Twilight was recovering her energy while Celestia sat beside her with a warm smile. Celestia sighed “Once this is over I would like to train with you. To get myself back up to where I was before.”

Twilight growled “What are you saying mum, you almost died just a day ago?! Why would you put yourself in such danger again, let the guards handle it or let me!”

Celestia snapped “You don’t get it my daughter, there are certain beings that only my raw power can face but I roved that if I can’t draw on my full power in a pinch then it will be all for naught! I need to protect the nation that my sister and I have built!”

Twilight blinked “Wait you have a sister, I have an Aunt?”

Celestia grimaced “I should not have said that, I really should not have said that.” She then took a deep breath “Twilight, I have some secrets I prefer to keep so please don’t tell anyone about this. One day I will tell you everything.”

Twilight smiled “I understand mum, for now I have to go and rescue Casino Glory from the Mechas.” Her systems beeped revealing that her energy had been fully restored, she set in the coordinates for Casino Glory and beamed out the room.

She arrived on the ruined streets of Casino Glory, it had been hit the hardest. Ruined buildings were everywhere, that was not what shocked Twilight the most. What did was the bodies scattered throughout the streets, a man was impaled on a spike while a a three year old girl was hanging off the ruined side of a building by her intestines.

The head of a baby was laying right next to her as the mother and father were torn in two their insides having fallen on the streets. Twilight continued to walk through the dead her anger and fury building as she headed forward towards the a group of Mechas, her fury only grew as she saw a man decapitated, a woman gutted and three children laying in various pieces on the ground.

She snarled as her armour darkened as the purple trails returned to her eyes, a dark blade appeared in her hand. She into the group of IFOS, Long Shots, Mechas tearing them to shreds with a flurry of blades. She looked at the remains of the Mechas, she clicked her fingers creating four animal like machines. One fox, one bear, one bunny and a chicken.

Four souls shot out of the four children behind them into the newly formed Mechas, Twilight blinked for a second as the Mechas ran forward before following them. The group of five tore through the corpse filled streets, Mechas feel to cannon blasts, jaws, and the fox’s hook.

It is not long before they find a Mecha carrying tons of bombs, Twilight shoots one of the bombs and that bomb set off all the other bombs leaving the boss Mecha in shards the bomb shard flying into her cannon. Twilight then turned to the Mechas with her, they nod with smiles. Twilight nodded as the souls flew out of the Mechas, she scrapped the Mechas afterwards.

Celestia frowned as Twilight returned with a grave expression “I’m afraid we were too late, there was not a soul left alive.”

Celestia wrapped her wings around her “Are you alright Twilight?”

Twilightbegan to cry “There were children, they were killed mercilessly. Why would anyone wish such a thing?” Celestia shook her head as she held her daughter, unsure of how to comfort her after this.

Meanwhile Winter Stradream was angry “The Wonderbolts took out my strike force on Cloudy Skies and a single Mecha girl has dismantled most of my efforts. I need to call back my forces from Mirestorm to prepare for evacuation.”

Two hours later in Canterlot Twilight was prepared to go out again, Celestia smiled “You have done well Twilight. There is just Appleloosa and Gravelton left, Gravelton would be hard to take because the Earth Ponies there are tough. I suggest Appleloosa first.”

Twilight smiled “I’ll head there right away.”

Twilight beamed to Appleloosa, she fought her way through the same types of Mechas in other areas. She was just about engage another group when a herd of Buffaloes roared “Charge!” They ploughed through them with relative ease, several people were running behind them shooting IFOS out of the skies with their revolvers.

Twilight soon found herself facing a Dark Cloud looking Mecha. She fired several cannon shots at it, only for it to dodge them and fire bolts of lightning “I am Dark Cloudy, and I will bring your end!”

Twilight dodged most of them but then a single bolt struck her, she let out a scream as her systems came up with multiple warnings. The last thing she saw before darkness overtook her was a flash of teal light, as it turns out Sunset was standing over Twilight. Dark Cloudy growled “How are you here?! Even if the assault on Mirestorm stopped, you couldn’t possibly know she was in trouble!”

Sunset rolled her eyes “Both of our systems are set up to receive each other transmissions or rather all Mecha built by the same person are more else connected. Now they are usually separated by purpose but since there is only two of us built for the same purpose it means little.”

Dark Cloudy struck Sunset with several lightning bolts only for her to shrug at the cloud Mecha “Unlike Twilight my circuitry is hardened, something I developed for myself because Celestia doesn’t harden her Mecha’s circuitry apparently.” Then before another word was spoken a huge ball of fire obliterated Dark Cloudy.

Sunset then teleported herself and Twilight back to Canterlot, Celestia growled “What did you do to her?!”

Sunset frowned “Always thinking the worst of me aren’t you Celestia? I saved her life because you are so bad at making Mechas that you don’t harden out circuitry, one tiny jolt of any form of electricity and we’re in bad shape. I will help you fix her systems, hopefully there isn’t too much damage.” Celestia solemnly looked at Twilight, hating the fact this was her fault.

Author's Note

Celestia isn't very good at making Mechas.
