The robots the humans created were jealous and used their might to make a nuclear winter. They did this by channeling their power to make a irradiated energy blast that caused the coldest temperatures the world has ever known. The humans couldn't really survive in this weather and began to die out, but some of the ponies hid underground to hide them from the harsh nuclear winter, hence the name Earth Pony. The ponies who stood out in the open got irradiated and grew horns that let them use magic, these were called Unicorns. Some grew wings that let them fly up to sixty miles per hour, these were called Pegasi. The ponies on the surface were able to survive the cold using the power of friendship, the said power warming them up until the nuclear winter stopped. Once the cold died out the earth ponies resurfaced and joined their comrades, the ponies retaliated against the robots to avenge their friends and shut them down. They then began to dismantle the robots to use their parts to make pony like robots that were just like actual ponies being nice and kind. These robots were all the rage as ponies began to get angry with each other claiming to start war. That is until a brilliant mind known as Dr. Celestia created six robotic mares bringing peace to Equestria, but a wicked draconequus known as Dr. Discord decided to steal the six mares and use them to cause chaos around the world. Dr. Celestia decided to make a new robot mare in the hopes she could stop Dr. Discord and her mares gone rogue. She named her Mega Mare. There was a flick of a switch and then Mega Mare was online. Mega Mare looked around finding that she was in a room with white walls and ceiling with a beautiful tiled floor. An elegant voice filled the empty room "Good morning young one." It was Mega Mare's creator, Dr. Celestia. "You have been created to do a mission that I cannot do." Mega Mare was silent as she heard this. "Which is to stop Dr. Discord and my six robotic, rogue mares. Each one being an embodiment of the Elements of Harmony." Mega Mare was silent staring at her creator. Dr. Celestia cocked an eyebrow asking "Do you know what the Elements of Harmony are?" Mega Mare shook her head quickly. The kindhearted doctor smiled and answered "They are what made Equestria as peaceful as it is today. The elements consist of six parts. Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, Loyalty, Honesty, and finally Magic. "You must collect all six elements to stop Dr. Discord, don't even try otherwise. "Every time you defeat a robot mare you gain the power of the element she possesses. "The weapon that can help you accomplish this is located on your left hoof. It is known as a mega buster." Mega Mare looked down and surely enough there was a cannon like thing on her left hoof. "The mega buster shoots a raw energy like substance the size of a cannon ball. One shot will be enough to eliminate any small machine, but it's going to take a lot more than one shot to stop the mares." "Take this, you will probably need it." Dr. Celestia used some magic to move a cylinder thing with a P on it towards Mega Mare. "This is a P tank.It can heal any cuts, scraps, gashes, or worse when called upon. "But be warned it can only be used once so use it only when you're in danger." The P tank was than placed in Mega Mare's mega buster. Then she added "Get on that platform over there." The cyan pony nodded and trotted on the platform, her hooves making a clanking noise as she got on said platform. "This is the teleporter that I engineered." Dr. Celestia explained "I made this to help earth ponies get to destinations quicker than before, but I kept one for myself. "When I first made the mares I put a tracking chip so I could find them just in case they broke loose. "Now I programed the teleporter to take you where ever the mares are located. "This is going to take you to the closest one: Honesty Mare. "It should be a linear path after you beat her, but she is tough and so is this journey, but I have faith in you young one. "Now go! The fate of the Earth is now in your hooves." She smiled as her and the land of Earth's last hope teleported away to fight Honesty Mare, the rest of the mares, and stop Dr. Discords rein of terror. Honesty MareA strange, almost alien warping sound echoed throughout the mega, techno city Ponyville. The city was bathed in a wired blue light as Mega Mare appeared outside the town thanks to the teleporter. She began to trot farther down the dirt road, her hooves making a metallic crunching sound on the rubble. She stopped dead in her tracks, looking at her destination in front of her. Sweet Apple Acres. Looking at the orchard in front of her, Mega Mare noticed that it was split in half. One half was completely organic, having brown bark trees that could easily be blown apart by her mega buster. It also had bright red apples hanging from the trees. These trees were meant for the actual ponies. The other half was inorganic having metal instead of dirt and the trees were completely silver! The apples hanging from them looked like gold grenades even though they looked edible. These were meant for robots like her. She drew a conclusion that this orchard supplied both organic and inorganic ponies with food. She than began to trot into Sweet Apple Acres to face her first challenge. Mega Mare felt uneasy trotting through this orchard, manly because you could get ambushed pretty easily in this place. All of these trees made seeing ahead hard, so she decided to stay in the middle even though the ground felt uncomfortable between her hooves. Two of her hooves feeling normal with the metal, the other two felt weird on top of the chalky brown soil. Something started to roll towards her. She adjusted her eyes and saw it was a barrel! She drew her mega buster shooting three energy balls at the barrel, it exploding with a devastating boom! As the smoke cleared she had one question in her head. How the hell did that barrel explode!?! Another barrel rolled down, this time she would try to stop it. She shot one of the organic trees as it fell with a cry in front of her. The barrel stopped near the tree. allowing Mega Mare to look in the inside of said barrel. The barrel was filled to the brim with gunpowder! Honesty Mare must be bucking these barrels down to try to blow Mega Mare into smithereens. She decided to pick up the pace and turned her trot into a gallop blowing up any barrel in her way. From one of the metal trees, two apples fell down hitting her on the noggin. She looked up and around trying to who could've done this when the apples began to move!!! They had four metal legs and looked like they could use them pretty well. Then the apples gained a gun barrel on one of their sides, moving to said side at Mega Mare, as a strange light came from the barrels as bullets sprayed out. Some bullets hit her, but not enough to be lethal, but she ducked behind a tree as it was being blown apart by the psychotic apples to avoid further damage. Guns?!? Why would you give apples guns?!? She got out of her apple tree cover a fired two energy blasts at the apples causing applesauce to hit the trees around her. That was when, no more then five of the gun wielding apples fell from the trees, intent on filling her with bullet holes. She saw one of the explosive barrels behind the apples. With a devious smile on her face she proceeded to shoot the barrel causing it to take the apples with it. She sighed and continued to gallop hoping to find Honesty Mare soon. In mere minutes, Mega Mare reached a clearing, with applesauce on her face. The clearing was strange, instead of it having metal or brown soil, it had real, soft grass. Trees, both organic and medal surrounded her, forming a circle. A strange song filled the emptiness of the clearing, making her ears perk up. A lightning fast hoof bucked her in the side as she fell over, trying to regain the loss of air in her filters. The pony whose hoof knocked her down showed herself. The pony had a yellow coat, with a deadly red colored mane, and a pink bow in said mane sharpened to a fine point, showing murder in her eyes. She then flung the bow out of her hair and the bow flew towards Mega Mare,hitting her and causing a painful gash in her side to appear. She screamed in pain as she steadied her mega buster, she proceeded to fire the mega buster, the mini blast of energy absorbed by the bow, now making a shield to protect the filly. The filly then giggled sickly as she drew her own buster shooting at Mega Mare, causing a burn to appear in her side. The filly was a robot too!?! Must have been one of Honesty Mare's cohorts. She began to get up very shakily, as she ran towards a tree in the outer ring of the clearing. The filly threw her bow again, it started to whirl like a helicopter as it got closer to Mega Mare. Thinking on her feet she shot the tree, it began to shake as four death apples fell, barrels pointing at the bow. Interesting, she thought. Whoever gets them down, they will serve to protect. That turned out to be short lived, as the bow sliced the apples to bits, the apple pieces falling with a clatter. She opened fire on the bow, the bow absorbing each blast as she fired. The blaster began to overheat as she stopped firing, she decided she might try to get the bow to attack the mare instead of her trying to destroy the bow. She began to gallop in the general direction of the filly. She then dove next to the filly as the bow dove between the two, causing pain for both ponies. In the gash on the flank of the filly, she saw a bright, glowing, yellow ball in there, she guessed it was a weak spot she could shoot, but the filly turned around, the bow returning on her head. She had to find a way to get the filly to turn to her injured flank so she could shoot it. The filly then resumed throwing her bow at her, intent on trying to decapitate her. It seemed noticeable that when the filly let go of her bow, her weak point seemed vulnerable. She grinned hoping to put this to the test. She was able to avoid the bow easily as she opened fire on the flank, it glowing brighter then ever. The filly groaned in anger as the bow came back. She leveled her own buster and fired wildly on the ground, causing a dust storm of sorts. Mega Mare coughed as some of the dirt went down her throat. She blinked rapidly, getting the dirt out of her eyes. When the dust settled she found herself alone, the filly having to retreat. She sighed in comfort as she continued to trot along the