My Little Bokurano

"I've always been a silent pony. However, I have so many things to say now that I'll never have time to say them all." - Big Macintosh

That night, the Apple Family prepared to go to sleep. Big Macintosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom stood outside their rooms, while Granny Smith was already asleep.

"Looks like you'll live another day," Applejack said.

"Eeyup," Big Macintosh answered.

"I say we spend all of tomorrow together as well!" Apple Bloom said.

"Of course we will," Applejack said with a smile. She looked over at Big Macintosh and saw he was staring out the window. A giant, cylindrical creature began to form near their orchard.

"No..." Big Macintosh said in despair. "Not now..."

The three of them approached the window.

"Big Mac!" Apple Bloom sobbed, hugging her older brother.

"Don't worry about me," Big Macintosh said, "We should get Granny Smith to safety!"

"I'll take care of that," Applejack said, "You just get in Equextria and the defeat the enemy."

"Let me go with Big Mac!" Apple Bloom pleaded.

"Fine," Applejack said frantically. "Just go, I'll catch up!"

Apple Bloom followed Big Macintosh out of their house and into the orchard. They were now standing in front of their opponent as Equextria began to materialize.

"Alright," Big Macintosh shouted. "I'm ready!"

Apple Bloom and Big Macintosh disappeared from the orchard in a flash of light. Both of them reappeared in the cockpit, where everypony else but Applejack was waiting for them.

"Welcome to the cockpit, Big Macintosh!" Dung Beetle said jovially. "Are you ready for your next battle?"

"I never got to say goodbye..." Big Macintosh said quietly.

"To whom?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Granny Smith," Big Macintosh said, "Applejack's evacuating her right now."

Applejack appeared in the cockpit. "Alright, I got Granny Smith with another group of evacuees," she said. "What's happening right now?"

"Equextria's materializing right now," Dung Beetle said, "Big Macintosh should be able to see his opponent momentarily."

"Looks like I won't be seeing my parents again either," Big Macintosh said, two tears rolling down his eyes.

"Big Mac..." Fluttershy whispered.

"That's terrible," Sweetie Belle said.

Applejack and Apple Bloom both hugged their crying brother.

"Before our battle starts, I have something I would like to show everypony," Rarity said, pulling out what looked like a red and gold cape with a pony logo on it. "It's a Battle Shawl. It's something I've been working on for a little while. I figured that the current pilot can wear it whenever his or her battle occurs."

"It's shiny!" Derpy Hooves said.

"It looks really nice," Flash Sentry said.

"I'm not wearing it!" Scootaloo growled.

Everyone turned to look at her.

"What in Equestria is everyone so excited about?" Scootaloo continued. "We're going to die in that shawl! Does everyone want to die that badly?"

"You honestly think..." Big Macintosh snarled, escalating to a roar, "DO YOU THINK I WANT TO DIE?!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE EITHER! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!! HOW COULD I POSSIBLY WANT TO DIE?!"

Everyone drew back in shock at Big Macintosh's sudden outburst.

"But to die... is my destiny," Big Macintosh continued. "It's what my cutie mark is telling me." He looked at his flank covered with two black zigzags. "Well then, let's begin."

"Mind if I help you put the shawl on?" Rarity asked him.

"I'll help too," Fluttershy said.

Rarity and Fluttershy pulled the shawl over Big Macintosh's shoulders.

"Thanks, you two," Big Macintosh said.

The orange void disappeared around them and revealed the outside world, where Big Macintosh's cylindrical opponent stood motionless in an upright position.

"I'm not going to move for at least the next twenty minutes," Big Macintosh, "I want to wait until everypony has evacuated Ponyville."

"Are you sure you'll be able to do that?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"Of course he will, our opponent doesn't look so tough!" Rainbow Dash said. "It's just a cylinder, this'll be easy!"

Suddenly, the orange cylinder grew feet and tipped itself over to one side, crushing several apple trees with its impact.

"What's it doing?" Flash Sentry asked.

The cylinder began rolling towards Equextria, crushing several apple trees in its path.

"So that's what it does," Rarity said.

"It's destroying the orchard!" Applejack cried.

"Big Mac, do something!" Apple Bloom shouted.

"I'll stop it," Big Macintosh said. "EQUEXTRIA, TAKE OFF!"

As the cylindrical robot approached Equextria, Big Macintosh stopped it in its tracks using Equextria's front right hoof.

"It stopped moving!" Scootaloo said.

"Great job, Big Mac!" Applejack added.

However, the enemy robot simply moved back a couple hundred feet, and turned left.

"Oh no, it got away!" Apple Bloom said.

"It looks like it's heading towards the center of town!" Twilight Sparkle said.

"How cruel can it be?" Fluttershy whimpered.

"Big Mac, hurry up!" Rainbow Dash cried.

Big Macintosh followed the enemy robot to the center of Ponyville, making sure to stay by its side so he could corner it.

At the center of town, Mayor Mare was guiding a group of ponies out of Ponyville. Nearly everypony screamed when they saw the robot.

"Calm down everypony!" Mayor Mare demanded, getting between the robot and the group of ponies. "We'll just need to move faster!"

"BIG MAC, STOP THAT ROBOT!" Twilight Sparkle shrieked. "YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!"

Big Macintosh advanced at a full trot to the center of Ponyville. As the enemy robot advanced toward the group of terrified ponies, Big Macintosh saw that Granny Smith was among them.

"GRANNY SMITH!" Big Macintosh screamed.
