//-------------------------------------------------------// Super Robot Taisen: Equestrian Clash -by Tythen- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue: An old and new threat //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue: An old and new threat There was once an evil demon centaur known as Tirek. He rose from Tartarus to absorb all of the magic from the lands and the ponies. As we all know the story, Tirek was defeated by Princess Twilight and her friends and banished once more back to Tartarus. Now as the "Princess of Friendship", Twilight and her friends lived happily in her castle stationed in Ponyville, watching over the ponies and keeping the peace. This peace has gone for a few years... And then... Things... Got pretty bad. "Hoo boy! That's a big one!!!" Shining Armor and his Lieutenant admired his sister's castle from the train. "That is agreeable Captain." Flash Sentry, Shining's lieutenant, nodded. "I guess she has really outgrown me." Shining Armor chuckled "Princess Twilight's actions are extraordinary." Flash complimented "taking down one of the most fearsome villains in the history of Equestria. I'm just a royal guard, I've got no chance facing any of Equestria's biggest villains, but I'm honoured serving under the Princess' brother." "You're too kind Lieutenant." Shining blushed "but, there's a problem with you." "Is there something I have done wrong? Did I perform any misconduct during my duties?" "That's the problem Flash. You have not done any single act that soiled the name of the Royal Guard. Not since you've graduated from the Royal Guard academy all the way through promotion to my Second-hand-stallion. You've been supporting me and helping me throughout the entire time, not even for self-publicity and I'm getting a bit tired about this. You've been too devoted to your duty." "Sir. As much as I care about you as my superior. I took my job not just as a soldier of Equestria, but to also ensure the welfare and survival of my two siblings." "I see. They live in Ponyville too?" "Yes, unless you grant me permission to visit them, I will not leave your side and my post." "Now, that's a bit harsh, I'm not giving you permission. You are to visit your family in Ponyville and that's an order." "Thank you sir." "Besides." Shining nudged "don't you also have a special somepony to see as well? Like... My sister?" "Not at all sir." "WHAT!?" Shining spluttered "Your sister is a gallant and gorgeous mare, but I do not know her very well, other than the fact that she bumped into me twice. That's why I gave a small smile to her before heading back to the Crystal Empire when Princess Cadence visited her" "Flash..." "And yes, you also told me that she has a crush on me. Or was that her friends spreading the rumour? Anyway, she is not my coltfriend. To be honest, whenever she visits the Crystal Empire, she seems to smile and wink every time she passes me... Sir, no offence intended, but I get scared around her, even though I help her out just like I help others. But if you have to drag me along to visit her, I have no complaints, qualms or questions." "Very good... But being scared with my sister, this seems to be a problem. But orders are orders." Shining grinned "Captain... Is there something you are not telling me?" "Heh heh heh... I forgot to tell you, your post has been changed now." "Captain!?" "Relax, it's not punishment, and you hardly deserve any anyway. When you get there, you'll still keep your rank, but you will be appointed as the first guard of this castle, no longer serving under me." "So, where am I appointed to, and to who?" "Don't you see Flash? We're heading towards your new post!" He laughed pointing towards the castle located in Ponyville. "Oh no..." Flash stated, fear rising in him. "Oh! What a coincidence! That means you'll be serving under Twily! Don't do any tricks on her, understand?" "Sir..." Flash started, then cried and tried to run away "no! Please! Let me go back to the Crystal Empire!!!" "Calm down Flashy!" Shining grabbed him "you have to learn to follow somepony else's orders!" "WHY DID YOU DO THIS!?!?" "Orders from high above. My wife, Princess Celestia and Luna agreed to this: The change of appointment of the Royal Guard Flash Sentry was drafted by none other than Twilight herself due to protection of Ponyville. But knowing my sister, she has other 'personal reasons'..." "That's an abuse of power..." "Well hey, I tried to defend you into saying that you're my loyal Second-hand stallion and that you get upset and shy around woman." "Well... Thanks. I'll just brood about my fate to come. Hope this train ride can stay long." Flash muzzled "Ha ha! Well, don't worry. She's a very nice mare who will take well to you." "She already does... Just to change the subject sir, I have a question." "Yes?" "It just suddenly occurred to me, but do you think that there are more lands or even more worlds than Equestria? Worlds that have different inhabitants who are different to us?" "Who knows Flash? Who knows?" Meanwhile in Tartarus, a thin looking centaur was stomping around. "The time has come" the centaur said "It's time... For my revenge!!!" and with that, seas of flames rose from the lava and engulfed him, transforming into his final strengthened form. "I am powerful once more... And I will send my revenge to the Princesses. Especially you, Princess Twilight!!! Come forth my allies from another world!!!" He chanted and multiple bright lights appeared, one was a portal out to a random area of Equestria but the other portals lack a picture and instead, hundreds of monstrosities poured out from each of the portals, most of them looked like large two-legged monsters all made out of metal. "The time has come my friends. I shall take Equestria and you shall rule with me and have your destruction!" And the centaur was replied with roars and cheers of fury "That is... If I will." The centaur chuckled. The beautiful castle nestled in the area where Golden Oak Library once was, stood tall over the free town of Ponyville. Six mares, a baby dragon and a Draconequus were waiting outside to greet two Stallions walking towards them. "Princess." Shining and Flash bowed "Arise." Twilight replied chuckling "can we not be so formal?" "Not at all" Shining replied "In that case... Hello my big BBBFF!!!" Twilight yelled and rushed to Shining and nuzzled him. "Good to see you too Twily. And look who've I brought!" He pointed to Flash "your first royal guard for your new castle!" Flash gulped. "...Flash!? You're my first ever royal guard! I can't believe it!" Twilight squealed "surely this must be fate or destiny!" "Twilight..." Rainbow piped up "he already knows you've picked him personally." "Lady Rainbow is correct." Flash answered with a nervous-looking smile "So this is the castle then?" Shining looked up "It's very beautiful!" "Agreed." Flash added "Why thank you!" Twilight blushed "and you'll be living here too Flash. The guard quarters are big and spacious, but you'll get lonely inside. Since you're the only guard, I'll assign you to one of the guest-rooms." "Just as long as it's not anywhere near you..." Flash hoped to himself. "You know what? I think I'll put you in the room right opposite mine! So you can wake me up when it's time to do princess duties!" "Crap..." Flash cursed then spoke aloud "Permission to visit my family now sir?" "Nuh-uh Flash! Remember, until I give you the order to visit your family." "Me and my big mouth..." "So, are there any problems with the castle?" Shining continued "There's just this mysterious door in the castle that can't be opened by any means known right now." Twilight replied "Now Flash, before I let you go to see your younger siblings, here's what's going to happen now." Shining briefed as he pulled out a scroll "once you settle into your new post, you will follow the commands and orders of Princess Twilight and her friends, they will be your responsibility. At the end of the day, you will see Princess Twilight for discussion of your daily guard report and future missions and events over a romantic dinner at your expense. No objections?" "So this is what my life's going to be from now on..." Flash sighed regretfully then replied "no objections sir." "Good. You may now go see your family. Fall out." Shining commanded and Flash replied with a salute before flying off. "Twily, I entrust my finest and most loyal Lieutenant to you." Shining turned his attention "he will be obedient. I can guarantee you that." "I will." "And don't get too close to him, he doesn't appreciate it, and neither will I." "Okay then." "So may I take the tour of your castle?" "Then follow me!" Princess Celestia flew to a barren woodland full of dead trees and lack of vegetation. The bloody red skies loomed above her. "Tirek!" She called out "I know you are here! Come on out!" "There's nothing to see here Princess..." A voice replied, she refused to move and asked more questions "How did you get out of Tartarus? What are you planning?" "Time. When you had your period of peace, I had my period of gaining power." The voice replied "Tirek! Show yourself!!!" She commanded "I never got out of Tartarus." The voice replied "I control it now!!!" And with a wild laugh, a portal of fire appeared before Celestia's eyes as the Demon Centaur stepped out. "Tirek..." Celestia growled "How was Equestria princess? Better than before when I was gone?" Tirek greeted "What are you planning?" Celestia repeated "Not to absorb the magic of poines, that's for sure. That's just excess energy. I'm here for something bigger. Revenge!!!" "I'm not sure you've learnt your lesson. Even without absorbing our powers to gain your final form, we can still defeat you." "Or will you now? Can you really defeat me and my new allies?" "Allies? You mean Chrysalis and Sombra?" "Yessss... I am back from the dead." Sombra appeared next to Tirek "And I too have returned!!!" Chrysalis flew down on the other side of Tirek "Hello once again... Princess." A devilish looking unicorn also walked and stood beside Sombra. "Hmm... Even still, I won't hold back and neither will Equestria." Celestia faltered with fear in his voice "Giving up so easily?" Tirek picked up "you really think that's all? I'm afraid that is the tip of the iceberg!" "How? Those are all the villains that my dear student and her friends faced and defeated!" "Villains in Equestria yes! But I'm afraid I've made more allies than these three, and they're not even in Equestria!!!" And with a snap of his fingers, portals appeared around the villainous bunch and 11 mechanical giants emerged from the portals. "Mankind is responsible for the destruction of their land... The same goes with ponykind!" A voice called out "All living beings are destined for endless conflict and death... Even ponykind!" Another voice called out "Heh heh... It's time to have some fun with some pretty ponies!!!" A third voice "Even if you're a God, I'm a better one." A fourth voice "This world shall be mine." A lady's voice "The end justifies the means. The Gekiganger reigns supreme!" A sixth voice "This world hosts an abnormal power. One that I will soon control!" A seventh voice "I shall conquer this world!" An eighth voice (jeez... I have no idea how to phrase this) "The Radam shall control this world!" A ninth "Ha ha ha!!! I will rule this world!!!" A tenth "Ponies, Earth monkeys, they are all the same to me, and I want them dead!" And the eleventh voice rung out "I-Impossible!!!" Celestia cried "eleven different... Bipedal monsters!?!?" "Allow me to introduce you to my otherworldly allies, they are known as humans. Although we are a bit bigger than them, they have such knowledge on technology and pilot these 'bipedal monsters" made from steel, their preferred term are... Robots." "Well, we shall see how the power of magic can taste the power of steel!" Celestia taunted "How much steel?" One of the voices replied and with a signal, hordes of robots came pouring out. "N-No... There's no many." "This is my new power Celestia!" Tirek laughed "let's see how long you can survive! I'll give you a 5 day head-start of preparation and I will release these blood thirsty beasts!!! I will rule Equestria once more!!!" And with that, Tirek blasted Celestia and sent her flying. "Why can't we fight now? I want to have fun!!!" The third voice moaned "In due time..." Tirek chuckled "This castle does indeed look fabulous in the inside just like the outside!" Shining admired "Yes it does." Rarity replied "It's such a nice place, all the animals can run around!" Fluttershy added "Hey... Wonder where that Flash stallion ran off to?" Applejack asked "From all I know, he could definitely be avoiding Twilight!" Pinkie Pie guessed "but after visiting his siblings, I have a hunch he's at that mysterious door Twilight was talking about before." Sure enough, Flash was indeed there, inspecting the big arched double door from top to bottom. He tried to pull on it, but it won't budge. "Figured out you'd be here." A voice replied with Flash turning around to see the baby dragon. "Master Spike." Flash replied "Shining told me you always had a knack for uncovering mysteries." "That so?" "Twilight also like to uncover mysteries too, just like you. She also tried to open that door." "Master..." "Although both of you may be different in pony kind and status, both of you have a lot in common." "But..." "I also know about your fear of Twilight... The reason why she has feelings for you, is because of a past adventure with me in another dimension." "... Really?" "You see..." Spike was about to explain until Princess Luna and Cadence rushed in. "Everypony! There is an emergency!" Luna yelled out "What's wrong?" Twilight, her friends and Shining galloped to the entrance followed by Spike and Flash "Hmm... Princess Celestia is missing... Where is she?" Shining asked "That's part of the problem! We need to head to Canterlot immediately!" Cadence explained "WHAT?" The rest reacted "We must make haste to Canterlot!!!" Flash commanded After a quick train trip to Canterlot, the group visited Princess Celestia in the throne room. There, Princess Celestia's wounds were getting treated. "Celestia!" Discord gasped with horror and rushed to her side "are you ok?" "I'm ok Discord." Celestia comforted "but I'm afraid neither me nor Equestria will be after a few days." "What happened?" Twilight