Day 36,524 in Equestria. You wake up with a terrible hangover. You don't know where you are. You reach out and accidentally hit a switch. You hear a loud whirring.

"REACTOR ONLINE. SENSORS ONLINE. WEAPONS ONLINE. ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL."

It seems you got drunk and built a Mad Cat. Kewl. You go all Godzilla on Ponyville, shooting lasers and stepping on things. The royal guard is called in, but they stand no chance.

Finally Celestia appears. She can block your shots with her magic, but she's getting weaker.

"GROUP FIRE ENGAGED."

You fire all your weapons at Celestia. The overheat siren begins to wail.

"REACTOR CRITICAL, SHUTDOWN IMMINENT."

No, net yet!

"SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE OVERRIDDEN."

You fire once more and your core goes critical. You, your mech, Celestia, and most of Ponyville are blown into a fine brown powder. Totally worth it.

Today was a good day.
