Canterlot castle/throne room

Simon, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash came rushing into the throne room, in the throne room princes Celestia and Luna were patiently waiting for them to come. "Ah Simon thank goodness your here. we received word that Manehattan had just been attacked by giants and we need you to stop them." commanded Celestia This made Twilight feel uneasy because the fact that there are more mobile suits are attacking Equestria is scary, "princess how many are their" asked Twilight

"Around fifty giants, and possibly more." answered Luna. There were only five mobile suits when Ponyville was attacked, now fifty mobile suits are attacking Manehattan this could mean that their either taking over the city or preparing for war or both. "has the city been evacuated?" Simon asked

"Most of the ponies are out of the city but the others are hiding in the buildings." said princess Celestia. Without another word Simon walked straight to the royal gardens where Gundam Astaroth is.

Canterlot castle/royal garden

Simon is in the garden climbing on Astaroth to get in the cockpit so he can go to Manehattan and save all those ponies. "Wait your going in alone, that's suicide!" yelled Rainbow Dash. Simon looked back to see the rainbow Pegasus, she looked worried yet determined to go with him. "I'm not going in alone you're. coming with me." said Simon

Rainbow Dash was so excited she really wanted to go with him and fight giants but Twilight says "Absolutely not." Rainbow Dash just looks at Twilight, this made Rainbow upset she really wanted to do this. "But why?" Rainbow asks

"Because I don't want you to get hurt again. I know you want to go in that mobile suit and fight the grazes but you might get hurt or worse. Besides you don't know how to pilot that thing." stated Twilight. Rainbow Dash wasn't having it but she has a plan. "Alright Twi I won't go in Barbatos" said Rainbow

"Hey! If I survive will you buy me a beer?" Simon asked Rainbow Dash. Simon heard the whole conversation and she knows how stubborn Twilight is after hanging out with for a few hours. Rainbow Dash looked up at Simon who just opened the cockpit and yelled "yeah but drinks are on Applejack!"

"Ok then! see you in a few hours!" yelled Simon. Simon took of his hoodie and threw it on the floor, this reviled the spine which had two pointed bones poking out of his spine with skin around them. He went inside the cockpit and piece of machinery clicked on to his spine, this put him in pain but it didn't last. He then gets all the mobile suits data fed through his brain making him more efficient in battle. Then at last the chest of Astaroth closes.

"Oh almost forgot where's Manehattan!?" Simon asked

"just head west, you'll know it when you see it!" yelled Twilight and with that the Gundam started to fly west.

Manehattan

Upon seeing Manehattan for the first time Simon thought it look beautiful, Simon has never been to Manhattan before but this city looks almost exactly like it. Simon also saw graze mobile suits in the air, there were around eight circling the city and the rest were on the ground.

One of the graze mobile suits that was circling the city spotted Astaroth "Unknown mobile suit. You are in a restricted area turn around or-" before the pilot could finish his sentence several bullets from the Astaroths rifle crippled the mobile suit and it crashed landed into one of the buildings. The seven that were still airborne were no match for the Astaroth, Simon equipped the Gundams demolition knife and well demolished the graze mobile suits.

All the airborne mobile suits are down so Simon has to take down all of the ones that were on Manehattan. Gundam Astaroth flew straight down to the city. The buildings were a lot taller than the mobile suits in the area but the city was beautiful none the less. Simon spotted five more mobile suits, he needed to be faster to get an advantage because princess Luna said their were at least fifty graze mobile suits in Manehattan.

"DEMON!" one of the soldiers yelled.

"Gjalarhorn soldiers surrender now and your lives will be spared." Simon told them

"Why should we? We have to take this city for our survival." said one of the graze pilot

"If what you say is true then resolve this peacefully." commanded Simon

"We don't take orders from you DEMON!"

The graze pilots started firing their rifles at the Gundam. Simon had to be fast and take them out quickly as possible, He between the buildings and he appeared on the other side of the battle field. Simon Beheaded one of the mobile suits and kicked it on to the ground; he then fired his rifle on the other two grazes and he finished them of with his demolition knife. fortunately the last two grazes retreated like cowards, they are probably regrouping with the others so Simon followed them.

Manehattan/Central park

The rest of there team are in central park, there are at least forty mobile suits in central park. There are fifteen mobile workers and a hundred ground troopers some of them have prisoners, this would add up to one hundred and fifty five soldiers at least. This would be impossible for Simon to take down a whole army but he has to try. He would also have to be careful because the prisoners will be in immediate danger as soon as he attacks.

The Gundam rushes toward central park by using it's boosters and starts shooting at the graze mobile suits. Simon takes out a few of them with his rifle before running out of ammo, that was his fault for not bringing any spare ammunition. The mobile suits started attacking the Gundam with their axes but the Gundam used its demolition knife and started chopping then graze mobile suits. The grazes got sliced on the head, hips, some have been sliced through the chest and the mobile workers got stomped on.

There was still so many soldiers. Some of the grazes fired their rifles and got loads of hits on the Gundam. However this didn't stop Astoroth in it's destructive path. "Men retreat let our commander handle him!" shouted one of the pilots. Rest of the graze mobile suits went back into space and some of the soldiers went into a ship and went back into space but they left some of their men to stay with the prisoners.