asked "Tirek has returned..." "WHAT!?" The group replied "With Sombra, Chrysalis and Sunset Shimmer..." "WHAT!?!?" "And that's not all... With a endless army of... What did he call them?... Mechanical monsters called robots." "... What's a robot?" Spike broke the silence of confusion "She said it was a mechanical giant..." Rarity repeated "That 'robot' sounds dangerous." Applejack noted "Yes... He and his allies has given us a time limit of 5 days, before he attacks." Celestia warned "Then... Do we have a plan?" Twilight asked "It's time to bring it out... Luna?" Celestia answered "B-But... That entity... It's power is unimaginably dangerous!" Luna replied "We have no choice Luna. Get it out." Celestia ordered and with no other objections, Luna galloped as fast as she could. "Princess, just what is this entity?" Shining asked "The identity of this entity is only privy to me and Luna. We have encountered this entity more than 5 thousand years ago" "Oh, I remember." Discord remembered "Yes, you were there. This entity has been ravaging many lands of Equestria and it took nearly the powers of me, Luna and Discord to defeat it as consequence and sealed it in another world for it's atrocious crimes." "And now you want to revive it?" Rainbow replied "I'm sure that it will gain respect and fear from its conquerors. With seeing me, Luna and Discord, It'll definitely help us." "...Or kill us..." Applejack whispered "I have got it sister!" Luna came back in carrying a stash of CD cases placed in a special container with her magic "I have left it in my room." "That's not what you're supposed to bring." Celestia sighed "Nay sister, you see..." Luna replied as she neatly pulled out a stack of CD cases and a yellow orb. "I hid it in here." And presented to Celestia before putting the CD cases back. "Really?" Celestia cringed "oh well... It matters not. Stand back my little ponies." She warned and started chanting a spell "Inhabitants from another world! Lend me your ears!" "Um... Celestia dear?" Discord started but Celestia was still concentrating. In another world called the planet Earth, the spectral image of Celestia appeared in different areas of the world. 2 warships, a big boat and a submarine, as well as some few other places. The people known as humans saw the image of Celestia and cowered with fear. "W-What's that on top?" "My world is going to suffer a great and terrible war..." Celestia started "Well... Seems pretty common in our world!" "That's not funny Dearka." "I'm afraid that our power alone cannot stop them..." Celestia continued "And what? You want us to help? Well here's the thing. We don't know you or your world, and even if we WANT to help, how are we supposed to get there?" "I don't think you can ask whatever that is questions..." "I have called upon you as I have observed your power for long." Celestia continued "I'm not sure if you know me as much as I do not know you, in dire times like these, I have no choice but to call you." "Um... Auntie?" Cadence warned but she did not hear her. "A villain has threatened to attack the lands of Equestria with other villains and has new deadly allies that pilot mechanical beasts." Celestia addressed to the Earth "Mechabeasts!? They've attacked that world!? I thought we've done them in!" "No you dummy! That thing said mechanical beasts! But... It does sound like these 'Mechanical beasts' are mechabeasts." "They are known as robots." Celestia added "Now that certainly is a problem..." "The wrath of war robots have reached that peaceful world? That's horrible!!!" "I am afraid my world will come to an end if I don't stop him. All of you are my last resort, if you wish to help, lend me your strength! You are my world's last hope!!!" Celestia pleaded "Princess? Princess!!!" Discord waved in front of her but she didn't budge. "Princess! You're..." Spike reasoned to no avail The humans who were hearing the spectral image of Celestia came to a decision. "You know, we should help her. I mean, we may not know a lot about their world, but we certainly know about robots and what damage they can do." "I've always known to protect the Earth, it has been pretty peaceful, but if someone calls for help, even in another world. I'll give my strength in too!" "I may be a mercenary, but I still have my values. If there is any payment in this, I will join this battle." "Shucks, I hate war, and this gathering here in the Archangel was supposed to be a celebration about peace-time. But I cannot stand by to see innocents getting killed, I guess we can help." "By the way" Celestia added "I forgot to mention that you do not have a choice in this, I will use my power to bring you and whatever strength you have into my world so prepare yourself!" "H-Hey, WAIT!!! We're signing up now!?" "With my power combined with a small item as a reagent, I can bring you forth without any harm made!" Celestia briefed and raised a bit to which the humans took it as a coin. "This is the item I will use to bring anypony from another world. Now, I shall chant the spell..." "NO! PRINCESS!!! DON'T DO IT!!!" Pinkie yelled "STOP!!!" Rarity screamed. Everypony tried to stop Celestia but she started chanting the spell "Beings from another world! I summon your aid!" Celestia chanted and as light came from her eyes, the bit dissolved into light and caused a big flash in the room. "NOOOO!!!! You've... You've... Summoned the wrong... Thing." Twilight cried before fainting from the light "Sister... M-My Anime..." Luna yelped before fainting as the rest of the ponies, dragon and draconequus fainted too. In the other world, as Celestia released the blinding light, it shone upon the areas where her image was. Nothing happened for a few seconds but from each area, one human began to glow and parts of the human began to disappear. "Wh-What's happening to me!" "Something's wrong with your body!... And so is your Brain!" "Hey guys! The Mazinkaiser is glowing and disappearing... And WHY is Koji glowing and disappearing too!?" "Your hands, your legs, it's dissolving!!!" "M-My body... Some energy seems to be eating me up. This energy is linked to the light around me, as this energy eats me and dissolving my body, I am... Feeling... Unwell... Going... To... Faint." "This burning... It's burning worse than red!!! I feel like this burn is going to kill me!!!!" "Please! Help me guys!!! Sister!!! Gale!!!" "Nooo Akito!!! Don't leave your lovely wife all alone!!!!" No matter how much the humans prayed, begged and pleaded, the glowing humans and some certain machines had disappeared much to their audience's display, throwing them into chaos. "Dammit!!! Where are you!?" "Hey! It's not just him, the God/Burning Gundam is gone too!" "No... D-boy!!! Come back!!!" Back in Canterlot, everyone managed to regain conciousness to see an intact and unharmed yellow orb surrounded by scattered CD cases. "Did... Did the spell work?" Celestia asked as she regained her senses "Well..." Fluttershy started "The orb is still here!" Celestia gasped "did my spell fail?" "No, it succeeded. You always do." Discord complimented "But..." Pinkie Pie continued "you were talking and casting the spell... On the wrong thing." "Wait... What did I hit!?" "You seemed to hit the collection of cases that Luna carried with the orb." Spike assessed "before I passed out, I'm sure I heard Princess Luna say something about her anime." "What's an anime?" Applejack asked "It's a Neighponise-style cartoon or movie known for all ages." Twilight explained "I checked my new library on foreign countries and their cultures." "So these things in those cases. They are called anime?" Rarity asked "Yes..." Luna answered "Oh no..." Celestia gasped "I've used up a lot of my power in order to bring that entity back to this world, and now I've brought the characters from a bunch of animes by mistake! Is all hope lost now?" "Don't jump to conclusions yet milady..." Flash held the silence and everyone looked at him as he picks up one of the cases and looked at him. "Princess Luna." "Yes Lieutenant Flash?" "I remember Celestia clearly stated that the unknown enemy are known as humans that ride in mechanical monsters known as robots." "That is correct." "Hmm... Pray tell me, what are these animes all about?" Flash asked "Wait..." "From what I can read from that special container on the floor, it says 'Super Robot Wars J'. 'Contains all the series that took part in the famous Banpresto crossover game ever!' I was wondering if you knew... So these types of animes are about..." Flash started "... Creatures called humans that save the world with mechanical monsters known as robots." Luna finished with a glimpse of relief in her voice "And this spell also takes the strength of those taken into Equestria." Flash added "So... That means..." Cadence gasped with a sudden realisation "There should still be hope for Equestria." Flash concluded "as long as we find those humans who appeared in our world, I guess we're fighting fire with fire." "Right. Thank you Lieutenant Flash, for not giving up." Celestia thanked "our top priority now is to find these humans and their machines and convince them to help us. We need their help in order to fight against Tirek." "Hmm..." Flash looked at the case he was currently holding " 'Full Metal Panic!' Interesting name for a robot-fighting anime." "The main character is a mercenary or 'military maniac' named Sosuke Sagara." Luna explained "he was given a task to protect a special girl against the clutches of other enemy mercenaries especially a crazy one named Gauron." "Oh! Oh! I want to choose one as well!" Pinkie volunteered as she dived down and grabbed a case. "This one says 'Martian Successor Nadesico'!" "A male human named Akito Tenkawa and his friends in the Nadesico fight against an alien race known as the Jovian Lizards. By the way, Akito and the Nadesico crew are all civilian fighters, not actual soldiers." "Hmm... Kinda like the five of us from what we've been through." Applejack chuckled with the resemblance "You have certainly a wide knowledge about this 'anime' Princess." Twilight complemented as she picked one case up " 'Brain Powerd' " "There is this alien ship called Orphan and that it's plates can revive special creature robots known as antibodies, some are Grand Chers and some are special antibodies known as Brain Powered. A male human named Yuu Isami and his friends from their ship, Novis Noah, plan to prevent that ship from rising as it may wipe out all life." "Hey darling!" Cadence called to Shining "Look what I've got!" " 'Mobile Fighter G Gundam'." Shining read "Big fighting tournament of robots between countries. From what We've heard, your fight against Queen Chrysalis during your wedding day shows similarity of the values and ideas in that show." "What is that value?" Cadence asked "Love!" Luna chuckled " 'Mobile Suit Gundam SEED' ?" Applejack read "There has been an ongoing war between Naturals and Coordinators. This anime focuses on the character of Kira Yamato, he fights in a Gundam in order to protect his friends." " 'Mazinger' " Rarity read then described "that robot design looks weird with those mouth and eyes and all, but it does look very symmetrical!" "Main character goes by the name of Koji Kabuto. He and is friends fight to prevent a crazed scientist from taking over the world through his horrid creations known as mechabeasts." "This one says 'Blue Comet SPT Layzner'." Fluttershy read "And my one says 'Space Knight Tekkaman Blade'!" Rainbow added " 'Blue Comet SPT Layzner' is about a half-Gradosian half-human named Albatro Null Eiji Asuka who wants to protect the Earth from the invasion of his own, the Gradosians. And 'Space Knight Tekkaman Blade' is also about a human known as D-Foal who can transform into a robotic being called a Tekkaman. He and his friends are known to protect the Earth against aliens called Radam." "And the thing in common?" Spike asked "All of them use robots to complete their goals." Discord answered "So it's definitely settled." Celestia agreed "we need to find these humans and their robots. Let's just hope we can find them before the 5 day mark." "Now, where shall we start looking?" Twilight planned until a guard rushed in. "Princesses." The guard reported "we have some sightings of new faces around Ponyville and Canterlot." "New faces?" Luna asked "but what makes them so special that it requires our attention?" Luna asked "Because they are in great disarray and confusion of what's around them." The guard explained "they've been asking numerous questions. We're trying to help them in anyway possible. We gave them what's going around in Equestria and also have taken their names down. Sounds like they are from Neighpon." "Their names?" Luna asked "Four in Canterlot and four in Ponyville. The four in Ponyville are as follows in any order: Koji Kabuto, Domon Kasshu, Takaya Aiba though he prefers to be called D-Foal, and Yuu Isami." The group went silent after hearing those four names for a second time. The guard continued "The four in Canterlot are: Eiji Asuka, Sosuke Sagara, Akito Tenkawa and Kira Yamato." Silence came from the group once again, the realisation that their search of their targets has been made easy or has been already completed eased their minds. "I guess that answers your question Princess." Flash started "what questions did they ask?" "Well Lieutenant, they all asked the same normal questions like 'where am I?' and 'what is this place?' But some questions were... Pretty abnormal. And they all asked the same thing too." "How?" Shining asked "These were the most trifling questions they have spoke: 'why is this place swarmed with ponies? And how can they talk to me?', 'Why is my speaking altered? I'm saying words that I wasn't meant to say! I mean, why am I saying anypony?', They also seem to have lost a rather peculiar belonging to them 'where's my brain, robot or gundam?' But that's not all. One question seems really out of the ordinary." "Well, it seems we have a minor problem here" Twilight analysed "I think it wouldn't be that hard to find their robots. But what was the last question?" "It beats me Princess Twilight." The guard replied and as he cleared his throat and took a deep breath, " 'why am I a pony?' " After that last question, the room was struck with fear and silence. "Uh-oh..." Applejack started "Sister... What did you do?" Luna asked "I-I just summoned them! I-I didn't want to turn them into ponies!" Celestia defended "Looks like we have a major problem now." Flash concluded. Author's Note This is something new. I just can't remove the fact that some dubbed anime's have exactly the same voice actors (Tabitha St. Germain (Rarity) voices Flay Allster, Matt Hill (Soarin) voice Kira Yamato, etc.) Now playing Super Robot Taisen J (English version), I have grown to like all these creative names and robots once more. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: A whole new world //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: A whole new world In Ponyville, a black-maned and navy blue coated earth pony was frantically looking around for answers. "W-Where's the Photon Power labs? Sayaka? Boss? Tetsuya? Shiro? Anypony? And why am I still saying anypony?" Koji wondered "Excuse me Mr Kabuto." A guard approached him "O-Oh, you were that nice pony guard who helped me from before. I-I've got a few more questions to ask if you're able." "Actually" the guard corrected "I've got some orders in order to escort you to the Princess. Apparently you're a special case, somepony being brought from another world." "Really? So somepony knows me in this world? Thanks!!! I thought I was the lonely one." "I've also got information that you're not the only special case here. Other ponies are in the same mysterious boat as you are." "Really? We'll I'd better get ready to know them! I'm going to need to rely heavily on them, and they will rely heavily on me!" Koji chuckled "Hmm..." The guard wondered "let me see... Do you know Yuu Isami?" "Wait... That guy who pilots those brain powered!" "I had no idea what that was but you certainly know him." The guard concluded "how about Takaya Aiba?" "Some reason, that name rings a bell..." Koji wondered "He also has a nickname as 'D-Foal'." " 'D-Foal'? If you're trying to say 'D-Foal', then I would know him!" "So you do know the name D-Foal?" The guard asked confused "I didn't say D-Foal, I said D-Foal!" "What!?" "Hang on a sec..." Koji held as he tried to remember the terms about animals and that foal means an equine boy. "Yes. I do know him." "Okay then..." The guard continued "then... You would know Domon Kasshu?" " 'he who inherits the power of the undefeated of the east?' Yep... I know those three ponies." "Well what a coincidence... I shall find them." "Do you want me to help?" "Why, thank you for your offer! Especially for somepony who is new to this world." In Canterlot, a Red coat and a spiky brown mane earth pony was frantically running around finding something or somepony that's familiar until a pink pony jumped right in front of them. "Hello!!!" Pinkie greeted "Aahh!!!" Akito fell back surprised "w-who are you? Please don't scare me like that!" "Sorry about that!" Pinkie apologised as she picked the pony up "I'm Pinkie Pie, and you're?" "Um... I'm Akito Tenkawa. Nice to meet you." Akito greeted "Nice to meet you too!!!" Pinkie replied "hey... That name sounds familiar... Oh I know, you're one of the humans that were brought from another world and turned into ponies!" "Wha? How do you know!?" Akito jumped up, realising somepony knew about his condition and problem. "Well, the Princess of the Sun summoned you and a few other humans to help defend Equestria." Pinkie explained "Hmm... I remember before that there was this image in the air talking about her world in turmoil and that she needed help. I also remember that I was dragged here without being given a choice!" "Sorry! If a princess requires help, they're powerful enough to call or summon that help straight away." "But... This city looks peaceful... I don't see any war going around." "A five-day headcount for the Princess to gather up every type of defence possible. Wouldn't your princess do the same thing in your world?" "N-No... In my world, we don't have a monarchy" Akito explained "the world is run by a group of politicians known as the government, the majority of them do a crap job too..." "Really? Normally with a position this big, ponies would never ever abuse this job for their own means! Especially one of my friends!" "You're friends with a princess?" "Yep! There are 4 princesses in Equestria! The Princess of the Sun Celestia, the Princess of the Moon Luna, the Princess of Love Cadence and my friend Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship!" "Wow..." "All four of them are individually very powerful in politics and magic and they rule over the lands with peace and harmony." "Wow... The way you ponies run this land sounds better than what I have... I'm so envious, I'd like to learn more..." Akito gracefully got interested in the history. Even though this Pink Pony is annoying and irritating, she does sound fun to hang around with, Akito thought. A friend that could even help him to know the purpose of his presence? "Excuse me..." Shining called to a silver coat earth pony with a black mane. "Is there a problem?" The pony replied "Wait..." Akito pointed out to Shining and the other pony "it looks like that guy is in trouble! So much for a peaceful land." "That's the captain of Equestria's royal guard Shining Armor." Pinkie answered "as for the other pony, I have no idea. But there are rarely any cases of civil fights. Wonder what's going on?" "Are you Sosuke Sagara?" Shining asked spurring the other pony into a defensive stance. "How do you know about my identity?" Sosuke snapped "Wait... Sosuke Sagara!?" Akito realised "You know that pony?" Pinkie asked "Yeah... During the time when there was a large-scale war in my world, he and I fought together to protect the Earth. How come he's here, and how is he also a pony?" "Like I said before, you're not the only one who was brought here and turned into a pony." Pinkie reminded and listened with Akito to the confrontation between the Captain and the Military Maniac. "I am Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard in Equestria." Shining introduced "I know about you, and why you are here... And why you're a pony. If you can come with me--" Shining was interrupted with a hoof to the face which brought him on the floor. The next thing he knew was that the pony named Sosuke was galloping away. Other guards were trying to stop him but he fought through them while it was nothing. As Sosuke was finding some means to escape, an abnormal gust of wind flew above him and he saw and Orange pony land in front of him a few meters ahead. "Freeze!" Flash ordered. Without any hesitation, Sosuke threw a kick on the guard. What he didn't realise that unlike the other guards, this pegasus seemed to block his kick with one hoof. "Predictable." Flash replied and with his other hoof together, grabbed Sosuke's leg and threw him down judo-style. Sosuke immediately recovered from the floor and returned a punch to Flash's gut and prepared to bolt once more. Flash immediately recovered from the punch and tackled Sosuke to the floor. Sosuke pushed Flash abruptly off him and tried to gallop one more time, Flash saw this coming and with a forward flip, whacked Sosuke with both his hind legs to prevent him from running. Realising that this pony would not let him run, Sosuke decided to take him down. The two ponies were matched, punch for punch, kick for kick, hoof for hoof and buck for buck. As Shining watched the flawless combat between the two, Pinkie and Akito ran up to Shining. "Heya Capt!!!" Pinkie greeted "Oh hi Pinkie..." Shining replied still focused on the battle "who's your friend?" "Akito Tenkawa." Akito greeted "I'm one of the humans that was brought into your world." "Well so is that stallion fighting Flash. Although he seems to take his situation with hostility." Shining had pointed at the silver pony "this stallion has so much fighting spirit and he fights well! I've only seen one pony with that type of combat spirit and skill and that's Flash Sentry." "Do you think we should stop them?" Pinkie asked until a certain noise got the three ponies attention. A brutalised Sosuke had a brutalised Flash in a lock "Shining Armor." Sosuke started breathing heavily to recover his pain "if you want to have your soldier alive, you will answer my questions." "Please don't harm him." Shining calmed "I will comply." "Why is he so calm when one of his soldiers is nearly going to be killed?" Akito whispered "No Idea." Pinkie replied "something is going on." Sosuke also knew that the demeanour of Shining was rather suspicious but he disregarded it and loosened the grip on Flash "where am I and why am I here? Why am I a pony? Where is Chidori? And even though I am a pony, why can I still flawlessly fight as pony when I was a human? And--" Before he asked further questions, something caught on his leg tripping him on the floor and then held in a lock by Flash. "You should have never loosened your grip on me." Flash pointed out Sosuke's mistake "especially on somepony that has superior combat skills equal to yours." "I know this soldier very well Mr Sagara." Shining added "he's my lieutenant. I just wanted you to follow me without any hostility. You would get your answers then." "Listen here Sosuke." Flash started "I understand why you would try to fight back and run away. Due to being in a different area that is unknown to your memory, you would feel desperation to find out about your position and location alone. Your mind thinks that everypony around you is suspicious and can be a hostile enemy plotting a trap against you." "What?" Sosuke started "Don't interrupt. My captain is also known to be rather in an interrogating mood when dealing with someone new. I apologise that he could not come on much nicer terms, but he means no harm at all. Trust me." "How do you know about all this?" Sosuke asked "Your eyes." Flash answered "you have the eyes of a military expert and a brilliant combatant: A 'specialist'. I can guess you've had a lot of experience and knowledge in the field for someone so young. Just like me." After that comment, Sosuke peered into the eyes on Flash Sentry and concluded "Yes... You speak true. I can also see the same in your eyes." "In that case... Will you promise not to run or fight back? A soldier's agreement?" Flash asked "... I promise." Sosuke replied and as Flash let go of him and picked him up, Sosuke did indeed showed no more hostility amazing the three spectators. "Even if I am a mercenary, I would not dare defy a soldier with such skill as mine." "Pleasure to meet you. My name is Flash Sentry. Second-hand man of the Captain and Lieutenant of the Royal Guard of Equestria." Flash greeted holding up a bruised hoof. "Sosuke Sagara, but I'm pretty sure you know that already. Codename Urzu 7 at Mithril. Pleasure is mine." Sosuke replied shaking his bruised hoof with him. "Sosuke!" Akito called as the three ponies galloped up to the two. "I remember you." Sosuke assessed "you are Akito Tenkawa. One of the Aestivalis pilots and the husband of the Nadesico's captain." "So glad you can remember me." Akito replied. "This is certainly a puzzling situation." Sosuke stated "I thought I would be the only one brought into this world as a pony. Now it turns out somepony else has been brought here. Somepony that I know." "It may be coincidence..." Shining asked "but a group of um... Humans have been brought here and since you know each other, do you know the names of these ponies? Umm... Eiji Asuka and Kira Yamato?" "No way! Them too!?" Akito cried "I'm starting to think this isn't coincidence that the humans brought here are ponies we know." "Including you two, you are the four ponies spotted in Canterlot." Shining replied "another four ponies are located in another town called Ponyville... They are called--" "This is just a guess" Sosuke interrupted "but is it Domon Kasshu, Koji Kabuto, Yuu Isami and D-Foal?" "Should I be asking questions instead?" Shining replied "Those are the first four names that popped into my mind. There are many others who I've fought with." "That's right." Akito added "both of us have many companions that work together as one big group." "If there was some way of communicating with them..." Sosuke wondered loudly "We'll see what the Princess can do." Flash assured As soon as everypony had found the eight ponies, the group rounded up back in the castle, meeting and introductions began. "Welcome, humans from another world. I am Princess Celestia, the Princess of the Sun, my sister Luna, the Princess of the Moon, my niece Cadence, the Princess of Love and my former protege Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Magic. It is an honour to meet your acquaintance." Celestia greeted "Wow... They're beautiful!" Koji whistled "Sayaka would kill you if she heard that." Akito replied "A Princess?" Kira asked "That is right, Kira Yamato." "I never knew monarchy would still exist." Kira replied "I see... I guess your world is run very differently?" "A lot." Eiji replied "As much as we'd like to talk about our lives and worlds." Domon butted in "we need to discuss important matters." "Yes. I almost forgot about that." Celestia replied "Can you explain why we are here?" "Yes. All of you... Have been brought here by accident. You have my apologies." Celestia apologised leading to horrified and shocked faces "She was supposed to summon a powerful entity that once ravaged this land." Luna explained "As much as I hate to realise that we were here by accident..." Yuu started "maybe summoning an entity with that description could yield serious consequences." "Either way, even if you summoned us by accident, why are we ponies?" Sosuke asked "I'm afraid I'd like to ask the same question. Why are you ponies? All I just did is conjure a simple summoning spell." "Maybe because the main population of this world are ponies and mythological creatures and that there is not a single human to be found?" Yuu guessed "Perhaps..." D-Foal replied "You know, I find it pretty awkward now that you're called D-Foal." Domon joked. "Anyway, is there a reason for this summoning?" Akito continued "Yes... Here is the low down." Twilight started... After a few explanations of such and such, the 8 humans-turned-ponies wondered "great. So this Tirek guy is using robots from another world to rule Equestria?" Koji concludes "figures. Another world conqueror. Nothing new there." "Fighting other robots is indeed an area that we have been familiar