Author's Note

Well I'm at a new college and it is worse than ever. All right I have one or two old friend's. But the upsetting banter is worse than ever. "He cant pull a rotten tooth from a dead horses head!" Was one line I one picked up on that they say.

Here if any one is willing I think some better art cover is in order so if you find anything fitting let me know or if you wana make something I'll give you a shout our or something.

Ignore me I'm rambling.

Night Night.

Night Night.

Ross woke with a start. He lifted his head up and looked round. He had fallen asleep in the command throne of the ACU. The monitor listed what he had been building and he recognized the list as a standard city fortification. He looked down to find he was in full uniform and his gas mask was on.

Ross looked at his hands "O...god..."

Luna sat in the throne looking at the ceiling. A batpony servant trotted up to her a cup of tea sat on the tray held in his mouth. Luna took it with a murmured of thanks and the servant bowed and backed away.

There was a scream and a pony in a trench coat burst through the doors, tripping over his hoofs and the sword he had on his belt. The guard's dog piled him and more jumped onto the top. Luna put her cup of tea down and rose from her throne. "WHO ARE THY!" Luna shouted in the Royal Canterlot Voice.

The pony's head protruded from under the pile Luna saw its face and head where covered but in a mask and helmet that looked familiar....

"FUCK SAKE LUNA HELP ME!!!" Ross's voice came from the pony.

"Ross!?!" Luna stared in disbelief. The pony nodded as best he could.

"Off. Get off him." Luna said and the guard's got off Pony Ross. Ross stood after a few attempt's the sword stuck in-between his back leg's.

"What the fuck happened to me?" Ross asked as he tried to extract his sword from between his legs. Luna stared in disbelief. The tea cup snorted and Luna looked at it "Discord!”

There was a bang and Discord stood there smiling "You called?" He asked and Ross tripped over his back legs.

"What the... what are you?" Ross asked twisting his head inquisitively from his sitting position.

Discord's face turned into a grim "I am what is called a Draconequus!"

"What?" Ross said in a voice the just stated confusion

"Never mind." Discord said off handed and vanished into a cloud of smoke. "So how my I help you then?" Ross revolver asked the room. Ross threw it at the floor and there was a flash as Discord re-materialized. "Now that..." Discord snapped his fingers Ross was flung up into the ceiling and stayed there. "...was not very nice."

Ross looked down from his position on the high valeted ceiling "I'm tripping balls up here! Get me down...Please!"

Discord smirked as he snapped his fingers again and Ross dropped like a stone. Ross closed his eyes as the floor was about to meet him. He kept them closed then opened them to find a deep blue aura surround him. Ross put his hoofs on the floor and the aura vanished. Ross remembered the aura from the battle with the commandos and the time Luna enchanted his coat. "Thank you Luna."

A few minutes later and there was a bang, a cloud of smoke and Ross sat there looking confused once he took his gas-mask off. "Is there any way to tell who did that to me?" Luna shook her head.

"While all magical creatures have a unique foot print when they cast spells. I have not seen one like the spell that was cast on you." Luna watched as Ross picked himself off the floor and straighten his coat, check he did not have a tail and his ears where on the side of his head as opposed to on top.

"Well princess I must leave my watch starts in a few hours." Ross bowed then walked out the door, with his scabbed swaying with his walk.

Ross stood in on the rampart's over the gate. He'd been there for almost the entire day watching the road and train track's that led towards Canterlot.

Through the day he had heard a few explosions probably from the mines or the vehicles they had blown up.

There was a silence then a blinding flash of light. "BRACE!" Ross bellowed as the mushroom cloud appeared and the white shortwave sped towards Ross. The shock wave hit and Ross stumbled. He stood still and forced his fingers into his ears. A second later the sound wave hit him and despite his finger's he was defend for a few second's. Ross pulled his fingers out of his ears and watched as the mushroom cloud reached high into the atmosphere. Then suddenly a second light blinded him. "AGAIN!" Ross bellowed.

A few hours later Ross saw the head of the convoy approach the city from the woods and he wave a sentry over. "All crews to their guns. Start the bombardment."

