Mechwarrior: Steel Beast of Equestria

MECHWARRIOR: STEEL BEAST of EQUESTRIA

By: AtlasWarlord

All Is Calm

The Universe is complicated. It can be described as an vast and open, never ending realm where every living organism in existence, has been cradled. But I see it as a cosmic sandbox were forces invisible to the naked eye, control our everyday life. Filled with trillions of stars and galaxies, we may never fully comprehend its majesty. But for a being of my seemingly infinite knowledge, Not even i fully know what lies out there. I can only dream that some day my beloved race would someday find mirroring life among the stars. But we all know the old saying, "Be careful of what you wish for"

The morning came with out a hint of distress. the towns folk strolled the streets of Ponyville happily, and the market filled with the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Fillies and colts played on the side of the road as cabs (carts) filled with goods from all over, pass by. As Usual, Sugar cube corner was filled with the orthodox morning crowd  . Here we see many mares and stallions, enjoying  their meals and having friendly conversa-

"Hi There!!!" A pink energetic pony waved at you, seemingly breaking the fourth wall.

"Pinkiepie...? "A cyan colored Pegasus said from the next table over "who are you talking too?" Rainbow Dash asked with a look of concern on her face.

"I'm talking to the Bronies!" Pinkiepie answered joyfully. The Pegasus shrugged. "just crazy pinkiepie talk as usual..."

As the morning passed the towns streets settled. Most of the morning rush had ended so the streets were less packed and and more accessible. The unusually placed tree  that sat in the middle of a street circle surrounded by buildings, was the towns library. The inhabitants were none other than Twilight Sparkle and her dragon assistant Spike. The library was occupied by a handful ponies, mostly older colts and fillies studying for the Equestrian Standardized Tests or EST's for short. but other than that, the day had been rather slow. Twilight was over by the study area, helping a light brown pony look for a book stating a Theory of the space-time continuum. Twilight turned and called for her assistant.

"Spike, can you go to the philosophical science section and find a book called " Theory of Time" by Morgan hoofman?" Twilight asked her dragon assistant. "Sure thing Twilight." The purple Dragon answered with a smile.

As asked, Spike Returned with the book on his back. Due to the book being larger than his body, Spike was struggling just to stand up. Twilight's horn glowed as she used her magic to lift the book off of Spike's back.

"Thanks spike" Twilight said as she handed the quite pleased Doctor his book. "Phew.... No... Problem... Twilight," Spike said as he tried to catch his breath.

As the day turned into night the clientele of the library decreased until it was just Twilight and spike. Twilight was laying on lounge couch in the now abandoned study area, Happily reading a book, While spike was writing about rarity in his diary. DING DONG! The grandfather clock in the middle of the lobby rang indicating nine-o-clock. Twilight let out a long yawn, and spike followed.

Twilight looked at the clock. "Wow, is it that late already?"

She looked over at spike who had already started doze off, It being past his bed time. Twilight placed the bookmark in her book and got up from the couch.

"Common Spike time for bed." She look again at spike to see he had fallen asleep in the time span of three seconds, that had to be a world record.

she giggled at how cute he looked when he fell asleep like that and used her magic to lift him on to his back. As she trotted up stairs she giggled some more as spike moaned in his sleep.

"Rarity....." Spike said in his sleep. "Heh... that's my spike," Twilight responded.

As Twilight entered her room she gently placed Spike in his basket and tucked him in, planting a small motherly kiss on his forehead.

"Good night Spike," a smile spread across spikes tiny face.

Twilight smiled and climbed into her own bed and blew out the candle lighting the room. Nothing but complete silence followed, not a sound other that the gentle breeze from the outside. Little did they know, that there beautiful planet was being scrutinized buy creatures with envious eyes, eons more advanced than the inferior pony race. in the next few days Equestria would become a major turning point in a centuries long war.

The sun shined down on the massive city of New Avalon. New Avalon was colonized by human settlers in early 2317, the federation then grew from there. It was once known as the most powerful empire in the galaxy, but those were more prosperous times. War had dawned upon them at the turn of the new millennium as the Draconis Combine destroyed colony after colony. since then the Federation has been losing ground fast, just recently a major mining colony on Yearta-965  was destroyed by the Combine. the loss of Yearta had stunted the Federation industries and weapon output. When all hope seemed lost and the government was about to submit terms of an surrender agreement, a light had unveiled it self in the darkness. This light was E-036a a small planet in the middle of E-036 system. What made E-036a unique is that its star orbits the planet. This causes the perfect conditions for mineral growth of Tungsten carbide and Uranium. And thus the Federation sent 45 drops-ships, caring tones of heavy equipment and materials in hopes of achieving a strategic foot hold on the planet.

It was midnight when the first ship arrived. The massive blast from its engines cast an glow over the everfree Forrest. As the ship neared the ground it deployed its landing gear. The massive landing gear of the ship crushed all that was unlucky enough to be caught in its path, as the ship landed. The surrounding trees  caught fire as the flames from the decent engines flooded out of the engine nozzles, creating a massive smoke tower that could be seen from miles. as the ship touched down, a Chimera that was frightened by the blast of the ships engines, pounced out a nearby bush. A small laser turret on the side of the ship took notice, but dose not react. The Chimera stared menacingly at the ships front landing gear. Frightened by the size and sounds of the ship, the Chimera jumped at the massive landing gear, with its fangs and claws prepped to tare into this strange creatures metallic skin. The laser turret immediately aimed its barrel at the Chimera and fired, as a red flash of plasma sliced through the Chimeras body. The Chimera roared in pain as its intestines where fried by the plasma bolt.  The creature landed on the ground with a thud, with a large hole going clean through its lower torso. The laser turret remained aimed at the now dead Chimera, waiting for any further response of aggression. Once it was sure that the poor creature was dead it swiveled back into its idle position.
