Original song plan was the song "hunger" I know it from the 1986 transformers movie, but there was no mecha amv to it.

Hunger

In small settlement of Abyssinian refugees, in western Equestria. The towering machine with a beetle like shape looked over a pagoda in which stood a throne, on which a anthro mare, queen Chrysalis sat, in her old armor remade to fit her new and very curvy and very enjoyable body. All around her was ruins smashed or burned homes and shops. The Abyssinians themselves bowed and worshiped at her hooves all enthralled to her power as she feeds on their love for their new ruler.

Beeping came from a device on her hip. She casual pulled if free of her belt and read the screen.

to Madam Butterfly from the Mistress.

You have been given orders to raze Ponyville to the ground take prisoners as you like. Destroy captured mobile weapons both functional and nonfunctional. You are free to do whatever you want to the princess and her friends. Make the town a example. Two hundred infantry will be sent to assist you, may keep them.

She typed a simple response.

With pleasure~

She then cleared the screen and put the device back on her hip. "Oh my darlings!" She called getting her thralls to raise their heads. "Looks like it's time to have some fun with my sweet Stag Beetle. So hurry, arm yourselves, and we march to meet the rest of our new family members, and then to sack Ponyville!" The cheers of the hypnotized fools filled the air. As she looked to her Stag Beetle. The three eyes moved to look at her. In its mind the former human was broken. They had been released to stage one locks but Chrysalis had been abusive knowing what the machine was, with honeyed words, changing its name and having it murder small towns outside Equestria and refugees from the storm king’s invasions. Using the survivors as meat shields in the next attack. She had succeeded in carefully breaking down and remaking him in to a very loyal pet killing machine. He even believed that he was never anything more than what he is now. "Hear that my Stag Beetle. You get to serve your Queen again."

The machine knelt down hand open as did the hatch. "I am built to serve. My Queen." Came deep heavy rumble of its voice.

Meanwhile in Twilight's castle.

"So let me get this straight after finding out the portal transformation didn't work on Trixie. The two of you took a public bus to the stop closest to Applejack's house, walked to it, to pick up your car, then took it to the mall, to go to a sit down dinner that pinkie worked at and ordered meat?" Asked Twilight her hair frizzing.

"Well yeah that's what we did first then we did some shopping with Rarity, Sour Sweet and the other Trixie before coming back." Said Sunset as if it was no big deal.

"And you don't see the problem?" Shouted Twilight.

Sunset was smiling she did, oh she did, but seeing Twilight mane now on fire was too funny. "Are you sure your not Celestia's daughter you look like her when your mad." Said Sunset.

That was it she surged with magic her flaming mane and tail scorched the ceiling then she dropped to the floor smoking. "I can’t even..."

Sunset was laughing her tail off holding her iPhone in her magic. "I can't wait to show human Twilight this."

From their shared cover behind a bookcase Trixie and Starlight stared in shock.

"Did you know she could do that?" Asked Trixie

"No and I live with her, stole her cutie mark and tried to erase her friendship. She never got this freaked." Said Starlight.

"And Sunset just sat there like it was nothing." Said Trixie.

"So yeah with all the magic craziness. Yeah no big deal." Said Sunset.

"Fine but why did you bring them back?!" Said Twilight pointing at the Dazzlings looking out from under a desk, without their magic they were about the size of big Mac and had small divots where their gems had been.

"What they lost their powers and had been living on the streets Trixie thought we should give them a second chance. After all aren't we all about redemption?" Said Sunset.

"Please don't toss us back on the streets. I can cook." Said Sonata doing her best begging cute puppy dog pout.

"I can do organization and sewing." Said Adagio.

"I can dance and hurt people." Said Aria prompting face hooves of her sisters.

"Great now you did it." Said Adagio.

"Relax you can stay I'll be able to keep a eye on you three at least, and spike could use some help around the castle." Said Twilight.

"You mean it? Like for realsies" said Sonata.

Twilight rolled her eyes and said. "Yes for realsies Sonata but you three will have to work no free rides."

"Yay." Shouted Sonata doing a backflip as she slid out of hiding and then hugged Twilight.

Sunset chuckled "She always this huggy?"

Aria sighs, "Yes sadly. She always been like that."

"Even when we were pups. She insisted on snuggling up when we sleep, or just wanted to hug Aria when ever she was frowning." Said Adagio.

"But Aria is always frowning." Said Sunset.

"I know so Sonata always hugging her." Said Adagio.

A moment later Sonata tackle hugged Aria. "Ari we got a home again! Smile! We even work for a princess! Yay!"

"Get off me Sonata! Or I'll rip your fins off!" Shouted Aria.

The next day Aria sat next to Twilight in a suit of armor with a trident (something she insisted on) in her hooves. Twilight's friends looked from her to Twilight. "So what we miss last few days?" Asked Rainbow.

"Short version, Trixie has a giant robot that was once a person in another world that someone abducted and made in to said robot. Trixie is now my guard captain, and has defeated another pony in a giant robot. To pilot said robots ponies get permanently transformed into something a mix between human and pony and gain a craving for meat. Witch Sunset also likes from her time as a human so she and Trixie went on a trip through the mirror to go out to eat. While on that trip they found the sirens also known as the dazzlings, who lost their powers, and where now homeless on the streets. They brought them back with a offer of a chance to redeem themselves. Now Aria serves as a guard under Trixie's command, Sonata helps spike in the kitchen and Adagio is well, my librarian and secretary, plus she says she can sow so I'll have her help you if need it Rarity." Twilight managed that in one breath.

