Cliff gazed at the recrits being trained and sighed. He had never been allowed to wield a gun since he joined the Resistance. He went straight to field medic without any chance to try anything out. Try anything out...the ponies are trying out weaponry right now! Something felt off. Usually, around three ponies have managed to get amputated or shot accidentally by now, but they were all completely fine. Perhaps these recruits had some actual potential. Cliff's heart filled with warmth for the first time in months. Maybe they had a chance after all..
Arcane went to facade and awaited further instructions on what to do that didn't involve using large weapons.
Blackheart stared at the training coarse with a straight face he than chuckled and thought, "This is fillies play." Blackheart rushed past and continued throughout the training coarse only too be stopped by an obstacle near the end, "Damn!" Blackheart shouted he than told himself "I underestimated this training coarse." Blackheart walked all the way back to the beginning and tried it again only failing closer to the beginning. Blackheart continued the coarse but never made it to the end and just gave up on his seventh try. Blackheart was berthing heavily, his legs where tired, and he had a couple of scratches on his legs. He looked around at the other soldiers in the room and watched how they did it. Once he was finished examining one of the soldier he tried his luck on the training coarse, doing everything the other soldier did and made it to the end. Blackheart smiled, hopping he was ready for his first mission.
The Commander was looking through the reports when she heard a knock on the door. She reconized the pattern as a Special Forces officer, "Come in." the door opened showed an officer enter with the new private, "We think he is ready." said the officer. "Fine, get him suited up and I will assign the mission." She looked at the private, "And don't think it will be easy just because you are new, you will be expected to perform as well as the others." and the two left the room, and The Commander started looking for possible missions for the newbie
Firebreeze stood back and watched the training ponies. He looked towards the others, "we've got a great group here. They're all committed, not to mention how quickly they've learned."
Dark nodded, Soon, she thought, Soon we will be strong enough to launch to Operation Downfall. "Maybe you should assign them their missions, I will assign the first." Dark looked at the list, which was alphabetical, "Arcane. In accordance with your talents, you shall are to work on arcane traps around the headquarters. I know it isn't intresting, but as a private, we can't risk much." Dark turned to Firebreeze, "Get on with the assignments, and for Celestia's sake, don't make any assualt missions, they just arent ready for that, try to keep it simple." and Dark walked off the staged, motioning Rashall to follow.
Firebreeze looked at the list and called out ten names. The ten recruits quickly walked up to Fire, "alright," he said, "I havent been back to my home town in what feels like ages, so I'm giving you guys a simple mission. I want you to do a scouting mission in ponyville and report back to me on the town's condition. Remember, if you get questioned about the Resistence, snitches get stiches..." The recruits nodded and began to head towards ponyville. Fire mainly asked them to do that mission for a little experience in the field, but he also sent them out to hear about what's happening to his beloved hometown. He knew of the police taking out ponies who disliked the new rulers, but that was about it. He wanted to know that, at least, life there hadn't changed too much.
The Commander looked at the gathering of Secret Police, Alpha squad led the small army, just about to set off. "Alright!" The Commander yelled into a loudspeaker, "We are going to crush the Resistance once and for all! I have recently recieved word from the inside that a large group of high-potential recruits have recently joined the Resistance! So, we are gonna crush this group and burn their headquarters to the ground! Pegisi, you will make the first assault, clear the ground of any traps and do your best to draw them out of the building! Then Alpha squad will lead the ground assualt and storm the group. Take as many prisoners as possible! Also, Tremalion himself will be watching the battle, and he has authorized the use of the Big Drop to finish them off." The group cheered. There was probably about 1500 of them, the most elite troops in all of Equestria. "Alright, let's move out!" and the massive doors opened. Dark walked down the halls, Rashall had to leave to check up on his forest and troops. All was peaceful, exepct her mind, it was trebulent with thoughts and stradegies. She walked up to one of the few windows, and was staring at it, when she felt a massive explosions from behind her, and was forced through the window by the shockwave. She hit the ground hard, glass shards digging into her skin. She looked around, everything seemed dull and hazy, her hearing was deafened. Ponies were running around, in mass confusion, even more lay still on the ground. She blacked out real quick and woke to see Firebreeze trying to get up and get his flamethower. All was choas as armored pegisi flew around in the sky, dropping bombs, fireing rockets, fireing guns, causing all out choas. Dark stumbled to her feet, and looked up just in time to come face to face, well, face to helmet, with the Commander herself. "Hello dear." The Commander said before landing a hoof straight into Dark's face.
