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...
A gust of wind blew over the desert of southwest Equestria. Along that wind road two golden wings carrying a yellow Pegasus. The stallion gazed down at a battlefield below where his friend fought pony-like creatures, modified by technology. Their mechanical limbs pounded against the earth as their eyes glowed red with hostility.
"HyperBlitz!" A greyish blue Unicorn commanded from the ground, amplifying his voice with sound magic. "Over there!"
The Pegasus, HyperBlitz, eyed where the other stallion was pointing. He noticed some propane tanks next to an opening in a fence. The blue Unicorn slipped through the opening as the pony cyborgs caught up to him. HyperBlitz lifted his left foreleg where a boot-like weapon was holstered. As the cyborgs reached the fence, the Pegasus shot down a flare of blue energy from the bottom of his hoof. It collided with the propane tank, causing an explosion.
Fire engulfed the pony creatures, they screamed in pain. Their screams soon were silenced by HyperBlitz and the Unicorn firing more energy at them. The flames died just as the cyborgs did. The yellow Pegasus circled around and landed behind his friend.
"Nice eye, Rhythm," he commented.
"Nice explosion," the Unicorn said as he whipped around.
He held up his right foreleg, a prosthetic that was similar to HyperBlitz's weapon. Hyper returned the gesture and bumped hooves.
"Let's get back to headquarters and report this," Rhythm said as he led the way.
"You sure that was the last of the Hybrids in this area?" Hyper asked, referring to the cyborg ponies.
"As far as I could tell," Rhythm responded.
The streets the two stallions were trotting on were left abandoned in shambles. The more they walked towards the center of the city, the more the buildings were maintained. The population of the city grew towards downtown where shops, homes and schools were set up. Several towers raised into the sky, the ones in the center the most cared for just as the rest of the city. This was the Los Pegasus; headquarters of the southwest Resistance.
After entering the tallest building, Rhythm cantered enthusiastically to the desk in the middle of a large hall. A mint green mare glanced up from her work and caught sight of Rhythm.
"You're back! How did it go?" she greeted.
"Wasn't that hard," HyperBlitz responded just as Rhythm opened his mouth to reply. "You know Rhythm and I are an unstoppable team."
The Unicorn mare rolled her brown eyes and then placed them back on Rhythm. "Want me to put it in as a success?"
"I mean, obviously. We're here now, aren't we?" Rhythm said as he propped his forelegs on the desk. He placed his bearded chin on them and looked at the mare with a smirk, his eyes shining with affection.
