Zero Signal

Celestia and Luna flashed into the throne room of the castle. Celestia called for the maids to bring them tea as Luna spoke.

"Sister, what did she mean by peace through extinction?" She said while sitting on her throne.

"It, dear sister. That being is no longer Chrysalis." She paused before saying mournfully, "At least not anymore."

Celestia sat in her throne when Luna questioned, "What do you mean by that, sister?".

Celestia closed her eyes, seeming to be in deep in thought before opening her eyes, with sorrow in her voice and tears almost forming she said, "I looked in her eyes, I could tell that she was in immense pain, like she was trapped in that metal casing." She sighed before saying, "My only regret is that we couldn't get through to her earlier and possibly have a friend, but I believe we have no choice but to put down what she has become."

What the sisters failed to notice was two red dots appearing on their foreheads. Some of the guards noticed this and tackled the sisters off their thrones as two loud cracks filled the air.

The sisters quickly got up and teleported their armor onto them. They looked around the room for threats, as did the guards.

They looked around in silence for a minute when several loud cracks sounded out and all of the guards fell down, each clearly dead with holes through their heads.

A two-legged machine suddenly faded into existence on the ceiling. It's upper body whirled to face them and a mechanical screech sounded out as it fell down and stood on the ground.

The machine raised a cylindrical arm which started to rotate as a hum slowly rose in pitch.

The arm suddenly started to fire hundreds of projectiles a minute as the machine aimed at the sisters.

They quickly split up and dodged the projectiles which were making a mess of the walls.

"Sister, what do we do?" Luna yelled out as she dodged the projectiles.

"Flank it!" Celestia said while running behind the machine.

They ran to the machine's back, thinking they were safe for a short time. But that time was cut quick as the machine suddenly rotated it's upper body to face them.

Two boxes with four holes raised out of the machine's head. Their eyes widened as missiles shot out of the boxes and quickly zoomed towards both of them.

They teleported to the other side of the room. But with a loud warble, more boxes raised out of the machine and more missiles were fired at the sisters.

The next few minutes consisted of the sisters teleporting around the room as the missiles turned the room into rubble.

"Sister, we have to stop it lest the entire castle fall on top of us!" Celestia cried out as she teleported another barrage of missiles.

"I think I have an idea sister!" Luna yelled out.

Luna stopped teleporting and waited for another barrage.

"Luna, what are you doing!" Celestia cried out.

"Trust me!" Luna said as another barrage came towards her.

She focused as the missiles flew nearer, determined, she lit up her horn to prepare to teleport when suddenly both she and Celestia teleported away from the castle.

A modified changeling guard, now known by their product name of Spectre, walked up to the administrator's throne.

"Phantom 34-R failed to terminated the Royal Sisters." the Spectre stated with a metallic voice.

"Expected" came the short reply from the being on the throne. There were no lights in throne room, the only light coming from the beings eyes which glowed hellish red.

"Order the Phantom to hold it's position by any means necessary"

The Spectre guard nodded and walked off as the throne suddenly rotated around to a large screen.

The screen was showing an image of a room filled with massive titans of metal, each coming to a height of 20 feet, they were all lined in neat rows.

The machine king voiced out on the P.A system, "Execute Protocol Titanfall."

He chuckled as the titans ocular systems glowed red and started marching offscreen.

"Phase 2 complete." the machine king whispered to himself.
