Kshatriya MS-BB pov

One of the good thing about being a mecha was the lack of after effect from over drinking, 'thought i didn't drink in the first place.' the other one was that thanks to my scanner and processing power i was more than capable of noticing in how much pain the equestrians in front of me were,'teach you to get wasted while i can't!', joke aside it was also thanks to that that i was able to notice the slight twitch in the furrowed eyebrows or the spasm of the throat pushing back an urge to vomit, because in all fairness they all hide it pretty well, the cause was the news the sentry sent us this morning at 8.26, the ship of gilda had reached optical range. At first i panicked because seeing the average ship size in equestria the ship would have pretty much be on our doorstep but it would only be the case if said ship was the same size as equestria's ship. Where the biggest ship i saw created by equestria was the daybreak which was based on the minerva and stood around 350 meter long, the biggest ship still owned by celestia was the morning star based on the white base and spanning a small 250 meter long, yet when i looked from the roof of ponyville toward the griffonian force, i was treated by the sight of a very memorable ship, one that was moving on the ground, because indeed the ship was not a flying ship, not even a flying battleship but a landship, looking like a bike, because yes gilda piercedraft battleship was the motherfucking adrastea, nothing less.

A behemoth of almost 500 meter with enough firepower to destroy a good sized army of MS, and with the support of plenty of MS.

"What is the headcount of the enemy forces?"celestia asked as she was trying to organize the defences

Twilight looked at the notebook that was seemingly containing all the information known by equestria in the whole world before answering,"from the latest report aside of gilda's technobike," 'technobike seriously?!' "the enemies are numbering 152 aries, 30 leo and there was report of at least twenty torus leaving the bulk of the enemy army to possible hiding spots in the field and hills around the city's in preparation for ambush and surprise attack, this is the force moving to us from the east at least but we also received a short message from the crystal empire through Morse in the boreal spreading from the empire, it was probably sent urgently and was repeated all morning to make sure we received it, 'knight in good company leaving north moving toward friends', my guess is that miliardo as decided to join gilda on what is certainly an attempt at dealing equestria the killing blow he must have brought competent helper but still not enough to allow cadence to send messenger."

'the miliardo?! As in milliardo peacecraft?!'

-maybe the appearance of their MS and ship isn't the only thing those lands have in common with the gundam universe kshatriya.

'now that is both a endearing and scary thought hacks, do you know how many character i want to meet now?'

-is it a rhetorical question or should i attempt to evaluate the response?

'rhetorical hacks, even i don't know, as i said i want to meet them as much as i fear their potentials, i have a op build but milliardo brought the wing zero down with a leo in the first part of the anime, those guy don't care about MS speck, it's all about talent and i sure as hell doesn't compare.'

Luna grunted,"miliardo is both an master commander and a fierce opponent, its knight frame is more than even i can chew,"she smirked,"at least before the upgrade my Bertigo has gone through, i will show this toddler who has the upper-hand when we don't have an handicap."

Celestia narrowed her eyes at her sister,"don't lose yourself in the battle thought, it almost costed you dearly with him once, just like you said this man is a fierce opponent and i shall assist you against him, at least if my MS is ready, kshatriya?"

"Operational but not fully loaded, the main asset is not on it yet but it's a fully fledged gundam already, just lacking the ace i wanted for it."

"It will have to do," she turned to maud." what of our forces?"

Maud face remained stoic as she looked at the princess straight in the eyes,"the boys and girls worked hard, all ships are ready, we have checked the morning star and kshatriya did wonder, it's battle ready and loaded with the new i-field who can withstand weak ballistic assault and high power beam and heat weapons. Its armament was also upgraded with a mix of ours and kshatriya weapons, we equipped it with a double barrel 560mm Main Gun at the front and a large array of
Anti-air weapons to defend against MS. From kshatriya we got and equipped two set of missile launcher, two of 3 by 3 and two of 4 by 4 and a pair of what she referred to as mega particle cannon-"

"Which i warn you about right now must only be used in last resort, the e-cap capacity of the white base is larger than the others but we still have at most two volley with it so counting the energy needed to move back at the station for resupply its one shot at best and only when reserve are above 60 percent at least."