with." Sosuke nodded "But... I'm sure you know that in order to fight these robots" Kira explained "we use robots too." "And even if we can find our robots or suits" Akito added "how are we supposed to pilot it if we're ponies?" "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Cadence assured "When I said you didn't have a choice back then" Celestia corrected "I was too desperate in order to get some help. I apologise for my desperation and now you can have the choice. I can bring you back to your world if you want. You'd also turn back into humans when you return. Either way, please make your choice." The 8 ponies wondered and started to talk with each other "I don't really like fighting... But if we leave, I dread that the destruction of all ponykind is going to haunt my memories forever." "You know what? I don't think it would be that hard..." "Honestly... A world full of cuddly ponies is some dream that Yurika would dream up. But if robots are added to the picture, it's too realistic to be a dream." "Have you made a decision?" Celestia asked. With a nod, the 8 ponies turned around to face the Princess "Do you know that entity you've tried to summon before?" Domon rhetorically asked "compared to us, that is a death wish if you ask me. We may have been an accident, but we're the better choice." "So... Does that mean?" Twilight asked "Yes." Kira nodded "I don't like fighting. But when I have to, I fight for peace and the prevention of a war." "We will however, comply on two conditions." Sosuke negotiated "Anything." Luna replied "First off, we told you that we pilot robots in order to fight robots. If you have any sort of the kind, we'll need them." Koji explained "We'll see what we can do." Cadence assured "and the second?" "I'm afraid 8 of us is just not enough in order to suppress and defeat this Tirek enemy and his army." D-Foal added "If you can, please find some way in order to bring our friends and allies over." "In the meantime" Eiji noted "we'll do the best we can." "Brave humans from another world." Celestia spoke "it does my heart good to see that you have decided to fight with me. Words cannot describe how thankful I am." "No problem!" Akito assured "however, our relationship may get rocky, but here's to hoping that we will never break out against each other!" "You know... I've got this feeling." Yuu started "that this may all be a trap?" Sosuke asked "No... I trust the Princess... It's just that these robots that Tirek summoned... I feel like that it's those same enemies we've fought before..." "You mean the Jovian Lizards, Mechabeasts, Reclaimers, Radam beasts, Gradosians, Devil Corps, ZAFT, Earth Alliance and mercenaries?" Sosuke asked. The others shivered at the names of the enemies the 8 ponies were talking about. "I'm not so sure, it may be a different type of enemy altogether." Kira replied "Just as long as it isn't the Fury." Eiji shuddered "Either way, any robot will be unable stand up to us." Domon boasted "If only we had OUR robots which we DON'T have right now." Akito reminded "We have an acceptable amount of time to find them." D-Foal added "I need to find Pegas." "Umm... Excuse me." Rarity piped "we can help you find your robots." Kira's head shot up to look at Rarity as her voice has hit a line of his memory. "You..." Kira started "I'm sorry... Did I say something wrong?" Rarity stepped back frightened "Oh... Sorry about my response. May I know your name?" Kira apologised "It's Rarity." "Well then Rarity. You said nothing wrong. It's just something about you..." He unhappily looked down. "M-May I know what it is? I'll try and fix it." Rarity asked "It's your voice..." Kira answered "there's nothing wrong with it, but it reminds me of a close friend of mine... Your voice is very similar to that friend I lost to the wrath of war and slaughter." "Oh dear... My condolences Kira." Rarity comforted "may I know this mare's name?" "Flay Allster." Kira replied "she cared for me a lot. Despite me being a coordinator. She hates all kinds of coordinators, showed hostility to Lacus and by the time she realised her actions against coordinators, just when she was going to apologise. She was shot." Kira tried not to cry "Kira..." Rarity put a shoulder on the upset coordinator. As the 8 ponies were conversing with the other ponies, sharing their identities, cultures and all the fun information everyone loved to give, a guard immediately rushed in with a horrified look on his face. "P-Princess!" The guard yelped "Is there a problem?" Celestia asked "T-There's a massive thick red mist that's heading towards Ponyville!" "What!?" Celestia jumped "everypony, I'm afraid conversations will have to cease right now. We must make haste to Ponyville!" Author's Note Just so everyone knows, all the ponies have dexterous hooves. Fun Fact: Kira remembers his deceased friend Flay Allster when he met Rarity. Why? Because both Rarity and Flay Allster are voiced by the same English actress Tabitha St. Germain. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: First Skirmish in Equestria //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: First Skirmish in Equestria The Princesses, Discord, the Mane 6 and Spike, Shining, Flash and the 8 ponies arrived in Ponyville to confront the situation. There was indeed a thick red mist that was looming near the forest entry of Ponyville. It's bloody colour has fully engulfed the Everfree Forest, Froggy Bottom Bog and all other areas after that. "This..." Shining tried to describe "I know sir." Flash comforted "it's hard to describe a climate change as atrocious as this." "This isn't caused naturally." Luna corrected "somepony is creating it." "Well done Princess Luna!!!" A voice replied and from the mist emerged Tirek on a mist platform. "It's good to see you again Princesses." "Tirek!!!" Celestia roared "how dare you show your face!!!" "So this is the Tirek guy who's been summoning those monsters? He's half as scary as Doctor Hell, but he's twice as ugly as Baron Ashura!" Koji joked "Baron Ashura is the furthest thing you can call ugly." Akito replied "for an evil demon centaur, he's not ugly. He looks like a nice cow." "Why thank you little ponies." Tirek sarcastically replied "What do you want Tirek?" Celestia asked "Five days haven't even passed yet." "Well I don't even think you deserve those five days!" Tirek replied "here is a test to see if you can handle my new forces!" "First off." Twilight replied "what is this red mist you've brought upon?" "Oh its nothing." Tirek answered "just something to prevent you from getting to me. Only me and my forces can traverse this mist." "And I'm guessing we would die if we go in there?" Kira asked "Why ask a question when you already know the answer?" "I don't know if you'll answer, but can we dispel this bloody mist?" Rarity asked "Why yes you can!!!" Tirek gasped in delight and held out a bit. Only that it was a bit bigger. "A bit?" Applejack replied "are you pullin' our legs here?" "I'm being honest Applejack." Tirek replied "this bit is special. It's bigger and has a different design on it." And showed the bit. "I've never made a bit with that size and design." Celestia replied "I can explain the mysteries behind this bit" Tirek offered "but lets not stray too much from our topic here. I'm going to send a few of my otherworld robots at you. Come on out!" He commanded "In the mist!" Flash warned "a shadow!" "Something's coming out of there!" Sosuke warned. And as the shadow left the fog, it revealed itself to be a rather ball-sized snail that's just as big as the ponies. While looking unfamiliar to the natives of Equestria, it immediately hit the memory banks of the other 8 ponies. "No way! A Batta!?" Akito cried "Akito, thou know that abomination yonder there?" Luna asked "It's a standard AI droid of the Jovian Lizards." Eiji answered "we've fought a lot of them back in our world." As he finished more Battas emerged from the mist followed by a humanoid looking mech that had a round cockpit floating in the air. "And that's a Braver." Kira continued "a Super Powered Tracer or SPT for short. Piloted by the Gradosian army." "I knew it..." Yuu wondered "these otherworldly robots are in fact robots we have fought before. Please don't tell me that our past is repeating. Though it would be easier..." "This bit not only has the power to defog the mist" Tirek continued "but it can also power up any robot! Here's an example!" And he inserted the bit into the Braver. The human pilot in the braver started to go berserk as the braver started to glow a brilliant white and left a surrounding white aura behind after the light faded. "Argh..." Cadence shivered "Honey?" Shining asked concerned "The power from that humanoid mech. I think Kira called it a Braver. It's magical energy is impossibly high!" "Good luck Celestia!" Tirek waved "no matter how hard you'll try, I'm sure you'll end up defeated!" And walked back into the mist. "Damn!" Celestia cursed "Now's not the time to trade emotions milady." Flash reminded "we need to focus on those advancing Lizards and SPT." "Okay then..." Celestia breathed "Captain, can you, Spike, Cadence and Flash go round up every pony in Ponyville and seek refuge in Twilght's castle." "Yes madam. Come on." Shining obeyed as he, Cadence and Flash rushed to the castle "Do I have to?" Spike complained "I want to fight!" "No Spike." Twilight replied "you're still a baby and you're better to ensure the presence and safety of all the citizens of Ponyville." "Okay then Twi. Stay safe all of you!" Spike replied "And you stallions." Celestia turned her attention to the 8. "Can you still fight?" "That is negative Princess." Sosuke shook his head "we can however, help with the evacuation of the townsfolk." "Very well." Celestia nodded and the 8 ponies ,along with Spike riding on Koji, joined the two soldiers and Princess. "Right, now lets see what we can do with that Batta!" Applejack encouraged. At that moment, a Batta decided to charge towards the herd. As some of the ponies cowered in fear, Applejack stood firm and turned around. "Wait for it..." Applejack watched as she got her hind legs ready. At the proper distance, Applejack quickly straightened her legs resulting in a bucking kick which launched the Batta towards another Batta and both exploded on impact. "That was amazing!" Fluttershy complimented and the ponies were full with cheers. "Who's next?" Applejack taunted. Although the Battas are controlled by AI's, they knew how to minimize casualties. Instead of charging, 3 Battas opened their missile pods. "Hey look!" Rainbow pointed, "those robot lizards are opening up!" "Maybe it's a surprise gift!" Pinkie replied. The Battas did indeed launch a surprise gift, but it was a nasty surprise. The group watched as 15 missiles were cruising towards them. "Oh cool! What are those things?" Pinkie asked "We think they're heading right towards us!" Luna replied and Akito managed to rushed up towards the pony group. "Those are missiles!" Akito warned "they explode on impact! Dodge, cut them or shoot them down. Don't go head on!" In an instant reply, Luna, Celestia and Twilight immediately fired magic bolts and managed to destroy 9 of them. Rarity couldn't fire any magic bolts, but she decided to do what she has always done and controlled the missiles with her magic. The other ponies watched amazed as Rarity excitingly played with them. "How fun!!!" Rarity exclaimed then looked at the Battas. "But I think playtime's over. Thank you for letting me playing with your toys dear Battas. You can have them back!" And with that, sent the 6 missiles on the 3 Battas. Receiving 2 missiles each, the missle explosion could not be suppressed by the Batta's armor and they exploded along with it. "That was amazing Rarity!" Akito gasped "you can control missiles with your magic!?" "Well, the only thing I can do with my magic is levitate objects and find gems. I thought I'd try my luck on those dangerous missiles!" "It makes me wonder if you require our help..." Akito chuckled "I thought you were going to help with evacuation." Pinkie pointed "They're all contained in the safety of the castle." Akito replied "I mean, the 8 of us, Flash, Shining and Princess Cadence made this task easy. Sosuke and Flash did most of the heavy lifting though." "Well that's Flash!" Twilight chuckled "And that's Sosuke!" Akito replied "The evacuation mission is complete." Sosuke, Shining and Flash arrived back with the group. "The other 6 and Princess Cadence are keeping them company. I must say, ponies definitely pick up the pace more than humans. This beats the evacuation drill record back in my world." "Now we've got to deal with these Battas." Flash added "and that crazy glowing Braver too." "If I had my special arm slave, I'd finish them off in a flash." Sosuke sighed "Do you want me to teach you how to fight with a lance?" Flash offered "We should stay with our own weapons of expertise. You fight with swords, lances, axes and bows. I deal with firearms and knives." "I doubt the lance I have right now would even dent these robots. I'm not as strong as Lady Applejack." Flash replied "If only we had the lances that can pierce the armor of robots" Sosuke comforted "I'd be sure to get you one." "Analysing their situation." Shining noted "that's what makes a good soldier." "From their actions." Akito added "they really are alike. Not by appearance, but in skill, ability and experience." Back in Twilight's castle, Princess Cadence and Yuu were busy trying to calm and comfort everypony. "Is that all of them Spike?" D-Foal asked "Yep! Everypony in Ponyville is present!" Spike replied "how's things over on guard duty?" Spike called to Kira and Domon. "We're only relying on our own martial skills and abilities." Kira replied "I doubt they'd work against robots." "We need to find some weapons fast." Domon alerted "Is there any sort of armory in this castle?" Koji asked "We do" Spike nodded "but they'd do jack squat against the enemy." "Either way, let's try and find some weapons as best we can." Eiji replied "Settled then. Domon, Koji, Kira. Can you stay in your positions?" D-Foal asked "We can do that." Kira replied "Eiji and Yuu. We need to scout the castle." D-Foal continued "I'll be your guide around the castle!" Spike volunteered. "Kira. Can I swap roles with you?" Yuu asked "But... You haven't got any martial skill." Kira replied "That's true. But Princess Celestia told us that there are three different types of ponies excluding the Princesses. There are Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth Ponies. As you can see Kira, we are both unicorns and Unicorns excel in magic. I know you're relying on martial skill, so let me try my magic out. I have a feeling it can do some damage against the Battas." "Okay then. I trust you." Kira agreed and as Yuu took Kira's post, Kira galloped after Eiji and D-Foal. "Huh. This world is full of surprises." Domon chuckled "I know." Yuu agreed "These type of ponies aren't the ponies we see in our world. Here, ponies are coloured, little, use magic, can fly, are stronger and they certainly have these weird pictures on their flanks. Just like we have right now." "Wait... What?" Domon started but stopped to take a look at his flank. There resting on his grey coloured bum on both sides was a picture of complicated designs. A picture of a king that appears on cards, with two crossed swords and a heart with a special symmetrical design and the number 13 behind it and a K on the top of the heart. Below the king picture says the words on a flag. 