"Greetings commander it seems you have finally come online." I heard a mechanical female voice say.

'What? Where am I why can't I see!' I screamed or at least tried to.

"You are a commander AI that has been placed in the Centurion chassis." The voice drawled.

Then It snapped I recognize that voice, that's the voice from the galactic war cutscene when you start a new one. Where am I and how did I get here. I remember buying something from that merchant then I can't remember anything. Why am I not worrying? Shouldn't I be freaking out right now why am I so calm? Something isn't right I guess I'll ask not like there's anyone else here.

'Hey where are we and why can't I see?' I thought to the AI.

"We are currently warping to a planet and will be there in two minutes. As for why you cannot see, this is because seeing warp would likely ruin your cameras. If you would like I can put up a picture of a field." The AI offered.

"Ok now may I ask wy were going to that planet and what I am? because I feel blockier.' I asked trying to move with little success.

"We are going to the planet 'Equis' as I have detected signals that could be from a commander. As for what you are, you are a Centurion commander unit of the Legonis Mechana. " I felt the capsule I was in give a jerk after she said that.

Oh, boy that it either this is a dream or I'm a commander. Jesus Christ how am I supposed to feel about this I was practically just told I'm not a human anymore. Well, Sence I can't really feel too many emotions I guess I'll deal with it, and if this is a dream this is gonna be one hell of a good time.

"We have arrived, You will do fine. You may begin annihilation when you are ready. Do you have any more questions?" The AI asked as a screen in front of me went red with the words 'BEGIN ANNIHILATION' flashing on it.

"Is it possible for me to join a different faction?" I asked the AI.

"It is possible would you like to change your faction?" The AI brought up a screen with a Y/N on it.

"Yes I would" When I said that the Y flashed and a new screen popped up.

On the screen in front of me, multiple bars showed up they read. 'Faction 1 Legonis Machina' 'Faction 2 The Foundation' 'Faction 3 The Synchronous' 'Faction 4 The Revenants' 'Faction 5 The Legion ' 'Faction 6 Ignitus'

"Wait what the last one?" I asked the AI never hearing of that faction before.

"The faction Ignitus is a new faction in the galaxy. Thier leader is a rogue commander from the Legion, a small faction but extremely effective as they have no blueprints and have their commanders make their own units."The AI explained.

"Ok that sounds interesting I'll go with that one." I said already thinking of plans for various units and buildings.

"Very well you now belong to the faction Ignitus good luck commander," The AI said before I felt the pod I was in drop.

The screen Infront of me lit up and I saw the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The planet was a rich green with vast oceans of the deepest blue. You could see the moutans and forests from orbit and it was stunning. I watched as the pod continued to descend rapidly in a matter of seconds it smashed through the clouds and was plummeting into a large dark forest. That's when I noticed two things one the pod wasn't slowing. Two I realized just how big the commanders are I was the size of the larger trees!

Then with a massive boom, the pod landed in a copse of trees that were all instantly incinerated in a 1000-foot radius. I looked around and realized. I was now a 38-foot tall planet destroying machine of death, what the hell am I supposed to do here. I guess the gameplan is gonna be keep hidden for as long as possible, expand quickly and quietly, and gather as much information as possible.

Now time to get down to business I look for the bit of my HUD that lets me construct things, but I only see an empty bar where it looks like things should go and a white box with a 'C' on it. I'm not sure what to do but I imagine clicking on the box and I feel as my mind shifts to be in a 3D environment. I hear the AI voice again and she says.

"Greetings commander now your probably confused as to what just happened. Let me explain since you are in the Ignitus faction none of the other blueprints are available. So, commander, you will need to construct your own factories and generators. In this screen, you will have everything you need to construct whatever you need. I will suggest making a bot factory first. As you will need it to make construction bots. Or alternatively, you could make an ore extractor first as it would make gaining material easier."

I thought about it for a second and decided like the logical man I am to make both. I began to design the metal extractor first. I made a square base with three poles sticking out of it. Two in the top right and left corners, and one in between the bottom left and right corners. Inbetween the top two posts I put a conveyor belt that leads to a storage core. On the middle pole, I put a small spinning drill that was angled so everything would fall onto the conveyor.

With that done I then designed the bot factory. Wich was a large shed-like structure with a conveyor belt that pushed whatever was inside of it outside where it could move. It was only about a fourth of my size but I wasn't gonna try to build a Titan in it or something. Actually, wait on the not talking to myself subject of titans.

