old version of prologue, was edited and published anew, i keep the old one because i know some peoples (like me) dislike when chapter are deleted during rewrite and editing.

prologue (no-edit go for the edited one.)

Hokori wasureru a young caucasian woman with golden hair and green eye she was 1.70 meter tall and had a tanned skin all of that was clashing with her names because she was found without known parent and raised as an orphan in japan, the best theory given to her about her origin was a mother who simply had her in japan and left after leaving her in the trash can she was found in, it was of course a scandal and made the turn of the world but in the end it didn't really matter for her now.

She was simply living like any others person, working a small dead end job and living in a crappy yet not insalubre apartment, she didn't have friend but neither enemies nor even bad people living nearby her. In short her life was not horrible but far from perfect but still good for someone with her origin. Most of her free time was spent watching animes especially animes with mecha. In those animes, the shitier your past the more important you become, like a perfectly balanced karma.

The shittier your life, the stronger you are, and all the main character where people with shitty past, all normal peoples would give up and cower to the side with a past like them but not the hero, they seemed empowered by their suffering and it was what forced her respect, she wasn't like that,shegave up, she was born as a fucking nobody and would die as a fucking nobody.

She hated it, so when she read on the net of cosplayer disappearing in convention because of a merchant sending people into place where opportunities for adventure where plentyfull, she prepared. She gathered her money and spent every minutes of free time working on her cosplay, her own gunpla, a modified kshatriya painted black and silver using technologies of almost all the gundam animes. It wasn't perfect but still was the worst nightmare of those who would dare face it. She started going into convention, she was very successful her cosplay being hard to miss with her four wing and deep black paint and silver engraving but its only at the sixth one she found what she wanted.

Its stand was filled with many object, but what grabbed her attention was the gn sword, it was of course a bait, one of the thing Hokori wasureru was good at detecting was bait and this was one. On the other hand, one of the thing Hokori wasureru lacked was tact its why she simply walked up to the merchant disguised as Jay Null and said.

"Hi, i want to be sent somewhere, preferably somewhere where there's action."

The marchant just stared at her for a few minutes before laughing it's prosthetic arm banging on the table.

He looked at her with a grin washing a few nonexistent tear."*few* it was a long time since i laughed like that, but in all seriousness." it's visage losing all amusement."you sure are cocky coming up to me like that and even making demand." he grinned."then again i am in a hurry too it seem, you see i need a new identity, something out of the way so i can make myself a little less remarked, if people like you can just found me so easily it mean more important people can too, i'll need to lay low for a while. So, want to make a trade? Your body and identity in exchange of your own little bit of universe to play in hmm? No string attached of course, no trap no monitoring, but also no safety net, and of course,"he grabbed the gn sword and put it under the table."no parting gift."its grin was showing mischief but not malice."so?"

Normally people would take the time to thinks thing though, even me but not this time because the first thought who entered my mind when the doctor j said those word was:

"Mission accepted."

And Hokori wasureru was no more me, i was Kshatriya.

prologue(edited)

Hokori Wasureru. A young caucasian woman with golden hair and green eyes, she was 1.70 meter tall and had tan skin, all of that was clashing with her name. The reason is, is because she was found without a known parent and raised as an orphan in japan, the best theory given to her about her origin was a mother who simply had her in japan and left after leaving her in the trash can she was found in, it was a scandal and made the turn of the world but in the end it didn't really matter for her now.

She was simply living like any other person, working a small dead end job and living in a crappy yet not unsanitary apartment, she didn't have any friends but not any enemies either. Nor even bad people living nearby her. In short her life was not horrible but it was far from perfect as it was still good for most with a similar origin. Most of her free time was spent watching anime’s, especially animes with Mechs. In those animes, the more shit your past the more important you become, like perfectly balanced karma.

The more shit your life is, the stronger you are, this is a true fact in most cases, and all the main characters were people with shitty pasts. When times got rough, all the ‘normal’ people would give up and cower to the side. But those who suffered horribly, those who have gone against much adversity without breaking, they are empowered by their suffering as it makes them much stronger mentally, far more so than many could believe, Hokori wasn't like that, she gave up, she was born as a fucking nobody and would die as a fucking nobody.

She hated it, so when she read on the net about cosplayers disappearing in conventions because of a merchant sending people into a place where opportunities for adventure were plentiful, she prepared.

She gathered her money and spent every minute of free time working on her cosplay, her own gunpla, a modified kshatriya painted black and silver using technologies of almost all the gundam anime’s. It wasn't perfect but still was the worst nightmare of those who would dare face it. She started going into convention, she was very successful with her cosplay being hard to miss with her four wings and deep black paint and silver engraving but it’s only at the sixth one she found what she wanted.

Its stand was filled with many wares/objects, but what grabbed her attention was the gn sword, it was of course a bait, one of the things Hokori Wasureru was good at detecting was bait and this was one. On the other hand, one of the things Hokori Wasureru lacked was tact. Which is why she simply walked up to the merchant disguised as Jay Null and said

"Hi, I want to be sent somewhere, preferably somewhere where there's action." The marchant just stared at her for a few minutes before laughing their ass off, his prosthetic arm banging on the table.

He looked at her with a grin drying off a few nonexistent tears."*few* it has been a long time since I laughed like that, but in all seriousness." His visage suddenly lost all amusement." You sure are cocky coming up to me like that and even making a demand." he grinned. "Then again I am in a hurry too it seems, you see I need a new identity, something out of the way so I can make myself a little less remarkable, if people like you can just find me so easily it means more important people can too, I'll need to lay low for a while. So, want to make a trade? Your body and identity in exchange for your own universe to play in hmm? No string attached of course, no trap, no monitoring, but also no safety net, and of course… "he grabbed the gn sword and put it under the table. "No parting gift."His grin was showing mischief but not malice."so?"

Normally people would take the time to think things through, even me but not this time because the first thought that entered my mind when the doctor said that word was: "Mission accepted."

Then Hokori Wasureru was no more. Then there was Kshatriya.

Target: Earth

After some time, we successfully reached the side of the moon from which we could see the planet and the sun, it was strangely like earth, plenty of sea and green continent, what was different though...

'how can it be so close?!'

-answer, unknown. This moon is at exactly 100.000 km away whether earth moon is 384,400 km. What is troubling is this round number, 100.000 km, it's extremely unlikely to be natural yet no control system seem to be built in the satelit. Even if a system to propel an entire moon would already be hard to believe.

'maybe it only a fortuitous thing, maybe the native metric system give a "moonstruck" distance betwen their moon and planet ahahah.'

-........

'eugh fine. Is there any communications nearby?'

-searching......no communication in range, but i do perceive a network just below the planet atmosphere, it's too alien for a connection from here.

'then let's get closer.' i powered my thruster and launched forward, at my speed it would take days to reach earth but i didn't really care, i could practice 3d flight in the meantime and it's exactly what i did, i literally danced in space pulling move from the gundam franchise one after the others, mainly the ones from kshatriya like the spinning she does when engaging into beam saber fight.

-field of asteroids on the radar.

'uh?' i stabilised myself and focused on the radar, making a cameras lock on and zoom on said asteroids. There was a few big one but nothing that would not be erased in the atmosphere if it reached the planet. But they could be used as practice targets.

'hacks, what about some firing practice?'

-confirmation, good idea. Practice would increase our efficiency if contact with native proved to be violent.

'jeez lets hope not, i want to have some adventure but it seem a bit early. Anyway, let's start with the wrist gun.'

I pointed my arm to one of the asteroid and willed the shot.

*psfiew* the beam was short and focused, it also destroyed the small asteroid i aimed for, the blast wasn't impressive but the feeling of firing a beam from my body, was...

'u-u-ung A-AHHH!!!'

'ah...'

'ah...'

-kshatriya? Your emotional state is very anormal are you alright?

'y-yes, i think i just came a little . It was just soooo good.'

-acknowledged. I think?

'l-lets just keep practicing, it will pass .'

It didn't before the twentieth shot.

'fuu....fuuu.....fuuuu......'

'alright, i'm good.'

-your emotional state is indeed back to normal.

'it's just so cool and rewarding, i always wanted to fire beam and now i can!' i twirled on myself my hands in the air.

'let's get a little serious here, hacks what about some music?'

-very well, any title in particular?

'dream from gundam X please.'

I extended my right arm to the left in front of me before swiping it to the right, my wing flared and and the 40 funnels took off leaving in their wake their trademark line of color, for me it was a green trail since my gundam beam and thruster trails were green.

I willed them to fly in pattern first and shoot in sync, the funnel obliterated my target, most gundam used up to 20 funnel but i had 40 so there was no side the asteroid wasn't shot at. I then let them fly in autonome and they started moving erratically like in the gundam series, it was probably a automatic dodge fonction, still they stayed pointed toward whatever my target was until i directly ordered them to move. then they would reorient themselves to use their main thruster and move faster. I aimed for one of the biggest asteroid and willed no, ordered a full continuous beam barrage, and the 40 beam pierced my target before i ordered the funnels to move into a deadly ballet, slicing the asteroid to pieces.

'now their main functions.'

I aimed at another asteroid and ordered my funnel to use their beam shield, the funnel started spinning on themself and letting out a short beam who formed a spiraling shield in front of them. I then sent them forward at full speed, the asteroid was riddled with hole, i ordered 10 funnel to place themselves around it and activate the beam barriere right through the asteroid, and it cut it clean in half. I was grinning madly.

'yes! This is what i wanted, this is the power to change the world!'

I called the funnel back and pointed two wings forward, four mega particle cannons started building energy.

'moyasu!'(burn!)

I fired at the biggest asteroid. The four beam shot out erasing all asteroid just by passing close to them, the impact was like in the anime, nothing then an explosion of historical proportion as the whole lot of asteroids near my target was wiped out. There was a giant empty sector into the field of asteroid on my radar.

'Sore wa mada owatte inai!'(it's not over yet!)

I grabbed my beam saber, all my beam saber i felt like a demon armed with my six green and wide blade, i charged and slashed, stabbed, dodged. I danced in the field of asteroid. it was like the world moved in slow motion.

-bio sensor activated, all system are enhanced to peak capacity all the frame standard enhancement are on.

'alright!'

I sped up and i lived, i lived like i never lived before, i was flowing from target to target like the reaper my blade slicing clean right through them.

'hacks more power! I want to go faster.'

-very well, switching thruster from minovsky particle to mega particle. Would you like to set a maximum mega particle spent in pourcentage?

'20%! Now let's do this! AHAHAH!'

I sped, up my thruster trail ten time bigger i placed my six swords in front of me and pushed right through the field.

My sword erased everything on contact and protected me from the biggest asteroid while the smaller ones had no chance of ever scratching my gundanium armor let alone damage it.

It was short lived thought, after barely 12 minute of mad dashing i started to slow down and my sword went out.

'already?! Surely 20% would last longer right?'

-correction, you have increased the power output of the beam sabers and did so just after firing four mega particle cannons and using the funnels beam shield, all 40 of them.

'oh, how much energy do we have left?'

-answer, 81% kshatriya.

'how long till we're full again?'

-calculating....if we remain as we are using only the thinking unit we regenerate 1% every minutes if we use the thruster 1% every 3 minutes. For a recharge time while using the thrusters of 20% per hours

'op, just op. Alright i was done anyway. let's resume our way to earth.'

-correction, it isn't earth.

'yeah well until someone tell us its name its earth.'

_______________________________________________________

It took us a fucking week to reach the atmosphere.

'they better have a very good alien first contact party plan program. Or like i like to call it a facppp!'

-kshatriya, i think i can start studying the world wide network of communication from here.

Ignoring hacks blatant attempt to gloss over my idiocrasy,'then do that, maybe will get info on where we are.'

-very well, the network seem to be powered via an unknown energy generated by the planet itself but is focused and guided through tower all over the planet and forming a web. It is not a communication network more like a cage. Only one sector lack any of those tower.

'where?'

-sending the geometric coordinates.

I moved toward the sector who decided to be different from the rest of the world it seem. It was small, a very small patch of land but then again i say that from space.

'i don't suppose we can observe them from here?'

-confirmation, the sensor does not provide a good enough view from the ground to do a proper recording, but picture are possible. Taking a few now.

I observed the pictures and it was weird, nothing except a few cities, all surrounded with wall and connected by giant road themself protected by wall, there was what looked like mobile suit but seeing them from above wasn't helping me study them or their possible strength. What troubled me was the rather peaceful state inside of the cities, those people were probably fighting a defensive war and they were successful doing so, at least from here.

'did you notice anything hacks?'

-confirmation, i observed multiple MS(mobil suit) with trace of hasty repair and while the cities are peaceful they are not thriving either, the population is scarce probably because the resource are too. and there is a lack of capital, i did notice this mountain city but the presence of totally different MS and its overwhelming armement suggest this country has lost its capital before successfully building an efficient defense.

'i don't like that, why are they the only one without tower? Why are they alone against the world? They seem to be a pacific country since they opted for defense instead of counter attack so why would they be targeted so much?'

-answer, unknown, i recommend observing the situation an- kshatriya i detect movement at the surface.

'what kind?'

-the violent kind, a group of MS is closing on one of a walled town. they are the same model from the captured capital.

'...*grin* lets does this, target:earth!'

-acknowledgment, entering teardrop shape for atmospherique entry.

next chapter, the kshatriya will enter its first fight and make contact with the native, will a hero rise to the world and if so will he be known as such.

discover that and much more in the next episode: "The Shooting Star She Saw!"

The Shooting Star She Saw

Princess luna's POV

"Close the gate! And send all the troop on the wall! I want the artillery ready to hit them when i want them too!"

A tall woman with hair and a tail like the night sky was giving orders left and right while moving quickly along the road, she had a dark blue skin and pony ears poking out of her hair. All around her peoples with the same additional body part and a wide array of skin color were running to their posts while she moved toward the hangar, she didn't know how the griffin knew of her being here with the supplies but they got their timing good, while they had supplies they didn't even had the time to use them and repair the damaged knight frames and artillery weapons guarding the town, they would fight this battle with only her, the guards she brought and the few weapons on the wall that still worked.

'this town was made to be defended but not against such odd, the scout -those who came back at least- report of at least 20 Aries and a Grandeene in support, its not a simple attack, it's an invasion force who intend to take and keep the town, we cannot afford the loss of more land.'

"Lieutenant dash!"

"Yes princess?!" a blue skinned woman with rainbow hair and tail was looking at the princess from her position on top of a giant robot shoulder, she had spot of grease on her light blue military suit, the suit also had a few armored part like the right shoulder, the legs and the right arm while a smaller piece of armor was added to the chest to protect the heart and lunges, it was an armor who wouldn't hinder movement and protect only the arm used to attack and the mean of movement.

The robot she was standing on was a knight frame, a blue Daughtress Flyer one of the three variant of knight frame used by the royal guard of equestria all were equipped with heat sword and shield and had a 90mm machine gun. A newer model, the daughtress neo was in development but yet to be finished even less produced.

"I want you and the other flyer ready, we are outnumbered 2 to 1 at least and i can't afford to have our group pestered by the enemies aries, make sure your flying group is ready for hit and run counter tactics instead of the direct fight tactics."

Lieutenant dash made a bitter face,"very well princess, i'll got my battalion ready and warned!"

Lieutenant dash reluctance for the chosen tactic wasn't a proof of cowardice, just a realistic viewpoint. Daughtress flyer were more efficient into landing a sudden heavy assault thanks to their higher top speed and better armor. They could land among enemy line and break their formation, but as a Both ground and air unit they had less agility, stability and precision than the aries in the air. And the aries would probably dance around them and use a hit and run tactics and when outnumbered the Casualties could rapidly increase.

"I will make sure the unicorn troops assist you with precision shot, and i will be there too."

Lieutenant dash slammed her fist on her chest."yes princess!"

Luna moved to the next part of the hangar to rejoin the unicorn troops. They were all rounder with better detection system and using Daughtress Command to send the data they gathered to close unit and assist them in the fight, the 2 of them had bazooka which would be useful against the Grandeene if the earth pony troops Daughtress Weapon 500mm canon wasn't enough.

'i hope it is, the resource needed to remake ammunition is becoming scarce. I hope headsearcher shimmer research on plasma technology show result soon.'

After gathering her troop and made sure everyone had their orders she moved to her own knight frame, a relic of equestria age of glory, a Bertigo of her own design named luz de la luna . It was once armed with mana cannon and sword but the negate-net forced her to switch weapon to machine gun and heat sword. She stepped into the cockpit and grabbed the handles.

"Bertigo luz de la luna lancement!"

The knight frame powered up, the new Fusion Reactor used to give him energy struggling to make it work.

'cursed is this negate-net, i miss my old ether reactor.'

The knight frame came out of the hangar followed by the rest of the daughtress, 3 flyer, 2 command and 4 weapon models.

"All of you listen closely, while we have the wall support fire the enemy also as a Grandeen artillery backing them so in the end we are still outnumbered 2 to 1, for me its sound pretty unfair, i mean they are a bunch of grub and we are the elites of equestria, let's show them not to underestimate use!"

""AHOO!!""

While the pony we're moving toward the wall, luna looked at the sky, she could see the brightest shooting star she ever saw from here it almost seemed to glow a fresh apple green.

'are you sending me a sign my dear night? If you could talk to me what would you tell me?'

_______________________________________________________________

Kshatriya POV

'leeeeeeeeroy jeeeeeeenkins!!!!!!!'

I screamed as i was spinning toward earth in my teardrop shape, it was so exciting, i was all giddy at the idea to be on my way to my first gundam fight, and i was ready to do it right, i had poses to strike and moves to pull off aplenty from my years of watching gundam!

I couldn't see how the situation was progressing on the surface since it was a little too hot for me to take a peek outside my wings but i am sure it was going alright, they survived without me for a while so they should be alright for the few minutes i need to land. In the meantime i was checking my body for thing the nanobot would have a need to repair after my little frenzy among the asteroid but it came out blank, i was built to last it seem.

So instead i simply looked through the very very extensive data i had about gundam just to satiate my fangirl need of robot.

-update, deploying wings in 18 minutes to amorce slow down, no landing programed switching directly to atmospheric flight when possible.

Just a little more and i'll be entering my first battle! This world will know the might of kshatriya the gundam!

________________________________________________________________

Its Name: Gundam!

Princess luna POV

"To me! Rally to me! Stay together and stand strong!"

*boom!*

The ground exploded near her as luna rallied her troops. She turned to the aries who was attempting a surprise attack to her left and opened fire *vreeeeeeeeee**boom!* her machine gun tore him apart before making him explode.

She had lost 5 soldiers already and only round 15 minute of fight had passed, the battle had started like any others, her soldier couldn't overwhelm the enemies aries but still destroyed 6 before things started to go south, three new model appeared, they were a black knight frame who could switch form from a plane to a knight frame, and whose performance where much higher than the aries and daughtress. Only her Bertigo could still rival them.

'tch! If only they weren't three of them! I could at least have holded them off the troops'

The situation was dire, they had appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the remaining wall weapon before attacking her troops and they were now without cover against the grandeene artillery.

'what will celestia do without me?! Is equestria truly lost?!'

"Princess! You have to retreat!" the voice of lieutenant dash was coming from her knight frame speaker, her own unit was damaged having lost the left arm and wing blocking her on the ground, her two wingman were shot down and crashed into now enemy territory, the griffin are not known to make prisoner. The earth pony troops had lost 3 of its four man and the last one was barely holding and had no 500mm ammunition left, the two unicron unit were still in fonction and holding the enemy off with their machine gun but had lost their bazooka even her left hand Night-Strike had lost its two bazooka.

"I will do no such thing lieutenant! We just need to push them back!"

"There's no way will push them back, we are outnumbered and outgunned, we need to report those new unit to the rest of equestria."

"But the citizen-"

"Those new models bombarded the entire wall there is no more citizens!"

"We-we..." luna slammed her hand on her dashboard. Before she could give the orders to retreat she heard static on the speaker.

"Test, test. Hyaaaa, hello there do you hear me? Hacks do they hear me?"

"-yes they are hearing you kshatriya."

"Good! Good! Hello everyone, i am kshatriya, just a passing by weapon for hire, you wouldn't require my service perhaps?"

"W-what the hell are you doing on this line?! Its an equestria army only frequency how did you get the access code?!" the voice of lieutenant dash confirmed luna hadn't started hearing voice in her despair.

"Oh my was that supposed to be a private line? Sorry the security wasn't that big i thought you wouldn't mind."

"W-what?! Not big?! It the direct line to the princess unit why you little-"

"What can you offer in term of fire power?" luna interrupted her lieutenant, she didn't like the idea to use mercenaries but she even less liked the idea if leaving behind her troops and running her tail between her legs.

"Straight to the point, i like that. As for your answer it depend on how much you give me and the nature of the mission, cover fire for retreat will be cheap but total annihilation of the enemy is a lot more pricey."

Luna narrowed her eyes,"how much for annihilation and protection of my remaining forces?"

"...well i'm in a good day and i like your straightforwardness, so just a space among this town hangar and the occasion to speak with you would be good enough for this time."

"Uh? Are you serious?" luna was choked. nothing, this payment was literally nothing, a spot into an anyway unused hangar and a talk she herself would have wanted.

"Yep, but its only this time though, so deal?"

"Deal." some say the devil will often come and make a deal with you but here luna was feeling like she made a deal with a child, a happy go lucky child.

________________________________________________________________________

Kshatriya POV

'see? i told you she would agree.'

-correction, our offer was by far too generous to refuse, the fire power they gained by giving us this space is overwhelming, we could have asked for the whole town.

'maybe but i'm not about to ruin any possible relation with my first client.'

-question, why are you selling your service kshatriya?

'because a man once said 'if your good at something never do it for free', if i start fighting for free some nutsack will think i haveto fight for free or that its weird to compensate me for it later. and no way in hell am i turning into a figurative battle slave.'

-question, am i to consider us mercenaries from now on?

'with moral, mercenary yes but with moral.'

-very well, what about the promised assistance?

'let's go with the basic i'll just kill them using the wrists beam gun and beam saber.'

-engaging battle mod, Multi Lock-on System in use.

'nah, let me try to shoot them myself. i could use unassisted shooting practice.'
__________________________________________________________________

3rd person POV

the equestrian force where using the remain of the wall to hold their position as the aries flew over head and unleashed volley of bullet in a constant barrage to prevent any counter attack, the three new griffin model had landed near the grandeen and waited for the aries to finish the job.

that's then that a aries was grazed by a green bolt passing right near its side. there was a few moment where all those around wandered what just happened until a whole barrage of green bolt started raining on the aries. they where tons of them, the aries didn't stand a chance as they tried to dodge what they could see only too late, rapidly the aries number passed from 14 to 13 to 6 to 0. the new models had spotted where the strange bolt had came from, a forest on the left side of the town from them and immediately took off, but the things literally bursted out of the wood, green fired bursting from behind its hulking frame, it was gigantic, almost twice as big as their taurus, four enormous wings in its back and from its all black form only one green glowing eye sticking out. from its right hand a wide blade of green fire burst forth which the monster swept left to right, the closest taurus tried to block with its heat blade only for the the blade of green fire to cut clean right through its weapon and body right under the shoulders.

the taurus exploded and the monster burst from its smoke, dashing with insane speed to the second taurus, this one didn't even have time to block before the monster stabbed its clawed left hand right through its torso and cockpit before throwing it to the side where it's exploded, the grandeen seeing the sudden struggle of the taurus opened fire, the four shell connected strongly against the black monster but when the smoke cleared the monster was finally seen, a gigantic knight frame with four tick wing closer to being shields stood above its shoulders, two arm ending with clawed hand and a cyclop head. it was intact, the black monster was covered in grey but slowly the grey disappeared returning it to its hard to see black. only the sword's light allowed the monster to be seen, the last taurus took out its machine gun and opened fire, in the meantime the grandeen turret seemed to need time to reload, time kshatriya wasn't generous enough to give them, she dashed forward, wing bashin the last taurus to oblivion and killing its pilot through the sheer shock created by the blow. as the taurus fell to the ground her thruster powered up even more and in 2 second she was on the grandeen, she pointed her sword at her enemy, she was too close of the grandeen for it to fire at her.

a shockingly feminine voice came out from the black monster,"surrender, my beam saber can easily pierce your armor."

the griffin on board didn't know what to do, if they let themselves be captured the empire would have their head but having the grandeen destroyed would be a big loss for the griffin empire. in the end, they powered the grandeen and tried to flee.

"wrong answer."

from the wing of the black monster came a few small objects but before anyone could see anything tiny laser chirurgical pierced the grandeen, the beam simply aimed at any griffin inside, the grandeen plating being unable to hide them from the kshatriya sensor. soon the grandeen powered down lacking any crew and having suffered minimal damage.

after a few second of silence princess luna having witnessed the whole thing spoke out.

"wha-what are you?"

the kshatriya looked down on the equestrian unit on the ground from her position above the grandeen,

the black monster turned to her,"i am a gundam."

The Gundam kshatriya

Kshatriya POV

After telling i was a gundam to luna she had one of her guard guide me to the hangar who had luckily survived the taurus bombardment. I was asked to wait for the princess and so i did, one of the good thing about being a machine is i can lock my limbs in position making standing still very easy. then again, making me wait 2 hours was a bit much.

"Sorry for the wait gundam." luna said while walking inside the hangar in her bertigos.

"Kshatriya, i am a gundam but my name is kshatriya."

"Well met then kshatriya, i am princess luna co-ruler of equestria, i am very thankful for your assistance out there. We also secured not only a still well kept knight frame of the new model of the griffin but also a grandeen. Those are invaluable in out time."

Kshatriya shrugged,"your welcome, it was nothing big."

Luna cam out of her knight frame, and looked at the gundam with an eyebrow raised,"why are you doing that with your knight frame? Won't you come out?"

"I can't, this is my body."

"Beg pardon?"

"It's my body. I don't pilot it, it's literally my body."

Luna's eyes widened."How is that possible?!"

"Mostly by downloading my consciousness inside it."

"Isn't it painful?"

"I don't remember, it was 23 years ago, years i spent sleeping."

"Then you aren't aware of the present situation world wide?"

"I never was, being an alien and all that."

"....truly?"

"Yes."

Luna just fell on a nearby chair her head in her hand.

"I need a drink."

"Bad idea, we still need to talk, i killed around 25 person to get this chat and i will have it damnit."

*sigh*"sure, i'll just put my common sense to rest in the meantime. What do you want to talk about?" she said crossing her arms and legs while glaring at me.

"Good, why not start with the world state you talked about earlier?"

"War, total war. For centuries my sister and equestria as a whole used its power over magic to prevent any conflict to arise. This ceased to be 2 years after my return from banishment-"

"Banishment?"

"I'll explain later. Two years after my return the world balance was destroyed when an evil rodent destroyed the tree of harmony turning the world mana wild and dangerous, we tried to counter it but by a lucky hazard, the griffon empire revealed a new technologie able to prevent mana from condensing and nullifying its effect on the physical world. This also had the side effect of preventing mana related technologie and all magic as as a whole to work near those machine."

"Were those perhaps the tower all over the land?"

"Yes, those dreadful tower are used by not only the griffon empire but the whole world. Without our magic equestria is unable to stop the world leaders to go to war, even our weapon had to be reworked, my bertigo energy source was replaced but compared to the old ether reactor those fusion reactor are trash. Even our mana canons and sword had to be switched for more mechanical weapons. Equestria was known and respected for its thaumaturgie, without it we are but a juicy prey for the less magic relient country like the griffon and minautour, even the yaks have better suited military unit than us!"

I stayed silent as she slammed a fist on her knee. After a few deep breath she calmed down enough to continue.

"It has been 12 years since the start of the war, we have been losing ground every years, resource are scarce and our population number reducing accordingly, i would have never thought i would one day fear the extinction of my peoples..."

"....you could hire me you know? I don't' like working for free but i'm far from greedy. And i sure as hell am worth my wage."

"What can one knight frame do in a war implying hundred thousand?"

"First its mobile suit, knight frame is cool but not correct."

"Okaaayyyy?"she said with a raised eyebrow.

"And second i am far stronger than i look, while i cannot be everywhere at all time i can help a lot. You saw me outside right?" luna nodded."well it was nothing, i am far stronger, honestly from what i saw today those griffon have nothing on me."

Her eyes narrowed."Don't be fooled by what you saw today, the griffon does not take equestria seriously anymore, those new griffin model were sent to deal with me but they aren't the best they got, the griffin rely more on castle frame than mobile suit."

"Do those castle frame happen to be like very big knight frame?"

"Yes."

"Then its called mobile armor please."

"*sigh*fine if you want. But it doesn't solve our problems."

"Mobile armor aren't that tough, they often are so big they cannot really dodge and always have a weak point. Either a blind spot like the grandeen who cannot fire at close range or the legs who if even one is destroyed the whole thing fall."

"I am still surprised of how you fought it, none of us ever thought of going close to such a monstrosity."

"Not a bad choice with you lack a weapons to breach its hull."

She looked away,"i told you we had to replace our mana related weapons for whatever we could get our hands on. And about weapon, how did you use yours? It looked a lot like mana sword and mana cannons bolt but i didn't feel any mana."

"Sorry to break it to you princess but not every planet as magic, mine didn't so all my weapons are technology only."i said shrugging with my arms crossed.

"Really?! Then perhap-"

"Nope, not giving the blueprint, my peoples weapons technologie are not for sell or trade."

She threw her arm upward while rolling her eyes."oh come on! You are a mercenary, there must be a way to convince you?"

"Nope to dangerous, instead just hire me, their must be a way for you to at least stabilize yourself enough in this war no?"

She glared at me, "and you think i would tell such thing to a mercenary i just met? If you are a spy it would be akin to finishing equestria off and i would never be this foolish."

"So what? We just part way and i come back when only one of your city is left and you have nothing more to lose?"

She nibbled on her thumbnail,"i can't simply trust you. Don't get me wrong i want to have you on our side, you could be our last hope. but i just can't..."

'jeez, she must be really desperate, i can almost see her hair go white!'

-confirmation, the situation of her peoples and country seem to push her over the edge and prevent her to properly thing and act, she need us but doesn't know how to assure herself our loyalty, she has nothing to bound us to her and too much to lose if we betray her.

'i see...maybe a show of goodwill? Something that would prove we aren't enemy at least?'

-it could work, but what? We already loaned our fire power but it wasn't enough, perhaps something with longer lasting effect.

'a gift of technologie, nothing near our best tech and neither a weapon but still enough to earn us their faith the thing is what, shield? New frame? Material?'

-proposition, the princess luna as openly expressed her despise for the equestrian mobile suit source of energy.

'yes that could work, not the GN drive or minovsky reactor but maybe the ultracompact fusion reactor could work, is their mobile suit compatible though.'

I turned my head to the bertigo of the princess luna and a beam shot out of my eyes scanning the whole thing,

-scanning.....answer, its compatible with minimal change.

"What did you do?!" the angry voice of luna reached my ear or whatever i used to process sound now.

"Checking if my idea could work, anyway, i have an offer to present you."

Luna still eyed me warily at me,"what offer?"

"A gift to show i am not an enemy spy and actually willing to have a long lasting relation with equestria."

She twisted her head to the side,"go on."

"The plan for a new and more potent source of energy for your mobile suit. The ultra compact fusion reactor."

"How much more powerful are we talking here?"

-calculating.....energy level multiplied by 5

"5 time better."

"Truly? that much better? And you'll give us the blueprint just like that?" she actually sounded surprised."what about your technologie no up for sell or trade?"

"I'll be honest, it's not the best energy source i have, maybe the third or fourth best at most, but it's the only one that cannot be weaponized too much it would threaten me gravely. I don't lie to myself and believe i am unbeatable, a sufficiently large army could tire me out and force me to retreat even hurt me after they got used to my fighting style and flight pattern, but if my weapons spread it will happen much sooner than I'd like. i just got this body and came to this land, i lack resource and support to risk being gravely damaged."

"I suppose i can understand not wanting to spread around the only things that can kill you, just like i couldn't trust you without doubt you have no reason to trust us either."

"You couldn't? Does it mean?"

"Don't get your hope up gundam kshatriya, first we'll test this new reactor of yours and if it truly work we'll ready for the operation "new rise", and you'll be part of it. For a hefty reward i can assure you."

"YES! My first client as a mercenary!" with my hand on my knee i lowered into a bow."happy to work with you, please take care of us from now on!"