"Like she said, the weapon also lack precision so using it is out if our ships are on the line of fire, talking about the others ship, we have 13 of them, we have six Zamouth Nada-class that the changling probably had taken from the griffin, it was too small for the i-field but we made them into anti MS ship by changing the two barrel canons with a platform fitting 3 Three-Barreled Defensive machine Gun each making it six and allowing a very effective anti MS unite even at long range. Among the seven other ship we have five Drake-class from the dragonnian kingdom certainly, they are in pristine condition and their small size and speed coupled to their frailty made them pointless as offensive ship so instead kshatriya and me repurposed them into moving shields, we took out all the weapon and used the technologie she used to protect the foundation of canterlot to allow them to create a shield around not only themselves but also other by going into formation around them, they will protect the two remaining ships, the reinforce are the ships responsible for supplying and commanding our MS on the field and the only equestrian ship we have aside the white base. They are armed with Two-Barrel Main Beam Cannon The primary armament of the Reinforce, four two-barrel beam cannons mounted on the side of the ships, it also have four missile launchers and in case a MS pass through the shield a pair of Three-Barreled Defensive machine Guns."

Celestia nodded,"it's good to have a fleet once again even if made mostly of others countries ships, what of our ms forces?"

"Better than before but still sparse, the jegan are much more high spec than the daughtress and our new plasma weaponry, courtesy of sunset work and kshatriya, help give us a clear quality superiority even against the torus but the griffin still hold a crushing numerical superiority, we have only 73 jagan ready but only 51 pilotes free and even then there are barely formed pilots among them, this will let us call back damaged unit during the battle for the pilots to swap them for fresh units but i'm afraid their lack of time for formation will add to the casualties anyway."

Celestia breathed in deeply with her eyes closed,"more dead due to my lacks of foresight, we will fight in a defensive fashion, we keep the loss to a minimum while giving our ace the room to wreak havoc, the heavyarms and wing zero will play a decisive role in the coming battle, they are the one with either the most range and area of effect oriented and the fastest and mobile one, rainbow, pinkie, we are counting on you."

"Yes princess!"rainbow smashed a fist to her chest with a serious face.

"Okie dokie loki."pinkie narrowed her eyes in a serious fashion yet still found a way to look cute because of the pout.

"Does anyone has a question before we pass to the finer details?"asked celestia

"Me,"i raised a hand,"what are we to do with the 500 meter long battleship outside, the mega particle cannon are powerful but the further the target the weaker the piercing power, and the *sigh* the 'technobike' armor is thick, a direct shot at more than 700 meter would only disable a few weapons not the whole thing. It's also capable of carrying around 60 MS and the MS around it prove they don't have anymore room inside so the enemy still have around 60 units that could be anything, we saw torus outside so it's certainly neither leo or aries inside it, or they would have let the torus in instead to spare their fuel."

Luna nodded,"good point kshatriya, it could be another 60 torus or worst, i doubt the griffin would not send at least on units of their favorite branch in military equipment,"everyone was looking at her in worry."a mobile armor."

Twilight looked at celestia,"it make sense, if they allowed milliardo to change its focus for us they'd want to make it count, at least one mobile armor will be deployed in the coming battle."

Celestia smiled and pointed a thumbs at my main body behind her while looking over the peoples the table,"and we will deploy ours to face it, kshatriya is mobile armor sized and also has proved capable of facing one alone,"she turned to me(the MS-BB) can you do it?"

"I'll deal with the mobile armor once it appear but in the meantime i'll help against the aries, i am the most flight attenuated in the sky, at least until rainbow master her MS."i added quickly after seeing dash tense up.

"Bet your ass i will master it, i didn't have it repainted to my color if i didn't intend to!"barked dash with a grin.

"You painted it in what color?"asked applejack.

She smirked and looked up while scratching her nose,"pale blue for the blue part and yellow for the red aside of on the wings, i got those painted in rainbow pattern. With my cutie mark on the shoulders."