clearing. She fired her buster, sending another gun holding apple to oblivion. As the smoke cleared a small, yellow sphere remained. She cautiously touched it, causing it to disappear in her buster. She felt a strange cooling sensation around her, when she turned around her gash was gone, leaving only a white scar and a drop of oil. Fascinating! She thought. This pellet heals minor wounds and leaves a scar on worse ones. I need to keep a watch out for these. She then began to gallop towards a bright red barn. She stopped near the barn, it towering over her. She was about to go in when she heard hoof steps. She turned around seeing a cloud of dust get closer to her. She adjusted her eyes, seeing that it was a big, red, and bulky stallion! Without thinking, she dove to the ground and proceeded to open fire on the stallion. She noticed she was doing jack squat and saw a brown collar on the neck of the stallion. She aimed at the collar and within seconds the stallion stopped dead in his tracks and proceeded to fall to the ground. The stallion looked up and muttered "Eeyup!" before shutting down. Mega Mare then opened the door to the barn and entered. The barn had a bunch of hay, barrels of the explosive variety, and a few bright red apples which didn't carry gun barrels. In front of her a giant explosion of dust rocked the barn. For a few seconds she didn't know who did it, but when her eyes adjusted she saw mare in front of her. The mare was light orange with a blonde mane, and a brown cowboy hat. She also had emerald green eyes, looking like they wanted to crush her head. She had to guess that this was Honesty Mare. She had no time to speak as a pair of hooves collided on her ribcage, sending Mega Mare through a wall of the barn. She got up and fired on the mare, to her surprise it actually harmed her. She shot some of the barrels near the mare causing a explosion of sorts to harm anypony near. As the dust settled Mega Mare looked at her wounds. She had some scratches and a few broken ribs. She lifted the P Tank that Dr. Celestia gave her, and drank it greedily as her wounds began to heal, no longer feeling pain in her ribs. Honesty Mare got up pointing her buster at Mega Mare and opened fire. Mega Mare returned fire, each one taking heavy damage. The mini firefight ended as Honesty Mare fell to the ground, cuts and burns around her. Due to the explosion she lost one of her hooves. Mega Mare trotted near Honesty Mare as Honesty Mare spoke, "Thank you for saving me from my prison." "But in order to stop the mad doctor you will need this." Honesty Mare handed Mega Mare a necklace that had three apples on it. "This is my power," Honesty Mare explained. "This will grant you the power to have my strength." "But be warned. When you use it you lose some power. So only use it when you need to." With those words, Honesty Mare shut down, no longer in the clutches of Dr. Discord. The necklace began to glow as a portal appeared in the barn. This must take me to my next challenge, Mega Mare thought, as she stepped into the portal, ready to free another mare from Dr. Discord. Kindness MareKindness Mare A blue vortex appeared followed by a screech in a clearing in the once thick, but now quite dense Everfree Forest. Mega Mare trotted out of the said vortex and looked about before continuing on her perilous journey to rescue another robot mare from Dr. Discord's tyranny. The Everfree forest was much like Sweet Apple Acres except that it only had metallic trees, each one being the purest silver. After looking around Mega Mare noticed that she was boxed in by these silver trees and tried to find a way out. She saw a strange light that bathed a group of trees. That must lead the way to the next mare. She thought as she raised her blaster and fired. The trees just seemed to absorb the blow as she stood there stunned. Much stronger than the ones at Sweet Apple Acres. She concluded as she thought on how to bring these trees down. She remembered getting that necklace from Honesty Mare and put it on. A strange feeling surged through her as her hooves began to get buffer. After the feeling disappeared a voiced filled Mega Mare's head as it spoke with the same voice as Honesty Mare. "Hello there! If you're hearing this than that means that you have defeated me and I gave you my power. Right now I'm going to teach you how to use it. Your hooves are probably extremely buffer than they were before. Did that happen to you yet?" Mega Mare nodded. "Good!" the voice of Honesty Mare replied before continuing. "We're halfway done. Now I'm gonna teach you how to buck. First turn around so your hind legs are facing your target." Mega Mare did as she was told, making sure her hind legs were facing the metallic trees. "Now raise your hind legs." Mega Mare listened and raised her hind legs. "Now kick with them!" Honesty Mare's voice commanded and Mega Mare did a swift kick. It caused a shockwave to appear around her as the tremendous strength of her hooves tore the trees ruffly in half, sending the other half of the trees to fly forward into the light. "There you go! I hope you learned how to buck with this tutorial." With that the voice clicked out of Mega Mare's head as she trotted into the light and further into the Everfree forest. Mega Mare reached a clearing, again much similar to the Sweet Apple Acres clearing. She heard a blood curdling screech followed by rustling of the trees from one of the sides in the clearing. The side was torn open as a monster of metal appeared. It was yellow with a blood red mane and a tail looking like a scorpions. It charged after her as she lifted her mega buster seeing if she could shoot it. It took some damage as it hit her with it's tail. She felt a searing pain as she backflipped away from the monster and turned around and raised her hind legs. It charged her again, but this time she struck first with the buck and sent the monster flying into a group of trees. She then fired her buster causing the monster to combust from heavy damage. She smiled and trotted out of the clearing hoping to reach the next mare in time. The Everfree Forest was filled with all sorts of danger. The type of robots that tried to kill her ranged from annoying bats that could easily be dispatched and more of those yellow-red creatures she encountered before. She was badly injured, but those creatures always left some of those yellow spheres that helped heal her completely. When she reached the exit of the forest she was ambushed by ten metallic bats. She drew out her mega buster and fired causing four of the bats to explode into oblivion. The bats then dived towards her causing another four to meet their demise by her buster. The other two tried to fly away but were easily finished off like they were nothing. She smiled and then continued on towards the exit. Mega Mare stopped dead in her tracks when she got out of that hell of a forest. She found herself staring at a cottage. It was surrounded by ponds and trees. The door to the cottage opened as a white speck came out of it. She adjusted her eyes. No, that wasn't a speck it was a bunny! And it was running towards her! She raised her mega buster hoof and fired missing completely. The bunny then proceeded to bare it's teeth showing fangs that could tear through a battleship like it was nothing. She gulped and readied Honesty Mares power to buck it. When she tried it didn't let her. The same voice that told her how to buck said "Energy low. Can't use apple buck." You've got to be kidding me! She screamed in her head and readied her buster and bean charging. If she stored enough energy she could fire a ultra charge obliterating the bunny in one shot, but she had to be ready when it attacked her. A voice started to talk to her "Ultra charge 20% ready." She needed to hold her ground until it reached 100%. The bunny then bit down on her side making her wince in pain. "50%." The voice rang. She just needed to hold out for a minute. The bunny than walked backwards towards the cottage and began to sprint, showing it's deadly fangs once more. "100%." The voice yelled. She then fired a green wave of energy towards the bunny. The blast was to big for it to avoid so it burned up in the blast and then exploded. When the blast ended a blue can was left having a familiar letter on it. A P-Tank! She galloped towards it and proceeded to drink it. All of her wounds began to slowly heal and she also began to feel the strength coming back to her allowing her to use Honesty Mare's power once more. She then trotted into the cottage ready to fight the mare inside. The interior of the cottage looked like what most ponies expected it to. Wood floor, nice looking furniture, and quite a few bird cages. When she stepped in the door behind her shut with a bang. It was locked meaning the mare is indeed in this cottage. She then perked up her ears hearing slow metallic hoofsteps. When the hoofsteps stopped she found herself staring at the mare in question. The mare had a butterscotch, and metallic body with long, pink mane. She spoke in a quiet voice saying "I'm sorry if I'm bugging you, but are you the mare that's here to steal my power?" Mega Mare nodded. The mare's eyes lit up as she said "So are you ready to try to fight me? My name is Kindness Mare by the way." Mega Mare nodded once more getting in a fighting position. Kindness Mare raised her buster, but was beaten to the draw by Mega Mare as the blast scorched one of her wings. Kindness Mare tried to shoot Mega Mare, but she was to quick for her. Kindness Mare yelled "That's enough!" and opened her eyes to their fullest extent. Mega Mare turned around as she met Kindness Mare's eyes. She tried to raise her buster, but she found out she couldn't. Kindness Mare advanced forward towards Mega Mare, still having her teal eyes glued to her. Kindness Mare then fired a blast that hit the Blue Nigher into one of the walls and outside of the cottage. Mega Mare shook her head. After that blast she was outside and Kindness Mare was advancing. She fired another blast hitting one of the mare's wings once more. She flinched, but regained her composer and opened her soul piercing eyes. They were too much for her as she stood frozen once more, and once again ready to be blasted into oblivion. Wait a minute.... She thought. Maybe I can summon Honesty Mare's powers to help me with this fight! Thank's to the P-Tank she was able to use Honesty Mare powers to buff herself up. This strength was enough for her to move one