  "So, what should be our next plan of action?" The Space Marine asked. Serrus and the other members of command had gathered in the briefing room to discuss the next plan of action.

  "I say that we send in a single squad of Astartes, plus some supplies to set up a base of operations. Then, we can bring in someone to be an ambassador for the humans down below. Do you agree?" Serrus asked.

  "I have calculated the possibilities in your plan, captain, and I agree. Sargeant, do you agree?" Magos Merrsiun of the Mechanicum answered. The Blood Angel sargeant studied the table for a bit.

  "I agree. I will assign a squad to go to the surface. We should drop in during the night, when we are concealed in the darkness.We should then land somewhere near civilization so we can communicate efficiently. I believe I know just who to send in." He said after a while.

  "Very well then. I will await your squad." Serrus said, and departed.

====================

Somewhere in the Equestrian badlands

  "Quantum gate jump successful. I am now scanning the surroundings for Mass deposits." Captain Errens said, and activated the ACU's sensors. The scan showed multiple amounts of mass deposits all over the desert.

"Sir, there are many mass deposits in the current vincinity. I am now beginning to construct a base." Errens said, and began placing mass extractors above the areas in which there were deposits. After a while he had gotten a working command base, and had begun to construct some scout units to move around the area.

  "Andrew, Selena, you are fit to deploy. My base is set up." He said, and the ground in front of him exploded as two ACU'S  stepped out onto the desert.

===============

Canterlot

  "Princess Celestia, we came as fast as we could." Twilight said as she and her friends burst into the main hall of the princess's castle.

  "Twilight, and the rest. I am glad that you arrived. We have mustered the guard and have deployed them across Equestria, to all the towns. If anything should happen, they will report to Shining Armour." Celestia told them.

  "Um, your majesty, just what exactly is happening?" Rarity asked. The princess regarded her.

  "Twilight has not told you? Well, to put things short, we believe that we may be facing aliens, and a possible invasion." Celestia told them. Everyponies mouths dropped to the floor, but jumped back up as the mane six began to ask questions.

Somewhere in The Equestrian Badlands

  "Jeez, I wonder why they sent us here?" One of the other guards asked.

   "Princess Celestia herself said that we may be facing a possible invasion, and she wants us to be here to protect the civilians, as well as report our findings to captain Armour. Now, hush up and keep walking." The captain of the squad answered, and the rest of them continued onwards, not knowing what to expect. Suddeney, the quiet of the land was broken by a harsh noise, a sort of prolonged growl that hung in the air.

  "What in Celestia's  name is that?" One guard asked, tightening his grip on his spear.

  "Group formation! Keep your eyes open!" The captain barked, and the squad automatically bunched up, holding they're spears in front of them.

The noise continued to get louder and louder as whatever was making that noise came closer. Suddenely, a big, metal box on strange wheels rolled out of nowhere.

  "What is that thing?" Someone asked.

  "It looks like some sort of armored carriage. Prepare for combat!" The captain barked.

=============

  "Andrew, Selena, one of my scouts have detected some natives nearby. They are lightly armoured, and have only spears. They appear to be equine in form. What should we do?" Errens asked.

  "I say we bring them back, for questioning about the seraphim." Selena answered. "I agree." Andrew said. Very well. I will get the scout to bring them back to base." Errens said, and activated a communications device, which he then linked to the scout's broadcast system.

========

  "Attention, equines. I doubt you can understand me, but I would ask of you to please follow me to the base for some questions. Afterwards, you will be free to go." The metal carriage blared.

  "Why should we?! We don't even know what you are!" One of the guards yelled at the thing.

  "Well, that helps that they can understand us, and talk too. Please follow me. I promise that you will not be harmed if you do, unless you show any aggressive actions. Now, please follow." The carriage answered.

   "Fine! We will follow!" The captain answered. The other guards looked at him.

  "If we follow it back to its base, we can gain some valuable Intel for Shining Armour." The captain explained, and the others nodded in agreement.

  "Ok then, please follow me." The carriage turned around, and began moving back to where it came from. The small guard squad followed, they're spears held tight.

Later

  When they arrived, they were amazed at what they saw. An entire fortress of metal had been constructed, with a mix of different types of buildings all built around d eachother. Giant buildings with tubes sticking out in front stood guard in front of giant walls. Three giant metal bipedal creatures walked around, occasionally creating a building out of nothing. But one of them was walking over to the group. Each step of the monstrosity shook the earth, and it's glowing eyes looked like the creature was considering wether or not to step on them. Suddenely, a door in its boot opened, and a bipedal creature that was clearly made of flesh stepped out. The person looked like a bald ape, with hair appearing only on its head. it's eyes examined them, and then it spoke.

  "Follow me." It said, and walked back into the giant. The guards nervously looked at each other, then followed the person into the giant.

====================

Everfree Forest, 12 at night

  When the Thunderhawk landed, the squad of marines jumped out, fanning out across the clearing. Their Bolters looking out in front of them, they advanced, searching the forest for signs of movement.