Luna stayed silent before letting out a, "YOUR FIRST WHAT AS A WHAT?!"
__________________________________________

Breakthrough

Luna was pretty angry i didn't tell her i was new to this job, she did calm down after i pointed out she didn't ask my past experience before hiring me so it ended alright. After our discussion she told me the city was to be abandoned, they simply didn't have the mean to keep it or the population to keep it active so we would leave through the walled road with the taurus and grandeen leaving ahead of us, the wall are actually a creation of a mare named sunset shimmer. when a city is disconnected it unbuild itself and the materials from it are slowly sent back to the connected city still in use along the roads wall, from what i understood its possible using a special source of energy that while not nullified is severely weakened and when before it was some almighty defense tool it now only can power their city defense, they also don't want to risk putting them into a mobile suit and lose them in battle so instead they are kept hidden into a city called ponyville, the new capital of equestria.'

"Hey! mercenary, you ready to move?"

'i turned to the lieutenant named rainbow dash, she was far from nice with me but i did mess with her when we first met so i'll let her poke me for a while.'

"I am ready lieutenant dash, will i still be flying over head to have a clear line if view?"

"Yeah, we couldn't repair my daughtress so you are our eyes for this, don't. mess. this. up!"

"Aye aye lieutenant~~"

She grumbled and left to her daughtress while the guards near us laughed.

-advice, antagonizing our newest allies may not be a good idea.

'don't worry hack, it's just family friendly stuff.'

I moved outside soon followed by the damaged daughtress of lieutenant dash, the vertigo of princess luna and the three daughtress still operational who pulled all that would be kept from the city, weapons, damaged MS. The pilots who had lost their MS would drive the grandeen home ahead of us since the city we moved toward was aware of the situation and would let them in without luna. beside they had wounded people with them and they needed health care in fear their situation aggravated. I thought there was no one left alive aside of us inside the city but turn out that while a part of the citizens had left those who were assigned to the wall defenses stayed, equestria didn't use to have an army beyond the guards and relied on draft. The drafted citizens had to be formed and it was done by posting them on the safest military posts, the walls. From time to time they would train to pilot MS but with equestria limited machines only the bests were picked.

We passed the gate and after walking a few minute i looked behind to see the wall surrounding the city crumble and slowly retract on itself.

"*whistle* princess, even after you told me i had a hard time believing it but it's true, the wall seem almost alive."

"This is the greatest accomplishment of head researcher sunset shimmer, it's why our wall never truly fall, they are damaged but if too much damage is taken the wall can literally escape and leave an empty city easy to retake later, not that we are at this point yet."

"-ingenious, but can the wall be reformed later or do it need to be built by hand?"

"It can, but it need balises to know how and where to expand. We also need to dig out the space for the weapons to be placed using special tools."

'cool, this wall is impressive, hacks do you think it's possible to replicate this technology?'

-negative, the wall control system, material and even source of energy is either not in the scanner range or too alien.

'bummer, I'm actually surprised they have technologies we don't but use MS from gundam...'

-correction, they are using MS looking like the one from gundam but their inners workings is very different, the bertigo of princess Luna seem to be the most advanced despite being the oldest pointing toward a loss of technologies along the years and even then It seem to have used a system of gems sending informations from the cockpit to the limbs probably using magic but it was short-circuited and now use simple cables.

'so they used wireless technology to control their MS? Don't seem to be a good idea...'

-affirmative, It probably wasn't and and still isn't, their rework of the MS Control worked but the motor are not used to receive such direct and strong order and it make precise control a nightmare. Combined with the low output of the reactor used by equestria it's not a surprise how even the bertigo of the princess had such trouble against just three Taurus and a handful of aries.

'wait wait wait! The energy source isn't the only problem? Then my gift won't solve the problem! Luna count on me to solve her problem with the ultra-compact fusion reactor...'

-i advise asking the princess to meet the equestrians responsible for the MS development.

I nodded,"princess, who is in charge of MS development? Hacks and me have noticed a default inside your MS basic conception."

Luna hummed in thought,"while I am mostly a woman of battlefields and know only a few non-military government employees personally I know the head of the development is named golden-age, a woman of high birth and renewed for her deep knowledge of the MS from equestria golden era, she was fascinated by my bertigo even if she called it 'non-standard', she is sadly expert of post nightmare moon era MS used by the old sun guard, they are her favorites."

'...'

-....

'its bad right? Like really bad, they handed development has in creating new stuff to a conservationist and now I have goosebump without having skin, so it must really be bad.'

-it indeed does not bode well, the chance of this 'golden-age' impeding the development with her conservative point of view is 83% even if involuntary.

Alright, just need to stay calm, it may not be that bad, I can still salvage that boat....I hope.

"Beside, you will meet the whole search team, i can't allow a modification as big as you propose without professional's output, the replacement of the fusion reactor does not fit into miscellaneous modification but do tell, what kind of problem did you found?"

"A big one, the control systems of your MS were hastily adapted and it only allow rough control with too strong or too little response from the limbs, felt any of that while piloting your bertigo?"

she slowed down,"I did, i thought it was only the power source who was unstable, sometime producing too much or too little, do you have a solution?"

"Two choice, rework all the existing MS frames which will cost less resources than option two but take more time since we'll have to build part then disassembles the MS and rebuild them. Option two is i hand you the plans of a few new models of MS to build."

She stopped making the whole group stop,"you would give us the plan of your people MS? Just like that?"she said in a 'what the fuck way?!' so brilliant i almost burst out a vessel holding back my laughter.

"Depend, do you have the resources to build them? The manpower to make them? What kind of MS you need? I have hundred of schematic and plan available even without counting the weapon and the things that could be weaponized, its those i don't want to release."

She stood there a bit before she resumed walking, "thank you, equestria has not seen or even received goodwill for a long time, we missed it."

"No problem, i pride myself over being woman of enjoyable company" i said in a joking high and mighty voice, i waited a bit, i then did a full reverse and continued in a snarky voice,"being a dick would be a dumbass thing to do to uphold that ain't it?"

It got laughs and chuckles out of everyone, even the princess and rainbow.

'not all is bad, they still got motivation and a sense of humor so nothing's lost yet, who's the boss? i'm the boss!

-kshatriya, i detect hostile approaching, 12 taurus in flight mod and a modified leo-r.

"Tch, princess we got 13 enemy coming, 12 taurus and a special MS, a leo-r, is it perhaps a leader's unit?"

Luna sped up,"dammit! It's probably princess gilda's unit, she's the child of emperor blackbeak and the one in charge of the equestria conquest, the grandeen probably sent them the info that i was understaffed and she brought all the taurus models they had in the area."

"No need to panic, i can easily destroy them you know?"

"But you won't! the only reason equestria as yet to fall is thanks to gilda being in charge of the invasion, she isn't liked by her father and siblings, the former mostly giving her the oldest model of MS and MA the griffin empire has and the latter sabotaging her effort to build a true attack force by sewing disorder in her army ranks, if she die or fail too badly one of her sibling will replace her under blackbeak order and with them the more advanced units of griftania!"

"So not kill or destroy the pursuers? Damn i don't have many non-lethal weapon you know?"

'i guess i have the mega particle disperser in my arms, i could unleash a weak burst to force them to lands, and they still wouldn't know its a short range weapon either. Hacks can you use the data from the taurus we faced to evaluate the amount of mega particules amount needed?'

-affirmative, i am loading the left arm now.

I flew backward to look at the enemy closing from behind, the taurus were all a deep black but the leo-r was a light brown were it was originally light blue and white were deep blue, the hair were purple like the eyes and she wielded a heated spear instead of the plasma spear, she also had a whip at the right hip. I couldn't study anymore after a scream reached all the canal.

"Come back here you bastard! Give me back the grandeen and the taurus and fucking die!"

'oookay~~she's insane~~nope nope nope nope.'

I pointed my opened left hand toward them, the arm glowed red and four rod came out from the wrist and rapidly heated up.

"Sorry crazy girl, you represent too much risk to fight."

"you coward!"it's the last thing she said before i unloaded the radiant wave, it exploded with green light instead but worked just fine, the taurus lost control and halfway transformed before crashing followed by the leo-r who skidded and actually landed right despite the perturbed controls she must be experiencing. she still fell to her knee right afterward thought.

-the burst was powerful enough to destroy most flight and communications systems, we will reach the next city in 25 minutes at this speed, the chance of them attempting assault again are null.

"well done kshatriya, you stopped them and showed just enough cowardice to prevent gilda to lose her position of leader in the war against equestria, we will probably still see an increase in griffin incursion but not a new more supported leader appearing." luna said with cheer.

"i'm not a coward! it's called deception."i snapped.

"sorry to break it to you mercenary but it doesn't sound better."rainbow said with a -i bet- shit eating grin.

'oh~~you want to play chicken?'had someone looked at me they could have sworn i had a vein pulsing on my forehead.

i moved in front of them raised a finger like a teacher making a point,"all's fair in love and war, two very similar thing, for both rushing through the act is less rewarding, both need foreplay to feel real good, you build up the hype, battle for dominance, bite and scratch each others even and when everyone is feeling hot and bothered....they reach the climax, and it feel...hea-ven-ly!~~"i ended in a sultry tone, fanning myself with a hand and head throwed backward.

and let me tell you seeing a whole group of gundam almost trippings at the same time and sputtering to answer is one of the funniest things i've ever seen.

"y-you pervert!"

"ahahah kshatriya 1 dash 0!"

-.....kshatriya, in you present state sex is impossible.

i immediately stopped laughing,'b-but i did peak back in space?!'

-affirmative, but it was purely through mental stimulation, physical stimulation being impossible it's the only way to experience orgasm, and those are extremely rare and will only grow less frequent.

"nooooooooooooo"

Author's Note

simple chapter to set up some character appearances, the first act will include a few basic character, if everything goes as i plan the next chapter will have some 'pie' in it, it should have been in this one but i already have reached the ~2000~ max words i set for a chapter, i don't like long chapter since it allow for less ellipse and just casual conversation doesn't really add to the story this early with not enough settings.

so next chapter is reaching ponyville and meeting a few more main characters and add more to this equestria lore.

Coming Home

My little meltdown from learning i was now banned from sex didn't please luna, turn out the big-scary-overpowered-gundam screaming bloody murder isn't good for the nerves of a dying race princess.

At least after i explained the most horrible curse bestowed upon me by my new physiologie i got the complete sympathy of the group -aside of the angry princess-, still i set hack on finding a solution while working on my secondary body, it actually was a little project i would have to thought about soon enough to have a more fitting size to interact with equestrians, a small sized gundam using the g-bit technologie for remote control, it would be nothing more than a puppet i could live through but it was the best i could hope for and pretty simple, of course it was before i also needed some way to feel stuff through it....

-kshatriya the town named ponyville is in sight.

I turned around not needing to monitor behind us anymore, i also slowly looked up and up and slowed down,'so this is ponyville? It's...bigger than i evaluated from space, and a lot more fortified.'

The 'town' was a freaking tower, levels upon levels of fortification like some layered wedding cake with cannons and hangars doors everywhere. There was gate at the second level and we had to use an elevator to reach them making all ground based assault very much impossible.

While the elevator led us up i turned to luna,"how the hell did you build that?"

Luna made a thunderous laugh,"impressive isn't it?! We did it using the walls who were originally made to protect a others settlement, with each loss we had more wall to spare and decided to stacks the surplus here until we started the counterattack, it was an idea of the head of defense maud pie, not very expressive but she and her sisters are the best constructors we could ever hope for. They installed most of those things, elevator, cannons and flacks were disposed with care and thoughts, since we put her and her sister in charge all assault crashed against or defense without doing any damage."

"Sweet."

"WHERE?!" i whipped around toward the voice and ended looking at the Torohachi that had appeared on the platform. It was a bright pink almost painful to look at and inside was a woman around 20 years old with a pink fluffy mane so fluffy it almost covered the two pony ears on her head, she had this big scary smile and was plastered against the glass of the torohachi cockpit and wore nothing but a very very tight pink shirt with oil spots and damp of sweat and a jean short.

"Oh~~that is one good looking knight frame! Can i see its inside?!"

*shiver*'creepy! But sexy! But still creepy! But those buns! She don't even wear a bra! Did you look at that fucking manic smile dumbass?! I think I can see her panties! Since when do I like girls?! I can't decide!!!'

I covered myself with my wings,"N-no no you can't! The grandeen's crew should have arrived and told this place about me and my situation."

"So YOU are kshatriya?! Thanks so much for saving everyone! Well almost everyone..."she looked down and sat down on the cockpit chair for a few second before finaly shaking her head and smiling again but without seemingly splitting her face in two this time.

Yeah that was a little more normal, i could do normal.

"No problem, i was hired so i was just doing my job."

"Still i want to thank you, before i'd throw you a party too bad we are short on supplies. Also thanks for the grandeen and taurus, everyone in the hangar are really excited, we hope to reverse engineer them and upgrade our knight frame with them."

"Urgh please say mobile suit, knight frame is just not right...i mean does all pilot are knight?"

It was luna who answered,"actually in the past yes but nowadays? We lack the comfort for such convention, maybe you are right, mobile suit does fit better. I'll have the name changed with my sister."

"Eh not even here for a day and already you make your mark! I knew my pinkie sense was right this time."

"Hun?"

This led to a talk about some magic sixth sense partially lost with the tree and the pink haired woman named pinkie pie doing a short depression. But i digress once we reached the second level i was led to a hangar, it was empty since equestria was really! REALLY! Short on MS, i also met the sisters of pinkie pie maud pie, a purple haired woman with a very hard to read face but golly was she cool, she had this prosthetic lizard like legs and a right arm ending with a clamp, she lost those limbs when her MS was destroyed in battle but i don't know the detail yet. Limestone pie which i didn't like, the bitch was far too antsy for the easy going me. The last was marble pie, she was a shy little thing with some deep love for gundam or MS in general i tell you, i was barely inside that she had tools and stuff ready to clean me up, i did get a mighty bit dirty moving around, and i had a lot of hard to reach places, this was one more reason to create a small g-bit since nanobots couldn't really keep me clean.

After a few exchange of courtesy -except with limestone because she kept bitching about not touching this or that- and marble having cleaned me up it was decided to leave my meeting with the other princess and the research team and development team tomorrow, i wasn't tired -never was or will anymore- but luna and her guard hadn't slept for two days and a night and worked most of this time, they had comrade to mourn and friends or families to rejoin.

'so, here i am, alone again...it wasn't long before i felt this empty feeling again...i suppose things are not always related to what and where you are, but who...'

I looked at the ceiling from my sited posture, the hangar slot actually had bench like space so they could work on MS legs without holding them upward.

-correction, you are never alone kshatriya, i am always here.

I looked down on my chest and while it didn't show outside, i was smiling.

'yeah, i suppose you're right even if the way you said it was a bit creepy, it's nice to have you here hacks.'

-it's a pleasure and honor kshatriya.

'want to look at some stuff?'

-acknowledged, which category?

'i have a few MS and gundam to check on, if thing proceed like i think it will i need to make lists on which ones to give the equestrian depending of their ressources, i also have a few weapons to check on so keep the nanite at ready kshatriya, they'll need to go beyond repairing stuff soon.'

-acknowledged, i will reprogram some nanites for construction Instead of réparation and keep them ready, we still need material for constructing anything.

'no problem, i'll ask some to the equestrians tomorrow.'
____________________________________________________________________________

I barely noticed the night passing, i was so engrossed into my research and planning i was only made aware of how much time had passed when the princess luna came in followed by what i presume was her sister from the crown, she was wearing a white military tuxedo just like luna wore a blue one, her crown looked a lot like a navy captain cap but with jewels and crown like spike at the front and opening for her ears, it was actually looking pretty good with her multicolored hair.

The princesses were followed by three group of equestrians separated by their different uniforms, the first group was led by a red and yellow haired woman a bit too thin and tired for her own good from the black bag under her eyes. She wore a white lab coat like all those who followed behind her but with a sphere of golden and silver imprinted on her shoulders.

-probability of this group being the research and department representative is high.

The second group was maud's, she was followed by her three sisters and a handful of other all dressed in a wide array of clothes with range of movement and resistance the main focus.

'so they also invited the defense and construction department? They are taking this seriously it seem.'

I turned my attention to the last group, they wore clothes i could only describe as overcomplicated, plenty of medal and decoration to show off even ribbon and cape, it was probably some important cultural elements or traditional garnement but honestly it was pretty much useless in the end. The leader was a middle aged leaning on the old woman with a scowl splattered on her face, her hair were a faded golden and she was wearing a old Napoleon like suit.

The princesses stopped in front of me."greetings gundam kshatriya, I am princess celestia and I am the other leader of equestria. Behind me are three of the four group i wanted to bring today, the last one is on its way but we will start without them." Then she bowed deeply surprising the group's behind her the first two were just surprised but the last reacted like they had bit into a lemon.

"I would like to thank you for saving my sister, she is very precious to me and her loss would have destroyed me. Know that you have my eternal gratitude."

"S-sure no problem, I was just doing my job, beside if we seal the deal were about to make we'll be Allies so no need for debt and stuff."

She raised her head and smiled at me, "yes my sister told me of it, you wish to prove the truth of your desire to ally with us by sharing technologies with us wasn't it?"

"Y-yes"

"Then if what you share with is true to your word I have only one question, why? Why Ally with us even after my sister told you of our situation? Someone of your strength and ability would be given anything she desire by the Griffin, dragon or minotaur."

I stayed silent for moment constructing my phrase carefully so it would properly carry my answer,"I had nothing, before getting this body I was literally nothing if I had disappeared none would have noticed, I don't have relative, friend, relationship, pet, nothing I was conceived by accident and left... in a different country than my 'parent' soon after birth, after that it was a miserable life in an orphanage as the only French child, pretty bad start isn't it? Yet look at me now, I am a gigantic gundam of untold power and immortal to boot. This tell us one thing, the lower you are the higher you can reach and the more you want to reach it. And while it may be insulting there is no one lower than you right now."

The way all their head leaned to the side afterward was pretty funny i admit, "so...you want to help us because you believe that the worst your start the greatest your success?"

"Yep, and also because i know how it feel to be down on your luck. Plus because you are less likely to betray me, those other country doesn't need me and would likely try to extort me of my knowledge but you? You can't really afford to lose my help, this also mean i cannot really ally with the other countries meaning we need each others."

Luna smiled, "holding that from us would have gave you an edge on the negotiation you know?"

I shrugged, "told you i wanted to play fair with you already."

Celestia nodded and signaled for the woman in lab coat to advance,"now that my question have been answered i present you to sunset shimmer, she is the head of the research department. She will be the one to assess the authenticity of the technology you wish to share with us."

"Hello gundam kshatriya, i was informed you had a new power source for our MS do you need special support to expose its working and description?"

"Hi sunset, and nope check this out."

From my mono eye a green light created an hologram scale 1/1 of the ultracompact fusion reactor. Sunset was dumbstruck like all others and slowly walked inside and around the hologram not even writing anything with how amazed she was.

"T-this is marvelous! Such precis work i can see some likeness with our own but it's far more advanced,"

She was surprised when the static hologram started to move the different part acting like the reactor was functioning,

"Its true, princesses this reactor would work! It could solve our knight fra- i mean MS power issues!"

Celestia looked at me with a smile,"you hold your word kshatriya, you have our trust, can this..picture be imprinted?"

"Already done." i pointed a small stack of paper that my nanites had dones during the night. It was only the ultra compact fusion reactor schematic and various information related to it like security and maintenance procedure.

"For the second part, the MS schematic i mean i need to know a few thing from the defense and construction department, at least if they know what ressource you have allowed to the MS construction."

The focus was back on me since i stopped the hologram. Maud was the one to answer, "ask away then, we know all about the stocks statut."

"Alright, first-"

What followed was a long discussion about ressources, i devolved on them bringing me sample of material because they had stuff called mithril and orichalque, hack think, it's possible to make some alloy from them that could equal some low quality gundarium, it was still a lot more resistant than anything they had except for the vertigo of princess luna, it was actually made of gundarium, or like they call it moonsteel.

"That what i thought, you don't have enough material to actually use the mass production tactic, each mass produced MS lost would be a devastating waste of resources to you. Instead you should use what materials you have to make some exceptional unit piloted by your elite, once you have recaptured some land and access to mines you can start producing better MS to defend it while using the elite group in attack." i said looking at the equestrians.

It has been a few hours since the discussion had started and the princess had chair and table brought inside the hangar, paper were thrown on the tables with calculs we made and reports on stocks state they had brought to them during the discussion,

Celestia looked at me, "this is sad but true, as for your idea, we had the same, it's what the fourth group is to become, they are the best elements we have, they should arrive soon."

Honestly i was doubtful, "princess we've been here for hours, i think they forgot."

"Ney, they just have duty of their own to take care of first, ah! Here they are."

As luna said,a group entered the hangar, five woman and one man, i recognised rainbow dash among them but the other were new,

"i present to you the best equestria as to offer in term of pilots." the newcomer slammed their right fist on their chest legs slightly apart and left arm behind their back.

"colonel twilight sparkle, element of harmony, present and ready for duty." she was a three tone purple haired woman wearing a purple military uniform, she was missing her left eye she looked determined and serious but not cold.

"first lieutenant applejack, celestial guard, element of harmony, ready for duty." she was an orange haired woman with freckle, she was reap with muscle proof of regular work out, i could even see her abs under her white and gold uniform, she was calm and focused, steady like an old oak tree.

"first lieutenant rainbow dash, night guard, element of harmony, ready for duty." rainbow had ditched her armor for the uniform, i only now noticed the right arm being a prosthetic, it was hidden under the armor before, she was grinning at me.

"major rarity belle, special agent 'diamond', element of harmony, ready for duty."she was a one tone dark purple haired woman perfectly groomed and wearing a beautiful white uniform, she was also terribly scared on the right side of her face, her eyes were fine but the skin around her right cheeks was heavily scared, the partial mask covering this side of her jaw hinted toward the complete loss of her cheek, yet she didn't seem bothered by it, smiling proudly.

the last one was different, she was covered in small scar and missing her legs and arms, instead she had almost bone thin prosthetics ending with claw, her eyes were like two blue gems.

"Fluttershy, special agent 'feral', element of harmony, ready for duty."

her voice was cold and she spoke clearly and slowly. i felt all my instinct scream to me 'predator!!!!!'

'she's both scary and fascinating,'

the man was about to introduce himself when...

"wait wait wait!" i looked at pinkie moving next to Fluttershy, "pinkie pie, executive of the defense and construction department, element of harmony, ready for duty." she had this childish smile and i couldn't' help shaking my head, with a chuckle.

the man snorted with a smile, i noticed that all the other smiled too, even the one named fluttershy.

"spike sparkle, special agent 'dragon slayer', ready for duty." he was the youngest around 18/19 years old and had long green hair and eyes, he also had two prosthetics lizard like legs and wore an armor instead of a uniform,

i looked at them for a bit, mesmerized by this charisma they had but also...

'they got it, this aura the main characters of gundam all have, this 'thing' only main character posses and made them so much more.'

-affirmative, they have the same profile.

we turned to celestia and luna, they were smiling and grinning respectively.

"they are perfect."
"-they are perfect."

Author's Note

here they are! the mane six and our favorite drake, but what happened to them?! so many wounds! what is their backstory?! well, you'll find out....someday, peoples rarely share how they lost four limbs or got their face mauled the first meeting you see. but don't worry, the mane six may have lost some of their innocences but they remain those brave six girls we all love to read about, as for little spike? he is a little taller and a lot more badass.

six Gundams Confirmed.

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.

Author's Note

written in one day after thinking about it for a week. hope you like my gundam repartition, some are easy to understand and other will become logical later on but don't hesitate giving your output about who got what. ^^

luna's Secret.

After some time the hangar was calm and mostly empty again, the elites team was the last to leave beside the princesses, they asked a lot of questions about their gundam and i was happy to see most were about how to care for them.

'good to know ressources and MS shortage taught them to be careful with their équipments, too few pilots do in the anime i watched and while being afraid of being hit is a bad thing being overly sacrificial is even worst in my opinion. Beside char aznable hated being hit even without being dealt any damage and he was one of the best pilote you could find.'

-indeed, char aznable had very high expectation of himself and would never settle for less than perfect result and it showed in its superior proficiency.

Anyway, after the pilot left with handbooks of detail about their MS and a warning to not show it to anyone even each others -to prevent information leaks in case of capture- i was left with the two princesses, they looked at each other before celestia sadly smiled and left.

"Lady kshatriya, I'd like a moment of your time."

"Sure, hacks can keep the nanites in check."

The materials celestia had asked for me were sent and I had started converting them into nanites so I had a mass of grey goo just beside me barely half an equestrian tall and who was 'eating' the material to grow, it gave me the hope to use the grey goo as a weapon against enemies MS but turn out the nanites are like g-bits and rely on MY proceeding power to think, the only thing they know how to do by themselves is 'repair owner', so no grey goo rush.

She turned to the nanites amalgamation with a wary look, "good i suppose, the way this thing seem to melt the materials and grow bigger from it is most unsettling."

she shook her head, "anyway, i have to tell you the detail of your connection to equestria. As the one to have established the first contact i am responsible for you so if you need anything or want to know something contact me and i will do my best to assist you, within reason of course. secondly, it's the part you might not like, you are not registered as a mercenary."

"I am indeed warry, what i am registered as then? Not subject i hope?"

"No of course no, we know you don't like the idea of your kind's technologies spreading and if you were our subject we could theoretically order you to give them to us, and surely the nobles we have left would be trying so immediately which would then strain our budding alliance something celestia and i don't want, but mercenaries are badly seen by our subject and when equestria's allies betrayed us we made it a point of pride to stand by ourselves and not rely on other peoples help, this prevented or at least reduced the feeling of despair born from our allies turning their back and even fangs at us. So recruiting mercenaries is not possible without hope faltering, it would be a show of weakness and desperation."

'this...okay i can see how it make sense but i don't like where this is going, since i can't even deduct where this is going.'

-the only options i can see to bypass those problem are relatively unreliable or would disadvantage the equestrians greatly during negotiation with us.

"In the end my sister and me decide the best way would be to register you as an independent country founded inside ours..."

-they went for both.

"An...enclave? Without land? And made of one person?"my voice was so neutral it mad even me uncomfortable.

She raised her hands with a strained smile,"You actually have a land! The land this hangar was built on and the hangar itself was given to you as an estate and during attacks you are part of you will be rewarded a percentage of the land taken and to spare you to have only spread pieces of land we will instead keep track of how much hectare you should received during each battle and when you want to 'cash' them we will let you pick any lands equestrian own, within reason, some infrastructure are needed and some land don't belong to the crowns."

'what do you think hacks? It doesn't sound bad, it's actually pretty neat.'

-multiple detail are lacking like the percentage and if this become our only payment for participation in attack or a add to our desired per battle rewards.

"It sound good, but~~" i leaned toward luna while holding my chin, "i'd like to discuss the finer details of our deal."

*gulp*

_________________________________________________

*a few hours later.*

Luna's eye was twitching, "y-you are a fierce negotiator kshatriya, do you perhaps have experience in bargaining?"

I grinned internally, i bargained with her for a long time but i got a very good deal, i would get 7% of the land i help get back and trust me it's a lot when talking using city scale, i also will still get a bonus in resources for personal project mostly weapons and repairs, what was truly great was that i received the moon mining right, yep you got that right i own the moon's ore resources legally since the moon belong to luna legally, it was recognized world wide a few millenia back. Off course i still have to sell 25% of the ores found yearly at set price to equestria and i can only use the ores for myself or resell to equestria but its still my right to choose the price i sell them to after the 25% every years. And guess what is only found on the moon? Yep gundanium components. it did cost me that luna can order me to fight battles i don't want to five time, for free.

I mimicked cleaning my claw and looking at them, "when you live for years under the poverty level you get good at those things."

Her eyes widened, "how could one as competent as you in the field of battle have trouble earning money?"

I raised my shoulder, "wasn't always like this princess luna, i was made of flesh and bone and i didn't have the best start in life, but i made do like i could. That's in the past anyway, i don't want to talk about it right now."

She smiled sadly and looked down, "talking about the past, my sister and i believe you should learn about my past early into our alliance, do you remember my passing comment about me being banished?"

I took some time to remember our talk and found the memory, i watched it quickly by using more processing power.

"Yep, you said you'd tell me later."

"Well we are later. *sigh* i will be straightforward, i once turned onto my sister and country in a feat of rage, driven by envy and desperation i lashed out with untamed dark magic and started a civil war."

'...say whaaaaat?!' if i had my old face i would've loved seeing it right now, distorted in utter confusion. Probably hilarious, but i didn't so i was not amused.

"-please repeat, the sensor seem to have misinterpreted your words."

'you bet they did hacks!'

"Word for word, i once turned onto my sister and country in a feat of rage, driven by envy and desperation i lashed out with untamed dark magic and stared a civil war, i willingly fused with a dark entity i instinctively created to absorb my darkest feelings until the point of overflowing and became Nightmare moon. Once the dark entity named the nightmare took me over it led my few followers to a war who lasted half a decade and led to my banishment for a thousand years on the moon and the loss of most of my follower, i came back a few years ago and was freed from my creation the nightmare by the elements of harmony. The rest you know, the loss of the tree and the slaughter of our peoples..."

She was looking down with her arms to her sides, her fists clenched until her knuckles became white and nails biting in her flesh, drawing blood.

I looked down on her, "did you regret?"

She looked at me in anger, "off course! Everyday i did and i still do! Had i been here i could have helped equestria grow stronger and when the tree was lost we wouldn't have lost so much! if i had been here my sister wouldn't have had to lead a-alone, the only immortal with no one to share her burden!"she held her glare straight to my eye.

"Did they forgive you?"

Her eye widened and she looked aside, "...they did, she did...and i thank the heaven everyday for this even if i don't deserve this, if i don't deserve them."

"...then i have no problem working with you moonbutt~~"

"Eh?"

"You regretted and they forgave you right? Then this past event became a teaching, a lesson you learned from and made you better."

"J-just like that? No doubt of my loyalty? Of my trustworthiness?!"

"Nope! At least i don't consider you any less trustworthy than any other people i have know for three day ahahah."

"We...did meet only three day ago, what a strange thing, i feel like i knew you for longer."

"That's kind of my schtick, i was very out of place in the past, i was raised into a foreign country and i had very different features from the locals. I learned to get along easily with peoples quickly to deal with the barrier my look created with others."

she smiled, "your past seem fascinating if it made you what you are today."

"i'm nothing special, their were a lot of peoples like me, everywhere people with trash start in life are doing their best to grow beyond the boundary set to them by circumstance, i just happened to score a good deal."

"will you tell me of your past one day?"

"one day maybe, one day i might share. but not today, not yet."

luna nodded and left, i turned to the grey goo.

'alright hacks, let's build some stuff, the deathscythe weapon aren't gonna make themself and i have to make the blueprint of the gundam for maud, what should we start with?'

before hacks could answer i heard luna talk to me from the entrance of the hangar,

"kshatriya! we decided rainbow would represent your gundams during the friendly battle with lady golden, please have the blueprint of the wing gundam ready for maud tomorrow, she will be the one to create it personally," she grinned, "she is very dedicated so make sure to know your subject to a T."

an image of the clamp armed, muscle sculpted woman with thick armored lizard like like legs prosthesis and stone like stare appeared in my head and i swear i felt a shiver.

"i-i will have everything ready soon!"

"perfect i can't wait to see your completed gundam, it may not seem like it but my sister and i are fierce gambler and i already betted on you, my sister bet is on the daughtress, she owe them this much trust she said! ah! once we win she will have to parade wearing cloths of our choosing for a week to show her defeat publicly!"

she left with a thunderous evil laughter.

"..."

-kshatriya? are you alright?

"this princess is crazy. and i may be even more crazy to actually like it."

-this is probably what they call charisma.

'jeez, been needing one of those for years.'

-you will have the opportunities to develop it along the way kshatriya, it's not something you have from birth, its cultivated and trained through experience, you have charisma but the princess is still more experienced its why hers overpower yours, those seven pilots had it too, but its only budding for them, just like yours.

i looked at the grey goo in thought,

'despite this new body and power, under all this gundanium, i'm still really weak aren't i?'

-complete disagreement, you are strong kshatriya, but you can become stronger.

i clenched my fist.

'and i will, this is my goal, to be someone peoples look up to, someone who's back is the only think people need to see to feel courage spur into their hearts! a person so strong their existence is somewhere in between the historical figures and myth like unicorn and gods, so epic their life story is impossible to differentiate from legend and fairy tale.'

-if i remember correctly the discussions the equestrian had between themselves while you talked with others, unicorn actually exist here and some equestrian actually are unicorn, just like some are pegasus.

my mono eye actually shot down at that as i brought my hand to gently apply it to my face with a *gong*.

"what.the.fuck?"

'alright fuck it, i am getting too confused today, we'll ask about that tomorrow but today i'll just forget it, let's deal with the blueprint and create the deathscythe weapons, we already know we'll win against golden age.