centimeter while under Kindness Mare's stare. When Kindness Mare got close enough she kicked a little pebble as it collided with Kindness's hoof. She screamed and shut her eyes and ran towards her cottage. The power under her by that stare was gone. Perfect. She raised her buster and fired three bursts, each one colliding with Kindness Mare. Kindness Mare flinched once more as Mega Mare rushed up to her, turned around, raised her hind-hoofs, and used one last buck. The concision of the buck sent Kindness Mare flying as she rammed into a wall and fell onto the cold, unforgiving floor. Mega Mare trotted up to her and laid down next to her. Kindness Mare smiled as a necklace showing a beautiful, pink and blue butterfly landed next to her. "Take this." She stated. "It will allow you to use 'The Stare'. Please save all my other friends." Mega Mare nodded as she picked up the necklace and put it on. After that Kindness Mare gave out one last sun warming smile and faded out of existence. Another portal opened showing the way to the next mare. Mega Mare walked into the portal as it took her to her next challenge. Laughter MareAn orange portal appeared with a very quiet screech as Mega Mare stepped out of it. With a confident grin she trotted over to her next destination, which was located in the desolate mega city of Ponyville. Once she reached her target, she looked at it with her mouth agape. A giant gingerbread house. This just couldn't be the right place for a rogue robotic mare. This was just silly! She honestly couldn't believe that this was the destination. After staring at the confectionery compound for a good minute, she shook her self out of shock and trotted towards the door, but before she could knock on it, a robot, red eye came out of it. "STATE YOUR BUSINESS." It said, getting closer to Mega Mare. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. “STATE YOUR BUSINESS.” It said again. Mega Mare felt a sudden vibration in one of her hoofs as the butterfly necklace appeared in front of her. She shrugged and grabbed the necklace and put on her neck, feeling power course through her body. “Um... Hello.” The voice said, “Do you want to know how to use the stare?” She nodded her head furiously. “Okay... first you need to be looking at your target.” The voice commanded in a quite voice, which Mega Mare did as it said as she looked at the red eye. “Now you need to open your eyes to the fullest.” The voice said. Open your eyes to the fullest? She opened her eyes and stared at the red eye, it shrinking back a bit. “Now, you can either now shoot with your buster, or you could open your mouth and let me do the talking... If that's okay with you.” The voice said, and Mega Mare opened her mouth allowing some sound to go out of it. “Now, listen here mister! You're going to let my friends and I go through here and enter the building,” The voice commanded, before making Mega Mare step towards the red eye, cocking her head and asking in a hellish tone, “Do you understand me?” The red eye nodded before running into the gingerbread house and opening the door, allowing passage for Mega Mare. “That concludes the tutorial for 'The Stare'.” The voice finished before going silent. Mega Mare then stepped into the building, ready to fight anything. The gingerbread house had a very nice interior with it's colorful falls and the like, but Mega Mare still felt that this was just some joke meant to get her in some false sense of security. That's when the ice cream approached her. It was a floating cone of ice cream! Just as she looked at it she fell to the ground, probably because of laughter. The ice cream's top scope floated upwards and a rush of flame was shot towards her. She was able to roll away in time as the flame hit her exact spot she was in, singeing the tiles. Ice cream with a flamethrower? This is insane! Yelled Mega Mare in her mind as she raised her mega buster, firing a round at the ice cream cone causing it to melt as the cone fell to the ground with a clatter. She sighed as she trotted over to an open door, it leading to the kitchen. On the kitchen's tables were cakes, along with some ice cream cones and a... P Tank! She rushed over and grabbed it as she proceeded to put it in one of her hooves. As she did, the ice cream and cakes began to rise. The ice creams raised their top scoops and fired a blast of flame while the cakes fired a barrage of candles towards her. She was able to doge most of the fire and candles, but took a candle to the side. It wasn't like most candles, for this one had a sharp point at the end. She winced as she ducked for cover and started to charge her mega buster for a charged shot. Once she felt the power in her hoof increasing, she released the blast causing all but one cake to turn into ash. The last cake charged towards her, but it got destroyed by a simple mega buster shot. In the ash laid some of those yellow spheres, which Mega Mare picked up, feeling their healing powers as the pain in her side ebbed away. As she walked out of the kitchen, she noticed a flight of stairs near the entrance. Might as well. She thought as she walked up them and spotted a door, just like the one with the eye, but it opened, allowing her passage. She stepped through the door, it leading her to a big room. The room was decorated with balloons and streamers, but the strangest was a baby alligator in the middle of the room. Just then, the door to the room slammed shut, followed by a locking sound. She looked over to the alligator as it charged forward, it clamping on her with a tremendous force... except that it didn't hurt. No, it actually tickled! She swatted the alligator as it drifted back to the middle of the room revealing it to have no teeth. As she looked over at it, the alligator grew a set of teeth. The teeth then launched out of the mouth impacting the ground near her with a devastating boom. She flew backwards and hit the door. The pain was unbearable as she got to her hooves and raised her buster. She was able to fire a few rounds at the alligator as it opened it's mouth, a bright light growing inside of it. A beam of great energy shot out of the alligator as it made it's way behind Mega Mare, an explosion launching her towards the alligator as it got stuck in it's mouth. She fired shots from her mega buster to save herself. Once she was free, she put Honesty Mare's necklace on her neck and kicked the alligator, sending it out a window to which it fell on the hard ground bellow self-destructing into flame. The door opened once the alligator exploded, allowing Mega Mare to exit, but before she could leave, she drank the P Tank, feeling all the pain go away. Once she got down the stairs, she noticed something that wasn't there before. A basement door. She approached it as it opened up, and made her way down. To say it was out of a nightmare would be an overstatement. The room was decorated with balloons, and streamers, much like the other room, but this one was more... friendly. The walls were pink and vibrant, and even the Pink pony in the background was having a smile on her face... Wait... What!?! “Oh! You're here! You're here!” it yelled, approaching Mega Mare and extending a hoof “My name's Laughter Mare, and I made this party just for you!” Mega Mare didn't smile. “Oh, you don't like parties?” she asked with a concern in her voice. She shook her head. “Then why aren't you smiling?” she asked. She pointed a hoof at her. “It's because I'm rogue isn't it?” She nodded. “Okay! Then do you want to fight?” she asked with joy. Mega Mare said nothing, but got into a fighting stance. “Ready? Set? Go!” Laughter Mare yelled, charging towards Mega Mare. She tried to use the apple buck to hit Laughter Mare, but she jumped into the air, shooting Mega Mare with her buster. She felt a sting of pain as she tried to shoot Laughter Mare, but she was too fast to even shoot! Before she even knew it, Mega Mare looked to her side, seeing Laughter Mare point some sort of cannon at her and firing. Confetti hit her hard as she slammed into one of the colorful walls. She decided to put on the butterfly necklace and tried to use the stare ,and to her surprise, it worked. Laughter Mare stood, frozen in time as Mega Mare fired a few rounds at her as Laughter Mare became thawed and made her way to her cannon, firing again. This time, she was able to avoid the confetti blast and returned fire on Laughter Mare. Laughter Mare started to move faster, firing two shots of confetti from the cannon as Mega Mare used The Stare, stopping the confetti and stopping Laughter Mare. She fired one final shot at the pink pony, causing it to fall on the ground, twitching. She walked over to her and a necklace fell to the ground as Mega Mare picked it up. “That contains The Party Cannon,” explained Laughter, “It'll allow you to get rid of a big number of enemies on the field and restores your health if it's robot food like ice cream cones or cakes.” Mega Mare cocked an eyebrow at Laughter Mare as if saying “What the hell do you mean field and health?” Laughter Mare giggled, but soon started coughing up oil “Don't worry, the readers will get it. Now you need to get into this portal,” she pointed a hoof as a red portal appeared “it should lead you to Generosity Mare. Good luck and don't forget to smile.” With that Laughter Mare shut down. Mega Mare nodded as she walked into the portal as it lead her to her next target. Generosity MareA red portal opened followed by streamers as Mega Mare trotted out and looked at her next stop. The place was a carousel, surrounded by trees and shrubbery. When she approached the door she tried to open it. Locked. She tried Apple Bucking it, but to no avail it didn't work. She was contemplating on using The Stare, but it'll probably just make her look silly. She was about to turn around and find some over way in when she felt a vibration in one of her hooves. She opened it and pulled out the source of the vibration: Laughter Mare's necklace. She quickly put it on and once again she heard a voice. "Hiya!" the voice said happily, almost scaring Mega Mare. "Let me guess: Generosity Mare locked the entrance to her lair?" Mega Mare nodded. "That Generosity!" yelled Laughter's voice, "Making sure nopony can come in and kill her! What nerve!" Mega Mare just looked at the door. "Oh yeah! If you want to use the Party Cannon, you're gonna have to listen to me. Are you ready?" the voice asked. Mega Mare nodded. "Okay, first you take out the cannon." The voice