"Hey, uuhhh Unnamed AI lady you there?" I called out loud.

"Yes, I am here commander." She responded in my head.

"First thing do you have a name?" I asked the AI.

"No, but many humans called me Siri." She responded.

I paused mentally laughing my ass off. "W... wait hehe your name... is Siri," I said through the laughs.

She sighed "Yes my name is Siri as in the old bitchy phone thing haha."

"I'm sorry, the second question will I eventually be able to make a titan?" I asked hoping I could.

"Yes, commander once you have the materials you will be able to design and build a titan." She said still sounding somewhat grumpy.

"Ok, thank's... hehe... Siri." I said still cracking up a little at her name.

I left the screen and got to work still chuckling to myself. I walked around reclaiming bushes and trees for a while until I had enough resources to construct the extractor. I made my way towards a metal deposit and began to build the extractor. I was surprised how quickly the thing was constructed considering how big it is and how the nano lathe builds. I also found out I could speed up my perception of time so that was nice. Once it was done I had a slow but steady income of metal.

I made my way over to the bot factory I made and begun to create a basic attack bot. I decided I wanted my robots to look somewhat organic and to make them resemble animals. First I added the body the front portion of which was on a joint, so it could use it has a head to look around easier. On its 'head' I placed four forward-facing cameras so it could see and it had redundancy. I moved on to the legs placing the eight of them where I assumed they would be on a scorpion. At the end of each of the legs, there was a retractable spike that would let it climb. It could also use it for traction if it was being pushed. On the front of the scorpion slightly in front of the forward most pair of legs and just behind the head, I placed the claws. Now the claws had three capabilities sniping things in half, grappling, and they all had a taser in them to subdue things. The tail was the easiest part as I simply made the usual scorpion tail but instead of a stinger, it had a laser.

Closing the screen I queued up four of the scorpion bots as I was just going to call them. While I was waiting for them to complete I wandered around and began to clear more trees and place metal extractors. The bot factory isn't very fast so by the time It was done. I had cleared out another 50 ft of forest and placed 4 new metal extractors. When the scorpion bots were done I had them stand in the nonexistent corners of the base.

I had just stationed the scorpion bots when two of them picked up movement in the bushes. I was surprised to see wooden wolves walk out growling at the scorpion. Then it hit me, I only knew of one place where there were wooden wolves. That merchant guy sent me to Equestria as a giant PLANET DESTROYING ROBOT. I feel like I'm gonna have the elements used on me if I'm there in the timeline. Sheeeettt. The now identified Timberwolves began to move in standing in front of the scorpion bot. I felt bad for the poor dogs. One of the wolves charged forwards at the scorpion bot. It responded in turn by grabbing it with its claws and cutting it in half. The others seeing this all charged it at the same time. The bot fired its lasers at the comparatively tiny wolves. Disintegrating one of them, the scorpion bot dis something the wolves didn't expect. It jumped, the springs in its legs wound up building up enough tension to break a boulder five times its size with ease. When they finished it launched its self into the air above the treeline. The wolves skidded to a stop below it looking up this was as they realized, their final mistake as a ton and a half of machine came crashing down right on top of them.

The Timberwolves were pulverized underneath the weight of the scorpion bot. I was watching all of this in minor amusement. I ordered the bot to sweep the remains into a pile so I could burn them. I didn't know how the nanolathe would react to the magic and I didn't want to find out the hard way. After the battle, I decided that a scout bot would be good to get the lay of the land. Because there was no way the ponies hadn't noticed the giant thing fall from the sky or the explosion.

I opened up the creation screen and got started on the bot. I figured I would do something like a cheeta although it would also probably resemble the bladewolf from metal gear. I began with the torso just like last time. I gave t a rather generic cheeta like torso, although I did make the rear slightly larger for more powerful legs. I then moved on to the head which I made long and cone-like. On the front of its face, I placed two forward-facing cameras. On the top of its head, I placed two ear-like structures that while detecting audio also worked as antenna allowing it to boost signal range. I gave it two front legs that had many powerful joints. Witch if the simulations are correct help it maneuver better at high speeds. I gave it very large back legs. The servos, hydraulics, and springs in the back legs were as powerful as mine. Overall I made sure it was very very flexible.