-acknowledged kshatriya.

Portrait of a Ruined Country

Author's Note

a image of ponyvill from outside, its the closest thing i found from how i see it.

Portrait of a Ruined Country

It's been a few days since my arrival, i finished the weapons for the deathscythe and handed the blueprints for the wing gundam to maud, we talked for awhile about the gundam and its features and maud actually asked to add some of the equestrian technologie, namely a technologie based teleportation device for the pilot to escape if the unit is lost, its unstable so the unit left behind always go full black hole and collapse on itself but i considered it a bonus, it would prevent potential lost units to be stolen. Afterward i asked to see luna to have some questions answered and it lead to a very, very long explanation by twilight sparkle who invited herself into me and luna's conversation. She was actually here to ask me questions but this woman love to share knowledge. After they had left to 'check on the preparation', i made sure to go through what i learned and remember it since it was common knowledge in this world.

I learned that in the past, meaning a few years ago, equestrians could bring out their ancestors abilities depending on what kind of tribes they were the closest to between unicorn, pegasus and titan(earth pony wouldn't fit into the more serious lore '^^).

The unicorn like twilight sparkle would be able to gain control of the surrounding magic and use spell by spawning a incorporal horn on their head, the stronger the connection to the ancestor the more defined and corporal the horn, twilight for example could spawn a physical horn just like sunset.

The pegasus like rainbow dash from luna's say can form wings but instead of being incorporal they are more or less defined and the size vary depending of the connection, rainbow for example had small wing but very defined meaning she had power and agility but lacked endurance while fluttershy had large wing but looking more like frail butterfly wings partially shredded at the tip since they were unstable, while she could fly for a long time she but had little strength, from the description it looked a lot like my wing of light.

The titan are a different matter at all, they are the only one still able to actively use their abilities, while the other two powers could be affected by the surrounding since they needed generating a new body part the titan rely purely on empowering the existing ones making dispeling it impossible, they can literally increase their body mass and muscle ratio, they also can harden bones and skin to metal level of resistances. When wars started spawning all over the world and equestria was assaulted the citizen of the titans tribe was the one who prevented its immediate fall. Even here in ponyville there was a man named macintosh who fought three MS barehanded and won, he didn't survive the aftermath, namely because of blood loss and torn apart muscle till the bones showed but he is dearly remembered. To think i have its sister and cousin piloting two of my gundam actually made me proud, i'm talking about applejack and pinkie pie, it also explain why they lack wounds contrary to the others, also make me scared of what happened to maud since she is said to be the most connected equestrian to the titan bloodline in history.

In the end it leave the alicorn princesses, in the rock-paper-scissor mechanics that the other three kind were in the past, the unicorn unable to put down a titan who was serious, titan unable to reach or defend against pegasis assault and pegasus lift being dispelled by unicorn magic, the alicorn were a pickaxe, they have the three but they each boost the others, forget about incorporate body part, they had true wing and horn and still have dammit, they just don't wear it all the time because it would be a waste of energy.

Still the most important thing is...

'they move the sun and moon...or so they say but at this point i could believe anything. I'm a human mind living inside a gundam body with an i.a inside me and i was sent into another planet filled with anthropomorphic old Greece mythological beasts by a probably almighty space and time being who's only activity is going from one nerd convention to another and wanted my old life to hideout from mortal humans, yeah immortal being controlling the sun and moon? Meh ah'm not impressed mate.'

-yours mental status is strangely passive kshatriya, are you alright?

'oh yeah sure i'm fine, i think i've just gone fully numb at this point, i'll just wait here for the princesses to come back while meditating on the fact my original world was the most boring shit ever created and i was actually far more unlucky than i thought on a universal scale than just on the human scale. Wait scratch that, humanity as a whole got a shitty start, no magic no super strength or power of flight and certainly not immortal benevolent rulers who could say fuck to gravity at a stellar scale either.'

-question, was it sarcasm? You are too neutral for me to deduct it kshatriya.

"Yes it was!"

"What was what?"

I turned to celestia followed by luna and twilight.

"Nothing, hacks and me chatting, what bring you here princess celestia? And shouldn't you two be checking some kind of preparations?" I said pointing Luna and twilight.

Luna grinned,"We did and everything is done, kshatriya, would you do us the honor of visiting ponyville?"

"Really?! I can? I was sure I was too big to enter the residential area..."

Yes because since coming here I was staying at the hangar, it's the only place constructed with MS moving around taken into account.

Celestia advanced,"we made some arrangements and a few road were repurposed for MS travel, you won't be able to move all over the town but you should be able to visit it, we also started to prepare the duel spot and build the gundam, maud decided to focus on yours since the development team of golden age want to build there new model themselves."

I clapped my hand, "awesome I can finally see what an alien town look like!"

They looked at me for a moment before twilight reacted, "ohhh that's true, for you we are alien just as much as you are for us." she then tensed, "so what is about to happen is the first extraterrestrial assessment of equestria living arrangements! Princesses were not ready, all my book show that first impression in cultural interaction is very important and-"
"It's fine twitwi, I know your not at you best I'll take it into account if it help, but honestly the building themselves Don't interest me, the peoples do."

It seemed to ease her nerves a bit and the princesses did a small bow of thanks, "since all is said and done, why don't Luna and I show you the way?"

I stood up and nodded, we walked to the door and they opened slowly, I walked out behind the equestrian, and observed the town, it was closer to a city with how many buildings there was. The city was built upward, the walls covered with buildings either sculpted into the walls or dangling from bridges passing through the empty space and connecting different hangar doors to outside allowing MS to leave the pass through the city and defend the city on every side, in the middle was a tower reaching the ceiling and giving the bridges a middle point support.

"T-that is one big city."

Celestia smiled to me as she climbed on a floating platform with the luna and twilight, the platform flew them up to eye level and stayed in front of me guiding me forward along the road, "we are very proud of it, it's presently housing more than 350 000 equestrians. From bottom to top is the mining facilities and the factories, next is the MS and weaponry storage where we are right now. Higher is the residential area reserved for the military personnel and even higher is the civilians residential area followed by the government official's living/working area."

She pointed each level when presenting them but i noticed sh didn't point at the highest level, "what the last one? At the highest level."

The princesses just smiled and it was twilight who answered like she was saying a motto, "at the highest point is the most vital necessities for all, the farms and food productions."with a finger raised and eye closed.

"-truer words were never spoken princesses."

"I agree with hacks, it's the most basic yet vital element needed. And the roof is the only place where the sun could reach the crops."

"I just wish the noble would agree, they are less numerous since canterlot fall but actually prove to be even more picky on their privileges."

I couldn't answer before my attention was drawn to the side of the road, i frowned internally as i saw equestrians in damaged cloths and a little too thin to be healthy.

Luna followed my eye and looked down sadly, "we try to provide for all but it prove to be harder everyday, some are bound to slip between the crack and suffer more than we'd like. They are not beggar and all have works, but the rations distributed are still too small and nutrient lacking."

'hacks do we have anything on the colonies?'

-affirmative, we possess all knowledge of the colonies sirius, may i inquire why?

'they had limited resource and space so they should have means to produce healthy food fitting for our situation.'

-checking data base..... I found the required technologie, should i start printing them through the nanites?

'yes, we'll share them with the princess for free, i am not nearly greedy enough to earn money on the back of starved peoples.'

-very well kshatriya.

I turned to the princess, "hacks is printing a few thing to help you produce more nutritive and abundant foodstuff. Free of charges."

Celestia eyes widened, she bowed followed by luna and twilight. "that..is a welcome gift kshatriya, we will be sure to repay your kindness in kind one day."

"No problem princesses, let's just change subject, what happened with the grandeen?" i said eager to divert the growing attention of the equestrian who looked at us with wide eyes after the princesses bowed.

The three girl noticed the peoples around and twilight answered while the princess waved to the peoples around with smiles to show all was alright. "the grandeen was in good condition but still damaged, we decided to rework it instead of just repair it."

"Will it become a full original work? Maybe even a custom units?"

She nodded, "custom units, the crew and commander are decided but top secret."

"Will it be fully operational for the next operation?"

She started to be uncomfortable,"no, too much repair needed. It will be able to help but will be completed at 75% at best and lack most of its secondary weaponry. The main one should be ok for a few shot."

"Ok, i won't ask more if it's top secret, what about the gundam wing?"

She breathed in relief,"it's almost complete. Its only missing the new reactor and the outer plating. The testing was made using the old reactor and could only operate one limbs at a time."

I nodded and looked around, the city was simple but brightly colored, equestrians were walking in the street and stopped to look at me in wonder, couldn't blame them. I was the biggest MS ever made from memory, the kshatriya was already bigger than most MS and i was 1.5x time bigger and with my ominous black and green color i also understood the slight fear in some passerby.

We reached a bridge and walked on it, i wasn't worried about my weight since the bridge was made for MS anyway, it was big enough for 3 MS side by side and still had more room on each borders for 10 pedestrian to walk side by side.the bridge railing was MS size probably for MS not to fall on the lower level in case of accident or mechanical mishaps.

I looked down over the railing and saw the usine, my question about the lacks of smoke was answered when i saw the pipe going from the factory to inside the walls,

'they probably redirect the smoke away from the city.'

The factories were mostly foundry and industrial forges but also what looked glass workers but using jewel. The princess and twilight explained that those factory mostly 'grew crystal and then converted them to steel and other metals by breaking them to powder and melting them together through very precise mix.

-fascinating, i recommande asking for informations about those mix as one of our future payments.

'agreed.'

We reached the center tower and took an elevator , we passed the military personnel area and even the civilian area but the elevator was slow and my sight outstanding so i could easily see the street of each.

The military area was filled with wounded and people with prosthetics, i swear there's was probably more artificial limbs then biological one and that was the case for men, woman, young and old. The varieties of shape the limbs took was also clear to see, some had very natural looking one and other were simply shocking, i saw a woman with sword instead of legs from the knee down and a boy barely old enough to be called an adult with two arm splitting at the elbow into four and moving on a grafted wheelchair at the hips, wich explained the four hospital i found thanks to the the red crosses.

'what kind of war lead to barely adult boy being hurt so much...'

-...

The equestrian civilians were better off but not spared either, many were wounded and this time some didn't even had prosthetics. The level was made with practicality in mind and even with the many color the equestrians used it was still clear the place was just unnaturally sad. I also noted at least eight potential orphanage into one look over, most resident were girls strangely, the army was 50/50 so it wasn't conscription.

"Princesses, why is the gender ratio is this flawed?"

The three stiffened in anger. Celestia answered with a voice of cold hatred. "among our enemies, some are targeting male with the intention to force the remaining womens, to surrender to preserve our species thanks to their males."

Luna growled, "disgusting waste of breath! All of them!"

My eye disappeared, "what enemies?"

Twilight was the one to answer since the princesses were brooding, "the saddle arabian, zebra, centaur and changelings. Until now the centaur and saddle arabian are the worst. The zebra have a matriarchal society and simply see male of other species as worthless, and changelings simply tend to overuse male to increase their numbers."

'hacks put the saddle arabian and centaur on the blacklist and the other on the watchlist.'

-done kshatriya, what are the specifics of each list?

'black for total destruction of any leading powers, and watchlist is self explanatory.'

-noted kshatriya.

The mood didn't stay sour too long, we soon reached the government executive's level. It was a fairing a lot better than the other with more decorations and useless feature like fountain and statue, even flower pot along the windows showing outside, the first i have seen inside the city. In the street was mostly scholars and high ranked military, some messenger and finally what easily stood out as nobilities members.

'figurs golden age taste in clothes would be from her noble origins.'

-kshatriya, i lack any kind of data on clothes aside military one and still find those to be hideous, should i scan my preceptor for problems?

'nope hacks, you just got common sense, something most rich-from-birth peoples simply does not have or worse look down upon.'

"We need to make a short stop here, i have to check on the legal side of the 'friendly' duel between the wing gundam and the daughtress neo."celestia said.

I grinned internally, 'the neo ah? If it's the same as the one from gundam this duel will be closer to an execution.'

"While we are talking about that, i heard they refused to use your new reactor for...belief reason."

Luna snorted, "belief?! 'to not give you any saving grace when they prove you inferiority' they said. they are simply so full of themselves, they preach the golden age of equestria but are far from seeking to start a new one. The sky know we could use one."she whispered at the end.

Twilight smiled at princess luna, "i heard you asked for the prototype of the new reactor to be put inside the reworked bertigo princess, how was it?"

Luna mood soared again as she slammed a hand in twilight back, "it was marvelous twilight, my bertigo was restored to its full glory and more, when miss pie offered to apply the new modification on my bertigo i was more than thrilled and by my moon we were not disappointed! Right sister?"

Celestia noded with a smile,"indeed, it was your loudest huzza yet lulu."

Luna cheeks reddened,"sister~~, this was a secret!"

"*chuckle* sorry to embarrass you in front of your friends luna."

'friends...'

What a nice feeling, it's been so long since i had a friend...i shook my head and looked at the trio, the two princess where messing with each other like only sisters could and twilight was simply fussing around them a little panicked. It was a simple thing but it made me notice somethings, i recalled my walk up here, the face of the equestrians i saw, the orphans, wounded and soldiers.

'smile, they had smile. The hardship they are facing even now has yet to snuff out hope for those people.'

I chuckled lightly, but with my size it was enough to grab most of the attention around,

*chuckles*

"And what do a the soulless abomination of metals laugh about?"

*sigh* i turned to the newcomer, "what do you seek by insulting me today rotten eggs oops! I mean golden age?"

Her eye narrowed, "i am here to see what retarded our beloved princess from our meeting."

While none voiced it i think all four of us noted the princess not being plural.

Celestia turned to luna, "why don't you take twilight and kshatriya to the roof, i'll join you later."

We parted way and even if celestia was smiling i couldn't help feel like we were leaving her to a bunch of parasite infested scavenger.

The rest of the visit was spent without seeing celestia again, she only sent word that she was hold up by more noble swarming her court. i tried to sheer up luna along twilight but even her was affected by celestia being absent. instead we walked along the orchard and farm spreading under the glass dome making up the roof, the white pillar along the edge and supporting the roof were also letting the wind and sun pass and it made for a beautiful scenery, even with the canon every few meter and sentry along the edge observing the distant for possible attack. but in the end i couldn't take my mind off celestia and the nobles.

'right now it would be to dangerous with my precarious position but when my place among equestria is secured i may have to clean up the nobility rank, you know? weed out the political field.'

-i recommend learning the laws of equestria before going down this pass, one must first learn the rule to play.

'you got it.'

after returning to the hangar i started working on my "micro secondary bit body project" or MS-BB for short, it was basically a smaller sized remotely controlled bit, hacks had done most of the planning and i just had to personalise it to my preference, it still lacked the sex-add on but i have hack working on it using other franchise technologies.

"i can't just make a small sized me, its too energy consuming, i want at least 24 hours of autonomy between charges, solar panel? that could work, maybe the..." i was interrupted in my mumbling by rainbow dash bursting in at the handlebar of a hovering motorbike.

"kshatriya! the wing isn't ready and golden age pulled string for the duel to be tomorrow!"

*shigh*"fucking bitch can't even play fair until the combat. alright, lead the way to wing gundam, maud is probably with it trying to finish it on time, she is aware of this news right?"

dash hovered in front of me, leading the way. "off course, she the one who told me to call you, she said you finished the weapon for shy in barely two day."

"yep, not that hard but i was only able to do that because i was doing nothing else, take a lot of focus to build stuff with nanites. also cool bike dash."

"thanks, twilight and pinkie helped me build it, i couldn't let something like the entire world magic going crazy take my title of fastest flyer ever!"

used to her boasting from her regular visit to ask me question on the wing i just shook my head with a chuckle."i don't doubt it dash but does it have more than speed to it?"

"you bet, the blade can actually be heated, i already took down four MS with it!"

"now that is awesome!"

the rest of the day i helped finishing the wing, it didn't have its grenade launcher but honestly the blade was already overkill against the daughtress, i also asked dash to put on a show for me, i even asked her to pull out one of my fantasme finishing move to use, she was more than happy to oblige after testing the wing and loving every second of its fast almost instant response time, she didn't get to try flying with it but i can recognize fangasm induced arousal pretty easily, and dash was pretty moist leaving the wing gundam, can't help to poke fun at her when she actually reach the sky with it, in both sense.

'And tomorow, she'll get to try it out. this will be fun.'

The Duel in ponyville.

for those who don't want to look for them:raritywink:, i'll do that every now and then, if i think about it.:twilightblush:

The Duel in ponyville.

It was a beautiful day in the plain surrounding ponyville, the sky was clear, the daughtresses were patrolling and the whole city had gathered in front of the government diffusion screen to observe the two newest model of MS pounding at each other in the name of their developers. While the appearance of the princess and the elements on the screens had drawn a lot of attention, mine was another level, while a good deal of equestrian -mostly the hangar employees- had seen me at least once, most equestrian only heard of the black giant with venomous green eye from outer space.

I stood with confidence and regal zeal beside the wing gundam, rainbow was inside and making the final check. In front of us was the daughtress neo, it was looking the same but a quick furtive scan had revealed a few gimmick in it, most were actually very smart but old, some hidden blade in the limbs, a flashlight on the head and off course the thing they intended to cheat with, a small one time use beam saber, it was running on magic so useless against equestrian enemies and so purely made to win this one and only duel.

'are they seriously willing to risk the life of an element to prove a point? I thought the elements were pretty damn important for equestria?'

-they are, the best explanation is that they don't think they'll need it but still kept it as last resort.

'last resort my ass, it won't do anything to the wing, this gundam could fight with a 50% compromised frame, it can fight with two leg an arm and the head destroyed for pits sake!'

"Is their a problem ksha?"rainbow had noticed my silence. I turned to her her and sighted. I connected to her radio so no one could heard us.

"Nothing much, they have a forbidden weapon but it was expected so nothing surprising, just a bit disappointed they'd actually do it, now they are cliche villain in all right."

"We'll just have to make up for it by being awesomely original! No biggie."

"Mmm...the cliche thing would be to stomp them while taunting them, why not go for silent and efficient, with a overwhelming finishing move?"

She laughed, "alright the last one you already gave me and it will be so awesome, but the two other...I'm not really known to be the silent kind, and I want the public to enjoy the show."

"An efficient warrior in battle is a sight to behold and by saying little each word you pronounce become valuable."

"Fine fine jeez, no need to be all master hoofway on me. I'll try but no promise, and before the end I'll have taken this baby for a fly."

'wait hoofway? Does she mean oogway? This look alike historical or mythical figures or places are more and more random, I mean learning of a town named canterlot was bad enough but people too?'

I shook my head,"sure knock yourself out if you want but an advice, shut down the outside speaker when you do."

She turned at me and I could see her raise an eyebrow through the camera inside her cockpit.

I looked at celestia and luna walking up the stage, it was actually made specially for today and stood higher than the MS even mine,

'or should i say my body? My body is a MS that i control through the computer in my chest so does it make it my MS?'

-in the past was your brain the only part considered as kshatriya?

'of course not.'

-then this body as a whole is kshatriya, not only the computer inside the chest where your mind reside.

I mulled over hacks way of thought,

'fair enough, it make sense to me.' i said finally before refocusing on celestia and luna.

Luna started the speech,"fair citizens, today we have reunited to observe a revolution into the military forces of equestria."

Celestia continued, "a friendly duel will be held between two new model, each representing a conceptor and a new path and way for us to fight. Depending of the winner the way our country will act and dispense its resources differently."

"Indeed, for security reason only the conceptor they represent will be made public while the change in military comportement are classified." luna finished.

After the princesses speech, it was a white skinned woman with blue hair and some cool shade that barged into the arena at the command of a brightly neon blue painted Torohachi.

"Alright everyone, your favorite DJ is here to explain the rules, give the name of the mad scientist who developed those sweet killing machine and to declare the start of the carnage! But first, the anthem, hit it derpy!"(music name is land of equestria.)

I heard rainbow snickers,"this vinyl, always the same crazy girls even after everything that happened."

"What happened?"

"She lost someone, her sister gleaming shield was in the guard when the war started, it's called the day of cruelty by most now, the others country fell on us so suddenly, no warning or anything, they started killing equestrians on sight all those who were out of equestria were slaughtered in a week and we back home were not spared, ponyville was hit just the same but we fended off the assault at a steep prices, big mac, bonbon, even this crazy spoiled milk and her husband rich made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us. Some only lost an arm, other more. Vinyl's girlfriend was hurt a bit but she was lucky and made it out with a lost leg, she discovered her sister death when the princesses and what was left of canterlot arrived to find shelter with us, it was sad how little of canterlot population was left."

"Who attacked canterlot?"

Her face turned sour,"changeling, they attacked a few years back during twilight's brother wedding but failed. They tried again with a more lethal approach and it did the trick, now they own the city."

I frowned internally,"when i was in space i noticed aries there, does it mean the griffon are allied with the changeling?"

She shook her head,"no, changling MS never appeared on the field, only princess Celestia even saw one and it was century back. They usually steal other races units and do...something to them, there specs increase like crazy but they are...off. They almost look afraid to get hurt."

'interesting...'

""Glory and honour, the Land of Equestria!""

'shit missed the anthem!'

-i recorded it kshatriya, you may listen to it at any time.

'*phew* thanks hacks, an anthem can tell a lot about a country and i need any cultural input i can get if i want to work with equestria.'

"Now partygoers, the rule are simple, no blows at the cockpit for obvious reason, all weapon allowed but please take the surrounding into account since the princess shield as limits, if the MS are flight capable sorry but not allowed above arm reach this thing as to end at some point."

"Oh come on!" dash screamed.

"Well so much for poking fun at her today..."

"The victory condition are surrender of the opponent, loss of consequential mobility, or complete shutdown of the MS. Got it pilots?"

"Got it one hundred percent vinyl!" dash was a lot more determined now, seemed she was eager to end this and take the wing for a flight.

"Understood, ready to pummel the rooky to the ground."

"This voice, Wind Rider?!"

I connected into the private line,"someone important?"

She narrowed her eyes, "you kidding! He was one of the best wonderbolt, he retired before the war and refused the recall order of the princesses, he is the reason i don't tolerate overconfidence and bragging on the field, after the battle and before you gloat all you want but on the field you shut up and put your best game to stay and keep others alive! This bastard, he just leech off its fame and past glory."

"Now that i can agree with you, why did he refuse the recall?"

She huffed, "fear, but mostly he is a lazy cunt, he don't even want to train the new recruit."

I nodded, and focused on vinyl again, "this duel will be between the MS daughtress neo developed by golden age the leader of the MS development team, and the MS/gundam wing developed by equestria newest alien ally from beyond space kshatriya."

Dash and ryder advanced into the field while me and golden age were led to the stage and stood near the princesses.

Luna grinned at me, "so, how fast will she win?"

Celestia rolled her eyes with a smile, "sister, please at least wait for the battle to start, you never know how thing could turn out." she clearly didn't believe into the neo but was trying to stay polite as she drank some tea.

Golden age was no fool and picked on it but glazed over it, "the daughtress neo is by far the best MS developed, he is the culmination of our ancestor accomplishment but modernized and upgraded, he will not be undone by some upstart unit made by a pseudo AI claiming sentience."

My eye twitched, "i am not an AI miss golden, i am a living breathing being whose mind was downloaded into a more useful body, and i am sentient, which is how i can tell with a hundred percent certainty that in the social world you are to be referred as a cunt."

Luna erupted in laughter while celestia spited her tea and choked a bit, golden age was just frozen in place, she slowly turned to me with a rage beyond mortal comprehension.

"How dare you! You freak of a commoner!"

"Your a cunt, just like that, see? Easy."

Luna was barely breathing and celestia decided to cut in. "kshatriya! Do not antagonize lady golden age! And lady golden age, do not use commoner as an insult, all in equestria be them noble or not have the same right, only their responsibility differ."

Me and golden age kept glaring at each other until celestia foot slammed onto the ground and a horn and wings popped on her, "is it clear,?!"

golden age snorted, "verily princess."she bowed and turned to the contestant who had stopped and looked at us in worry.

i shrugged and turned to the duel, "sure, the duel will speak for us anyway."

luna took in a deep breath, "*sigh* indeed, for having tried my modified bertigo, i smell the sweet scent of victory sister, you do remember our bet do you?"

this seemed to calm celestia and actually make her step back a bit, "o-of course i do! how could i forget with you reminding me every day..."

dahs butted in a bit hesitant, "sooo do we start or what?"

rider joined in, "indeed, i have a bottle of wine with my name on it inside my lounge."

i rolled my eyes as vinyl torohachi stepped between them with arms raised, "alright, ready set go!"

i connected to rainbow dash radio, my voice was commanding and overbearing,"crush.him..."

(song for the fight, edited in because reader made me notice i forgot to add one....:twilightsheepish: name is Rhythm Emotion.)

she nodded and dashed forward, the neo unsheathed two blade from its arms and stabbed in a quick one two, dash crouched under it and slammed her shield into its side her thruster helping her movement and sending the neo flying in a screech of metal. to be fair the neo landed on its feet and took stance as dash rapidly closed on him, he throw his arms up and the blades came flying toward the wing, dash simply raised her shield and blocked them, the neo took the opportunity to jump at her and actually double air kick on her shield, that's where the gundam true power showed, the neo had tried to throw dash down using this blow but instead, the wing zero held, the neo was literally standing on the shield as the wing zero legs and arms pistons pushed him back where he came, the neo crashed on its back drawing a groan from ryder.

"h-how?!"

"the gundam wing is stronger than he look, stronger than you can imagine that's how! but allow me a demonstration!" dash grineed.

the wing thruster powered and gundam jumped before diving at the neo, intent to stab it with its shield, the neo rolled to dodge and the gundam landed heavily it's shield buried two third in the ground, the neo grabbed two blade from behind him and and rushed at what he thought was a incapacitated dash, she simply pulled the control stick and the shield was extracted from the ground into a burst of dirt and dust, she blocked the right slash of the neo with her shield and stopped its left stab by grabbing the left hand of the neo, the neo pushed with all its might but the wing didn't budge.

"h-how strong can this thing be?!" ryder clearly was being serious, in all fairness he wasn't a bad pilot but seemed to expect thing to be easy all the time.

-theory, he probably relied purely on its talent and never needed to put in effort to succeed.

'the curse of the genius...'

dash grinned even bigger, almost matching the smile made by pinkie when we met for the first time, "i think i showed off for long enough, time to wrap up."

the wing crushed the neo left hand before kicking its right legs and bending it backward, she pushed its right hand aside while also throwing the shield, she hugged the neo, its cockpit just in front of the gundam face, and started to slowly crush it, ryder tried to reach the plasma blade but it was inside its left legs and the neo lacked said left hand. the sound of metal bending and rupturing pipe was a sweet musing resonating with the teeth of golden age grinding, soon the neo was thin enough for the wing to hug him with one arm, dash right arm was raised and she started to push the chest of the neo backward, effectively forcing it to fold in two, the sight of the wing gundam bending the neo like a napkin was just too much for the equestrian who simply gawked, even dash was just going through the motion with wide eye and a mad smile.

finally, she throwed the folded MS aside, she turned to me and made a double fist pump. "that was awesome!!!"

the whole place erupted into cheer, it seem equestrians were able to recognize when revolution was coming.

"soooo, did i win or did i win?" i asked the princesses and golden age, the latter simply leaving with a angry snarl, the princesses looked at me with wonder, celestia smiled,"you will have the crowns full support, we will build your elites forces, "her smile wasn't the motherly smile she wear all the time, it was the smile of a centuries old cunning ruler who saw an opportunity, it was the smile of a starved beast who found a prey, the prey being all the countries who had become fat from feasting on equestria.

"get ready enemy of equestria, the princesses are releasing the hounds of war..."I said in a joking tone.

luna grinned and whispered to me, "you may be closer to reality than you know, in twelve years, we had the time to train the elements, they were already outstanding individuals but now? they are an elites unit and at the command of the gundam they will be the ones to accomplish mission 'new rise' next week, with your help."

surprise must have flashed even on my static face because celestia looked straight at the wing gundam and rainbow who was talking to the 6 others of the special groups, "at ease kshatriya, we will discute the mission in more detail tomorrow, in the meantime." she turned to the direction golden age had left toward, "i have a weaklink to deal with, as i said 'the thing nobles have over the commoners is responsibilities' and one such noble seem to have lost its use for our country, time for her to retire and open the place to a more efficient element."

i audibly gulped.

luna just smiled, "don't worry kshatriya, my sister has played this game for a long time, and while the nobles do get a few hit on her from time to time she know how to keep them in check, she has ruled this country alone for a thousand years after all, she know how to make them dance." she shrugged and shook her head, "and while sister and i like all our citizens we are at war and cannot afford the courtesy of letting golden age her position until she retire of old age, if she cannot produce the MS we need for the war she has to step down for a more competent person to do so, she may not like it or even understand it but as i said, we are at war we can't afford the courtesy."

i nodded, "i agree but do you have someone in mind?"

celestia nodded, "we do, she has served for a long time into the construction and defense department and while she lack confidence she has idea and talent. i hope you are willing to help her in her project, your kind have years of advance on us in technology development and while i wont ask you to share them maybe you can guide her in the right direction?"

i made thumbs up, "sure, i'll teach her the basic and even help her brainstorm her idea, if she got the will to learn i'll provide the teaching."

while the princess smiled thankful i was doing an internal happy dance.

'follow mecha nerd ahah! follow mecha nerd ahah! how i missed the talk i had on the net about gundam tech and designs! and now it will all be real!'

i spent the evening preparing an data file with technologies on flashcards for my meeting with the future head of the development team.

A New Leader! of the development team....

Things have escalated quickly.

"So if I get it right, by allowing the beam blades to be wider you reduce the cutting power but increase the splash damages? Is it really worth it?" said the woman i had be talking with for the last 4 hours, it had started with the usual princess entering my hangar but this time followed by a new face, before we could even get acquainted she started asking question about me even noticing that my forearm and hands weren't my original one, at least the one of the kshatriya. Rapidly it devolved into a messy and heated yet enjoyable talk on MS, we talked of the equestrian MS technologies first but it was mostly basic stuff for me, it's when we started talking about my body, it got crazy.

"Oh yes it is, if I slash at a MS limb, even if I don't cut it off -wich i would in most case- or just graze it the extensive heat will compromise its structure and damage it's internal too much for it to work. And the wider blade can be used to block beam lasers or bullets."

"Oh! So it's a defensive add on!"

I nodded with I finger raised like a teacher, "yep, i have six blades and can use all of them at the same time so my fighting style is to block or parry and counter attack to force my enemies into defensive position before starting an onslaught of furious slashes with all by blades leaving no opening for counter attack."

The woman was smiling with dreamy eyes,"*sigh* it must be beautiful to see a MS like you fighting. T-though i am sure we can found upgrades you could use i-if we wanted too...i mean! M-maybe."

I snickered, since the start of our conversation she has been going into short burst of bragging but she always backed down at the end, celestia did tell me she had confidence issue though hers are kinda novel. "The princesses said I was joining on a mission sometime soon so you'll have records."

*Squee*

'squee?!'

-squee?

"It's true?! I really can't wait to see them, i just talked with you for a few minutes and I already have so many ideas, and a lot can be made using the technologies you shared with us when you gave us the new MS the bearer pilotes would use."

"About that, I also was going to check on the MS of spike sparkle, see what he look like and decide on the repair it need. Want to come with me, i'll probably use the 3D holographic projector again to simulate the repair as I establish what repair it need."

*Gasp*"if I want to?! I need to! Let's go, don't make me wait."she jumped on her hover car and I led her to the hangar where spike gafran was parked.

Here he was, inside a square storing spot with three bridge surrounding it to give access for the engineers, I looked it over, it was missing it's left arm Which was replaced by a heavily armored daughtress arm with a three fingered hand and while the tail was here the canon had clearly been cut in two. The right arm was equipped with a flamethrower and the chest diffuse beam cannon was -while less potent than the one from gundam- indeed a diffuse beam cannon meaning dragon had beam technologie still, the three long slash across it made it unusable.

My new mech nerd friend sneered, "this MS is a real mess, its unbalanced with too much weight forward and the replacement arm is too armored compared to the rest, the special weapon in its torso is damaged and is a real hazard that could kill the pilot anytime if it misfire, i had read about it but i didn't think it was that bad."

"It's adapted to my fighting style." we both turned to spike atop a nearby bridge, he had a pad into its hand and was grinning at us, "the left arm is more armored to allow blocking attack without risk while i use my my right arm to wield my sword, as for the rest well i tend to plunge forward a little too much i admit."

