open The SkullCrown Rebellion

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin whirred his chainsaw blades as he saw the pegasus.

"You got a death wish? Turn back now and go lick your beloved princess' hooves!"

[HunterTSN 1,444]

CopperMane flew up behind the Royal and saw Orrin fly up on her other side, "well well well, what have we got here. I was hoping I'd meet you again. So tell me, how did your princess take my message?"

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Sketches left Old Ponyville and galloped as fast as she could manage toward Appleloosa, not being a very avid athlete in the first place.

[Twister The Twisted 92]

The two men Twister sent off come back "What news is it the rebels" One of the guards Nods "Great rest now we attack tomorrow go tell the others" As the two guards walk away Twister calls to a skinny pegasus * Go to the palace tell the princess we have found rebels go now"

[Chaotix 10]

Inspired wheeled back, the griffon had noticed her immediately! Looking cloer he was a magnificant speciman, so many augmentations...she would have loved to see what made them tick. But looking at the chainsaws embedded in his wings she guessed he wasnt so poilte as to allow her to look. She heard something behind her, and looks around to see the brute from the ambush, flying with mechanical wings. Another gorgous machine, and it looked hoofmade. How could rebels have this tech? Theyre just simpletons who dont know whats good for them, arent they? Troubled, Inspired brought herself back to reality, "Oh shes had plenty to say, such as how she wont be duped by simple barbarians, trust me quit now or you wont have a chance." The mare quickly pulled belts and levers forcing more pressure into the machine, getting it ready for the inevitable battle, the pistons scream as the frontal blades lift and lock. She wont be helpless this time...

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin let out a screech before he sent to cables towards Inspired. He stood upright and whirred the chainsaw on his belly as he pulled her closer to him.

"I wonder how SkullCrown will like you in her mail... In several different pieces!"

[Chaotix 10]

"Scum you think im so easily taken down?" Inspired pulls around and points the former hos in front of her while forcing her suit to vent behind her, making her slingshot straight into the mechanical griffon, sparks fly as the blades meet the chainsaw. Tangled together, Inspired fires her vents straight on the griffon to pull away, one of the cables is sheared apart in the struggle and Inspired takes the chance to get some range.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin shook his head as he recovered in midair.

"Scum? Oh of course, I bet that's how your beloved Princess SkullCrown taught you Royals how to refer to those in pain and suffering!"

He extended his metal talons and sliced at her armor, making a 4 digit claw mark appear on it.

[Chaotix 10]

"Its how she taught us how to treat traitors to the crown! Your the ones causing the misery and pain!" Inspired heaved against a switch and a blade extended from the racks, blasting steam forwards she rocketed at the griffin and slashed along his metal body, the metal shrieking as it parted against the heavy blade. She spun in midair, getting control after her mad rush. A sudden whistle of steam gets her attention, the griffon had cut though one of the pipes, twisting her head around, Inspired switches off the vallve. "Im not some helpless convoy in the woods, i wont let you win!"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Oh really? Take a look at what once used to be the happiest place in Equestria!"

Orrin's mechanical eye glowed bright as he projected a hologram between him and Inspired. He showed the sad, malnourished ponies.

"Is this the great way your princess rules us?"

[Chaotix 10]

"No, that cant be right, you rebels constanly spread propaganda, thats how it was before Princess Skullcrown fought off the tyrant Celestia!" Shouted Inspired, She could feel herself heat up with rage as she heard the lies. But there was a seed of doubt, the mare always did her duty, didnt allow doubt...but these images were too real and she had seen things. Conflicted she made another half hearted lunge at the griffin, but missed completely and went spinning. Correcting herself, she pulled a rope that ran along the frame of the suit, it opened a panel from which sprung a nozzle fed by several pipes.Inspired braced herself and pulled the rope again opening the pipes and sent the spike within the nozzle at huge velocity towards the griffin.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin took the spike, screeching loudly in pain.

"That all you got?!" he said.

He flew towards her and held out his talons. A small hole opened in the middle of his metallic palm as he unleashed small streams of fire from it.

"Burn!"

[Chaotix 10]

The firing of the spike had sent Inspired into a spin, she pushed her vents hard to correct herself but she was sideon when the griffin unleashed those flames on her. Her flank was unprotected by the suit (note to self find lighter metal so full suit could work) and she could feel the heat as the griffin charged her. Thinking quickly Inspired emptied the full contents of the boiler on her side, the steam istantly cooling as it was released. As the fire hit Inspired the steam took the brunt of the heat but flames still wormed along her exposed back. Furthermore without the boilers pressure the suit lost power and Inspired fell screaming from the flames grasp. Trying to think through the pain she pushed the suit to lift but there was too little steam and her mind was clouded with pain.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin saw as she plummeted downwards. Thinking quickly, he swooped down and grabbed her tail in his metal beak. He flew her closer to the ground, and dropped her far away from Old Cloudsdale.