'King of Hearts 4711'. "W-Why! That is my Shuffle Alliance Crest! The King of Hearts! Why is it on my flank and not on my hooves!?" "It's because." Cadence answered "the picture on your flanks is known as a cutie mark. Your cutie mark represents your talent. So what is your talent Domon?" "Oh I see..." Domon understood "the 'King of Hearts' crest is special type of crest to not only show that you are a member of the Shuffle Alliance, but can also appear on my hand... Or hoof now, when special attacks are performed or when in an emotional state. My talent is martial arts. I've been training under my teacher Master Asia for 10 years and I inherited the crest from him, before he became evil. I have four other friends who are part of the Shuffle Alliance and they bear different crests." As Cadence, Yuu and Domon were talking about Cutie marks and talents, Spike was guiding the other 3 ponies around the castle. "I'm good with swordplay." Kira noted "but the swords here are going to do nothing." "Do you think there is some other weapons around?" Eiji asked "Well... I'm not sure..." Spike tried to think, he was running out of ideas. The group stopped by the mysterious door that couldn't be opened before and started to think. "Dammit... Are we at a loss here?" Kira replied "No!" Spike rebuked "I'm positive that we can fight them." "But how... HOW?" Eiji replied "we don't have our robots. I don't have the Layzner. Kira dosen't have his Freedom and D-Foal dosen't have his Tek Setter because Pegas isn't here." "Dammit Pegas..." D-Foal wondered "where are you?" "Hey!!! Eiji!!!" A girl's voice cried "Huh? Did you say my name Spike?" Eiji asked "No I didn't say anything." Spike replied "D-FOAL. D-FOAL. CAN YOU HEAR ME?" A robotic voice called D-Foal. "What? That can't be... That voice sounds like Pegas." D-Foal jumped "Eiji!!! I'm over here!" The girl called again. "No way... There's no mistaking it! It sounds like Rei! Only that it's not robotic at all." Eiji realised "Birdy!" A bird chirped "Birdy!" Kira exclaimed "he doesn't sound like a robot bird anymore though." "Birdy!" Came Birdy's reply. "I can hear them too!" Spike noted "It's... No way! It's coming from the double-arched door that can't be opened before!" Spike ran up to the door. "How did they get in there?" He tried pulling at the door, but it wouldn't budge. "See? I still can't open it!" "Oh it's just a door Spike." D-Foal sighed "why don't I try?" And with his hooves on one door, he pulled as hard as he can without budging. "Wow... This is a tough door. Eiji, can you help me open the other side?" "Okay then." Eiji nodded and grasped around the other side. "On 3." D-Foal instructed. "1... 2... 3!" And with that, both ponies grunted hard, pulled with their might and the door opened on their grasp without any effort releasing a bright wave of light that swept over the 3 ponies and dragon who reeled from not only the brightness of the light, but the pain happening in their heads. "Argh... This pain... It's so familiar... My head... Its coursing with memories of how the Tekkaman works!" D-Foal cried "Ahh!!! I-I see, Athrun, Sai, Miriallia, Murrue, Mu, everyone with me in the Archangel. I see the Freedom Gundam... And someone's piloting it... Flay!?" Kira cried as Flay opened the cockpit and reached out for Kira's hand on which he took. "Ugh... I'm in space... I see Grados... Gale and Julia... Now I see Earth... David, Arthur, Roanne, Anne, Simmone and Dr Elizabeth... I see a blue comet soaring through space... It's coming towards me... Wait... It's not a comet, how silly of me... It's Layzner." Eiji muttered in his trance. As it occurs that the three ponies were receiving from the light their memories of the robots they have used to protect the ones they love so dearly. Spike however, went through a process that was excruciatingly painful for his mind than the other three as the light was giving him something new, the knowledge of the world of robots. "Yiiiii!!!" Spike screamed "there is so much going into my head!!! I'm seeing pictures of humans when I was in that alternate universe as a dog! I-I see, human versions. Of Kira, D-Foal, Eiji, the 8 ponies that came to our world... WOAH!!! And they're piloting robots that have different sizes. That's so amazing!" Spike wondered. As the light died down, the 3 ponies and dragon stood still for a little while daydreaming before they woke up from three different creatures heading towards them. A green and yellow bird, a blue baby dragon and a robot like pegasus that was bigger than the average pony. "Birdy!" Birdy chirped as he flew around Kira. "Birdy!" Kira laughed as he saw his once robotic pet, become a real life bird. "you've become a real bird! Wish Athrun would have seen you. He'll flip!" "Birdy!" Came the reply. "Eiji!" Rei greeted "Rei. Wh-Why are you a baby dragon like Spike?" Eiji asked "I don't know either!" Rei replied "I was just a computer for the Layzner and then for some reason, me and the Layzner started going transparent and was dissolving. Next thing I knew, I was in that room over there with Birdy and Pegas along with scattered parts and weapons of the Layzner, Mazinkaiser, Arbalest..." "Hold it there Rei!" Eiji interrupted "did you just say weapons and parts for the Layzner?" "Yeah!!!" Rei replied and beckoned everyone into the room. Sure enough, the room was a large storehouse which had the colour like every other room in the castle. It was only that this place was swamped with tons of Robot parts, modules, and weapons. Everything was there indeed but the most extraordinary thing was, that all these robot parts miniaturised and designed... For ponies! "There's just a problem." Rei explained and hauled a blue helmet with a green visor, blue coloured sets of pony armour along with it's weapons. "N-No way..." Eiji started "Yes." Rei nodded "this is the Layzner. It's kind of turned into a body suit for ponies, but the weapons still work the same way as they used to when you were a human." Then Rei pointed to another suit where Birdy was perched "and that's the Freedom mobile suit." "No way... Do you think it can work?" Kira asked "Yes it will!" Spike jumped up "Um... I appreciate your bravery, but we don't know if it will work." Eiji noted "No, I'm sure it will work." Spike replied "because something tells me that I've seen it before. All you just have to do is to attach your hooves like this... and put that onto your... You know what? Let me dress you!" And with a flash, gathered all the parts of the Layzner and ran all around Eiji until he was a blur that covered the blue pegasus. After Spike stopped and wipe the sweat of him as a job work done, Eiji was fully suited up in his blue armour and green visor helmet ready for battle. "That was fast!" Eiji exclaimed as he examined himself "did you do this before?" "No, but for some reason, it's rather easy for me. It's like I've done it before" Spike shrugged "That was amazing!" D-Foal replied "As for you D-Foal, I think you know how to use your Tek Setter." Spike replied "How do you know all of our robots all of a sudden!?" Kira asked shocked. "Dunno. Must be that light. I'll help you suit up Kira, then you need to get Domon, Yuu and Koji here so I can suit them up with the God/Burning gundam and Mazinkaiser respectively!" "Why do you need Yuu then?" D-Foal asked "It's complicated, but he'll find out once he enters this room." "Okay then. Eiji, let's fly!" "Alright D-Foal." Eiji replied "I've made a saddle on the Layzner armour for you to sit on Rei." Spike pointed "I've also made some safety measures on it so that you won't fall off. Make sure to help Eiji at all times." "Thanks Spike!" Rei replied and hopped on the saddle of the Layzner armour. "Let's hope this works... TEK SETTER!!!" D-Foal yelled and with a flash of light, transformed into the fearsome warrior... "Tekkamare Blade!!!" Blade yelled "Tekkamare!?!?" Kira blurted laughing "WHAT!? Why the hay did I say Tekkamare!?" Blade realised "When saying 'man', it's similar to saying 'mare'." Spike explained "the only problem is that 'mare' is the word for a female pony." "But hey, your sister is called Tekkaman Rapier, not Tekkawoman Rapier." Eiji cheered "so you should be fine that you can be called a mare." "Okay. I'm a stallion, but I'll be fine if I accidentally call myself Tekkamare." Blade shrugged and hopped on Pegas. "Let's fly Pegas! You too Eiji!" "ROGER." Pegas replied and the two ponies flew out of the castle at full speed, through the front gates blowing past Cadence, Koji and Domon, messing their manes. "What the heck was that!?" Domon asked alerted if there was any threat. "I think something wooshed past us and out the door." Cadence assessed as she brushed her mane down with a nearby comb. "That would be Eiji and D-Foal." Kira trotted up to them, fully armoured with Spike working on some last minute tweaks. "What are you wearing?" Yuu asked with fear and confusion. "This?" Kira pointed "It's the Freedom Gundam designed as a battle suit for ponies." "Birdy!" Birdy flew in circles and chirped happily. "And that's Birdy!!!" Koji pointed "he looks like a real bird instead of a robotic one." "That's right." Kira nodded "this world sure works mysterious wonders." "Hang on! If you, D-Foal and Eiji can get your mobile weapons and suits..." Domon realised "does that mean we can get ours!?" "Yep!!!" Spike nodded and gestured "follow me!" With Kira being the guard. Princess Cadence and the other three ponies followed Spike to the door. "Wasn't that the door Twilight mentioned that it couldn't be open?" Cadence pointed out. "How did it get opened?" "Simple." Spike answered "the light trapped inside told me that anything from another world is able to open this door to release it." "What light?" Koji asked as they stood in front the door. Suddenly, the white bright light poured out the the room again, engulfing Koji, Yuu, Domon and Cadence in its mist. The three as per usual got their memories of fighting while Cadence received the knowledge of the other world and it's robots. Instead of feeling pain, Cadence was too distracted at what she was seeing. "Wow..." She muttered Back to the fight, the Mane 6 seemed to have no problem with dealing with the Battas against them. The Gradosian soldier in the Braver could not believe he was seeing. He was promised the slaughter of many weak and feeble ponies! And yet they were fighting back without any effort! As he saw that no more Battas were left standing, the soldier yelled into the communication line. "I WANT BACKUP!!!" "Very nice Ponies." Tirek applauded as he stepped out from the mist. "But with every skirmish, the superior always brings backup!" And with a snap of his fingers, 50 Battas poured out from the mist as well as 10 Bravers. "Oh Celestia..." Applejack gasped "O-Oh my..." Fluttershy started in shock "I don't think we can take them all..." Twilight noted "You looked pretty strong ponies!" Tirek taunted "do you really think this test was easy!? I'll leave you to your deaths then. Ciao!!!" And headed back into the mist. One half of the Battas charged straight at the group while the other half fired 5 missiles each. "We can't take 125 Missiles all at once!" Rarity replied as she decided to crash the Batta missiles into each other to defend themselves, no time for a counter. "Ah don't think I can take 25 of them bugs either!" Applejack yelled. I'll try and wind them up!" Rainbow volunteered and started zooming around the 25 charging Batta's and sweeping them up in a rainbow tornado. Letting it rip, Rainbow sent the 25 Battas flying and exploding on to the ground. "Ha ha! Nicely done!" Rainbow boasted "Rainbow watch out!!!" Akito warned but it was too late. As Rainbow turned around, a laser hit her body and sent her to the ground "Pegasi down!" Flash warned "I'll provide medical attention." Sosuke replied as he checked the wounded Rainbow "What was that!?" Pinkie cried "That was a laser shot from those Bravers. Unlike missiles or another ballistic ammunition, unicorns can't control them." Akito warned "Um... Everypony?" Fluttershy squeaked "Yes?" "The missiles are right on top of us!!!" She screamed, only with the help of the unicorns, 50 have been taken down, the remaining 75 were still flying towards them. Not only that, the 10 Bravers also decided to fire some laser beams too. "Everypony brace yourselves!" Shining warned and put up a protective shield, waiting for the impact of the missiles and laser. Sure enough, Shining could feel the lasers hitting his shields but he didn't feel any missile impacts. As he looked up, he saw the 75 missiles destroyed. "What?" Shining wondered what was going on as the ponies also decided to see what was happening. "Those missiles got destroyed..." Luna pointed out. "And look!!!" Pinkie pointed towards the direction of the Battas. The Batta's seemed to break formation and flew towards different directions. But no matter how fast they flew, some lasers caught up with them and destroyed them entirely. Some were impaled with a rather large spike connected to a laser chain. As the spike was pulled out, the Battas exploded. The shielded ponies turned to look at where the direction the chain was from. Revealing a pegasus and an armoured Earth Pony riding on what looked like a robot pegasus. "Who's that?" Twilight asked "They have saved us! Huzzah!" Luna cheered "That couldn't be!!! It's..." Akito started "There's no mistaking it." Sosuke nodded "it looks very similar to the Layzner and Tekkamare Blade... Pfft... Tekkamare? That made me laugh." The two rescuers landed near the group and waved at them to show they were friendly. The shield was dropped and Fluttershy and Rainbow went to inspect them. "W-Who are you?" Fluttershy asked "Don't you recognise me Fluttershy?" The armoured pegasus asked as he retracted his green visor. "It's me, Eiji Asuka!" "No way!!! It really is you!" Akito cried "That... Was... AWESOME!!!" Rainbow Dash shrieked with joy. "How did you do that Mr..." "In this form," Blade interrupted "I am known as Tekkaman Blade. But I am still the pony you know as D-Foal." "I assume these are the robots you've piloted?" Celestia asked "they look too small to be robots. They're more like armour." "Sort of..." Cadence flew over. "Apart from the Tekkaman, the rest of the group do in fact pilot robots. But in this world, everypony is a pony and not a human. When you summoned Eiji and the rest, not only did you take their bodies but also their robots too! The robots though... They've been modified to fit their respective pony, becoming battle armour." "How do you know all this!?" Shining asked, shocked that his wife had the knowledge of robots and what's currently happening. "It just came into my mind when that light that hit Spike hit me." Cadence answered "What light?" Discord asked "We'll explain later!" Blade reminded "right now. We have enemies to face!!!" And the group turned to the remaining enemy force. Author's Note Just so you know, I'm basing this story on Super Robot Wars J. And I know that some protagonists in their respective animes were supposed to be dead. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: A clearing in the mist //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: A clearing in the mist Eiji looked at himself and wondered. "I wonder why this all feels so familiar as a pony? How to fly as a pegasus, how to wear this suit as Layzner and battle with it? Where did all this memory come from?" Eiji wondered until a few missiles were fired at him, snapping his train of thought and dodging it barely. "Rei. Anything we can use apart from the Laser Rifle?" Eiji asked "Just like the Layzner" Rei replied "we can use the knuckle shot. Knuckles are located at the front and back hooves. The Calf Missile Pack is on your back and can also be used." "So wait... Does that also mean?" "Yes." Rei nodded "the V-MAX driver can also be engaged, but now's not a good time." "Well, that's good to know! Let's clear up these Jovians and Gradosians." "Do you plan to disable them?" "Of course!" Eiji fiercely replied "it's no laughing matter!" And flew into the fray, shooting the unmanned Battas and speeding up close to one of the Bravers and with his knuckle hooves, kicked it until the mech was unable to fight. "D-Damn! I'm ejecting!" The Gradosian soldier cried and ejected the cockpit, flying back into the mist. "Grr..." The Gradosian in the glowing Braver growled "I've had enough!!! Send the rest to destroy the town!" He commanded. At once, the Battas and the other 9 Bravers started flying forward towards the town. "Huh? Where do they think they're going?" Rainbow asked "From their direction, they are heading for the town." Flash assessed "Oh crap!!! We need to take them down fast!" Twilight gasped "I'm too tired after deploying that shield..." Shining replied "I'll handle this!" Blade assured as he flew to the air "you may want to stand back though." As the ponies managed to move away from his firing range, he prepared. "This will work... Will it?" Blade asked "ROGER." Pegas replied "Right... Take this!!!" Blade taunted and with his Tek crystal starting to collect energy, some special-light cannons opened up and started charging on his shoulder, aiming down on the enemy force. "Voltekka!!!" Blade cried and the cannons shot a devastating light that covered the entire force of Battas and the 9 bravers, destroying them completely. What was left behind after that dangerous light was a crater where the enemy force once was. "That... Was... AWESOME!!!" Rainbow cried and flew up to Blade "how did you do that!?!? Please teach me!!!" "It's... Rather complicated. And I don't want to talk about it." Blade replied "Aww... Okay." Rainbow sighed. "The glowing Braver is all that is left of the enemy force." Sosuke announced "Leave him to me!" Eiji volunteered "just get somewhere safe!" "Be careful!!!" Akito called out to Eiji as he flew towards the enemy SPT "it may be different than the others!" "You've got guts to fight back!" The soldier taunted "for a pony! But that all ends now... Take this!" And with the Braver pulling out its laser rifle fired three shots so fast that Eiji was unable to dodge one of them. "Rrggh... That firing speed. No SPT could achieve that... And that power, it hurts a lot. Must it be that coin that the centaur inserted?" "Don't lose hope, you can still beat him!" Rei encouraged "Right." Eiji nodded and fired a few laser shots at the enemy. Although it seemed like a true strike, no matter how fast it was, the Braver was faster and with a knuckle shot counter-attack, sent Eiji to the ground sprawling for pain. "No... Way..." Eiji winced "Ha ha ha!" The pilot laughed to himself "all of you are just ponies! All you do is ride people around and become meat for us! It's time to meet your doom!" "No!" Blade made a strike against the Braver in order to cover Eiji. Simply dodging the Tek Lancer, the pilot also knocked Blade down with one punch. "Arrgh..." "I-Impossible..." Eiji coughed "No Eiji! Please don't give up!" Fluttershy cried "Fluttershy..." "I believe in you... Please..." Fluttershy wept. Eiji looked around seeing the ponies that took care of him, tired of fighting back, completely exposed to the dangers of the Braver. "Dammit... You will not harm these ponies!" Eiji roared "Rei! Activiate the V-MAX!" "Affirmative!" Rei replied and did some programming in the Layzner pony suit that caused Eiji to start flying faster and faster. Eiji became at a speed where it managed to catch up to the glowing Braver and started to kick it hard with his knuckles. The pilot was taken by surprise. "No way! That's impossible!!! How is that pony flying as fast as I am!?" The pilot cried as his Braver was pummelled by the pegasus' knuckles and lasers. As he started to look closely at this fast and furious pony, he saw something familiar. "That speed... No way... It can't be. IT CAN'T BE!!!" He pilot yelled as he tried one more time, to punch Eiji out of the sky, but Eiji has V-MAX engaged and hitting the Blue Comet seemed impossible. "Now Rei! V-MAXIMUM!!!" Eiji commanded and with a fresh new burst of speed, charged and attacked the Braver on all sides. "Grr... YOU!!! YOU ARE THE LAYZNER!!!" The soldier cried "This is it!" Eiji remarked as with one final charge, made a full on contact with the glowing Braver and broke through. "LAYZNER!!!" The pilot yelled before the glowing Braver exploded. Leaving behind the gold bit Tirek inserted. As Eiji slowed down, he approached the bit and picked it up. "So this is the coin that the Centaur said, would clear the bloody mist." Eiji wondered and peered at the bit, it had a peculiar design to it. Instead of the usual irregular hexagon gem, this one had a design of a comet on it "this comet looks very familiar." "Eiji!!! You did it!!!" Twilight yelled as the other ponies ran up to him. "I guess we can still fight when we're ponies." Blade chuckled "Yes... And it seems so familiar." Eiji added "Ugh..." Blade winced as he reverted to his normal pony form "I need to eat..." "Let me guess..." Rainbow Dash asked "you get hungry after all that Tekkaman business?" "Yeah..." D-Foal nodded "does anypony have an apple on them?" "Mr Asuka, may I see that bit?" Celestia asked "You call coins bits here? But sure okay." Eiji nodded and flicked it into her magic range where she inspected it. "Hmm... This bit can clear the mist? I don't know to use it. I can't sense any power from it." Celestia inspected "Milady!!! While we were fighting, it turns out that the mist is slowly approaching and is now touching the borders of Ponyville! If we don't do anything about it sooner, the mist will be upon us!" "Think Celestia think..." Celestia wondered "what can you do?" "Excuse me Princess... May I?" Eiji asked "What? Oh, here..." Celestia passed the coin to Eiji once again "do you know something about it?" "No..." Eiji replied "but I can feel something about that bit. Like there is some magic that's waiting to be exposed. Hmm..." As he rubbed it a little, the bit started to glow and shine a brilliant yellow light. "Woah!!!" Rainbow noted "Eiji!!! Are you alright!?" Fluttershy asked "Yes I am..." Eiji replied "but I think something spoke to me. Told me what to do with this bit." And with one mighty toss, threw it at the mist approaching Ponyville. Once into the mist, the bit exploded and cleared the mist bringing back the sun's rays over that land. "Wow Eiji!!! You did it!" Twilight gasped "We would never know that you would clear the mist!" Luna complimented "Parts of the mist." Sosuke noted pointing at other segments of the bloody mist. "Looks like we've got to find more coins then." Flash added "Princess..." Eiji asked Celestia "before I threw it, the same voice told me about you summoning me and the rest. If I could remember, you used something to summon us correct?" "Oh! Of course... A bit of the main design of Equestria." "Right... Well, It's because..." "Well done Princess." A voice interrupted "I may have underestimated you." Everypony turned to see Tirek emerging from the mist a third time. "Tirek..." "You and your ponies did seem to put up a good resistance after all. Very well then, I will give you a 5 day period starting tomorrow. Be sure to prepare then." Tirek promised "but the result will be the same." And made his leave. "Alright ponies. Now we have to fully prepare." Cadence replied "Hey everypony!!!" a voice called for the group to turn to find Kira, Spike and Yuu galloping towards them. Kira was clad in his armour. "What a dashing suit!" Rarity exclaimed "Thanks. Anyway, everypony is now clearing out of the castle. They're happy to have seen part of the mist get cleared by that explosion, knowing that their town is safe. Also..." "Also what?" Applejack asked "You'll need to know..." "We know." Akito replied "our robots... Well, our suits are located in that Castle." "Actually" Yuu corrected "something else is added to that pile. It's another battle suit that's similar to Eiji's." "Similar to mine...?" Eiji asked "Although I haven't seen it, the description of it surely matches some data files I've found in that room." Spike piped up "It's ID code is SPT-BB-02U and the SPT's name is... Baybull." "Baybull!?" Eiji yelled "does that mean..." "Captain." Flash replied "we seem to have a new pony who's asking weird questions." "What the..." Shining jumped "where were you?" "After the mist had cleared, I went to go scouting around the boarders of Ponyville. During that time, I saw this Red coated pegasus with a blond mane and tail trotting up to Ponyville, he told me he found himself in an area where the mist once resided." "That seems suspicious... What is his name?" "Is his name David Rutherford!?" Eiji called out "Indeed." Flash nodded. "Hey... Umm... Excuse me Mr Knight?" A voice called Flash and he turned around to see the Red Pegasus "I also happen to be looking for a friend here. His name is--" "I'm right here David." Eiji waved "What the... Eiji!?" David cried with terror and joy "what are you doing here!? And what are Akito, Kira and the others doing here? And why are you a pony like I am!?" "We've got a lot to talk about." Eiji chuckled Pony Database Name: Albatro Null/Eiji Asuka Race: Pegasus Mane colour: Navy Blue Coat Colour: Blue Cutie Mark: Blue Comet Affiliates (Humans): David Rutherford (friend) Roanne Demitrich (friend) Anna Stephanie (marefriend) Simone Reflann (friend) Arthur Cummings Jr. (Friend) Dr. Elizabeth Clabery (Friend/Guardian?)