instructed. Mega Mare tried to look for the cannon, but she couldn't find it. That is until she check her hoof and found a toy cannon. Once she placed it on the ground it grew into the Party Cannon. She looked at it with amazement. How could it do that? Was the most prominent question on her mind now, but decided it would be better if she just ignored it. "Now light the fuse!" the voice yelled. Mega Mare tried to find something to light until she looked at her mega buster and fired a round at the cannon. The fuse was lit and it made it's way into the cannon. With a deafening boom, the cannon shot a cannon ball as it proceeded to explode into confetti, blasting the door off it's hinges. "That concludes the tutorial of the Party Cannon and I hope you enjoy your fight with Generosity Mare!" the voice exclaimed, shutting off as Mega Mare walked into the carousel. The inside of the carousel was breath taking. The walls were plush with brilliant colors while the room was surrounded by mannequins, each one being garbed in some of the most stunning dresses adorned with gems both big and small. Once she walked in the center of the room the mannequins started to move! Quickly, she raised her hoof and fired a few rounds, obliterating a few of the mannequins, but some of them kept marching forward. She put on the apple necklace and bucked one of the monstrosities, which in turn knocked into another and another. She fired one last time, turning the last mannequin into ash. She smiled as she made her way to a flight of stairs, but stopped once she heard a song. One that she had heard before. And in a blink of an eye it was there. Another filly robot. Instead of an Earth Pony with yellow coat and red mane, this robot was a Unicorn and had a white coat and a mane of different colors like pink and light purple. The filly took a step closer and raised it's buster, and took aim. The filly fired, but Mega Mare dived down just in time as the shot impacted against a wall and sent plaster flying. She quickly rose to her hooves and fired a round at the filly, but it's horn shined a great light as a shield appeared around it, absorbing the blast. The filly raised it's hoof again and unleashed a fury of blast as each one impacted against her. She screamed in agony as she put on Kindness Mare's necklace and stared at the filly, tears in her eyes as she did so from pain. The shield around the filly soon dissipated as it looked to the ground ashamed. Mega Mare took this opportunity and shot a burst of three shots from her buster, each one impacting on the metal of the filly. It seemed to barely hurt the filly as it raised it's buster once more, ready to fight. They soon started to fire and return fire on one another until the filly lowered her buster and rushed towards Mega Mare with her head tilted down, horn ready to impale her. Mega Mare quickly ran to the side, the horn stabbing the wall. The filly desperately tried to get it's horn out, but to no avail the horn wouldn't budge. She took this time to shoot the filly, the horn chipping off as a wisp of smoke surrounded Mega Mare. Once the smoke disappeared, so was the filly with only a large yellow orb remaining. She touched it with a hoof, feeling it's healing magic as the gashes from her fight disappeared. She let out a sigh of relief as she trotted up the stairs and opened the door. The door led to a hallway which intersected into different doors. Generosity Mare must be in here somewhere. Mega Mare thought as she trotted along the red velvet carpets in the hallway, stopping at the first door. She proceeded to open the door and entered. At first glance it looked like nothing, but once she got closer the door shut and she was surrounded by mannequins! Each one's dress was of a different gem: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Topaz. She raised her buster to shoot, but the ruby one knocked her to the ground with a hoof, while the other three started to hold her down. When the ruby one brought her hooves down, her eyes met the eyes of a starer. It was immediately frozen and the other three ran to it's aide, trying to help it. She was able to get to her hooves and fire four shots on her attackers, turning them into nothing, only their gems remaining. When she reached the exit of the room the gems behind her began to shake and made their way to her. With lightning fast reflexes, she was able to avoid the gems as they embedded themselves into the wall. She then totted out of the room and made her way to checking the others. After what seemed to be hours she checked every room, each one filled with hazards, that is until she reached the end of the hallway with two doors. Left or right? She asked herself before some sort of outside force threw her into the left one. The room was a small and circular. It had a red mat in the middle and a cage. When the cage shook it scared her so much that she hid behind the door. The cage swung open as a cat strutted out. Mega Mare cocked an eyebrow at it. Then she broke out into laughter, but immediately stopped when she saw it's claws retract out of it's paws and launched on her face. It started to attack with fury as it's claws made the cuts on her face deeper and deeper. She was able to shake it off and fire a blast at the damn thing, but it unfortunately survived. The cat tried to make another strike, but it was put down by her hoof as she shot one last blast at it, effectively destroying it. She smiled with content as she walked out the room and opened the door to the right. The room was the most beautiful thing she had ever laid eyes on. The whole room was decorated with the most amazing of gems and to top it all off, the rooms color was simply divine with ivory and purple coming together as one perfect wallpaper. She walked further into the room but stopped in her tracks when she saw the pony in the middle. If the room was beautiful then the pony in front of her was one of the most amazing things she'll ever see in her life time. Just like the walls, the pony had the brilliant combination of white and purple. White for the coat while purple for the mane. Her eyes were an amazing blue, one that only helped her beauty rather then render it. The pony turned her head and stared at Mega Mare before saying "Hello there darling! What can I do for you?" Mega Mare's face turned a deep red as she turned her head around, and stared at the ground, slightly of embarrassment because of her wounds and slightly because of envy. Maybe even... Love? She shook her head vigorously. No that can't be it. "Well, it seems like you'll need some help with your whole body!" the pony exclaimed, rushing up to her and enveloping her in a aura of blue as she felt her wounds heal. "There! Now you look less.." the pony looked for the words and said "Uncouth." The pony patted her on the head and said "I'm Generosity Mare. Who are you?" Mega Mare opened her mouth to speak, but Generosity silenced her with a hoof wave "Oh never mind. I'm sure you're the one that's supposed to free me from Dr. Discords hold. Are you?" She nodded her head. Generosity laughed, "Marvelous! Now let's get started shall we?" she asked raising her hoof revealing a buster. She nodded, raising her own hoof in response for the battle to commence. Mega Mare fired first, but Generosity ducked, allowing the shot to be absorbed by the gem encrusted walls. Generosity stood up and channeled her magic in her horn as gems started to be plucked off the walls. Soon the gems joined Generosity as a sphere formed around her. Mega Mare fired a shot, the shot being engulfed by the shield. She tried Apple Bucking it but it only hurt her. She suddenly remembered what Laughter Mare gave her and put on her necklace. She removed the Party Cannon and lit the fuse. Once the cannonball hit, the confetti hit the shield and it shattered, gems going everywhere. Generosity levitated up some of the gems and started to use them as projectiles, two of them digging themselves inside of Mega Mare's shoulders. She screamed in pain as she fell to the ground. Generosity raised her buster and said, "Well, think of it this way: I'm generously killing you instead of letting you live in pain." Mega Mare shot her buster one last time, the blast hitting the cannon and causing it to shoot a cannonball towards Generosity, the ball hitting her mane and sending her towards a wall, one of the diamonds impaling her on impact. Generosity screamed, "My mane looks terrible! This is the worst. Possible. Thing!" Mega Mare rushed to her and quickly brushed the confetti out of her hair. "Thank you so much!" yelled Generosity as she pulled out a necklace and placed it on Mega Mare's hoof. "That my dear contains 'Gem Barricade,'" explained Generosity "It will allow to form a shield out of gems and then use them as weapons when you see fit." A purple portal appeared next to Mega Mare, "This shall lead you to Loyalty Mare," said Generosity "She may not be the most civilized, but she does know how to fight!" "Ta-ta! Remember to rescue my other friends!" yelled Generosity Mare as Mega Mare stepped into the portal. ... "WAIT!" she screamed, causing Mega Mare to appear out of the portal and run towards her. "You'll need these if you would want to stand a chance against Loyalty," she said as she enveloped Mega Mare in a blue light once again, this time causing wings to grow on her back! "This will enable you to walk on the clouds and fly since Loyalty prefers her fights in the skies." Explained Generosity. "But be careful with it," she warned, "If you get to close to the sun with these they'll burn up and you'll fall towards the ground." "Go and rescue Loyalty from Dr. Discord's clutches!" yelled Generosity as she shut down. Mega Mare nodded and made her way to the portal and stepped in, ready to brace the skies. AnnouncementHello everypony! Just wanted to let you know that my friend and I will be writing two separate stories after or during the completion of Mega Mare. My friend will be working on a story called Spike Pilgrim V.S. Equestria, its basically Scott Pilgrim but with ponies and some minor differences. I will be working on an Edd, Ed, Eddy crossover with ponies, where the Ed's appear in Equestria and try to scam everypony. Well, that is about it, and have a Derpy Day! Pre Readers wantedHello everypony, The ArcadeLords here telling you something! Would anypony be willing/wanting to pre-read my friends story Spike Pilgrim v.s. Equestria and my own story Haylo: ODST a spin-off. That's about it, comment if you want to. And we also will be working on a new robot mare master chapter soon as well. Otherwise, Happy reading!