"Like me, i also asked the cutie mark on the shoulder and i got it painted pink instead of red, the shield also has a a big 'lets partaaaayyyy!!!!' on it in running gold paint i even had the rocket and missile covered in little message like 'go back home meany' or 'hasta la vista baby' and my favorite 'your mother was an ostrich!' *laugher*"she snorted while laughing while everyone just smiled letting out a mental 'its just pinkie being pinkie'.

Celestia cleared her throat with a smile,"fun aside, let us discuss the finer detail of the upcoming battle, first is the lack of sight of enemy from the north by the scout despite the crystal empire warning, it wouldn't be impossible for milliardo to put in place a waving assault if that is the case we'll need to keep pilots on the backburner to counter him."

__________________________________________________________________________________________

After three hour of planning the ponyville hangar was on full service with MS moving around after being set up, the jegan were armed with the new beam weapon sunset had developed. it was a pretty simple weapon, a beam spray gun capable of 16 shot by magazine called e-pac and offering a stronger power than the machine gun used until now, the weight of the weapon was also lower and allowed the unit to carry more e-pac and still move faster than the daughtress, one of the jegan type-D advantage was their all rounder specs, just changing the equipment allow the jegan to go from sniper to close combat easely. Of course the flight capacity of the jagan were lower than the aries or daughtress fly normally but kshatriya had solved this problem by changing the regular backpack of the jegan by a simplified force silhouette that couldn't be launched and had to be installed while in the hangar but also was cheaper and lighter with the wing capable of folding to reduce its size and allow the jegan to move in tight space. The pack didn't have any additional weapon either but the beam technologie of sunset had finally allowed the equestrian veteran pilots to enjoy having beam saber once more, in the past those weapons relied on magic and could be used for almost forever but now the beam had a limited internal e-pac, each jegan had two beam saber and each saber could function for 6 minute in sword and 30 in dagger form. All those new upgrade and change would be used during the next battle giving the equestria the surprise advantage. Most pilots were nervous with the griffin army numbering four time our own and the adrastea being renowned for its toughness and overwhelming artillery and large hangar allowing the enemy MS to repair and maintenance on the field.

Maud was inside a jegan custom she had made to assist in the hangar, it usually had two big arm with six fingered hand having a thumbs on each side of said hand and four fingers of the same length but they could split in two each giving maud four three fingered arm to work with, it proved very useful to equip the jegan with backpack and displace whole containers of e-cap to the two reinforce for the 'on the field supply' since opening the city during battle would threaten the citizens safety,"i want you to go at least 12% faster, we need to prepare at least four jagan every 10 minute to have time for the verification, you three, what's the statue of the e-cap production chain?!"maud yelled at the three men working a crane to slide the three e-cap inside a skirt pack a jegan would then strap at their side.

They looked up and yelled the answer."last we checked they are limited to 48 packs every hour as to keep the reserve fuel for the ship!"

Maud nodded and turned to a woman who just finished emptied her truck,"cherry, go grab another shipment, we need to stock as many e-cap on the ship to reduce the chance or at least number of resupply team we may have to send once the battle start to drag on!"

"Yes ma'am!"

Kshatriya was giving her weapons a last once over her MS-BB back inside her chest, the lance was painted black with silver highlight and the once round tip was now sharp for close combat. She also moved her wing a bit sensing she would have to make use of them as shield seeing how many enemies there would be around her, she still had a few knick knacks hidens into them, thing who didn't really had a names and weren't put into the description when she woke up as kshatriya the first time, mostly things kshatriya had made herself and made her body a gunpla instead of just a custom kshatriya, hacks had since then sorted those gimmicks into miscellaneous under kshatriya orders.

"My lance is ready and its e-cap loaded. Lucky we had the time to adapt the system the epyon use to power its swords, while my swords just need to be placed back inside my hips for recharge the spear definitely needed the cable with the high mega particle consumption of the Mega Beam Cannon."

"-i have scanned the particle flow inside body and report us as fully operational kshatriya, all the e-cap are full and our reactor have slowed down to reduce nanomachine maintenance operations."