He grew up as a low-ranking Gradosian SPT pilot on the Empire's homeworld. A pacifist by nature, he still decides to take a more direct hand when he learns of the invasion of Earth. Unfortunately he is torn between his beliefs and his loyalties towards the comrades of his homeworld, many whom he considers to be his kindred. This forces Eiji to go to extreme lengths to not kill his opponents: an ideal made vastly difficult by the amoral AI aboard the Layzner. As a pony, Eiji is noted as one of the most fastest pegasi that could even equal Rainbow Dash without having the Layzner suit on. Due to impressive speeds, Rainbow Dash has respect for him. Whenever he has difficulty learning about something pony, Fluttershy was always there to help him out. He helps out in Ponyville by patrolling the borders in case any robots were to attack. Rei was an AI aboard the Layzner that was so intelligent that she had an actual personality with feminine characteristics and the nature of a sweet child. However, she would always recommend Eiji to destroy the cockpit of an enemy, killing its pilot when in battle, instead of disabling the SPT. Sometimes, she can take control of Layzner herself to protect Eiji. Upon entering the pony world, Rei transformed into a female baby dragon with blue scales and green spikes. Her personality is still the same when she was an AI but now that she has a live body, she is able to have a wider variety of language and other ponies saw her as a cute baby dragon. She formed a solid friendship with Spike. Author's Note Just so everyone knows. I'm basing this off the Super Robot Taisen J game here, some characters do not die in the game, even though they died in the anime. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: The days of preparation (Day 1) //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: The days of preparation (Day 1) Equestria has been given the taste of what the otherworldly forces would feel like despite being given a 5-day preparation. The Princesses and their friends along with otherworldly help of their own manifested into the form of ponies, managed to defend Ponyville from it's first wave and with it, cleared parts of hostile mist that threatened the borders of Ponyville. This early wave was however, a test of their strength in order to see if the ponies were strong and ready. Now promised their 5-day preparation, the ponies were faced with matters that need attending: The defensive measures against future attacks on Ponyville, Canterlot AND the Crystal Empire, the liberation of the lands shrouded in the bloody mist, the safety measures of all the ponies living in the three areas and with a new case, the search for any more otherworldly allies that has turned into ponies such as Eiji's friend, David Rutherford. "Eiji!? Where are you!?" David cried "Layzner!!! Come in!!!" Roanne communicated to no avail "I've got nothing..." Simone sighed "Brother..." Julia prayed "We mustn't give up! I'm sure we can still find him!!!" Gale encouraged "Look people!!! There's a light exploding in the sky!!!" Anne pointed "Again!? That's the time right after Eiji disappeared!" David reminded "Hey... David..." Arthur pointed with fear "What?" "Your... Body..." "Oh no... Am I disappearing!?" "Just so you know, so is the Baybull!!!" Dr Elizabeth called out "No!!! Help me!!! I don't want to die!!!" "Relax!!!" Simone held "you won't die! I remember that figure saying that she dragged Eiji to her world. Maybe she's dragging you in too! You can find Eiji then get out of there!!!" "O-Okay then!!! I hope you're in there Eiji because I'm going to find you!" "Good luck!" Arthur called before David completely disappeared from their view. "I... See. So that's what happened." David, as a red-coat pegasus, sighed after hearing the whole story from Eiji. "Yes. The Princess told me she only just brought me, Koji and the others here. She had nothing to do with you." "So... Was I here by accident?" "We told the Princess we could use the help from you guys. Though that spell takes about a week to recharge, you apparently showed up!" "So... I'm needed by these... Ponies???" "I need all of you. Roanne, Simone, and the others. I'm sure the natives will also get used to you. We're actually getting praises for defending the town!" "But... How can you defend the town from those Jovians and Gradosians? Especially without Layzner?" "David... In the pony world... Things run very differently!!!" Eiji laughed. That was in fact, true as the otherworldly ponies were no longer worried about finding their 'robots' to fight against their old enemies. In Twilight's castle, there was a mysterious door that housed all the equipment necessary for these human-turned-ponies to fight as they did before, caused by a brilliant light of memory. This however, did not affect just the 8 of them. It seemed to have filled the minds of any native ponies, the knowledge of robots and the realm of the humans and their events. "Hmm..." Applejack wondered after she stepped out of the room. "And ah thought Tirek was messed up already!" "I'll never know how democracy can stabilise a world such as that." Rarity dreaded "So much robots..." Rainbow moaned, clutching her head. "It's rather... Fascinating..." Fluttershy confessed. As the native ponies were conversing over the knowledge of the human world, the humans-turned-ponies had also some problems of their own. "What's wrong Domon?" Sosuke asked "you look unhappy. One of the natives got you angry?" "My mind is currently thinking about meat right now!" Domon whined "but these ponies are herbivores. And we've all become one too!!! My digestive system takes longer to digest food and my body wants to crave hay and flowers. Oh dear... What has happened to me!?" "But Domon, the native ponies have a bigger diet variety than you think. From what I've scouted, they eat fruits, dairy products, wheat products, anything and everything except for meat, they even eat something called 'hayburgers'. As for drinks, they drink pretty much everything and that includes some alcoholic drinks. Mostly, ponies here like eating and drinking sweet things. If Melua Mela Meia were here, her emotions of joy will go off the charts. She would mostly hang around the store where Pinkie Pie works and her sweet tooth will go rotten in 10 seconds flat." Despite both sides having problems of their own, they shared a lot with each other. With special talents to show and memories to present and trade, the pony natives started to accept the newcomers from another world. "Wow. Look at that unicorn levitating and teleporting around." Carrot Cake pointed out to Yuu Isami, testing out the fact that his Brain Powered and its power has completely merged into his mind and body. "Pinkie said the teleportation was known as Vital Jumping and it had to do something about this Chakra energy coming from something called Brain Powered." Mrs Cake explained "either way, it seems Pound and Pumpkin really like to play with him!" Apart from testing out his new Chakra powers, he indeed was playing with the Cake Twins, flying and levitating around with him. Using his Vital Jump to play peekaboo as well as have small flying races, the cake twins sure love playing with their new neighbour! "Hime would love this place." Yuu giggled to himself "and I'm sure that everyone back at Novis Noah and Orphan would love this place too... Though I'm not sure what Kant is going to do with them. Better not think about that... Anyway, peekaboo!!!" With the native ponies of Equestria having their own problems, they gladly accepted the help to overcome them from the newcomers. "Milady... May I ask... What is this?" Flash asked as he picked up a grain of rice "It looks like a grain... But a grain of what?" "It's rice!" Twilight explained "it grew from the rice fields in Chineigh and imported all the way here to Equestria at my own request!!! I've read from the books about foreign countries and their special delicacies! I'd thought I'd like the town to try some!!!" "As much as everypony would like to try something new, does anypony around actually have the knowledge to prepare this 'rice'?" "That's a good question... Um..." Twilight wondered as she inspected one grain. "Put them in the oven?" "With a surface area like that, it would not withstand the heat." Flash assessed "True... Maybe the microwave?" "Honestly..." Flash decided "I don't think you need just heat..." "... It needs water as well." Akito replied as he approached them. "You've made this before?" Twilight asked "And that's my real talent." Akito noted pointing at his flank to show a rice bowl that has some black and white light in it, and a strange looking symbol at the front of the bowl. "That symbol... And that light..." Flash asked "And I'm also stuck with those too..." Akito sighed "that symbol is the mark of a pilot and that mark is based on boson jumping." "Hmm... From what I can remember from that light, Boson jumping is basically like vital jumping, but you can also grasp and manipulate time to your will." Twilight remembered "Let's not talk about that..." Akito suggested "so you want to know how to cook rice? I've found all my cooking tools back in that room." "We'd love to!" "Okay then. First, you need to drain the rice with a pot on the stove..." Akito instructed. After an example and through instructions, it was time to see the results. "Wow!!! It looks lovely!!!" Twilight exclaimed after seeing a straight up prepared bowl of rice with a few other condiments such as vegetables and eggs. "One of my favourites, this dish is called Martian Bowl! You eat the rice with the egg and vegetables and it's really nice. Why don't you guys try it, then make one for yourselves?" After a few seconds of eating, both ponies were very satisfied "Wow!!! It really is delicious!!!" Twilight exclaimed "Yes. For something different, it is by far, better than what was served in the canteen. Canteen food still tastes great though." Flash nodded "I've read your personal file. Probably because you're never picky with what you eat Flashy." Twilight mocked "now let's make one each!" "Flashy!? Umm... I mean... Whatever you say princess." Flash blushed. Flash and Twilight worked busily on their dishes while Akito chuckled and looked outside the window. "Wow... There's a lot of fresh food around here. This place ain't so bad." Akito admired "We're done!!!" Twilight called. Akito returned to see two different Martian bowls that looked distinct from his design. "I... Don't think I did that well." Flash sweated as he presented his dish. Indeed it lacked a lot in quality, with the rice all in a mess. But when Akito tasted it, it brought a smile to the young pony's face. "Not bad." Akito complimented "not that good on quality, but it certainly tastes what it should be." "Your file says you also master every skill of survival in the field that you could even do home cooking in the field! Though it also said your presentation of such dishes needs improving." Twilight chuckled "Well then, I'd like to see how your dish turns out." Flash grinned "Agreed." Akito nodded "it does look very good!" And as he took a bite out of it, he stood in silence. "Well?" Twilight asked "There's quite a lot of things missing in this..." Akito noted as he tried to savour any flavour of Twilight's dish. "Umm... Really?" "Yep... It may look good, but it's got nothing." Akito shook. "But hey, at least it's better than Yurika's!" "You know Akito, is it ok if you can cook for the town?" Twilight proposed "you don't have to if you don't want to..." "Are you kidding me!?" Akito cried "I would definitely do that over fighting any day!!! Consider it done! If there is a good number of supplies required for my talents, I'm your stallion!" "Well, we've got a lot of this rice to handle." Flash pointed out "since this is imported, we may have to start growing our own rice if it starts to get popular with Equestria's taste, but we have ample supplies of all the other condiments required for any dish you so wish to make." "Yeah. I noticed this place is brimming with a lot of agriculture!" "It's the main business here in Ponyville." Twilight explained. And when these visitors had problems of their own, anypony was able to help them out!!! "Hmm..." Kira wondered as he tried to see how he could be helpful. "All I know is about writing up OSes. I wonder how things work here? I mean, how can I use my unicorn powers? I can't even levitate things!" "You look awfully distressed Kira." Shining noted as he saw the coordinator unicorn passing by. "Is anything wrong?" "Well" Kira answered "I'm just not used to this world, I don't know how to use what I've got. I know that I can use magic since I can feel it, I just don't know how to let it out." "Then the first thing you've got to do" Shining instructed "is to concentrate very hard on what you want to levitate. For instance." Shining concentrated and levitated a random bucket that was hanging around and levitated around Kira before putting it down where it used to be. "Now you try Kira." "Okay then." Kira nodded, he stared at the bucket, at tried concentrating on it. "Come on..." Kira pleaded. "Tell yourself where you also want that bucket to go. Either to you or somewhere. Try and think on where you want to put the bucket." "Hnngh!" Kira focused until he felt something snap inside his head, replaced with a cloud of presence in his mind. Kira wondered what it is and tried to move it around, turns out this cloudy thing was moving under his command! As he held that cloud close to him, Kira opened his eyes to see that the bucket was levitating right in front of him surrounded by a teal coloured aura. "Woah!" Kira jumped surprised, breaking him out of his focus and dropping the bucket "Not bad!" Shining complimented. "Wow... I did it..." Kira gasped "Practice makes perfect." Shining added "now try it again." "Okay, should be easier now..." Kira nodded and focused once more without closing his eyes. This time, he managed to envelop the bucket with his teal coloured magic and move it around in the air. "Yes." Kira cheered to himself "Looks like you can handle levitation." Shining analysed "how about you try using the crank of a water well?" Indeed, most ponies were able to get along with the ponified humans, but not all. Some had a great concern with their presence and are not afraid of showing them out. "That's some fancy device you've built!" Spitfire noted she examined a strange machine that Koji built "I've heard from Rainbow that you've got some trouble with some certain thunderclouds having distorted charges." "Yeah, we leave all that science stuff to the unicorns." Soarin chuckled "Well no problem!" Koji replied "this mechanical baby will fix it up no problem! All I just need to do is to bring this thing up to the clouds and it will do the work!" "But... It's a bit dangerous for an Earth pony. Why don't we do it?" Spitfire suggested "Listen, I know that Pegasi are masters of weather manipulation, but I also know that dealing with the weather can be very dangerous, especially with electricity. I can handle this type of work in order to maintain safety issues." "But... You can't fly." Soarin pointed out "No need to!" Koji chuckled and brought out a hoverboard. "Wait..." Rainbow held "that strongly looks like the Kaiser Pilder in your world." "It is the Kaiser Pilder!" Koji laughed "It's just converted to a hoverboard in the pony world, but it could still soar as high as the clouds!" He jumped on the hoverboard and flew around Rainbow and the wonderbolts for a quick trial "see?" "That's awesome." Spitfire replied amazed. "Now shall we?" "Woah!" Koji yelled as the 4 ponies flew through the dark clouds "it's sure dark in here. Wonder why it's not windy." "Air pressure's low today in the high altitude, it's going to be windy and rainy on the ground soon enough." "Then let's get cloud fixing!" Koji replied. As the 4 arrived at their destination, Koji fiddled with some final adjustments on the machine. "Stand back now." Koji warned "it's going to go zap!" In response, two adjacent clouds immediately let loose the sparks of lightning, directly connecting to a side of the machine each. "Woah!" Soarin exclaimed "that machine's not even toasted!" "I've configured the machine to match the opposite charges of the clouds." Koji explained "courtesy of Photon Power Labs! Though... This machine and cloud configuration is kind of the first." "How long will it take?" Rainbow