The Awakening (Edited so Mega Mare is silent)Mega Mare Chapter 1: The Awakening Written By:The ArcadeLords It is the year 4000X. 2000 years after Mega Man's triumph over Dr. Wily, ponies became intelligent and lived in peace with the humans. The robots the humans created were jealous and used their might to make a nuclear winter. They did this by channeling their power to make a irradiated energy blast that caused the coldest temperatures the world has ever known. The humans couldn't really survive in this weather and began to die out, but some of the ponies hid underground to hide them from the harsh nuclear winter, hence the name Earth Pony. The ponies who stood out in the open got irradiated and grew horns that let them use magic, these were called Unicorns. Some grew wings that let them fly up to sixty miles per hour, these were called Pegasi. The ponies on the surface were able to survive the cold using the power of friendship, the said power warming them up until the nuclear winter stopped. Once the cold died out the earth ponies resurfaced and joined their comrades, the ponies retaliated against the robots to avenge their friends and shut them down. They then began to dismantle the robots to use their parts to make pony like robots that were just like actual ponies being nice and kind. These robots were all the rage as ponies began to get angry with each other claiming to start war. That is until a brilliant mind known as Dr. Celestia created six robotic mares bringing peace to Equestria, but a wicked draconequus known as Dr. Discord decided to steal the six mares and use them to cause chaos around the world. Dr. Celestia decided to make a new robot mare in the hopes she could stop Dr. Discord and her mares gone rogue. She named her Mega Mare. There was a flick of a switch and then Mega Mare was online. Mega Mare looked around finding that she was in a room with white walls and ceiling with a beautiful tiled floor. An elegant voice filled the empty room "Good morning young one." It was Mega Mare's creator, Dr. Celestia. "You have been created to do a mission that I cannot do." Mega Mare was silent as she heard this. "Which is to stop Dr. Discord and my six robotic, rogue mares. Each one being an embodiment of the Elements of Harmony." Mega Mare was silent staring at her creator. Dr. Celestia cocked an eyebrow asking "Do you know what the Elements of Harmony are?" Mega Mare shook her head quickly. The kindhearted doctor smiled and answered "They are what made Equestria as peaceful as it is today. The elements consist of six parts. Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, Loyalty, Honesty, and finally Magic. "You must collect all six elements to stop Dr. Discord, don't even try otherwise. "Every time you defeat a robot mare you gain the power of the element she possesses. "The weapon that can help you accomplish this is located on your left hoof. It is known as a mega buster." Mega Mare looked down and surely enough there was a cannon like thing on her left hoof. "The mega buster shoots a raw energy like substance the size of a cannon ball. One shot will be enough to eliminate any small machine, but it's going to take a lot more than one shot to stop the mares." "Take this, you will probably need it." Dr. Celestia used some magic to move a cylinder thing with a P on it towards Mega Mare. "This is a P tank.It can heal any cuts, scraps, gashes, or worse when called upon. "But be warned it can only be used once so use it only when you're in danger." The P tank was than placed in Mega Mare's mega buster. Then she added "Get on that platform over there." The cyan pony nodded and trotted on the platform, her hooves making a clanking noise as she got on said platform. "This is the teleporter that I engineered." Dr. Celestia explained "I made this to help earth ponies get to destinations quicker than before, but I kept one for myself. "When I first made the mares I put a tracking chip so I could find them just in case they broke loose. "Now I programed the teleporter to take you where ever the mares are located. "This is going to take you to the closest one: Honesty Mare. "It should be a linear path after you beat her, but she is tough and so is this journey, but I have faith in you young one. "Now go! The fate of the Earth is now in your hooves." She smiled as her and the land of Earth's last hope teleported away to fight Honesty Mare, the rest of the mares, and stop Dr. Discords rein of terror.
Honesty MareA strange, almost alien warping sound echoed throughout the mega, techno city Ponyville. The city was bathed in a wired blue light as Mega Mare appeared outside the town thanks to the teleporter. She began to trot farther down the dirt road, her hooves making a metallic crunching sound on the rubble. She stopped dead in her tracks, looking at her destination in front of her. Sweet Apple Acres. Looking at the orchard in front of her, Mega Mare noticed that it was split in half. One half was completely organic, having brown bark trees that could easily be blown apart by her mega buster. It also had bright red apples hanging from the trees. These trees were meant for the actual ponies. The other half was inorganic having metal instead of dirt and the trees were completely silver! The apples hanging from them looked like gold grenades even though they looked edible. These were meant for robots like her. She drew a conclusion that this orchard supplied both organic and inorganic ponies with food. She than began to trot into Sweet Apple Acres to face her first challenge. Mega Mare felt uneasy trotting through this orchard, manly because you could get ambushed pretty easily in this place. All of these trees made seeing ahead hard, so she decided to stay in the middle even though the ground felt uncomfortable between her hooves. Two of her hooves feeling normal with the metal, the other two felt weird on top of the chalky brown soil. Something started to roll towards her. She adjusted her eyes and saw it was a barrel! She drew her mega buster shooting three energy balls at the barrel, it exploding with a devastating boom! As the smoke cleared she had one question in her head. How the hell did that barrel explode!?! Another barrel rolled down, this time she would try to stop it. She shot one of the organic trees as it fell with a cry in front of her. The barrel stopped near the tree. allowing Mega Mare to look in the inside of said barrel. The barrel was filled to the brim with gunpowder! Honesty Mare must be bucking these barrels down to try to blow Mega Mare into smithereens. She decided to pick up the pace and turned her trot into a gallop blowing up any barrel in her way. From one of the metal trees, two apples fell down hitting her on the noggin. She looked up and around trying to who could've done this when the apples began to move!!! They had four metal legs and looked like they could use them pretty well. Then the apples gained a gun barrel on one of their sides, moving to said side at Mega Mare, as a strange light came from the barrels as bullets sprayed out. Some bullets hit her, but not enough to be lethal, but she ducked behind a tree as it was being blown apart by the psychotic apples to avoid further damage. Guns?!? Why would you give apples guns?!? She got out of her apple tree cover a fired two energy blasts at the apples causing applesauce to hit the trees around her. That was when, no more then five of the gun wielding apples fell from the trees, intent on filling her with bullet holes. She saw one of the explosive barrels behind the apples. With a devious smile on her face she proceeded to shoot the barrel causing it to take the apples with it. She sighed and continued to gallop hoping to find Honesty Mare soon. In mere minutes, Mega Mare reached a clearing, with applesauce on her face. The clearing was strange, instead of it having metal or brown soil, it had real, soft grass. Trees, both organic and medal surrounded her, forming a circle. A strange song filled the emptiness of the clearing, making her ears perk up. A lightning fast hoof bucked her in the side as she fell over, trying to regain the loss of air in her filters. The pony whose hoof knocked her down showed herself. The pony had a yellow coat, with a deadly red colored mane, and a pink bow in said mane sharpened to a fine point, showing murder in her eyes. She then flung the bow out of her hair and the bow flew towards Mega Mare,hitting her and causing a painful gash in her side to appear. She screamed in pain as she steadied her mega buster, she proceeded to fire the mega buster, the mini blast of energy absorbed by the bow, now making a shield to protect the filly. The filly then giggled sickly as she drew her own buster shooting at Mega Mare, causing a burn to appear in her side. The filly was a robot too!?! Must have been one of Honesty Mare's cohorts. She began to get up very shakily, as she ran towards a tree in the outer ring of the clearing. The filly threw her bow again, it started to whirl like a helicopter as it got closer to Mega Mare. Thinking on her feet she shot the tree, it began to shake as four death apples fell, barrels pointing at the bow. Interesting, she thought. Whoever gets them down, they will serve to protect. That turned out to be short lived, as the bow sliced the apples to bits, the apple pieces falling with a clatter. She opened fire on the bow, the bow absorbing each blast as she fired. The blaster began to overheat as she stopped firing, she decided she might try to get the bow to attack the mare instead of her trying to destroy the bow. She began to gallop in the general direction of the filly. She then dove next to the filly as the bow dove between the two, causing pain for both ponies. In the gash on the flank of the filly, she saw a bright, glowing, yellow ball in there, she guessed it was a weak spot she could shoot, but the filly turned around, the bow returning on her head. She had to find a way to get the filly to turn to her injured flank so she could shoot it. The filly then resumed throwing her bow at her, intent on trying to decapitate her. It seemed noticeable that when the filly let go of her bow, her weak point seemed vulnerable. She grinned hoping to put this to the test. She was able to avoid the bow easily as she opened fire on the flank, it glowing brighter then ever. The