Aria chuckled a little at the the info dump.

"Twi' are you ok? You seem stressed." Asked AJ.

"That's because she is. Now that we know what the unscheduled meteorites are, she has been gathering reports of attacks by giant demons, iron monsters, and anything over thirty feet with glowing eyes. Starswirl and his group have been running all over gathering the reports and witness testimony and sending it her. Adagio is having nightmares of some of what has been reported." Said Aria who looked at the princess. "I still think we should start handing out rpgs or at least cannons."

"No we are not hoofing out human weapons. The time it take to modify them for pony use alone, plus production time, costs, and training. It's just not plausible." Said Twilight.

"And infantry with cross bows and spears against something that has attack range measured in miles is?" Asked Aria.

"I kind of agree with the cranky fish mare on this one Twilight. I saw the damage to the Everfree forest Trixie and that mad mare that attacked you did. I don't think the guard can handle one of those things. Not to mention ten of them." Said Rainbow.

"That's why Captain Trixie Lulamoon has been focusing on training to capture or disable the machine so we can rescue the person imprisoned in it and get them to help." Said Twilight

"Yet you want to keep them on stage one shackles." Said Trixie as she walked in her fur matted in sweat her sports bar and shorts dark from it, a towel over her shoulders. "Dark Moon said to say your a dick waffle by the way and that was the nicest of what he called you." She leaned on Twilight's throne.

"How was your training session?" Twilight asked.

"I hate snipers, but I'm getting better at flight maneuvers, still no luck at capturing suits, but now I can shoot them down regularly. Started training with the dragon arm. That thing is evil." Said Trixie.

"Why?"Asked Fluttershy.

"Its white hot flames can also burn on the water. Nasty thing is meant to melt armor, burn buildings and roast infantry." Said Trixie blinked at Fluttershy's face. "Oh right sorry for the mental images."

"N-no I did ask. I'm going to go use the little fillies room." Said Fluttershy

"I'll come hold your hair back darling." Said Rarity following her out.

Outside Sunset and Starlight were washing the Dark Moon and checking for any rodents trying to nest in his joints.

"Talk about a bad hand. So you enjoying the wash?" Asked Starlight.

"Clean armor boosts morale of pilots and allied units." Said Dark Moon but in his head 'I never imagined my fantasy of girls washing my body would come to life like this. Kind of wish Trixie was out here all wet.'

"Your wishing we had bodies like Trixie dose right now aren't you?" Asked Sunset.

"The offered idea is not an unpleasant prospect." Answered Dark Moon. While in his mind 'Yes! Yes I would. I'd also like to be a normal person again and in a hot tub with them... fuck I can't even wack off any more.'

Sunset and Starlight giggled. Starlight glanced over to left as she was rinsing a sponge and gasped. "That's Commander Tempest's airship and it's been damaged! I got to get Twilight!" Said Starlight.

"Commander Tempest?" Asked Sunset looking up at the Dark Moon whose eye was looking at the airship with smoke trailing behind it.

' Why do I have a bad feeling, I'm going to be in a lot of pain really, really soon.' Dark thought as he zoomed in on the approaching airship.

Several minutes later Tempest stood at the map table her armor was dented and her mane singed. "Your majesty I was worried I was too late when I saw the metal giant. But it seems as before I underestimated you." Said Tempest.

"I wish I could take credit, but it is Captain Lulamoon who defeated the one metal giant and pilots the one called Dark Moon you saw outside." Said Twilight.

"I see looks like you actually have guards now. Or two guards at least." She eyes Aria and Trixie up and down. One in armor the other in a stage outfit.

"Trixie sort of fell in to the role." Said Trixie with a smug smile.

"It was this or a maid dress. I'd rather have the armor." Said Aria

"So what happened?" Asked Twilight.

"A giant metal beetle has been attacking refugee settlements all over. I was looking to stop it when it found me with a army five hundred strong. We tried to attack it but it was to powerful. We are lucky we escaped with our lives. But that's not what's important that monster and it's army are heading this way! They are on a direct path to Ponyville!" Said Tempest.

"Dark Moon is so not going to be happy to hear that. How long?" Said Trixie

"Four maybe five days march from here." Said Tempest.

The room went silent. "Five days?" Said Twilight after the shock set in.

Sunset zapped the cutie map with her horn and after a few moment a glowing triangle appeared on the map. "I cast a spell to mark a large gathering of negative energy and the magic signature of a mobile suit. Oh by the way that's what all the machines are mobile suits. At least that what Dark Moon has said."

" That's a lot closer than we thought looks like we got four days at best. How much can he tell us about others mobile suits?" Asked Twilight

"Without visual identification he cannot give us any data on the suits. and even then that Ball ground type was something new to him. What he called a custom job. So he couldn't give exact data. That said, he said from what he knows there are over a hundred Zeon suits and about the same of federation. So without seeing other factions he can give us the data for around two hundred plus suits. He does know of more but the locks keep him from telling or showing me." Said Trixie she looked at the map worried.

Tempest sighed "That is some good news. If you can hold the bug off I'm sure the royal guard can handle the troops even if they have some magic on them."

"What you mean magic?" Asked Starlight

"Well all there eyes had this sick green glow to them." Said Tempest.

"Chrysalis!" Shouted Twilight and her friends.

