Celestia smiled, "I am happy you approve of them but how can you be sure they fit your plan without knowing more about them?"

"I'd like a little resume on each of course, but what I meant was about the aura they give off, I have seen countless heros and they all add this aura, those who have it make for the best Allies and the worst enemies."

Celestia giggled, "they do give off a peculiar feeling of being specials."

She held her hand toward the group, "twilight sparkle, my own student and element of magic, the element are old artefacts of great power who were severally weakened by the destruction of the tree and the creation of the magic dampening tower. She is a smart and organized pilot, she can lead with efficiency and precision and her skill in multitasking is unparalleled in this generation. Applejack, strong and resilient she is the element of honesty and joined my guard a 11 years ago and rapidly climbed the ranks. She's very talented at breaking down the enemies lines and Excel into close combat, while being very untalented with fire weapons she can use throwing weapons."

Luna came forward,"i shall pursue sister, next is rainbow dash, you already met her but let me present her properly, she is the element of loyalty and joined my guard at the same time as miss Applejack joined my sister's, fast and with killer instinct she is recognized by many as the best flyer among the whole world, this led to her being constantly targeted during battle preventing us to exploit her full potential, still she is a fantastic pilot once in the sky. Then come pinkamina Dian pie or pinkie pie, unpredictable on the battlefield her ability lies in the support she can provide, she showed talent into offering cover fire for other units to regroup and reform a line of defense, she's also the moral boost of all ponyvilians. Sister, the next three are yours, they are part of your special team after all."

Celestia rolled her eyes, "As Luna said, the rest is a bit different, they have 'quirk' to them, rarity Belle for example is the element of generosity but also hold the 'diamond' title, it was awarded for bringing down an entire battalion without her MS being damaged, she is a precision fighter, she keep track of her position and limits and Target the enemies weak point with almost cruel precision. Fluttershy is the element of kindness and earned her title 'feral' during the start of the war, she highjacked an enemy MS and...I will leave it to her to explain to you if she wish to, just know that she is the best you can ask for when it come to surprise attack and ambush. Last is spike sparkle, he is the adoptive brother of twilight and also a dragonkin, he was raised among pony and choose to stand by us after bearing witness of it's brethren way of dealing with there weakest kin, he earned it's title by defeating a dragonkin commander in one on one fight and claimed it's MS for himself, while damaged the MS was far more advanced but also too alien for us to study, we repaired it at best as we could and he as been piloting it since then, he is the most 'by the books' fighter among our elites but this make him reliable and easy to use in battle."

'those will be perfect, they have talent but needs MS who can keep up, or I should say gundam who can keep up. Hacks, bring me the 5 gundam from gundam wing shematics and try to adapt the equestrian materials for them, the early version since the upgraded one are too ressources consuming.'

-very well kshatriya, I have finished the simulation for the low grade gundarium substitute, it's stable but the refining will use nanites.

I turned to celestia, "they will do nicely, I have hacks working on the unit shematics but i need mythril, gold and rubber, I will start producing a thing called nanites, they are needed to make a new alloy out of mythril and orichalque wich will be the main material used for their units."

Celestia waved a hand toward maud's followers, "retrieve all the ressource we Can spare and have them brought here,"she turned to me, "kshatriya is it possible to see those new units? I'd like for the pilotes to see if what they will fit them and maud to see what she will build."

It's when the one I guessed to be golden age stepped forward, "I also wish to see those 'new' knights frames, I hope they are more fitting of equestria than you are, machine."

'why you little...'

Celestia brows furrowed, "lady golden may I remind you of kshatriya gifts being in fact gifts? She is offering us support the least we can do is being polite and not make demands."

"Yes of course princess, it's just that this mach- I mean gundam conception is less than mediocre i mean look at those bulky shoulder plate and thick limbs! No gracious at all compared to our daughtress classic frame."

