I made a deal with deathView OnlineI have awaken...I made a deal with deathDeath is welcoming, life is painful and a sad tale but death? Is warm like a hand coming to you to make sure your alright, but death had plans for my fate. You see I had died from being run over by a large ass bus when I pushed a little girl out of the way what happen next was my boy was ripped apart. I can still feel the pain even now as my arms and legs were crushed from my body like chicken bones when some guy breaks the bones for the hell of it. I guess you can say I died a hero? Never wanted to be one quote green goblin, 'But the one thing they love than a hero is to see a hero fall/fail/die trying," Glad I never got to see the newlines 'Local Hero was really a BRONY!' Guess death was really looking out for me, but it gave me a chance of something new, it spoke with his bone handed. 'In flesh does a hero fail but in steel does a hero stand,' weird as it was I somehow understood what it said. So we formed a pact, one where I return not a living man but a being of death. My body felt numb but slowly the feeling of a body returned, though this new form was different from my birth body it was more powerful than before. Death had granted me a new 'life' as a dreadnought you know one of those titans from 40k? But a unique one that I couldn't name but one that was my new body. I watched as my vision turned green as if I was a terminator (skynet) as words formed before me, /Praise the omnissiah/ /Unit online/ /Began systems check/ /Life support online/ /Praise the omnissiah/ /Servo support units online 1-20/ /Praise the omnissiah/ /mechadendrite unit online/ /Forge system online/ /Weapon check/ /Power Ax ready/ /Conversion beamer- 100%/ /assault cannon- fully load- bolt rounds- 100,000/ /Missile Launcher- fully load- missiles- 200/ /Heavy flamer- 100%, promethium tank full/ /Praise the omnissiah/ /Powering limbs 1%, 17%, 29%, 43%, 78%, 99%, 100%/ For what felt like the first time I felt my hands return as I squeeze the rocks under my fists as I smiled, pulling myself up I got on my feet for what felt like the first time. I couldn't help but smile behind my metal face, at the though of me being like a little child taking its first steps in its life, but for me this was my first steps in my (un)life. I then looked down at my hands see the blood red metal arms that held the symbol of the blood ravens upon them I grinned once more as then began a system diagnostics. My armor began to shift at the thought of brain as plates of armor moved and shifted before returning back to there original plates, then my weapons from my back to my arms to and then my Ax came to my hand. Well it was more of a Haldernberg axe to match to my towering size of a dreadnaught, the power of the blade alone was something that could easily cut though powerarmor like butter but that was when it wasn't powered. Looking in the cave I was in I saw a large stone rock and got a idea to test the blade when it wasn't power and I pulled the blade back and gave a powerful swing. Slowly the rock slide from the cut till it hit the floor like something from a anime, a more than prefect cut that did more than bring a smile to my face. Placing the ax on the ground I looked at my body and worked on my new form even more as I anything I though came to reality. If I wanted a servo skull that rested on my back to come online it did without question or if I wanted to scan the cave I was in my scanner did what it was told. "I see you have taken well to your new body well," I turned to voice I knew all to well, death itself. It held the form of a large cloak that floated in the air that was small compared to my large titan from but I knew it held the power to take my new from without a second thought. "My lord," I spoke kneeling down to the shadow of life. "What is it that you wish from me," The darkness chuckled. "You know what I wish from you my boy," I knew what he ment. "I just came to see if you were taking to your new form well," I looked up from my kneeling form. "It like riding a bike my lord," Death floated over to me as I saw the shadow of a skeleton. "Good and you know my task I gave to you?" He asked and I nodded. "Reap the souls of guity even if they are the princesses themsleves," I spoke. "Good good...I glad you understand my champion, this cave I placed you in holds what you need to start a foot hold boy don't disappoint me," With that the reaper vanished into the dark. Getting up from my kneeling from I commanded my skulls to get to work on construction of my outpost as I smiled behind my helm as they drilled into the solid rock. You see I had made a deal with my master death, death cannot reap the living for it was against the truce that life and death held. I held a list of those who must pay there due to death... Discord Stygain The pillars Blue blood Tirek Cozy glow And more For reasons that death did tell me why they were on it's list but I new death well and it always had a reason why it target them, if they cheated death or acts of sin so great that the ghost rider will have thrown up. This was way I was here... This was way I was death's dreadnought. Author's Note "A dreadnaught fic? What are you thinking connor?" ... Piss off it came to me. in this... Also if you know what type of dreadnought that is I would like to know
