The Tower
Chapter 6 - Enemy
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight recoiled at the mention of her teacher which Kevin noticed, "Do you know her, because if not than she is going to become a very large grass stain."
I have no idea what he's capable of. If I say 'no' then he could just kill her! Wait, Princess Celestia was able to stop bullets with her shield so she should be safe. No, I can't risk her being hurt and maybe she can get me out of here. Twilight thought before reaching her decision, "Yes, I do know her."
"I figured as much considering she was standing next to you when the drone turned on. Oh, and I'm very aware of her forcefield, after all how else could she stop seventy-eight bullets? Don't look surprised; I told you I'd be asking these kinds of questions." Kevin concluded, "So who is she?"
Twilight realized that if Kevin didn't see a reason for keeping Celestia alive he'd kill her right now. "Her name is Princess Celestia and she is the leader of our country."
Kevin raised an eyebrow and commented, "You must not have many wars around here." Kevin stood up and walked back the way he'd come adding, "To think she'd come here in person."
"Alright Quantx ready an LPC (Light Personnel Carrier) for me, and remove the white alicorn from the target list." Kevin said entering the elevator.
"So, your not just going to blast her off the map?"
"No, not just yet. I still need to gather more information."
"Very well, Sir."
"All right I'm going to need some leverage for this." Kevin thought for a moment, "What's the status of our WMDs?" Kevin asked stepping into the LPC.
"We have thirty long range D-Tox 24 missiles; each containing 300 D-Tox 24 capsules configured in standard hexagonal formation."
"You don't have to get into specifics, I did build them after all." Kevin scratched his head looking towards the front gate and the alicorn on the other side of it, "To bad we don't have any nukes; if she were to put a forcefield around her city and we hit it with a missile the gas would just be stuck on the outside of the shield."
"Alright, Sir., were here and I had four squads meet us here as well." Quantx informed as he was controlled the comandroid driving the LPC.
"Open the gates." Kevin commanded as he continued walking to meet his visitor. The five foot thick steel doors retracted into the walls on either side and Kevin stepped out to greet his new guest, "Hello their what can I do for you?"
"Where is my student?" Celestia demanded in an authoritative tone.
"Student... Ah, miss Sparkle. She would be inside the tower."
"You will return her to me immediately."
Who does she think she is? Walking into my base and making demands? Keven thought before explaining, "Yeah um, no I don't believe I will. Do you understand I can put around four-hundred bullets into you in about five seconds with a single word?"
"So quick to resort to violence? Well then what if I were to send you to the moon?"
Send me to the moon? So, she is either over confident, or she's done it before. Best not to take anything for granted. Kevin thought, "So, you'd send me to the moon and risk your own life? Of course you would risk your life for your country. So, the only logical response would be: Quantx please configure all thirty D-Tox 24 Missiles to blanket Equestria in the event I am sent to the moon. Still not convinced? Allow me to elaborate; D-Tox 24 is an extremely deadly poison gas with some pretty horrible side effects that include: puking your guts out, spasms that can break bones, and causing every nerve in your body to think it's on fire."
"I see. Than there is nothing I can do to convince you at this time?"
"Um, no. I don't believe their is."
"Than we will meet again at a future time."
"Very well, but be warned; do not fly near the tower or it will attack you, and just because the ground turrets will not attack you, they will attack anyone else you bring with you." Kevin explained, and with that the Princess left. Kevin got in the LPC and headed back to the tower closing the gate behind him.
"So it seems you've made some enemies Kevin." Quantx pointed out.
"Indeed, it might be to our benefit if you actually kept the whole 'launch the missiles if I get sent to the moon' thing in effect." Kevin recommended as he exited the elevator to the drone hanger.
The repair bots had just finished repairing the drone that was damaged during its escape. "Quantx load fifty spider bots into five stealth drones and insert them into the Princess' castle." Kevin ordered.
"A little espionage, Sir.? Very well, should I equip them with 9MM SMGs, or railguns?"
"Railguns, I would rather have hyper magnets as the firing mechanism instead of gunpowder; to eliminate any noise."
"Speaking of stealth... I'm reading a heat signature of a pony on the edge of the forest just outside our perimeter defenses. He appears to be watching us, so should I arrange for a sniper to eliminate him?"
"Yes, it's probably for the best. He would see the stealth drones leaving the base and know we that were spying on them."
"Sir. You order is all I require. I will dispatch a sniper to the sniper's nest in on the artillery deck." Quantx announced. Only a few moments later the sound of a .50 caliber bullet firing reverberated around the base followed by the sound of the drones leaving the hanger.
"Well that's one down; about two-million to go." Kevin exclaimed heading back to his command center.
