Factory Invasion

The airship touched Down in a Mudokon war camp, Stranger saw Mudokons armed with Spears, Tomahawkers, and Mudarchers wielding a weapon that fires crystal shards at a high rate. He saw Grubb warriors with the Mudokons, they were ready to go into battle, catapults were being pushed by Both species to the front of the camp. Abe led him into a tent, inside was Frayda and her guard, along with Abe's friend Alf.

“Steef! You came I cant believe it you Came!” Frayda yelled happily. “I told them you'd come!”

“Yeah its. . . nice to see you too Frayda.” He grumbled. “What is the situation?”

“The Glukkons have reinforced their positions around the factory, the towers are armed with heavy cannon's and the guards are all armed with Snuzis and heavy Weapons. We were able to weaken the main gate and walls with the catapults but their airships keep coming to bring supplies. They attacked a few hours ago, it was a Vykers led assault with Sligs, Slogs, and big bro sligs. They didn't get far but we suffered losses. They were quickly resurrected by the Shamans.” Alf told him.

“Our catapults will be hitting them all night, to soften up the walls for our final invasion.” A Grub general said.

“We planned on attacking at dawn, but we will be ripped apart by their cannons and rockets. They need to be eliminated before the attack.” Abe said. “They started getting desperate on weapons, so they've made several turrets made of SnUzi's strapped together and put on a tripod. crude, but highly effective.”

“The search lights are on every night, we cant get it.” Alf said.

“Perhaps I can.” Stranger said. “Distract them with catapult fire and I will sneak in and destroy the turrets, when I give the signal move in.”

“We will ready the Catapults, they'll fire at dusk.“ Alf said, he and Abe left the tent.

“Steef, we brought the rest of your armor and repaired it.“ Frayda said. She led Stranger to his tent, inside there was a small bed and a large chest. Inside was the armor the Grubs made him to fight Sekto. When he emerged from the tent he was in full armor, his equine legs exposed. The Grubs bowed in respect and so did a couple of Mudokons.

As Alf had said, when dusk approached the catapults fired flaming stones at the factory.

When he arrived at the wall he saw search lights scanning the ground, Slig Soldiers followed by Vykers employees ran around the camp and onto the walls. He climbed the vines that were present on the concrete surface. When he was climbing he saw a Slig walking towards his location, he armed his crossbow with one fuzzle and fired it right by its feet.

The fuzzle attacked the patrolling slig, sending it into a frenzy of screams. “Get off me you furry little shi—” The slig bumped into something hard and breathing. It looked up to see stranger towering over him. “Uh oh”

Stranger hit him, hard enough to send him flying off his mechanical legs and propel the Slig over the wall to the ground bellow. He made his way towards the gate where he saw the SnuZi turrets manned by Guards. He loaded the crossbow with two boom bats and fired, one of the boom bats landed next to a Sligs feet. He looked down to investigate but it exploded before he could see it, the guard next to him was killed in the explosion. Stranger ran to the gate controls, pressing the buttons but they didn't respond to his commands. Catapult fire destroyed one of the nearby buildings and it damaged the nearby wall.

“Damn Grubs cant aim.” Stranger mumbled. The gate slowly opened. From the factory entrance Sligs, Vykers, and Interns poured out battle ready. Stranger loaded his Crossbow, one side super Stingbees and the other Boombat seekers. The security forces fired at him, making him flee for cover behind a metal crate. He fired three of the bats in crowd of security, causing them to scatter, using the stingbees he kills any who are not in cover.

“Open the garage doors, let out the tank!” A slig officer yells. A large garage door opens to reveal a massive, circular, one tracked tank with two large chain guns on each side. Stranger fired four bats at it with little effect, he fired his bees with little effect. The tank open fired, its heavy guns destroyed the cover stranger was behind, he ran trying to evade the destruction. Its guns made a sudden stop, he could hear the Slig inside it screaming and shouting in anger, giving him an advantage to run over to it.