"Who?" Asked Tempest and Aria.

"Chrysalis was the queen of the changelings before Thorax deposed her with the help of Trixie, Starlight and Discord. We been hunting her ever since. I guess she cut a deal with whoever is behind this. Applejack you and the girls handle the town's evacuation any one that refuses to leave get them in to the school and the castle. If anyone complains tell them it's a royal order in time of emergency. Aria give tempest a weapon you two Starlight and Sunset will be our main defence against the infantry." Said Twilight taking charge

"What just us? What about your guard?" Asked Tempest.

"Aria and Trixie are it Sunset and Starlight are two most powerful casters besides myself and I will be maintaining a multi layered magical shield over the castle and school to stop the high velocity projectiles and energy beams. So I will not be able to fight." Said Twilight

"I'll get my sisters too. Adagio and Sonata may not act like it but they can fight too. Besides a packs of hippocampus are not called riots for nothing." Said Aria.

"I'll inform Dark Moon of the plan. Then I'll start training for a one on one with a giant bug. Does he have a simulation for that?" Said Trixie as she walked off.

"Why do you need us to fight if you will have a shield up?"Asked Tempest.

"Cause it's to stop the their giant weapons the infantry will be able to walk right through it so I'm counting on you and all my other friends to defend those that can't or won't leave the town before the her army gets here!" Said Twilight.

"Ok then Aria I need a muzzle sword and if you have those petrifier orbs." Said Tempest

"Those the glowing black green glass balls in the box labeled handle with care magic hazard?" Asked Aria as she lead Tempest off.

"Yes. That sounds like them I left the supply of them I had with the princesses after-" Tempest started to tell Aria as they went to arm up.

2 days to second battle of Ponyville.

"Dark Moon how are you holding up?" Asked Trixie as she did a flight patrol over Ponyville.

This is going to be a massacre five hundred mixed infantry supported by any type of mobile suit will level this town. he thought but the verbal response was. "The strategy for the coming battle is not ideal. This suit is built for rapid air assault not static defense."

"To bad I can't do the mind link spell while piloting." Said Trixie.

"Keep distractions to minimum while operating the mobile suit." Said the Dark Moon

"What? Scarred I'll crash you?" Asked Trixie

"Based on Simulator results and combat record. It is a likely possibility." Answered Dark Moon.

Trixie frowned and said "No wax job after your wash, till after the battle."

'I can't believe, that I'm in a situation where not getting a wax job is a punishment. Ok it's official fuck you multiverse!'

Meanwhile at the school. "No you can't fight alongside us." Rainbow Dash said in her wonderbolt flight suit and the actual combat armor something both her and thunder lane never thought they would wear. All the wonderbolt cadets, reservists and active members in the town where in the kit. She was talking to the students that were either refusing to to leave or who's train would take them too close to the advancing army.

"But Rainbow Dash we want to help." Said Scootaloo Unfortunately this included the C.M.C. and some of the more dedicated students of friendship.

"Look we can't have you fighting out there. Any of you. Your families would throw a fit.... ok well maybe not Smolder's but this is not a game or a field trip. Chrysalis is coming with a giant robot and a army of mind controlled creatures to kill and enslave this whole town." Said Rainbow Dash..

"Which is why Twilight set me down with these for them." Said Sonata as she slither floated in with a load of spears, cross bows and bolt quivers and some light armor and helmets. "She knows you all will want to help so your given a important job."

"They are?" Asked Rainbow Dash

"We are?" Asked the group of troublemakers.

"Yep your the last line of defence for everyone that can't or won't fight. So if any of the glowy eyed bad guys get in your the only ones to protect everyone." Said Sonata with a smile.

"Wait wouldn't that mean you guys have lost?" Asked Smolder.

"Why would you think that? I mean yeah it's five hundred vs 30 or so but we have choke points to use and some bad ass spells. But we can't be everywhere so some might just slip by us, while we are fighting. So you just have to handle the clean up. Ok?" Said Sonata.

"Ok you can count on us!" Said the group as they start to gear up.

Rainbow pulled Sonata aside "What are you doing, when Twilight hears what you just did." Rainbow whispered.

"She for realizes ordered it. Sunset, Tempest, and her had a mind chat last night with the Dark Moon. To identify the machine the enemy has but like Tempest was totally unhelpful cause of some effect fear and trauma have on memory. But he did give them the advice of give everyone that can fight a weapon and to rig the whole place go up like a firework. They ruled out the second option but she did begrudgingly agree to arm anyone who wanted to fight. Applejack and Rarity are not happy about it. But she compromised having them be the last line of defence. That way they might not have to fight at all or at the least very little. But if they have to fight hard then we at least gave them a chance cause if it comes to them being the in the thick of it...." Sonata slowed her hushed explanation to look at them.

"If they get heavy fighting we will probably be dead or captured all ready." Rainbow whispered getting a nod from Sonata. Rainbow then strutted up. "Ok everyone, we got two days to get you ready, time for the most awesome gym classes ever." She shouted to the kids before leading them off.

One Day to the battle.

Trixie was sitting on the edge of the open hatch sweating she spent the whole morning fighting in simulation after simulation against the pilots of legend in the suits memory. Or of Dark Moon's memory she should say. What she saw was going to keep Luna busy for years. Suits that in one hit could kill you piloted by some one who could predict you're every move. Pilot's who can move as if the suit is made of ice, some who made their suits practically twist around her shots. Some were of such scale that she could just stare in fear at them the first time she tried to fight them.

