Martians In Equestria

Chapter 13

Martian And Pony (Part 2)

The Martians in their machines watched in admiration that the shield that at first seemed like it was going to be impossible to break, had been shattered into a thousand pieces by Wacko's tripod. Unfortunately for him with him crashing into the mountainside, his condition was unknown, but the Martians couldn't give a shit about him, they were all happy that they could carry on with the siege of Canterlot.

When the shattering pieces of glass was falling all around the guard ponies, Shining Armor and his troops looked over the battlements and could see the Martian army preparing to restart their advance towards the city.

UUUULLLLLLAAAAAAA!

The thunderous Martian war cry made even the bravest guard shiver, and they couldn't be in that state for long as before they knew it, the Martians machines began walking towards Canterlot, but the ponies weren't all that weak…

As he was on the top section of the city, Shining Armor looked down and began barking orders to the further lower sections down below. "Prepare the catapults!" He ordered loudly down below, which just as he ordered, various groups of guard ponies began loading the catapults with giant tar covered stone boulders, which were eventually lit on fire.

"Hold it…!" The white unicorn barked as he waited for his moment to strike as the Martian metal monsters lumbered along the Canterlot peninsula.

"Wait…!" Several of his troops on all levels were becoming more and more full of anxiety, as the Martians were getting closer. The Handling Machines were the first to make it at the wall of the city and due to their nimbly size and claw like feet that helped them climbed up almost anything, they started scaling the giant city wall like spiders, and with their mechanical tentacles started picking any guard pony they could catch and started chucking them onto a great metal basket on their backs.

"FIRE!" Shining Armor roared to the chorus of catapults firing their flaming fireballs towards the Martians. Quite amazingly, some of the fireballs actually managed to hit some of the tripods and even destroy some of them.

UUUULLLLLLAAAAAAA!

Upon seeing some of their comrades fall, the Martians fired their heat rays along to the city walls and rock face, to, unsurprisingly, major destruction and explosions that only Michael Bay would be envious off. Despite the heat rays destroying any form of defense the ponies had up, bless them for at least trying to hold up against them with them firing back catapult attacks until they were wiped out, practically on the lower parts of the city.

Shining Armor watched as his forces were being wiped out like a pack of flies as parts of the city on the rock face started to crumble around them. Nevertheless, the brave ponies carried on firing as much as they could with the catapults, but the Martians clearly had the upper hand (or hoof…tentacle…who gives a fuck really?) as their mighty heat rays rained down upon the city. During all this, Wacko's tripod was fully embedded it seemed into the rock face and with no chance of getting out, thankfully though, it had stopped to be on the positive side. Wacko's followers could only watch in fear as each moment went by, Wacko's Fighting Machine didn't move, they could only assume that he had been knocked unconscious in the collision or worse…he'd kicked the bucket and gone off to that great cheesy alien paradise in the sky…then for the rest of the Martians storming Canterlot, they all couldn't give a flying fuck.

"Someone get in there and fucking help him!" Torno's voice roared through the radio among his fellow group of Martian troops.

Sitting next to him, Abaztard rolled his eyes. "What the hell you on about? WE are the official spies for the Martian king, so WE have to go out there and get him out!"

Torno stared at his partner with a blank expression. "We…? We're fucking spies man, not the shitty rescue service!"

"We're gonna have to go out anyway to save him!" Abaztard snapped.

"Why so?" Torno asked curiously.

The other spy then pulled out from under his black spy cloak waved out a thick white booklet in front of Torno. "'Cause it says in the script for this story that we go out and rescue him!"

Torno put on a poker face that only you'd wish to have for an internet meme, completely oblivious even that they had broken the forth wall. "…Erm…fine." And with that, Abaztard (being the somewhat second in command) ordered them to follow the other Martians into the city, though instead of raiding, they were out to save Wacko.

It did seem rather strange though, here were the Martians on the verge of taking over the world, and all Abaztard and Torno wanted to do was help save a friend, still, it does so that SOME Martians do have a sensitive side.

Back with the ponies, the Martians had destroyed the first city wall, and now the population of Canterlot panicked and ran for their lives. Shining Armor yelled for any surviving troops to fall back to the second tier of the city and rally again to hold of the Martian swarm as best as they could.

Though you will probably guess already that it's all over for the ponies.

Leading the Martians into the city was the commanding Martian, who was already thinking of popping champagne bottles for such an easy victory, despite losing nearly a quarter of their forces trying to storm the city. It was quite an enjoyable feeling for him as he fired his heat ray on the Canterlot buildings and destroying, not to mention the sight of ponies fleeing away from them. Ah yes, it was good to be a Martian at this point.