"Honestly? Your daughtress are trash, they are balanced compared to the thin armored aries but are also weaker than most ground units and compared to the aries, the daughtress flying capacity is simply too low, in short it's an outdated and poorly Designed MS."

my speech made the face of golden age take a red tint and her left eyes was twitching, I could almost see a vein pulsating on her forehead, "y-you how d-d-d-dare you insult the beauty that is the daughtress?! It was conceived by our forefather greatest minds and-"

"-and as such is outdated compared to more developed and upgraded MS. adaptation is vital in war, evolution is survival, stagnation is death or like the saying goes, improvise, adapt, overcome. this is basic common sense for one leading a development project of any kind."

"Well said hacks! Heard the ultra modern artificial intelligence? Your daughtress are trash."

"Enough! Kshatriya please don't antagonize our head of development, and lady golden? Since you are so certain of the superiority of your own MS I will have you present your own latest creation to me and my sister later." Celestia calmly said.

Golden age left eye twitching returned and she simply tsked and left with a handful of follower while the rest of the MS development employee remained with content looks.

'so not all the development team is against progress like golden age, it's a good news.'

-it was to be expected, the MS development profession would draw people with strong desire to create and improve.

Luna then jumped with a grin into the conversation before golden age could leave,"we could also build one unit of each side and have a friendly contest to see which one is the best MS developer."

"Very good idea Luna, but for now, we will see kshatriya units if it's possible?"

"Sure hacks as finished adapting the schematics to your ressources."

"Perfect, then please proceed kshatriya."

I looked at the wall behind the equestrians and used my eye as a projector.

It got a gasp from all equestrian and the pilot were already thrilled.

"Those five gundam were developed and constructed with one purpose, defend a weakened and vulnerable population and defeat a more resourceful and more staffed army, remind you of something princesses?"

Celestia had to force herself but turned to me still shocked but smiling, "it's a situation like our own."

"Yep, while i cannot produce certain of their weapons yet they are still far stronger and tougher than regular MS."

The pilot advanced and looked at me, i already knew what they wanted. I started descripting each units and showed images of each element and abilities presented at the same time.

"Lieutenant rainbow, yours is the middle one, the wing gundam is the fastest of the lot, it can switch from gundam to jet and will be equipped with head mounted vulcans efficient against lightly armored targets, while i cannot produce the main weapon -the buster rifle- i will not let you weapon less and make you a special one handed grenade launcher and a heat blade stashed in the shield."

"How fast can it go, and how much strain can i put on it before warping the wings?"

"Top speed in MS form is around 358 km/h using the thruster, in 'bird mod' the jet shape its 10 time that. The wing can easily support it as long as you don't break into a sudden and tight turn at max speed."

"...are you serious?"

"I am, its the fastest of the five as i told you."

"Its awesome!"

She started jumping in place while the others pilot looked with renowned thrill at the picture on the wall.

"Lieutenant applejack, yours is on the top right. Sandrock is the most equilibrated in term of raw strength and speed combination and as a wide array of weapon, the two Heat Shotel can easily slice through steel and also be used as throwing weapons, it can also be combined with the shield to form the cross crusher a deadly scissor able to grab a whole MS and cut it in two, the shield is also equipped with flasher to blind enemy. Like the wing zero the sandrock also as two head mounted vulcan but also a handheld machine gun, it also has two missile launcher in the shoulders."

"I like how it sound to me partner, but you can keep your machine gun, hit more ally than enemy with those.*nervous chuckle*"

I recognized the southern accent and would have grinned had i been able to. "sure, i'll replace it with a heat whip, not as sharp as the heated shotel but still enough to damage MS as middle range."

"Now that i can appreciate partner!"

I turned to rarity, "major rarity, yours is top left, shen long is a middle range units using a pole, a heat trident in our case, he as something called dragon fang, it cover the right hand and the arm then elongates to 'bite' the enemies, it also double as a flamethrower adding to its dragon theme, just like the previous two it has head mounted vulcan and a shield mounted on the left shoulder, talented pilot can use it as throwing weapon."