A few minutes later the Hell hammers and Klink Hammer where firing. Sending shells down onto the Seraphim who properly stated to dig themselves into trenches and other attempts to hide from the bombardment. Ross raised a flare gun and fired it, the red orb glowed and then the bombardment sub sided. The Seraphim stayed in there trenches.

"and so it begins...the siege of Canterlot...." Ross though as he moved from his position on the rampart's.

The mirror rose up past the lip of the trench, held aloft by the knife it was stuck to. Ross sat under the mirror, notebook in his lap he was sketching the mass of creators into a rough map.

Ross handed the not book to Moonlight "Last time ask me."

Moonlight started the test to check Ross had memorize the terrain. "OK Section Alpha. Number of craters?"

Ross closed his eye's and the mental image of the no man's land came into his mind. "Section Alpha. There are five craters. Alpha B, Bravo, Charley, Delta and Echo."

Moonlight nodded. "There distance from the trench?"

"Alpha B is ten meters from us, Bravo and Charley are thirteen meters from us, Delta is seventeen meters from us and Echo is fifty meters from us...and on their line."

Ross opened his eyes and Moonlight smiled. "All correct, Now what is all this for?"

Luna looked at Ross. "You want me to do what!?" She stared at him in disbelief. Ross stood in his battle dress. Shotgun over his shoulder and repeated his request.

"Dime the star's and the moon for a minute. Just this ones please."

Luna looked at him. "I don't think I can..." Ross broke his stance and moved closer to her. "Pleas all may depend on this night."

Ross tied the rope round his waist then looked at the trail of ponies. "If the rope is severed try to head back to this trench 'cause I’m going all the way." The pony's nodded and Ross climbed up the ladder, he spun the shotgun's revolving chamber, he pressed a one of the night vision goggles into his right eye as he saw Luna escorted by some of her bat ponies step down into the trench.

Luna could see Ross standing on the ladder and the rope leading to the other ponies. She nodded and they all saluted back.

She stood in the trench looking up at her celestial body; she closed her eyes and concentrated hard. Slowly o so slowly the stars started going out as she bent there light to reflect away from the planet. They started going out faster till only the moon was left.

Luna forced the splinting headache back and the moon started to dime.

Ross started in case that was all he was going to get. The pony's moved up the ladder as they felt the pull on the rope.

Ross quickly crawled along on his belly. He felt a crater to his right and ticked the first creator in his head.

Luna concentrated harder and harder on dimming the moon. Then she felt faint and stopped before she passed out. There was a snap and the moon and star's where back. Ross looked up. "Damn it! Well you did your best Luna." Ross continued to crawl through the no man’s land the trail of ponies following behind him.

Ross stopped as he heard voices and looked up through his gas mask. There were several order troops mingling around a heavy machine gun. Ross reached back and grabbed a specially made grenade. He had removed the explosive heads from several of his grenades and lashed them together around one that still had a handle attached. Ross pulled the pin and the bundle of grenade towards the gun pit. It whistled through the air and landed among the troops, a second later there was a fiery explosion and bodies were thrown through the air. Ross stood up and charged out through the mud to the trench.

Somehow a trooper had survived and it saw him charging towards his trench. He raised a knife bur Ross raised his shotgun and fired.

Ross jumped down into the trench and started making his way along it to the middle of the line where the command dig out was likely to be. Ponies dropped in after him, cutting themselves free of the rope and started to swarm down the trenches. Ross signaled Mac to go down a trench that led deeper into the network.

Ross saw two guard's outside of a dug out. He fired and they fell. The door opened and Ross smashed into it shoulder first. The door fell in on its hinges and Ross stumbled in.

There where charts and other detritus of command. Ross did a double take on the bed was two women scantily dressed and hiding under the blanket.

There was a banging from under the door that was under his feet. Ross steeped off and found the Order commander in an over flash uniform. He had dark, blue eyes and fair skin.

Ross raised his shotgun and smashed his face with the stock of his gun. The hauled him up off the floor and onto a pony's back. He started tearing the dig-out apart. He took map's chart's and others document's, snuffing them into pouches and pocket's.

Ross opened a cupboard and found several cloaked. Ross remembered the two joy-girl's in the bed, he pulled the shotgun onto his shoulder and pulled a set of the cloaks out.