The new leader of the development team sneered, "a sacrificial brawler then? You do know blocking blow with a limb is damaging the whole MS right? And what about the torso?"

Spike snorted, "the result of my battle speak well of my fighting style and my gafran can take the punishment, and we can't replace the cannon or take it out, the canon isn't built in its the gafran who is built around it. of all the girls enemy to have a change of heart why was it you Faust dammit."

The girl backed away as if struck hard.

I clapped my hand startling everyone inside the hangar, "calm down you two, i don't know if you two have an history and honestly i don't care but spike, she's going to be the new leader of the development team so you and her will see each others often so try to get along."i heard said leader huff in satisfaction and pointed a finger at her,"it's also in your best interest, if you antagonize every pilot like that your creations won't be of much use if they refuse to use them."

"I-i...ok I'll try to stay professional, you ear that gecko? We'll keep our personal feud outside of work."

Spike crossed is arms,"fine by me! And i am not a gecko!"

*sigh*"anyway, i think i can recreate a proper left hand easily enough, I'll put more armor in the spots you use to block but also make them into potential weapon or tools, maybe a serrated steel plate along the forearm to break and bend the enemies blades you block. For the left hand, a big three fingered claw for slashing or a fist with plated knuckle for punching?"

Spike thought about it with a hand on its chin,"i am more used to slashing so i would say the claw."

And the leader of development got the chance to step in,"maybe but you already have a sword for that, some way to inflict blunt damage would be good."

Spike hesitated to dismiss her but relented seeing me nod in thought,"true, could we use both? A smaller hand with both claw and plated knuckles?"

"I can do that, it will be a five clawed hand with plated knuckle then. I'll solve the forward weight problem by fixing the tail, i'll put in a long rang high penetration sniper in it to give you a long range weapon."

Spike grimaced,"bad idea, i'm not good with ranged weapon, i'm not as bad as applejack but i prefer rapid fire weapons since i lack precision."

The leader pinched the bridge of her nose."a long range wide area of effect weapon? If it was that easy to make a development team wouldn't be needed."

"While it isn't easy to make it's doable,hmmm."i looked through my different weapons plans gathering different parts and using my computing system to build a new weapon.

'i'll combine the zeon MS gouf heavy machine gun with special flacks bullets, the belt will path through the tail and by taking out the torso canon using the nanomachines i should gain enough room to stack bullets in spades. The short to medium range flamethrower will be upgraded by adding many retractable beam ribbons, they'll grab the target and drag it into the flames. We will also upgrade the original frame as much as we can while keeping it a gafran.'i nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright everyone!" i said gathering the attention of all the hangar workers and spike and it new frenemy."i have made the plan for the repairs and upgrades, some parts will be made by me but it's up to you to dismantle this bad boy and place the new parts so let's get to it!"

The equestrian rushed along my command, as for the new development team leader, she looked at me from what she thought was a blind spot but the camera all over my body picked it up, she had this determined and passionate look, one that said:'i'll be like this one day too.'

'she's way more fitting for this position don't you think hacks?'

-agreement, during your conversation i picked an increase in neuronal activity of 35 % from you kshatriya, it accelerated the MS-BB development by 11% making it 79% complete, the remaining % are the arousal and sexual system.

"Miss kshatriya?"i turned to the leader,"I'd like to thank you personally for allowing me to reach this position, since the last 5 years i have been trying to help equestria but my now useless magic wouldn't give me the confidence to go on the field, i am a coward but i refuse to be a leech. I will do all i can to produce the best Mobile Suit for our forces, or i am not called trixie lulamoon."

I was very impressed by her speech until i noticed,"ah! This was what we forgot to do!" i bowed lightly,"i am kshatriya, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Eh? Oh! Right well, i-i am the motivated and determined Trixie Lulamoon, and i hope your f-f-f-friend." she ended with a stutter and a blushing face while avoiding my eye.

*chuckle,*"sure thing trixie, follow mecha nerd stand together right?"

She smiled and nodded, we spent the rest of the day monitoring and helping the gafran rework.

__________________________________________________

Two day later, celestia and luna invited the newly named unit ' the rainbow guides' because they have 7 members made of rarity, applejack,pinkie pie,rainbow dash, fluttershy, twilight sparkle and spike sparkle. And because they will be the one to lead forward the equestrians counter attacks, along them was also maud and sunset.

They all sat on a table in front of me with with folder in front of them, even me.

Celestia stood up,"as i told you all some time ago, a mission of extreme importance was to happen soon, the mission is called 'new rise', it is the first step to equestria counter attack and dare i say one of capital importance."

Twilight eye widened, "wait you mean?"

Luna noded,"new rise objective is the retaking of equestria old capital canterlot and free the royal guards and the nobility knight held prisoners there, but also the MS of my sister and most of equestria old units hidden there."

Celestia took over,"in the folders in front of you you will found that in the past equestria had a large army of MS, they were used to hunt down and destroy the many threat left by discord rule and later the army of grogar followed by those of sombra, as you can expect the bigger part of those units are damaged beyond operational capacity, but!"

Maud nodded,"we could use the material from scraping them to built new MS using kshatriya blueprints, each of your gundam drained our stock of ressources and i don't think we can produce only units of this caliber. We should reduce the specs for a mass produced model."

I shook my head,"i don't like the idea to mass produce weak units, it's not cost effective with how much we would lose in term of units and pilots."

Rainbow grimaced,"talking of pilot kshatriya, it's also one of the gundam problem, i piloted the wing and i can tell you for sure most pilot will struggle piloting it, they are simply too reactive and powerful. Every step you take you have to measure not only to keep the balance but also no to overshot. And don't get me started on the grip on the weapon, i feel i might crush my sword handle every time i block a blow and if i ease the grip i have to be careful not to let it slip off my hand. Average pilot will still get killed because of the new model specs, because of them being to high for them that is."

I thought of otto piloting the tallgeese, unable to pilot it actually."that's... I didn't think of that, I'm so used to exceptional pilot i seem to have forgotten that they are, indeed, exceptional."

Everyone nodded in either realization or agreement, sunset talked next."we could also use the old ether reactors here, with them we could increase the wall mass and speed, even upgrade it for it to do more precise shape than a basic wall, we wouldn't be able to do overly complex thing but we could make him shape room and allway gaining time by not having to dig them out."

Applejack hummed,"this raise the question of what will we do if we indeed retake canterlot."

Rarity frowned,"what do you mean darling?"

"I mean will we move our base operation there after all the work we have done here?"

Celestia shook her head,"no it's too dangerous, the changeling had more than enough time to map the entire city and i don't doubt open new entry and secret passages, beside the wall cannot be used as efficiently as here."

"Instead celestia and i decided the best thing to do would be to simply recycle canterlot."

We all looked at luna like she had lost her mind and pinkie pie asked unsure,"princess you do know we are talking of a city right? A like really big city! Built on a mountain?!"

Luna smiled,"i do, and sister too but this is why we gathered you today, to explain our plan in details."

Celestia grabbed the folder on the table and opened it,"the first step of the plan is for the heavyarms and the sandrock to assault the gate of the city with the regular army and the modified grandeen, using the ruckus as a cover for agent feral' who will have to sneak in with the deathscythe so that she may reach the prisoner, canterlot isn't into the magic negation tower range so you will be given an MS teleporter panel, once the gate open we will send in the wing gundam and the shenlong, the wing gundam speed will allow it to help both frontline while the other two will assure the safety of the prisoner during the evacuation. understood everyone?"

i raised a hand,"what are those panel and where do i feet in this plan?"

celestia turned to sunset who nodded,"the teleporter panel work like the eject system installed into our MS to save our pilots, except instead of a instantaneous teleportation it create a gate between two place and let people and object pass freely, its an MS scaled gate so it allow for massive transportation, the problem is its proportional energy consumption who make it impossible to power it with only technologie, it instead use magic to power itself, once magic isn't fed to it...the technologic part take over and we have only up to 20 minutes before the energy run out and the gate need to be closed."

maud turned to me with a cold look,"its can be very dangerous, if the portal is not closed but left open till the entire energy is gone it collapse and the whole surrounding is erased in a large area."

everyone nodded in serious understanding, celestia then turned the folder page,"it's also the reason why your mission will be a furtive one kshatriya, once a gate is opened the changling will notice it and try to use the short range mana jammers they stole to the griffin, if they get and remain in range the gate will have to be shut down or will collapse, so while the deathscythe infiltrate the prison you and luna in her bertigo will go for the place where the remnant of the old equestria army is hidden with the panel, once both team are ready you will open the portal at the same time, a recovery team will go through yours and luna's portal to transport the remnant, while you ensure their safety luna will reach for my MS deeper inside enemy line, under the castle."

i crossed my arms,"i don't like the princess going alone into the enemy fort..."

luna laughed before answering,"don't worry friend, i will not go above ground, i will just pick the MS and come back before you know it. beside the changling will be more focused on the prison to even see me coming, the prisoner are a vital resource for changeling, i won't go into the detail but trust me on this."

"i hope so, i really do."

we made the last adjustment to the plan and decided to go to bed, the mission would take place the same day of the next week, a sunday, they day of a 'new rise'.

Author's Note

and done!

i hope you like it and approve of our the new leader of the development team.

for those who had idea on who it would be just share them in the comments and i'll think about them the next time i need a new character, OC are alright too, i actually need three new character, either canon or OC, i have two character for the five newcomer but i leave to you too give the name for the possible last three, if not enough is given i have a few idea but it would be funnier wit yours, take into account that certain mlp character cannot appear since they have role to play later on but i won't say which to prevent spoil.

the five newcomer will be important character but can still die.

I REPEAT, IN MY STORY ANY CHARACTER CAN DIE ASIDE OF THE MANE SIX KSHATRIYA AND THE PRINCESS CAN DIE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. (either sniper or ambush all is possible in war, even poisoning.)

so be sure you can see you oc or favorite mlp character die before putting them under the spotlight, wednesday is the last day i can accept names, it should give me just enough time to write the chapter before sunday.

you will see this battle a week from now, and be ready for a battle filled chapter. :pinkiehappy:

Assault on canterlot

Author's Note

turn out the chapter is too big for my ~3000~words by chapter standard so here the first bit and the next one can come out anytime from tomorrow at best to next sunday at worst.(probably saturday. only other day aside sunday where i have the time to write for 4/5 hours straight without yawning every ten minutes or seeing only blurred smudge on my screen. i choose a tiring job so got to sleep early :ajsleepy:)

anyway, see you later.:twilightsmile:

Assault on canterlot

It was very early in the morning, the sun wasn't even up yet and me and luna in her bertigo were crouching inside of the forest named everfree near ponyville, we were facing canterlot but still out of sight, the other furtive member of this mission was at the top of canterlot mountain on the other side to hide from changeling guards view, fluttershy had taken the night before to get into position unseen, the record i had from her deathscythe camera taught me i had a lot to learn from her in the furtive departement, the woman was practically invisible and inside a 16 meter tall, 7 ton war machine it was a fantastic show of skills, it did convince me she was more than the right choice to trust with testing any new equipment.

"Kshatriya luna, are you in position?"i heard celestia voice in my head.

"We are, we are awaiting your command."luna nodded

(music)

Celestia took a deep breath,"soldier of equestria! Today we are starting our counter attack, today we will show the world we are not prey to their cruelty! today we rise with the sun on a new era! We are the one who made an empire who lasted two thousand years! We have faced wannabe gods and necromancers with our heads held high and bravery in our heart! even though allies and enemy answered our call for unity, friendship and harmony with violence, if violence is the only language they afford us we will speak their language untill they fear the very idea of it! make them fear the shadow we cast on them! we will be their terror personified, this day may end and the dawn come soldiers but our rise him will never stop! so rise soldier of equestria! rise for justice! rise for glory! rise for you friends! rise for your loved one! and rise for the soldiers beside you! for.equestria!!!"

""For equestria!""

I observed through my camera as the sun suddenly shot through the sky, piercing the darkness and bathing no- flooding! The world in its blinding light, the cry of pain and surprise from the blinded guards of canterlot were heard even here but i didn't take the time to listen to them as me and luna charged while the enemy where blinded, we were moving toward the hidden entrance at the foot of the mountain, we would be out of communication range once inside or at least until i fucking pierced a hole inside the mountain from inside to restore a connection then we would open the gate and evacuate.

"Here it is kshatriya, just behind the waterfall!"

I scanned the place and found an hollow space behind the rock, i released four funnel who cutted us an entry and we jumped inside and through the waterfall.

"Sister! We are inside, good luck, give them tartarus!"

_____________________________________

Third person Pov

"Sister! We are inside, good luck, give them tartarus!"

(music)

Celestia smiled,"oh we will sister."she seated on her seat, and looked at the screen inside the grandeen command center, her troops made of daughtress upgrades with the new cheap but efficient frame kshatriya had designed to solve their units rough reaction and improvised control system. "All unit be ready to enter the city! We must make use of the enemy panic and deal a maximum amount of damage, heavyarm authorization to attack!"

A mad laughter filled the radio as a spinning sound started to pick up,"ahahahahah here come the party cannons meany!"

*ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata*

The heavyarms arm-mounted gatling opened fire and rained death at 12000 round per minute or 200 round per second. Tearing apart everything on her screen, aries were slaughtered and exploded in green flame even behind the wall as said wall was seemingly erased by pinkie mad gunning, the equestrian and changling alike looked in terror as shell covered the ground near pinkie while she kept laughing more and more before finally the gatling started to slow down.

"Ffffuuuukkkk! Here come the climax!" the heavyarms shoulder opened and six homing missile burst forth, they flew over canterlot before falling down on a casern from which changeling units were coming out, the explosion sent a tremore through the city and started the full on battle for real, daughtress fly, cannon and command rushed into the city over the remain of the wall and opened fire on the aries and green painted daughtress the changling used.

"To me, regroup and push them back!"screamed a beta changeling inside a torus, he was doing is best to form a united front but the gamma changeling were in shamble and wouldn't respond.

"What the fuck is going on?! Since when equestrian have such high specs knight frame?!"is eyes widened and he turned around just in time to block a curved blade from dissecting him in two with its heated sword.

"Lets just say we got our MS updated recently!"

"Y-you are one of the elements?!" he tried to push her back but instead the woman disarmed him with a flick of her shotel before bringing down the others, the blade cut clean trough and the torus exploded.

The sandrock walked through with shotels at the ready, the green flame reflecting on its plating,"so those new units of us are that much stronger? No...even the upgraded daughtresses have an easy time now, our enemies are actually this bad we are just realising it now since we now have up to standard MS's."she grinned,"hope you see this big mac, our rise!" she rushed back into the fray, slashing with a brutal violence, soon the changeling were fleeing and hiding from her sight, the sandrock no longer an enemies but a terror made physical.

"Stop hiding and running you vermin' !!!!" Applejack threw both her shotel and claimed two life before plucking the shotel off the air on their way back by jumping high and spinning she then stashed them and grabbed her heat whip, she used the whip to get hold of a torus flying by and use him as a lift around the battlefield, she pelted the ground with her vulcans before finally yanking on the whip forcing the torus into crash landing, she walked to the downed torus trying to stand up and stepped on him to keep him down,"should've get the fuck out of our country when we asked nicely..." she crushed the torus under her weight as she walked over him toward the changling deeper into the city leaving behind only ruined MS covered in green fire and terror, a lot of terror.

Fluttershy had jumped into the city behind enemy line when the battle started, her deathscythe was covered into the black cloth she had worn to sneak close during the night. She was a few street away from the prison when she heard the explosion from pinkie missile.

"Pinkie, while i'm thankful for the diversion, don't make the city collapse while we're on it please, i mean if you want to..."

"Oh~~that was good*nnnggg*."

"!!!" fluttershy rapidly cut the link to pinkie pie,"she know no shame..."she said in a serious tone, her blushing cheeks and small smile the only thing betraying her own naughtiness.

"Theres an intruder here!" fluttershy turned to the aries surrounded by a mix of daughtress and aries who had noticed her while she was unfocused.

"Damnit pinkie!" she pressed a button and the additional shoulder plates holding her cape unlocked revealing the deathscythe its main weapon in hand, she powered her thruster and dashed close to the ground under the enemy fire, she put her free hand down and pushed driving both her MS foot into one of the aries head sending it upward, she jumped after him and hided behind it from the enemy fire, she grabbed her meatshield and threw it at them and shooted it with her shell cannon till it exploded creating a smoke screen, the changling formed a circle rapidly covering each other back but the deathscythe was already among them, all the changling saw as a ominous green light formed behind them, they turned to see...

"A-a-a demon!"

The blade slashed and reaped their lives, the lasts to die seeing how the blade had killed their comrade before even touching their MS. The weapon heat could reach them even in their cockpits, melting eyes and cooking innard in the instant before the burning blade could tore through their MS with seemingly supernatural ease.

The last changling, a upstart alpha named 'raw le cricket' inside a half melted torus was still alive and listened in terror as the enemy made a quick report to its command,the voice was cold yet beautiful, he would call it the whisper of lady death herself."command center? Here unit deathscythe, i was detected and will slaughter my way in from now, over."

'd-death s-sight?! The equestrian have death herself among their rank?! Q-queen Mother!!!'

He looked as the fiery scythe wielding knight frame walked deeper into the city, he passed out soon after.

Fluttershy for her part, did as she said, she spread death over the changling like the lord of pest itself but instead of moving toward the prison she moved to the aeroport at the city edge,

"Command center here is agent feral, i have reached the airport while trying to lure the enemy away from the prison before going there, should i program the airship here to fly back to ponyville?"

"Agent feral, here the command center the orders are to send all that can be sent to the everfree, we will gather them later once they were checked for changelings and traps. The rest is to be destroyed."

"Feral here, understood."fluttershy moved her deathscythe out of sight and got out, she was wearing a beige almost white military jumpsuit who stopped at the tight and shoulder revealing her thin clawed limbs. Her ample breast where held in place by a tick harness who also secured her tick scarf who's end was flapping behind her. She jumped down her prosthetic letting her land like a cat without hurting herself. She crawled on all four with her legs bending backward and making unsettling clicking sound on the marble floor. She moved from sheep to ship unnoticed sometime crawling on the ceiling or even climbing on passing changling MS. She sent all those who had autopilot so mostly heavy carrier for long distant shipping before finally reaching the last flying ship, a military A-grade battleship named daybreak, made by celestia in hope to dissuade warring country when wars started to pop around, a failure since the ship was magic powered, even worst it was built around a magic ether reactor so impossible to repurpose.

Fluttershy frowned,"won't be able to take this one, the changling have been doing to it what they do to MS it seem..."she noted while looking at the changling filling the ship with green goo containers from her observation point on the ATC tower roof, "its too big for the deathscythe to destroy it by himself without risking collateral damage in the explosion."

"Feral? Command here do you recieve?"

Fluttershy pressed her ear-com,"command, feral here, i receive you clearly."

"Change of plan, let the side mission go and rush for the prison, from the regal unit estimation of the regal-mercenary team they will be in place soon and wait for you, the sandrock as drown the attention away from the prison and the heavyarms is preventing aries from scouting from the sky so you should be able to go there unnoticed."

"Understood command center, i'm moving."she rapidly made her way back but found a small group of five changling trooper around her deathscythe,'a trooper patrol?'

All the changling were alike, two small pointy horns on the head and plates of thin black chitin spread around the body, they were armed with the capture weapons named needler they were known for, it fired two inch long crystal like spike that stabbed the target and drained its inner magic weakening it for capture, they also had the side arms goo-thrower who shot a sticky substance to glue particular though target in place long enough for more spike to be planted.

The changling to the left asked the others,"what is that? A new units the hunter brought back?"

"Maybe, they do bring a lot of stuff recently, but i've never seen one looking like that..."

"Hey ever thought of becoming a pilot?"

"Don't be crazy e.x.p-626, you gamma should focus on your simpleton jobs and stop dreaming of glory, then maybe you'd be useful!"said the newly arrived changling with fully grown horn and a bigger right arm with a chitinous blade on the forearm.

'an alpha!' thought fluttershy, the changling were a caste based society with privilege and responsibility spread among the different cast, going from top to bottom one queen, two reproducteurs/generals, the primas made up of the most competent element of the changling races be it military or not. The alpha who were the highest ranked among the regular citizen and the one allowed grown horns for full use of magic. The beta, the first level allowing changling genetics modification and then the gamma, the one who barely escaped or got out of the last cast and were treated as peoples.

The last cast was the drones, for them freedom was nonexistent and there life weren't their, instead the queen, prima, and alpha imposed their orders directly into the drone's minds and made them want downward need to do them.

She felt someone grab her hair and forcefully throw her into view,"what a lucky find, hey look what we got here alpha roach. Half a mare ahahah." she turned to see the changling with chitinous spiked shoulder pads but small horn,'a beta too?'

The alpha named roach grinned,"don't really matter, the useful part are left so its good for me."

Fluttershy stood up slowly her head low, the alpha walked close,"let me guess, a spy from the attacking equestrian eh? Well look like we got ourselves a prisoner boys, and a bed warmer too eheheh argh?!"the alpha backpedaled as he choked on its own blood, fluttershy for her part was looking at the windpipe she was holding in her right claw,"that is why i wear jumpsuit, always draw the attention away from my claw." she jumped on the five troopers in a flurry of claw, she slashed one across the face gooding its eyes and landed on another's shoulders with its head between her tight, she stabbed both hand claws into its neck and jumped backward landing on the blinded changling, her clawed foots gutting him. She got hold of another that tried to stab her with a knife and started strangling him with an headlock, she grabbed the needler of the trooper behind her with a clawed foot ripping it from its grasp before pointing it at him and pulling the trigger with said foot unloading the magasin in its throat killing him for sure, she pulled one last time on the head of the one she was strangling and a satisfying crack resounded in the hangar. The last trooper was dispatched when she threw the empty needler across the room and it slammed behind the fleeing changling head making it fall with a heavy thud and a cracked skull.

Fluttershy turned to the beta, the only survivor, he looked at her in fright yet its beta pride made him roar in defiance and rush at her, intent on ramming its spiked shoulder pads in her guts, fluttershy crouched and tensed before taking hold of the changling shoulder a he rammed in her, her clawed feet dug into the ground and she...stopped him dead in its charge.

"H-how?!"the beta said its voice strained as he still tried to advance.

"You don't need to know."she pushed down forcing him to kneel and slammed her knee in its face, she then grabbed hold of its head with a foot and jumped before spinning, the head made a full 720 degree turn while the body stayed in place and the neck literally exploded in gore as the head was unscrewed from its owner body. Fluttershy landed on one foot before the other slammed the head on the ground flattening it.

"Fly like a butterfly...maul like a bear."she turned around and climbed into the deathscythe,"command center, feral here, i'm back inside the deathscythe and moving to the prison." as soon she finished a giant green beam exploded from the mountain top,"i need to get to the prison as fast as i can!"

Kshatriya pov

Me and luna were deep inside the mountain rushing through a long and tortuous upward tunnel of rough stone, i was at the front from my own insistence, we had no idea if the changelings had found this place and i sure as hell wouldn't let luna hog all the fu- i mean risk her life in a battle with entire company of ms...

'i-i want to fight some MS, it's been too long and there is soooooo many outside...'*slurp*

-kshatriya you can't salivate how did you-

'it's not importante!'

"I can see the exit!" i said intent on stopping any sidetracking.

"Indeed kshatriya. Behold my friend, the equestrian army of old."she said as we burst through. And behold i did, row upon row of Gundam RX-78, i landed and slowly walked forward scanning all of them, they were made of gundarium, a cheap alloy made partially of gundanium and their weapon were those magic based one the princesses told me about, from what i understood they could be used outside the tower ranges but small portative system were made and while something as powerful as a well made teleportation gate or their walls could resist even multiple of them for a time a mana saber or bolt would be snuffed out almost immediately upon entering their ranges.

"Luna, with those i could remake the gundam armors into the one they should have!"

"Really?! Those almost impenetrable one you told use about? Fantastic!"

"I know right!"

"Uhm, is there perhaps enough for uhm...more MS?"

"Maybe, i don't know how much of the necessary material was used making this alloy or how much of said alloy we can salvage since well..." i turned to the Gundam RX-78 who were all pretty banged up honestly most missed whole limb and sometime more, i saw at least 30 with barely any plating on them.

"*sigh*well we did say they were damaged beyond use." luna said depressed.

"It's still more than a good loot luna. But for now, i have to create an opening for us to contact the command center."

"Indeed thought while you did say you had a way too i still have my doubt we are still deep into the mountain and the wall are pretty tick, i hope it won't take too long..."

Two of kshatriya wing collided in front of her to form a wall,"oh don't doubt it will be done in a fucking second."two of her mega particle cannon started to power up rapidly filling at max power.

Luna eyes widened along the ominus green light growing inside kshatriya wings.

"Kutabare!!!!"

-kutabare....

*vvvvvvoooooooommmmmm!!!*

The beam collided with ceiling but instead of it exploding it melted and has the beam passed right through canterlot mountain stone. The beam bursted from the mountain in grand fashion making the entire battle pause and the equestria once again think 'just how many time will she surprise us like that?!'. The beam kept going for a bit before thinning out and disappearing, yet the beam was seen far beyond canterlot or even ponyville, and would surely draw the griffin attention, it was now a race against time for more reason than the changelings.

Kshatriya looked at the 30 meter wide hole into the ceiling and spread her wing while she did like she was washing her hand ,"alright, window to the outside done! Command center? Do you receive me?"

"H-here command center we- whoa!"

"J-just give me that, kshatriya what in the name of tartarus was that?!"celestia said in a panicked yet excited voice.

"My weapon with the biggest amount of raw fire power, it's kind of power hungry though even for me."

"*sigh* j-just forget it, feral will be ready any moment now- "

"Feral here, i am ready when you are."

Celestia nodded, "open the gate in 10 second starting..now!"

Luna counted while i deployed the panel, i placed it on the ground and pressed my foot on the button at the edge and it deployed into a loop a bit smaller than me but still big enough for two MS side by side to pass.

""3.2.1 opening the gates""me and fluttershy said at the same time.

The loop crackled with electricity and a soon what looked like a window formed, a window connected to a hangar in ponyville, i moved aside letting a long line of Torohachi pass who started disassembling and carrying the gundam RX-78 through the gate, it was like a ant colony.

luna came up to me,"now that this is done, i can go for my sister MS, i advise you to go up this window you opened and prevent them from entering, you could also help as a marksman from above the city."

"okay, be careful princess~~ and if you need help just call, i'll be here faster than any other MS could."i said while moving away and waving my hand at her, i jumped and powered my thruster to fly up the window, i had MS to destroy and gundam fan urges to satiate after all.

-shouldn't the princess safety matter more than entertainment to us kshatriya?

"it does, it's why i'm going to draw all the attention to me and empty this big towering castle of all its its little soldier.all.of.them fufufu"

-kshatriya are you making innuendo with the castle in an attempt to increase battle induced orgams chance?

"i was a very sexually active woman don't judge me~~"i whined while holding my head.

-...

_______________________________________________________________________

while kshatriya was moving toward the battlefield, a crowned woman stirred from her sleep. she had a long crooked horn and two translucent wings, she had a gray skin with small black spot on her arm and legs from old wounds celestia inflicted to her century ago that were healed with the changeling now copious reserve of love, taken from the pony celestia ruled no less, truly a just repayment for the century of pain she endured with every movement. she was tall and thin by most race standard but to changeling she was actually close to chubby, a view leftover from their species almost constant starving, also while she had humble breast her butt was perfectly shaped and round from one of her regular royal activity.

"*yawn* i hate waking up from post eggs-laying sleep, i always feel starved." an explosion resounded and shook the castle.

"wha-guards!"two hulking twin changling prima with three long horn and thick sleek chitinous armors and two giant crossed blades behind their back entered,""yes our queen?""

she stood up not bothered by her nakedness and walked to the window,"what is going on?! i was asleep from the last eggs laying."

"the equestrian are attacking, the alpha and beta are holding the line while thprime are getting the counter attack ready."

the queen visibly relaxed,"oh, just the equestrian? well then i have to get ready, i always feel upset after laying eggs and i could use some practice target to vent on, get someone to get my broodmother ready while i dress and double time boys!"

they kneeled,""yes queen mother!""and left.

chrysalis laughed,"oh i can't wait to ear their agony as i empty them of their love!"

Fangs of the Enemy

_______________________________________
Third POV

Fluttershy was looking over the prisoners as they passed through the gate, rarity and rainbow were already outside dealing with the changeling army who had started rushing here as soon as they opened the portal, she could have joined them but she decided it was safer to stay with the prisoner incase one of the enemy passed through even if she doubted it greatly, rainbow and rarity were the best when it came to attention on the battlefield, rainbow had a large view of the battlefield from above and could deduct the enemy objective with sheer instinct while rarity was very observant with detail and calculated into her positionnement making the enemies unable to ignore her to rush forward.

"Deathscythe here command center do you receive me?"

"I receive you clearly command."

"We received strange report from the regular army about the changling movement, something is moving toward you, something big and its surrounded by at least 15 torus and around 50 to 70 leo and aries from the griffin mixed together, i also have a few report of virgo but nothing certain yet so it might be faulty report from nervous pilots, princess celestia said she remember seeing movement like that from her first conflict with changeling a few century ago but can't recall more than that it was connected to their queen making a move."

"So chrysalis is entering the fray?"that was interesting, chrysalis was rarely putting herself in danger except when she was sure to be safe, this mean she was underestimating them right now.

"Possible, you are the most assassination oriented units we have on the field, we are sending spike through the gate to take your place while you switch to VIP elimination duties."

Fluttershy frowned, while she acknowledged chrysalis assassination worth, she also valued her compatriot lives more than that."spike's gafran isn't fully repaired, can't you ask the sandrock to move to my position instead?"

"Impossible deathscythe, sandrock and heavyarms are preventing the prison to be surrounded which would lead to the shenlong and wing to be overwhelmed, the gafran of spike is operational enough to deal with a potential enemies breakthrough, this is the occasion to free equestria from the changling menace, even wounding the queen could force them to retreat out of equestria border back in the badland for safety."

*sight*"very well command center, send him here and i'll move on to my new mission."

She looked as spike's gafran entered in view through the portal, the diffuse cannon was gone and instead a fully fledged torso was made, the tail had been fixed but the rest was still like before, the new arm wasn't installed and it still got the heavy armored daughtress arm. Even the balance isn't fixed yet even if the tail gatling helped, the flamethrower wasn't upgraded yet either.

"Alright spike, i'll leave this place to you, stay focus and don't rush out. Those people safety is our main objective in this whole entire mission, if we're lucky it might be the last time we face an organized changling army."

"Don't worry, i know. Good luck in your mission, reap this cunt to shred, for me twilight and shining."

Fluttershy just nodded, what was one to say when a friend ask you to kill the murderer of its and one of your best friend parents?

She rushed outside using the backdoor used for deliveries around her the sound of battle were omnipresent and relentless, she crouched behind a wall as a party of arise flew over her closely followed by the wing in bird mod taking shot at them using the anti tank rifle kshatriya had prepared for her at the last minutes after they discovered how much rainbow disliked the grenade launcher, rainbow easily dispatched three aries before passing above them and transforming mid flight landing heavily on the one in lead forcing it on the ground, she glided on its broken frame and shot down the last one without even looking.

"You can come out shy, why are you here by the way, shouldn't you be protecting the prisoners?"

I can't hide from you dash, as always. She came out of her hiding,"new orders, chrysalis is on the move, i am sent on VIP elimination mission and spike is taking over for me inside."

"Wasn't the gafran still in repair?"dash said before aiming and shooting through a building destroying a leo she had seen through the building aligned windows for a fraction of second.

"He was, its operational but not optimal, it will have to do for now. I'll try to be quick but i can't miss this opportunity."

Rainbow nodded,"okay, i'll warn rarity and we will double our effort to prevent enemies from slipping in, good hunt shy and stay safe."

Shy noded and left. She Moved unseen between the buildings toward the changeling cohort. From time to time she would hide from patrol and sentry flying over her but it was getting harder and harder the closer she got to the targeted area near the MS hangar.

Fluttershy looked around from her hiding spot behind the MS armory, there was 20 leo and 15 torus around the hangar, she had passed the rest unseen but it was still too many to deal with fast enough to get chrysalis before she fled."command center here deathscythe, i have the target hiding spot in visual but i can't get any closer without a diversion..."

"Deathscythe, princess celestia here, the grandeen weapons system includes four medium caliber artillery cannons, if you mark the target using your optic camera we would bombard the enemy position from here."

"And with enough luck it will reduce their number enough for me to dispose of them quickly and rush to chrysalis before she escape, very well, i am marking the most crowded positions."