This was all too easy Gjalarhorn almost never retreats unless they have lost too many soldiers. "So you are the Gundam pilot" said a mysterious voice Simon turned around and he saw a red graze with a fin on its head, for some reason it looked so familiar. "Who are you?" Simon asked

"I am Char Aznable. The Red comet." answered Char "You will surrender now or face death"

"Sorry but I rather wait til I'm old enough to face him" joked Simon

"Ha I like your humour but I think your old enough to face death." Stated Char. With that Char Aznable with a speed that is three times faster than any normal graze started attacking Simon with two axes, The axes made a slash across Astaroth's chest this also gave a head injury to Simon. Simon tried to fight back but he was too slow for the graze, he didn't even scratch it once. Simon charged towards the Red comet but it dodged.

"Is this all you got, I expected better." Said Char. Simon knew he was right, he is too slow. Simon decided to get more data fed to his brain to improve his combat efficiency, this also caused him to get a nosebleed. The Astaroth now with improved combat flew up into the air along with the red comet, Their battle now takes place in the skies of Manehattan. The two mobile suits duke it out with high speeds that rival Rainbow dash, from a pony's point of view it would look like two stars dancing in the sky but from Simon's point of view it was a battle of life and death. The Astaroth struggled to defend itself from the impossible speeds of the red mobile suit but Char is enjoying this it gives him nostalgia from his previous life.

Canterlot castle/throne room

Rainbow Dash, Twilight sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie have been watching the battle in the throne room along with princess Celestia and Luna who have been using their magic to see whats happening in Manehattan. Seeing the Gundam do battle like that makes them want to help Simon, he is loosing the battle. he may look like he is holding his own but if the red mobile suit keeps fighting him with these speeds Simon Rodgers will lose. "Twilight I just can't sit around and watch him get beaten to a pulp. You have to let me fight!" cried Rainbow Dash

"I'm sorry Dashie but I can't let you you'll get hurt." proclaimed Twilight

"Princess Celestia let me fight please." begged Rainbow

"I have to agree with Twilight. it's too dangerous." said Celestia

"Come on guys if this was king Sombra you'll go straight to Manehattan and kick his ass!" protested Rainbow.

"Sorry Rainbow but we have to stay here and watch the fight, whether you like it or not." said Twilight

This just proves Rainbow Dashes theory all alicorns are useless. She knows it's terrible thing to say but shes right. princess Celestia and Luna never help with world ending events ever. So after some thinking Rainbow decides to either A: be a good pony and do what the princesses say and get on with our lives. Or B: fuck it. "... ... Oh fuck it!" she whispered to herself

With that she ran straight outside without thinking of a plan even thought she thought she had one. "Rainbow where in the hay are you going?!" hollered Applejack

"TO BARBATOS!!!" shouted Rainbow Dash

"who in the hay is Bar-ba-dos?" Applejack asked herself

Twilight was just about to go after

Rainbow ran as fast as she could to get to the mobile suit, she bumped into so many ponies along the way but she didn't care. This almost feels like destiny to her even though she has never piloted a mobile suit before, she can learn though. as she was nearing the mobile suit a dark blue flash appeared and Luna was there. "Luna I know why you are here but you are not stopping me." said Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Dash I mus escort you back to the castle Twilight is worried about you" Proclaimed Luna

"I don't give a shit!" yelled Rainbow. "I have to do this Luna. If Celestia was out their getting beat up what would you do?" asked Rainbow

"I would assist my sister...oh *sigh* I understand now Rainbow Dash. I really sounded like a hypocrite i'm sorry, but please if possible come back in one piece" sighed Luna

"I promise" said Rainbow Dash. Luna then lifted Rainbow Dash up to the cockpit using her magic. "Thanks princess!" yelled Dash

"You're welcome!" Shouted Luna.

As the cockpit opened the inside looked slightly different The handle bars are more in a shape of a hoof and the pedals are a bit shorter so Rainbow could reach them. Rainbow got in the cockpit, sat down and the suddenly she felt sharp pain coming from her spine. She screamed in silent because she did not want Luna to take her out of Barbatos, then as all that pain stopped something attached to the back of her spine where the pain was. "OW SHIT!!" screamed Rainbow Dash.

Then all of the data from the mobile suit starting feeding into her brain this includes combat, calamity war and Pilots. For some reason the mobile suit has triggered memories of Mikazuki Augus, there seems to be a connection between him and Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow are you okay in there?" asked Luna

"I'm fine"said Rainbow Dash. Barbatos flew away towards Manehattan with Rainbow inside. "Twilghts gonna kill me" Luna said to herself. after that Luna headed back to the castle where Twilight may or may not kill her.

Manehattan/skies

The red comet is winning the battle, with the speed that's three times faster than any other mobile suit, disappeared. "huh... where did he go?" Simon asked himself. Then out of no where the red graze appeared right in front of him and kicked Astaroth, inside the Gundam Simon puked his guts out because that kick was so powerful. The Gundam then crashed on the side of the empire state building, The red comet zoomed over to the Gundam and used it's axe to chop it's arm of and threw him back to the ground. "You know I didn't know you would last this long. You were pretty good at defending yourself but still this battle has to end with your death." Stated Char. The Astaroth now has a left arm but he was determined to get back up, however he can't he's struggling to get back up and fight back.

Just as the red graze was about to attack Barbatos joined the fight. The devil of Tekkadan was right in front of Simon facing the red graze, Barbatos blocked the red comet's attack with it's sword mace and punched it in the chest. Char was shocked, he only heard stories of the devil but never saw it in person. 'Never the less it's still the enemy' Char thought.

Inside Barbatos there was Rainbow Dash with the most emotionless looking face ever and has a nose bleed. "Barbatos old friend this is the enemy, it's destroying Equestria. Barbatos i release your chains, give me all you got." Rainbow said to her self in a calm voice.

I have a feeling people are going to hate me for this.
