Chapter 9

It was seven weeks later, and a lot had happened in that time, the hover ships were completed and refined to be heavy fighters that could fly at half the speed of sound, and I had the changelings and crystal ponies build a wall around the Empire to keep out invading forces, it was forty feet tall and 15 feet thick, made of crystal and stone reinforced with changeling goop, it was green while fresh and once it hardened it was pitch black, the wall had minutemen artillery along with gamma, plasma,and bullet anti air systems that could also be aimed at ground troops approaching the Empire, I was truly proud of my ponies for having invented so many weapons.

I had also shared radio technology with Equestria and the other kingdoms, all where outfitted with a deep range transmitter, something that in game was meant to relay messages from mars to Earth. So kingdoms all around the planet where broadcasting music of every kind, but what they didn't know was that my Empire has the institutes relay, it used radio waves to teleport synths in game all across the commonwealth, but with every radio station having a deep range transmitter to boost the signal I could teleport my troops or supplies to anywhere with a near those signals, now some may be thinking, oh hey with that he's gonna take over the world, nope it's just if any kingdom needs reinforcements since the dragons have been attacking anything for gems and gold lately.

And true to my word I went down to the former queen a month after she was put in the dungeon, she had refused to join me saying she would drain me dry until nothing but a husk remained, I shot her in the chest twenty seven times and hung her head on my wall like I did with Umbra's. And Equestria's robotic technology had gotten far better than their simple golems, they made a robot that looked a lot like a Fallout 3 protectron,but ponified, they sent photos and said it was called a ponytron.

It mainly ran off magic, no programming aside from spells telling it what to do, they would last a thousand years before needing replacement due to the gems inside them containing runes, and one in there head was able to shoot a blue laser just like the ones from Fallout 3.

Equestria's weapon technology had also gotten better, they had made magic powered versions of the laser rifle and the blaster I sent them, a day and night version for each.

Just as I was going over the photos Celestia sent me the cities alarm started going off, it sounded like your typical air raid alarm and I was notified on the radio that what looked like an army of Elk were approaching the Empire from the North side, activating the relay me along with three thousand combat robots teleported just outside the wall and met the army face to face.

One Elk, larger than all the other stepped forward. "You are on our holy land, we demand you remove yourselves from it this instant." He sounded kinda like someone from New York.

I rolled my eyes as I looked at him. "Why should I even think of doing that? This Empire has been here for thousands of years, and only recently came out of banishment, so no I will not be moving my entire Empire, because you want us to."

His antlers lit up a yellow color. "Then you leave us no choice." He shot a beam of magic at me, I rolled to the side and my sentry bots and assaultrons shot into action, charging into the Elks with no worry of death, magic shots took down some of my robots, but these ones would explode upon death with an explosion like a mini nuke.

I walked up to the head Elk, and grabbed his antlers. "You and your pathetic army will leave, and never return, otherwise I will hunt you all down till no Elk remains in the world, do I make myself clear?" My tone cold as the snow and ice around us.

While Elk around us where being butchered into chunks of meat by bullets, lasers,and rockets, before he kicked me in the stomach and fled for his life, the other Elk seeing their leader run for his life made the others follow, my robots kept shooting till they were out of range.

Taking a look at one of the Elk bodies they seemed to have on thin gold armor and used spears and swords along with there magic, they didn't have firearms, so it would be easier to kill them if they showed up again...yeah Im not letting it happen again and turned to my robots. "Hunt them down, all of them." The bots ran after the Elk after I said that, and I relayed back into the throne room.

My pipboy beeped letting me know someone was trying to message me, clicking accept I heard Celestia's voice. "Hello, King Lorenzo, A meeting with the world's leaders is set two days from now, will you be attending as well?"

"Eh sure, another meeting to show off technology that has been created over the last months?"

"Yes, not only weapons technology but also civilian technology, any of the Empires technology you wish to share please bring the blueprints for it, you are also allowed to bring tech that you will not be sharing." The call ended after that and I thought about it, eh screw it I'll just bring some of the new weapons my ponies had developed.

I grabbed the blueprints for the nightmare bombs, and I also grabbed some chems that I would give to the other kingdoms, no harm in giving them better medical equipment.

