open The SkullCrown Rebellion

[Chaotix 10]

Through grinding teeth Inspired managed to say "That is my name, im surprised that he found it, im hardly a pony of importance, im just a mechanical support private." Whats your name, why are you helping me?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin nodded as the mare began to treat his wounds. He had tried to keep a straight fave before she did, but the minute she fully placed to solution and bandages on him, he let out a robotic screech.

"OOWWWW!" Orrin shook his head and then balanced himself.

"Um.... Sorry... Thanks for the help Astra...."

He looked around Old Cloudsdale.

"What can you tell me about this place and of your team?"

[HunterTSN 1,444]

"The name is CopperMane, and I'm helping you because you can't help yourself." He looked around, Thunder had at sometime slinked away into the forest, and the pitiful noises from Ponitearious had subsided. He finished tying off Inspired's bandages and sat back. He looked outside and noticed the moon rising once more when he realized he hadn't had any sleep in two days. A wave of fatigue hit him and his eyes fluttered. "Well I'm getting tired," he stood up and grabbed a blanket that he pulled over Inspired, "Those burns need to heal so I don't want you moving for a while, try to get some sleep." He finally managed to get her to drink the tea and blew out the candle by the sofa. He went upstairs to his bedroom with his own cup of tea and got in the bed. He took a sip of the tea and let the sedative overtake him as well.

((for those who didn't figure it out Copper put a drug in the tea that puts you to sleep so Inspired wouldn't try to sneak away while he was sleeping so she wouldn't hurt herself more))

[Chaotix 10]

Inspired decided that she would cooperate with Coppermane, he was just trying to help her...and it is rare for her to have this sort of kindness bestowed on her. She cant remember the last time someone made tea for her, she savoured the beverage and felt woozy after, must have been a good cup of tea. Her eyes flickered and she slowly went to sleep, the worrys of the day lifting from her face.

[Nightfluff 15]

Astra flinched a little and closed her eyes tightly when Orrin screeched. Then she resumed what she was doing, quick yet gentle.

 

"Old Cloudsdale....it...its a bit complicated. It's certainly a shadow of its former glort. I'll sometimes find dead or dying of starvation or of sickness." Astra muttered lowly, I know I was." After a moment of appearing deep in thought, Astra shook her head lightly of the memories that flooded back. After continuing addressing the griffin's wounds, she continued her speech."We do what we can." <But sometimes its not enough> Astra added mentally.

 

"I know that we all look out for Old Cloudsdale. You know, help the..." Astra hesitated for a moment. She took a deep breath and resumed."Help the orphans, the elderly. We get supplies, try to fight off royals. Really we just try to help those of Old Cloudsdale. I can't go into detail about what the others do; I'm not completely sure. I'm kind of new to the team." Astra had hoped she didn't look or seem as young as she felt. Brass had only put her on the team out of a time of desperation. She hoped that she had been a good enough edition to stay on.

 

Astra finished with Orrin's wounds and looked him over to make sure she got them all."I believe that my work here is done. I could help you look for Brass or go do something else you need done." Astra smiled bright and determined and stood at the ready, despite her own fatigue.

[Twister The Twisted 92]

Twister walked through the giant doors of the throne room and bowed before the Princess once again brining good and bad news "I have done of what you asked i attacked a rebel force but lost many fighting them only ten of us made it back its like they knew we were coming"

[Chaotix 10]

Inspired slowly stirred from her deep slumber, The sounds of the waking forest sung throughout the air. She slowly tried to move, and her back didnt complain as much as the other day, those herbs must be doing their job. Reassured by her test, she trys to open her wings, but a sudden jolt of pain told her itd just open her wounds. Groggily she tries to stand and manges to without to much wobble, she even managed a few steps before losing her balance and crashing into the furniture. She fitfully looks around to see if she has awoken anypony.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Ah, so this place has been affected by SkullCrown's influence as well," the griffon angrily said as he looked around. It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of hunger, but he still had a very good idea of what it did to creatures.

"Thanks for the help. I need you to call in Brass and the other bat winged pegasus for me. It'd be better to discuss plans with the three of you present. I'll try to call in some help from the desert for now..."

Orrin tapped the side of his bionic eye and contacted Sketches.

"Sketches, I need you to send some of the delivery pegasi and griffons up here with some food and supplies. Be quick, the city moves on it's own, but as for now, here are the coordinates." He silently spoke them to her.

"Just remember to destroy any traces of this conversation..."