Fluttershy aimed at the sentry tower and the densest regroupement marking four position in total.

"Deathscythe we received the coordinates, firing now, get under cover."

*boom**boom**boom**boom* four explosion where heard followed by the whistling of shells falling, the explosion wracked the ground in a noise of thunder and raising a screen of dust and a shower of stone and steel wreckages. Fluttershy peeked to assess the enemies situation, only three torus left with one on the ground trying to stand up, she bursted from her hiding spot turning her scythe into a spear and jumped, she landed shoving her spear through the fallen torus, one of its friend took to the sky while the other rushed her with its heat sword slashing at her back, she changed her weapon from spear to scythe and in reverse grip she stabbed the torus cockpit from the side, she stood up and twirled the weapon in her hand making it into a spear again and throwing it like a javelot to the last torus and hit it just under the cockpit, she walked to the downed torus and grabbed her spear turning it into a scythe still inside it the blade bursting from its head after passing through the cockpit making it explode.

"Commande center the sentry are finished, i am moving to the hangar now i-"fluttershy eye snapped to the right and she jumped aside barely dodging the shell who exploded where she just was. She turned around and her eyes widened.

"My,my~~i know those movement, like a butterfly, sadly for it the gracious butterfly as flown right into the voracious spider nest. Tell me little butterfly, what may have brought you in my home?"the voice of the new threat was suave and reverbated eerily.

*tch*"commande center, the mission has just gotten a lot more complicated."she said observing the 35 meter tall, four legged monstrosity. It had two large claw on its sides and the upper body of a MS wielding a big anti tank cannon.

Chrysalis laughed,"you like it? It's the very first changeling developed castle frame, truly a wonder of technology!"she aimed at fluttershy and fired, electricity crackled as the linear cannon electromagnetically accelerated the steel shell it used as ammunition, the bullet left the chamber with a thunder noise and fluttershy once again barely dodged.

"Here unite deathscythe, i need assistance asap, the changeling deployed a mobile armor! I repeat mobile armor on the field!" she powered her thruster and focused on dodging, she couldn't just rush knowing nothing of chrysalis unit, one of the thing all mobile armor had was a wide array of weapons, and until she knew all of them it was nothing less of a sudden deathmatch for her, if she rushed to slash at chrysalis literally anything could suddenly be aimed at her and kill her.

"Ahahahah! What is the problem butterfly?! Didn't you come here to kill me?! Then come!"chrysalis unit lifted from a few meter above ground and glided toward fluttershy its claw at the ready and linear cannon shooting at her, for her part fluttershy decided to simply dodge until renfort came.

"Deathscythe, here is kshatriya, if you can lure her toward the mountain we could exchange, you keep the recovery team safe and i deal with the mobile armor."

Fluttershy took the time to think about it, while she couldn't beat a mobile armor on 1v1 she was sure kshatriya could, the 111 ton, 34 meter tall and heavily armed kshatriya certainly could."very well i am heading toward you, can i hope for cover fire from someone?"

Dash joined in the conversation,"i will cover you from above, hit and run tactic and don't show her off, it's when she is sure to have the upper hand that she's the least dangerous."

"Understood."

_________________________________________________________________________________
Kshatriya POV

'oh this is going to be good'

-kshatriya, the mobile armor is in scanning range.

Kshatriya looked at the enemy MA,'alright let's see what it-!!!'

"Oy oy you got to be kidding me! An Agrissa Type 7!"

-it also carry the actual weapon of the Agrissa Type 7, from the scan it has the linear canon, the plasma cannon and field and the carbon claw are present too.

"Then it's our first true battle, the rest was trash but this one is a real opponent."

-the deathscythe will be in range for it to leap at our position into 15 second, the deathscythe won't be able to dodge the linear cannon in flight i recommend a synchronized leap to protect the deathscythe.

'i agree.

"Fluttershy, jump here in 10 second, i'll cover you."' kshatriya readied herself, wing flared and thruster powered, she took out her two plasma sword and when the counter reaches 0,"now!"

Both units jumped,"oh no you don't little butterfly!"chrysalis fired with the linear cannon but before the bullet could tear into the deathscythe back a beam shield was formed from three of kshatriya funnel and intercepted the shell before going back in her wing.

"No you don't!"screamed kshatriya in the open channel.

Chrysalis eye widened from seeing a unit as big as her mobile armor and moving at such speed. Kshatriya brought down her beam sabers but the Agrissa slided aside and opened its lower bay allowing its plasma cannon to shoot. But even while dodging kshatriya stayed on the offensive, she dodged beam after beam and shell after shell and closed the distant little by little.

"W-what is that?! Dammit you actually baited me into a trap! Me?! The queen of changelings!" the Agrissa stopped moving backward and instead rushed forward surprising the kshatriya.

'what- the Agrissa is not made for melee against big unit! What is she doing?!'

Chrysalis landed on the kshatriya throwing it on its back and clamping its claw around it blocking its arms

"Die and give me your castle frame you lower life form!" chrysalis powered the plasma field intent on using the antie pilot property of the weapon to safely retrieve this "castle frame".

'h-hacks what is that maddening hitching?'

-its the plasma field effect on the computer housing your consciousness, i recommend immediate action to free yourself kshatriya.

"G-got it!"even with her arms against her side kshatriya had many way to attack, her eye pulsed and she brought out her wings blades intent on severing the four legs of the Agrissa.

Chrysalis snarled,"why.won't.you.die!"the plasma cannon aimed downward right onto the kshatriya chest.

'hacks phase shift armor she's too close for i-field!'

The kshatriya turned grey as the plasma beam crashed on her.

The wing and deathscythe watched the battle with holded breath, kshatriya had not only pushed back the Agrissa but actually forced chrysalis into going all out and use all the weapons at her disposition with little to show for it, kshatriya seemed to have a counter at everything.

"Enough with you Kiseichū(parasite)!"kshatriya slashed the agrissa four leg and two claw and grabbed the main frame, she powered the radiant wave surger and unloaded,"i'm sure you'll make a nice pop Konchū(insect)!"

"I-i won't die! Not like this!"chrysalis pressed the uncoupling button and her MS -a union flag custom- separated from the agrissa and flew higher as it exploded, she was joined by five Palace Guard Type which two of them being custom model with large sword on their back and thicker arms and longer wings. Five others were keeping the wing gundam at a distance from their queen.

"You win this one equestrian! But it's not over, i destroyed your new castle frame and once i have gathered my army i'll have the final laugh in the end, as always!"

They moved away in direction of the aeroport while kshatriya freed herself from the agrissa wreckage.

"*tch* they are already this far?"

-their unit seem to focus on speed, probably because of their tendency to capture MS of others country demand from them to be able to catch up to their target.

"Once this mission is over i'll make myself a new long range weapon. About that, command center what is the mission statut, the assassination was a failure but the changling MA was destroyed."

"Commande center here, the prisoner evacuation is over, the retrieval of the old equestrian army too. We are now waiting for the princess luna to rejoin us with princess celestia MS."

The voice of rarity interrupted the communication,"well she better be done soon, because chrysalis called for reinforcement..."

"What? Shenlong, command center here, please more information. Chrysalis just left its battle with kshatriya she can't be back with reinforcement already."

Pinkie panicked voice reached them,"here heavyarms, the daybreak is on the move, it distanced itself from the city a few minutes ago, just when chrysalis started going crazy over the open channel. Its broadside is pointed at us, if it fire its artillery cannon we won't last long!"

"dammit! to all unit this is princess celestia speaking, all units are too move to the closest gate and retreat to ponyville, i repeat use the gate and retreat to ponyville."

the units rapidly desangaged the enemies and moved toward the gate under the cover fire of the gundam.

"what about luna?"kshatriya asked.

"don't worry, if its gone like i think she will be contacting us any moment now."

"well she better be fast, once chrysalis is safe she won't have any reason not to shoot us dead til we die from death!" said pinkie.

kshatriya was about to move toward the castle when,"here the bertigo, i have retrieved my sister MS and are moving toward the gate, i'll need at least 15 minutes to reach it with this fat thing, like pilot like MS right sister?"

"not now lulu, kshatriya, do you have anything capable of intercepting the daybreak artillery, even if partially, the city won't collapse from a few shot but a full on salve could only be endured four to six time at best."

"can't we just destroy it hacks?'

-our energy level is already at 63%, the daybreak is a battleship equipped with more weapon than we can dodge, maintaining the defense necessary to prevent damage would take us too much too use weapons capable of doing more than superficial damage without risking shutting down.

"alright, i'll block its attack a few time, i won't be able to defend the whole city so tell me where to go."

""the foundation under the city."" said both princess and the whole gundam team at the same time .

"yeah...make sense. i'm moving, princess luna please be quick."

"i will make the lieutenant dash blush with envy.","hey!"

they all chuckled with both tiredness and determination.

__________________________________________________________________

third POV

"god dammit! both our foothold in equestria and our food source lost in one day!" chrysalis was seething in rage as she flew to the daybreak, the thought of the ship eased her anger,'the equestrian may be unable to use their magic based technologie in battle due to its concentration thinning when inside the mana nullification devices range but we changeling have become master at using magic sparingly, we can stock it into corporal substance one that is hundred time harder to disperse! this ship can harness mana which we store like we store love and then we can use it to power the ship equipment and weaponry, it does kill changelings to process raw mana but that is what drone are for, to die in the hive interest! this ship was to be one of the equestrian greatest weapons and now that it can be used, it will become the changling greatest weapon! the leviathan!'

"hahahahahahahahahaha! yes! you will all die and despair, and once your pathetic army lay broken i'll raid this refuge you made for yourselves lower life form! faster morons! i want to be their yesterday."

she accelerated her guard following close behind.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

kshatriya POV

'this city really is built on the mountain side using something as basic as stone pillars? well they did have two thousand years of peace so maybe someone aiming to destroy a whole city wasn't that much of a concern back then.'

-kshatriya! attack incoming!

she looked at the daybreak and saw as cannon after cannon shot beam toward the pillar behind her.

"alright let's do this!" she flared her four wing releasing all her funnel and moved them in group into the beam trajectory, she formed beam barrier and blocked the laser using only short burst of power to form the barrier.

'i need to preserve energy, i can only use 20 funnel at a time so i can rotate when they need to recharge, i need at least three to make a barrier so its six barrier at a time and one funnel free for bigger barrier, i can bloke more attack if if i shape the barrier differently using more funnel when they do grouped shot.' kshatriya processing power came to bear as the funnel moved with precision and efficiency, dancing in the air and blocking beam after beam.

'they are spreading their shot!' she moved and blocked beam herself by focusing the i-field barrier on her wing and deflecting the beam instead of blocking them, her funnel also started doing so in a way to spare energy.

"dammit how long has it been?!"

-12 minutes kshatriya, energy level at 37%.

"luna please tell me your done soon, i am running out of juice over here."

'while i can regenerate my energy level pretty fast, its only if i does absolutely nothing and even then it will take more than an hour to do so with how much i already spent, it may seem as nothing but an hours when you have as much to do as i is a pretty big deal, i have the gafran of spike to repair, my new long range weapon to make, the girls gundam where certainly damaged so i will have to help with the repair, i also have the MS of celestia to update and the plating of gundanium to make out of the old army of equestrian alloy for the girls gundam to truly become gundam! god dammit lets get this fucking mission over with already!'

"kshatriya bertigo here, i have reached the gate, the other and i are going to go through soon, we are waiting for you do rejoin us."

"got it i'm moving toward you now. hacks full power on thruster!"

her thruster trail grew bigger as she recalled all her funnel and moved upward toward the city, she ignored the sound of the beam from the daybreak now slamming into the city foundation and rushed for the gate inside the mountain, even if the city collapsed this gate would remain stable enough for her to cross it.

in barely 8 minutes she was going through the window she had opened and could already see the whole gundam team,luna was pulling a platform with wheel on which a MS was hidden under a white cover with a sun emblazoned on it.

"ok i'm here, let's get out of here and close the portal."

"we won't be closing them. we'll just cut the magic influx."said luna.

kshatriya mentally furrowed her brow,"didn't you said the portal would go unstable if they ran out of energy?"

"yes we did, but it's what me and my sister meant when recycling it, the changling are not going to stop firing at the city until we are gone but once we are they will instead retake it, they invested too much in it to destroy it for nothing but the show."

"and when they do the gate will be about to collapse!"said pinkie in cheer.

"so how do you found my plan?"kshatriya turned to the gate and saw twilight on a jeep with a earpieces to speak on the channel. she had a smug smile and her eye glowered.

"vicious and deviant, but after today i can safely say none of us has all the light on up there."

the shenlong put a hand its chest in false hurt,"excuse me?! i have shown no sign of mental illness today thank you very much!"

'you i was aware of it the moment i presented the shenlong to you.'kshatriya thought but decided not to tell.

"anyway, proud comrade, dear friends, this mission is for me a success, let us leave and rejoice!"luna said before passing through the gate followed by everyone, with kshatriya having to contort herself and enter sidway.

"kshatriya?"the voice of celestia spoke on the channel,"i have someone to present you later today, after you and luna were gone, the retrieval team brought back something special, it seem that among the broken and inoperational unit a prototype was left active, its not really broken anymore, it also renamed itself freelock."

'can't i have one break? just one break?'

-i don't know why but i am impatient to meet this freelock...

Author's Note

done, this "chapter" was way longer than i thought it would be, it already is cut into at least three:twilightblush:. fight take a lot of words to look good and detailed enough, i'll have to take that into account in the latter chapter but i want to keep publishing at least a chapter a week to stay in the roll,

on a different note, since the start of this "chapter" (maybe i should call it an arc?) we have seen two of the new character, raw le cricket, based on rau le creuset but younger(19) its the one i placed because i only got two oc. but also freelock who is an oc from ironwar, i also got another oc, from an IRL friend this time, this oc will join us later on (i seem to be bad at predicting chapter length so i won't say next chapter.) and the last two are the ones i already had chosen and while i cannot tell you their names i will tell you this, raw le cricket isn't the only character to be a gundam inspired character.

Vibration...

Kshatriya observed as the equestrian runned around, she had proposed to help heal the wounded among the prisoners using her nanomachines as it was more pressing than repurpose some MS. Thanks to her scanner she could rapidly found the health issues of the equestrians and she would then redirect the non life-threatening to regular doctors, focussing her nanomachines on the peoples who had dangerous illnesses and damaged organs. Sadly she could do nothing for those who had lost limbs and sadly many did, the changling didn't use the prisoner as work force like others country would but instead as love source -changeling fed on the stuff- but it allowed them to use more physical punishment without much loss. Changeling used a system of cocoon to extract love by putting their victim into a dream filled with happiness and pleasure but to keep their livestock healthy and...numerous, they needed to bring them out from time to time, the problem was that most people refused to be treated like livestock, and fought back, so the changling usually hacked away some limbs, not only the loss of a limb was a massive deterrent but the most defiants one had lost all four limbs, understandably they then found the dream realm the changeling put them in a sweet relief from their crippled state.

'blacklist the changling hacks, they are worse than i thought, also see if we can use the dragoon, psychomu and bits systems to create cheap yet 'perfect' prosthesis. There is so many amputees among the equestrian...'

-blacklist update done kshatriya, i will start drafting plan but i can already tell that the main problem will be energy wise, contrary to your secondary body MS-bb we can't put battery inside the chest of the equestrians, not without impairing their capacity to be alive at least.

'...did you make a joke hacks?'

-i tried kshatriya, i am afraid i am new to this, how was it?

'passable, maybe it's a bit early for dark humor yet.'

-understood kshatriya.

Kshatriya refocused on her patient, a young woman named sassy and in her twenties, she couldn't rely on that to judge her mental age thought since equestrian lived around 180 years old, she had two toned orange hair with light blue ear poking out of them. She looked at the hulking mass of kshatriya in worry but not fear, the first to pass had openly asked why she didn't leave her MS but after some explanation it had turned to fear since a living machine from outer space wasn't the best thing to trust with your health but the rapid and efficient way kshatriya had dealt with each patient had turned fear of her to worry about the wounds and illness she would found, a good amount had what kshatriya called...

"Hypothalamitis."kshatriya sighed in frustration as she watched the young woman cry, Hypothalamitis was an over-activity of the Hypothalamus, the part of the brain producing the emotion of love through chemicals or the oposed depending of one's belief, the changling harvest methode side effect made their victims develop this disease by forcing it active for too long, the symptoms were an instinctual reaction of the body going wayward and making the body believe he is in danger forcing near constant production of chemical who led to muscle pain/weakness, fatigue, headaches, swollen glands, poor concentration and memory. The worst was that it didn't have a proper treatment since after being in this state for too long the body goes into 'adrenal burnout' which is perceived by the body as vulnerability and make it feel in danger and of course restart the loop. It didn't have proper treatment and would kill if the disease wasn't controlled through steroid treatment and immunosuppressive therapy.

Kshatriya waited for the woman to stop crying,"like the others the illness need to be checked regularly, i already told the doctor what they need to give in term of medications depending of the patients characteristics like height weight and age but i will keep looking for a remedy, in the meantime, i recommend abstaining any activity related to your time in the prison, it will limit the risk of the illness aggravating."

She nodded and left her head low and ear pressed on her skull, i could understand, the sickness would keep them into this state of never ending tiredness and barely able to think until healed, something i didn't know how, i could repair most wounds and even maybe regrow limbs with a lot of research and time but this illness wasn't physical but mental, short of brainwashing or memory erasure i couldn't think of anything.

"Kshatriya!"

I turned to twilight, she was aboard the same jeep as earlier, she had a checklist in her hands and looked at me with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, it was the last patient for you,"her smile turned sad,"we knew only a few would be left after so long but its still painful to know exactly just how many died."

"How many were brought back?"

"Three hundred and fifty two, a small amount of life for the capital of equestria, among them only seventy three member of the guard, all of them crippled and needing prosthesis and won't be operational anytime soon, combined with the loss we took during the assault we are understaffed for another assault this big."

"So what is our next move?"

"You and i are going outside to rejoin the rest of the mission elements, the gate's magic influx stopped 18 minutes ago, just enough time to see the fall of canterlot."

Kshatriya nodded and followed the jeep, along the way she asked,"canterlot was your birthplace i heard?"

Twilight nodded with a sad smile,"yes, i have a lot of good memory there, a lot of sad one too. I lost friends and family when the changelings took the town, my parents lived their...chrysalis crucified my mother body to the highest tower of canterlot."

'what am i supposed to say to that?!'

"My condoleance twilight, sorry for bringing it up..."

Twilight shook her head," mhm i want to thank you, with your help i finally have hope for revenge."

"About revenge, how does this whole portal blowing up will go?"

Twilight perked up having the opportunity to explain something,"first you need to understand the portal functioning, imaging the distance between two gate like a body of water the further the point of arrival is from the point of depart the thicker the body of water, now the gate we deployed act like emitter and the one here like receiver, what does the gate emit you ask?"kshatriya nodded picturing each step in her mind,"well it emit a circular movement on the water surface, when you do so the water start to spin and slowly be pushed aside making a spiral and the gate start to 'pierce' the water, the deeper we reach the more the circular movement speed up and the more space/water is pushed aside, once the gate is formed it actually mean space has been fully pushed aside, and so we can just cross."

Kshatriya nodded in understanding,"that's sound a lot simpler than it actually is i suppose."

"It does, but it's just the basic so i can answer your question, you see the gate consume a lot of energy to keep the spiral in shape and when we close the gate we actually slow the gate down before shutting it, but when the gate run out of juice it stop rotating immediately, the spiral then rapidly collapse. First the a small shockwave form at the receiving gate, nothing major just something like a gust of wind, then the spiral collapse from the furthest point of the emitter gate back to it gaining in speed along the way, before finally reaching the emitting gate and when it does a shockwave is sent from it outward with its range varying depending on the speed it accumulated, then the pendulum effect take well...effect! Since the shockwave is produced by space moving out of the gate and since space will try to stabilise by moving back into its static shape, upon reaching its spreading limits the shockwave will move backward all the way inside the gate creating a suction effect, but once again this will move the water/space aside and even if this time it move it less it will still be enough to create another shockwave going outward from the gate in a smaller area and this step will repeat until the water/space go still, the thing is those step repeat thousand of time at an insane speed and the water/space will stabilize in barely three second, so when the gate collapse the area affected is literally 'vibrating' with such brutality that anything inside its range crumble to dust!"

"T-that's impressive, can't it be weaponized?"

Twilight got a sheepish grin,"not really, portal are easy to detect when they are magic alimented which is the case while the delivery team get away, most people know of the gate effect upon collapse and will stay away from it if they see no defender around them, i'm sad to say it won't be our first time using this trick but since then we succeeded to keep them powered without magic allowing us to lay them like trap. But honestly their ressources cost is still too expensive for mass production."

Kshatriya sighted,"resources are becoming a recurring problem..."

Twilight gigled without mirth,"it is isn't it?"

The two reached the outside of the hangar on the canterlot side and rejoined with the rest of the 'rainbow guides' the princesses and a large group of soldier from the regular army, we all stood and waited with bated breath.

Celestia talked without looking away,"chrysalis isn't inside the city, she stayed aboard the daybreak away from the city but she sent her army in, to gather the troop left their and get her whole army operational for a punitive force."

Luna inhaled deeply,"it won't happen."

As if to prove it, a blinding light exploded into canterlot, and i beheld the fall of canterlot, light exploded and spread erasing everything it touched be it stone or steel, dead or alive it covered the whole town and even half of the mountain. the daybreak and a handful of MS were spared but the rest was erased from existence in the blink of an eye, there was a moment of stillness were i could only stare at the mountain who looked like a god i taken a bit off before a powerful blast of wind racked the plain and moving toward us, i moved at the front and broke the wind using my i-field barrier but still felt the strength behind this shockwave, i could see the daybreak struggling as MS were thrown like ragdoll around, finally it stopped.

(for those who want to see it.)

We stayed silent, none of us really sure of what to say, the changling had suffered beyond imagination but so did the equestrian, i could see the tear on their face as the symbol of their nation had all but disappeared from the planet leaving behind orphans, twilight was shaking and sobbing as her friends hugged her, celestia seemed suddenly so old as luna held her close.

'even with gundam...war...doesn't feel right...'

-kshatriya...

Gilda kneeled in front of the screen on the wall.

She wore a purple military jacket similar to the one worn by OZ officer, she was a tall woman with well defined muscle and short hair with a lock in front of her eyes , her most marking feature were the small purple and white feathers surrounding her eyes, and the complete whiteness of the left one."you called for me your highness."

A tall and broad shouldered men with a dark beard cropped neatly into a forward spike with a well groomed mustache appeared on the screen, he wore a crown of black steel with a blue gem on the center biggest pike, its eyes were of an icy blue, while the feathers around its eyes were black with blue tip."ahhh i did call you here gilda, i received news that you had the opportunity to end one of the princess and failed miserably, i won't ask how and why, i have passed the cap of trying to understand your incompetence."

Gilda gritted her teeth,'of course you don't need to ask, your the one giving me the bare minimum to fend off the changeling assault on my base in baltimare!'

"Honestly i was about to recall you in griffonstone to marry you to some yack and be ride of you while strengthening our recent partnership like my children advised me too but your decent pawn of a brother sent me a message that he wanted to try making front against ponyville with you," he leaned in its sit and took a glass of wine in hand.

Gilda eyes widened as warmth filled her chest,'brother, once again you-! For me!'

"While i dislike the idea of him reducing the pressure on the crystal empire, he assured me only him and it's personal guard would assist your own forces."thorn blackbeak loomed over her,"do.not.fail, your brother is competent for a bastard, don't infect him with your uselessness while he assist you or it's to the changling i'll marry you, i heard chrysalis as been grooming a prince recently. Anyway, you will receive a shipment of the last knight frames we produced, ten units followed by a mobile armor from the saddle arabian front, it was sent for repair and as been waiting to be redeployed since then. I will say it again do.not.fail!"

The connection was cut and gilda stood up, she clenched her fist, and stormed out to rush into her carter where she slammed her door shut and locked it before going to the com-screen.

She called for the first contact and waited, as soon as the screen showed its face she screamed in tears,"why?! Why do you keep helping me?!"

The man had long blond hair with kind blue eyes, he had small golden feather around them, he was smiling the fingers of both hand crossed on its desk."you are my little sister, it's my job to protect you gilda."

Gilda sobbed,"miliardo, i-i can't do this anymore, it's been so long i am tired of this war! of living here!"

He looked down and nodded,"i know gilda, but you have to be strong, one day this war will end and then-"

Gilda slammed her hand on the wall,"and then what?! He'll never let us leave! He'll keep us close so that mother's may never-"

"Gilda!"the voice was strong but warm. She looked at miliardo,"trust in me, everything will be alright if you trust me."

"I-i...i trust you big bro...but please, be quick."

Miliardo nodded as gilda cut the communication.

'mom, we miss you!'

_________________________________________________________________________________

Kshatriya looked critically at the MS in front of her, said MS was fidgeting a bit perturbed by kshatriya staring,

Finally kshatriya put her hand together and pointed them at the MS,"i don't know how i should react to you..."

"-i cannot offer input this time kshatriya, i am at loss too, meeting a magically created equivalent to me was not on my expectation list."

celestia coughed,"kshatriya, i present you the self named freelock, she was developed a few hundred years back as a prototype for the nobles silhouette kight. form what she told me she was left activated by mistake and...well developed her own will along the years, she took it upon herself to pursue the MS development work of her creators."

"that explain the more developed frame."kshatriya said looking the RAG-79 Aqua GM from unicorn gundam in front of her,

said GM while it looked like the aqua version was actually equipped for land with harpoons and heavy duties claw bothe cabled and that could be launched and used to bring enemy in close combat, the shoulder missile were replaced with container for metal spike, said metal spike could be launched like non-explosives rocket thought.

"Can she speak?"asked kshatriya perturbed by the GM silence.

celestia scratched the back of her neck,"it's why we called you, she can speak but her creator had decided on her being a him so."

the GM spoke in a deep cold voice,"i could really use some help with my speaker..."

kshatriya sighted,'can't i have one break? just one break?'

-i like it...

On a Calm Day.

Creating a voice box is hard, it may not sound like it but it is. The source of the problem is that you can choose your voice and sadly, no one ear a voice the same way, or at least you don't hear your voice like other do wich explain why after 4 hour of me playing voice semple after voice sample all the woman present couldn't agree on one, even freelock was uncertain, in the end i started focusing on my new weapon and since we were in the hangar i was able to start putting it together.

"I think we can agree that the voice of this hinata is unsuited for our new friend freelock here, Esdeath is a far better choice, a cold and strong willed woman."said luna with rainbow and rarity nodding along.

"We agree on this point luna but Saber voice fit better, she has this knightley feel to her that Esdeath hasn't instead she feel like a cold blooded brute."said celestia with applejack and twilight agreeing.

"Maybe we should let freelock choose?"fluttershy added in the middle stopping the princesses rant before it could restart.

Said freelock sighed before turning to me,"what would you choose?"

I looked up from the conic shape i was working on,"why not both, i can install both and you switch whenever you want?" i said hoping to end this debate.

""Thats genius!"" said both princess.

'actually since i woke up here and heard your voice hacks it kept nagging at my mind that i heard it somewhere but i can't pin where...'

-my voice belong to the IA glados from the game portal kshatriya.

The whole story and glados personality flashed in my mind.'you...don't want to do experimentation on anyone right?'

-i have not felt any urges to do so kshatriya, should i?

"Nope all's good the way they are! Freelock come here so i update your voice box."

"Hum okay?" just like the rest she looked at me with raised eyebrow but didn't dig deeper.

After a few minutes of work freelock decide to use saber voice most of the time as it was more friendly, she shared with me the data of how equestria had tried to create a new weapon in the form of the silhouette frame, in short they would create a self improving IA and made the best of their pilots fight them pushing them into becoming stronger than any pilot ever and use those to pilot the noble house personal knight frame, nowadays most of those frame are lost to time and freelock is the prototype of them all, she was created as a training partner that would learn and grow stronger with the warrior training with her, she had yet to have a mind of her own and had only one consign, stop fighting when you have won or lost, all the following models had a different set of rules to prevent 'the bug' of occurring, 'the bug' was what led to freelock being taken out of service, from what i understood she became so efficient in fighting thanks to her years of fighting with hundreds of pilots she could tell immediately from the enemy movement when he was getting on position that she would win and so didn't fight anymore, sadly she lacked the mind of her own to explain it and her creator didn't think of that being the reason she wouldn't fight and simply thought she was broken, they put her on the side and built the models used by the noble, but she was left awake and did what she was programmed to do, learn. It led to today where she repaired herself and even upgraded herself.

"So, what will she do from now?"i asked the princesses.

"We can't add her to our force, she is magic reliant and being inside the jammer range would kill her."said Luna while biting her nail.

"Even without that, she was made for training and cannot go against her one rule, she cannot deal finishing blow since the moment she is sure to win she has to stop fighting." Celestia added while thinking.

Everyone was thinking on what to do when pinkie screamed,"i know!"we all looked at her,"she was made to train with pilots right? Then why she doesn't keep doing that, now she can think for herself and give pointer to the newby without really fighting them, and so without going against her rule!"

My eye brightened,"she's right! Beside with the recent loads of materials we got me and Maud should be able to put a decent amount of units together, even if they're only MS."

Twilight looked at her checklists and muttered in thought before smiling,"the guard members we have rescued from Canterlot are too badly wounded to rejoin the rank right now, it could take months even years before they are fully operational, still a lot of troopers with basic MS piloting training have been wanting to join the pilots princesses, it could work."

Celestia looked at Luna who took some time to think thing through and nodded before talking to Freelock,"very well, we shall appoint you to the new recruit training, my sister will have the names of the volunteer brought to you while i get some of my soldier to assist you for the more practical part of the lesson while you provide the Technic."

Freelock put her fist on her chest."i shall not disappoint princesses, i am honored to serve my country once again when it need me."

______________________________________________________________________________________

'so, what do you think of it hacks?' Kshatriya said while looking at the long lance she was holding in her right hands.

-its construction is pristine and faithful to the blueprint, this weapon is ready for use, good work Kshatriya.

'thanks hacks, it's a modified version of the lance of the Gundam Kimaris Vidar fused with the mega beam cannon of the tallgeese 3, this weapon is complex but versatile, the machine gun on it were replaced by two medium range beam machine gun for rapid fire of wide spread beam for fast lightly armored target, the Dainsleif launchers were replaced by medium range beam cannons for target with balanced armor and speed, and finally the lance could split into four almost all the way to the base and spin to fire long range high precision beam with frightening piercing power. The lance also had its own e-cap, a large one too.

'this should prevent another episode of enemy leader being to far from me to shoot.'

-you could have used the mega particle cannon kshatriya.

'too widespread, and the mega particle cannon are too slow and wouldn't have reached her before she dodged, this lance...lets call it gae bolga can shoot a beam at four time the speed of sound, and its a piercing beam not a exploding one so less risk of collateral damage.'

-understood, should we start producing the MS-bb now kshatriya?

'not yet, i made something for me now it's time to re-purpose the alloy used for the old equestrian army to finally give the 'rainbow guides' gundam a plating worthy of their name.'

-understood kshatriya.

Me and hacks worked for two day and two night straight only stopping when Maud and her follow workers said hi to us when they joined us in the hangar during the day so they could work on equestria new mass produced MS, by the end of the second day we had changed all the gundam armor aside of the exia's. the exia was pushed to later since luna wanted her bertigo done first as she would leave for dodge city in three day. She would be followed by dash and rarity along with a twenty strong troop of reworked MS, the Jegan D Type, i had given the plan in hope to later mass produce the Stark Jegan one of the few MS to have put pressure on the original kshatriya.

(:yay:~epic~ )

Beside that i also gathered the data from the girls fight and decided to give the sandrock its beam shotel and the wing will be equipped with the tallgeese dober gun, it wasn't as powerful as the buster rifle but the data on dash fights made me think it was too early to give her a weapon with so much potential for destruction, the dober gun was powerful but not in such a big area as the buster rifle could. Pinkie was a hazard, she had done her job perfectly but she seemed unstable, i decided to simply upgrade all her machine gun for beam machine gun and her Gatling for a beam Gatling, even gundanium would suffer from constant direct hit from those let alone mass produced MS cheap armors.

Fluttershy was fine as is even if i admit installing the Invisible Umbrella Stealth System crossed my mind but the deathscythe would lose too much speed from the weight of the emitters spread over its body. The exia wasn't deployed as twilight didn't feel it was needed and so i lacked data to upgrade it, as for the shenlong, i will install her the beam pole-arm but what i heard from rarity thanks to-BECAUSE of those damned record will forever haunt my nightmare, agent 'diamond' my ass, demon would fit her better!

