The dim day was at its peak. Dry air sweep through the dead trees. It hit the camp of the ponies, but it didn't bring their hopes down. DawnShy was working on setting things up. She didn't have much to work with though. The green pegasus looked over at the other ponies. There was much more then twenty now. A few others were working with the Linkin Ponies, helping them get things. Metal, for armor, tools.....and instruments.
When they got their, all the ponies greeted each other. There was a happy tone in the air. Ponies as a community.
"I'm not making all the armor for these ponies." SpinningNote said.
"You don't have to. We are all going to work on armor together." ThunderCharm told him. "And there is a pony who knows how to forge better then anypony. He's the best blacksmith you could Find" She turned around and waved her hoof.
A gray- green earth pony stepped up. He was a young stallion, with a sharp cut back mane. He gave them a serious look.
"This is SilverBlade. He knows a bunch about making things from metal, and I'm sure he can show others." ThunderCharm said.
"You need to show me how to put the pure energy in it." SilverBlade said in a flat tone.
Spinning nodded. "Okay, and I'll show you how you can not blast your eye out with the energy." He said sarcastically. Then they both went back over to a part of the camp.
Then BlackOut came from the left. "What about hybrids. Will we need to fight? 'Cause I can Fight."
"That's if we get in trouble with hybrids." ThunderCharm told him.
"Or if we get raided by hybrids." FeatherTune said out of nowhere.
They all stared for awhile. That would be horrible. There would probably be more hybrids then ponies. CharmingRhythm looked over at EchoBeat who was think hard about that.
"You don't talk much, do you?" BlackOut said.
EchoBeat shook his head.
HyperBlitz put his hoof around him. "He's shy, but that's okay!"
Rhythm smiled and looked at HyperBlitz. "You two are like polar-opposites. Echo is quiet and shy, and you are loud, and dare I say- Hyper."
"It's my job!" HyperBlitz laughed.
ThunderCharm shook her head. "So what song are you guys playing?"
"It's a secret." HyperBlitz said with enthusiasm.
"Let's say it's one that will get you on your hooves." CharmingRhythm explained." We picked one that will somewhat relate to the world, like the messenger. But this one is definitely more exciting."
"I can't wait!" ThunderCharm said.
"You wouldn't mind cussing though? Since there are some little ponies here." Rhythm then asked.
"I think it's fine. It's Music!" ThunderCharm cried out with joy.

They all took positions. The crowd was farther back, since this song had amp on it. SpinningNote hit a button, and it played a recording:
"There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop."
Suddenly the music crashed in. CharmingRhythm and HyperBlitz both jumped. Rhythm raised his hoof and waved it. "Hooves up like this y'all!" The ponies in the crowd followed.
"To save face , how low can you go
Talk a lot of game but yet you don’t know
Static on the way , make us all say whoa
The people up top push the people down low
Get down
And obey every word
Steady getting mine if you haven’t yet heard
Wanna take what I got, don’t be absurd
Don’t fight the power, nobody gets hurt
If you haven’t heard yet then I’m letting you know
There ain’t shit we don’t run when the guns unload
And no one make a move unless my people say so
Got everything outta control
Now everybody go"
--
HyperBlitz flew up and slammed on the ground with force.
--
"Steel unload , final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now , clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you"
--
Then Rhythm got back to the front.
--
"So keep pace, how slow can you go
Talk a lot of shit and yet you don’t know
Fire on the way , make you all say whoa
The people up top and the people down low
Get down
And I’m running it like that
The front of the attack is exactly where I’m at
Somewhere in between the kick and the hi hat
The pen and the contract
The pitch and the contact
So get with the combat , I’m letting ‘em know
There ain’t shit you can say to make me back down no
So / push the button let the whole thing blow
Spinning everything outta control
Now everybody go"
"Steel unload , final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now , clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you
Steel unload , fire blow
Filthy animals , beat them low
Skin and bone , black and blue
No more this sun shall beat onto you"
"From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high"
--
then all the ponies followed along with CharmingRhythm and chanted with their hooves in the air.
--
"From the front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high
Front to the back and the side to side
If you fear what I feel put 'em up real high"
--
As the song ended, CharmingRhythm shouted out "You hear me ponies? We're gonna take back our world!!!" All the ponies then cheered.