Home sweet homeView OnlineI have awaken...Home sweet home(two weeks later) The chase was on. A pony ran for dear life as the ground around him shook as something large took a step that gave a small earthquake but the pony pressed on. The pony went by the name of money bags ran though the ever free forest as something chased him, he tripped and his expensive tux was stained by the green grass when he rolled down the hill and into the muddy water. Quickly breaking to the surface he inhaled but was then grabbed by the neck by a large hand that lifted him from the muddy water. Money bags kicked as he tried to scream at the threat but only gave a crocked scream like a frog. He was lifted off the ground a good four feet as he was brought eye level what he could describe as a red ironed golem that killed his hired men that were sent to quickly kill a rival. When he waited for the report in the meeting spot his carriage was hit by the bodies of his hired assassins, he quickly exited the toppled transport to see his guards where killed as well then he saw it. The golem that was before him a large ax covered in blood of his men and now was holding by the neck as he tried to break free. Then it spoke in a soulless voice that caused him to piss himself. "Money bangs of ponyville your sins are innumerable I have come to reap vengeance upon your soul," "W-w-w-wait please lets not get hasty here you want money? Girls? Anything you want and its yours!" He was then brought closer to the giant's green emerald eyes. "Talk," "Yeah I can get you girls any kinds ponies, dragons, or-" He was then squeezed by the neck. "Where are they?" "My lot's barn under the-" Then fell the body of money bags...as his head was in the hands of the titan. "Thank you," Its been two weeks since I have arrived at Equis, I have done mutilate names on the list I was given by death and today another one had been crossed out. Along with the freedom of sex slaves that were going to be sent to the caribou empire a target that too was on my list of targets...when I mean list I meant, the king Dainn his sex priests and much more. But I didn't have the supplies to do such a move on my part I had just began and my base wasn't even completely done, the main room still wasn't covered and still held the cave ceiling. I also had gathered a few allies in my pact with death, by a few I mean one. A dragonness by the name of sliver dust, I had saved her from being ganged raped one of my targets her injuries were too great if I left her to meet my master. Along with that this worlds medical technology was weak comparied to the Adeptus mechincanus, I had to replace her right wing since it was ripped apart from its socket, bring her here was a choice I had to do if I wanted to treat her right...and when we first meet, boy it wasn't a good one. (FLASHBACK! YEAH!) The dragon awoke with a white hot pain on her back causing her to scream in pain as she flung around her claws going at the air around her. She screamed thinking she was with those who tried to rape her but she was unaware of the steel giant in the room that grabbed her arms. "CALM DOWN," She didn't as she screamed thinking it was the griffins. But the giant held more strength that the griffins and his hand's were much colder. Sliver began to claim down as she looked up to see something that surprised her, a large rust red metal Golem. Confused and in pain she didn't know what to say but the golem let her go as he grabbed her shoulder and gently moved her to see behind her. "How do you feel?" It asked. Sliver hissed still in pain. "Like some asshole placed a white hot iron on my back," She said but what surprised her is what the golem. "Forgive me I had to stop the bleeding with promethium," This confused her as she looked to her wing and what she saw made her scream. Her wing was now metal. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME!" She attacked the iron Golem but strange floating skulls grabbed her hands and held her back. The iron golem now held a large ass ax before speaking. "Saved your life of course but your wing? I'm sorry there was nothing I could do but lucky that replacement will be a much more improved in flight performance," The iron giant spoke. "Look on the bright side your body will tire out in half the time in flight," Sliver began to clam down as the skulls let her go as she rubbed her wrists. "Sorry its just...