  "All clear on my end." Battle brother Arigon called into the vox.

  "Same here." Brother Fellius repeated.

  "All clear. Setting up heavy weapons." Brother Carrion said.

  "Good. Set up a defence line around the perimeter." Captain Meridion ordered. Each Marine began to set up.

  "Apothecary Gordion, what do your readings on the air here say?" The captain asked. The Apothecary looked up.

  "The air here is much more cleaner than Holy Terra, and is safe to breath." He stated. The captain nodded, and took his helmet off.

  "Tell the men to begin setting up the base." He ordered. The apothecary nodded, then ran off to the Thunderhawk as another ship landed.

=========

Blood Angel ship

  "Captain, we detected a influx of energy on the planets surface. We believe  that it renders as a teleport flare, but the readings are different." One of the Servitors told him.

  "Let the Magos take a look." Serrus said, and the adept took a look at the Servitors screen.

  "It is right. Something big was teleported  down, but with a different type of technology from what we use. It is abnormal." The adept said after scanning the screen.

  "Well then. Scan the area for any ships. We are not alone. I want our friends below to know of this as well." Serrus ordered.

  "Yes, my lord. Beginning scan now." The Servitors all said in eerie unision.

======================

UEF, Cybran, and Aeon Coalition base.

  "So, what are you?" One of the guards asked.

   "Me? I'm commander Errens of the United Earth Federation, and it is our job to unite humanity once more." The commander answered. Before they could ask him another question, he asked his first one.

   "But what are you? You seem equine in form, but yet some have wings, whilst others have horns, much like the mythical unicorns and pegasi of Ancient Greece." He asked. They stared at him, mostly because he called them a myth.

  "Well, commander, we do indeed have unicorns and pegasi here In our world, and yes, some of my squad mates are some of them. We, as a whole, use the term Pony for our race. There are three types of ponies in this world: Earth Pony, Pegasus, and Unicorn. There are, however, four princess's who are Alicorns, which are a combination of the three types. Now then, why are you here? Our world does not have any human residents, so what buisness do you have here?" The captain asked.

  "That one is easy. My species have recently fought- and won, a war with another species called the Seraphim. They had this idea of killing off my species as a whole, but we managed to stop them, and are now hunting down the remainders. We cannot let them rebuild." Errens replied.

  "So, what are these metal things in this area?" One of the guards asked.

  "Well, the unit we are in right now is called the Armoured Command Unit, or ACU for short. It can deploy onto a world, and build an entire base and army on the fly. Makes it easier to transport. How technologically advanced are you ponies?" Errens answered.

  "Well, compared to you, we are in the primal age I'm guessing. We use spears and magic as weapons, have trains, and are a peaceful species. We have been in a few wars, but those were mostly territorial." The captain answered.

   "I'd say somewhat between primal and industrial age. So, why were you out here?" Errens asked.

  "We have orders from Princess Celestia to defend our towns from something, and report any unusual activity to our superior officer, captain Shining armour." The captain answered.

  "How does your machine work, anyways?" One of the guards asked.

   "I guess I could show you." Errens said, pondering.

  "Sure, why not. Follow me. I'm about to show you how an ACU works." Errens said after a second. The ponies eagerly followed, hoping to learn something new.

Later

  "So, this is the control center. Computer, load up the tactical image." Errens said, seating himself into position. The guards looked up as the screen blinked into life, showing the current area.

  "This is a view of the land. The ACU can control an entire army with this. It enables me to see the battlefield at all times. The area you can see is land we discovered. The black areas are undiscovered territory." Errens zoomed in onto the ACU.

   "This is us. I can click on spot for a selected us it to move to. Watch." Errens clicked a location outside of the base, and the ACU walked over to that spot. They could feel the machine moving under them.

  "The ACU also has the ability to attack or defend if necessary. The right arm of the ACU fires a laser beam that can be overcharged to do overwhelming damage to an opponent. Watch." Suddenely, the ACU on screen shot a small laser into the ground.

  "And here's an overcharge." Suddenely, the ACU fired a massive energy blast, turning the ground below black.

  "The ACU has the ability to construct buildings. As seen up above, I will build some point defence turrets over here, where there is an opening in our defensive line." He then pressed a few buttons, and the ACU began to construct a few turrets.

  "And tada! Instant defence! Now then, I will let you return to your homes." Errens said, and led them out of the ACU. After they left, the other commanders began to ask him some questions.

  "Did you learn anything, or did you explain your entire ability to the aliens?" Selena asked.

  "I told them some things so they could learn to trust us. Anyways, I planted a tracing device upon one of them. Now, I can gain intelligence on the area that they walk around in. They are like scouts for us now. How are the gunships doing?" Errens answered.

  "Good. Whatever flew onto to this world will have to be careful in the air now, what with all the ASF's you made." Selena said.

  "Good. I will send them out to scout immediately." Errens told them.
