Equestria has been targeted for extermination by an army of machines. Nothing will survive. But that doesn't mean good things can't happen first.

Destination Located.

ENGAGED

''IC-16301632642040, Activate thrusters. Destination Located.''

''Activated, LC-567.'' CC-16301632642040 Beeped. ''Entering atmosphere now.''

The dashboard IC-16301632642040 was typing at brought up a message. LANDING IN EST 3.5 SECONDS.

The Frigate dropped through the sky like lead, but somehow still landed perfectly. The thrusters ceased over the burnt earth below them. Large doors opened on the sides of the ship, and about a thousand robots marched out of the doors in formation, and then waited silently. A locater class robot then arrived, and stood at the head of the army.

''Row 1, activate shields.'' The locater whirred.

At his command, 999 robots raised some sort of energy shield. One stood there, malfunctioning.

''CC-295726, please deactivate yourself.'' Ordered the Locater.

CC-295726 then ripped off his arm, and clubbed his head in with it.

The Locater then scanned for the nearest sentient civilization.

''North, Forwards.''

The army of machines then marched off, entering the forest ahead of them.

Detected Lifeforms.

ENGAGED

''North, Ri-'' ''Life Form detected. 3 CC's, follow me.'' Said the Locater.

3 Combat Classes then followed him through the foliage, and came up upon a primitive hut. Whatever species that made it was somewhat intelligent, as the hut had a door. They then kicked down the door, and entered. They then found the creature, and questioned it. It was startled at first, but they managed to restrain it.

''Life Form, what is your species titled?'' Asked the Locater.

It responded in some sort of gibberish, and the Locater could not translate it to any known language.

''The Lifeform is not essential.'' ''Execute it.'' Commanded the Locater.

Two of the Combat Classes broke its limbs, and they all pulled a Laser Rifle off of their back, and opened fire. The Life form was dead.

''Return to Formation, West.''

They then continued through the forest, and eventually made it through. They saw some sort of settlement. As the Locater increased the magnification on his binoculars, he saw many life forms, similar the one he found before going about what seemed to be normal life. As he looked up, he saw a large city on the mountain. It looked of some sort of significance. They would head there, after they had visited the settlement. He decided to only take ten Combat Classes with him.

They began to enter the town, but a horned life form approached them. It began speaking the same sort of nonsense the other life form spoke to them earlier, but with an excited tone to it.

''Life form, we cannot understand.'' ''Please try again.''  asked the Locater.

The life form seemed irritated. It's horn then lit up, and some sort of energy passed over the group.

''Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Welcome to Ponyville. And you are?'' Greeted Twilight Sparkle, seemingly happy.