Firebreeze tried to stand, but the explosions just kept knocking him down. He watched as the recruits died. a tear drop slide down his eye as he was knocked out by an ememy soldier, "I found the fire one!" the soldier yelled out.
Dark slammed into the remnants of a wall. She picked herself back up, "I don't want to have to do this." She said to the Commander. "Oh, but you have to face me eventually Dark. Putting it of won't solve anything." Dark suddenly found herself surrounding by a magical feild, "Its time to face me Dark, this time, I won't go easy." Suddenly, a concussion spell hit Dark, flinging her into the ruins of the headquarters, slamming into a table. She got back up and looked around, and saw a shadow against the smoke. She prepared a spell to fire, when she felt all the magic suddenly drain out of her, "No, that's not possible!" She thought. But her fears were comfirmed when a tall, menacing looking gray alicorn stepped from the smoke. "Now now, thats no way to greet your King is it?" said Tremalion himself and Dark suddenly felt her conciousness slip away. (On the battlefeild) The Resistance ponies had finally reorganized and were facing the army of Secret Police, despite the Secret Police's advantage. Suddenly, they all fainted as Tremalion came from the mist with Dark flung across his back. "Today will be remembered as the day the Resistance died." he said and the Secret Police cheered.
Blackheart smiled as he watched over the battlefield, he knew it would be an easy victory as he watched Tremalion come out with Dark on his back. He stepped on the battlefield and bowed in respect and honored to meet his king.
Seconds latter a wall to the right suddenly caved and a hail of storm bolter shells was released into the Secret Police knocking the ones closest back. "In the name of the Living and for them above!" Yells Rashall rushing into the fray, more and more soldiers rush into the room. On one side high pitched wails can be heard as the howling banshees unleash their wail, while the Warp Spiders continue to blink into and out of existacne.
The Commander appeared behind Rashall, "Hello old friend." she said and he felt a sharp pain as a traq dart sunk into his neck
Firebreeze slowly opened his eyes to see all of the Resistence downed, "oh Celestia, no..." he silently said to himself. He was injured with a broken leg. He could do little but lay there and watch the police celebrate.
(This is hours later) Dark woke to find herself in a cell. Through the small window, she could see Firebreeze still knocked out on his cell bed. "This is just great." she muttered as she went into the back of her cell.
Rashall swatted the dart off of his armor as it had failed to penetrat it and delivered a kick in the Commander's general direction. After this he quickly exited the area along with the rest of Angels of Armageddon and most Resistance memebers on exception of Dark.
Blackheart rushed in the base and stopped by the Commander, "Commander reporting for duty" Blackheart said as he looked to see the rest of the Resistance soldiers get away. "Sorry Commander but we did get most of them" Blackheart said looking down at the ground.
The Alpha Squad's pegisus suddenly flew at Edge's position, firing restrant cables, wrapping around him. The Secret Police then took adavntage of the resulting confusion to overwhelm the Resistance's guns. Soon, there was only a few left and and electrical net fired by and Alpha Squad member, quickly landed on top of them, eletricuting them. The Commander look at the Alpha Squad Private reporting to her. "Good, that is fine. It will take them a long time before they recover, and with the new laws I have set forward, it will become even harder to have them find recruits."
Firebreeze woke up in pain, "ARG! My bloody leg!" Then he rembered it had been broken during the battle. "DAMMIT!" He yelled. At this point, he wished he could've stood up and destroyed everything in his cell. "stupid leg..." he muttered.