Anyway, by the end of all my work five day later the princess luna was long gone to dodge city and the princess celestia had received troubling news, while the changling had left with the daybreak toward the badland the griffin had started moving, the ship of gilda piercedraft bastard daughter of thorn blackbeak the griffonian emperor, was on the move. Almost all the forces of baltimare would reach ponyville in exactly eight day and with it a battle for survival, celestia had all the ship fluttershy had sent to the everfree gathered and checked for changling and started working on a new plan, ponyville was heavily fortified but lacked in term of fire power capable of fending off battleship, she decided to arm the retrieved ship and form a fleet too but for that she needed something to power them hence why i was still working on something else instead of fixing spike's gafran, thankfully trixie offered to take care of that and her and spike proved to be quite capable of working together when their desire to prove themselves to twilight sparkle made them unit in their endeavor.

"I smell a story there..."

"-should we attempt gathering information kshatriya?"

"No, it's wrong to snoop into others past relation. Beside i have more urgent problem, like this goddamnit *urgh*.piece.of *creak*c-crap!"i finally pushed the final titanium ring in place around the giant Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor i had been constructing.

"Done! This big boy's bigger than a torohachi, wonder if it still worthy of being named 'ultracompact'?"

"-good work kshatriya, you only need to create enough ship sized e-cap and Minovsky Craft System too equipe all the ships of the equestrian fleet along with drawing the station needed for them to recharge at this reactor.

"Eurgh!"

To solve celestia problem without risking important technologies being lost i decided to equip the ship with very large e-cap to stock mega particle and using the Minovsky Craft System they could fly without using any of the magic using components they have been relying upon till now. This mean they weren't fully autonomous but they would also be a lot faster and safer than before beside i was going to install a few quick to make weapons and a basic i-field on the biggest one, it was the biggest equestrian battleship before the daybreak was made, the morningstar.

It was to be salvaged because it was more of a flagship than a battleship meaning it was a symbolic weapon more than an effective weapon, while it looked like the white base it was completely different on the inside.

In the end, i had to spend no less than 6 day to retrofit everything with maud's and trixie's team help while they worked on the other ship, pinkie for her part proved to be a very competent construction and defense team member by monitoring the mega particle reload station, i made sure to keep the reactor out of weapons and hands reach,i also put a tracker and an auto destruction device in it, i take no chance with this kind of stuff, the gundam series taught me to be careful with technologies. After that it was getting the fleet maned, thankfully, after solving the MS shortage, and making plan to solve the pilots shortage and still suffering the resource shortage, we were spared the competent captain shortage by having not less than 73 old captains among ponyville retirement home, they were more than happy to 'teach by the example' the new generation of captains that we needed by putting their uniform on one last time.

Aside that i finally got to see celestia MS, or rather what was left, from my scan it was probably very close to the Stargazer Gundam but even from celestia description it lacked the "Voiture Lumiere" Propulsion System, not that it mattered since the thing was in pieces, most of the armor was gone and the optical system and torso were gone too.

"They were aiming for the sun spear."celestia seemed sad, but still explained at my questioning glance,"it was the main weapon of the sun-chaser, a chest mounted cannon capable of shooting a powerful beam of burning plasma."

"Uh so that's where chrysalis's mobile armor got its plasma cannon, i was really worried such high power beam weapon were more common than i thought."

Celestia shook her head,"plasma and beam weapon as a whole were equestria strongest asset but they were magic based, now we have started working on it again from a more scientific point ov view but are no longer at an advantage compared to the others races, on the crystal empire front i heard of griffonia MS using plasma weapon, as well as on the minotaur/zebra front, saddle arabia being an ally of ours before know how to deal with beam weapon and it helped them against the grifonia empire, not that it can save them anyway, the griffonia empire need to deal with them to abide with its pact of defense with minotorite, honestly were griffonia forces not spread around half the world we wouldn't have a chance. But its too focused on its war with saddle arabia and the dragon kingdom to do more than pressure the crystal empire into a defensive stance."

"Until now?"

Celestia sighted,"our victory must unnerve them, equestria as faced risk of total defeat more than once and always came out on top, most of the time by the threat being careless. Thorn blackbeak will not risk another front to open and risk straining its already overworked armies, i have no doubt that gilda's force will be far from the rubbish they usually give her this time around, the fact she brought the entirety of her troops show its her last chance to prove herself, knowing thorn death is better than defeat for her right now."

"Any hope to get her to join us?"

her eyes narrowed in thought,"i remember lieutenant dash being a friend of her, but they cut bridge after gilda hurt some of her friends, grifonian are known to be very possessive of what they consider their personal time with loved one, where we equidian believe into sharing said time with all equally, it led to a scuffle and broken friendship, grifonian never 'kiss and make up' if we want her to switch side we need someone she has no past with to earn her respect on the field."

"ok i got the idea but what's this with grifian and ponian?"

"sorry i tend to forget you are new to this planet, grifonian are the name of gilda species, just as equidian is ours, as a side note alicorn is more of a subspecies just like the grifian tail isn't always a lion's but when it is they are 'lion' grifonian and it change to other animals depending on the specie's tail they possess, minotaurus, draconyde, hypogrifian, and many other species have subspecies among them. maybe i should ask twilight to send you some learning material, if you are to one day have your own country you need to learn such thing."

"sure, i'll record everything and go through it in my spare time but for now let's focus on your MS, should i work on repairing it, and if yes can i upgrade it?"

"i have a few specifics but yes and yes."

we talked about what direction her MS would follow and i even had celestia pilots a jegan to get data on her, we finally agreed on repairing the sun-chaser and making it a defense oriented units with a restrained amount of weapons, said weapon would be high power but low fire rate. i decided to try another energy source from gundam but nothing perfectly sure yet, i needed to make some test with the 'voiture lumiere' and said energy source first.

in the end it was a charged week and a half and i had a hunch it wasn't going to slow down anytime soon.

how right i was.

Author's Note

here what the daybreak look like.

On a Calm Day 2

Kshatriya and maud were just done with the last battleship of the new equestrian fleet when the rainbow guide entered in the hangar, yet this time kshatriya was surprised to see them in dresses instead of uniforms, spike him was wearing a silver suit on a more loose fashion, they all still had their prosthetics but it did little to reduce the classy aura they gave off.

Kshatriya turned to them since they were clearly heading toward her,"hi girls, spike. What with the cloths? Looking good by the way girls, still prefer spike more wild style thought."

Spike just nodded with a smirk looking at rarity who was rolling her eyes with a smile. "Hi kshatriya, thanks for the compliments, me and the others have come to realise that since you came to our world and more precisely joined us you did nothing but work, so we decided to invite you to join us for a party at the princess home, it's nothing much just a regroupement with drinks and chat but with the technologies you gave us to increase food production already yielding exceptional result and the large amount of food aboard the cargoship fluttershy helped retrieve we can finally let loose for a bit."

"So partner, care to join the party?"

"It's going to be super duper fun!"

"Ahah i'd love to girls but i have still a lot to do and the griffonian army could arrive any day now."

*grunt*"told you girls, with her it's always work and more work!" rainbow said exasperated."lets just start the party."

"Now now dash, we all guessed but it was still polite to ask her before going for plan B why do you think the princess had everyone waiting outside. She wouldn't be able to just pass on the celebration."

"Uh?"
The hangar door opened and hundreds of equestrian entered behind their princesses with table and chairs, streamer and balloon and plenty of food and drink, they filled the hangar giving the worker what to clean themselves and glass of punch, while i looked around as young and old moved around pinkie burst next to my head standing on my shoulder, dash on her overbike told me how she got there, she had a long rope on her hand and when the gigantic party hat was on my head i couldn't help but laugh, a full blown laugh of pure fun with snorting and giggle,

'oh god its so undignified, b-but i can't stop it was years since i last was so how to say, alive!'

My laugh seemed to be contagious, little by little more and more started laughing and the laugh spread to not only the peoples partying in the hangar but all over the town where all were partying, even years later i would remember this moment, when all of the town was laughing at all the fear, pain and heartbreak tomorrow could bring.

Kshatriya looked at the rainbow guide who were joined by the princess now that the party was fully set inside the hangar.
"You know what? Hacks forget the last missing pieces of the MS-BB, i need to hug them, i want to be among them eyes to eyes!" all looked at my word and widened when my chest opened, from it jumped a green shape, it fell rapidly front flipping before landing neatly on the ground.

With a spiked right shoulder and a shield fixed on the left, an armored chest with a black and silver emblem. it had two cylinder with thruster on its back and a skirt of plate just above flesh legs who seemed to end with a pair of two bulky prosthetic at the knee, she also wore a set of glove with black and silver wrist band, all her armor aside of the few black and silver was a deep green she also had a strange stick behind her strapped on her lower back and a gun on her left scapula. She raised her head showing a gas mask below her neatly arranged haircut and piercing red eyes,

"MS-BB zulu-girl online, transferring optical and control to kshatriya....hya!" the newcomer started stretching and looking around not disturbed by the stare of everyone.

Kshatriya for her part started flexing her new hand and working her shoulder, the MS-BB was stocked in her chest in a fetal position so a good stretching of the joint was advised to move without creaking.

Her original body talked,"-kshatriya, how is the sub-units?"

"Feel pretty good so far, it still doesn't feel completely human on the inside but still way less bulky than my true body, it should do for now, shame we didn't had a mouth, had i know my first use would be during a buffet party i would have added it."

"-the biomass converter should fit if needed, it will allow the conversion of biomass into fuel, for the thruster, i will gather horizon zero dawn technologies about it and upgrade it."

"Thanks hacks."

"Ok what's going on here?!"screamed dash as she grabbed me into an headlock,"who are you?! We all know kshatriya doesn't have a cockpit let alone a pilot so start talking!"

"Easy dash, it me! I just made a small remotely controlled body to mingle now release me! I don't even breath so you can't really strangle me!"

She released me and i stumbled a bit trying to get used to the new center of balance without my wing."jeez didn't remember balancing was this hard without wing and hacks help!"

"It's really you..."said pinkie with a growing smile, my eyes widened when my optical catched her muscle flexing and her breath and heart rate change,"pinkie n-no!" i already knew i wouldn't be able to do my part, she knew i knew, she didn't care and pounced in a beautiful arc before glomping me in a hug i couldn't reciprocate as i screamed while falling, the meager semblance of balance i had found insufficient to hold back the pink predator expert take down. The others looked at us as i fell with a panicked shriek and landed on my back with pinkie arms and legs around me.

"It's so great! I can finally hug you kshatriya!"

"That you can pinky, that you can, should i be worried my mechanical body can't break free from you?"

"I'm titan bound, and my sister is the only one stronger than me."so she said without releasing me.

"..."

"..."

"Pinkie...let me stand up please."

"OK but i'll make sure you hug everyone!"

"Sure, i did want to mingle with everyone."

We stood up while the others walked to us, luna, who was back from dodge city since yesterday looked at me with wonder,"you look so...alive. How did you make this body of flesh?"

Kshatriya crossed her arm and huffed playfully,"fufu,i didn't use flesh here, it's just a covering. This body is pretty much a down sized MS using f-91's cyborg technologies, it also offer me a relative sense of touch thought since cyborg technologie is based upon upgrading a living body i still lack a few thing."

"This is fantastic, we can now show you around town!"luna said with her hand on kshatriya shoulder before hugging her.

Kshatriya hugged her back,"sure, honestly you were right, i could use a break."

Rainbow nudged me with her elbow,"of course we know, even us and the princess take break,"she drank from what seemed to be hard cider,"since equestria started the war two years ago we all worked really hard to be useful and-"

I grabbed her shoulder and got in her face."wait wait wait! Two years?! This war has been going for only two years?!"

"Euh, yes?"

I looked around before gathering the rainbow six and the princesses,"ok now that we are all here, can someone tell me how the fuck the situation got this bad in two years and how you seven become such strong pilots in only two years."

The all looked at each others before twilight seemed to see some signal from celestia and started explaining.

"Equestria situation is due to our strong dependence of magic but also because of the griffin launching a never seen before campaign against us in a sudden and ruthless onslaught, we lost all the east to them in barely a month with little to no survivor, south was assaulted by the changeling and the north suffered a lot from cloudsdale fall to the magic to create weather growing unstable, and the yaks attack that followed. In the end our frontier have reduced to one third of what it use to be, the crystal empire was luckier than us with its easy to defend position and its shield and enchantment mastery the last magic system having kept a good deal of its power with only its power upkeep growing a bit." she showed me two image of the frontier of equestria and i felt like gulping."the black line are equestria diarchy latest frontier and the pink one the crystal empire, the brown the yaks clans, the blue the dragonian kingdom, the green the changeling queendom and finally our biggest opponent the griffonia empire in red."

'its bad, they are surrounded and even their connection the crystal empire was cut off.'

"What about the west?"

The princesses grimaced,"it's the way to our homeland, the valley of the sun, it's now the home of the wendigo, and all creatures that we have no hope to best with our present strength, the magic there is also a lot more unstable to the point of any notion of reality being powerless there. All expedition came back spouting of giant with mask hunting for lost soul or undead centaur, sorcerer and even giant eye with tentacle appearing in an unnatural blue mist, still all those nightmarish creature are pretty much trapped by the almost alien magic they depend of and only exist there."

"*sigh* this is bad, we'll need to work harder from now on and-"

"Nay nay nay!"said luna while shaking her head,"tonight is a night of fun and merriment not fear nor worry. For now let's discuss you kshatriya, we all know very little of you friend~~and that despite you having been here for weeks."

"That's true, we don't even know anything about your home world."twilight had brought out a notebook and pencil from the same hammer space she had brought out the map from, because yes turn out all being in this world had an hammer space, it's pretty much common knowledge and while it has grown smaller with magic going wayward its still could hold a few thing.

Kshatriya shrugged,"not much to say, first there isn't any MS in my home world, all of the thing i have come from other world even my own body, i just made a trade with someone to get this body and the rest come from years of studies."

"Wow to think there is so many intelligent races in the star...i wonder if we will meet them someday."said celestia.

"Right?! I mean can you imagine how much we could learn?"said twilight with a smile.

"I wonder if they have their own version of apple."

"And the clothing darling! An entirely new viewpoint on style and class!"

"The holiday and celebration!"

Fluttershy nodded,"and the animals and their habitats."

"The new competition for best flyer in the universe! Oh yeah!"

"So many people living among our star we'd like to know what they think of them."

I giggled a bit gaining their attention,"you said that like its not going to happen soon, you do know i have more than enough space ship blueprint to allow us space colonization? Even terraformation in a few decade the moon could very well be part of equestria tourism route."

""Really?!""

"Sure, still need to win the war and stabilize the country first thought."

"And we will, as if we could let some power hungry dirigeant stop us from seeing others walking on our moon!" said luna with a fist in the air, celestia laughed and nodded as she grabbed her sister shoulder,"indeed lulu, we will show those toddler our might, by the heaven we will send them back home with their behind sore!" we all stopped and looked at celestia with bulging eye.

'wait, red cheeks, higher body temperature and slight loss of balance...she's drunk?!'

"Tia...how many glass did you drink?" luna deadpanned while looking straight forward.

"Shthree? Sheven? Nay i shtopped c-counting at fifteen but it's been sho long shince i had good wine to drink!"

"B-but princes celestia never became drunk before?! No matter how much she drank."

Luna looked at twilight who had spoken,"*sigh* my sister has a strong alcohol tolerance but it's because she used magic to burn it out of her, now while she still has a generous upper limit to it once she pass said limit she immediately lose all restrain."she shook her head,"let us just enjoy the party, she will have to deal with her hangover anyway so she should at least make it worth it!"

And enjoy the party we did, i didn't share much about myself, just some stuff i did at school, my unconditional fear of octopus and my despise of the color brown, i also learned a few thing about the girls and spike, spike was actually in a relationship with rarity, they actually were married who would've thought? Rainbow told me she lost her arm to a changeling assault on ponyville, the first one actually, she dodged the deadly blow of an assassin but he got her arm above the elbow and she saw no point bothering with a shoulder when a full prosthesis was more stable and useful.

"Never understood this bullshit about fear of losing part of yourself, if it cannot fulfill the purpose we need it to it's better getting rid of it and replace it, don't say i said that to fluttershy thought, she'd pester me about this 'respecting your body' stuff."

"Strange, you didn't seem to be that out for blood when we fought the changeling, you'd think you'd be laying waste on them for getting your arm..."

"Eh eh still got a good kill count but honestly? I wasn't the most hurt by them, twilight was and she didn't join in at all, in all honesty when it come to who's the best soldier among us she's even better than me, she can do this stuff where she cut her personal feeling from her logic, it's great as a strategist, bad when it come to fighting, often it's anger and fear that push you strong enough to get this edge you need over a strong opponent."

"She's a good leader but a bad warrior?"

"Not bad, just not the best, that girl, is fluttershy title. i can't say much since its her story to tell, but never doubt shy kshatriya, some did and even i pity them, you never felt fear before facing a murderous fluttershy."

"Oh...i-i'll keep that in mind dash."

"What are you talking about girls?" pinkie came in with the rest of the rainbow guide aside of spike who was helping luna taking celestia to her room on the town last level, from what i understood she is its adoptive mother and he consider it its responsibility to help her, i wasn't blind, someone don't waste herself so quickly in public if she doesn't have some serious stuff to distance herself from, in her defence a thousand years worth of her work was unmade in barely two years so i can see how it would be a hard blow even for someone as old, wise and powerful as celestia.

"Nothing much, what's that? Is it for me?"dash took one of the glass of alcohol pinkie was holding,"is it cider? For a cheer?"

"Yeperonni, one of us almost completed her revenge, so no champaign yet but it was still close enough for cider right twi?"

"It sure was pinkie,"twilight looked at kshatriya and ended her a glass,"i know you can't drink it but i'd still like to cheer with you, please?"

she nodded,"sure twi, so, to what do we cheer?"

fluttershy whispered to me,"we all lost something when the wars started, we made an oath of retribution and shared them, if one of us die before fulfilling it the others will make sure to."

applejack raised her glass,"to us almost killing this loose cunt of a queen, she got away this time but she lost a good' deal of her rotten spawn, and the next time i ain't have no doubt twilight will repaint the ground with her innard."we all raise our glass,"to retribution!"

""to retribution!""

Author's Note

second chapter of october, still two to come in the next few day, i already got a good chunk done so if all go to plan another one coming the day after tomorrow and another one on halloween. mostly because i have family visiting today so can't write as much as i intended to.

i won't spoil much but next one start with battle preparation so action in coming.^^

The Battle of ponyville 2

Third person view.

Explosion rang on the battlefield where the equestrian ground force clashed with the leo of the griffin empire, large craters made by the early bombardement done by both the morning star and the adrastea at the start of the battle were used as cover by the units along the front, the equestrian army lost none of its units -even if a few were damaged by shrapnel- all thanks to the units being careful and positioning themself wide and dodging any direct hit, they were following the orders of the princesses to focus on survival and stalling the enemy while the plan took place.

Said plan was simple, first stay on the defensive and keep the enemies out of ponyville immediate surroundings while making use of the equestrian air superiority to steadily increase the enemy losses. To accomplish that goal two gundam were deployed on the ground, rarity and her shenlong on the left and applejack and sandrock on the right from ponyville point of view, they were followed by around 20 units when combined, applejack also had added to her units a squad of apple family members recently promoted from ground forces to pilots that she personally formed, they were equipped with heavily armored jegan who were modified to have the shoulder mounted cannons of 240mm , she and them were rampaging on the field. Applejack was at the front protecting the artillery jegan as she slashed leo left and right with her beam shotels who were directly connected to her backpack and had access to a large e-cap so she could use them for extended period of time but she also had her heated shotel on on the side of said backpack in case the battle was drawing out or for throwing.

Applejack side stepped a leo wielding a heat sword to the left and slashed it across the waist with her right shotel cutting it in two, a leo came to her left and opened fire with a machine gun, the bullets bounced harmlessly on her gundanium armor but she still raised her left arm to protect the camera inside the head as she shutted down her beam shotels and took her heat wheep from her right hip, she expertly catched the leo left ankle and pulled making it fall on its back, she demonstrated the strength of the sandrock by actually spinning on herself and forcing the still bounded leo to lift off the ground and turn around her until it built up speed and she released it right into another leo who was crushed by the impact,

"It only started and i already got six of those no good varmint, wonder how much rarity got? Knowing the gal she has a whole battalion on me already!" applejack was tempted to rush forward as she felt her blood boil with excitement but still took steps back and rejoined the defense line, the order were clear and her squad needed her close range protection to keep taking potshot at the enemy safely.

Rarity for her part had taken the grandeen and its crew with her, this setup allowed the equestrian to have artillery on both side of the battlefield but also made it easier for rarity to get close and personal with the enemy without fear of her squad being overrun since the grandeen had been upgraded to have multiple close range machine gun after the grandeen weakness to short range battle was pointed out by kshatriya.

Rarity jumped high, flipped mid air and landed behind a leo her beam trident halfway into its cockpit after having slashed its right shoulder, she finished slashing through it all the way to the left hip and in the flow of the movement she spinned the weapon around and stabbed the leo behind her without even Turning to face it before letting it fall and explode beside her, she dodged a rocket by dashing backward a few step before taking off toward the leo who had shot it, she dodged the two leo who jumped in her way with a quick left and right and a feint and was then in front of the artillery oriented leo, she stabbed her beam trident into it and turned to the two who tried to block her way letting loose her dragon fang and biting into the closest one, she then slammed it into the other side sending them to the ground and bathed both in flame before finally letting go of the still impaled leo by dumping it aside were it let out a pathetic hissing sound as the reactor powering the unit died , she kept her flamethrower going until the two other leo pilots were crisp for sure and stopped, she threw her head back and laughed. The other pilots of her squad and the grandeen were aware of her peculiar moment where she lost her cool and was victim of mental breakdown and uncontrollable nervous laugh, said moment were born from her profound hatred for all warmonger. War was all about taking, taking you enemies life, taking their lands, taking their freedom, she was the element of generosity and such thing were against her very nature. She was like most elements bearers affected by the recent events and coped like she could, for most she was an insane killer with a cold efficiency but those with a visual on the inside of her cockpit would see her laughing while she cried on the battlefield her eyes showing despair and remorse despite her laughter, those who knew pitied her more than feared her and the only element worst off since the start of the war were pinkie and fluttershy, there were theory that if the elements bearer could affect the world through their elements then the world could affect them through them too, and while said theory were never proved most people's agreed it was likely.

Off course while the ground forces were indeed damaging the leo forces it was nothing compared to the the air forces where the true focus of the battle was. First was that above each ground army was three zamouth nada-classe ship and five jegan equipped with force silhouette backpacks, they would keep the aries at bay from the ground units. The jegan main attack force was focused in the middle and was made up of the two Reinforce, one on the left and one on the right but still close enough for the five drake to cover them into a shield by having one above, one below, two behind and one on the front, it made a diamond shaped shield and ensured the safety of the carrieres, aboard the Reinforce on the left spike and twilight were on standby along the back up jegan units, in case a unit was heavily damaged during the battle, those jegan could be dropped and carried by the four jegan appointed to the reinforces anywhere onto the battlefield allowing the pilot to swap unit. The jagan would also deliver supplies all over the battlefield. The morning star was at the forefront right into the battle, pinkie was standing on it and showering the aries around it with bullet in short bursts, the ship was also supported by the remaining jegan, 33 jegan flying around and battling against the aries for the sky dominance and showing good result, the battle had started 15 minutes ago and already 36 aries were down and all jegan unharmed, the result of so many upgrades done in one go gave them the advantage of surprise and the first clash was disastrous for the griffin empire.

Kshatriya was among the fighter in the center but had relied on only her basic speed, wrists beam gun and gae bolga's beam Cannons, she wanted to spare her energy in case of emergencies, like some northern reinforcements or a mobile armor appearing.

Kshatriya was floating in the middle of the battle, she could pick MS flying around on her sensors and she focused on the aries who were close to shooting down jegan, the new jegan equipped with force silhouette were faster and nimbler than the aries but the sheer gap in number allowed the aries to simply hound a jegan in group and it was only thanks to pinkie and kshatriya that no jegan were lost yet, they had intercepted any finishing blow and also cutted short any chase too dangerous for the jegan. While pinkie was using short gatling burts and kept her missile in reserve she still could do what her unit was best for, providing cover fire and giving more room to her allies and hamper the enemies.

Kshatriya for her part was the biggest target here yet the aries seemed to ignore her since the start of the battle, she had asked hacks to get into their communication at first but the aries seemed to be divided among different frequencies and only communicated by group of ten or less, she couldn't listen to all communication at once and was too far of the adrastea to connect. since the start of the battle the adrastea had done nothing but a light bombardment at the start of the battle something it stopped after seeing that the morning star also had the range to assault them and pulled back out of range with a few scratches to their plating, it seemed the griffonian were opting for protecting their command landship and deal the killing blow to the equestrian only after wearing them out.

"Command, kshatriya here, the enemy aries are taking losses but i have yet to see any of the torus do rainbow has a visual?"

"Here command center, the answer is negative kshatriya, she is still in ambush but she say won't do so forever, she has been complaining about waiting since the start of the battle."

"Go figure, tell her to stay silent and wait, the first bullets of a marksman are the deadliest, she stay on standby and bear with it!" kshatriya sent her order and punctuated it by aiming her left hand to an aries chasing behind a jegan and nailing it on the cockpit through its left arm, it bursted into flame and crashed perturbing a few aries around who still refused to attack her.

"Any news for why they aren't attacking me?"

"Nothing certain but the most likely theory is that the aries have evaluated you as a mobile armor and refuse to waste effort and time on attacking what they have little chance to bring down, since they haven't retreated it also mean they believe to have something capable of dealing with you ma'am so be on the lookout."

Kshatriya took some time to think about it and nodded,"good theory, i'll be careful. Also what is your name? I didn't ask you during the assault on canterlot."

"My name is coloratura but everyone call me rara."

"I'll keep that in mind."

-kshatriya large hostile, rapid approach from above!

Kshatriya POV

(Put in repeat until said otherwise.)(Gundam 00 OST 1 Track 2 Unknown)

music

I brought my wing up into an X pattern shield and activated the phase shift armor on them just in time to block the impact of a mega beam on me from above, i could feel the strain to keep the phase shift armor on my energy reserve and moved out of the way, i powered my thruster and rose to the enemy, grabbing gae bolga tighter i waited the last moment and opened my wings, thrusting my spear forward.

"What the?!" i froze as a claw grabbed my lance and pushed it aside while another grabbed my left leg, i looked at the beam cannon powering in front of me. "Shit!" i put two wings in front of me and shooted with a short burst of two mega particle cannons, the enemy released its hold on me and pulled back giving me my first good look at it,

"*tch* the Alvatore such a bothersome mobile armor, hacks scan it and send me the data!"

-unit is based on the alvator mobile armor, scan show an absence of most of its features namely its gn technologie thought a very similar source of energy is detectable, it also possess an alternative for most missing gn tech, the fang are still absent and the beam cannon was weaker than it should i also detect a relatively strong barrier akin to a gn-field around it, the field was unable to completely stop your attack but was able to weaken it considerably, by crossing data i suspect this field to be the same as the one to prevent magic or rather energy at large from condensing, but a thicker variant. It seem to only perturb our weapons instead of nullifying them.

'Bad news, our jegan weapons won't work on him then', "command center a mobile armor as appeared i will engage it alone in combat, tell the jegan around to focus on the aries and stay sharp for stray attacks, keep me informed of the battlefield situation but i may not be able to help if problem arise."

I took a better hold on my lance and rushed at the alvator who had retracted its beam cannon and who opened fire with its beam turrets while retreating in zigzag, i spinned and dodged as much as i could while tanking the rest with my wings and spear.

"Understood kshatriya, the right side of the field were first lieutenant applejack is stationned is being assaulted by the enemy torus, they appeared from the everfree and engaged the zamouths and jegans, the zamouth are reporting heavy damages and we lost three jegan, the right field propose to assist them."

"No! Send spike and its custom gafran, it can deal with aerial battle better also give dash the permission to bring down some of the torus, tell her to spare some bullets in case of emergencies." i send the orders while also raining stab on the alvator who blocked with its claws, i knew all about the alvator, among them was were its pilot was and i was trying to reach it with my spear, the pilot had seemed to realise this and was expertly keeping himself safe while pelting me with its beam turrets, it was doing almost no damage to my gundanium armor but it didn't cover everything's and while each beam were weak and not all reached a vulnerable spot quantity is a quality of its own and damage started to appear on the softest part of my frame. Beside i had no doubt the enemy had more ace up their sleeves and i wanted to deal with this one quickly, i stabbed once more but let the alvator grab my lance and opened my left hand at it, i sent a powerful crimson wave who perturbed it long enough to brute force my spear forward despite its hold, at the last second the alvator opened its top and deflected my spear aside while the Alvaaron inside fired its beam rifle at me, i placed a wing in front of me and jumped back to dodge the second claw hook.

I looked at the alvaaron sitting inside the alvator as the top reclosed on top of him hiding it again,"this pilot is strange, something like opening the top just to push me away, it's an 'ugly' move its not standart or technical, purely practical. Hacks try to access this units comset, i want to hear its pilot."

-understood, connecting, engaging firewall...connection established.

Kshatriya listened closely as a voice transmitted into her head."it connected to my comeset? Interesting."

'this voice, i would recognize it anywhere...'

(stop music)

"Ali Al Saachez!" i screamed on the band and pounced at the alvator in an a fit of anger, the alvator grabbed my lance with both claw and we entered into a deadlock.

"Ho! Been a while since we called me that! So your like me too?"

"Eh?" i stopped pushing and the alvator took this chance to throw me down all the way to the ground where i almost crash landed, hacks worked the thruster and stabilized us on the ground as i took a defensive stance.

"The hell are you talking about?" my green eye scanned the floating alvator for any suspect moves, in gundam 00, Ali Al Saachez was a monster, cut and dry. Cruel, maniac and sly and he had the piloting skill to take on those who would seek revenge. I couldn't afford any moment of inattention.

"Am i perhaps the first one you meet? Interesting, you aren't the only one to have been sent here y'know? Thought you are one i didn't know off. So tell me when were you reborn on this little playground of ours eh?"

"You, you are the Ali Al Saachez who faced the gundams aren't you?"

"You know those youngster? It's even more interesting!" its beam turrets opened fire, i strafed right to dodge them still wary of my surrounding in case he had renfort on ambush."let's do a trade girl, you ask me a question and i answer, but then i get a question and you answer too? Seems fair to me!"

I mentally narrowed my eyes wich made my green mono eye dim."fine, what are you in this world, what is your story." i pointed my left wrist at him and fired a salvo of beams aimed to the turrets, i nailed two before he closed the acces and rushed me with its claws raised high, he slammed both of them on me but i blocked with gae bolga as my feet dug into the ground, we were once again into a standstill.
Inside is cockpit Ali Al saachez grinned as he pushed down on the commands.
"Ah, good question, with a complicated answer, the closest you could call it is reincarnation i suppose. I didn't remember who i was from birth but after reaching 14 it came back to me, a dream followed by a sudden burst of knowledge. It took years for me to get rid of this "new" worthless me and be ME again!" he raised a claw and slammed it back on my lance, he started repeating the motion and swapping claw each time.

I mentally gritted my teeth and took a deep breath in then let it out, it showed by my air vent expelling hot air from my back and torso, i redirected one of the blow by making it slide on my lance destabilising the alvator and stabbed, he launched upward but my blow still connected with one of the landing gear and crushed and i fired both beam cannons at point blank, the beam attack was weakened but still pushed him away and damaged its underside.

"Tch not bad, now my turn to ask a question, what army were you part of, you knew me so you must come from my timeline right? Where do you come from?"

'?! So he know pilots from others gundam serie? Does he know its just a fiction? No he clearly treated the gundam pilot from his timeline as true peoples not character, but he does seem to know about people who come from different gundam series!' kshatriya took some time to think as Ali Al Saachez seemed content to just wait out her answer,'i can't play fair with this asshole, i shouldn't reveal too much or it'll bit me in the ass later!'

"Sorry but i was a civilian when i heard of you, no military formation here. I was just someone who was lucky enough to get its dream unit made for her. Later i was lost into space while in some sort of stasis and woke up on this planet moon. " No lie here, just a lot of omission.

"Pff ahahahah, seriously?! You lost yourself into space?! It's ridiculous, still this unit is nice. Large array of beam weaponry and your spear and armor are made of very tough material i also spotted things that remind me of fangs under your wings. For a civilian to get such a thing....you must have had very special circumstance to get this thing right? And to think you didn't even have to die to come here, it kind of piss me off!"