*sigh* who the hell are you anyways?" For the first time the iron giant was wordless before speaking a single word. "I am Saniel of the blood ravens," And so began the birth of a long friendship between the dragon and dreadnaught. Sliver looked up from her work station (who was a tech priest in training) as she lifted the pair of goggles from her blue eyes. "Oh hey boss your back and- Whoa you got him," She pointed to Money bag's head. I nodded. "Of course," She turned back to her station working on a damaged tool. "So what this one say 'PLEASE I HAVE A FAMILY DON'T KILL ME!' or 'YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT JUST DON'T KILL ME!' She chuckled at her mocking the previous names from death's list. "Second one," I placed the head on a servo station as the robotic hands began to rip away at the flesh and tissue turning it into a servo skull. Sliver kicked off her desk in her rolling chair to another station as she check something. "Alright who next boss," She asked as I pulled out the list from my chest plate and unfolded the piece of parchment looking at the long list of names. I grabbed a feather and quill and crossed out money bags name and looked at the list in thought. "UNIT ONLINE" I turned to see the newest servo skull of money bags as it left the station and floated over to the rest of the skulls that worked on the cave walks. Placing the parchment down I sighed as I sat down on the large chair that I made for my dreadnought body, My ax in one hand my other hand on my 'chin'. "Boss?" Sliver looked over to me for the first time I didn't know what to do, I had easily taken low level targets to medium level-...Wait you don't know what that means alright. Low level threats- these are the scum of the streets Drug dealers, Murders, Rapists, and scum that are easliy to deal with because of the lack of protection they will have to being easily missed. Medium level threats- Drug lords, cereal killers, Underground slavers, and the such these are targets that can be quietly dealt even with there hired protection of guard and such but will be missed and these are targets that should be done every other month no matter how bad they are it is to keep a low level of cover to do so. High level threats- These are threats that are at a close to be War level threats, these are highly popular targets such as blueblood and the pillars. They are also quite powerful in beginning with guards and themselves that might prove a differential in termination. I usually above these before I'm found out in this world. Finally there is the last WAR level threats- As the name says these are targets that are extremely popular and powerful that they control entire nations and armies. These are targets I most likely will have to do last until I have gathered enough of a army such as skitarii rangers, land raiders, imperial knights, and the such. The last on the list to have but still marked for reaping as death has them on the list. Right now I had finished the last of low level threats in a matter of two weeks and some medium threats, the news of these targets deaths have been reported and was going to be alot harder to cover my tracks I mean I'm a fucking dreadnought after all if I was a inquisitor assassin this would be easier. But death could only bring me back as a dreadnought because of the rules of life/death, I don't hate this new body I mean its fucking badass after all. Omnissiah be damn this is getting harder to do... Author's Note So another chapter in 24 hours...oh you ladies enjoyed it!
Meeting of a dreadnought (with story anchor)View OnlineI have awaken...Meeting of a dreadnought (with story anchor)(Before twilight becomes queen and after the big three were stoned) (Week 2, day 1) Twilight held the newspaper with a look of easy as she read the head lines. MORE DEAD 12 ADD TO THE INFAMOUS GOLEM KILLER! Giving a heavy sigh she then called out for spike, the young dragon came down the steps rubbing his eyes as starlight was in the cooking this morning. "Spike can you write a letter to the princess real quick?" The dragon sighed as he popped his back. "Good morning to you twi...let me get my stuff," With that the teen then walked out of the room as he went to get his ink and quill. Starlight came in with the 'food', the food she had made was burned beyond eating and she just made cereal it was the only thing that couldn't burn. Placing a bowl before twilight see saw the title of the page. "The golem strikes again huh? Who was the target this time?" Starlight asked pulling a chair out for herself as she ate the cereal. "Money bags," The cereal from starlight's mouth shot out as she spat in shock. The mare spat out her cereal at twilight when she spoke, who held a annoyed stare at starlight who was wide eyed. "The money bags?!" She spoke as twilight nodded as she used a spell to clean herself. "The big pony that is the 10th richest pony on the planet?" Again a nod. "Well...at least applejack doesn't have to about him taking her land any more," This caused twilight to snap to her. "STARLIGHT! Ponies are dead why must you say such a thing?!" Starlight shrugged. "This golem is a threat he easily killed ten ponies before the guards could came, when they did he was gone like he was never there," Starlight asked for the paper as twilight gave it to her as she opened it and read the story. "Well there is one thing I noticed big red has been doing," Starlight said as she put the story on the table. "He