He walked to the bed and the two joy-girls hid under the blanket more. Ross looked up and pulled his gas mask and helmet off and once again fixed them to his left Epaulet.

"Come on put theses on." He offered one of his gloved hand's to the first the one she had blond hair that reached down to the small of her back her green eye's looked into Ross's deep blue ones. She took his offered hand and slid out of the bed. Ross kept looking into her eye's while he unfolded one of the cloak's and wrapped her in it. He repented this for the seconded. This one had light brown skin. Light blue eye's and short Platinum hair they sat there on the bed looking up at him nervously.

Ross looked out the door as shouting of pony's running up the trench met his ear's. He pulled his mask and helmet back on. He looked round the dig out one last time, then at the two joy-girl's. Ross tipped his helmet and ran out the door way and into the night.

The two girl's looked at each other, they started giggling and blushing. "He was cute!" The blond one said. The tan one blushed deeper. "He was so handsome! He did't even look down at our boob's! " The two drew the cloak's round them tighter the fine fabric hugged there hour glass figures and highlighting there ample bust's.

Ross started down the trench his webbing, ammo pouch's, ammo, and other thing's started rattling as he jogged down to where they breached the trench network.

Ross saw the pony's where almost back at the home trench line. There was a thundering noise and he looked up at the Seraphim ACU looking down at him. It's light's blazing angrily.

"O sssssssssshit!" Ross started walking backward's then he threw himself at the wall of the trench and started to scramble up the wall. The ACU brought all it's gun's down to point him. He forced his limb's into over drive. He scrambled over the edge then threw himself into a crater as the ACU fired into the trench missing him by inches. Ross was out of the crater and ruining as fast as his leg's could go. Ross saw the trench come into view and next thing he knew he was sailing through the air.

He started coming down to earth. "This was going to hit. No this was really! Going to hurt. " Ross braced himself and no sooner he smashed into the wall of the trench and fell into the few inches of standing water. Ross blacked out for a few second's but then sat up. His neck hurt like bloody murder. Ross rolled his head it and his neck responded. It let out as series of creak's and pop's there was a loud crack and the pain left. Ross then haled himself from the muddy water and stood.

Luna watched as the cannon fired down silhouetting Ross and she watched in horror as Ross was lunched easily twenty or thirty feet then flew into the trench. He hit the wall head first and lay there. Luna ran up to Ross but she felt her panic subside as Ross sat up.

"Got what you wanted?" Luna asked and Ross nodded as he lent on the wall of the trench. "That and more."

Ross lent over the desk that was in the war room he stood in a few day's ago when he arrived, the varies document's, map's, note's and letter's. All pointed to the same thing. They where in for the hurt locker. THe sege was hevily on the Order's side, juging by the troop manifest he found. Ross stood he needed to start making his army strong. Ross rubbed his eye's he was tired and sour all over but he knew he had to work through the night.

The ACU woke in the night. It's generator coughing and roaring replaced by a loud humming of the reactor. Pony's watched as it lit up, light's blazing in the night.
The ACU creaked and squeaked as oil and other lubricant's where being forced into joint's and other small part's that had run dry when Unbreakable had been standing.

Ross twisted his hand's to the right and the ACU swung on it's hip pivot round the where the small factory that birthed God Killer sat. Ross's eye's adjusted as the visor of the engineering mode blazed into life

The cannon's glowed as there dater command's where transmitter to the factory and it started to de-construct. Ross was already starting to fall asleep and he remembered a song that some of the foot slugger's where singing when they where on there daily run round the base. Ross flicked through the music option's and found a backing track to match the lyric's. A rock tune came on and Ross sat up in the thrown.

" Into the Motherland
The Seraphim army march!

In the UEF on world in dispute.

Tanks line up in thousands as far the eye can see
Ready for the onslaught.
Ready for the fight.
Waiting for the Seraphim to march into the trap
Mines are placed in darkness
In the cover of the night!
Waiting to be triggered
When the time is right
Imminent invasion, imminent attack!

Once the battle started...
There's no turning back!

The end of Man draws near
It's time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
It's time.... to attack!