"Good job hacks. Maud i'm going outside, i'll join up my position, if you need help about the reactor inside the station call me immediately, don't want this thing to blow up from a misuse."

"Ok! Also your post is in the middle right? My sister pinkie is there too, i don't ask for favoritism usually, but try to keep her out of trouble."

I looked at her from above my shoulder,"a little late for staying out of trouble, but i'll do my best so she come back unharmed."maud nodded,while kshatriya left with her heavy footstep and the clacking of her spear handle clicking on the floor making a few look at her with smile and a few cheers, kshatriya had become increasingly popular with the spreading of her prosthesis but also the increase in foods production and medical progress born from the technologies
She shared, her willingness to fight at the forefront right at the start of the battle when the enemies where fresh and numerous had also contributed to give her an heroic aura.

______________________________________________________________________________

At other spot in the ponyville hangar the rainbow guide also moved out to their position, and just like for kshatriya cheers accompanied them those even stronger, they were the new hope of equestria, the ace of their reborn army and the ones who would guide them to victory,

______________________________________________________________________________________

Rarity smiled has her shenlong moved with its arms crossed toward the left side of the equestrian army position,she was to join the ground troops who would attack the leo on the ground, her new beam polearm secured behind her gundam she did the final adjustment to her hair by making them into a bun, she was dressed into her military uniform but white this time, she also had a rapier in the cockpit behind her, she took a deep breath and grabbed the handle firmly in her hands her finger-less glove letting her feel the cold touch of the steel, she licked her lips with a smile.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Pinkie was already on top of one of the morning sun hangar, the ship was situated just at the middle of the equestrian army near the center line, she was inside the heavyarms cockpit dressed only of her light blue panties and a loose white tank top, snack spread all over her cockpits, while the kneeling heavyarms looked the same just painted pink, pinkie couldn't help giggling and spilling some of her root beer from the can, -her own personal pre-war stash- when she rethought of the test of her new beam weapons, she had received a few advice from kshatriya about how to use weapons with limited ammo, and while those advice would reduce the party intensity it would allow her to get the party to last longer and that pinkie could get behind.

________________________________________________________________________

Twilight was inside the reinforce on the left center of the battlefield, she wouldn't join the battle yet but would be ready to come out and add to the pressure once the first part of the plan was complete, she wore a skin tight suit with strategically placed armor and an helmet, she also had a gun on her hips and a book strapped on her lower back, she was inside the hangar checking the last of exia sensor before hoping inside the cockpit, she was a little nervous having only done training with it until now but she was confident into the exia specs and her own prediction, she was a tactician fighter, as long as she stayed focused and planned for all possibility she would come on top. 'This time i won't be taken by surprise', she posed her hand on her eye-patch,she hardened her will and breathed deeply,'i should check the left sensor one last time.'she thought.

______________________________________________________________________

Spike looked at twilight from its cockpit screen, he was used to her lets say, 'quirks' when it come to verification, he knew what she lost last time she was neglectful. He was still having nightmare about this days, the pain that accompanied each and everyone of its friend afterward, he himself still felt it to this day, he passed a hand on the jonction of his prosthetic and stumps, they all had lost things that day, it was their drive, the desire to reclaim what they lost when they were maimed, not flesh and bone, not eyesight or beauty not even organs! It was control, control over their lives and their fate. It was roughly reaped from them by those who started this war they were now forced to fight in or be exterminated, spike knew of course he could have left, remade its life among its supposed kin, but their was too many thing here stronger than the will to live, family, friend and love. Its body tensed as he thought of those he cared for while repeating 'mine' like a mantra, slowly its size increased by twenty inches, small scale appeared around its eyes and its sclera turned purple while its pupil were now two thin vertical lines, he calmed and stabilized, it wasn't needed to do it fully, he had trained for almost two year with celestia to master its dragonian greed growth more than any of its kind, it made him colder and more ferocious but also faster and sharper in battle, a born predator. He finally stopped muttering by letting out a last powerful and growled "MINE!"

