Me,Pitch Black,general of the Equestrian Royal Army.I am a dark grey peagasus with a black mane and tail.The EQRA is under my rule,i made it to protect Equestria from dangers since i came from a country with war.My army has fought in the Crystal war against Sombra and the Nuclear warfare against some morons that took over our facility,but these stories can wait.I protect Equestria aside from the Lunanian Airforce.Thay have weapons too but we have tech so advance we even made magnetic gloves fo us to hold the guns we carry.Most ponies think i can hold the balance of peace and war in Equestria before it all went to hell.It started not long ago....

Me and my group were heading back to Henderson Airforce base from Appleloosa after taking care of a rogue group of ponies protesting against us when an object from space crashed and made a crater 200 yards from us."Hold position",i told my group.I got a magnetic glove and put it on so i can use an M16A2 assault rifle.I got out of the truck i was in and tried to look at the crater.Then,a machine about 200 meters in height stood up from the crator with four enormous legs and shot a powerfull laser at a tuck killing 2 of my troops that were inside.We immidiately started shooting the machine but it was not enough.The machine looked like it took time to recharge its weapon after firing for some time.I immidiately took my radio from the saddle bag i was wearing and called Henderson Airforce Base."Henderson Airforce Base,identify",it said."This is Pitch Black 229 7703,authanticate SR-71 290,need Raptors on stations now"!i said.

"RQ-4 Global Hawk,ETA 30 seaconds",they said as a drone flew over head.The radio rolled back:"what the hell is that thing"?."Unknown sir i dont know sir if you've seen this contraption anywhere near Equestria",i said.

"Roll in strike package Victor on unknown  target at time fifteen hundred hours scramble all raptors within 3 miles of their position",they said."Our position is ○13.581921 latitude -136.133594 longitude,Raptors,do you copy"?i asked."Confirmed visual on frendlies,engaging hostile",they said releasing the missiles under them as they flew past.The machine fell.We held our fire.Then,the machine stood up and decintegrated one of my allies as i saw them being turned to bones."No way that thing is still livin,O.S.C.A.R(Orbital Space Canon Ariel Rod),you are clear to engage,cut the rod",i said contacting a space staion for an orbital bombardment.Then,an object about three meters wide flew from space and hit the machine penetrating it and blowing it to kingdomcome."Our works done here boys,bring in a huey and bring us home",i said.A choper came over us and landed.We got in and flew from the dessert."What are we gonna do about the debrise around here sir,if the citizens find out what heapond here they will ask for an explanation",an officer asked me as i took off my gloves."The sand will cover them up,then they wont know",i said."Okey,"he replied.

15 minuets later...

The huey pulled over and landed at Henderson Airforce base and we got out.I walked into an underground bunker wich lead to the head moniter room."Good afternoon general",an earth pony said to me as i entered the room."Did you get any pictures of that thing sergent Warden"?i asked back."Yes,the pictures taken were from the Raptors wich had inflight recording systems sir",he replied."I requested for the Raptors to open fire on that thing.What ammunitions were they using"?i asked back."The pilots were using our latest incendiary A.T.B.M's(Anti Tank Building Missile)",he replied.He gave me a set of photos of the machine after being hit by the raptors."Oh shit,the missiles didin't even penetrate the hull of that thing.If there are more we need to use O.S.C.A.R more often,or either we may even need to use the prototype weapon A.R.I.Z.O.N.A (Anti Riot Incendiary Zone Organisation Naval Artilery)",i warned."Sir,we have incoming at mach 9 heading North West to Manehatten",one of the moniters told me."Manehatten has too many obstacles,we cant use O.S.C.A.R or even the A.R.I.Z.O.N.A.,we have to destroy it with infantry,Warden,make sure the pelicans are fully refueld,i have to take it myself,if the public askes what heapond,just tell them we had a experimental robot that went off the hook,or else Equestria will announce state of emergency and every poney will be in panic mod.I will be on a mission to Manehatten",i said.
