Several centuries in the future, Equestria is left in a state of disrepair. Cyborg-like ponies called Hybrids roam the land and take valuable resources. The Resistance fights against these Hybrids and tries to rebuild society on clean energy.
The Li...
"Hey! You're back!" CharmingRhythm greeted as he saw Jet and FeatherTune enter into camp.
"Glad to see the camp is still in tack. Well, not worse, that is," Feather joked.
Rhythm only rolled his eyes.
"I got a tent and a mattress like you said! Oh, and I recruited three ponies. Actually, no, four. There was a couple," reported Feather.
"Awesome! Sounds like we're set for a while on recruits then. Well, that is if the ponies I recruited actually come..." Rhythm trailed off into his maze of thoughts.
"I'm sure they will. You said they seemed trustworthy," Feather pointed out.
"Yeah. Well, we better get this stuff together." Rhythm took a few steps towards the cab.
"Oh, yeah!" Feather exclaimed. "I got a surprise for you."
Stopping in his tracks, Rhythm stared at Feather as he raced back towards the front seat. He scooped up what appeared to be a deep blue cloth in his forehoof. He passed it over to Rhythm, who unfolded the cloth in his magic. Brandished on it was the Resistance emblem in cyan; a lightning bolt in the hexagonal face of a crystal. Rhythm's face lit up.
"A flag! This is perfect!" Rhythm leaned forward and hugged Feather around the next. "Thanks, Feather!"
"Eh. Thought you might like it," Feather replied, patting his back.
"We gotta go put it up." Rhythm spun around in the other direction.
"What about the other stuff?" Feather extended his wing towards the cab.
"We'll get it later," Rhythm said while walking away, his muzzle raised high.
While Rhythm knew there was a flagpole in front of the base building, he wanted to hang it up at the one in the center of the village. He attached it to the rope and pulled it up above the roofs with his magic. The flag hung there, lifeless.
"Oh. I got it!" Feather called out and took to the sky.
Facing the flag at the same altitude, Feather began thrusting his wings. Wind from his flaps caught in the flag, animating it. It flew vibrantly in the air, it's deep blue contrasting against the dull sky.
"Fantastic!" Rhythm expressed.

Ash and ThunderCharm came to admire the flag too. It continued to fly a few moments after Feather descended to the ground, then it became still again. Strangely there was no wind coming in from the sea at the moment. Rhythm knew that wouldn't last long, and the flag would proudly wave on its own soon enough.
"Hey, Rhythm," ThunderCharm spoke up, taking a few strides closer to the Unicorn.
"What's up," Rhythm said as he shifted his body to face her.