Into the Motherland the Seraphim army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Order charge
Obsidian's on our soil a thunder in the air
sixty million men at war
UEF wrath unleashed!

Fields of wheat
Where the heat of battle burned.
Suffered heavy losses
The tide of war was turned
Driving back the Order
Fighting on all fronts
Hunt them out of the UEF.
Out of order land
Reinforce the front line
Force the Order to retreat
Send in all the reserves
Securing their defeat
Soldiers of the Union
Broke there citadel
Ruins of an army
The Order rest in hell!

The end of Man draws near
Its time has come to an end
The end of an era is here
Its time to attack.

Into the Motherland the Seraphim army march
Comrades stand side by side to stop the Order charge
Obsidian's on our soil a thunder in the air
fifty million men at war
UEF wrath unleashed!..."

There was a lull in the singing as Ross shouted his own part he liked to add. "Onward comrades! Onward's for the UEF!! Charge!!!!"
The he keep singing

"...Ow The UEF!
Union of world's
Will of the people
Strong in command!
Ow The UEF!
Union of world's
Once more victorious the Grate Army stands!

The end of Seraphim draws near.
Its time has come to an end!
The end of an era is here...
Its time.... to attack!!!

Into the There land the UEF army march
Comrades charge side by side to brake the Order line.
Pillar's on there soil a thunder in the air.
thirty million men at war
The UEF's wrath unleashed!!!"

Ross watched as the final few pieces of the Land factory unfolded and locked into place. The light's on the land factory lighted up and the Engineering visor raised up and Ross looked round for the space for another factory.

As the night marched on Ross continued building and singing more song's as he did, most where old war song's or song's about heroes of old and new except for one.

The music was slow and sweet. Ross's voice complemented it perfectly. It was a old song , older than the Infinite War it's self.

Unbeknownst to Ross he had accidentally knocked the External Address System on, thankfully onto it's lowest setting but it was still enough to wake pony's for a few hundred feet to wake up. But most where reduced to tear's with in a few word's.

In the Castle's throne room Luna looked up from the once again empty Night Court as the voice made it's way to her.

Ross blissful of this continued building as he sung.

It was in a old tong from his home. Nobody knew what the word's meant but all could tell it was a song of a solder separated from his lover.

Ross sung the last few lyric's as the last part's of the factory slid into place, Unbreakable stood there like a Cartographer studying the land. Ross nodded, smile and started typing on the keyboard under the monitor to his left. As one the factory's started, light blazed in to the early morning light, the mechanical arm's started assembling the first of meany Striker's, so soon crawl on the world.

There was a click and Ross looked down to find he had cort on the EAS switch and he knocked it off, hoping he had only just knocked it on.

Dawn the next day

Celestia gently swooped through the air and looked down at the strange building's now covering most of the garden's, most of the smaller ones where spinning while what looked like lightning arched between there internal working's. Others spun then dropped into the ground like it was pumping something up from the depths.

She saw the ACU standing by the entrance of the gardens and in front of a few group's of neatly lined contraption's. She landed softly on top of the ACU. Her gold horse shoes burly clicking as them met the metal beneath. She raped the hatch on top and a few second's later the hatch open revile a groggy looking Ross.

"O...hi..." There was a clatter of boot's on metal as Ross dropped back into gut's of Unbreakable. "Well come in then..."

Celesta's all ready tired features shifted to show a look of concern as she attempted to lower her self in through the hatch. Ross saw she was struggling to clime down and then took her into his arm's and lowed her to the floor. Celestia felt her cheek's blaze as Ross picked her up. She was not use to being handled in such are uncouth way. But that was not to say she did not mind it.

Ross gently flicked some of Celesta's main off his shoulder and nodded as he then sat down on the command throne.

Celestia took her first look round at what called home when he was not at base. She was shocked. "He is expected to live and fight from here? I would not condom a criminal to be kept in here."

She looked round as Ross forced his back into the head rest and there was a wearing sound. A device extended from behind the head rest. Celestia watched then cringed as a needle piston'd into Ross's neck from the side of the throne. Ross shook his head and she saw his pules contract to pin prick's.

Ross felt his energy skyrocket as the sleep singes where blocked and the adrenaline pumped through his body. "Gggoooddd Morning!"
