United we Stand

Gravity, how that work?

—(Doctor)—

I rush around the TARDIS and flip all the switches, bits, and bobs. Want me to be more specific, learn how to fly one of these and you’ll know I would spend a day explaining that one sentence. As much as I would love to explain all the technical terms of a TARDIS, I have no time.

I am aiming to arrive at Manehatten, and Twilight and I shall take it. Having two of the biggest cities flanking the enemies and taking more out as they run, is a wonderful option. We have kept the Combine in a constant state of retreat, constantly pushing all forces to Canterlot. A four front war is something that even the Combine cannot easily deafeat. And, when four armies all encircle and converge on one city, they will soon capitulate. I’ve seen our leaders, and if Kendrick can’t defeat them, I have heavy doubts that this Emperor could.

Now, I could beat each of our leaders, and I do have plans just in case. But I am clever, I am the Doctor, and I’m clever. Add on Kendrick with his high strength, and still respectable strength, and we could defeat any enemy. Now if all five of them came at us at once, we would be gone, but if one at a time... I have plans.

But this Emperor doesn’t seem clever, and he doesn’t have face to face conversations with the people he looks to defeat. He lacks intel, and I’m pretty sure he lacks sense, so I believe in our total victory against him. Although we don’t have any intel on him either, other than the fact that he has Nightmares power, rest her in peace. But even with that power, I don’t think he will even be able to say the word ‘chance’ before he no longer stands.

With a few more twists and turns, we land in the middle of the Provisional governments offices. I smile, “Twilight, we are here!”

Twilight looks at the door, and her horn lights up, “I am ready to free the ponies.”

I walk past her, and tap the screwdriver against her horn, knocking out her magic, “Bad Twilight, we go for prisoners, not corpses. I’m not Reznov!”

Twilight looks over towards me, “You’re still angry about that?”

I shake my head, “I’m not mad at him specifically, but what he did. I know who he is, the Soviet who is used to showing no mercy. And I cannot hold it against him because that’s simply how he was trained, how his brothers acted, how he was brought up. Executeing prisoners is something nothing should ever fall to doing, but I can understand why. I’ve even wanted to kill a few Combine at moments, because they have done much worse to us. But I’d prefer to stick to my own ideals, and spare them. After all, an alive prisoner is more useful then a dead corpse.”

Twilight smiles, “Well, it’s nice to see someone not affected by the violence.”

I look over towards her, “I’ve seen worse than this, much worse. I’ve already become accustomed to violence in my lifetime, I’ve gone through so much of it. Ever since War, I try to be a pacifist.”

Twilight nods, “Well, Doctor, we do have things to do.”

I nod, “Alright then.” I see the doors start to shake, “Oh, what’s this?”

I walk up to the door, and kick it open. It flings open, and I can hear a body go flying. I walk out and find a Combine unconscious on the floor, and something lies next to him. Twilight walks out as well, “What’s that?”

I pick it up, and look around it, “A Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator! Or, more commonly known as a Gravity Gun. I’ve always wanted one of these!”

Twilight walks up, “Then why not get one?”

I look over at her, “Does this look like it could easily fit into a suit without being seen? No, that’s why I chose the Sonic.”

She looks it over, “What does it do?”

I point it at a box, “You use this button here to pick something up.” I pick up the box.

Another soldier rushes in, “Hold it!”

I casually point it at the soldier, “And fire it like this.” I fire at the soldier, and knock them out. I smile at Twilight, “Quite an effective weapon, for lethality or more riot control situations where it should be non lethal. Based on the object you throw. Unless if you get the blue version, wich disintegraties a lot of things when the objects touch. Those are luckily rare, and this would be the yellow version.”

Twilight puts down some notes she was reading, “It says here that they have a blue version on the other side of the building.”

I pick up another box, “Then follow me my dear.” I pose with the Gravity Gun, “We have something to retrieve. And you can bet I’m going to have fun getting there.”