targets scum of the world...I mean did you know money bags was a slave trader?" Twilight looked to her. "I read that I didn't know that he would do such a thing," Twilight told her friend. "And others that have been 'decapitated' as well have been linked to crime that I though we no longer hand," Starlight nodded. "I mean crime has been brought down in ponyville by 72% I mean he has scared the living horse apples out of all trouble makers. Heck, when I saw apple bloom and her friends they told me the bullies at our school have not even called her a name," Twilight turned to her. "This golem isn't a good guy starlight he is a threat. One that we must deal with accordingly," She spoke. "We must destroy it's core so no pony else must die. It is also reported that he has also stole from the dead such as bits, sliver, weapons, food, and the such he is a kleptomaniac from the looks of it," Starlight shook her head to her friend. "Twilight this golem is only targeting those who have done great crimes and hasn't harmed a innocence pony or creature we don't have to kill him," Starlight said. "IT, Starlight, it is a machine...and from what I heard from the reports he holds weapons that can rival griffin thundercannons," Twilight spoke. Starlight held out her hand to her friend. "Well 'IT' hasn't kill or harmed those who aren't in his way...no that's not the right way to put it damn whats a good way to put him in," She scratched her chin. "Anti-villian?" Twilight asked. "No not that hes more of a hero but not a hero," "Anti-hero?" "Yeah thats the term hes more of a anti-hero twilight," She turned to her friend with a smile before she saw her friend was frozen in fear. "What?" "T-t-t-t-that wasn't me," Starlight dropped her spoon as she saw a large being behind twilight, slowly she looked up to the green eyes in the armored shell on the golem. "Greetings Starlight...Twilight I am a him not a 'it' for you information," The emotionless voice spoke as he walked forward who's steps rocked the castle making both wounder how did he sneak in of how big he was. "I though it was time we meet princess" He was in between them lowering down to there level. "For I have something say," Twilight shook in fear. "What is that Golem?" "Saniel," "Huh?" "My name its Saniel don't forget it princess," He then raised up to full height. "And for what I want? Say out of my way of work," Twilight then turned to him with a glare. "Your 'work' has cost the lives of over 40 pony lives you have murdered," She said getting from her seat. "You are a monster!" The giant didn't move as he lowered himself again to her. "Those I 'murdered' are the ones that are monsters not I, for I serve the Omnissiah," Starlight raised a eyebrow. "Who?" "The machine god, he and death has given me a list of those who must be sent to the warp for there actions. I have come to tell you twilight get in the way of the Adeptus Mechanicus and face the wrath of the Cult Mechanicus as I have warned you," He warned. "And don't interfere with the construction of the mechanitorm (can't spell this you know the big ass facilities that they have on forge worlds) I have also come to tell you that the pony hill (you know where the red dragon slept) is no longer a pony free zone as it is were the mighty factory will be built there," He then pointed with his large finger. "Attack? and that will be seen as a act of war and you will regret it," He spoke coldly. "Now with that out of the way. You do what the machine god and death asks and no pony but those who are marked for dead will killed," He then turned to leave but stopped. "Oh yes I had my servo's knock out spike he will be finishing his dream, you should let the lad rest twilight its normal for his age," She was going to say something but the armor plates on Saniel's back opened up as he was then shot though the crystal ceiling as the two looked up seeing a pair of angel wing on the Golems back and at the base was a large engine that gave off red smoke as it shot him in the air. Twilight didn't know what to do...but she knew, she had been warned Author's Note Guess what's back... Back again... The story is back... tell a friend... for it this chapter has 1,125 words...
Hell's gateView OnlineI have awaken...Hell's gate "I have seen worlds burn and crushed nations underfoot, torn down the idols of false gods and slaughtered kings like cattle. Presume not to order me, tiny man, for I am war, and you are no more than chaff before the scythe..." —Venerable Targas of the Executioners to General von Litzner of the Jantine Cataphracts (Four weeks later) (Before the manufactorum) In four short weeks pony hill was transformed into a large bunker looking building as no one dared to stop the creator of the large metal factory. For he alone cut down a entire part of the everfree within a single night with only his ax as the animals that lived there were driven out. As large base of steel and brass held strong no one dared to enter, but those that were thieves and the like thinking they would find gold or jewels we never seen again. As