"Trixie how are you doing?" Asked Starlight.

"Starlight if you ever get the chance to activate one, stage one unlock. So it can just do it for you. I know he knows what I'm doing wrong but he can't actually show me or straight tell me." Said Trixie

"Yeah imagine what it's like for him? He has a body that is probably pretty epic with what he knows about it. But he can't move without orders or someone else controlling him." Said Starlight looking up at him.

"Trixie knows. Also the spell that altered me grants a increased adaptation to operating him. As well as prolonged usage makes us more attached to each other. Twilight said while it may have negative effects on both me and Dark Moon to spend so much time together we are the only defense against another attack like that first one." Said Trixie laying back in the opening.

"Yet she doesn't want us to take adaptation or fully release him?" Asked Starlight.

"Well yeah last thing we need is by the time we find one behind this or down to the last ones they summoned. Is pilots fighting over who's turn it is. Even if the big guy would find it funny. As to him being freed well you can't put the leash back on, so it be his bond to me as the only guaranty he won't turn his power on us. Which as a princess it's a understandable worry. Maybe if he agrees to give up his weapons. Well the ones that detach at least." Said Trixie.

"The princess has shown to have a very poor grasp of tactics and situational awareness." Said Dark Moon out loud, but in his mind. 'That princess hyper nerd should try spending a week a prisoner in her own body see how she likes it.'

"She is also a world saving hero, despite her tendency to overthink things." Said Trixie.

"Well she and her friends are." Added Starlight.

"Recommend Trixie get some rest and nourishment. She has been training since sunrise." Said Dark Moon.

"Trixie is fine I don't need to take a break yet." Said Trixie only for her stomach to disagree loudly.

"I think the Great and Powerful Trixie got out voted. Come on let's go see what is cooking in the kitchen." Said Starlight dragging Trixie off with her magic.

"Hay! Put Trixie down! Trixie can walk on her own two hooves! Dark Moon do something!" Shouted Trixie as she was carried off.

"I will run a self diagnostic program." Dark Moon answered prompting a groan from Trixie. In his mind. ' Even if I don't need rest now, you do. If your too tired to fight, my sanity is the last thing I'd have to worry about. I just hope it's something easy to scrap like that ball was. But what suits look like bugs. Nothing in the Zeon war for independence or in the neo-Zeon wars did. No crossbone suits. I know I seen one somewhere. What was it?'

Inside fifteen minutes latter. Trixie was scarfing down her third bowl of Sonata's cooking. Mostly fish dishes but it was still meat. Fried tuna with rice and soy sauce to be exact not her top shelf cooking but fast and easy. "Wow did the anthro process give her a hammer space stomach? She's out eating me!" Said Sonata as she rolled out another cart of food.

"Not according to the doctor's report." Said Sunset as she, Starlight and Twilight watched. Tempest even looked on in shock.

"Everypony mind your hooves or she might eat you too." Chuckled Aria as she stood guard over Twilight.

Just then Rainbow crashed through a window which was luckily unlocked so it didn't break. She tumbled through landing and skidding across the table prompting Sonata to grab the stack of dirty dishes out of the way as Trixie lifted her unfinished plate up just in time for Rainbow Dash's crash landing to slide to a stop with her face planted in Trixie's cleavage. Witch Sunset quickly teleported her cell phone out and snapped a picture of. Rainbow herself looked up from Trixie's large and soft breasts and simply stated. "Wow! Softest crash landing I ever had at Twilight's place." Her voice somewhat muffled by Trixie's breasts and shirt. Prompting Trixie to roll her eyes and shove the pegasus off the table with one hand before resuming her meal.

"So Rainbow what is so important you couldn't use the door?" Asked Twilight.

"What? Oh yeah right! We spotted the enemy army marching for Ponyville they will be here by dawn tomorrow if they don't stop for the night!" Said Rainbow snapping out of staring at Trixie's body from the floor.

Twilight gulped and asked "Did you see the enemy suit?"

"Oh yeah I saw it all right. Back of the line towering over the army marching along slowly. I also saw its pilot standing in its upturned palm. Queen Chrysalis herself draped in gold and jewels. She even blew a kiss at me before she pointed and her bug-thing fired a energy beams at me from its horn." Said Dash waving her forelegs wildly. "If it was any other pegasus they been flash fried."

Trixie burped then spoke. "No they would have been vaporized. Based on what Trixie learned in her training. It was either a practical beam weapon or high intensity laser. In either case, any living thing caught in the beam would have been at best been reduced to bones if there was anything left at all." She then set her empty plate on the stack Sonata was holding and took another full one off the cart and started eating it.

"Um how many plates had she eaten?" Asked Dash as she watched.

"That's her like fifth plate." Said Sonata.

"Where she putting it all?"Asked Dash.

"Sonata thinks she has a hammer space stomach. Like Pinky seems to. What's more surprising is Sonata knew what a hammer space was." Said Twilight

"I bet she has a hollow leg." Said Aria

"I think it goes to her boobs." Said Sunset

"I think I'll never joke about how much you or AJ eat again." Said Starlight.

"Actually Twilight, while Adagio may have been the planner of our outfits and dancing Sonata actually did the spell and songs. While I wrote the music notes to her lyrics." Said Aria said tracking back to Twilight's surprise.