"Very good but nothing for long range?"

"I can add some heated javelin or a machine gun but the dragon fang already slow it down so anything heavier could perturbe you."

"I'll take the javelin then, would three be too much?"

"No, i can fit five at most by making them telescopic, the speed and heat will be the damage source not the weight."

"Then it's sold for me darling. Shen long~~were going to be the best of friend you and i fufufu."

'a-ah a very different kind of pilot from wufei.'

"Ohohoh do me! Do me!"pinkie jumped around her massive chest dangling heavily with her in an almost see through shirt.

'don't say that while i am subjected to such heavenly view woman! what will you do if i lose control of myself and take you?!'

-kshatriya you cannot partake in-

'i know goddamnit! this succubus is making me turn stupid!'

"*sigh* miss pie, yours is lower right, heavyarms is the most distance focused units you can find and was fitted with as many ballistic weapons as possible. just like other units, it has vulcan on the head but it also as a pair of machine cannons mounted on the clavicle section of the Heavyarms, they sports stronger power than the vulcan guns. Six homing missiles are stored within the shoulders and Two pods each containing twelve micro missiles are mounted on the legs all are fired at the enemies with a lock-on system, its main features still is both the Two Gatling guns mounted within the chest of Which When in use make the chest armor opens up so the guns can be fired. They are powerful enough to deal significant damage to even gundanium armor and off course the Gatling Worn over the left forearm, the Gatling comes with a shield. When not in use, it can be carried on the back and like the chest gatling gun its a very destructive weapon, off course this units has a default, its frightening ammunition consumption. it's why it has a Army Knife hidden in the right arm, i will replace it with a heated one for stronger cutting power, the heavy arms also as the highest raw strength but lack speed and manageability, it's a long range support unit who can offer heavy cover fire."

"s-so many cannon~~"saliva, dripped from her mouth onto her chest in a very erotic display.

'c-curse you succubus!' i wasn't the only one troubled by it since most equestrian were blushing.

"a-anyway, the last one is for you miss fluttershy, the bottom left is named deathscythe, once again equipped with head mounted vulcan it also has Machine Cannons, shell firing weapons mounted on the shoulders capable of dealing significant damage to moderatly armored mobile suits. its shield is also called buster shield and in addition to its defensive capabilities, the buster shield can also be used as a close-range weapon. A beam blade can be emitted from the buster shield after the physical blades at the front split apart. The shield itself can even be launched towards its target thanks to the thruster at the back. but like you can see the main weapon is the Beam Scythe, a powerful close combat beam weapon that is able to cleave through any armor and capable of operating underwater. The heat and powerful magnetic field it produces can begin to disintegrate the target even as the beam blade approaches. the beam emitter is flexible and the beam emitted can take on other shape beside that of a scythe blade, like a spear for example. i will be the one to assemble this units weapon since i don't want to make public beam weapon yet."

"why are you letting me use beam weapons then?" she asked with her head on the side?

'damn she's adorable, the one who hurt her so much must have been one heartless son of a bitch...a'm gonna rip him a new one when I found him.'

"test mostly, i want to know how they fair in battle and the deathscythe is the most beam oriented unit."

celestia advanced since my description of the five units was over, "they are fantastic unit kshatriya but what about spike and twilight?"

spike actually stepped forward at this, "don't need one, the dragon code clearly stipule i have to pilot my own MS until either, i'm defeated in it, its destroyed, or i defeat another dragon in a fair fight and claim their own."

twilight sparkle walked to him, "please spike, a new unit would increase you survival chance out there, this damaged Gafran is almost a walking coffin!"

"no can do twilight, most dragon may have forgotten the code but i won't."

i butted in before it could devolve into a full out bickering,"maybe i could repair it? you know give it back its old specs? Even upgrade it."

spike rest a hand on its chin, "that...is acceptable."

