[The first autumn leaves drifted in the cold breeze of Manehatten. The huge clock in the center of the city shown 11:37. Suprisingly, there wasn't a lot of people in the streets. Everything was calm. Especially on the 3rd avenue. Two cloaked ponies stood in the middle of the park, wich was more the courtyard of the town hall. But, since it was public, no one really wondered why the two ponies were installing their equipment near the stage. A mare could've passed by and exclaimed, ''Oh look, They're surely getting a show there! I'll pass by tonight to see that!'' Except... The cloaked figures had no faces. ---- -At The rebellion's underground complex- Saul was in his office, reading the ''Equestria Daily'' newspaper. On the first page, the smiling face of Celestia with the captions ''Less budget for the education - Let's grow our army''. He sighed. Celestia started to look like a new Hoofler. Putting the newspaper away, he looked at the equestrian map lying on his desk. The reign of monarchy started to tilt to tyranny has the years passed. At least, Baltimare was affiliated with the rebellion, and the underground complex under the Everfree Castle still undiscovered. But how could they break the governement that everypony loved? How could they peacefully take down the sisters, and install a democracy instead? The royal guards weren't enough, they had to pull together an army to keep the rebellion from getting in canterlot and Ponyville. Baltimare was holding the assaults of the night guards, while a team of scouts scanned the forest since last's week mistake. Saul looked at the picture of his only friend, long since dead, Dr. Neighring. The only living beeing to ever understand him. He did made some friends since, but no one trully took the time to know him like he did. A tear formed in the corner of his eye, thinking about him. But he had to forget him. He wouldn't have wanted the he remembered him as a sad thing. He wanted for Saul find strenght and wisdom in his name. But the same day he got killed, he had to assume the defeat of the rebellion. It was a luck he still had some ponies left by his side; otherelse, Equestria would've been to the mercy of it's own goverment.] There guys, i suggest you to start around/ in the underground complex. If you're anywhere else, you're ordered to come back ASAP.
Steel Heart Eas in the shared commanders dorm. As his eyes skimmed the Canterlot Post. The most gut wrenchingly Monarchic loyalist newspaper of them all. The headlines were all the same all related to the sisters. He had to cool down after reading one particular article about the politics professor who replaced him rat out pretty much all his students for not being loyal to the princesses. "Hopefully, the students will escape. Especially True Policy and Shadow Manifesto. I had high hopes for them in this new party".
Orange was in the Commander's Dorm as well. "That new professor is a jerk. Also, cutting the education budget will just horribly back fire on them, I'm sure some students won't be happy either."
Videns had just walking into Manehattan, shivering from the cold she looked for a place to stay to keep out of the cold
(Well, sorry Eluuna, but you took too long to answer. I'll skip your turn this time...) Saul sighed, and managed to stand up. His muscles were sore from all the time he was sitting, and his left hind leg falled asleep. He shaked it a little to wake it up. ''Now, I've got to get them moving. I think i've got a plan...'' He approached the microphone on the wall, wich was connected to multiple speakers troughout the base. The newest technology they developped would, in a few months maybe, let them beeing wireless. ''Attention: Steel Heart, Orange Bolt, Videns and Sever's presence are required on the Main lobby. We ask you to get geared up and get your team ready; briefing will be given to you at T minus 20 minutes.'' He looked at the picture on his desk, and whispered to himself, ''I won't let your death useless. I pinkie promise.''
Steel nodded to the others before clicking a button on his arm which activated his helmet. Heading to his locker he slung the bandolier of throwing knives and strapped on his belt. Bolstering a silenced pistol, tranquilliser gun and silenced battle rifle. He then sent a message to his squad via comm ink before meeting them in the lobby.
"Well, I suppose that's our queue." Orange said, walking over to his closet. When he opened it, he took out a large briefcase containing his lance. He then took his armor off it's rack, and put it on. It was light, and somewhat spongy, so it could absorb minor impacts, particularity from arrows.
(Eluuna... Join when you wish, but please join someday...) Saul walked out of his office, along the large corridors to meet his team. He was somehow nervous. He hasn't been on the field for a while. He had the idea for a while to get on a ''recruitment run'', as he called. His contacts across the new democratic republic of equestria (God, the name was so long to think, he didn't know how he managed to say it in one breath) had warned him of dangerous ponies that rebelled against the sisters, just like them. He would have to convince them to join Utopia, by any mean necessary. He summoned a black and white map with his magic; He had, in order, to get to Breed, Veripole, Crysalid, Crystal Song, Lucracy and the Undine's lake. That was a run through the whole continent, but he knew his commanders wouldn't give up on this task. He snapped out form his thoughts; he almost bumped the hall's door. He opened it with magic to see one of the unicorns commander. He remembered her ID, but decided not to use it's information while meeting her for the first time; ponies usually freaked out when they saw his tall, scarred grey figure. His mid-long grey mane, and his piercing blue eyes, already knowing them more then they know themselves. ''Salutations, milady. I'm the... only remaining founder of Utopia, Saul Williams Laski Cawley. But please, call me Saul.''
(I'm so sorry! I didn't quite know how to jump in.) Sever stepped daintily down the street, her eyes weary. She was so... so tired. A stallion glanced at her, and she hurried, her hoovesteps loud to her ears..
(I think some may have left... But I'm still game if you are...) - - Auto Merge - - "Well it's a pleasure to meet you...", videns says, holding a hoof to the right of saul