"Wait so Sonata is actually smart?" Asked Twilight.

"I'm right here you know." Said Sonata.

"Well we all are I mean Adagio is good at reading people, seduction, dressmaking, dancing choreography, and surprisingly organization. Though you never guess looking at her room. Sonata can Cook, write songs, spell craft, clean, is a math wizard, and plays the air head cause she found men like dumb pretty over smart pretty. She was the reason we survived till Sunset and Trixie found us. As for me, I know three languages, can swear in seven, some basic tactics, three martial arts, can write music, and can fix electric and plumbing problems in the home. Don't ask how I managed to get those skills. Oh and Sonata was also the only one of us that had a driver's license." Said Aria as they watched Trixie clear another plate.

"Ahhhhhh. Your right Trixie needed a meal brake." Said Trixie as she patted her somehow still flat stomach and gave a cute soft burp. "Excuse Trixie."

Sunset looked at Sonata and asked. "You had a driver's license?"

"Yeah I could drive anything from a bike to tractor trailer full of hazardous waste." Said Sonata as she cleared the plates.

"How?" Asked Sunset. "It took me two tries to just get mine to drive a car."

"Easy I liked dating truckers and racers. They loved to show off their driving skills." Said Sonata as she pushed the cart away.

"Aria why does Sonata scare me?" Asked Tempest

"Cause she is as smart as she pretends to be stupid and her eyes show it. No matter how silly she acts." Said Aria.

Later that night.

Trixie cast the mind link spell with help of Sunset, to talk to Dark Moon directly.

"How are you actually feeling?" asked Trixie with her mind.

"Not very well, Sugartits. We have to kill another fan tomorrow. That is unless we manage to disable them." said Dark Moon

"What you mean by fan." asked Trixie

"Gundam is aggh- Stupid mind blocks. Ok me and the others where probably all dressed up as our favorite suits or as our own ideas of suits. I'd explain more but the restraints keep me from even telling you in thought. It's not fun. By the way what you going to wear in the fight? Just your bed clothes like before or your work out gear?" replayed Dark Moon Changing the subject.

"Why do you have a preference?" asked Trixie with a shake of the head.

"Yes actually I prefer you in what you wore when we first met." said Dark Moon more then a little hint of amusement in his mental worlds as well as lust.

Trixie felt her cheeks heat up thankful her fur color made it hard to blush "Well, Trixie will be wearing her cape and hat but that will not be the sole components of Trixie's attire." she said folding her arms and turning her nose up and away in a huff.

"Oh well can't blame a guy for trying. Wish I didn't have to put you at risk. said Dark Moon

"I think thats more your programming then you. But I will try to keep you from getting to banged up out there tomorrow." said Trixie.

"Maybe partly but if I was still human I'd love to spend a lot more time with you. I mean you are a knockout.... and I forgot the mind link doesn't censor what I want to say from what I just want to think. I believe this would be a good time to end it tonight before I put my other foot in my other mouth. I so wish I could facepalm right now. rambled Dark Moon

Trixie giggled as she replied "Good night Dark, and maybe we can find a cure some day." with that the link was cut.

"So what did you talk about?" Asked Sunset.

"Trixie was only checking on his well being. After all we are depending on him but not cause he chooses to help us." Said Trixie

"Do you think he would?" Asked Sunset

Trixie looked back the suit the eye dark as it was in sleep mode. "Maybe if I washed him naked." She said with a chuckle getting a laugh from Sunset too. "But I think it's more he wants revenge on the one that did this to him. That said if we find them I'm sure in full release he would to make them pay. Beyond that, well... I like to believe he would." Said Trixie.

"The bonding is getting stronger isn't?" Asked Sunset

"Oh buck it is. I think the mind links speed up the process. The fact we are opposite sex also makes it worse I think." Said Trixie.

"Well maybe Luna's visit tonight will help." Said Sunset.

"Who me or him?" Asked Trixie.

"Him for sure. But you could probably benefit from it too. I mean you are going to fight tomorrow." Said Sunset

"So are you." Said Trixie

"Yeah but I'm just using magic not fighting one on one with Chrysalis. I mean she doesn't sound like a nice mare." Said Sunset

"Yeah but in have Dark Moon backing me up. I'll be fine as long as I'm with him." Trixie stopped right after she said that.

"You realize how attached to him that sounded and how much ownership you applied to him there didn't you?" Said Sunset

"Trixie has and is worried that the bonding effect might actually be worse to the pilot." Said Trixie

"We will look into it after we win tomorrow. After all we can't have you going crazy. Or we are all in trouble." Said Sunset

"Yes night Sunset I need my sleep." Said Trixie as she turned towards her room

"Night." Replied Sunset.

In the dreamscape of Dark Moon's mind.

Suits of numerous shapes forms and sizes traded fire across a space. "My one would think you wouldn't dream of such things given your situation Sir Dark Moon." Said Luna.

The Dark Moon appeared next to her smaller as tall as her with a short muzzle. a single eye in its head dressed in a Zeon uniform matching his dark colors of his armor, it's right hand a dragon head looking at her as the single eye watched the battle from the bridge of a ship they now stood on. "Princess Luna I take it? Whiskey?" He asked Offering her a half empty bottle.

"Thank you." She took it in her magic and took a swig and made a face. "Strong, good burn." She said.

