Luna asked as Trevor drew a throwing knife flipping it casually in his armored hand. "With all of us leading the rebellion our chances are rather high. With the Diamond Dog Alphas helping rally the slaves our chances go up even higher." Trevor stopped flicking the knife to focus more on his hearing. "Scout is coming back along with a few others. Be on guard." Tengu drew her sickle ready to strike at the first sign of hostility. Scout rounded the corner to see Trevor, Luna, and Boulder at the ready in case it was an ambush. "Brought other Alphas." Scout said happily as four Diamond Dogs and a single Earth Pony stallion entered the tunnel. "Who are they Boulder?" A female Diamond Dog asked pointing at Trevor and Luna. "New Slaves for Pit?" She asked sizing them up. "Calm Granite. Trevor is Friend. He want to destroy Pit." Boulder vouched for them but the Alphas were still skeptical. The Earth Pony only scoffed. "Of course two of the most wanted people are in this damn Pit. Princess Luna and Trevor. One a dethroned Princess and the other a 'Pardoned' suspect. If these two are all that is going to help me we have no fucked chance." Luna seethed with barely controlled fury only to be calmed by Trevor tapping her shoulder. She glared at Trevor who only made a motion to tell her to calm down. She relented for now only because Trevor had the situation in hand. "Doesn't that make us your best chance?" Trevor asked as the Alphas look at him in confusion. "I mean think about it. No one is coming to save you except us. Seriously if you don't want our help getting out of this hell hole then by all means say so. I will gladly cut your tongues out so you can't give away out position or our plans. We are trying to save your lives from this pathetic life and you want to throw all of that away because Sombra took her throne and I made a mistake in my past?" Trevor only shrugged crossing his arms. The other Alphas took a step back from how casual he threatened them except for the Earth Pony Stallion. "You think I am afraid of you? A complete disgrace from Equestria?" He asked only for someone to clear their throat behind the Alphas. "I suggest you shut that mouth of yours before you piss him off." Master Tanuki stepped out of the shadows her trademark fan unfurled in front of her face. "The troops are ready to begin our assault we just need The assistance of the workers." Trevor nodded his head smiling. "Thank you master. As you just heard we are ready to begin the assault. So it's time to decide." Trevor held his hand out as Tanuki handed him his own fans. "Join our cause and earn your freedom." The Alphas were silent for but a moment. "We join." A female alpha said slamming a fist against her chest. "Pit need go." The other Alphas agreed to assist and now it was time to tear this place apart. "Master Tanuki. Send the signal to begin the assault. Bring it all down and leave none who stand against us. Free them all." Master Tanuki bowed before disappearing into the shadows once again with not a sound. "Welp time for the fun part." Trevor said with a stretch walking into the tunnels unfurling the fans as he walked. When he made it to the main ravine an explosion rocked the cavern shaking the very foundations as the screams of battle kicked off. "Shall we Master Trevor?" Tankui said beside him and he couldn't help but chuckle. "But of course Master Tanuki. The winds shift with our wills so let us summon a hurricane of change for those who join us." Trevor heard a group of slavers making their way towards Tanuki and himself. "Loud Style: Joy." Trevor dropped low holding one Fan behind his back and the other covering his face. "First Form: Dance of The Blooming Spring." Tanuki Took up a similar pose except her left fan was extended above her head and her right fan was lowered towards her toes. "GET THEM!" A slaver yelled out as the small group of five charged with clubs and whips. Trevor charged forward his fans slammed close as he deflected a club aimed at his head. The fan unfurled with a loud snap before the blades glided through the throat of the one who swung fist. A whip was being swung at him only for a fan to fly true cutting down the attacker. Tanuki flicked her wrist as a new fan took it's place. Trevor stepped forward spinning on his heel as his fans once again found soft flesh cutting down another. Two remained and just from their aura's there was only fear gripping them. "Come on I expected more from all of you." Trevor pouted closing his fans as another explosion rocked the cavern. "I expected so much more opposition than this." One of the remaining Slavers rushed Trevor only for the fan to crack him across the cheek. Tanuki was on him in an instant beheading the slaver with no mercy. "You keep so many slaves in line with such a small force. I don't know whether to be disappointed or impressed." Trevor opened a fan fanning himself like the fight no longer mattered. "So I am gonna borrow you good slaver. And you are gonna answer some questions for me. Tanuki if you would kindly take him." "It would be my pleasure." Tanuki said walking towards the slaver who looked like he was about to run for his life. "Oh please do run. It's been a while since I had a good chase." Tanuki smiled as she closed her fans preparing to take off after him. The Slaver was smart enough to drop his weapon. "I don't get paid enough to die for them. What do you need to know?" The slaver raised his hands in surrender. "Oh you're no fun." Tanuki said as she walked past the slaver retrieving her fan she had thrown. "Could have at least made the attempt." She continued to pout grabbing him by the arm. Tanuki might have looked dainty and frail but the pressure she exuded on the slaver's arm spoke of crushing strength. and the slaver knew he made the right call surrendering. "Take him to the others and we can interrogate him. This should be over shortly." Trevor said closing his fans with a loud snap as he stood listening the the battle around him die out.