the nights would go by the large clouds of red smoke that came form the iron bunker never stopped, The rules of the equestria (Still Tia and luna), princess of friendship, and the two rulers of the crystal empire came and made a base outside the factory like building. (Note: There are no blue berries and I just got the game finally! hopefully I can start up a game host so I can play along with you guys one day!) The five sat on one side of the large table as the pillar and the princess of the dragon had decided to help too for one of her friends went missing that vanished during one of Sandiel's purging. The group was siting as they began to plan for there next move and what to do... this was a threat none of them went against, star swirl spoke a hand on his beard. "This Sandiel from both the reports and the princess eyes this is a threat that is dangerous and unknown," The wise man said as stonehoof spoke to his old ally. "Aye he is a strange one, not even I can cut down a entire part of the forest in a single night," The old viking pony stated. "Hes also fast," Celestia said as they turned to her. "I've only seen him a few time but those that I do he is like a red blurr which is surprising due to his height but that can explain how he built this 'factory' of his in four short weeks," The old man nodded. "And from what I put together he only targets on some kind of list and no many are on the list but something tells me he is readying for war," Star swirl said in though. "But for what I do not know," "Maybe one of his targets is a lord or something from another nation?" They all turned to ember. "What?" Twilight just smiled. "Oh nothing you just put up a far point but for who is a good as any guess," She cupped her chin. As therories and other ideas spreed the flaps to the tent open as rainbow dash popped in causing the group to turn to her as she held a look of suprise. "Is something wrong rainbow?" Luna asked. She shook her head as she pointed with her thumb to outside. "He's out and he's just...how should I put it," The grey beard looked at the daredevil before speaking. "What child what is he doing?" He asked. Rainbow nodded before speaking. "He's just standing there," As the dreadnaught was standing before the camp and manufactorum as a group of red being sat in pray as he held his oversize ax in both hands with his head down in pray. This shocked the group as they walked forward as the smell of copper and burn metal entered here noses as the dreadnought raised his head as he moved his spear to his side embedding it into the earth with one hand. "Hello and welcome. You are standing on the holy ground of the manufactorum of adeptus mechanicus what beings you here?" The robotic voice coming from the large giant. Twilight narrowed her eyes when she pointed to him. "YOU!" She stated in her gold battle armor as the main six, pillars, princesses, her brother, and ember were all dressed for combat. "We have come to bring you to justice golem," "What do you mean? I have been brought before justice and her I am," It spoke its green eyes glowing hot. "If I hadn't been brought before justice I would have not died that day," "Died? What are you saying monster you were brought back from the dead? Than who would bring a abomination like you?" Star swirl asked. The men in red moved as there master was called a monster, the ponies went wide eyed as they saw the being before him...a hybrid of pony and creature alike with steel. But the giant held out a hand to them as they stopped as there strange crossbow like weapons glowed blue as there eyes as well. "Forgive them they don't take well to names star swirl so watch your tongue now for your answer. Death itself brought me back but not as I was but as what I am before you, I am both living and dead, the grey of life, and I death's vengeance made physical," He pointed forward to the pillars. "I was brought back to pay the ones who cheated death a visit," "You know what I speak of star swirl do you think would overlook you cheating death to give yourself and the rest of your alias immortality?" He spoke as the old man took a step back, this caused the pillars to turn to the old pony who was began to sweat bullets. Flash then spoke up. "Star swirl...what did you do?" The commander of old asked. The old pony held his hat from the shame of the past but didn't speak, flash then grabbed him by the collar of his robes and shook him. "WHAT IN GODDESS NAME CAUSE YOU TO HAVE US BE TARGETED BY ONE OF DEATH'S CREATURES!" Flash shouted as stone hoof pulled him off. "Don't just lay the blame on him Flash Magus," With that he stopped died in the arms of stone hoof, the red golem then pointed his oversized ax at them. "You all are guilty against crimes of death and the Omnissiah," The eldar next to star swirl took a few steps forward. "What crime?" He then held out its large hand to one of the hooded beings this one was...different it wore black robes and the white cogs pattern was red. It glowed white than blue as if... Star swirl went wide eyed. "NO! You dead," Darkness poured