filly groaned in anger as the bow came back. She leveled her own buster and fired wildly on the ground, causing a dust storm of sorts. Mega Mare coughed as some of the dirt went down her throat. She blinked rapidly, getting the dirt out of her eyes. When the dust settled she found herself alone, the filly having to retreat. She sighed in comfort as she continued to trot along the clearing. She fired her buster, sending another gun holding apple to oblivion. As the smoke cleared a small, yellow sphere remained. She cautiously touched it, causing it to disappear in her buster. She felt a strange cooling sensation around her, when she turned around her gash was gone, leaving only a white scar and a drop of oil. Fascinating! She thought. This pellet heals minor wounds and leaves a scar on worse ones. I need to keep a watch out for these. She then began to gallop towards a bright red barn. She stopped near the barn, it towering over her. She was about to go in when she heard hoof steps. She turned around seeing a cloud of dust get closer to her. She adjusted her eyes, seeing that it was a big, red, and bulky stallion! Without thinking, she dove to the ground and proceeded to open fire on the stallion. She noticed she was doing jack squat and saw a brown collar on the neck of the stallion. She aimed at the collar and within seconds the stallion stopped dead in his tracks and proceeded to fall to the ground. The stallion looked up and muttered "Eeyup!" before shutting down. Mega Mare then opened the door to the barn and entered. The barn had a bunch of hay, barrels of the explosive variety, and a few bright red apples which didn't carry gun barrels. In front of her a giant explosion of dust rocked the barn. For a few seconds she didn't know who did it, but when her eyes adjusted she saw mare in front of her. The mare was light orange with a blonde mane, and a brown cowboy hat. She also had emerald green eyes, looking like they wanted to crush her head. She had to guess that this was Honesty Mare. She had no time to speak as a pair of hooves collided on her ribcage, sending Mega Mare through a wall of the barn. She got up and fired on the mare, to her surprise it actually harmed her. She shot some of the barrels near the mare causing a explosion of sorts to harm anypony near. As the dust settled Mega Mare looked at her wounds. She had some scratches and a few broken ribs. She lifted the P Tank that Dr. Celestia gave her, and drank it greedily as her wounds began to heal, no longer feeling pain in her ribs. Honesty Mare got up pointing her buster at Mega Mare and opened fire. Mega Mare returned fire, each one taking heavy damage. The mini firefight ended as Honesty Mare fell to the ground, cuts and burns around her. Due to the explosion she lost one of her hooves. Mega Mare trotted near Honesty Mare as Honesty Mare spoke, "Thank you for saving me from my prison." "But in order to stop the mad doctor you will need this." Honesty Mare handed Mega Mare a necklace that had three apples on it. "This is my power," Honesty Mare explained. "This will grant you the power to have my strength." "But be warned. When you use it you lose some power. So only use it when you need to." With those words, Honesty Mare shut down, no longer in the clutches of Dr. Discord. The necklace began to glow as a portal appeared in the barn. This must take me to my next challenge, Mega Mare thought, as she stepped into the portal, ready to free another mare from Dr. Discord.
Kindness MareKindness Mare A blue vortex appeared followed by a screech in a clearing in the once thick, but now quite dense Everfree Forest. Mega Mare trotted out of the said vortex and looked about before continuing on her perilous journey to rescue another robot mare from Dr. Discord's tyranny. The Everfree forest was much like Sweet Apple Acres except that it only had metallic trees, each one being the purest silver. After looking around Mega Mare noticed that she was boxed in by these silver trees and tried to find a way out. She saw a strange light that bathed a group of trees. That must lead the way to the next mare. She thought as she raised her blaster and fired. The trees just seemed to absorb the blow as she stood there stunned. Much stronger than the ones at Sweet Apple Acres. She concluded as she thought on how to bring these trees down. She remembered getting that necklace from Honesty Mare and put it on. A strange feeling surged through her as her hooves began to get buffer. After the feeling disappeared a voiced filled Mega Mare's head as it spoke with the same voice as Honesty Mare. "Hello there! If you're hearing this than that means that you have defeated me and I gave you my power. Right now I'm going to teach you how to use it. Your hooves are probably extremely buffer than they were before. Did that happen to you yet?" Mega Mare nodded. "Good!" the voice of Honesty Mare replied before continuing. "We're halfway done. Now I'm gonna teach you how to buck. First turn around so your hind legs are facing your target." Mega Mare did as she was told, making sure her hind legs were facing the metallic trees. "Now raise your hind legs." Mega Mare listened and raised her hind legs. "Now kick with them!" Honesty Mare's voice commanded and Mega Mare did a swift kick. It caused a shockwave to appear around her as the tremendous strength of her hooves tore the trees ruffly in half, sending the other half of the trees to fly forward into the light. "There you go! I hope you learned how to buck with this tutorial." With that the voice clicked out of Mega Mare's head as she trotted into the light and further into the Everfree forest. Mega Mare reached a clearing, again much similar to the Sweet Apple Acres clearing. She heard a blood curdling screech followed by rustling of the trees from one of the sides in the clearing. The side was torn open as a monster of metal appeared. It was yellow with a blood red mane and a tail looking like a scorpions. It charged after her as she lifted her mega buster seeing if she could shoot it. It took some damage as it hit her with it's tail. She felt a searing pain as she backflipped away from the monster and turned around and raised her hind legs. It charged her again, but this time she struck first with the buck and sent the monster flying into a group of trees. She then fired her buster causing the monster to combust from heavy damage. She smiled and trotted out of the clearing hoping to reach the next mare in time. The Everfree Forest was filled with all sorts of danger. The type of robots that tried to kill her ranged from annoying bats that could easily be dispatched and more of those yellow-red creatures she encountered before. She was badly injured, but those creatures always left some of those yellow spheres that helped heal her completely. When she reached the exit of the forest she was ambushed by ten metallic bats. She drew out her mega buster and fired causing four of the bats to explode into oblivion. The bats then dived towards her causing another four to meet their demise by her buster. The other two tried to fly away but were easily finished off like they were nothing. She smiled and then continued on towards the exit. Mega Mare stopped dead in her tracks when she got out of that hell of a forest. She found herself staring at a cottage. It was surrounded by ponds and trees. The door to the cottage opened as a white speck came out of it. She adjusted her eyes. No, that wasn't a speck it was a bunny! And it was running towards her! She raised her mega buster hoof and fired missing completely. The bunny then proceeded to bare it's teeth showing fangs that could tear through a battleship like it was nothing. She gulped and readied Honesty Mares power to buck it. When she tried it didn't let her. The same voice that told her how to buck said "Energy low. Can't use apple buck." You've got to be kidding me! She screamed in her head and readied her buster and bean charging. If she stored enough energy she could fire a ultra charge obliterating the bunny in one shot, but she had to be ready when it attacked her. A voice started to talk to her "Ultra charge 20% ready." She needed to hold her ground until it reached 100%. The bunny then bit down on her side making her wince in pain. "50%." The voice rang. She just needed to hold out for a minute. The bunny than walked backwards towards the cottage and began to sprint, showing it's deadly fangs once more. "100%." The voice yelled. She then fired a green wave of energy towards the bunny. The blast was to big for it to avoid so it burned up in the blast and then exploded. When the blast ended a blue can was left having a familiar letter on it. A P-Tank! She galloped towards it and proceeded to drink it. All of her wounds began to slowly heal and she also began to feel the strength coming back to her allowing her to use Honesty Mare's power once more. She then trotted into the cottage ready to fight the mare inside. The interior of the cottage looked like what most ponies expected it to. Wood floor, nice looking furniture, and quite a few bird cages. When she stepped in the door behind her shut with a bang. It was locked meaning the mare is indeed in this cottage. She then perked up her ears hearing slow metallic hoofsteps. When the hoofsteps stopped she found herself staring at the mare in question. The mare had a butterscotch, and metallic body with long, pink mane. She spoke in a quiet voice saying "I'm sorry if I'm bugging you, but are you the mare that's here to steal my power?" Mega Mare nodded. The mare's eyes lit up as she said "So are you ready to try to fight me? My name is Kindness Mare by the way." Mega Mare nodded once more getting in a fighting position. Kindness Mare raised her buster, but was beaten to the draw by Mega Mare as the blast scorched one of her wings. Kindness Mare tried to shoot Mega Mare, but she was to quick for her. Kindness Mare yelled "That's enough!" and opened her eyes to their fullest extent. Mega Mare turned around as she met Kindness Mare's eyes. She tried to raise her buster, but she found out she couldn't. Kindness Mare advanced forward towards Mega Mare, still having her teal eyes glued to her. Kindness Mare then fired a blast that hit the Blue Nigher into one of the walls and outside of the cottage. Mega Mare shook her head. After that blast she was outside and Kindness Mare was advancing. She fired another blast hitting one of the mare's wings once more. She flinched, but regained her composer and opened her soul piercing eyes. They were too much for her as she stood frozen once more, and once again ready to be blasted into oblivion. Wait a minute.... She thought. Maybe I can summon Honesty Mare's powers to help me with this fight! Thank's to the P-Tank she was able to use Honesty Mare powers to buff herself up. This strength was enough for her to move one centimeter while under Kindness Mare's stare. When Kindness Mare got close enough she kicked a little pebble as it collided with Kindness's hoof. She screamed and shut her eyes and ran towards her cottage. The power under her by that stare was gone. Perfect. She raised her buster and fired three bursts, each one colliding with Kindness Mare. Kindness Mare flinched once more as Mega Mare rushed up to her, turned around, raised her hind-hoofs, and used one last buck. The concision of the buck sent Kindness Mare flying as she rammed into a wall and fell onto the cold, unforgiving floor. Mega Mare trotted up to her and laid down next to her. Kindness Mare smiled as a necklace showing a beautiful, pink and blue butterfly landed next to her. "Take this." She stated. "It will allow you to use 'The Stare'. Please save all my other friends." Mega Mare nodded as she picked up the necklace and put it on. After that Kindness Mare gave out one last sun warming smile and faded out of existence. Another portal opened showing the way to the next mare. Mega Mare walked into the portal as it took her to her next challenge.