[Chaotix 10]

Blinking through the pain Inspired tryed to remember what was going on, she was fighting a griffon, she remembered that. There was fire then pain, remembering that caused her back to spasm and she realised she was badly hurt. Looking up she could see the griffon standing over her. Panicking Inspired tryed to lift herself, but the suit was too heavy and only made little puffs of steam, the boilers werent giving enough pressure. She tried to struggle up but her back spasmed and she dropped down again, she was helpless.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin glared down on her.

"Your princess' time will come..." He turned around and kicked her on the side of the head, knocking her out for a few seconds. He flew up and then headed back towards Old Cloudsdale.

[Chaotix 10]

Inspired shook the darkness from her head. How long has it been? The clouds had moved and Old Cloudsdale was nowhere in sight. Her head was swimming, and the fiery pain along her back was no better. She slowly wriggled out from her suit and examined it. "well nothing too badly damaged, one of the boilers is dead and the lower piping snapped from the stress, if i just break this and..." taking comfort in telling herself the details of her work, Inspired stripped down the suit, and used the frame to support her faltering legs. "There ill hardly be able to fly, but a little walk never hurt anypony, now...where am i?" Realising she had no idea of this land, she chose a path that seemed well beaten, most likely the path everypony used, and trudged down it, wincing with every step.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

The cyborg griffon landed in Old Cloudsdale.

"Brass and company! Are you here?"

[Twister The Twisted 92]

Twister and he group Found what they were looking for Rebels Led by the infamous Thunder and he thinks to himself "If i capture her and take her to the Princess she will be pleased" He Grins at the thought and turns to his men "This is it" And he orders the attack

[Nightfluff 15]

Astra was flying through Old Cloudsdale with a medical supply bag slung across her shoulder. Saddened by what she saw, she looked up and away from her old home. When she looked up, she saw a wounded cyborg griffin calling out to Brass.

 

"I'm not sure where Brass is," Astra said flying slowly to the griffin, "but I'm here." She stood at attention and saluted the griffin. "Astra Nightfluff, nurse, soldier, and general helper of Old Cloudsdale." Eyeing the griffin's wounds, Astra asked concerned, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I'm fine for now," he said grimacing. "Coppermane sent me here to get you three together. He wants us to join forces. I'm the desert faction's leader..."

[HunterTSN 1,444]

CopperMane followed the mare as she stumbled down the path. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her, and he also felt bad for not stopping Orrin from injuring her. He flew down silently next to her. She stumbled and collapsed from the pain in her led and she passed out on the ground. He walked up and nudged her with a hoof, when she didn't respond he bent down and supported her limp body on his back. He carried her back to his hut and pushed open the door. "Ponitearious, are you awake? We have company, I need you to set up a bed on the sofa and I'll make some tea. Oh, and grab the modified first aid kit from my workshop!" He laid the pegasus down on a chair in the kitchen and started heating up some water.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Orrin pulled the spike out from his side. He collapsed as blood and oil trickled from the wound.

"On second thought, I think I might need your help..."

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Sketches rounded up the members of the desert faction, informing them of what had happened to Ponyville. She drew up a few more little "game plans" for other ambushes or skirmishes to keep her busy until Orrin returned. Otherwise, Sketches didn't know what to do with herself. She sighed, swishing her tail back and forth. She'd done as Copper had told her.

[KingOfIcecream 16]

Ponitearious got up from his enjoyment of his sandwitch, "Oh, um, yes. Who's our guest? Was there another royal ambush?" Combing his hoof through his sexy mustache, he swallowed the rest of his sandwitch down his throat and trotted into the workshop. He pushed over a box of spyglass lenses and found the first-aid kit. He picked up the handle with his mouth and went back to the living room to get the bed sheets ready. He found the pegasus on the chair and dropped the first-aid kit in shock. He tied her to the chair and ran to CopperMane to ask what to do to the enemy. Ponitearious barged into the workshop where he found CopperMane searching through some bits and boggles.

"CopperMane! We have an entruder! Grab one of those guns off the rack, I'm going to go back into the living room and make sure she hasn't escaped!". Ponitearious leaped off the ground and flew to the living room, there was no time to simply gallop.