[HunterTSN 1,444]

CopperMane awoke to the sound of crashing furniture. He pushed open the door of his room and trotted down the steps to the common room, Inspired was sprawled across the floor next to an overturned table. "Well look who's awake," he helped her into a sitting position and picked up the table. "Well now that your awake how about we get some food." He banged on Ponitearious's bedroom, "Ponitearious can you get some breakfast started?" He and turned back to Inspired.

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Sketches got his message and nodded, trying to remember the request. "Might as well make me your personal assistant the way things have been over the past few days." Sketches remarked, half to herself. She cantered to the Pegasi wing of the Desert Head Quarters and related to the flight officer what Orrin had asked.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Technically, you already are," he said with a chuckle. "Orrin out."

 

Orrin looked around a while longer, engraving the images of Old Cloudsdale into his memory.

"Did I seriously just say, 'Orrin out,'? Eh whatever..."

He paced around as he waited for the two other pegasi to get to where he was.

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Sketches sighed. Great. Nothing to do with herself until Orrin called again. Which may not be bad, it's not healthy to be under too much stress. "Maybe there's somewhere I can help out." She suggested to herself, but come to think about it, she didn't have any other skills other than what she did. "I'll just go to the Library or something." She sighed.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

The princesses rage flared "I gave you simple, straightforward instructions and you fail me!" she sent a blast of magic at the window above his head, showering him with stained glass and plaster. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now!" she threatened.

 

(Unnamed pegasus)

The young member of the Sky Faction barreled towards Astra. "INCOMING!" she yelled, diving into the soft clouds. She picked her head up, "Astra, thank goodness! It's Schwartz. A Royal ambush, no survivors. Brass and Track too! I have to let everyone know!" The pegasus got up shakily and spend off in another direction shouting.

((Apollo is busy with other RPs and can't participate anymore, it's not his fault. I've bumped Astra up to leader status.))

[Twister The Twisted 92]

"Im sorry m'lady but we killed more of them then there was of us only a few survived running away after we defeated the leader there" He looked up at her "Please forgive me m'lady it will not happen again"

[KingOfIcecream 16]

Ponitearious slumed out of his room, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Sure, what sounds good for breakfeast?"

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Copper thought for a moment, "well we do have a guest, why don't you make some of those blueberry pancakes that you cook so well, with the sweet apple jelly." He sat down in a chair across from Inspired as his assistant walked into the kitchen.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin sent a cable towards the frantic pegasus and tried to restrain him from flying any further.

"Woah woah woah! Slow down there buddy. What in Equestria did you just say? And say it slowly this time please..."

(Unnamed pegasus)

There was an ambush. They got Schwartz, Brass, Track, and a bunch of their party. I have to tell everyone!" she untangled herself from the cable and flew off.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin rolled his eyes and flew after the pegasus. He passed him and stopped right in front of him.

"And where was this ambush? I need more details!" he screeched.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

The pegasus cowered on the ground, "Umm I don't know exactly, somewhere close to Canterlot, they were doing their early morning route around the Everfree forest... Umm, can I please go now?" She smiled weakly.

[Chaotix 10]

"I dont understand why your showing so much kindness to me, theres a famine and your sharing food with me?" Inside Inspired was reeling, she had been taught for years that rebels were the lowlife thugs of society, who left others to do the work for them, and were most of the reason for the food shortages. But here was a self confessed rebel who was such a gentleman. What else had she been mistaught?

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Yeah yeah, go and report this now..."

Orrin walked away from the frightened pony and called Sketches once again.

"Sketches, sorry to keep you working so much like this but... I need you to assemble a small group of our soldiers. There's been an ambush near Canterlot, and three... important ponies have gone missing."

 

He flew back towards Astra.

"It seems your friends have been captured...."

[KingOfIcecream 16]

Ponitearious walked out with three steaming plates of blueberry pancakes and hay bacon strips. He gave one to Inspired, then CopperMane, and then Ponitearious set the last one on the table for himself. "Now eat up, my breakfeast can heal any health problem.... Even a heart attack."

[HunterTSN 1,444]

CopperMane smiled, "it isn't everyday we have a guest" he took the plate and set it on the table in front of him. He looked up at Inspired and frowned, "besides, your going to need your strength, I have something to show you later." he smiled again and started to eat his breakfast.

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

"Yes, sir!" Sketches answered and galloped to the Combat Wing. She told the officer what Orrin had told her sent a fleet of Pegasi as reinforcement . She kept quiet, waiting for more requests from Orrin, r perhaps some praise.
