My Little Bokurano

"I'm fighting for Equestria and my unborn foal." - Shining Armor

The praying mantis robot swung at Equextria, but Shining Armor ducked out of the way.

"That was close!" Spike said.

"Completely random question," Shining Armor said. "Does this thing have lasers?"

"Sure does," Dung Beetle said.

"Awesome!" Shining Armor yelled. "LASERS, FIRE!"

Equextria fired light blue lasers toward its opponent. However, the mantis's head deflected the attack and the lasers shot through a distant mountain like it was foam.

"That mountain!" Applejack said.

"It got vaporized!" Scootaloo added.

"Bro, you're overdoing it!" Twilight Sparkle said.

"It was worth a shot..." Shining Armor muttered.

En route to Equextria, the praying mantis knocked over a building and sent ponies running from the falling debris. Meanwhile, two pegasus guards took flight and dived headfirst into the robot. However, the giant robot slapped both of them away.

"He got Blazing Comet and Flaming Wings!" Flash Sentry cried.

"Oh, he'll pay for that!" Shining Armor shouted.

On its next step, the monster took out a muffin vendor.

"Oh no, my favorite muffin shop!" Derpy cried.

"This is terrible!" Fluttershy sobbed.

The praying mantis inched forward and wrapped its limbs around Equextria's neck.

"Isn't that cute?" Pinkie Pie asked. "It's trying to give us a hug!"

"I don't think that's its intention," Flash Sentry said.

"Crap!" Shining Armor growled. "I'm gonna fire the lasers again!"

"But those didn't work last time!" Fluttershy said.

"Hey, he's the pilot, not you," Dung Beetle said, making Fluttershy look away in embarrassment.

"FIRE!" Shining Armor cried. The lasers fired again, but reflected on all sides of the creature's body.

"Ya didn't even dent it!" Apple Bloom said.

"Actually, I see a hole," Big Macintosh said in a rare speaking moment. "It's just above the enemy's upper left leg."

"Good eye!" Shining Armor said. He screamed as he used Equextria's forelegs to kick the monster's thorax. Eventually, the head separated from the rest of the body. Metal went flying and the monster fell to the ground.

"I think we beat him!" Derpy said.

"Not yet, Shining Armor didn't crush the vital point," Dung Beetle said.

Shining Armor threw the head out of the city and began stomping on the body. "Where is it?" He said. One final step stabbed through the robot's armor.

"You can stop now. It's over," Dung Beetle said. "That final stomp crushed its vital point."

The twelve lights on the panel went out and the monster disappeared from sight.

"My goodness..." Rarity said as the cockpit changed back into an orange void.

"That was amazing!" Rainbow Dash added in disbelief.

"Is it okay if we go outside?" Shining Armor asked.

Dung Beetle teleported everyone to the top of Equextria's head.

"Look at the view!" Sweetie Belle cried.

"We're so high up..." Fluttershy whimpered.

"Shining, I say we go back," Cadance said.

"In a minute, dear," Shining Armor said. He stepped out to the crown of the head, and gave one last scream to the sky. "Alright, now we can go back."

"Come on bro," Twilight chuckled. "You're embarrassing us!" Twilight nudged him with her hoof. Shining Armor's body went limp and he fell off Equextria's head, disappearing into nothingness.

"SHINING ARMOR!!" Cadance wailed, looking over the edge of the head. Tears began streaming down her face and falling down along with her husband. Cadance looked over at Twilight and saw that she was crying worse than she was.

Twilight took gasping breaths and struggled to form words. "I... barely... tapped him..." She seemed like she could pass out any second.

"Oh my gosh... Twilight?" Spike asked quietly.

"I BARELY TAPPED HIM! I BARELY TAPPED HIM! I BARELY TAPPED HIM..." Twilight Sparkle shrieked. She eventually broke down into incoherent screaming and crying.

"No one could survive a fall like that," Sweetie Belle said quietly.

"Not helping Sweetie Belle!" Rarity snapped at her sister.

Once Twilight Sparkle calmed down, she ran up and hugged Princess Cadance.

"I'm so sorry..." Twilight Sparkle said, tears still running down her face. "I killed my brother, and your husband!"

"I know you didn't mean it..." Cadance whispered, also with tears in her eyes.

"We should quit this game..." Fluttershy squeaked, about ready to bawl. "We've caused so much damage here, I can't even stand it!" She began weeping into Big Mac's chest, who wrapped his forelegs around her.

"But we can't quit!" Flash Sentry spoke up. "Once we've signed the contract, there's no turning back!"

"Alright everyone," Applejack said, trying to establish peace. "Let's get a handle on the situation."

"We have to tell somepony about this!" Fluttershy said. "Ponies have died here, that's just unforgivable!"

"No way!" Applejack said. "If word gets out to anyone, we'll become enemies of Equestria!"

"Good suggestion, Miss Element of Honesty!" Rainbow Dash spat back sarcastically. "Besides, we're saving Equestria! Who could hate us for doing that?"

"It's just... I'm a little wound up about this," Applejack said, defeated. "Point is, we should promise not to tell anyone what happened tonight unless we absolutely have to."

"We promise," everyone said.

"I think someone just called my name!" Pinkie Pie said. Her cutie mark changed to two black zigzags.

"Well, Pinkie Pie, it looks like you're the next pilot!" Dung Beetle said.

"Neato!" Pinkie Pie cheered.

"I think we all should go to bed..." Twilight said quietly. "We have an early train back to Ponyville tomorrow."