from the Skiarrii ranger's coat as the symbol on its chest was held with pride as its power sword pointed to them. "Yes I have returned!" The one of the threats of equistria was before them in a metal body... The shadow... The group then got into a fighting stance at the enemy of the light was standing before them, but how was unknown to them. Sandiel placed its large hand on the pony of shadow's new body, that for once was his very own. "But how are you here demon!" Star swirl shouted. Before anyone can say a word the golem spoke with his machine voice. "He is no daemon, but a lost soul of the past that you used to throw into another world and that is not the reason I brought him back. If he was a demon you would have sent a demon into another way without a second though what the other world would be like for that is a act of heresy and why you have fallen into the Omnissiah's eyes as heretics," The cold machine spoke in its soulless voice. "I had to do acts of heresy to return him back under death's blessing," "But what body does it hold? A slave that you took for your own?" Luna asked remember her past as nightmare moon and knowing the feeling of being trapped. "What pour soul did you force upon that creature's dark touch," The golem turned to her and spoke one word. "None..." He then pulled the hood of the dark 'ranger''s hood back revaling a oddly shaped head that wasn't pony or any creature that they knew of, it was flat and skull like with tubes go though out it. "This body is pure...a true Omnissiah's follower is what he is now," The ranger nodded as his dark enegry was more gentle than it was since he last meet the ponies. "Though I'm not as powerful as I once was I am one with the Omnissiah once I understood the weakness of the flesh that you meat bags wear. Now the very thought of me bounding myself to one of you disgust's me even now," His hand with his melta pistol pointed forward. "Be warned I may lack my most of magical powers this new body of mine is much powerful than a earth pony and these weapons that I was blessed with will allow me to stand up next to my brothers as there equal," The rest of he red wearing rangers pointed there arc rifles for ward, as that happened the very ground shook as large metal tubes came from the ground as they began to unfold. Reaching up to 20 feet tall the all were in a fence that held behind them that sparked with electricity they shot power to the arc rifles powering them it they were going to fight. The giant with suprising speed spun his staff and pointed it at the group. "Come quietly and face a fair treatment or fight to the death were you will become servo units to serve your crimes for the rest of time...your move," Author's Note I have to admit having to bold sandiel's voice lines are hard but he is a dreadnought and I did put this on myself. So yeah I did space marine 40,000 for the 360 and I have to say...ITS FUCKING FUN! (Though there is no way to get combi-weapons) and ontop of getting one of the best warhammer games out in the market I also got a (old) external drive for my xbox slim that I'm taking apart to use its hard drive so I can play both fallout 3 and fallout nv WITH DLCs. Let teamheadkick do the thing: With that I bid you farewell (for now) with a fellow 'dreadnought'
FightView OnlineI have awaken...FightThe tech dreadnaught was pacident to wait for the pillars answer as he tapped his power ax lightly waiting as the pillars didn’t move. They were wasting their time...If they attacked they would be easily cut down and then their bodies would be converted servitors to finish their punishment. If they surrendered (which is unlikely as Sandiel read stories on them) they would be locked away into the heart of the manufactorum. 12.6%- of them giving up 87.4%- of them fighting. How did he know they weren’t going to run away, because the pillars never do...that and he had a anti-psyker field that worked on any being that used magical spell. The field would weak spell so they couldn’t teleport, use world ending magic spell, etc, but even with spell’s Sandiel’s body was one built for war. He didn’t know what kind of dreadnaught he was but he seemed to be a combo of Venerable, Ironclad, levethan, and a contemptor dreadnoughts. Along with the fire power of not one but two space marine companies. Of course he had his two other weapons with him if things got really nasty but they won't because he had a cyclone launcher for all to see. He did hold a secret weapon in the end, it was a hurricane bolter system that was on his back, it would deploy from his back as a harness that would chest so he would fire a hail of bolts at the enemy. His other two heavy weapons such as his Conversion beamer or his assault cannon be need as well. If thing got REALLY needy his prototype hand held thunderfire cannon woul surely even things up for him. The waiting end as stonehoof spoke pointing his *sigh* shoval at sandiel, the dreadnought didn’t move as he spoke in a booming voice. “We are the pillars and we will not back down to those who ally themselves to the