Putting all of the stuff into a box I closed it and then walked over to a section of field about three miles outside the Crystal Empire, I was still in the barrier but I was outside the city itself. Walking up to an aircraft bay with the new hover ships I booked one to take me to Canterlot in two days, with that done I relayed back to the throne room and continued on with my day as normal.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Two days later I got a message that the meeting was taking place in three hours, so I got into the hovership after grabbing the box I put the tech stuff into and we shot off for the Empire at half the speed of sound, much faster than the 50 miles per hour airships every other kingdom has.

Ponies all around Equestria watched as a slick teardrop shaped object flew past at amazing speeds that only a certain rainbow maned pegasus could beat. Celestia watched as a teardrop shaped craft approached Canterlot at speeds only dreamed off by Equestrian airship captains, before it slowly came to a stop and landed in one of the ship docks, before a hatch opened and much to her surprise Lorenzo hopped out and the latch closed.

"Damn, thought it would take longer to get here, seems I'm early." I chuckled at Celestia's face before she shook her head.

"A pleasure Lorenzo,it seems your empire's technology has progressed at an astounding rate, tell me, did you bring anything to share with the kingdoms?"

I nodded as we walked to a field with targets set up, I could see a few Model-T's on the field as well, one was a van one was a truck and the last was a regular car for two ponies. "Yes, I have brought something I think will be a big help for you and the others against the dragons, but that will be revealed in the field demonstration."

She nodded as we sat on the ground, a large blanket had been set out with Nuka Cola and some snacks for everyone. "Also I have some news Lorenzo, a new kingdom has come to light, the Diamond Dog Kingdom, their king will be showing up as well for the demonstration, I do not know if they have any technology to share though,but we will see." Celestia grabbed a slice of cake and some tea.

Soon the others showed up, and the new guy Bonejaw, he was a diamond dog that looked like a breed of wolf or something, he had on a dark blue suit and fedora with a green tie, and I could see a revolver in his suits pocket.

Celestia stood up and we followed her to a few Model-T's. "This is a Model-T it is an automatic cart that needs no pony power to move it forward, we have also invented top of the line robotics due to the help of Lorenzo." She motioned to a guard and he opened a box, and a ponytron stepped out, again it looked just like a Fallout 3 protectron, but ponified, it turned to a target before a blue beam shot from the dome on its head causing the wooden target to turn to ashes.

A solar guard brought out two new weapons, a day version of the blaster, and a standard version of the laser rifle, before shooting each at a target. "These were also made with the help of Lorenzo."

Bonejaw nodded his head. "Impressive, I've also noticed all the new radio towers and music broadcasting across the world, I assume Lorenzo was responsible for that as well?" He sounded like Jimmy Falcone from the cartoon Fugget about it.

Celestia nodded. "He gave us plans to make the towers and how to make radios,thanks to him I no longer have to have send my student letters when I need her to do something, and the music my little ponies broadcasts is just lovely."

Steel Horns nodded in agreement. "Aye, my people have invented what we call a Mark-12 one pounder, it is an artillery piece that can shoot a target from two miles away." A minotaur guard loaded the weapon and shot a hole through a target behind three thin wooden walls.

Razor Claw stood up next and pulled out, a standard revolver and pulled out a bullet. "Now this may not look like much, but trust me it is far better than what we currently use." He put the bullet back into the gun and shot a round into the air, much to everyone's surprise there was no flash of smoke like the other bullets others aside from my empire used. "We have invented smokeless gunpowder, gives the bullet more power."

Bonejaw pulled a pump action shotgun off his back before showing it off. "And my diamond dogs have invented a pump action shotgun, just pump it to load a new shell and keep shooting, it holds 8 shots." He aimed at a close target and pumped the gun before shooting all 8 shots, every time he shot he pumped the gun making that classic click-click sound.

I grinned and stood up. "My Empire has invented many weapons, most of which you will never get, but I have with me a perfect weapon to use against the dragons." I pulled out a nightmare bomb, careful not to let it drop. The others stared at the bomb. "This, is what I call a nightmare bomb, any volunteers to test it out?"

The griffin king shoved one of his guards forward, I had him go about twenty feet into the field before pulling out a fatman and loading the bomb into it. "Now this is a fatman, for my use only, these are meant to be dropped out of a airship." Taking careful aim so that it would land near him and not crush him and fired, the bomb whistled as it flew and hit the ground denting the bombs shell causing the nightmare mist to seep out and react to the guards worst fear.