Laughter MareAn orange portal appeared with a very quiet screech as Mega Mare stepped out of it. With a confident grin she trotted over to her next destination, which was located in the desolate mega city of Ponyville. Once she reached her target, she looked at it with her mouth agape. A giant gingerbread house. This just couldn't be the right place for a rogue robotic mare. This was just silly! She honestly couldn't believe that this was the destination. After staring at the confectionery compound for a good minute, she shook her self out of shock and trotted towards the door, but before she could knock on it, a robot, red eye came out of it. "STATE YOUR BUSINESS." It said, getting closer to Mega Mare. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. “STATE YOUR BUSINESS.” It said again. Mega Mare felt a sudden vibration in one of her hoofs as the butterfly necklace appeared in front of her. She shrugged and grabbed the necklace and put on her neck, feeling power course through her body. “Um... Hello.” The voice said, “Do you want to know how to use the stare?” She nodded her head furiously. “Okay... first you need to be looking at your target.” The voice commanded in a quite voice, which Mega Mare did as it said as she looked at the red eye. “Now you need to open your eyes to the fullest.” The voice said. Open your eyes to the fullest? She opened her eyes and stared at the red eye, it shrinking back a bit. “Now, you can either now shoot with your buster, or you could open your mouth and let me do the talking... If that's okay with you.” The voice said, and Mega Mare opened her mouth allowing some sound to go out of it. “Now, listen here mister! You're going to let my friends and I go through here and enter the building,” The voice commanded, before making Mega Mare step towards the red eye, cocking her head and asking in a hellish tone, “Do you understand me?” The red eye nodded before running into the gingerbread house and opening the door, allowing passage for Mega Mare. “That concludes the tutorial for 'The Stare'.” The voice finished before going silent. Mega Mare then stepped into the building, ready to fight anything. The gingerbread house had a very nice interior with it's colorful falls and the like, but Mega Mare still felt that this was just some joke meant to get her in some false sense of security. That's when the ice cream approached her. It was a floating cone of ice cream! Just as she looked at it she fell to the ground, probably because of laughter. The ice cream's top scope floated upwards and a rush of flame was shot towards her. She was able to roll away in time as the flame hit her exact spot she was in, singeing the tiles. Ice cream with a flamethrower? This is insane! Yelled Mega Mare in her mind as she raised her mega buster, firing a round at the ice cream cone causing it to melt as the cone fell to the ground with a clatter. She sighed as she trotted over to an open door, it leading to the kitchen. On the kitchen's tables were cakes, along with some ice cream cones and a... P Tank! She rushed over and grabbed it as she proceeded to put it in one of her hooves. As she did, the ice cream and cakes began to rise. The ice creams raised their top scoops and fired a blast of flame while the cakes fired a barrage of candles towards her. She was able to doge most of the fire and candles, but took a candle to the side. It wasn't like most candles, for this one had a sharp point at the end. She winced as she ducked for cover and started to charge her mega buster for a charged shot. Once she felt the power in her hoof increasing, she released the blast causing all but one cake to turn into ash. The last cake charged towards her, but it got destroyed by a simple mega buster shot. In the ash laid some of those yellow spheres, which Mega Mare picked up, feeling their healing powers as the pain in her side ebbed away. As she walked out of the kitchen, she noticed a flight of stairs near the entrance. Might as well. She thought as she walked up them and spotted a door, just like the one with the eye, but it opened, allowing her passage. She stepped through the door, it leading her to a big room. The room was decorated with balloons and streamers, but the strangest was a baby alligator in the middle of the room. Just then, the door to the room slammed shut, followed by a locking sound. She looked over to the alligator as it charged forward, it clamping on her with a tremendous force... except that it didn't hurt. No, it actually tickled! She swatted the alligator as it drifted back to the middle of the room revealing it to have no teeth. As she looked over at it, the alligator grew a set of teeth. The teeth then launched out of the mouth impacting the ground near her with a devastating boom. She flew backwards and hit the door. The pain was unbearable as she got to her hooves and raised her buster. She was able to fire a few rounds at the alligator as it opened it's mouth, a bright light growing inside of it. A beam of great energy shot out of the alligator as it made it's way behind Mega Mare, an explosion launching her towards the alligator as it got stuck in it's mouth. She fired shots from her mega buster to save herself. Once she was free, she put Honesty Mare's necklace on her neck and kicked the alligator, sending it out a window to which it fell on the hard ground bellow self-destructing into flame. The door opened once the alligator exploded, allowing Mega Mare to exit, but before she could leave, she drank the P Tank, feeling all the pain go away. Once she got down the stairs, she noticed something that wasn't there before. A basement door. She approached it as it opened up, and made her way down. To say it was out of a nightmare would be an overstatement. The room was decorated with balloons, and streamers, much like the other room, but this one was more... friendly. The walls were pink and vibrant, and even the Pink pony in the background was having a smile on her face... Wait... What!?! “Oh! You're here! You're here!” it yelled, approaching Mega Mare and extending a hoof “My name's Laughter Mare, and I made this party just for you!” Mega Mare didn't smile. “Oh, you don't like parties?” she asked with a concern in her voice. She shook her head. “Then why aren't you smiling?” she asked. She pointed a hoof at her. “It's because I'm rogue isn't it?” She nodded. “Okay! Then do you want to fight?” she asked with joy. Mega Mare said nothing, but got into a fighting stance. “Ready? Set? Go!” Laughter Mare yelled, charging towards Mega Mare. She tried to use the apple buck to hit Laughter Mare, but she jumped into the air, shooting Mega Mare with her buster. She felt a sting of pain as she tried to shoot Laughter Mare, but she was too fast to even shoot! Before she even knew it, Mega Mare looked to her side, seeing Laughter Mare point some sort of cannon at her and firing. Confetti hit her hard as she slammed into one of the colorful walls. She decided to put on the butterfly necklace and tried to use the stare ,and to her surprise, it worked. Laughter Mare stood, frozen in time as Mega Mare fired a few rounds at her as Laughter Mare became thawed and made her way to her cannon, firing again. This time, she was able to avoid the confetti blast and returned fire on Laughter Mare. Laughter Mare started to move faster, firing two shots of confetti from the cannon as Mega Mare used The Stare, stopping the confetti and stopping Laughter Mare. She fired one final shot at the pink pony, causing it to fall on the ground, twitching. She walked over to her and a necklace fell to the ground as Mega Mare picked it up. “That contains The Party Cannon,” explained Laughter, “It'll allow you to get rid of a big number of enemies on the field and restores your health if it's robot food like ice cream cones or cakes.” Mega Mare cocked an eyebrow at Laughter Mare as if saying “What the hell do you mean field and health?” Laughter Mare giggled, but soon started coughing up oil “Don't worry, the readers will get it. Now you need to get into this portal,” she pointed a hoof as a red portal appeared “it should lead you to Generosity Mare. Good luck and don't forget to smile.” With that Laughter Mare shut down. Mega Mare nodded as she walked into the portal as it lead her to her next target.
