Night 4 Taking Back Sweet Apple Acres
You're going to like what you read tonight, guys! Things are looking up!
Sweet Apple Acres once again belongs to its rightful owners--the free ponies of Equestria!
Everypony here has seen the episode with the zap-apples, right? Stormcloud may control the weather, but when the zap-apples bloom, the weather has a mind of its own. No other ponies know the signs like AppleJack, so when the weather shifted so suddenly, she called the "move out!" and our ponies sneaked in under cover of darkness.
As the enemy was looking up at the sky, the diamond dogs quickly and quietly dragged them one by one under the ground. When half their army was gone, they started looking around and spotted our troops moving through the trees. With a cry, they started to attack, but this was exactly what TheMMMBrony had planned for.
As they thought us foolish enough to attack them head on, they charged right at us. However, with their focus on the small group in front of them, the Diamond Dogs continued to grab many of them and subdue them below the earth where a small group of earth ponies were waiting.
The enemy was starting to panic now, looking down then back up at what they now knew was a lure. With their focus on the Diamond Dogs below, AppleJack knew what was coming next and called them off. Right when AppleJack said they would, the apples on the trees were each struck by lightning, covered in electricity. That's when she called for the pegasi to swoop in, ordering them to buck the electric apples right off the trees down to where the enemy was waiting.
All at once, AppleJack led the charge of what used to be the decoy. They screamed their non-threatening pony screams (kinda anticlimactic) and galloped into the foe. The front of the line carried spears, but it was clear they wouldn't be needing them.
The enemy was in total panic, running this way and that to avoid being hit by the zap-apples and jumping everywhere they went to escape the soldiers down below. Most ponies didn't even need to swing a single spear as the foe bumped into each other, tripped over themselves and ran for the hills. A few of them got away, but most we have prisoner. We have maybe 70 in all. The few that ran are being chased down.
The attack was a complete and utter success! Not a single pony lost! Thanks to all of you for your brilliant strategy, and thank TheMMMBrony for his brilliant leadership skills. If we keep going like this, Equestria should be ours by the end of the week!
AppleJack was awarded a medal for her bravery and... very loud voice giving the orders. She had everything timed down to the second. Of course, we all knew she was a big planner, and today it really came in handy. Giving orders then leading the front charge has earned her a celebration, and we're all drinking cider tonight!
Except for me... I need some sleep... my sister keeps telling me I look worse every day. But I'm fine. I can't get over how well that went! War may not be pretty, but that battle was glorious!
I can't wait to hear what you guys have planned next.
EDIT: Oh, yea, I almost forgot. We sent 4 ponies into the Everfree Forest, but they haven't come back yet. I'd send a few more in to check on them, but... most are too afraid of that place to do it. It would have to be me, and they needed me here for the battle tonight.

Congratulations on a job well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hurray!
*Applause*
Don't thank me, thank swift and night. They came up with the plans, I just gave the orders.
Any news from the crystal empire?
And anypony the fandom would know among the prisoners?
3408664 We got a letter, but we can't read it. I have no idea what language it is.
3408682 what do the letters look like? Are they hieroglyphs, plain old letters, elvish, Klingon, cursive?
3408673 Well, let me look... I don't see Doctor Hooves... or Lyra... hmm... it's hard to walk and keep Twilight and my horns together! Anyway, let's see... Oh, there's Amethyst Star! Hey, she's a wild one. I was hoping someone from the Apple Family would be here.
Wait! That's Big Mac! Hold, there, buddy! We're your friends, you just don't know it yet.
There's GOT to be a way to change them back...
3408708 I don't know, I don't recognize them. There's a lot of straight lines in the alphabet. My vision's a little blurry, so it's hard to tell. Twilight says she's sure she's seen them before, but she can't remember
3408741 Can you send this letter to us? Maybe we can decode it.
3408741 And If you can read them letter from me.
My fellow friends, brother and sister in arms.
Today I send you my sincere congratulations, it is a first step to restore a balance and harmony in Equestria. We risk to take it and we won. You free ponies of Equestria and you our diamond dogs friends, you all should be proud. You show a great courage, passion and many others virtues which shape you as a true heroes of your time. But this is only first step, we have to take another and another to reach our goal. Today we celebrate, tomorrow we will back to fight.
Long live Rebel Alliance.
Long live Free Equestria
Sight be
Swiftbullet - tactical adviser of the Alliance to Restore Free Equestria.
Midnight, first off, congratulations on the victory.
As you may have seen, I have created a thread on weapons defense for your bases and camps. You may want to view it, and I can help you create anything.
Also, I may have missed something, namely how you are in Equestria. I mean, I cannot remember how you got there... this could be something I need to know.
3408775 Hmm... I don't know how... they don't have camera's here, so I can't take a picture or anything. It's all, like, I don't know. Maybe I should head there myself and check it out. The letters are like straight lines, but arranged to form an alphabet. I don't know, I'm too tired to really think about it...
3408775 I could probably decode it... I have a lot of experience with different writing forms in all languages, and I can normally figure out a language even if I have never seen it before, via process of association.
3408682 Doesn't Equestria have its own written language?
Maybe...