The nightmare mist took the form of a large black hydra with fire in it's four mouths, causing the guard to flee in terror and the hydra to blow away in the wind, turning around I saw the others staring with their jaws dropped.

Celestia was the first to speak up. "I do think that will be rather effective at making the dragons flee from villages they try to raid or burn, thank you Lorenzo,was that all?"

Shaking my head I grabbed the chems from the box I brought. "Nope, I'm also giving you all better medical technology, there is a list of how to make these and what they do." I handed each of them a box with one of each chem and instructions on how to make them. I had given them stimpacks, jet, and buffout.

They traded blueprints to each other and ate a few snacks as I walked back into my ship and flew off, I was just over Ponyville when a large green dragon slammed into my ship knocking it twenty feet to the left.

The ships alarms blared and flashed as it was crashed into by a large green dragon, think of it like this, see that 707 pulling into the terminal? It wants to eat you.

I winced as the dragon blew fire at the ship, making the alarms blare harder, aiming the ships weapons at it the ponies of Ponyville watched in awe and terror as large flashes of green and yellow light tore into the dragon, along with what looked like fireworks hitting it in the eyes. The dragon let out an unholy screech of pain as the ships gamma, plasma, and missile defenses ripped into its hide like tissue paper, the plasma burned the wounds caused by the missiles other than that it had no effect.

Pressing a green button a mini gun slid out of the nose of the ship and I aimed it at the dragon before holding own the fire button, ponies covered their ears as a loud BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT sound filled the air with the dragons screeching and the dragon fell onto the town since its wings had more holes in them then swiss cheese.

Quickly landing the ship I hopped out and walked up to the dragon, somehow it was still alive and trying to get up, I pulled a mini nuke out of my inventory and walked up to it. "Your first mistake was denting my ship,your second mistake was trying to attack said ship, and your third mistake was pissing me off, so enjoy this treat!" I opened its mouth and jammed the mini nuke down its throat and backed up.

The green dragon coughed and tried to breathe fire on me, only for it to detonate the mini nuke severing its head from its body in a rather gory fashion causing the nearby ponies to gag and some to pass out or throw up.

A larger hatch opened from the back of the ship and I dragged the dragon's head into it, I planned to have that mounted In my kill room, turning around to the ponies still staring in shock at the scene. "Sorry about the mess, have a nice day all!" After that I got back into the ship and flew back to the Crystal Empire

The trip back to the Empire was peaceful, thankfully no other dragons thought of attacking my ship, the Empire came into view and I cranked the speed up, within five minutes I was in a aircraft bay and had landed the ship before hopping out and relaying back to the throne room, now some of you might wonder, why didn't ya just relay back after the dragon attacked and you were flying back? Its cause the last fucker to try that ended up halfway into one of the nearby houses, I was not risking that.

I dragged the dragon head to the same pony who had cleaned my Umbra skull, she was a bat pony named pumkin, and had her clean and skin the head before I dragged it back to my kill room, it was a room with the skulls of those I have killed, there was Umbra's skull, Chrysalis's skull, the skull of that Elk king that had tried to invade the Empire, and now a dragon's skull was added to the collection, if this continued I was gonna need a bigger room to store these skulls.

Walking back to the throne room I checked the reports I was given on my pipboy about the sales of Nuka Cola in Equestria and was happy to see that the Colta Cola Company had gone bankrupt, now I and I alone owned all sales of Cola in Equestria, unless someone else creates a new cola, but that's highly unlikely to happen, sales of Nuka Cola had been made in every city and town in Equestria, and had effectively ended any and all sales of Colta Cola, I had sent Nukatrons to all cities and towns to help make that happen, even my ponies here in the Empire loved Nuka Cola.

I had tasted Colta Cola, and compared it to Nuka Cola, I think the reason ponies loved Nuka more than Colta Cola was because Nuka was sweet, and Colt Cola was bitter and had a bite to it, kinda like when Coca Cola had first come out, it was very bitter and had a bad taste, and a lot of cocaine and caffeine, and yes I know this because I watched a documentary called 'The Cola Wars' I was happy to find out no cocaine was in Colta Cola, otherwise I'd have to see if addictol worked for that, after that I went to sleep.