Generosity MareA red portal opened followed by streamers as Mega Mare trotted out and looked at her next stop. The place was a carousel, surrounded by trees and shrubbery. When she approached the door she tried to open it. Locked. She tried Apple Bucking it, but to no avail it didn't work. She was contemplating on using The Stare, but it'll probably just make her look silly. She was about to turn around and find some over way in when she felt a vibration in one of her hooves. She opened it and pulled out the source of the vibration: Laughter Mare's necklace. She quickly put it on and once again she heard a voice. "Hiya!" the voice said happily, almost scaring Mega Mare. "Let me guess: Generosity Mare locked the entrance to her lair?" Mega Mare nodded. "That Generosity!" yelled Laughter's voice, "Making sure nopony can come in and kill her! What nerve!" Mega Mare just looked at the door. "Oh yeah! If you want to use the Party Cannon, you're gonna have to listen to me. Are you ready?" the voice asked. Mega Mare nodded. "Okay, first you take out the cannon." The voice instructed. Mega Mare tried to look for the cannon, but she couldn't find it. That is until she check her hoof and found a toy cannon. Once she placed it on the ground it grew into the Party Cannon. She looked at it with amazement. How could it do that? Was the most prominent question on her mind now, but decided it would be better if she just ignored it. "Now light the fuse!" the voice yelled. Mega Mare tried to find something to light until she looked at her mega buster and fired a round at the cannon. The fuse was lit and it made it's way into the cannon. With a deafening boom, the cannon shot a cannon ball as it proceeded to explode into confetti, blasting the door off it's hinges. "That concludes the tutorial of the Party Cannon and I hope you enjoy your fight with Generosity Mare!" the voice exclaimed, shutting off as Mega Mare walked into the carousel. The inside of the carousel was breath taking. The walls were plush with brilliant colors while the room was surrounded by mannequins, each one being garbed in some of the most stunning dresses adorned with gems both big and small. Once she walked in the center of the room the mannequins started to move! Quickly, she raised her hoof and fired a few rounds, obliterating a few of the mannequins, but some of them kept marching forward. She put on the apple necklace and bucked one of the monstrosities, which in turn knocked into another and another. She fired one last time, turning the last mannequin into ash. She smiled as she made her way to a flight of stairs, but stopped once she heard a song. One that she had heard before. And in a blink of an eye it was there. Another filly robot. Instead of an Earth Pony with yellow coat and red mane, this robot was a Unicorn and had a white coat and a mane of different colors like pink and light purple. The filly took a step closer and raised it's buster, and took aim. The filly fired, but Mega Mare dived down just in time as the shot impacted against a wall and sent plaster flying. She quickly rose to her hooves and fired a round at the filly, but it's horn shined a great light as a shield appeared around it, absorbing the blast. The filly raised it's hoof again and unleashed a fury of blast as each one impacted against her. She screamed in agony as she put on Kindness Mare's necklace and stared at the filly, tears in her eyes as she did so from pain. The shield around the filly soon dissipated as it looked to the ground ashamed. Mega Mare took this opportunity and shot a burst of three shots from her buster, each one impacting on the metal of the filly. It seemed to barely hurt the filly as it raised it's buster once more, ready to fight. They soon started to fire and return fire on one another until the filly lowered her buster and rushed towards Mega Mare with her head tilted down, horn ready to impale her. Mega Mare quickly ran to the side, the horn stabbing the wall. The filly desperately tried to get it's horn out, but to no avail the horn wouldn't budge. She took this time to shoot the filly, the horn chipping off as a wisp of smoke surrounded Mega Mare. Once the smoke disappeared, so was the filly with only a large yellow orb remaining. She touched it with a hoof, feeling it's healing magic as the gashes from her fight disappeared. She let out a sigh of relief as she trotted up the stairs and opened the door. The door led to a hallway which intersected into different doors. Generosity Mare must be in here somewhere. Mega Mare thought as she trotted along the red velvet carpets in the hallway, stopping at the first door. She proceeded to open the door and entered. At first glance it looked like nothing, but once she got closer the door shut and she was surrounded by mannequins! Each one's dress was of a different gem: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, and Topaz. She raised her buster to shoot, but the ruby one knocked her to the ground with a hoof, while the other three started to hold her down. When the ruby one brought her hooves down, her eyes met the eyes of a starer. It was immediately frozen and the other three ran to it's aide, trying to help it. She was able to get to her hooves and fire four shots on her attackers, turning them into nothing, only their gems remaining. When she reached the exit of the room the gems behind her began to shake and made their way to her. With lightning fast reflexes, she was able to avoid the gems as they embedded themselves into the wall. She then totted out of the room and made her way to checking the others. After what seemed to be hours she checked every room, each one filled with hazards, that is until she reached the end of the hallway with two doors. Left or right? She asked herself before some sort of outside force threw her into the left one. The room was a small and circular. It had a red mat in the middle and a cage. When the cage shook it scared her so much that she hid behind the door. The cage swung open as a cat strutted out. Mega Mare cocked an eyebrow at it. Then she broke out into laughter, but immediately stopped when she saw it's claws retract out of it's paws and launched on her face. It started to attack with fury as it's claws made the cuts on her face deeper and deeper. She was able to shake it off and fire a blast at the damn thing, but it unfortunately survived. The cat tried to make another strike, but it was put down by her hoof as she shot one last blast at it, effectively destroying it. She smiled with content as she walked out the room and opened the door to the right. The room was the most beautiful thing she had ever laid eyes on. The whole room was decorated with the most amazing of gems and to top it all off, the rooms color was simply divine with ivory and purple coming together as one perfect wallpaper. She walked further into the room but stopped in her tracks when she saw the pony in the middle. If the room was beautiful then the pony in front of her was one of the most amazing things she'll ever see in her life time. Just like the walls, the pony had the brilliant combination of white and purple. White for the coat while purple for the mane. Her eyes were an amazing blue, one that only helped her beauty rather then render it. The pony turned her head and stared at Mega Mare before saying "Hello there darling! What can I do for you?" Mega Mare's face turned a deep red as she turned her head around, and stared at the ground, slightly of embarrassment because of her wounds and slightly because of envy. Maybe even... Love? She shook her head vigorously. No that can't be it. "Well, it seems like you'll need some help with your whole body!" the pony exclaimed, rushing up to her and enveloping her in a aura of blue as she felt her wounds heal. "There! Now you look less.." the pony looked for the words and said "Uncouth." The pony patted her on the head and said "I'm Generosity Mare. Who are you?" Mega Mare opened her mouth to speak, but Generosity silenced her with a hoof wave "Oh never mind. I'm sure you're the one that's supposed to free me from Dr. Discords hold. Are you?" She nodded her head. Generosity laughed, "Marvelous! Now let's get started shall we?" she asked raising her hoof revealing a buster. She nodded, raising her own hoof in response for the battle to commence. Mega Mare fired first, but Generosity ducked, allowing the shot to be absorbed by the gem encrusted walls. Generosity stood up and channeled her magic in her horn as gems started to be plucked off the walls. Soon the gems joined Generosity as a sphere formed around her. Mega Mare fired a shot, the shot being engulfed by the shield. She tried Apple Bucking it but it only hurt her. She suddenly remembered what Laughter Mare gave her and put on her necklace. She removed the Party Cannon and lit the fuse. Once the cannonball hit, the confetti hit the shield and it shattered, gems going everywhere. Generosity levitated up some of the gems and started to use them as projectiles, two of them digging themselves inside of Mega Mare's shoulders. She screamed in pain as she fell to the ground. Generosity raised her buster and said, "Well, think of it this way: I'm generously killing you instead of letting you live in pain." Mega Mare shot her buster one last time, the blast hitting the cannon and causing it to shoot a cannonball towards Generosity, the ball hitting her mane and sending her towards a wall, one of the diamonds impaling her on impact. Generosity screamed, "My mane looks terrible! This is the worst. Possible. Thing!" Mega Mare rushed to her and quickly brushed the confetti out of her hair. "Thank you so much!" yelled Generosity as she pulled out a necklace and placed it on Mega Mare's hoof. "That my dear contains 'Gem Barricade,'" explained Generosity "It will allow to form a shield out of gems and then use them as weapons when you see fit." A purple portal appeared next to Mega Mare, "This shall lead you to Loyalty Mare," said Generosity "She may not be the most civilized, but she does know how to fight!" "Ta-ta! Remember to rescue my other friends!" yelled Generosity Mare as Mega Mare stepped into the portal. ... "WAIT!" she screamed, causing Mega Mare to appear out of the portal and run towards her. "You'll need these if you would want to stand a chance against Loyalty," she said as she enveloped Mega Mare in a blue light once again, this time causing wings to grow on her back! "This will enable you to walk on the clouds and fly since Loyalty prefers her fights in the skies." Explained Generosity. "But be careful with it," she warned, "If you get to close to the sun with these they'll burn up and you'll fall towards the ground." "Go and rescue Loyalty from Dr. Discord's clutches!" yelled Generosity as she shut down. Mega Mare nodded and made her way to the portal and stepped in, ready to brace the skies.
AnnouncementHello everypony! Just wanted to let you know that my friend and I will be writing two separate stories after or during the completion of Mega Mare. My friend will be working on a story called Spike Pilgrim V.S. Equestria, its basically Scott Pilgrim but with ponies and some minor differences.