He climbed onto its surface and forced open the hatch. The slig inside shot at him when the hatch was opened, stranger grabbed it by its mouth and threw it out of the tank, he climbed inside and closed the hatch. The inside wasn't built for him but he grabbed the controls and used the tanks mass and weapons to reign destruction on the security forces, a slig airship fired on him from the sky, stranger used the tanks guns to bring it down in a ball of flames, the massive factory doors closed shut, leaving some guards behind begging to be let back in.

The tanks engine revved as stranger used its mass to ram a massive hole into the gate, smashing all guards behind and in front of the door. Using the tanks guns to clear a path he made his way to a large open room with assortment of large spire like machines and electrodes all around the room, he shut off the tank and climbed out. The sounds of Mudokon and Grub warriors shouting and yelling filled the seemingly dead quiet halls.

“Nice work Steef, you sure showed those bastards!” Frayda said. She was followed by Abe, Alf, and an assortment of Mudokon and Grub soldiers. “What. . . is this?”

“A Portal, they made this to travel to another World. They took Munch through it.” Abe said. “A Liberated worker told us about it.”

“How do we use it?” Stranger asked.

“First we need to regroup, move all of our Warriors and equipment here and defend the Factory from the Glukkons.” Abe said. He and the others walked outside, leaving stranger to himself. Stranger looked at the portal, wondering what was on the other side.

Twilight raced around her castle, wounded guards lay in her library, those animals left massive marks and wounds, their teeth even went through their armor. The Non wounded guards warned everypony in Ponyville to stay inside until it is safe, their commander sent Celestia several letters asking for reinforcements and supplies.

“Princess Twilight, we are trying to get everypony inside but many want to know what is going on, many want to help defend the town. The ones that wanted to help took what they could use as weapons and are gathering by the town hall.” The commander said.

“I don't want anypony getting hurt, but they probably wont listen to me so I guess they can. Is Princess Celestisa coming?”

“No reply Princess, I hope she sends us more Guards.”

“Well I hope to, those things were called back by something, I couldn't fully see it though it looked like it had metal legs.”

“A master to those beasts?” The Commander said.

“Maybe, after the attack smoke began to rise from the forest, factory smoke.” She looked out her window to still see the smoke rising. She saw something running from the forest to Ponyville, it looked like a massive Crab with four claw like legs, a large upper body and a massive claw like head. “Commander there is something else coming!”

The guard commander ran outside, his two swords were levitating beside him. When he got outside the creature was eating apples from a stand when it noticed him, it let of several barks, its massive beak like mouth opened up to reveal several jagged and sharp teeth. A Long hiss and growl came from it, it charged the commander trying to knock him down with its massive head.

He jumped out of the way as it passed, the creature turned around and charged him again, this time knocking him down, the massive monster tried to impale him with its sharp beak, but the commander used his magic to launch it off. The creature was sent flying across the street and into a fountain, it shattered the statue and slowly and shakily stood up and roared once more before charging at him again, when it opened its mouth he launched his sword at it, the sword went into its mouth and broke out the other side, the creature fell to the ground, dead before it his the ground. He looked at the large crab like creature, he picked up the blood stained sword and cleaned it in the fountains water.

“Is it dead?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, we need to wall up the town, to make sure they do not get in.”

“Alright, I'll go use magic to make it.” She ran to the bridge. Using her magic to rip several trees out of the forest and place them in the ground to form a wall all around the town.

Stranger watched as Mudokons and Grubs readied their weapons and supplies, ready to cross through the portal.

“They will be expecting us you know?” Stranger told Abe. “Their guns will cut us down when we step through.”

“That's why we will be sent to a different location, away from their new factory. I didn't tell you about their other prisoners did I?”

“No, who are they?”

“Along with Munch they have some of your kind.” Stranger looked at Abe with a surprised look.

“They have Steefs with them? How many?!”

“About fifty, though they are females, and Children, few adult males.”

“Why didn't you tell me before!”

“I didn't know this until I found the manifest. They are testing new products and drugs on them, forcing them into a slave like state.”

Stranger Growled at this, not knowing how many were left, he needed to save them. “I will go through first, and find them.”

“Abe, the Portal is open. Go on through.” Stranger walked to the large blue portal, on the other side he saw nothing but trees. He stepped through.