"Alright guys, let's get to the second level and take the city!" The commander boomed proudly through his radio system to the others. Two other Fighting Machines flanked him as they carried on down the streets in their giant metal machines. All of a sudden from out of the smoke appeared seven individuals, six of which were ponies.

The three tripods stopped as they looked down at these individuals. These guys were in fact the bearers of harmony, bearing their necklaces and in Twlight's case his crown, ready to make a stand. From a distance, Shining Armor watched in shock that his sister and her friends just stood there in the face of overwhelming odds.

"This ends now Martians!" Twilight Sparkle shouted up towards the metal titans.

The Martians inside their hoods didn't know if to laugh or just to finish them off quickly and be done with it. "Move it you lot!" The commanding Martian boomed down at them through his speaker. "We are claiming this planet in the name of the Martian empire and or ourselves to have a better life here!"

The commander kept speaking like it was all coming out of his ass, but Twilight and the five others readied themselves as Spike watched on as he started writing out on a sheet of paper of the siege of Canterlot taking place.

Then, with the help of the magic from their elements, they began to glow with magic.

At once, the Martian commander stopped talking and along with the three other Martians in their Fighting Machines, they stared at the scene below them. Magic was nothing that any Martian knew about, so all they could do was marvel at what these ponies were doing, but you, the reader, and know that the Martians should've ran for their lives at this point.

Twilight's eyes (that were shut before) opened to show them glowing white, which the sight itself made the giant tripods to take a step back. Then before they knew it, a giant burst of magic energy rocketed upwards towards the unsuspecting Martians.

The Commander Martian suddenly knew what was going on and barely had time to turn around or even tell his troops to fall back, but all he could utter was a small "Oh fuck me—" before his and the other two Fighting Machines were hit by the force of large magic and slowly were turned to stone, before falling back and crashing with heavy force and smashing into thousands of pieces.

A few other Martians who had only just started flanking them could now only stop and watch in shock as these three ponies simply turned their commander and two other Martians to stone.

"Good job, sis," Shining Armor uttered to himself as he watched the scene from above. Nearby, the three princesses (or the three stooges if you ask the Martians) looked down on the ponies below looking relive, though this quickly faded when they soon at least a dozen and so Martians in either Fighting or Handling machines appearing all around the bearers of harmony, completely outnumbered.

Twilight and the others looked round as the giant silver titans seemed to circle them almost like a pack of vultures. Though they weren't giving in that easily.

"Come on, let's do it!" Twilight ordered as they were surrounded by the magic aura from before. At once, the other Martian machines prepared to fire their heat rays at the group, before suddenly they were stopped from a sudden blast of blue energy that nearly ripped through the hood of one of the Fighting Machines.

And it wasn't from the Mane six, le gasp.

Looking up, Celestia, Luna and Cadence looked down at the invaders with their horns glowing and their cold expressions that were certainly the stuff of nightmares.

"I'm not getting my ass kicked about by some magical ponies!" Roared one of the Martian pilots in one of the Handling Machines.

With no one to lead them due to their commander being…somewhat out of action…he aimed the tripod's heat ray towards the princesses and was preparing to finish them off. The three princesses could see what the rest of the Martians were preparing to do, all aiming at them, until they all heard a sound from a most unlikely source.

Both Martian and Pony all looked towards the ruined rock face, a groaning mechanical sound could be heard, there pulling itself away from the damaged rock face…was Wacko's tripod!

The front of the hood was badly damage and the heat ray had now become a bent rod that was leaking out hot steam. As it moved away from the cliff face and turned to look at the staring audience, Wacko's tripod turned to look up at the princesses.

Inside his tripod, Wacko was badly wounded, no shit, and all over his octopus body were littered with green blood marks. In the crash, his co-pilot had been killed on impact and Wacko had only survive by using him as a cushion to soften to the blow, but don't tell anyone, shh!

"…You won't believe what shit I've been through since I got on this damn planet!" Wacko scowled crossly through the loud speaker to his fellow comrades and the ponies watching.

Wacko then looked up and could see the princesses staring at his broken looking machine. "Hello toots," Wacko uttered coolly at them, before looking back at his fellow Martians, all of which were looking at him as if waiting for his orders…as they had no leader of course.

"Don't just stand there!" Wacko yelled through his loud speaker towards the Handling Machines below them. "Get up there and capture them!"