"Yeah in real life I couldn't drink it straight." He lit a cigar in the muzzle using the dragon flame. Took a few puffs then exhaled and said. "I never smoked either but I have the urge to these days. Not surprised given way my body is now." He said as the dragon arm moves to look her in the eyes.

"I see the effect is worse the I thought or are you choosing to look like this." Said Luna.

"I'm not but this is the closest thing to my original form my mind can think of. " Said Dark Moon

"I see must be the spell. What do you remember?" Asked Luna

"The convention, flashes of friends and events but mostly what applies directly to mobile suits. I can't tell where some fiction I remember reading ends and my actual life begin in some cases." He looked at her with his head now. "What's more confusing is Trixie. My bond to her. It... I think I knew her or of her before coming here. But I'm not sure." Said Dark Moon as he turns to look behind him.

Luna follows his gaze. Then snaps her head back to the window. Behind them is a mental creation of Trixie as she is now wearing only her hat and cap lounging across a ornate couch throne thing, eating grapes with a glass of whisky. Long threads of red string stretched from her fingers to Dark Moon's back. "I umm... I see you have a very detailed and creative imagination." Said Luna blushing.

"I did design the suit that is my body now. But yes I was a novice writer and artists." He walked over and sat down with Trixie his dragon arm wrapping around her and nuzzling against her breast.

"I see well all things considered your mind is holding up well. Even if you are becoming dependent on Trixie to hold sanity." She tried to keep her eyes on his single eye in his head.

"It's been roughly a week, nine days, to be exact. It will become worse as time goes by. I can only imagine what the others are going through. But princess I ask one thing. Free us. We can't escape our bond to our pilots but give me and the other victims the right to move and talk on our own. Even if I am fighting for you me and them are still slaves fighting on another's will." Said Dark Moon as he feeds another grape to Trixie.

"I will discuss this with Twilight and my sister... well if you and Twilight survive tomorrow. I will also look for a cure myself for you." Said Luna as she turned to leave.

"One more thing. Check on Trixie's dreams she needs her rest tomorrow is going to be hard on her. Especially with infantry being mixed in the battle." Said Dark Moon.

With a nod Luna Vanished from his dream.

In Trixie's dream she wore a long dress with stars and moons on it, as she danced in the arms of what was the Dark Moon only smaller. She was as altered in body as she was in waking world a bad sign to Luna and she had wings coming from her back. As the two spun and twirled around a crystal ballroom. "I don't recall Twilight saying you had gained wings." Said Luna

"Trixie hasn't but Trixie is aloud to dream big is she not?." Said Trixie as she continued to dance.

"True I see your partner is, well, very knightish. Was your partner always in armor?" Asked Luna

"Yes and no. I used to have this dream of Ace Crimson Moon." Said Trixie

"General Firefly's son? Why he was one of my captain's back before my um... banishment." Said Luna surprised

"Trixie knows. Trixie's great grandmother dated him. Trixie found a painting of him in her home when Trixie was a teen, and well you can guess what that led to." Said Trixie

"I see, the sword of Equestria is now usurped in your dreams by one who is a more dedicated war pony then he ever could be. I admit your taste in ponies is one I share." Said Luna.

"Trixie dose have a weakness for legionary pegasus type heros." Said Trixie with a blush.

"Very well I just wanted to make sure you had a good night's sleep I'll see to it that this dream lasts the night." Said Luna.

"Thank you your highness." Said Trixie as her dance partner dips her towards Luna in a backwards bow unintentionally giving Luna a impressive downblouse look of Trixie's cleavage.

"Yes. Pleasant dreams. Captain Lulamoon." Said Luna before she vanished.

Luna rose from her bed to see her sister standing there. "Well?"

"Ponyville's defenders are all having good dream and will wake well rested. Trixie is has me worried about the bonds effects and strength as does Dark Moon, but for him the bond is keeping him sane. I fear for the mental health of those enslaved by those behind this. Also he took point to remind me that we are enslaving him as well even if we have the same enemy. I think he resents Twilight's choice not to fully releases him." Said Luna

"Sunset said as much in her letter along with a list of insults he hurled at Twilight in the mental link she made with him the first time they did it. Some I had to pounder the meaning of. Said Celestia.

The next morning Sunrise was welcomed with a silent hustle. The defence force was in Twilight's castle eating breakfast, what was jokingly said to be their last meal. All wore armor or battle dress of some sort. Zecora was eating her meal the bandoleer of potions clanking together as she ate her eyes glancing at the one who would carry the day or who's defeat would signal a horrid fate for them all.

Applejack and Big Mac sat side by side gilded out in sets of full plate pillaged from the castle of the sisters, with most all the other weapons and armor. Across from her sat Rarity and to her left the C.M.C. and several students. Looking excited for the coming battle they whispered among themselves taking a note of the mood in the room to keep it quiet despite their blind excitement. They would not see it that way in a few hours.

Twilight ate quietly a breakfast with meat along side Trixie and Sunset. She figured she would try it once and given death or worse was coming to day. "Every one." She said drawings everyone's attention. "I know what we face is scary, I know many of us will be injured or could even die. But I want you all to know I'm proud of all of you, your courage, your loyalty and your strength, to stand with us today. You are all true friends and I hope the power of our friendship will see us though." Said Twilight

Some started to clap but was interrupted by Aria. "Your wrong Twilight." Everypony looked at her in shock. "We are more than friends, we are not just fighting as friends but as brothers and sisters in arms." Said Aria.

