Rangers

The Rangers of River-lands are the backbone of the Colony. Rainfall is proud of her Rangers above all other Career Paths. While every role in the colonies is important, everyone knows that it’s the Rangers who truly make the Colony strong! They do the majority of the hunting, the patrolling, protecting, and even more importantly, they are the task force who will make the Alliance submit to Rainfall’s eventual reign over all. 

Good Rangers also know how to follow orders and keep their opinions to themselves. They just need to trust Rainfall and her Council to do what’s best for the whole Colony. This has created a state where every Ranger thinks carefully about what they say and who they say it to.

The Rescue Bots and Rescue Bots Academy were a true neutral in the war. They would help either side after a battle, offering aid and energon to the soldiers. After one battle however, the Protectobots had descended on a battle field after the battle was over. They went about leading their other teams to help the different sides. Blades had found Soundwave, who was trying to keep Buzzsaw alive after a devastating blow. Blades immediately helped Soundwave and Buzzsaw, but as he was fixing them up, Megatron approached the group.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are you helping the Autobots."

Blades was obviously taken aback by this, but kept his eyes on the repairs.

"We're Rescue Bots. We help anyone and everyone, no matter the fraction."

Megatron's face after that was unreadable, even Soundwave was confused. Megatron had stormed off after that, and neither bot acknowledged it further.

In the cycles following that interaction, Megatron had issued a statement to all Decepticons that they were to not trust the Rescue Bots. Due to their neutrality during the war, they were inherently traitors of the cause and must be destroyed.

Fearing for their city and students' safety, the Protectobots (Alpha team 1 and 2) made the call to join the Autobot forces as Protectobots, not Rescue Bots. They also reached out to their allies in Vos, who at that time were also a neutral force to the war. Together, between the Protectobots, Vos, and their new allies of the early Autobots, they were able to keep Decepticon forces at bay from destroying Rescue City. Even when Vos eventually fell to the Decepticons, the Wreckers were able to fill their place.

However, when Alpha team 1, the original Protectobots, fell at Tagan Heights, that security over Rescue City fell as well. Megatron did not attack right as they fell. It took several Vorns in fact before the Decepticons attacked the city. Alpha team 2, which consisted of Skyfeather, Heatrock, Rook, and Medix, had to take over governing the city and protecting it in the wake of their Parensnatales' death.

When the Decepticon forces finally attacked the city, Skyfeather was their first contact. All of the students had been evacuated into underground bunkers. The Alpha teams were the only ones on the surface level, ready to defend their homes.

"Surrender the Rescue Bot forces to the Decepticons, or prepare to be taken by force."

Megatron stood in front of Skyfeather, as she stood between him and the academy.

"My Adsero built this academy from the grounds up with his gestalt. I will not allow you to take that away from him. You'd have to kill me first."

Skyfeather's death marked the start of the Rescue Bot Massacre. The rest of the Alpha teams followed, before the lower bunkers were breached. Anyone who refused to join was slaughtered.

By the dawn of the next day, the remaining Autobot forces on Cybertron finally arrived, communication having been cut during the start of the Massacre. The Wreckers were the first there, being greeted by the blood shed. Any Rescue Team that were not present in the city were hunted in the following cycles. In all, anywhere from 472-714 Rescue Bots and Rescue Bot recruits were slaughtered in this attack.

The only ones left, were a small Sigma ship, floating in stasis in deep space.

Character Log: Skyfeather

[@nash-artz-my-gays]

Skyfeather is the foalhood friend of Stormy’s. Born a Unicorn they knew nothing but the freedom of innocents. Dreamed big and looked brightly towards the future.

Like many ponies, Sky didn’t really get many details on what happened to Stormy’s patients nor why she was being sent back to Canterlot to live with her grandparents and the rest of the Starlet family and he never got an explanation.

Skyfeather became an alicorn via an accident with black magic that ended up killing his adoptive mother and later his adoptive father would move away. Possibly for the best knowing what happens to ponyville.

Ridiculed by the general populous. Skyfeather just wants a quiet life and worked as a librarian and occasionally helped the baker, Sweet Pea out. One of the few townsfolk that treat him well.

This is where he reunited with Stormy. Despite a rocky reunion they got along well after awhile and next to Lily. Sky was the first pony to see Stormy after she escaped the Everfree and was the one to cut off her wing, soothing her.

When Steele erupted from the forest after Stormy, Skyfeather put a barrier up around Ponyville while the three figured out what to do. After he forced Stormy to get some actual sleep of course.

Lily was the one to send a letter to Callisto.

They would quickly find out that the barrier was only a temporary solution as one night Sky’s horn burn out in a violent spark of light. Steele had broken the barrier.

It lasted for a month. The screams were immediate. It was too late to stall the apocalypse.

Skyfeather is Stormy’s anchor. She would be far more unstable if he wasn’t there. He makes sure she sleeps, eats and stays hydrated. This stallion would rather die than let something happen to that Pegasus. When they’re not relocating as a group, Sky is nearby Stormy at all times. Where one is, the other isn’t far behind.

ok i did another batch of cats <3

I ended up redoing the hierarchy thingy in an effort to make it a LIIIITTLE more like feral cat colonys irl? idk basically theres a matriarch, which is a hereditary position. Right now thunder's matriarch is Dusklight (also got rid of the ''star'' suffix cuz its not a starclan/divine kind of position w nine lives anymore, just next in line after the current dies.) Dusklight never had children, but Dawnwhisper did, so her neice, Sunfall is the heir. after Sun is Crowflight, being the oldest she-cat in line, etc.

((no high res of this comic ever existed, so here is the best of it i can get! i... may have bought generations 2018 only for kreon nickel. thats it. 60 bucks for one panel with tiny lego nickel.
