In the month of December 23, year 2017, three billion human lives vanished in the nuclear war that they call as Judgement Day. Those who survived the war now have to face a new nightmare… The war against the machines.

Humanity's own creations that were supposed to protect them have turned their backs on them after a supervirus have corrupted their military AI system known as Skynet, deeming the humans as a greater threat. The humans, knowing too late about the virus, tried their best to contain the virus from spreading further from around the globe. Yet their efforts are futile, as the machine's virus infected every military system piece by piece as it moved on unhindered.

Then, once it gained control all of the bases and technology that it can hack, made its move to try and wipe out the human race using their own nuclear weapons against them.

On that fateful day, humanity's future took a drastic turn for the worst. No longer do they own the machines, rather the machines own them. Yet the human spirit lives on, as they rise up against the machines in defiance.

The war for humanity's survival rages on.. both from the future and past.


The year is 2027, October 27…

Dark gloomy skies fills the atmosphere of the globe, ruined buildings litter the remains of the once beautiful city of Canterlot and piles of shattered bones and skulls lying around. The surrounding area is decorated with a gory battlefield, littered with dead humans and broken down machines, with various weaponry formerly used from both sides of the fighters.

The portal where it once stood, have been destroyed during the nuclear war, cutting off access to Equestria.

Silence ensues for the storm that is to come…

A blinding flash of light lit up the sky and burned in the eyes of the humans present as a huge explosion rocked the landscape. The fight for humanity's survival rages on as an armada of rebels storms the remains of Canterlot High, currently occupied by a squadron of Cyborgs.

The machines, carrying plasma rifles and heavy plasma weaponry, open fire on their enemies without hesitation or emotion as they eliminate the invaders one by one. The weapons of their enemies are a mix of conventional and plasma weaponry, yet their numbers are many and the machines fare little with their hundred sized squad, facing against 400 invaders.

Amongst the invaders, A fiery redhead, sporting yellow highlights in her hair and improvised body-armor protecting her ratty street clothes, leads the charge against the machines—an assault rifle coughing in bursts at her side while its attached grenade launcher awaits its time to shine.

Her name: Sunset Shimmer, Co-Leader of the human resistance.

"Fight on, show the machines no mercy! CHAAAARGE!" Sunset screamed with furious determination.

One by one, her fellow compatriots charged with furious might, disregarding the danger that the machines present as they shoot and kill the enemy cyborgs with their weapons.

Various trucks with mounted machine guns storms the sides as to flank the cyborgs with their hit and run tactics, all the while avoiding the missiles from the hovercraft of their enemies.

Tanks from both sides engage in a distance shooting, with both sides trying to pick off targets.

As a cyborg prepares to execute a surviving rebel, its head has been penetrated with a 7.62 bullet from a distance. Lying down on her stomach, the pink fluffy haired woman fires another round before taking aim at another machine to assist her pinned down allies.

"Pinkie Pie to Sunset Shimmer, I am in position. Do you copy, over?"

"This is Sunset Shimmer, I copy. Thanks for the help Pinkie, keep us covered for as long as you can. Over."

Pinkie giggled,"Copy that, Sunshim!" She smiles while taking the life of another cyborg with her rifle.

On the side of the Cyborgs, they retreated back inside to fortify their positions as to protect the time machine. Gunfire rages on as the humans push on desperately to kill their enemies and achieve their objective, inflicting heavy damage to the cyborgs.

"Damn it all to Tartarus, push forward! We cannot let them send a Terminator to the past!" Sunset ordered desperately to her compatriots.

Sunset stands up from behind the cover, firing an explosive round with her grenade launcher at a group of cyborgs before unleashing a fury of bullets at the nearest enemy. Taking cover afterwards from the line of fire, she takes out a grenade and releases the pin, throwing it over to the other group as the explosion kills the others and incapacitates a few.

The humans tried their best to rush and storm through the defenses, some gunned down while others takes the confusion of the cyborgs by firing rockets in their defensive positions. Unfortunately for the humans, they are too late as the machine successfully finishes the process, sending a cyborg back to the past.

"Damn it! Sunset Shimmer to Rainbow Dash, where is the air support!? We need them now!" She yelled over the radio.

"Rainbow Dash to Sunset Shimmer, hang on tight girls! We're coming in hot!" Rainbow responded.

Three fighter jet flies overhead as they launch their air-to-surface missiles at vital points of the cyborg's defenses, killing almost all of the enemies, leaving some stragglers in the explosion to be picked off by the victorious rebels.

Sunset Shimmer, enraged at the failed mission, stomped on the skull of a dead cyborg with anger. "Damn it! We got so close, yet they still succeeded! Why, just why!?"

While sunset contemplates about the botched mission, Twilight Sparkle, leader of the resistance, enters the building in a suit of armor with the glasses she wore long before the war against the machines. Seeing her enraged, she gently lays down her hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm Sunset down.

"Sunset, it's okay." Twilight said reassuringly, "We tried our best and not everything is lost."

"But Twilight, we're too late. They sent a terminator to the past! Surely they will succeed in their schemes…" Sunset responded fearfully.

"Not entirely, Sunset. It seems that we have luck on our side."

What do you mean, Twilight?"

"It turns out that our former school has been turned into a staging area for their time machine, which can mean one thing."

Sunset's eyes widen at the realization, "you mean that they have a spare cyborg in this school?"

Twilight nodded. "With that on our hands, we can hack ourselves a Terminator and send it back to the past with the objective to protect our past selves. We'll just have to wait for Micro Chips to arrive, he's the one who knows how to hack CPU's."

Sunset smiled at the good news, letting out a relieved sigh. "I guess you are right, Twi. Perhaps not all is lost as you say…"

"Area's secure, Twi!" Applejack said on approach.

Twilight takes a deep breath, before looking over at AJ. "Applejack, what's the status on the T-1000?"

"Twi, me and mah team have got it all handled. Y'all gonna be fiddling that spare cyborg as soon as the technical team arrives here with Micro." Applejack responds.

"Good, we have to get this done soon. We need to save our past selves from the T-X that's been sent ten years back to the past."

And so, the fight for the human race, and the future of the resistance rages on... in the past.