darkness!” The rest of the pillars nodded. Dark reached for his power sword with a snarl but the dreadnought moved his hand to dark shoulder stopping him from doing something rash. “Not yet my brother we haven’t come to play the first move that is for them to do,” A almost whisper came from the giant. The dreadnought then moved forward with his power ax in two hands while his three hand pointed forward at them. “Very well pillars than I challenge you to a six-on-one battle you being the six and me being the one a fight to the death but be warned you will die,” Sandiel warned. “That won't happen for you may be bigger but there is one thing you lack,” Somnambula told the blood raven. If they could see under his helmet they would see his cock an eyebrow. “What may that be?” “FRIENDSHIP!” They all said, it took every fiber of his ‘flesh’ for sandiel not to laugh. “Very well then let us begin this duel for both parties have witnessed on both ends but to make sure I have had proof,” Sandiel slammed the end of his Ax into the earth as skull ranging from ponies, griffins, and other creatures came from behind him with cameras. “These servo skulls will be recording and broadcasting this whole ordeal through the lands by other servo skulls I had sent,” The ponies and the two dragons felt a little uncomfortable with the units being skulls but the pillar didn’t care they saw this as a fair way to perform the strength of Equestria throughout the world. Unaware this very battle will be one of a slaughter. “Since I Sandiel of the Adeptus Mechanicus challenged the pillars of Equestria they will have the first move,” Sandiel stated to the views that watched. All creates around the whole world watched as the red giant spoke before with his hands out before he turned to the pillars. “Your move,” He spoke in a serious tone. “Let's end this before it starts!” Flash mangus spoke as his artifact glowed as the other pillars nodded as they’re own began to glow. They began to use the powers of...friendship of old once again as they used on dark who backed away out of fear from the pillars, but Sandiel kept a cool head as he knew what he was doing ‘How predictable…’ As they were lifted off the very ground Sandiel didn’t move for he knew what was going to happen. He watched as it did the beam of the pillars fired at Sandiel as the beam created a portal behind him to another world. The ponies cheered for the victory but then the red hand of Sandiel stopped them, then his foot came from the energy as he was fine. The cheering stopped as witness watched in horror as the beam seemed to be going AROUND the dreadnought as if… “Do you think I would fight you with that kind of power if I didn’t have something more powerful than friendship?” He walked forward causing the pillars to fall down slightly as his very steps caused pressure on them. Star swirl then spoke. “THERE IS NO POWER STRONGER THAN FRIENDSHIP!” The one who cheated death spoke. “That's where your wrong...for I have found it. You wanna know what it is?” The dreadnought getting closer his ax in two hands as his third was out splitting the beam of energy. When he got close he then spoke with his vox high enough for all to hear: “FAMILY!” Then with a single swing he sliced off the heads of all the pillars, the portal then sealed itself as the headless bodies of the pillars fell to the ground dead. That strike caused the whole world to go quiet for the pillars had been slayen fairly, they watched as the bodies of the pillars where taken by the floating skulls along with their heads. This was when twilight went forward. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING! YOU CAN’T-!” She was stopped in her tracks as a lighting bolt came from the arc fenace. The dreadnought then turned to her. “I already said if they were killed by my hand they will be come servitors for I have won fairly,” The dreadnought said as he turned around, the queen was going to say something but a dragon tech priest stepped forward with her hand out. “There are no more words to be said here go back to your tents pony for you are not welcomed here any longer...but for dragoness Ember my lord wishes to speak with you in the manufactorum,” The cyber voice of the priest said. All turned to Ember as she held a confused look. “And why would I do that? All I know this could be a trap were you’ll kill me,” That got a laugh from the priest as she pulled back her hood as Ember went wide eyed. “Sliver?” The dragoness was wide eyed. “Hey Em it's been awhile,” The silver dragon smiled as her bionic eye flashed slightly. “What happened to you?” She asked, the tech priest waved for her to come closer. “I’ll tell you inside,” She said as ember took a few steps forward but spike stopped her. “Ember'' What are you doing?” The young drake asked as she turned to him as she spoke. “I’m going to talk with this Sandiel guy why?” “It’s a trap,” Spike warned but ember shook her head. “I know sliver she wouldn’t do that-” But spike intruted her as he pointed at tech priest Silver dust. “That isn’t your friend,” This caused