"*humpf* it's my turn to ask a question wait for yours, what are the old names of those like us you know of?"kshatriya eye shined brighter reminding ali al saachez of a grin, 'lets see how you react to the one question answering many trick!'

Saachez snorted,"you girl got smart i see, but smartass get killed on the battlefield!"

I tensed and all my sensors went into overdrive, i strafed left dodging a rocket coming from behind who obliterated the ground were i was, i followed with a jump letting the salvo of bullets from my left pass under me at my precedent spot, i blocked the left claw hook of the alvator with my lance by stabbing through it and the left one with my left hand by grabbing the sharp tip before it could pierce me.

"I'll crush you to pieces and i'll take care of those gundam afterward, at least now i know where they came from! To see more of those monsters, it really piss me off!" ali al saachez screamed spitfully.

He pressed its right claw more trying to force through my grip on it, i looked around seeing the unit who had attacked me, there was a group of fully equipped kämpfer and there was even a whopping ten of them, all armed with two Jagdgewehr 192mm Shotgun, one in hand the other stored on the lower back, two 360mm Giant Bazooka stored on boths scapula, two Sturm Faust who were one use hand held rocket and were pretty much self propelled grenade and were stored at the hips, and stored on the back near the spine was a rolled chain mine, basically a number of disc-shaped mines connected to each other by flexible cable and who could stick to either wall or ground but could also be whipped toward an MS to make them explode directly on him though there was risk for the user since they were close of the explosion. They also had blue shield reminding of the sinanju if only smaller and simpler on the left arm from which the handle of a heat sword could be seen.

'*tch* kampfer?! Those are good MS's, and ten of them no less!'

I powered my crimson wave and pumped enough energy to at least destroy the entire left claw of the alvator, i despised ali al saachez but i needed him to answer my questions so i couldn't kill him yet.

'this is going to be a tough battle, but i'll see it through, because if this piece of shit is here maybe some of my heros may have come too, and i'll be damned if i don't meet them after having to deal with this grade A asshole!'

The alvator claw bulged and started boiling and bubbling, saaches just had the time to say "what the hell?!" before the whole arm and even a large part of the main body started to heat red hot and bend out of shape.

Saachez took off from the mobile armor with its alvaaron and even kshatriya had to quickly move away shocked that the alvator was affected so strongly by the radiant wave.

The alvator bulged and exploded into a massive explosion that draw the attention of most MS around.

rara was shocked but unlike most didn't lose focus and transmitted to the princess and all unit the info,"here command center, the enemy mobile armor was destroyed! i repeat enemy mobile armor destroyed!"

this sent a massive boost to the equestrian army morale who redoubled effort into taking down the aries and leo.

princess luna's voice was heard over the com,"huzza! the enemy ace was brought low in record speed! victory is nigh!"

celestia smiled but hardened her feature,"calm down sister, all units stay on alert, the enemy pilot still escaped into a sub-unit and he is still accompanied with the griphonian shock troops and still no news of miliardo and whatever renforts he might bring."

all units refocused on their own fight, the battle of ponyville was far from over.

Author's Note

i replaced " crimson wave " by " radiant wave " since its the actual name of the tech. also since the next chapter is going to be decisive, because that's the one i keep hesitating on where i should lead the story toward.

basically i hesitating between more gundam or more mlp, i mainly explored the more gundam path but i can't help but feel it make the story even more fast paced,i already found i moved the plot too fast and should have made more character development and more descriptions etc.

so yeah i'm not taking the story out of hiatus yet for that reason. still writing and thinking about it when i have free time and have ideas for it.

(i also have story i have yet to publish i'm working on and i tend to write only when i got the urge to, so it does slow me down a bit as well as my work. so yeah sorry this story is going to be a slow update one i'm afraid.)

the battle of ponyville 3

Kshatraiya POV

I had moved a lot closer to the ground than i liked, almost into the leo's range of attack. Ali al saachez and its alvaator were floating a bit higher in front of me clearly wary of me while the kampfer had split into two team, three left to assist the aries while seven stayed spread around me weapons ready.

'our stats hacks, also what the hell happened with the radiant wave?!'

'-83% energy left, minor damages on the arms joints and a slightly overheated claw are being repaired as we speak. Analysis of the data, the enemy energy dispersing field as increased the effect of the radiant wave drastically, the weapon concept is the sudden expansion of mega particles into matter making it heat up quickly. The energy dispersion wave enhanced the speed at which it happen and so its destructive power.'

Kshatriya eye glowed brighter,'then we have the field weakness, we just adapt it into long range and shoot down the towers. But that's for later. Right now i need to deal with those trash.'

Time dilated as she focused, the world slowing down as more thinking cores went into action soon the world seemed almost still as seconds stretched into hours.

'seven kampfer ready to face me, three in potential ambush, an alvaator piloted by an ace pilot, aries by the dozen, around half of the leo still alive and the torus on the right flank harassing applejack...its too much, once the reinforcement from the north arrive we'll be screwed, milliardo is a tough enemy to face with odds in my favor let alone against. I need to reduce those numbers and even the playing field. Lets go batman style.'

Kshatriya shut down her thrusters and fell down, but faded away like a mirage before reaching the ground.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Third POV

The enemy units had two second of wondering what was going on before four massive beam shot from seemingly nowhere erasing four kampfer before fading into the sky.

Ali al saachez snarled, eyes wide."the enemy mobile armor turned invisible you moron, keep moving! Your all just practice target standing still!"

Chaos descended in the griffonian empire ranks as aries, leo and even three kampfer exploded from smaller more precise cutting green beam coming from the ground.

Of course ali al saachez was not a fool and had slowly found where the beams had came from he aimed and unleashed his twin beam rifle in a barrage of shots that obliterated the ground beneath him, the remaining kampfer shot there bazookas and even a few leo and aries followed suit with there machine gun lifting a massive cloud of dust.

Ali al saachez looked at the cloud and frowned,"yeah not taking any chance, clear the view."

A kampfer launched a sturm faust and and another shot it down above ground, the shockwave blew the cloud off revealing kshatriya unharmed inside a glowing green bubble of energy.

*sigh*. "Of course it got its own barrier, why wouldn't it?"

Kshatriya now revealed lowered the i-field barrier and propelled herself upward breaking the sound barrier two time in seconds going straight at the alvaaron who discarded one of its beam rifle and took out a beam saber.

"That's right come at me!" the three kampfer around him spread out intent on aiding him in the fight from different angle, but when kshatriya was sure ali was convinced she was aiming for him she extended her two right wings,catching the wind. Increased her left thruster output sending herself into a spin and turned 180 degree and then stopped almost instantly just out of ali's range she moved her wing closer to her body and the alvaaron instead of kshatriya spear was met with the 40 funnel canons strapped to the inside of the wings unleashing a focused volley at him, he launched up but still saw its MS legs get shredded to pieces below the tights its balance crumbled to pieces and before he could shoot the kshatriya, the mobile armor was already away ravaging the spread out kampfer.

"T-that's not possible, she was going way to fast to stop in such short time, the g-force would have killed her, knocked her out at least! And she even sped up right away, such pressure are deadly for a human!" he looked as aries in her way were torn apart while she rushed the kampfer, some from being wing bashed to pieces and other with a casuel flick of the spear or wrist mounted beam gun, some where even shot down without warning from the funnels still stuck to her wings."well, it won't reflect well on my record but fuck it, i ain't dying again yet." he turned around and moved away severely slowed by its MS messed up balance and multiple damages errors in the system.

Kshatriya moved at mach two or three at almost all time, meaning even while turning, she could almost hear the joint on her thrusters scream as she kept going faster and taking tighter turn slowly she even stopped positioning face front with her targets and simply moved her arm where she knew the enemy was. All thanks to hacks managing the sensor and updating the map. Kshatriya didn't need to see the enemy with her optic if she could see them on the map, of course it might have been harder if kshatriya perception of time wasn't slowed down to a crawl.

She finally stopped letting her thruster cool-down and her nano-machine repair the wear of the joint after a final charge right through the last of the ten kampfer, her spear tearing right through its abdomen and and right shoulder. She turned around and looked for ali al saachez.

Kshatriya POV

'alright, got the kampfer and the alvaaron is heavely damaged i just need t-to, w-what...'

Kshatriya felt sluggish her mind slow and weary, she checked her energy level worried she had drained more than expected but her fear were dispersed seeing she was still at 73%.

'h-hacks, i d-don't feel so good. What's going on?'

'-doing a scan of the cores......problem found, the processing core are overheating, nothing dramatic but the surplus of heat is heating up the thinking and personality cores by proximity, cooling down the components is recommended please follow the step: 1 take a deep breath in and exhale, both action by the nose, not literally since the kshatriya does not posses such facial feature but attempting to do will redirect the air intake and release to go through the cores chamber only instead of the reactors.'

Hacks followed the step and hot wind was pushed out of her downward from the abdomen instead of the chest like before.

'shouldn't the cooling be automatic?'she asked.

'-actually all ventilation are sealed in combat, to reduce the risk of foreign object getting inside the hull. It is possible to manually activate them by doing "breathing exercises"like you just did kshatriya. In addition, even the cooling system would have been overwhelmed, the usage of extreme time dilatation is very taxing on the processor core, that in addition to the thrusters being used so much and the reactors working at full power and a a lot of heat is generated.'

'don't really have a choice, i don't have the reflex and reaction time needed to push my body at this level without doing that. Even then it took me time to cut of unnecessary move and be more efficient.'

Kahstriya evaluated her surrounding, gone was the overwhelming numbers difference instead the jegan were almost all in one on two fight and the enemy loss were ranking up quickly. The leo were all gone, the torus seemed to have been dealt heavy damage by dash and spike and the aries were panicking because their 5 man teams were now all missing more than halves of their members and all semblance of military orders seemed gone. She searched for a bit and found ali al saachez way away from the battle and moving to the adrastea.

"Oh fuck no dirt-bag!"kshatriya grabbed her lance with two hand and activated the main cannon, gae bolga split into four an started spinning while energy arcs formed at its core.

'-where you not attempting a capture kshatriya?'

"Screw that, this fucker die here and now, no way i'm letting this fucker out of my sight for any reason other than he start smelling rotten. Too many bullshit problem came from not finishing a psycho on the first meeting."

Green sparks were gushing out of the spear while its four spike where blurring from spinning. Kshatriya pressed the spear trigger.

'-kshatriya alert!'

Kshatriya saw a beam impact with her spear spike and all hell broke lose, the spear spinning device jammed and the mega particle were not contained anymore, she aimed the spear up and held tight the weapon trying to escape her grip as the high penetration beam was replaced by a long range high pressure flame thrower who released all the mega particle into one big *BANG!* the explosion shacking the whole area.

"What the fuck hacks?! Were did this come from?!"

'-sorry kshatriya, this unit wasn't here a moment ago, it moved into attack range from beyond sensor range in an instant.'

Kshatriya turned to her aggressor and froze. The half melted spear in her hand forgotten in profit of fear.

The unit was white and bulky with a red Mohawk and a round shield branded of an eagle on its left shoulder, in its hand was a complete copy of the gun kshatriya had given to rainbow dash and on its back the still burning hot thruster backpack was keeping it afloat a few kilometer from her.

"T-that's him isn't it? I know only one guy capable of shooting this precisely from this far while rushing full speed with this behemoth."

Resounding from the newcomer MS and over the battlefield came a voice that kshatriya had fantasied about in her youth.

"Brave soldiers of the griffon empire, regroup on my position, i milliardo piercedraft and my personal guards, are joining the fight at your side."

The aries who a moment ago were barely more than headless chicken seemed to regain their wit at the appearance of a new leadership and more units could be seen approaching fast, the north front reinforcement and milliardo personal guards probably.

't-that's fine this is okay, i already dealt with the alvaaron and the kampfer, so all is going according to plan, just need to fight milliardo, milliardo in is favorite unit, with its personal guard. No biggie....'

"Command center? Milliardo is here. Please advise."

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Luna POV

Luna and her bertigo were on the launch pad, her hand flowing over her handles and screens. Doing additional last minute check was a good way to prevent problems at the worst of time.

"Luna, are you ready to deploy?"said Celestia from the com screen.

"I am sister, inform kshatriya of my arrival, do we have supports ready, either escort or ranged support?"she crouched onto the pad and hooked her bertigo's feet to the catapult.

Celestia shook her head,"none, lieutenant rainbow dash has no ammunition left and i want her exactly where she is, miss pie is still covering the daughtress, the ground force are free but i doubt they can help effectively beside, some torus may remain in hiding and i want to keep some units close to the city."

"Then i shall rely on kshatriya alone. If her last action on the field are anything to go by, she will be more than enough to deal with milliardo."

Celestia eyes narrowed in worry, she switched the channel to private preventing other channel to overhear them."i doubt it, she seemed to slow down considerably after this 'rush', i don't know enough about her units working to do any hypothesis on why but she does not sound confident, even scared beside you only need to restrain milliardo long enough not defeat him. Also killing him will only create more problem down the line for us so..."

Luna scowled,"i will not kill him, but i reserve myself the right to subdue him fully should the opportunity present itself."

Celstia rolled her eyes,"fair enough."she watched her sister solemnly."god speed luna and be safe. I love you, your all the family i have sister.

Luna's bertigo was ready and she strapped her safety belt and grasped the handles firmly, she smiled fondly."i love you as well sister. Luna, bertigo unit going out!"

The bertigo limbs went rigid and the catapult launched forward giving the unit a burst of speed. It launched out of the morning sun, the bertigo thrusters turned on spewing blue fire and leaving a trail of color across the sky, the daughtress around cheered as one of the princesses joined the field.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rainbow dash POV

Rainbow was having a really good day, she had nailed 30 hit for 30 bullets and was now free to join the field. She had done so and joined with rarity side of the battle, spike having joined applejack earlier. She had enjoyed herself just chasing after aries and tearing them apart with her head mounted vulcan and saber but they had rapidly started to stay away from her and rarity position, to her delight for the respite, but now she looked to the center of the battlefield, mad.

"That fucker completely passed us by, didn't even see him fly in front of us." she was reeling for a shot at him, milliardo had almost killed princess luna last time he fought with equestria and as her guard it was a stain on her pride. She had saved the princess along with her follow guards but the toll was heavy and only the damages the princess had done to its unit back then and that said unit had been a leo had allowed that.

"Darling, i do believe those gentleman are trying to pass through here without saying hello."rarity said on dash com.

"What?"rainbow turned to rarity and then followed where she pointed, she saw a group of 12 leo flying in formation using a strange backpack coming from the north. They were painted white and held round shield and some weapon suspiciously similar to her dober gun.

"Leo flying? This is new, and bad considering leo are all around better than aries and seeing them fly they look better at flying too. Then again it could be the pilots talent showing."

Rarity voice came up again."go ahead dear, we will keep this side of thing safe, i don't think the princess and kshatriya want to be disturbed against milliardo."

Rainbow hesitated, if she was supposed to intersect them the command center would ha-

"Lieutenant rainbow dash here the command center units comic from the north, please intercept them before they can join the center of the battlefield."

'i love when thing come together so i can kick ass.' she refocused to the com screen."understood, i'm intercepting now. Rarity i'm off, be back in ten second flat."

Rarity laughed and let out a tired sigh."as always."

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Milliardo piercedraft POV

'i was late, not to late buts late all the same. The castle frame -never going to get over this phrasing- the Mobile armor is destroyed, the industrial leo all gone, only a token of the taurus and aries units left. To top it all the core units of the Mobile armor is heavily damaged and all that without doing any damage to the equestrian forces. Even with gilda brazen temperament it shouldn't have went so poorly.'

He looked at the unit in front of him, a black and silver behemoth of a MS with four wings and clawed hand, it was mono eyed and its armor plate material was one he recognized immediately.

'a Mobile armor sized gundam, worrisome even if interesting.'

It had been armed with a massive beam canon but the weapon was easily made unstable with a single shot and damaged itself beyond use.

'a prototype no doubt. Like the rest of this unit i believe, its equipped with a wide array of weapons and gimmick i can tell, the fact that aside of the spear it doesn't have a held weapon tell me that some are built-in, standard design in mobile armors.'

He checked the surrounding wreckage for the damage inflicted to them.

'beam weaponry and highly penetrating in most case, some mark similar to the epyon's beam sword, what is going on here?'

Suddenly is com was hacked, a voice making itself heard.

"Hello, milliardo piercedraft, or should i use peacecraft?"

Milliard felt the feather around its eyes twitch as they widened,"how?!"

"How indeed, name's kshatriya by the way, see you got a tallgeese this time as well, fate seem to keep you together."

"Answer the question, how do you know this name?! Who are you?"

"i know cause I've followed your story with the gundam with great interest, and that since you were known as Zechs Merquise. as for who i am, i'm the one who's spear you just destroyed.

milliardo took in a deep breath and calmed down,"and why is my enemy calling me and wasting the advantage of knowing me and my past, for blackmail i presume?"

"wrong, i'd rather like to think you can be reasoned with, you are a proud man with integrity, the griffonian empire are going down the path of exterminating the equestrian, its wrong and you know it. what would heero think? what of relena?"

he tensed, "they are not here, here only gilda matters and as long as blackbeack agents stay around her, i have no other choice. now enough time wasted, fight!"

the talgeese took off in an instant gaining altitude, shooting the Mobile armor with its dober gun even thought the bullet were easily deflected by kshatriya wings and her six drown blades.

milliardo surprised by kshatriya six sword wielding stance still heard the last phrase of kshatriya.

"t'was worth a shot."

the battle for ponyville 4

Third person pov

The kshatriya had lost no time entering saber range with the tallgeese, from then the dober gun had been set back on the side still strapped to its shoulder and a pink saber had been drawn from the shield now held firmly in its hand. They shared a few blow and entered into a rhythm of high low risk low reward feint and passing blow.

They were judging each other and kshatriya had quickly put away the sabers in her wings unable to share her focus between all of them under milliardo onslaught of attack and forced to constantly pull away from the trade she couldn't see the outcome of.

'how is he pushing me back so much?!'

Off course she already know how, milliardo used all her opening and weakness and aimed at joint and vital part like the cockpit or main optics almost constantly and with a precision and confidence that turned its feint into impossible to ignore threat. She ended up having to take each possible blow as a real one and was forced into the defensive.

If it wasn't enough it was clear he knew how to counter higher spec units, he interrupted any of her move before she could put weight behind them and kept her unstable and at a range that was far too close for comfort considering her longer arms reach.

And to top it all she was using a weapon he knew particularly well, the saber of the epyon were less condensed than regular beam saber and could actually be pierced by the thrust of one near its tip, as such she had to increase her saber particle output on the fly since leaving them on high power would drain her energy faster.

'd-dammit! I won't last long when other enemy units join if i'm already being thrown around like that by him alone!'
She was so worried she didn't see the shield strike that took her on her right side, it was followed by a downward slash coming and she crossed her blade up to block, but it was a feint and instead she took the tallgeese heel to the guts and was sent just below the tallgeese, she tried to pull up as leaving the high ground to him was a bad idea but before she could the tallgeese had retaken its dobergun in hand and shot her down at point blank, she fell from the sky her head smoking and sparking.

"Hacks the main optic is gone, i'm blind!!!"

'-repair underway kshatriya, the damage are manageable,image back into 1.30 minutes.'

"1.30 minutes?! I hardly got a second!"

A hail of bullets forced the tallgeese to pull back and fly around as it followed him, the heavy arm piloted by pinkie had noticed what was going on and seeing how the battle against the aries was -despite milliardo speech- still very on sided in favor of equestria decided to focus on lending a hand to kshatriya.

"Get off her meany!"pinkie and her heavy arm where falling from the sky having jumped from the ship and landed hard in front of the downed kshatriya before opening her shoulder silos and released a salvo of missiles.

The tallgeese fell into a dive as a missile hit its left shoulder ripping a part of its added hull leaving the ball joint exposed but still operational.

'the heavy arm? How did he end here?!' milliardo wondered,'wait, this kshatriya said she followed my story since i was zech but i never heard of her, if she could follow all my life since then without my notice is it so hard for her to get her hand on the gundams blueprints? Of course not. This woman is even more dangerous than i thought.'

Milliardo pulled the tallgeese up and picked altitude again while dodging the heavy arm hails of bullets. Turning around and flying just shy of the ground he pushed the tallgeese thruster into fullpower shield forward straight at pinkie . Pinkie stood her ground and braced for impact even while firing, the tallgeese only took a few scrash and bullets impact before hitting the heavy arm and lifting it up and across the battlefield for miles before slamming the heavy arm back on the ground, the tallgeese was straddled on the heavy arm.

Pinkie unlocked the knife in her right forearm and slashed at the tallgesse but milliardo knew about the hidden blade and caught it in its shield's edge were it cut deep and ended stuck.

"Crap basket!"pinkie screamed, her left arm was stuck into the gatling, useless at short range and her right arm was stuck along with the blade as for her missiles at this range it was goingto hurt her maybe more than him since she was stuck against the ground.

Milliardo raised its beam saber high but before he could finish pinkie off, it was the tallgees turn to be tackled and lifted off the ground and toward the sky, the heavy arm blade snapping off instantly with how fast the talleese had been ripped from atop it.

"T-this mobile suit it belong to?!"milliardo muttered, the blue units had large shoulder pad and long arm-guard as well as a head crest.

Luna's voice confirmed its suspicion."long time no see toddler, playing rough with my friend i see?" the bertigo threw the tallgeese to the side but before he could gets its bearing back she fired at him with the beam canon in her forearm and got its backpack left thrusters unable to maintain its altitude he started to fall, she took advantage of the high ground and opened fire at him, milliardo did its best but its shield could only cover so much and its damaged backpack barely allowed dodging maneuver.

The talgeese finally crashed down smocking with half melted hull plates and ripped apart mechanic, giving each limbs response a quick check-up, milliardo was relieved to once more behold the tallgeese resilience. He severed power to a few now missing part and ejected every useless pieces of hull he could, solving the MS system problem in barely a few second and instant decision.

"Princess luna, it seem your unit was upgraded, just like all of the equestria units."now grounded the tallgeese was an easy prey for the flight capable bertigo and any units from the equestria passing by and deciding to attack him, having ejected a lot of plating the tallgeese was much lighter but also more fragile. Milliardo was doubtful of his chance.

The bertigo landed a few step from him,"indeed, and with the advantage in technologie gone we can now dispense some much needed spanking to l the young fool who thought themselves above morality and decency. You first and your maggots of father -a blight upon him- next." she turned on her two beam saber and took a stance. Both pointed forward, but her right arm was close to her while the left arm was almost fully extended.

Milliardo also took a Stance, ejecting aside the dober gun and raising is shield in front of its xcockpit he point is blade behind him from above is shoulder as if ready to slash downward.

They circled each others for some time, neither attacking merely waiting for a signal. A momentary wekness. And princess luna found it first.

______________________________

third person pov

After checking on pinkie, Kshatriy had observed with her secondary optic as her employer luna and one of her idols milliardo took there respective stance, her main optic was back online a few second before the clash.

And what a clash. It was beyond just speed it was like a choreography. Each blow was met with another there was no blocking no parry, merely attack meeting each others in a shower of spark and cacophony of straining plasma and mechanic. Each trade flowed into the next each dadge and shield deflected hit was done with hair thin movement.

't-this is...incomparable. So this is what two experimented pilots fighting look like in rel life.' the kshatriya visibly trembled.

'-kshatriya, you are experiencing a strong emotionnal reaction. You should tke the opportunity of the tllgeese being bussy to incapacitate it?'

'n-no way, i'm shaking in terror hacks can't you see?'

'-scanning...scanning complete. Diagnosis: incorrect kshatriya, you are clearly shaking from excitement.'

Had ksgatriya had a mouth, her smile would have splited her cheeks.

She let out an unsettling dry chuckle.'dammnit, how could i help it, look at them. They. Are. Beautifully!'

Milliardo's blade and the bertigo's blade clashed onlast time and then.

Milliardo shield's edge slammed into the left hand of the bertigo crushing its fingers and batted aside its right hand. It tried to capitalize on this with a clean slash of its beam saber but got nailed two time by beam laser, one in the right elbow just between the plating blasting its armed hand off and another almost nailed its head but instead melted its optic by how close it came to.

Milliardo looked left from where the beam had come, and far far away all the way atop the equestria ship stood the exia, holding a beam laser meant for a jegan with both hand.

'this girl got a mean aim!'

Milliardo grunted as the tallgeese was thrown down, frour beam saber pinning him to the ground two above two bellow its arms.

"Got you!" kshatriya yelled."its over milliardo, i have the high ground!"

Milliardo looked around for a way out, its arm could be sliced off way before he could do anything. The enemy units was far too heavy to be kicked away, all he could hope for was is personal guards.

"Knight to blank units, need assistance what is your E.T.A?"

There was a moment of silence and dread took hold of milliardo."sorry chump, your boy got no wing left to reach you. Come say hi to your boss." said rainbow dash voice on the com.

"S-sorry sir, she plucked us out of the sky right on the crazy woman clutch ghu!" there was a hitting noise and a grunt of pain.

"How do you call my friend crazy asshole! Anyway, don't wait for help from here before surrendering chump, none coming your way. "

________________________________________________________
Rainbow dash P.O.V

Rainbow let the com fall to the ground and turned to the bound griffin around her, while she plucked the feather of the newcomer of the north, rarity was dismembering them, by orders of the princess none was to be killed. Milliardo and is close aid were part of the moderate party of griffonia and milliardo and is sister in particular were the children of an old friend of celestia.

Rainbow dash didn't like it though."fucking politic getting into matter of honor...who care about there mom and belief, those asshole still killed equestrians when said to."

She looked around, no enemy units in the air and the basic leo had long since been cleaned out. While kshatriya, luna pinkie and in some measure twilight had dealt with milliardo, the other had cleared the field of any threat.

"Rainbow dear, if you are done tying the scoundrel up, might i suggest going back in your unit?" rarity was busy plucking the javelin from the nearby body, those had proved very useful into crippling units without blowing them up, and there short side had allowed there use even in melee."i simply must ask kshatriya if she has other weapon like those, felt like old time when i used my needles..."

The mood of rainbow lightened a bit at earring her friend good mood, jumping on the opportunity to nurture it she answered."bet she does, gal might be a pervert but she know her tech."

Rarity's units seemed to freeze before the optic slowly focused on rainbow walking back to her unit."my word rainbow, this sound like gossip! You must tell me more!"

She grinned as she hoped aboard,"sure, see it started with her and princess luna talking on our way back from-"

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

third person POV

kshatriya was sweating, figuratively of course. she had listened to there conversation and waited for milliardo to surrender but...it wasn't coming, he was just silent.'come on big guy, don't make me do this, i didn't come here to kill my idols!'

after what felt like hours and unable to wait any longer she spoke again."please milliardo, its enough just surrender and lets talk thing out like the peacraft normally do."

finally milliardo answered."*sigh* i can't surrender. blackbeak has my sister gilda surrounded by is agent, one step out of line from me or her and they kill her, same if i get too close of her."

kshatriya relaxed a bit,"well...that's a possibly nice coincidence. i guess?"

milliardo frowned,"how so?"

*BOOM*

an explosion pulled everyone's attention to the adrastea, the main control room was on fire and all who's optic could reach saw something burst out the shattered window.

"here agent berserk! i got the VIP alive! asking for extraction!"

kshatriya chuckled as she heard fluttershy sweet beautiful voice, and spoke to milliardo, "we kind of just abducted her in the chaos."

Fluttershy POV just before the battle of ponyville

Fluttershy in her kneeling deathscyth was hidden by the massive trees of the everfree. After the destruction of the tree of harmony the forest had grown, not outward -thankfully for ponyville- but in height. Where before tree had been barely reaching above a regular MS they now towered at at least three up to ten time their sizes. The trunk of the trees were also wider and had grown a bark that proved to resist almost any common weaponry, but for all its newfound growth and increased resistance the forest had grown "sluggish" as some said. Gone was the time when manticore, cockatrice or hydra where common sight, even timber wolf where now gone, the forest was bigger yes but devoid of actual danger for most who went in. The reason was that the forest dangers had swarmed its center. Once the only safe place in the forest the place where the fabled tree of harmony had its root was now surrounded by the wild magic and creatures of the everfree and its deadly danger. None could get through.

But all those fact were in fact welcome today since Fluttershy was quite grateful for the absence of threat as she exited the deathscythe. Her mission was capital, she was to infiltrate the enemy command landship and capture gilda piercedraft. If she succeeded the griffonian army stationed on equestrian soil would be leaderless and the next general appointed would have to restructure everything on arrival considering how the rest of the higher Commandment -composed solely of blackbeack children- had done their best to hinder it to discredit Gilda. By the time all was said and done, equestria would have pulled its head out of the water and the recently freed guards recuperated enough to bolster its army. In addition milliardo the general of the army settled between the crystal empire and equestria was well known to care greatly for is sister and it was likely he would surrender for her security once she was in equestrian custody. Following this equestria and the crystal empire could rebuild a united front again the griffonian on the east.

'once a few minor follow up operations are done a counter attack may even be possible.'

It was while thinking on this that she jumped off her units and landed heavily on the ground, her sharpened talon digging into the earth. She turned to the three jegan nearby,"alright everyone, pay attention please. I'll be going alone from here, you three stand ready to lend a hand if its alright with you. Since i probably wont be able to secure the target without being noticed I'll exit quickly using the explosives-"she tapped on the satchel on her lowed back."-that sunset kindly made for me. Those things once placed on a wall will pierce right through the hull all the way out, once done I'll rush out and i need you to cover me until I'm back here and in my unit, if its no trouble for you okay?"

The three jegan simply raised a thumb up and nodded. She smiled and nodded back before her face turned back into a determined one and taking off with a curt."I'll be right back."

She ran around the tree and stopped behind a bush to observe the land ship, hearing the sound of battle far in the distance she hoped the others would be alright and once she was sure the battle was going for long enough to direct most of the attention its way took a running stance. She focused on her sight alone. Slowly her vision grew more focused. She looked at the ship in detail searching for indication that someone was looking her way, a window or a camera or something, but she noticed none.

'lets go.'she thought, her heartbeat then jumped up higher to the point most would be able to ear it just by standing beside her, her chest actually shook with the strength of each beat. She pushed on her talon and she was off.

Her hips joint at that moment should have snapped under the immense strength of her artificial limbs, but her tightly weaved muscles held strong and compensated for her articulation. She felt the burn where her tight and Artificial leg met but held strong and in three second and one solid jump she had made it halfway to the Adrastea and was a good three feet above ground. In a superhuman feat of strength she tensed her abdominal and tight muscles and forced both her heavy metallic legs beneath her from her fully extended jumping stance to a slightly bent landing one, her posture was nothing but perfect and would have put to shame many athlete, especially considering she couldn't feel her limbs and had to rely on pure practice and know how. She landed with barely a sound, she bent down absorbing the shock and entire velocity she had gained on her fall like a spring and at the right time, when she felt her momentum was being redirected up she pushed. She exploded upward and forward tearing the ground beneath her to shred and flying all the way up the adrastea and crashed just a few meter above the landship belly. Her clawed hands and talon stabbing three inch deep right into its hull to keep herself in place.

Taking a deep breath she didn't waste time climbing the last meter between her and the command center, she placed her hand on the steel surface and clenched her claw, the talon digging into it and ensuring a good grip. She searched for the nearest entry point. She couldn't be sure no one had heard or noticed her presence and speed was of essence. She quickly found a ventilation grid and using her claw she ripped it off and crawled in. She had to break through four filter and bust one emergency seal door.

'No doubt that at least one griffin knew something is up by now.' fluttershy though. But as she looked down through a small ventilation grid into the corridor below she noticed that while panic was omnipresent none was about the damage she had done on her way here. It was more about how the griffonian army was being torn apart by the equestrian new model and the arrival of miliardo piercedraft on the battlefield and is subsequent engagement with what fluttershy was sure to be kshatriya.

'not good, i looked at the recording of kshatriya's fight and she lack instinct, her fighting is more shock and awe than effective. Milliardo will be unfazed by it and read her like an open book.'

Worried fluttershy crawled in the vent until she found a room with only one person inside it was a guard in the regular armor of maintenance personnel with reinforced steel boot along a one piece maintenance uniform with camouflage pattern and two large black latex glove that reached the elbows and finally a full helmet to deal with un-healthy environment a luxury only griffonian empire high ranks engineers got. She luckily arrived just as he was finished receiving a report telling him that others maintenance personnels were still looking for what could have caused the venting problems. Using her claw she waited him to answer, say over and put down is radio to tear the vent apart and drop on him, she grabbed is head mid fall and her prosthetic limbs weight ensuring he couldn't help but buckle and follow her down she slammed the back of his head on the ground. She stood up and striped him of is uniform, it was a bit too large on the shoulder and too tight on the chest but after knowing the panic she had seen in the corridor on her way she doubted any would pay attention to her, the boot would hide her talon and as long as she didn't grab anything her claw wouldn't tear the glove apart. She exited the room and moved quickly but inconspicuously along the corridor using her Pegasus innate sense of direction to move slowly toward the command center she stopped too check vent from time to time in case someone was watching her through the cameras along the way. She soon peeked around a corner and saw a guarded heavy blast door.

