—(Survivor)—
I look around the room... that’s it? That’s all that happend? All that build up and we simply end it like that?
Well, at least I can return to peace and go back home.
*Crash!*
“What the fuck!?” I shout out in suprise as the entirety of the mountain shakes.
“Ahhhhh!”
I hear ponies screaming outside, before a booming megaphone assisted voice speaks up.
”Do not flee, do not run! Surrender, and join! Citizens of the world, Equis, lay down your arms and surrender to us!”
I can hear strange sounds rumbling all around Canterlot.
*Bang!*
The door to the throne room bursts open. In come rushing what look like people wearing grey suits and gas masks, they point futuristic looking guns at us, ”Lay down your weapons!”
All of us simply stare at them, ”Do it, now!”
*SNAP!*
With a loud snapping sound, the people all start to die. One seems to choke on his mask, one is turned inside out, another is crushed by an anvil, and the final one receives a crowbar to the forehead.
I spin around to see Discord floating there. But, he doesn’t wear a smile, instead he looks deathly serious, “They will be back soon, with many more then they sent this time. You all need to escape. You cannot face them alone, you need time and support.” He looks at all of us, and holds up his talons, “I’ll send you all away from here.”
He snaps his talons with one last word, “Run.”
*Snap!*
With a bright flash of light, everyone else is teleported away, “Survivor, I am so sorry.”
I look up at Discord, “My equipment is magic resistant, there is nothing you can do for me.”
He deflates a bit, “I am so sorry, I cannot do anything, my talons are tied!”
I nod at him, and pull out my MP40, “They will be back soon, you need to escape. They need support, they cannot face them alone. Discord...”
”Run.”
*Snap!*
I look at where he was, and turn around to face the door. I put the MP40 against my shoulder, and take aim, “Come at me you sons of bitches, I’m waiting!”
Some of the people turn the corner, and see my sights lined up on them.
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
“Come on you motherfuckers!”
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
“Humanity! Stands! Strong!”
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
—(Raven)—
The group of us all snap into reality in a random field, five of us... wait, five?
Courier, Chem, Avatar, Slendy, and me, but where’s Survivor?
*Snap!*
I turn around and face Discord as he pops into existence, his face full of guilt, “Where the hell is Survivor!?”
He faces me, “He wore magic resistant armor, he... he told me to run. I ran! I left him there on his own!”
We hear a voice from a distant mountain.
”Humanity! Stands! Strong!*
Then we see what’s around the mountain... ships, hundreds of grey ships all dropping differnt things.
”Citizens of Equestria, your government surrenders! All hail your new emperor! All hail the Combine Empire!”
We look at each other, and Discord looks at the mountain with sadness, “Survivor is dead. He cannot have gotten out of that. He’s... he’s dead.”
I look at everyone, seeing the rage in their eyes, “This Combine Empire thinks it can come here, and kill our friend without getting its payback!? It thinks we will sit back and allow this to happen!? No, we will never give in! Friends, Discord, we continue our revolution! Stalliongrad, Hollow Shades, Skyrim, we must lead them against these new fuckers!”
The others all nod, “Yeah!”
I look at everyone, “And to do that, we need a vehicle to move between them. Me, Chem, and Avatar will all work on rest of you should go around and search for anyone unusual, I sense a few new life forms not from this universe other than us, and they can help.”
The others all nod as I look back up at the mountain, “The Survivng Union, that is what we shall be called. Gentlemen, today we restart a revolution in the name of our lost friend. Let us go.”
—(???)—
We plug the unconscious person into the console, “So, this Survivor man, why are we useing our memory replacement device on him?”
One soldier who’s helping fills me in, “He showed very good fighting skills. The Emperor himself asked us to knock him out instead of killing him. He plans to make him a captain for this worlds invasion.”
I look at the task force sitting around the device, “Okay, the task force is ready to go in and change his memory. Initiating in 3... 2... 1, go.”
—(Plauge)—
These external men walk through Survivors mind, corrupting it. I sit outside the inner sanctum of his mind, the part no one but me and him should be able to touch.
“Team, halt! We have an illusion!”
I look up to face them, “This is his inner sanctum of the mind. You are not allowed to enter. Turn back now.”
They continue towards me. I sigh, and stand up, “Team, advance!”
I draw out my sword in a clean motion, “So be it then.”
—(???)—
“Ahhhhhhh!”
The task force starts to scream out in pain. I quickly rush over to check on them... dead. Something in his mind killed them. No matter, it was 99% done anyway, he cannot break out of it.
—(Survivor Commander)—
I wake up from my cot, and quickly rise up and equip all of my weapons.
A doctor walks in, “Commander, you’re awake. You were injured on your trip to this planet, and we had you recovering.”
I nod to him, “You don’t have to tell me I was injured, I remember it pretty clearly. Tell me, what squadron do I lead this time?”
“Red squad, Commander. Emperor thought it would be funny to assign you to a squad that matches your glowing mask.”
I nod, noticing the trademark red glow that comes from my mask’s eyes, “Lead me to them.”
—(Plauge)—
I observe Survivor, seeing the effects of the mind change. Even his mask glows now, like mine except red.
There is a 99% chance he won’t break through, and the Combine believe they have him in the bag...
They don’t know him.
They don’t know us.
“Humanity stands strong, brother. Humanity stands strong.”
