//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Movement // by RedCharge //------------------------------// Movement Chapter 1 "Firebombing At Canterlot First Equestrian leaves 6 injured and 10 dead" The headlines had been getting worse all the time, and they would keep getting worse and worse and worse. The first ressitance to the tyranical regime was supposed to be a peaceful way to usher in princess Luna. Unfortunately that was nearly a thousand years ago. Very few still remained loyal to the true regime, and even less even know who is truly supposed to be in power. Now the few who still know who the true ruler of Equestria is are becoming more and more violent. The main area of resistance is right under our dictator's nose, Canterlot, the capitol city of Equestria. One could argue that it is the capitol of the world, however that would only be from the point of view of an un-educated mongrel serving Celestia. Those who don't know of the feud between the Luna and Celestia are blissfully carrying out their days with no thought of who else could run Equestria. And that's where we come in, we who still have faith in the republic and the return of Princess Luna to her rightful throne. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Arrow, we need to get moving" Winter Drift said to the dark brown Earth Pony as he finished painting the last part of the red 'L' on the public library. "Alright babe let's git goin" Arrow says as he looks around the corner for any gaurds, 'Clear' he thinks as he motions to his partner. "And if you ever call me 'babe' again I'll cut out your throat." she jokes as she gives him a peck on the cheek. The two then run through the streets posting fliers on the lamp posts. JOIN THE NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC AND RESIST A TYRANICAL GOVERNMENT. FIGHT FOR THE COMMON PONY. These were the typical posters that would plaster lamps all over Canterlot. The idea of course being that somepony would care enough to fight back against the injustice being served to them. Sure somepony would actually stop and read it, but nopony had the guts to stand up to the dictator they lived under. Sure if you lived in Canterlot and obeyed every single rule you had a happy life.But if somepony said they thought they saw you doing something wrong, *POW* straight to the moon. As suddenly as their happy moment had started, with them laughing, it had stopped. A royal gaurd had heard them laughing. "Hey you two, stop right there!" he yelled at the duo. Arrow most certainly didn't like Johnny Law coming down on them. "Race ya'" he said to Winter Drift, "First one to HQ without the stiff wins.", he said as Drift nodded in agreement, "Winner gets to be on top ,deal?" she said with a giggle. As they sped away in the dark to the New Lunar Republican Army's base they thought of each other's loving embrace. While Winter Drift joked alot about their love, it was certainly no joke to either of them. They were madly in love, despite the fact that they're parents had set up an arranged marriage before either of them could even stand up on all fours. It was a happy life for both of them, fighting against injustice in Equestria, running from the police, even theyre dingy and underheated hq was enough that they were content. As Arrow( who was next in line for the leadership if Luna never returned despite her sister's demise) got nearer to the HQ Winter jumped in front of him. "Guess I'm on top, again." she said as she laughed and deeply kissed Arrow, "Love you too babe" Arrow said jokingly,"What did I say about the whole babe thing? Hmm? Oh well, guess I still won, and thats good enough." they trotted in to the subterranian base next to the dumpster in Canterlot. As they entered the dimly lit "cave" made by the ressistance the elder ,Lord Scream said to Arrow,"Brother Arrow, how good it is to see you again, even under the worsening circumstances." Ever since Butterscotch Lights had been captured by the Secret police there had been worries of spies and the royal gaurd coming down on the last remnants of the resistance. he was a small, elderly pony with about as much mobility as a snail with a boulder on it's back.Scream was wise even beyond his advanced years and knew trouble was brewing for the resistance. Arrow shared in his feelings "My lord, we can only hope that Scotch will be rescued soon. Until then we have to keep a low profile." the events of tonight were by no terms, "under the radar" but that was low enough for Brother Arrow. "Winter, we should probably get some sleep, it's nearly sunrise." "Yeah it's getting kind of early isn't it." Winter looked at Arrow with her pale green eyes. Over time her pure snow white coat had become nearly as dark as Arrow's. But even with all of that dust, dirt, and soot she was still the most beautiful pony Arrow had ever laid eyes on.