Applejack was sited in the sandrock, her arms crossed and her eyes closed, she wore the uniform of celestia personal guard and her leg was moving up and down as she breathed steadily stronger, her face grew more and more strained before she finally opened her eyes, pure hate was in them, yet it dissolved when she took a deep breath, she sighed and uncrossed her arm before grabbing the handles, she looked to her side where a half burned hat and a picture of four people in front of a barn was fixed, she smiled peacefully and moved the sandrock to the right side of the equestrian army were she would attack the leo on the ground,"alright you greenhorns, let's show those varmint how we apple's deal with them pesky invaders!" the four heavy armored jegan with bazooka behind her -all apple family member- agreed with a *hoo-ah* before following her.

________________________________________________________

Fluttershy was inside the everfree, since the battle would take place between the canterlot mountain and the everfree it was decided her deathscythe and a group of three jegan with cover op equipment would us the forest to reach behind the enemy's line and wait for an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy at the right moment. She still wore her tight battle suit but she also was armored with a lightweight gundanium armor ordered specifically for her by the princesses to kshatriya, she had a mission of great importance and it could require for her to leave her MS at some point, she closed her eyes and pressed her scarf on her face and inhaled deeply, a deep iron smell filled her senses, the smell of blood, she breathed out slowly her iris now catlike, the world slowed slightly but she knew more than anyone the value of even half a second of reaction time over your enemies.

_____________________________________________________________

Rainbow was atop ponyville in her wing gundam, she was sitting behind a column and out of view from the enemy sight with her dober gun long canon popped against her right shoulder as the cross was on the ground, she held one of the e-pack bullet used by her new weapon, kshatriya had told her the dober gun was a high precision anti tank weapon who needed highly concentrated particle and so needed special ammunition, in the end only 25 of said ammunition were made for today meaning her first 25 shot should to be used at their best by having her playing the marksman. Not that she cared, if there was one thing rainbow had to trust into aside of her speed it would be her precision and trajectory prediction, she was a speedster flyer and a daredevil, she knew how thing moved in the air, were they would be and were her bullet would be. Didn't stop her from asking a little bribe from kshatriya to do it, she of course would have preferred being face to face with those cum guzzling cock sucker felching cunt of grifonian, but she still would be more than happy to blow them up from afar, as long as she got to kill those dirty rap-she slapped her face with violence, the throbbing in her cheek made her calm down and she just noticed how her jaw hurt from clenching her teeth. She hated when she remembered it, she was supposed to be their, to defend her, she had promised her parents and yet..."fuck, should've taken the booze at the party, now i feel like shit..."she noticed the tear at the corner of her eyes and brushed a hand on them with anger,*tch*"crying over it is useless!" she grabbed her handles throwing the bullet up an looking it rise before catching it during its fall and shoving it inside the dober gun chamber and arming it,"if people could get stronger by crying, life would be pretty easy after all."she said her gundam glowering under the column shadow.

________________________________________________________________

luna and celestia were aboard the white base, luna into the bertigo cockpit and celestia the command deck, both wore their military get up, a uniform but mixed with armors part from their first campaign. luna bertigo was now fully beam equipped and kshatriya had been generous enough to load it with a high capacity e-cap and two cabled beam sword so she could fight for extended period of time without recharge like she could with magic weapons. celestia for her part wouldn't have the opportunity to try her gundam which kshatriya had called stargazer which celestia them changed to sun-bearer, her gundam was incomplete and luna had convinced her that a full time general was better than an half assed units on the field. so here was celestia once again responsible for leading the troops yet not among them, in the past she had always guided her soldier to victory by doing her part as they said, having to sit on a comfy chair while other were fighting was filling her with shame and self disgust, yet she knew her responsibility was vital, an army without proper command was doomed and with her experience and multitasking skill she knew she could draw out the full potential of her troops, yet it was with the heart heavy that she looked at the dot indicating the enemy aries on the radar moving forward to their position, she once more deemed the mask of the eon old princess with an unyielding will.

"enemy are closing in, to you battle stations, be ready for interception!"

and so the battle of ponyville started.