3411831 You maybe right, has Twilight already looked at the letter? Maybe it is an old dialect from the past. We would need to see it hrough. I wonder, does Twilight know how to send letters using her magic, like Celestia did it?
3408834 I can try to message you in Equestrian so you can crack the code? Maybe real Equestrian is different from what we think of as Equestrian.
3408834 Concerning the camera ... you are currently not using a computer as far as I know but sending us via magic infomation onto your account, so it should be possible for you, to memorise the letter in your mind and sending it to us via your link. If there are any limitations that I am not aware of, please tell me them.
Ok, orders for day 5:
Apples. Lots of them. We need to collect as many apples as we can from SAA, as we probably won't be able to hold it for long. If stormcloud comes, burn the barn, it's been rebuilt like what, 5 times in the show? Sorry, AJ, but this way, they can't collect any of the supplies.
Ask twilight about that book more, we need as much info as possible about it. Also show her the letter, and (this is important) ask her if she knows ANYTHING that could help us find the changelings.
In the meantime, what exactly are the effects of being "stormclouded"?
And just so you know, we are not using the mirror pond, there are more ethics violations in using that than in the entire book, "The Jungle"
Any additional suggestions, please reply to this comment.
Edit: and James...
I give you permission to launch a rescue for Zecora and the scouts in the everfree.
3412089 I would suggest that if we have still have the capabilities that we follow Swiftbullets suggestion.
Edit: Ok Swiftbullet you are right, that would be to dangerous in our current situation to send James and Twilight. We need to find another way to get to Zecora.
3412117 No we cannot send Twilight and James into Everfree. Especially Twilight she is too important.
3412327 I agree, swift, without her, James can't communicate with us
3412327 Thanks for your answer
3412327 What is about teleportation, does some of the unicorns have this ability?
3412362 From what I know only higher power levels unicorns can manage this. But I can be wrong.
3412408 Yes, strong unicorns can master it, but they have to see where they're going
3412370 What I am currently thinking about, if it would be possible for Twilight to teleport others without transporting herself or giving them a jump start so they can teleport to Zecoras location. Or is Twilight able to open a portal to her place?
3412411 As it seems it is not possible to teleport to a place that Twilight knows, she needs to see it.... so much for that idea.
3412412 I should say now something brilliant, find same great idea. But saying the truth I have no idea. In one side I see the benefices of this plan i the other hand I too worried for Twilight safety.
I just don't know. Fu*k I hate situations like this.
3412430 I know what you mean, this whole situation gives me a headache. Does Twilight maybe know a spell to create a fold in space in each self so she could create a portal that exists in two places at the same time?
3412444 NO! We all knows what happened if we start experiment with unknown spells. And it is nothing good.
3412452 Ok I put it in our research for later.
3412411 James if it is possible I want talk with Twilight alone.
3412502 Well, I can show her the page, and she can reply, but I'll see it too. If you want, I promise I won't butt in.
And I'm worried about those ponies that went into the forest, but I can't do anything without an order. I am physically unable to do it. Just please don't send a rescue party in there without me.
3412537 I will be grateful if you let me speak with her. May she contact with me want she will be ready to talk.
3412558 Well, she's here, go ahead. (Unless you want to PM, which we can still see)
3412558 Greetings. It is a pleasure to meet you. I'm very grateful for each of you and your help. James doesn't usually allow me time to voice my own opinions, but if I may make one teeny, tiny, request? It's my brother. I just want to make sure he's alright. I'm sure he's off fighting in the Crystal Kingdom, but I would be grateful if I could maybe see it for myself? And I KNOW I've seen that book. I'm not sure if it's in the castle or not, but I know it exists. With that spell, there wouldn't even be a need for fighting. We could save everypony, then this Stormcloud guy wouldn't be able to do anything more! Now, I just-- like this, right?
3412327 swift, I'm sorry, but after reconsidering, I think that's a risk we have to take. If you hate me for this, I'm sorry, and if this goes awry, I have only myself to blame.
3412608 Twi, I would love to tell you that your brother is safe and sound, but I can't, unless you know of some kind of scrying spell that we could use.
3412608 Twilight I send you my message in PM.
3412685 I understand... just let Twilight read what I send to her in PM first I want her to know few things.
3412608 Lady Twilight please know that we will do all what is in our posibilities that you will be reunited with your brother as soon as we can. We are all concered of your all wellbeing. Please know by my honor we will find a way to help you and end this dark times.
Alright, guys, let's do this! We've got plenty of apples, and I'm heading for the Everfree Forest. I'm taking Pinkie Pie with me (for obvious reasons) and Twilight, although I don't think I'm going to post again until tomorrow morning. If tomorrow night comes around without hearing from me, something happened, but give me at least until then.
I'll contact you soon. Here we go. Quickly... quietly... cautiously... I'll come back safely, I promise.
3412882
SALUTE!
3412882 Good luck Twilight... James, Pinkie. Watch for yourselves, and be safe.
3412882 Be safe on your journey our best wishes are with you.
3412882 Be safe, James. Be safe. (Try to catch some Parasprites, and maybe some Poison Joke.)