Sonatas hugged Aria who for once made no attempt to fight against it. As Adagio spoke. "Aria's right, we are all Brothers and Sisters! We are the Ponyville family and we will defend our home together!" This seemed to be lighting a fire in those gathered in the room.

"Yes how silly of me. Thank you Aria, Adagio. Your right we will stand as a family, and we will win!" Said Twilight pumping a hoof in the air.

The room thundered with hooves and cheers. Smolder leaned in to her nearest class mate Silverstream and whispers. "You know I never thought mushy stuff could be so motivating."

"I know, and that makes you my dragon battle sister!" Said hyper Silverstream making Smolder roll her eyes but still smiled.

Three hours latter the troops where now in view as Trixie sits in her seat her new outfit feeling good.

"I need to thank the other Rarity next time I go through the mirror. The leotard, boots and gloves breath much better and the fabric feels better on the fur." Said Trixie.

"The new flight suit looks more comfortable for you, will it help against high G stress?" Asked Dark Moon who was using the communication camera to 'save' the way Trixie looked in it as she sat in him her cap draped over the back of the seat.

"Thank you and yes based on what I learned from you Sunset and Twilight have enchanted the material to constrict to prevent black and red outs. So no holding back today ok. Let's show them our best. After all this is our first time on the mane stage with a famous star." Said Trixie.

"Enemy in scanner range unit identified! The ZM-D11GRB Abigorbine. Warning high output beam weaponry and multiple missile launchers. Close combat weapons of beam cutters and beam scythes." Said the Dark Moon as the imagine zoomed in on the suit.

"Great just what we don't need upside less likely to do a lot of wild shots right?" Asked Trixie as she buckled up.

"That will not be the case. Heat output rising it's going to fire." Said the Dark Moon

"Twilight shield up!" Shouted Trixie over the speaker.

The magical dome raised seconds before three streams of Yellow beams bust forth carving a massive swath destruction through Ponyville. The beams struck the shield and then reflected back slicing more paths of destruction wildly through the town expanding the damage. "My, my, that's clever. But it leaves the rest of Ponyville defenceless." Said Chrysalis. She then drove this point home by launching several missiles from her suits shoulders and blowing up several random building.

"What is she doing!" Shouted Rarity.

"She's leveling Ponyville!" Shouted Applejack.

She fired another blast from her beams clearing more houses. Trixie was already moving she had to walk out of the shield to avoid crashing in to it. Once clear the flight engines roar to life and she rises into the air seeing much of the center of Ponyville as scared stretches of burnt ground or in flaming ruins. Chrysalis was so preoccupied with her destruction she didn't notice the Dark Moon at first. "Guess we should end this fast. I don't think capture would be possible." Said Trixie as she took aim. After a few seconds of spin up a rain of fire burst forth from the spinning barrels pelting the enemy suit braking one points of its horn and denting and pelting the armor even detonating one of the open missile launchers.

"Ahhhhhh! Who dares?" The suit looked up its three eyes lock on the Dark Moon. "Ah! My date finally showed up. My pets go burn the town kill the children and bring me Twilight and her friends!" The army charged forward down the path cut by the beams.

"The infantry will overrun the defenders recommend ushering the dragon flame." Said the Dark Moon as Trixie had him dodge a beam shot.

"Did you forget that she is mind controlling them?" Trixie asked as she returned fire.

"If we don't our friends will be captured or killed, and all evidence gathered lost along with those students. It is a tragedy but tragedies happen in war." Said the Dark Moon, 'If we don't, I don't want to imagine what will happen to them. Or how upset you will be.' he thought.

"Still.... oh Buck! Luna needs over time pay after this." Said Trixie as she rolled over her suit in the air dodging another beam shot and diving down.

At the shield the first few waves of infantry had passed through and the ponies were fighting hard. "Hay what's Trixie up too?" Shouted Starlight. The defenders saw the Dark Moon swoop low in the air, it's right arm extend out and a dragon head formed it then launched a tremendous burst of flame sweeping over the enemy forces. The screams of agony and pain filled the air as more than four fifths of the army burned alive. Trixie then dodged another blast of beam fire.

"What have you done! Those where my toys! My pets! You had no right to take them from me!" Screamed Chrysalis as she rushed in and drew her beams scythes connecting them together in to a staff and started swinging wildly at the Dark Moon.

Trixie thrusted back and claimed half the gatlings guns barrels falling away as they were cut through. "Recommend detaching the shield gatling." Said the Dark Moon.

Trixie quickly did as suggested releasing the locks holding the what was left of the gun to let it slid of dropping down to ground crushing a home under its weight. "I really liked that gun." Complained Trixie as she fired the gun that was under her shield it multiple barrels erupting with fury for it larger brothers fate.

'She like that gun? I was kind of attached to it myself. That's going to be a pain to fix. Owwwww! Fuck those beams sting!'said Dark Moon in his mind as Trixie dodge as best she could from the savage slashes of the mad bug. One slicing off a piece of its right shoulder pad and leaving a shallow cut in the shoulder itself.

"I think I might need the sword here." Said Trixie

"A valid tactical option." Replied Dark Moon as it assisted the sword draw while she focused on dodging.

Below in the shield bubble, the fighting was still fierce as what remains of the army clashed with the defenders. It was brutal the enemy was unfazed by the fire attack some even still charged as through the flames with no head of its danger. In the school the students and C.M.C. watched in fear. "I don't think I feel as excited about this fight anymore." Said Smolder.

