Guns?!, NOW WE’RE TALKING HAHAHAHA

@thestralpony  
that’s the HEAVYMACHINEGUN

@thestralpony  
It was surprisingly hard to actually find an image of that scene… seems there’s only two, and one just looks like a barrier. :/

flare guns, super soakers, this is one well armed revolution

@ShimmeringStallion  
Sadly, I don’t think we’ll get to see anything as awesome as FF8 in this comic.

@thestralpony  
Well, maybe it would’ve been the most convenient time for them…
 
… or maybe she’d just stop a bullet all Queen Edea-style.
 

@thestralpony  
Lol, yeah, those definitely weren’t contemporary with swords.
 
Let me tell ya something about cameos, Gashi… That’s definitely too many.

@Cirrus Light  
If you look in the back you can see a white pony with a red jacket holding an assault rifle with what looks like a grenade launcher attachment. That or it’s one huge shotgun. lol

@thestralpony  
So, yeah. Swords to guns. Kinda weird. I could accept a flintlock pistol, since those were contemporary with swords, but not a revolver.
 
And it kinda makes sense to not tell everyone the plan, because spies and all, but the reader should be informed.

So much for their plan to kill Twilight. Having her outside the castle would’ve been the best time to try and attack her because it removes the entire ordeal of having to try and go through her castle to try and kill her. Saving them potential losses to their forces in the process but I like this plan better. Rescue Spikes old friends first before they try anything. This is more like the old Spike that everyone knows. However, it’s pretty obvious that he’s still going to try and kill her afterwards. Hopefully by the time they get to the others they will have told him about the alicorn sized pod in the Red Changeling basement. But somehow I feel like they’re the one that are going to end up captured now while the others (who have just escaped) will end up having to go back in to save them. lol
 
 
And what’s this about a “Commander’s Magic Flame” now? Since when was retrieving whatever that is even part of the plan to kill Twilight? How will it even help? More random things are coming out of nowhere again… Call me crazy but I would think that any form of resistance would actually tell their people the plan of action and everything of importance needed for it before the actual fighting is about to start. That way when anything happens that could change said plan comes up (like the enemy suddenly moving out to attack) they wouldn’t find themselves at a sever disadvantage or struggle to try and make up a new plan on the spot from scratch which would leave most of their resistance in the dark.
 
 
At this point it just sound like they’re going to split up into two groups. One half will just group up against the enemy and attack them until one side dies while the other tries to raid the castle for an unknown object and to save people whom we know won’t have any part in killing their former friend. Even if she might not even be their actual friend.
 
 
Also, the swords and other melee weapons that they handed out to everypony have now spontaneously turned into guns instead. More continuity everyone! No, wait…

@whitemew  
With Marco on their side, they have nothing to fear.

@AstralFrankie  
Yep. This is how it usually goes.

They’re going to miss each other, aren’t they?

What is this?

Go for Metal Slug pony lolol

“II”
 
This and the sometimes-awkward translations really say that he needs a new person to do the translations, or a competent editor…
 
Interesting to see a plan like this laid out, though. I wonder why they care so much about rescuing the “Keys”, though…
 
Unless they’re going with the plan that I mentioned earlier and actually are going to kill them, and are just pulling this cover to not arouse their suspicion :D
 
But that runs into the issue of “why”? If they’re going to kill them, why not just do it now, or earlier when they were in their lair?…
 
_{(lol, okay, I don’t want them to die, it’s just it’d be beautifully logical / interesting / end-justifies-the-means-moral-ambiguity if they went the “if the Keys die, Twilight dies, therefore killing those 5 ponies will ensure Twilight’s demise as per the prophesy” route)}
