open The SkullCrown Rebellion

[HunterTSN 1,444]

CopperMane dived, "Thunder just in time, there's some spare wings handing up in my tent, grab them and come along. Or you can stay here and help Sketches command the Rebels. Your choice." He turned and flew off after Orrin and his assistant.

[Mephala 2,633]

Thunder laughed. "You think you're leaving me behind?"

She grabbed the wings and strapped them own, trying them out with an approving nod.

"Nice craftsmanship!"

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Sketches nodded in approval of Copper Mane's contraption. She opened all communications lines in case of emergencies.

[Chaotix 10]

Inspired went outside, watching the horizon she could just make out a couple of black dots. She wanders over to the guards posted on this side of the palace. "Hello there guys, can you come with me and help me in the armoury, theres a big commotion, it seems the mechanics havent done their job and now theres lots of heavy lifting." She led the guards away, and looks back once, silently hoping the rebels will be ok.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

CopperMane alighted on the roof of the palace silently and folded his wings. hH shushed the others as they were landing not wanting to attract more attention, they almost been seen twice flying over Canterlot but luckily the sun was low enough that nopony got a good look. He walked over to a large air vent on the side of the castle and carefully pried off the grate with a crowbar. He looked into it and then back at the group, "unfortunately it is made of aluminum, so be extremely quiet. On the other hand, it is fairly big so not even Orrin should have a problem." He secured a rope to the roof and threw it down the opening. Then he grabbed the rope and slid carefully into the duct. He let out a sigh of relief when he touched the metal floor of the tunnel quietly. "Okay follow me" he called up to the others.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin paused for a minute and looked at his metal talons.

"Won't this be prone to screeching though? You got something to fix that?"

[Mephala 2,633]

Thunder turned to him and eyed his joints carefully.

"Huhhh...I think I know a spell to quiet things down," she offered.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Well cast it quickly! I don't want to miss out on anything!"

[Twister The Twisted 92]

Twister was on his guard duty in the throne room by the throne dressed in his full armour listening to the Princess command the others telling them where to strike and where to defend and also listening to her dealing out punishments to deserters and traitors he smiles as he watches their faces turn blank when they hear the punishment.

[Chaotix 10]

Inspired was helping the others clean up the mess in the armoury. She fearfully hoped the rebels will hurry up, soon there will be a lot of ponies asking questions about what happened. Pl anning her own escape, Inspired secretly hid away some equipment thatd come in handy.

[Mephala 2,633]

Thunder had cast the spell on Copper as well. She hopped silently into the duct without using it for herself.

"Great part about having a zebra mom is that you get good at stealth," she smiled grimly.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Copper thanked Thunder and started down the aluminum tunnel quietly. The air duct was long and dark but the group kept moving on. It had been nearly 10 minutes when Copper saw a light up ahead, "be quiet, there's an exit over here" he told the rest of the group and creeped slowly towards the vent. He slowly pulled the grate up and dropped into the room below. Looking around he realized that they must be in some sort of dungeon because prison cells dotted the wall. He looked in a few but they all seemed abandoned. He walked towards a heavy door at the end of the room and pushed it open. Outside was a deserted corridor with torches along the wall. After checking for guards he led his group into the hallway. "No guards in sight. Inspired's distraction must have succeeded."

[Mephala 2,633]

Thunder silently dropped and straightened, looking around. She heard a faint noise and pushed him into a dark corner.

"Still gotta be careful," she muttered quietly to him.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin also climbed down, silently thanking Thunder as he landed without a sound. He landed in a puddle, however, and his cloaking sparked and deactivated.

"Well, crap... Either way, let's move on," he whispered as he followed Copper.

[KingOfIcecream 16]

Ponitearious followed. He made sure to steer clear of the puddle and walked behind them with his body low to the ground. He looked back every 30 seconds to make sure they weren't detected.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

CopperMane led the group down the corridor. Noting how it grew wider. "We're nearing the princess" almost as soon as he spoke the corridor opened up into a long welcoming room, although nopony felt welcomed. There was two huge mahogany doors at one end of the room. A guard stood in front of each door. "That's the thrown room, Thunder can you take down those two guards without drawing any attention? The rest of you get ready to charge in and take out the guards. Surprise is our greatest asset" he whispered to the group.

[Mephala 2,633]

Thunder nodded and suddenly the two guards fell the the floor.

"Metal armour...makes electrocuting them that much easier," she whispered with satisfaction.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

"Thanks" Copper whispered, he sneaked over to the large doors and waited for the others to follow, "okay everyone, go in and take out the guards, only the guards. If there happens to be any civilians in there get them out immediately, got it?" The group nodded. "Okay here we go. One, Two, THREE!" He pushed hard against the doors and the sprung wide open. The group rushed into the throne room and chaos broke loose.

[Twister The Twisted 92]

Twister was shocked at first by the doors beeing smashed open he then Flew in the air and charged after The Pegasus leading them

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin flew in front of Coppermane and absorbed the assailant's hit, then shoving him off...

[Twister The Twisted 92]

Twister Stumbles back and looks at the griffin and laughs " they Uses Griffins?" Laughs again " you must really need help" He charges at the Griffin hitting him out of the room then following him

[Chaotix 10]

Inspired looked up from her pilfering, she thought she had heard a commotion, looking around it seemed like nobody else heard anything in the racket of the damaged mechs, but years of working on machines had taught her to ignore ambiant noise. She races to the throne room, sure that the rebels would be causing strife there, she picks up a large metal saw as she goes, why be subtle?

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin landed on the ground with a thud and screech of metal against the ground.

"Wow, this one's tough," he said to himself as he recovered. He looked at the attacker and the scraped the floors with his talons.

"Do you really want to do this friend? I've no problem pulling your entrails out now but..."

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Sketches searched through multiple files on a computer monitor for the code for accessing the surveillance cameras in the palace. They must have some way of keeping an eye on prisoners and guards. She found it and clicked away.

[Twister The Twisted 92]

Laughs "Good words coming from an overgrown parriot" Lands infront if him with a grin on his face " ill let you decide weapons or Hoof to...Talon combat"