"Tell me about it. I mean yeah fights are always bad the retaking of Canterlot was crazy. I still remember the smell of burning yeti fur." Said Spike who was put in charge of the school defenders.

"Wait you burned creatures alive before you even had your molt?" Asked Smolder.

"Not fatal my flames were nowhere near what that Dark Moon let loose. But this isn't the first battle I seen. I mean Nightmare Moon, Discord, the wedding invasion, the fight with Sombra and the storm king's invasion. But none where as bad as this one. No one died as far as I know. This is worse." Said Spike pointing over his shoulder. The dragon had stopped watching as soon as the flames started the others did not much to the regret of the Several of them who lost the contents of their stomachs. Thankfully the front hall had restrooms.

Aria was smiling no she was beaming. She had loved violent games in the human world, she loved to fight in martial arts or boxing or whatever. As long as she could hit her opponents. But above all else she loved fighting alongside her sisters. Something they not done in over a thousand years, and right now they where. Just like when they were pups. She thrust her trident forward into a Diamond Dog in crude armor the pulled up lifting and tossing it over her head. Before it hit the ground she heard the sound of her sisters weapons rending it to pieces. Adagio holding a old hook sword that was actually from the mirror world the blade was expertly cratered and had ornate etching which now where filled with blood. It was one of the things she kept when they had to abandon the home they had do to eviction. Why? Only she knew. Sonata was a different threat ever the cook she actually was using knives throwing them with a amazing skill with one hoof while swinging a meat cleaver in the other making precision cuts that left limbs limp or cut arteries. The three where almost dancing when ever one dropped her defence or was open another's attack slipped in to catch the enemy in mid swing.

Heat sword and beam scythe clash in flashes of light as the two suits twirl and spun in the sky. Trixie was sweating this fight was hard high G turns and maneuvers where taxing on her body, constant jolts of blades clashing and hard movements made her muscles ache as she strained at the controls. Both suits had light cuts in the armor from close calls. Dark Moon was in pain and he was sure the enemy was as well Trixie blocked the scythe again it's tip digging into Dark Moon collar but the she brought the shield arm in for a gut punch the sound of metal against metal filled her ears then she pulled the trigger the multi barrel gun under the shield fired point blank sending a few dozen round right in to cockpit of the enemy suit. The enemy machine went still as it fell back to the ground a smoking whole in it. upon impact it exploded in a massive fireball and bright light. As if a switch was flipped all the enemy troops collapsed to the ground like puppets who's strings had been cut mid show.

"Is... it... over?" Panted Starlight as she dropped to her barrel.

"I think.... we one..." Said Thunderlane as he hovered with some effort nearby one of his flight goggles lenses cracked and blood running down his head.

"Remind me to ask Twilight for a raise." Said Adagio.

"Hey at least we get a solid paycheck. Spike did all our jobs and more for a five bit allowance." Said Sonata.

"Good point remind to ask Twilight for a raise for us and spike." Said Adagio.

Spike was shaking in the last few moments of the battle several enemy troops had broken through the door he and smolder where leaning on each other after they had held off a pair of Abyssinian troops. The third was a pony witch lay bleeding on the ground from numerous crossbow bolts in him. "Ok today's friendship lesson. Always trust you team to hold their position and do their job as long as you do yours." Said Spike with a dry chuckle.

"Please don't make this sappy or i'll have to smack you, and ruin how cool you look right now." Said Smolder.

"Ok Fair." Answered spike.

Day after the battle.

Trixie was outside in a bikini with a soap and sponge scrubbing the Dark Moon's armor. Over to one side the gatling gun lay the pieces gathered and put in place where now glowing as they mended themselves. "What a mess." Said Trixie as she looked over Ponyville from on the should of the Dark Moon.

"Yes it is. It could have been a lot worse. But thanks to you two it's over." Said Twilight

Trixie looked at her with a frown. "You think it's over?" Asked Trixie.

Twilight sighs. "Your right, it's not. But we should at least enjoy a small rest while we can, that attack had to cost them a lot of ponies."

"How are the victim's doing?" Asked Trixie

"Not good our wounded where light no fatalities on our side thank Celestia. But those she used are in bad shape many are still comatose some actually just dropped dead. Several took off and ran when they woke one even injured a nurse in doing so. Very few that woke up are even able to remember much of anything other then seeing Chrysalis exit the giant bug thing and then a bright light. Then as for their families or friends and we have to tell them..." Twilight explained trialling of at the end.

"Trixie sees. So how do the repairs look to go?" Asked Trixie as she started washing the command horn.

In the Dark Moon's mind. 'I know I should feel bad about what happened but I'm just happy Trixie is ok. Also Trixie is best pilot, she is washing me her self in a bikini! I so wish I could enjoy this more than I can..... I am completely in stockholm syndrome now aren't I?

A image file is sent to him by a cell number. In it was a picture of Trixie straddling his horn as she washed it. With a message.

Hay big guy found a manual last night while doing maintenance to help you heal nothing too helpful but it had your contact band so a quick spell on my cell and I can text you. Don't think it will work both ways but I figured you would like these. From Sunset

What followed was several other pictures of Trixie even one of Trixie his pilot next to a human Trixie as well as one of Rainbow manned Pegasus face planted in Trixie's breasts writhe her holding a plate up out of the way.

'Sunset is best mechanic.' as he created a save file for the pictures in his mind.