Closing the screen I cued up one of them and helped construct it. When the scout stepped out I switched my view to its cameras and told it to run towards basing from where I can see mount canterhorn, Ponyville was. I watched from its perspective as it raced off through the forest. If it was a living creature it would have been able to see where it was moving as the trees were a blur. It also would have tripped on tree roots many times if it wasn't made out of titanium. Apparently, I was correct in my assumption as to where Ponyville was. I watched as the scout came to a stop its razor-sharp claws making trenches in the dirt.

The bot stopped an there it was the town of Ponyville. It was even more brightly colored than the show depicted. Like to the point I turned down the color receptors on the scout's camera so it didn't overload. The town was even bigger than the show would have you believe. Then I saw it in the distance the giant crystal tree castle. I personally thought that was very cool and a very good target if things with the ponies go pear shaped. The scout sees a group of 7 ponies approaching the forest. I can only make out one thing and that is that one of them has a rainbow mane. Realising this is probably the main six I command the scout to return to the base. I exit the scout's view and open the designer. I need a way to hid my intimidating troops, And I need something to build it.

I start off with a round body and add a slightly larger hollow container that looks like a spiders abdomen. I then place a retractable nanolathe inside of it. I then add eight small legs around its body. I give it two large dome cameras for eyes. I also give it a small mouth like protrusion that is actually a taser. Closing the screen I mentally queue up ten of the construction bots giving them all orders to help the bot factory. With the bots helping build themselves faster it only took a couple of minutes to build the ten of them. Once they were all done I ordered them to dig a hole into the ground. Once they dug the hole I had them build a shed identical to the bot factory on top of it. With that done I told the other bots to go into the hole along with all but two of the construction bots and one scorpion bot that would climb a tree and hide unless it was needed.

Then I waited for a solid three hours it only took the cheetah bot fifteen minutes to get back and into the hole. My ability to speed up my perception of time helped. After three hours my scorpion bot detected movement, and I saw a group of seven small pastel colored ponies approaching. I stood there and watched as they entered the clearing. Once they entered their conversation stopped. So did they once Twilight spotted me or at least my foot which was as tall as she was.

Twilight and her friends were on their way to the place a meteorite fell deep in the Everfree earlier in the day. It was a long three hour walk where not much had happened. In fact, the only notable thing that happened is they ran into the manticore that Fluttershy helped all those years ago. It thanked her and told them where the meteorite had landed. They began walking in the direction that the manticore had indicated. They had been walking for two hours and hadn't found anything. They were beginning to doubt that they would find it.

"Hey Twi," Rainbow Dash said, "Are you sure we're still heading in the right direction?"

Twilight sighed. "Yes, rainbow I'm using a compass spell. We are currently heading in the same direction that we have been for the last couple hours." She told her tomboyish friend.

"W-what if its A-a- aliens." A small yellow pegisus squeaked.

"There ain't no such thing as aliens Fluttershy. I think you've been spending to much time around Spike, Big Mackintosh, an' Discord." Applejack said to her shy friend who hid behind her mane and squeaked something.

"Oh oh oh oh ooooh! I know! I know! What if it's like a really really big robot from space who has been sent here to kill another really big robot that Isn't actually here but was just its sensor picking up the magic coming off of the planet and mistaking it for signals or something and it helps us win the war and then we all live happily ever after!" Pinkie pie the crazy one of the group somehow managed to say all of this with one breath and in one sentence.

They would have continued talking but they entered a large clearing that definitely wasn't there before. Twilight was wondering what had made the clearing when she saw something bing and metal right in front of her. She looked up to see what it was, And looked up, and up, and up. Infront of her Infront of her was a machine but not any machine no, this machine was easily 30 foot tall.

I looked down at the obviously terrified ponies. I took a step back witch only seemed to scare them more once they saw my spider like companions. I didn't know what I was supposed to do in this situation so I did the first thing that came to mind.

"Hullo," I said cheerfully.

This, however, didn't have the intended result and just caused the ponies to run away screaming. I knew this wasn't going to end well but I also know that if I chased them it would make it worse. So I simply called out the rest of my bots and told the scorpion bot to get out of the tree. I stood in front of them and thought one thing. 'Well, I should probably make some defenses now.'

Author's Note

Weewwww three thousand words bitch!

This is my first story that is actually planned in how it will go. Right now I have this chapter and half of the next one done. Overall I have 3 chapters (not including the prologue or this one) planned out.

So here we are a displaced story with a war and giant robot. What could go wrong?

Hope you all liked it. Also please tell me if I portrayed the mane six correctly. Ok, Bye Bye.

Hugs and kisses