'this is the place, i need a alternative entry point, if i try to force my way through the guards and they make a ruckus those inside will gun me down when i try to pass the door.'

She walked back where she came from and after searching a bit found the room just beneath the command center, it was a military quarters for eight, probably for the guards just above. Inside were two griffon, not armed and seemingly 'busy' with each others.

'must be griffonian nobles teenagers here to reap easy military achievement, the more experimented personnels probably let them do as they please so long they don't disturb their work.' she moved silently behind them, the female cursed under her breath seeing what she thought was a rather high ranked maintenance agent and pushed the male off before clothing while apologizing, she didn't take long to leave and fluttershy didn't even need to say anything. The male seemed pretty pissed at is fun ending before he could get it done but after cursing and making a few threat using some nobles family name left all the same, no doubt sure this engineer would be worried the rest of the week.

'moron like those are best left alive, at least among enemy ranks.' she locked the door and slowly piled up the chest at the foot of the beds into a platform so she could easily stuck her ear to the ceiling, she heard nothing at first but closing her eyes and focusing on her hearing, she made out sound then voice grew and finally word started making make sense.

Third person POV

Gilda slammed her fist on the armrest of the commander chair, "i don't give a damn about your safety protocol or that the reserve units we have are only borrowed, i am going out with my leo-R and the rest of the units to help milliardo!" she went to stand up but a hand pressed her shoulder down from behind, she turned to see a young griffon in black and silver uniform with a slightly off-center cap. He had a neutral almost bored look but the strength he applied on her shoulder was more than a bit painful.

"I was ordered to keep both you and your brothers away from each others, you are not leaving this seat." said the bored griffin while pulling is other hand out from is pocket and popping a date in his mouth.

Gilda gritted her teeth,"i don't care if you are one of blackbeack soldier-born i am not letting my brother and his knights die out there!"

His eyes widened a bit as if she had hit a nerve and he just looked down at the ground in thought.

Gilda harrumphed and stood up, she moved toward the door but stopped when she heard a hammer cocking. She turned around to see her crown appointed advisor, an old grey haired and sand skinned griffin with the badge of the emperor blessing on his vest, aiming at her from his hips with a handgun.

"Lady gilda, i have to ask you to sit back down this instant, the emperor was clear and you will obey."

She felt he entire body shake in rage, since her mother had been interned for mental sickness blackbeard had grown more and more overbearing but now even his lapdog were seeing her ,the rightful princess of the grifonnian queendom, has a doormat they could step on just by dropping this usurper name. She stood tall, years of watching her mother rule showing clearly to the griffin who tensed and whose eyes widened. Raising her voice high she spoke."i am gilda of the Piercedraft household, 'those who aim beyond mere mediocrity' and i command you to drop your weapon and-"

The ground in front of her suddenly turned red hot and melted down leaving behind large hole with red hot edges. Something jumped right into the room and in a swift gesture red flowers of blood bloomed all around the room. Gilda ran to the door to call the guards but something grabbed her right wrist. She turned around seeing someone in maintenance personnel cloths, she froze a moment but widened her eyes when she looed down and saw a metallic claw around her wrist."who are you?! *guh!!*." grunting from the knee that was shoved into her abdomen she felt her consciousness slip.

fluttershy POV

Fluttershy looked around her, she had waited to confirm her target position and even dared hope she would travel to the hangar at some point, it would have allowed her to intercept her on the way but when she had heard that someone was pointing a gun at her she was forced to act in a much less refined manner, she had used one of the simple one time use beam based implosion charge supplied by kshatriya and inspired from the technologie in her claws to melt a hole in the command center floor, then a few well timed throw of her pocket knifes got ride of the others griffin present, she then grabbed Gilda and knocked her out. Throwing her target on her left shoulder, she called in her radio."here is agent feral, the cake is ready for delivery, i repeat the cake is hot and rea-!?" fluttershy felt a shiver and dodged with a left side step, a knife went down just where she had just been without arming her she lashed out at the black clothed griffin with her right claw but he actually crouched below it with ease and stabbed right in her right elbow where there was no plating. The short blade stabbed from a precarious position hardly ruined her arm and a bending it she was able to snap the dagger in two. She slammed a talon on him, her legs blurring with the speed of her full force kick and despite the griffin last second cross guard she felt both of his arms break as she sent him crashing into the command center's doors just as the guard entered sending all of them down, the only door blocked and her only free arm damaged she took sunset explosive out and threw it at the wall its then that her right arm spasmed during the throw, sunset warning came back to her in a dread fueled flashback.

"This explosive use the elements fluttershy, since the tree they have grown more and more unstable and this bomb harness this, remember nightmare moon? The elements back then where barely powered and still burned all the alicorn level dark magic inside her, worse it erased it! This bomb harness that 'erasing' power to clear a circular shape on its path so place it slightly upward in case the effective range is greater than i theorized ok?"

Fluttershy palled to almost white seeing the device glued and biping faster and faster on one of the command center chair angled armrest, one of the spinning chair, once the chair stopped the bomb bip was just a long high pitched scream and went off. A rainbow exploded from the device and dug a long red hot melted path through the command center deck and outer hull all the way to the landship front, the ship had a perfectly straight trench dug into it who went from the commande center to the front if only slightly to the right. Not wasting time fluttershy rushed the new exit, among the griffin only the one in black reacted to her fleeing and in a show of unreal will grabbed one of the guard rifle and fired three burst, one missed the other hit two time on fluttershy armored leg and the last finally drew blood just as she exited the command center by walking on the melted hull.

With fluttershy out of sight and the only path blocked by molten steel the griffin frowned slightly."...bothersome."

_____________________________________________________________________
fluttershy POV

Fluttershy panted as she ran along the hull of the adrastea, her right shoulder blade hurt from the bullet that had found its mark, she could tell that the wound was not pretty from the fact her right arm wasn't responding at all anymore, thankfully, the enemy never though anyone would be crazy enough to climb atop their landship so the number of gun pointed at her was basically null.

As if to prove her wrong, a taurus appeared to her right, the unit forgo its weapon and reached with its massive hand.

"Trying to capture me? Don't be too greedy!"

She jumped at the hand easily passing between its finger despite her luggage. she landed feeling her blunted talon struggle to find a grip, the molten metal had not been kind to them. still she persevered and thankfully help was nearby. the head of the taurus behind her exploded into melted mess from a beam shot from the everfree forest. the cover fire was a godsend for fluttershy who heard and saw more taurus coming. now having more leeway she resumed her transmission.

"here agent feral, i have the VIP, i am badly wounded and largely incapacitated i need extraction!"

a spy on board 2

Third person POV

Celestia slammed both fist on the deck and stood up, "all units, the main objective is now almost complete, victory is within our reach and need only to be retrieved. Luna keep milliardo in check, rainbow, yours is the fastest unit we have go to feral resc-"

Twilight voice suddenly came in, "no need, I am already there!"

And indeed twilight was. As soon as the "elements bomb" had went off the twilight's exia who had been waiting on one of the reinforce catapult had rushed out and with both the catapult initial burst of speed and the exia force silhouette she was reaching the Adrastea at very high speed, the panic on the enemy ship slowed the reaction time of its defense and twilight was able to get rather close without being shot at.

But the adrastea gunner weren't blind and neither were the taurus pilots.

"Enemy screen attack, starting dodging maneuver!"twilight's teeth gritted as she executed high-G spin and strafing, doing her best to lose the least amount of speed possible, her focus was solely on fluttershy position but her mind was running at the speed of light as she noted, plotted all course and dodged each enemy attack through her screen and sensors alone.

Twilight was nervous but focused, this was one of the few things she did better than any of her friend, dash was precise and quick witted but had a tunneled vision, applejack could stay focused on her work for hours without feeling drained but lacked initiative and was a textbook pilot while rarity had a terrifying 'presence' and could surprise most opponents with her creativity but needed frequent rest. Pinkie was impossible to take by surprise and when serious a brutal fighter but she easily over-extended or over-committed running out of ammunition or option in mere moments, fluttershy could read others and despite the improbability of it all could sneak around enemies even aboard a MS and in a one on one fight was the doom of many aces, sadly against too many opponent and no effect of surprise she was quickly overwhelmed.

But twilight, she often got tunneled vision, she was very much a textbook pilot she didn't have a 'presence' that could make enemy doubt themselves, she didn't do well when confronted with the unexpected and could easily get pushed on her backfoot when against exceptional pilots. Indeed when it came to piloting twilight was at best a B+.

But right now none of the enemies shooting at her would agree as the exia seemed to fly through their defense screen, rounds and rocket utterly useless as if said projectiles where not even aimed at her, they simply were dodged as soon as they left there barrel or silo.

And under every griffin and ponies eyes the exia reached a taurus line through the hail of tungsten and explosive without a scratch. The turret stopped firing the range now to short and the likelihood of hitting a friendly taurus too high. Said taurus also dropped their rifles and drew their swords attempting to cut down this enemy that seemingly couldn't get shot. But just like before twilight and the exia seemed to never be where the taurus had striked. the taurus pilots were elites among the griffin only surpassed by aces and mobile armors pilot in their army and after one slash or stab realized too late, what the secret of twilight was as she stabbed at them with her arm mounted blade leaving behind almost intact carcass with their optic light flickering dead.
_________________________________________________________

Fluttershy POV

Fluttershy looked at the exia with a troubled face, 'such talent, yet she does not realize just how hard this 'trick' of her is to pull off.' she kept running closer to the exia as it battled waves of taurus leaving them to fall to the ground.

'they do not even explode, she stab the power source main line and the unit just shut down, as efficient as ever. To be able to predict all the enemy attack course from the very moment they become fixed.'

From the moment a bullets leave the barrel its course is set and she can read it, from the moment a weapon is swung its course is limited and predictable and she can evaluate not only the most likely path but also the minor change the enemy can do along the way using the speed it swung at and the room and posture and even the spec of the units. Of course all this require datas and the processing power to make head or tail of it all, and twilight was doing it, all the time in real time with everything. Sometime without even looking at her array of sensor and optic screen for more than a fraction of a second.

'as long as she has the data on their unit she can defeat all standard pilots. If she see an ace fight once she can escape him, she see him fight twice she can fight him to a standstill, and none dare face her a third time. Even the milliardo was never foolish enough to fight around her, but as always she is still used to excel, having to do things three time to get them done right is unacceptable to her.'

"B+ she say, what are 99% of pilots if she is a B+?"she panted out as tiredness started to set in, her talon where blunted and she struggled to find grip on the adrastea hull which was doing a number on her tights grafts while her ruined arm pulled on her wound drawing spurt of blood every time its dead weight dangled around. She needed twilight to secure the her and the VIP fast.

"You are not going anywhere, my order are to keep the princess either in the empire custody or kill her." she heard from behind her, she looked above her shoulder to see a custom leo coming at her from behind the adrastea command tower. It had a somewhat female design and while she could tell the speck where good the units had a hard time moving, she then realized who the voice belonged to, the griff who she had broken the arms off.

"Why are the empire soldiers so violent, do you enjoy killing so much that who you kill and why doesn't matter anymore?!"she let out while sliding away and beneath the leo's hand making a grab for her.

It seemed to recoil as if struck, and hesitated.

Fluttershy checked on twilight progress but sadly her friend had finally lost her initial burst of speed and still was a good 70 meter away from the adrastea, she also was now dealing with a good ten taurus that had formed a blockade and focused on defense keeping each other safe from twilight and stopping her from dealing more than superficial damage, she wouldn't be able to get close before she run out of stamina or blood, whichever came first.

Fluttershy thought. 'this is bad, twilight is unable to reach me before she get all the taurus or they will tear her apart on the way, wait... Her being unable to make it to me isn't a problem if i can make it to her. The taurus between us would then become a shield from the adrastea weapons while we retreat.' a plan so crazy and reckless hatched in fluttershy head, until it bloomed into raw intent and determination. Her eyes hardened. She changed direction and aimed her course for what was left of the middle front heavy caliber turrets of the adrastea.

This seemed to shake the young griff out of is inner thinking."i was ordered to keep the princess under empire custody, so this is what i am going to do." he finally said, more to himself than anything and rushing behind her.

But against all odds fluttershy pulled further and further away from him, her back alight with a slight pink hue. She jumped all the way atop the turret carried by an unseen wind and rushed along the middle barrel. She aimed at twilight and with perfect accuracy her right talon hooked the barrel tip and gave her all the grip she needed, with all her might she kicked herself forward under the eyes of every griff and twilight, then her back exploded in a flare of pink and two massive wing as longs as a MS is tall and as large as a MS is width sprouted from her back, made of pink fire that released amber of gold behind her. She flapped once and was flying above all MS, she flapped again and she had passed the taurus line she tried flapping a final time but her wings collapsed as if shredded by unseen blades as she fell to the ground, the taurus and custom leo tried to grab her but twilight reacted faster, she slashed all those who tried to stop her and extended her left hand, in the panic she didn't stop the custom leo from bumping her shoulder throwing her off course before himself reaching for her.

"Shy!"twilight voice carried deep worry for her friend wellbeing and fluttershy knew very well why as she felt her entire body scream in agony for her reckless use of pegasus magic. Through sheer willpower she stopped her body from seizing up. She then, in another feat of agility, used the custom leo's hand as a tremplin jumped again then she slided along its arm to finally jump at twilight's exia, putting gilda waist in a leg lock, she buried her sharp left claw deep into the exia chest as she crashed into it while tanking celestia to still have a working limbs with sharp enough claw to get a good grip.

"I got you!" she heard twilight said as the exia hand covered her and the VIP for safety.

"i-i don't feel so good twilight." she locked all her limbs in places and her consciousness faded.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3rd person POV

the entire battlefield stopped when the pink flare was seen, the shape of the exia rushing back to ponyville pursed by taurus and a custom leo being the thing to wake them all up. the equestrian ships immediately opened fire and a storm of shells obliterated the pursuing taurus, yet the custom leo was undeterred in its hunt. it dodged and endured the assault. Even when it reached the jegan's weapons ranges. the bullets shells and beam soon forced him to dodge more and more until the exia was gone from its sight and already back in ponyville.

rainbow in the wing gundam ordered a ceasefire seeing that aside of the custom leo all griffin units were down or gone.

the leo was in a poor state, unable to move or fight, the cockpit opened and out walked a black and silver dressed griff barely out of childhood. her raised two bloodied arms in surrender.

"I am captain iron bloom of the griffin empire royal security forces. I surrender along with the princess units."

on the end of this day the result was an utter and complete victory for the equestrian remnant army. the two royal born from the griffon queen first wedding and their personnel units seized along with an entire units of knights captured alongside their MS and an army worth of MS scrap.

the units who had went with fluttershy successfully returned with news of the adrastea being sent into a frenzy, with the the princess gone and all the commanding officer in the ruined command center dead the adrastea limped away with the remnant of its forces and most likely dreading the emperor furry.

but all this was pushed to the background because the princesses and most of the important personnel of equestria where gathered around a agonizing friends in reanimation. the one who made this operation not just a successful defense but a tremendous blow to the griffin empire.

and while many knew there was reason to rejoice few felt like doing so for all ponies knew just what using magic in this new era implied and while most have never experienced the effect of doing so with such intensity for themselves almost all have seen what was left of those who did and many to this day did their best to repress the terrible memories.

thanks a lot for that :pinkiehappy:

gundam rising (edited)

I was...numb, cold and numb like I had lost all feeling in my body, almost like I lacked one at all.

-Commencing scan of the frame...

What? Who is it? I feel warm, like I’m in a hot shower.

-All systems restored to optimal functionality.

Systems? I feel fine now, not numb, but just a bit groggy.

-Awakening of the Master Personality Unit.

My mind immediately became more clear. Like I had drank my first coffee of the day.

-Welcome back Kshatriya. You have been asleep for the last 23 years due to your unstable personality unit. I recommend that you slowly retrace your last memory.

'Oookay? I was at a convention, I met the merchant and they…. we made a deal?'

-Confirmation, you traded your identity and body for a multiversal transfer and a new existence. Can you remember your name?

'N-no? I… I think it was japanese but that’s all I can remember, I can remember my old school tests even the orphanage but the name is blurred. Why?!'

-You traded your old identity, now you are Kshatriya, personalized gundam created by your old you.

'Wait I’m Kshatriya? As not piloting it but literally I’ve BECOME it?!'

-Indeed, this unit does not dispose of a cockpit but of a computer in which your consciousness now resides in, I am your own personalized Half Control System, my name is HACKS it stands for Half Automated Control Kshatriya System, H.A.C.K.S. I am programmed to provide assistance in monitoring and operating a part of your equipment in your stead.

'C-can I still move by myself? And where are we right now? I can't see anything.'

-You, of course- have the total control of the frame Kshatriya but we are locked in teardrop shape right now, and you will need to disengage it first to move the limbs, I don't recommend it right now since your emotional state is unstable.

I took some time to calm myself, if I was still free to control my body then everything was fine, I was not hurt, I was not trapped as far as I know, and apparently never alone again.

'Ok, I think I'm better, where are we?'

-Presently, I believe we are on the dark side of the moon.

'...The moon? As in the satellite of earth?'

-Negative, it's indeed a satellite but I can confirm that the planet is not earth by the lack of communication frequency. Outside the nearest planet atmosphere. It’s proof of the native not having discovered space technologies yet.

'So the moon of a different planet? Are we trapped here?'

-Negative, the Kshatriya unit is capable of atmospheric entry thanks to its extensive equipments.

'Equipement, yes let's start with that, I know my gunpla like the back of my hand, at least my old hand but lets recap to be sure.

-Very well, Kshatriya.

-The basic frame is of course the NZ-666 Kshatriya of the zeon force, it was heavily modified but still kept an almost identical appearance though its size was multiplied by 1,5 placing it between a mobile suit and mobile armor. It can switch between mobile suit mod and teardrop shape. The teardrop shape being completely shielded between its four wings.

'And it's how I’m right now, well, at least I’m relatively safe from attack.'

-The frame was changed all the way it's very basic conception, the AMBAC is helped by the quadra wings equipped with vernier Thrusters powered by minovsky particles which offer high manoeuvrability in all situations. Each wing is also equipped with a retractable arm. The frame also as retractile Fin nozzle on the back coming from the XM-07 Vigna Ghina they are deployed from the back when the quadra wing are spread open in mobile suit mod, powered by minovsky particles to increase aerial manoeuvre and mobile suit battle's top speed.

'Like I wanted it to be, while I like to focus on defensive capabilities, speed will never betray you in a gundam battle.'

-the frame is equipped with a balancer to increase equilibrium on solid ground and magnet Coating which nullify the friction in the joints and increase limbs response by 20 to 30%. The Kshatriya also makes use of the Movable Frame technologie to reduce its overhaul weight and increase the movement ranges of its limbs. Finally the cheap gundarium alloy used for the armor was replaced with the almost impenetrable Gundanium Alloy, descendent of the gundarium alloy.

'Never understood the point of mass produced mobile suits, it's literally going to war with the intent to have your troops destroyed, the longer a unit stands in battle the more cost effective it is, basic.'

-However, the biggest change is its source of energy who was replaced by a set of 6 Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor, small ones at the roots of each wing, and two big ones in the chest, the place for the bigger ones was found by withdrawing the four mega cannon and the two machin cannon on the chest. They offer an endless energy production.

'The loss of a third of the mega cannon isn't that big of a loss, since..."'

-Warning, the energy need to be condensed by the e-cap to power most systems aside from the basic gundam control. This is generally a requirement to use the weapons and defenses system.

'Since the energy they would spend would be too big for my energy production. There's always a catch, nothing's perfect.'

-the Energy capacitor (E-CAP) is composed of two big models on the arms and four smaller ones for the wings. It stores the unused minovsky particles and condenses them into mega particles to power the more energy dependent systems who cannot function with basic minovsky particles.

'In short the less I move and use my équipements the faster I recharge.'

-Correct, The control systems were changed as well, now equipped with a Neo-Psycommu System. Which allows the gundam control via thought, vital to allow the control because the lack of cockpit and of course the pilot being disembodied. The control system also uses the Biosensor to simulate the pilot's strong emotional reaction by making the gundam ability affected by the pilot’s emotional state. Added to the biosensor is the Psycho-Frame, used to simulate the "survival instinct kicking in" by pushing the gundam beyond safety level and allowing overwhelming specs but damaging the gundam in the process

"Ah! Well that’s new! Hell yeah! I am almighty!"

-Warning! It Can cause fatal damage if in use for too long or too intensively.

'Eh?! Naaaww waaaayyy. So it's like adrenaline? It powers me up but also tires out my body and can even kill me when I overdose. Not good, got to pace myself and avoid a desperate situation.'

-Half Control System. A.k.a HACKS or me. I prevent the pilot from being overloaded by the Kshatriya extensive built in equipment and numerous limbs by allowing the pilot to automate some action like: nanomachine reparation or funnel remote control which we will talk about later when detailing the weapon and defense systems.

'Okay, got it, you’re my co-pilot and I got to wait for the good stuff.'

-Flash System: used to control the funnel. It also increase the pilot fighting capabilities while decreasing the pilot
Reaction time when not using the funnels.

'mmhmm.'

-Warning, Dangerous Equipment. The Zero system can be turned on and off . The zero system gives the pilot all the data perceived by the gundam reducing its reaction time to almost null and advises the course of action the pilot should take to accomplish its set objectifs efficiently. While less likely than with the zero system 2.0 and 2.5 the system can, if constantly used, rapidly become addictive and even make the pilot become slave to it when making decisions by changing the pilot perception of a possible course of action into the only course of action. As such the zero system use should be limited for particularly strong opponents to gain a VITAL edge in the fight.

'Drugs, it's totally drugs. And even if I was the one to add it, it's a lot less frightening when it’s not literally in you. I'm gonna stay as far away from it as I can.'

-I would advise so, Kshatriya. I also inform you that I am not affected by the zero system and can -in last resort- inform you of any ill effect it has on you if used.

'Totally, I don't intend to use it but that’s what I say when I am safe and calm and not about to die.'

-Acknowledged. May I pursue the Kshatriya loadout listing?

'sure hacks.'

-Very well, Miscellaneous Systems, Multi Lock-on System. The Multi Lock-On Weapons System enables the Kshatriya to lock on to several enemies at once and fire at them simultaneously its used mostly for the funnels and mega particle cannon.

'The Miscellaneous System before the Weapon and Defense Systems? You tease.'

-Invisible Umbrella Stealth System. It consumes minovsky particles when unmoving but the consumption goes up in movement and even switches to mega particles when using weapons or defense systems or going too fast. Funnels in use are not covered by the stealth system but can fire and move without increasing the upkeep cost.

'Eh? Maybe not that much of a tease, it's a pretty important element of my gunpla, with me invisible the enemy cannot ignore my funnels and focus on me, and I can do a surprise attack when they start focusing on the funnels.'

-Minovsky Drive. The wings outer layer of armor lifts to reveal a powerful thruster, with which the kshatriya can almost reach the speed of light. Warning it consumes an excruciating amount of mega particles and cannot be used outside teardrop shape without risk for the gundam. Warning the four Minovsky particle plasma flames formed by the wings can damage or downright destroy any ally nearby.

'Wait, it's here?! I did want it but I couldn't find any way to implement it. How?!'

-It’s actually an ability all Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactors can reproduce, The concept is to emit a vast amount of Minovsky particles as a propulsion reaction.

'So it's just pouring our particles out?'

-Confirmation, yes it is.

'....What a let down… Anyway, let's see the rest.'

-Very well. Weapon system. 10 funnels on the inside of each wings. The funnels are teardrop shaped and they need to return to the kshatriya to recharge from time to time, however, they need an almost null amount of mega particle to fire their ultra thin high penetration beam, they lack fire power but are highly effective for precision firing and can do a continuous beam though it can reveal their position. Warning, by increasing their mega particle consumption the pilot can use their higher functions.

Firstly: The Beam Barrier. They can produce a wall of hardened minovsky particles to trap opponents and protect the gundam in boxes of varying shapes. The second higher function is the beam shield that each funnel can form around them turning them into deadly and almost indestructible projectiles. Of course this reduces their autonomy and increases their recharge frequency. Which leads to the Gundam mega particles spending increasing as well.

'Aaahhh here they are, my Main Weapons, a whole fleet of 40 funnels with both offensive and defensive abilities. Aren't they perfect?'

-Acknowledged, they are highly efficient and versatile. The list of pilot’s and mobile suits able to resist them is scarce, only the list of those able to defeat them is shorter.

'You’re going to make me blush.'

-Correction, Kshatriya cannot blush.

'Just tell me the next weapon...'

-Beam gun mounted to the wrist. Higher power than the funnel beam but slower fire rate and no continuous beam. Eight mega particle cannons with overwhelming firepower, two on each wings tickest part.

'Ah! A classic from the Qubeley, simple yet effective. And of course the Kshatriya heavy hitter weapon.'

-6 Epyons Beam Sabers. One fixed at the tip of the wings arms and one inside each hip, the sword’s wide blade can be used for both offense and defense and while lacking the regular beam saber focused and highly cutting property the widespread plasma is capable of a lot more damage overall when it hits. Note that, by increasing the minovsky particle output the more focused beam saber cutting properties can be replicated while still keeping the wide blade’s benefits. Warning! When the Epyon Beam Saber aren't overcharged their less condensed form is unable to block more focused beam saber attacks if the gundam wielding it has enough strength to push it through.

'No worry there, by the time they pass through my blade they will be dead thanks to my secret close combat weapon.'

-Acknowledgement. Radiant Wave Surger: Concept stolen from code geass and mounted on both arms, the hand had to be changed to claw. Using the mega particle property of being kept under control only by a minovsky particle field. The hand can, on contact of other units, inject their system with a burst of minovsky highly condensed particle -a.k.a mega particle-

Which then try to decompress with explosive results. Resulting in the enemy unit overheating and seemingly exploding from the inside out.

'Brutality!!!'

-The use of Mega Particles made the Radiant Wave Surger necessity for ammunition null. The amount of Mega Particles injected is up to the pilot but if too little is used it will only damage the target while too much can create collateral damage if the target is close. Warning! The property of the Mega Particules prevents precise ranged use through the Radiant Wave Surger but can create a wave that disrupts those in its range of effect. The amount of mega particles needed for it to have any noticeable effect does not make it cost effective in drawn out battle. The wave proves to be ineffective as a viable defense mechanism due to it spreading the Mega Particles too thin. A side effect of the Mega Particule direct injection is the disruption of the target function preventing any ejection device from working.

'See? If it gets to the point I need to cross blades I just need to grab them and make them explode!'

-Correction. The probabilities of this ability being needed are too small to warrant the amount of pride you are expressing kshatriya.

'Oh come on! Can't you feel the Power?! The Passion?! This kind of thing is why I Love mechs! When you believe them to be fully long and middle ranged, they then reveal a short range ace! A hand of death that makes them flee and avoid you like the reaper itself!'

-.......Acknowledgement, Kshatriya.

'Urgh such a little reaction to my burning passion. J-just show me the rest.'

-Defenses system.

'oh! My main focus when I conceived this gunpla.'

-Acknowledgment, it shows. The I-Field Barrier of the turn A gundam. Ultimate protection against Heat, Beam, and Energy attacks. Warning! vulnerability to Missiles and solid projectiles. Large consumption of mega particles required. At full charge the kshatriya can keep the i-field barrier up for 1 hour all around it, this does not take the constant recharge provided by the 6 Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor, but still, short bursts of partial shield is recommended. Does not require the funnels to be used contrary to the beam barrier which leaves said funnels free for use.

'Of course it costs a lot, but it's part of the holy trinity I conceived.'

-Phase Shift Armor provide an impenetrable "Skin Tight Armor". It is very resilient against missiles and physical blows, but less against continued Beam assault because of the consumption of minovsky particle spiking tremendously when subjected to prolonged assault, if the phase shift armor consumes too much minovsky particles the gundam may partially shut down for a time and cause the master personality unit to "pass out".

'That's... Worrisome. Though, as long as I am careful it should be alright. This is the second part of the holy trinity. Combined with the I-Field Barrier I can block any and all attacks as long as I have enough energy. But the last one...'

-Nanomachine Regeneration System of the turn A gundam. Nano-Machines need time to regenerate the Gundam, recommended use is outside of combat because of the dysfunction created by the nanomachines working. Need ressource to repair but can convert materials if given time.

'The last piece of the holy trinity, the ability to heal over time. This way if the fact I was hard to bring down from the start wasn't enough... The difficulty to keep me down will be driving the point home.'

-Confirmation, the Kshatriya survivability capability is unmatched according to my data.

'Again with the data thing? What are you talking about?'

-Confirmation, I have access to the full content of the Gundam Universes Technologies and a small access to other Universe Technologies. My theory is that the more your old identity knew of a universe the more I have about said world technological data and the more accurate and extensive said data are.

'Nice. What else do you have?'

-I have mostly audio and video files but also an extensive book store. Would you like a complete listing?

'Euh? How long would the listing take?'

-Calculating.......73 days.

'Naaa waaayyyy.....nope no listing, we'll look into it later but do make sure the technological knowledge is safe and secure. As we don't want to lose it or have it stolen. '

-Acknowledged.

'Now do you think I'm calm enough to move?'

-Confirmation, I approve of your mental state for your maiden flight.

'Great, let's do this.'

-Unlocking all joints, switching mode to mobile suit.

I felt my shoulder, my six shoulder, move. Taking support on my hands to lift myself up, I instinctively used my wings thrusters to stabilize myself.

'It feels so natural.'

-It’s the balance function entering in action, I will also assist all your actions like I was designed too. If you want to stand upright I will adapt all the equipment to help you stand up, and that in the way you want it to. Moving is now for you as much an automatism as breathing once was.

"Eheheh AHAHAH AHAHAH." I just couldn't hold it in anymore, I planted my feet on the grey ground of the moon and laughed. My head held high into the endless space my hand spread open like I was holding the whole world in them.

"T-this is perfect! I can feel the power in every aspect of my body, the flow of the minovsky particle, the lack of resistance when I move my joints, the feeling of being perfectly in control. It's so intoxicating."

-You are speaking through the open canal. Might I convince you to return to the inner communication line?

'Oh sorry, so screaming means I talk to everyone in range?'

-Confirmation, yes, I can take over communication to prevent such incidents from happening again if you want me to Kshatriya.

'Do that, I don't think I'll have the mental fortitude to remember that at all times. In the meantime I will walk around a bit, get used to my new body and try to reach the side of the moon where we can see the planet in its orbit.'

-Acknowledged.

I slowly raised my foot and took my first step, just as I said it felt natural which actually made it weird, anyway, one small step for man one giant leap for mankind.

After a few hours I was easily moving in this new body of mine, I had fun making my hands do complete turns multiple times and getting my wings to move, I may or may not have activated the teardrop shape by accident and fallen like I was trapped into a barrel but I made sure H.A.C.K.S would never answer the question, and I certainly will not.

'Alright, I think I got the basic movement down, now the fun part, the use of thrusters and flight.'

I willed my body to fly and my thrusters lit up, my energy level didn't even move, I had H.A.C.K.S show me the hud of my Gundam, I even had a few small screens showing me my blind spot. From what hacks told me, my energy was recharging faster than my thruster was using it and it's why only the other system could run out of juice and even then only for a time. Of course doing nothing allowed the energy level to restore faster.

I was off the ground level and I propelled myself higher, it was magical. No gravity, complete freedom of movement by mere thought. Simply perfect.

-Kshatriya your emotional state is unstable are you alright?

'*sob*I-its beautiful.' I was upside down. The moon behind me and the endless space filled with stars was spreading in front of me. I extended my right arm like I would be able to touch them with the tip of my claw.

'So Beautiful...'

-....yes, it is.

We stayed silent for a long time simply drifting in space, our cores empty of thoughts.

The Battle of ponyville 1

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.

Author's Note

well her another one, sorry for the delay but wasn't home during halloween, me and my siblings got invited by family and i felt like i couldn't say no this time, (since i had already refused the last four time ...) anyway, to make up for it, this chapter is a bit longer and prepare the ground for a fast paced and action packed next chapter coming this sunday normally.

hope you enjoy it. ^^