After a brief period of uncertainty about the idea, the spider like machines started climbing up the rock face to the princesses like…well…spiders.

The princesses could see what the Handling Machines were trying to achieve and immediately started to fire destructive magic bursts of energy at the scaling spider machines. Twilight and her friends saw this too and quickly began to make another attack on the Martians, as they were distracted from the Handling Machines scaling assault.

Just as they were being surrounded by the magic aura, Wacko saw what the ponies were planning and immediately started barking orders to the Martians in Fighting Machines. "Look out, behind you!"

Just as the other Fighting Machines were turning round to fire blindly, Wacko suddenly panicked when the magic started to get more powerful and feared that they would be killed from whatever magic it might've been. Without thinking, he barged his tripod forward and quickly fired at the ponies, but his heat ray was bent…

The heat ray suddenly erupted in a cloud of orange fire and sent the massive metal titan to be blasted backwards, only thankfully staying up thanks to an unfortunate tripod standing behind him and taking the brunt of the impact, seriously, this guy is fucking lucky. But that wasn't the end of it. The blast had also sent various debris of metal to flying all different directions, and some headed towards the Mane six. A large thirty-foot piece of the heat ray debris crashed down in front of them and the impact flung them back a few feet, knocking them out briefly.

Wacko's machine stumbled about for a bit like a giant drunken titan for a moment, then, the tripod fell forward, completely obliterated. Now there was no chance for the former Martian commander to have survived that misfire. During that moment when the tripod's heat ray had backed fired, it had caught the attention of the princesses who stopped to stare at the scene.

It proved to be a big mistake.

Without warning, a set of metal tentacles for the Handling Machines that were scaling the rock face, grabbed the princesses. They blindly fired powerful magic blasts from their horns in a last ditch attempt to fend of the invaders, despite all the magic they could pull off, it was no good as quickly they were chucked into the great metal baskets on the back of the machines and were sucked in with no chance of escape.

Against all the odds of anything and fanfiction terms, the Martians had captured Celestia, Luna and Cadence. From his vantage point, Shining Armor saw the shocking sight and barked out orders trying to use anything they could to fend of the Martians, alas, all proving useless. The Handling Machines quickly climbed up to where the Canterlot forces had been rallied too, and they were completely overwhelmed.

And in terms of fan service and any possibilities of a sequel, we draw a curtain over what might've happened.

Meanwhile, the holders of harmony were only coming around again thanks to Spike, who had jumped clear from the large metal piece that crashed down beside them. "Come on! We gotta get out off here!" Spike said to them as he tried waking them up. One by one, all six woke up, still groaning from earlier.

"What…where are the princesses?" Twilight questioned worriedly as she looked up to where the three alicorns where before.

Spike breathed heavily as he looked up to where Twilight was looking at, before looking back at the worried group. "The…The Martians got them…"

Gasps followed from the others. Fluttershy burst into tears, Rainbow Dash freaked out and the others just looked on speechless, none of them knowing what to do.

Only Spike seemed to the only one there that was aware of the Martians preparing to kill them. "I'm sorry…Canterlot's gone, we've gotta get out of Equestria with the others." He pointed over to mass of ponies, who would've saw the events from before, making a run out of the city.

Twilight felt her heart sink, they had defeated Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Changelings, saved the Crystal Empire…now they were defeated by none other than foul mouth, woman obsessed octopus like creatures known as Martians. How was this going to go down in history?

She looked back at both the Martians and her friends, still not getting anything for this. "…Let's go, NOW!"

Without even a moment's thought, they quickly turned round and joined the countless others, all running for their lives out of the city…and the attack Martians who were only now firing their heat rays again at buildings and turning them to rubble and fire.

Never before in the history of the world had a mass of ponies moved and suffered together, this wasn't a disciplined march; it was a stampede. Without order and without a goal, six million ponies all unarmed and untrained all driving headlong. It was the beginning of the rout of civilization, the massacre, of Ponykind. It was quite a strange sight though if a neutral was watching this battle, it seemed quite strange to be honest. One would first be looking at the Martians, half-mad with ecstasy. Then one would look to the Ponies, half-mad with terror.

Martian and Pony, two very different creatures, yet strangely, one and the same.

An hour later, Twilight and her friends had escaped with the countless others out of Canterlot carrying anything they had heading eastwards towards Filly Delphia. When the flag of Equestria was pulled down and the flag of Mars risen in it's place, nether any pony could bear looking back on the once great capital of Equestria.

The world was now heading towards Martian control, and as the many ponies walked sadly towards Filly Delphia and their only chance of surviving.
