the mass of Resistance ponies. Another burst hit the other side.
"We're at the suppression field, don't stop moving! Scatter!" A stallion shouted over the crowd.
The Resistance scattered into individuals. Ace galloped as fast as he could, into the building. Freemane galloped with him, turrets popped out of the floor and automatically fired. Combine soldiers galloped into the room, firing shotguns. Ace and Gordon Shot pulses into them, they fell to the floor.
Some resistance made it into the building, the rest fighting the forces outside. A stray gunship roared as it crashed into the building, smashing through the wall, sending a piece of the wall onto Ace. The energy bursts outside started to cease. Sparks shot from fallen wires, arcs bolting across the walls. A piece of ceiling collapsed, hitting a Combine soldier's body.
Ace awoke with a segment of wall on his body. Ace tried getting up, dragging his hooves across the floor. Suddenly, a piece of the ceiling fell onto him, burying him completely.
