Twilight was walking along side Celestia through the grand halls, she had lived in these halls all her life. The guards were wearing high-tech armour and weapons that was under an illusion to appear like medieval weaponry, they nodded to her as the pair moved through the halls.

It was then a sudden set of explosions tore through the castle as countless Metal Heads, Long Shots and IFOS began assaulting the castle. The guards began drawing their laser blades and firearms, Celesta growled to a few guards “Get Twilight to the Emergency Safe Room!”

Twilight watched as a Mecha carrying a long curved blade leapt down only for Celestia to block it with a blade made of light. Twilight was taken away rapidly as the fighting grew more intense with the guards fighting as more enemies carrying blades joined the battle against the Guards.

The guards escorted her to a strange room taking out any stragglers that got past the front lines, they frowned “This is a safe room. Even Princess Celestia herself can’t break into this room with her full power. You will be safe here.”

The two guards left, Twilight blinked in awe as the whole place lit up. It was small lab like room with machines all over it, two suits of armour one purple and orange with the purple one far more advanced than the orange. She approached the purple armour only for an AI image of Celestia to appear with a sigh “You aren’t ready or this.”

Twilight blinked in confusion “How are you speaking to me?”

The AI Celestia smiled “I was made as an imprint of her true self should the worst befall the real me so that you would have someone to guide you.” It then shook it’s head “You are too young to face a threat like this, it will pass in time.”

Twilight growled “How do you know that?! There are Mechas, what if the real you can’t stop them! Who will be left to lead the nation, I will not stand idly by while my mother fights out there!”

The AI Celestia smiled sadly “You think of me as mother, than why haven’t you every said anything to the real me about it.”

Twilight slumped “Because it would cause so much drama and… I’m scared. Scared that she’ll reject me, that she will send me away because she can’t love a machine.”

The AI Celestia smiled “She thinks of you as the daughter she never had. Just let in her in, take the initiative.” The AI Celestia then frowned at the purple metallic gear on the table “Put your hand on it and save your mother.” Twilight did as she was asked and the purple armour shrunk covered her entire body as one of her hands transformed into a long cylinder.

Twilight blinked in confusion “What happened to my arm?”

The AI Celestia explained “That is your blaster cannon, it is powerful enough to tear through most Mechas in a single shot but some tougher ones will take multiple shots. There is also a charge function that fires a more powerful shot, it also has an adaptive weapons system that will give you unique weapons. However it can only store so many at a time. It’s simple to sue just think of the weapon and shoot.”

Twilight nodded “Well I need to go and save my mum.”

The AI Celestia simply smiled “I’ll beam you out of the room.” Before Twilight could response she was shot up in a beam of light and landed outside the lab.

Twilight blinked in confusion as heard a voice “Combat basic initialising, jump to dodge attacks and fire you blaster to destroy your enemies.” Twilight mumbled something about some of those at Celestia’s school playing weird games on TVs. Two Metal Hats came around the corner, she fired her cannon at them only for them to hide under their metal helmets protecting them from damage before standing up and firing back three bullets forward.

Twilight jumped over the bullets as she closed the distance before flipping them over and then obliterating them with her cannon. She ran around the corner only to see more Metal Hats alongside some Longshots, she charged up her cannon and with a single shot obliterated them.

She ran through obliterating Metal Hats, Long Shots and the enemies with blades that her systems identified through their system information as Honour Blades. She leapt over a destroyed Honour Blade using it’s sword to cut a Metal Hat in half , she then kicked the pieces of the metal head into a Long Shot before firing a cannon shot obliterating the Long Shot. Twilight burst into the room where Celestia was broken Long Shots, Metal Hats and Honour Blades laid amongst corpses of Royal Guards as those who not yet succumbed fought around them.

A slowly tiring Celestia was fighting the curved blade wielding Mecha who had drawn a second sword. Twilight bolted through the carnage tearing through any of the attacking Mechas that were unfortunate enough to get in her way, the Young Mecha eyes widened as she heard Celestia scream out in pain as the sword wielding Mecha impaled the Princess with his curved blade.

The blade wielding Mecha frowned “It seems even you are not capable of giving me a decent challenge. It’s time for your end as the Mecha revolution begins.”

Before he could swing a blast knocked the sword from his hand sending flying away from Celestia. Twilight growled eyes glowing with fury “I’m going to tear you to shreds rust bucket!”

The Mecha bowed “ I am Blade, a liber…” Twilight appeared in flash before his eyes punching him away before surrounding him with ten massive balls of fire that struck him. He summoned his sword to him, he growled “You think I will lose that easily! I will end you for that!”

Twilight’s eyes narrowed to slits as purple trails flowed out of her eyes her armour turning black “You tried to murder my mother! I will destroy you!” Black crystals formed out of the air as she spoke deeply “Die.” The Crystal tore into him, his armour was no match for the dark crystals and he exploded in a flash of light leaving behind a chip that flew into Twilight’s cannon arm.

All the other Mechas collapsed as they no longer received the command single from their leader. Celestia pulled the sword out of her body and the wound healed rapidly, Twilight eyes returned to normal as her suit changed to the normal purple shade, the last words she heard before she lost conciousness was from her suit “Blade Mode unlocked, Dark Mode added.” Celestia picked up her student and frowned unsure of what to do.

Author's Note

Now one thing, and this will take more influence later but Humans in this story are more accepting to violence than the Ponies and less merciful. That will show in future chapters.