"then it's settled for spike, i'll repair is present units to full capacity again, as for twilight, it's a very special unit, while it won't have access to its full power yet, i decided to make her the gundam exia."

eyes widened seeing the gundam i projected on the wall.

"contrary to the other its power source was originally different, but for now it will be using a ultracompact fusion reactor until i see how well you fair with it, consider that as a small test." twilight seemed to stiffen at the word 'test' but i didn't bother asking, "this unit is equipped with gn weapons normally, they are energy weapons similar to beam weapon but stronger yet, one disadvantage is that their performance can be decreased by surrounding atmospheric conditions or methods of beam diffusion, instead the exia will be equipped with vulcan like the other but in the arms instead because While the Sword of exia double as a Rifle with high power, it requires a transformation action and can't respond instantly, thus the GN Vulcans were installed to counter this weakness. Though their power are weak, their high firing rate means that they can be a threat to conventional targets lacking in term of armor, you will also have a heat blade attached to a miniature forearm shield, which serves as the Exia's primary weapon, and the largest blade amongst its Seven Swords. Although the blade is considered to have great destructive power, there are situations where it cannot be used due to its size. The Sword can also be used in Rifle Mode, whereby the blade returns to its idle folded state exposing the muzzle of a rifle. The Rifle Mode was created to avoid the equipping of excessive armaments on Exia, and thus enhance the ease of movement which the unit's systems depend heavily on. along this you have two beam daggers on the lower back and two beam saber on the back, the first make for great throwing weapon and the second for short range emergencies weapons, last weapons are the Long Blade and Short Blade respectively, these are Exia's customized swords that differ in size from the main Sword and are the weapons that had the longest development time among all of Exia's armaments. the main Sword has difficulty doing damage without a certain amount of swing and space due to its size, these were designed in order to give the Exia blades that can be used in a variety of situations that the Sword has difficulty with. They possess the ability to cut through 2 meters of conventional E-Carbon armor. Like the Beam Daggers, you can uses the Short Blade as a throwing knife. When not in use, they are stored on the hips."

"i have beam weapon too?!"

"yep, your unit is a quick strike unit and brawler so it can turn the tide of a battle but it require battle vision and cunning, don't rush at the start wait and bide your time and strike with fury and precision to make a maximum of damage in the shortest time when the situation is right."

"w-what about the t-test?"

I looked at all of the pilots, "simple, if your group do well and if you use the gundam efficiently i'll reward outstanding mission with blueprint for upgrades, that way your gundams grow with you and i get to see if i can trust you to be responsible with more technologies and weapons."

celestia smiled, "i finally see what my sister saw in you, while i can tell your are young i can also see you are not foolish, you earned our trust already so we will earn yours as well,"she turned to the equestrians and spoke regally with her arms spread wide, her sister by her side,"everyone! remember this day, its the day equestria begin its counter attack, we will work harder than ever before but no alone anymore, we have a visitor from behind the stars seeking alliance with us if we can prove our worth! i said let's show it! what made us the greatest land among all, the beacon of power and unity that we were and will be again, hail equestria!"

""hail equestria! hail equestria! hail equestria!"" the voice resounded into the hangar and soon i heard more outside, the hangar giant doors opened revealing what i presume was the ponyvillian, all were hailing along the princesses who turned to me with a smile,

'clever girls, can you feel this hacks?' the hangar shook with the equestrian cheer.

-feel what exactly kshatriya?

'war hacks, battle and war, but more importantly, changes.'

i looked at the equestrian, the elites squad talking with fever and already planning formations and team tactics. maud, her sister and sunset and her groups were exchanging notes they made about the ultracompact fusion reactor and the princess held each other hands.

'this is what i wanted, meaning to existence instead of slowly wasting away, here life can mean something I can mean somethings. no, we can mean something, your with me after all right hacks?'

-now and always Kshatriya.