asked as she watched the furious lines of lightning continuously striking the sides of the machine. "5 minutes." Koji replied. After all the mentioned thunderclouds have been fixed and settled, the 4 ponies landed back in Ponyville laughing. "Man, that was an amazing show!" Spitfire complimented "I didn't even know what to do if certain circumstances like this happened again!" Soarin chuckled "Thank goodness you were around Koji!" Rainbow thanked "Oh shush, it's no problem at all." Koji replied "Excuse me!" A voice screeched nearby, a very stern looking pony was trotting straight towards them "Oh, hello Ms Harshwinny!" Rainbow greeted "I dare say those nearby clouds seem to have a massive fight with each other! What did you Pegasi do?" "Us?" Spitfire asked "we just did some cloud fixing, its all done and dusted!" "And who might you be?" Ms Harshwinny asked Koji "I have never seen you around before." "I'm Koji Kabuto! Pleasure to meet you madam!" Koji greeted "Hmm..." The inspector peered at the lightning machine next to him, as well has the Pilder hoverboard "and what are these!?" "Those are special items of mine." Koji answered "I used this board to fly in the skies and this machine to help fixed those clouds back then." "Well I say!" Ms Harshwinny angrily replied "do you know how dangerous it is for an Earth Pony to deal with lightning!?" "Well." Koji whistled "dealing with physics is my speciality! Especially with lightning!" "It matters not." Ms Harshwhinny replied "what matters is that Earth ponies are not to toil with the work of the pegasi, understand?" "But..." "No buts Mr Kabuto." Ms Harshwinny interrupted "let the pegasi do their own job. For your safety, stay on the ground and don't play with lightning!" And abruptly trotted away leaving an upset Koji behind. "But..." Koji repeated "It's okay Koji." Spitifire cheered "this is why she's called Ms Harshwinny!" "Besides" Soarin added "she's worried for everypony's safety!" "She's also prefers professionalism on the skills of a pony's species." Rainbow chuckled "Hmm..." Koji smiled "I understand. I don't think she's a bad pony at all. Reminds me of somepony." As everypony in Ponyville were now able to carry on their everyday lives, Princess Celestia and Luna came to visit Twilight. "Princess!" Spike greeted as the two princesses landed at the castle entrance "how fares Canterlot? It's not covered in red fog... Is it?" "Not at all. No need to worry." Celestia comforted "but we need an emergency meeting. Get Twilight, her friends, Flash, Shining and Cadence and the 8 hu... I mean 9 humans-turned-ponies." "So glad to see you didn't leave out good old David!" Spike laughed "I'm not old!" David retorted as he and Eiji overheard the baby dragon. "But that's what I am about to discuss." Celestia finished. "Sounds serious." Eiji replied. As everypony gathered Celestia discussed the important matters concerning the fog and enemies. "A 5-day preparation is very precious. We must not waste it." Celestia replied "We plan to make sure the towns and cities are well defended with what we have." Luna informed "But with the current numbers and ways of attacks in Ponyville, Crystal Empire and Canterlot combined, I'm not sure how we would be able to withstand such an attack." Sosuke replied "Hey! We managed to pull our weight!" Rainbow replied offended "But how many are like you? Apart from you and the wonderbolts, I'm not sure if the civilians would put up much of a fight." "Maybe 3 of us can defend either Ponyville, Canterlot or the Crystal Empire." Yuu suggested "Apart from that, my main concern is this." Celestia briefed "we may be given a break, but they can do a lot of preparing and scouting too. I need to make sure we can do the same." "I'l get on to that." Shining saluted "As for reconnaissance. I also plan to make some... Sneak attacks." "I beg your pardon?" Twilight replied "If we make any assault, Tirek would consider our days of preparation over and the chances of defending Equestria will be gone before we know it." "Does Tirek know you will plan such thing?" Twilight asked "Not at all, he thinks I'm always graceful and elegant and that I will only spout the defence. Well guess what? I'm gonna throw that elegance away and initiate the first punch." "May I ask why your Highness would want to strike the enemy first?" D-Foal asked "Because bits." Eiji replied "Pardon?" Flash asked "Bits. You know, the coins and your currency. Remember the one I tossed at the mist which cleared it?" "Yes?" Flash replied "Well, It also brought along poor David here too." "Quite a surprise." David chuckled "So that means..." Flash thought loudly "If we start making a stealthy attack against the enemy, our chances of finding a glowing unit will increase." "Exactly." Celestia replied "I'd like to gain enough terrain to fight on as well as gather the help from your friends and allies." "Then I guess this settles our two conditions." Kira concluded happily "It'll be good to see Athrun, Lacus, Cagalli, Mu, Capt. Raimus and everypony else!" "Not so fast." David interrupted "I think there's a catch." "What is it?" Akito asked "Eiji, this bit you were talking about. What was it inserted to?" "An SPT Braver." "And what did the bit look like?" "A comet." "That refers to the Layzner right? The blue comet." "I think I understand what David's getting on now." Rei piped up "Birdy!" Birdy chirped in excitement "What have you got then?" Domon asked "Birdy! Birdy Birdy Birdy!" Birdy chirped "Um... I don't speak bird, sorry." Koji joked "He suggesting that what ever unit is glowing, be it a Death soldier, ZAFT unit, Reclaimer or whatever, the bit will reveal an ally used to fighting their respective enemy." "So..." Domon replied "If a Jovian unit is glowing, there's a high chance that the bit will look like the symbol of Nergal and when thrown at the mist, it will bring one of Akito's friends and their robots?" "It could even bring the entire Nadesico ship for all I know!" Rei laughed "Oh I see where this is going." Kira realised "A glowing Radam enemy will yield a bit that can summon D-Foal's friends, and if by any chance there's a glowing mercenary, it's going to be either Kurz, Mao or Chidori and the entire crew of the Tuatha de denann! And since Rei and Birdy can have real life bodies, maybe Bonta-Kun can become a real life animate!" "Oh Celestia..." Sosuke sighed "So, when can we start reconnaissance?" Flash asked "Maybe day 3, we'll plan things for the first 2 days." Celestia replied "This meeting is over. Everypony is dismissed!" Luna commanded Meanwhile, somewhere in Tartarus, Tirek was milling over Equestria's performance. "Not bad... Not bad..." "Lord Tirek." A bipedal figure came from behind "Ah, it's you." "I have seen the battle from the Red fog. It seems that a few of my Gradosians have returned safely as they have been forced to eject." "That's a problem?" "No, ejecting is not a problem at all. But being forced to eject? Yes." "What are you trying to say?" "When I was in my world, I know an enemy of Grados who has been disabling his opponents instead of killing them. I feel that this first skirmish is very familiar." "What do you think?" "I think the ponies has allied with some certain Earth monkeys and a traitor." "Hmm..." Tirek wondered and pulled out 6 special bits. He inserted one into a Batta, GINN, Radam beast, Death Soldier, Grand Cher and Mechabeast. As a result, these 6 machines or creatures started to glow intensely. "I'll send them out to do some recon. Just because the ponies think I can let them rest easy does not mean I won't leave them alone. I'll see how the elegant Celestia would just continue defending life." "Heh heh..." The human chuckled Pony Database Name: Yuu Isami Race: Unicorn Mane colour: Navy Blue Coat colour: Blue Cutie Mark: Lone wolf Affiliates (Humans): Hime Utsumiya (Marefriend?)

Despite the frictions between his family's ambitions to discover more of Orphan's nature and his own freedom, Yuu understands the value of keeping life precious and the memories that would cherish in his life. He has lone wolf tendencies, often going off on his own for unofficial missions or just sitting on deck staring at the sky without the company of others. As a Pony, Yuu still keeps his lone wolf tendencies as he just normally likes to sit and stare at the clouds at day or night. However, he greatly thinks about everypony back at his world and here in Equestria. He also starts to grow friendly and be sociable with the residents of Ponyville. Being a unicorn, he sometimes spends time with Twilight in order to learn and perfect his pony magic. As his Brain Powered became a part of his pony body, he is able to manoeuvre like his Brain Powered. That is, levitate in the air and "vital jump" around the place. He is also able to use the chakra power of his Brain Powered to initiate his Chakra shields as well as use his horn to open a portal for missiles to fly out, shoot chakra beams and to materialise the main weapon of any Brain Powered, the Brain Bar. When summoning 2 however, the bars appear on his front hooves instead. He uses his Brain Powered abilities (or magic) to normally play with the Cake Twins when he has the chance or when they nag and wail at him constantly when they want to play with him. This allowed Yuu to make friends with the cake family as well as to help them out free of charge. He's not a baby sitter or full time worker like Pinkie, but his presence is always welcomed. Author's Note Remember that I'm still sticking to the robot roster list on the long description of the story. The singular robot series will make their appearance, and so will the Banpresto Originals. Question: What is your favourite robot series in the game of Super Robot Taisen J? Mine's got to be Gundam SEED, no matter how many people hate it. Sure, the developers of the storyline did some silly stuff in there that left me heartbroken (Athrun and Cagalli? Mirialla and Dearka? They broke up? HOW COULD YOU!?) it was rather funny, because Haro, Birdy and similar VA's to MLP. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: The days of preparation (Day 2) //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: The days of preparation (Day 2) As the second day rolled in, the ponies of Equestria were still minding their normal day to day jobs, as well as the human-turned-ponies helping out in anyway possible. Yuu however, felt rather interested more about the history of Equestiria, and their "accidental appearance". So he and the 8 ponies as well as the newly joined David took a trip with the Ponyville group to Canterlot to see the Princess. "Hello my little ponies." Celestia greeted as the group trotted in her room. "Are you in need of something?" "Actually" Yuu answered "I want to know more about that super-powered elemental you were first trying to summon. "Is that so? Is everypony else interested?" "I'm game." Koji replied with a few approved nods from others "I for one, would like to know as well Princess." Twilight added "I've never heard about the history of this elemental before." "Very well then." Celestia nodded "make yourself comfortable, and I will begin." "This better be good." Domon muttered My Sister and I have been told tales of elementals that have the power to rival even the most powerful princesses of Equestria. There were 8 of them in total, tamed and controlled by an almighty Dragon. Each elemental is represented by their own force of nature: Wind, Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth, Mountain, the Moon and the Heavens, the most powerful elemental of all, though some neighsayers would debate Skies instead of Heavens. These elementals and the dragon never interfered with Pony kind, nor did they have the need to, and lived in peace with Equestria. One fateful day, something had changed inside the elemental of the Heavens. Despite being the most powerful of the elementals, he wanted more power for himself, and as he tried to find any other means of boosting his power, from exploring the vastness of space beyond Equestria, to tearing Equestria apart, as well as nearly of all ponykind. The other elementals tried to stop him, but their efforts were meaningless. One by one, they fell to his attacks that contain intense waves of energy and can even traverse into different dimensions. "Sounds scary!!!" David piped up "Please don't interrupt." Sosuske snapped. And these moves are just the tip of the iceberg. The elemental has one more move that can shake the skies and ground itself, exterminating anything in it's radius. I thought it were to be just another myth. I had no realisation that I would be eating my thoughts when Luna and I rose to power. Last I heard that this elemental decided to travel far away from Equestria. Only for it to come back and threaten Equestria once again. Discord, Luna and I had experienced it's power first-hand and the result was terrifying. Us 3 tried our hardest to fight the elemental back, and be it luck or not, we managed to weaken it far enough to seal it up, but it was not before destroying all of Equestria once again. "And that's all I know about the story." Celestia finished "Wow." Rainbow whistled "seems deep." "And destructive!" Pinkie finished. "And I assume that it's sleeping form is taken in that yellow orb?" Yuu asked "Yes." "To capture a being so powerful..." Kira gasped "the three of you are more powerful than ZAFT and Earth Alliance combined!" "But as I think about it..." Akito wondered "it's awfully familiar..." "Princess!" A guard reported into the room "we've have just received reports of certain robots scouting around Ponyville." "Right..." Celestia nodded "so they have come. I guess you know what that means." "Busting a few heads? I'm in." Domon smiled "What type are they?" Luna asked "4 enemy groups, mixed out of GINNs, Battas, Skullgunners, and Radam. However, at the head of each enemy group, there is a glowing unit." "And they are?" Eiji's asked, eyes wide open. "A Batta, a GINN, a Death Soldier... And a Grand Cher." "So chances are..." Pinkie analysed "that if we release their coins, it will bring somepony from either the Nadesico, Archangel, Shuffle Alliance, or the Novis Noah." "It's time for battle preperations everypony." Flash announced "to Ponyville!" Author's Note Phew! Finally finished the HSC! Now I can write as much as I want and as much as I can!