Silver to look at spike with a ‘really’ look. “I’m right here you know and also its rude to point and besides-” She stopped as she raised her...metal hand to her side of her ear as if she was hearing something, she then nodded before speaking. “If you want to come spike Sandiel says its fine,” She then smiled. “Boss wants you to be a witness to what he has to say if you do,” Ember looked at Spike who sighed before nodding but Twilight held out her hand. “Spike I forbid you to go,” This caused Spike to turned to her. “Twilight I went on my own a while back I don’t live with you any more,” He told Twilight but she then played that card. Yes that card. “Then as your queen I forbid you,” Yep that card. Spike froze at what Twilight said but then Ember stepped in. “Your not his queen...I’m his boss remember Twilight he is a dragon and as dragon lord he will be coming with me,” Ember saved Spikes butt yet again as Twilight was going to say something but she waved her off as she went forward holding Spike. Sliver smiled with her arms out not as a hug but to welcome her friend since dragons don’t hug as she placed a hand on Embers shoulder she then noticed it too was a metal replacement. “Welcome Em to the manufactorum my home,” Author's Note Thanks Kembrius
Friends under the mountainView OnlineI have awaken...Friends under the mountainThe group were standing on a platform that lowered them deep into the manufactorum as Spike began to wander how deep it was. As they went down into the heart of the manufactorum Ember turned to her friend who was smiling as she spoke. “Since when do you smile,” She asked her usually grumpy friend, but she turned to her. “Since I met Sandiel. He showed me what I was missing,” Sliver told Ember as her friend held a look of consuren. “What did he show you,” That was when her smiling turned to a serious look. “The weakness of flesh,” That caused to Ember to get a good look of her friend she hadn’t seen in almost a year, before she saw she had a metal eye and hands but as her friend rolled up her sleeve, she saw her entire arms had been replaced and the metal claws on her feet told her she had replaced those too. “What has he done to you!” Ember shouted as the rangers looked to her not knowing if she was a threat...yet. That was when Sliver raised her hands. “Nothing I asked him to do this,” This caused ember to stop as she saw the truth in her friend’s eyes. “W-why?” She then told her what happened with the griffins that tried to rape her, she thought she could take them but they overpowered her. Sliver’s realty of her being strong enough to punch sure rock meant nothing now as some griffins could easily take her down. Ember heard of how she had to have her wing removed due to infection, but the rest were removed on her behalf to find true strength within blessed steel. But one question stormed Ember’s mind. “DO YOU REALISE YOU CAN’T HAVE KIDS NOW!” Ember shouted as Silver backed up slightly with a blush at the shout as the rangers turned away in embarrassment. But sliver just smiled as she placed the tips of her metal claws together as she blushed slightly. “Well I didn’t say that,” This caused Ember to tilt her head as her friend spoke. “I may have given myself to the Omnissiah but one day I want to have kids of my own so...I do still have it,” Ember and spike blushed as she lifted her cloak to where her metal legs end half way through the thigh. She then dropped it as she turned to Ember with a smile but ember scold. “Do you really want this for your kids?” Sliver looked at her. “To become soulless machines like these...things!” Ember gestured to the rangers who backed up slightly, but dark walked up with a finger and was going to speak but Ember knew who the darkness was and pointed at him, “You don’t count for that body is just a puppet for you right?” Dark ‘sighed and nodded, but then a ranger walked up. “Lady ember we are not soulless,” She turned to the ranger with a snarl but the ranger didn't flinch for he knew no fear. “I was once a play thing for female diamond dogs but lord Sandiel found me and showed me strength though steel,” The ranger spoke before going on. “Before this I was a scared pony now I’m apart of something greater and fear is something of a past memory,” Then another ranger spoke up this one was changeling...a ‘black’ changeling, he then spoke. “I was one of the old ways of my people than to go with the new that was who I was. Master Sandiel found me alone and hungry and held out his hand to me,” He then pulled down his hood to reveal the metal skull like head of the changed changeling before he spoke again. “Now I never go hungry as I was given a ‘family’ of my very own,” Ember wanted as the skull then ‘smiled’ somehow. Then another and another and another ranger told there tale dragons, griffins, hippogriffs, changelings, yaks, hell even some caribou were in the mix. Silver then slimed at her brothers and sister as she turned to Ember with a smile. “When the day comes for my children to come into this world they will be safe here and when the day comes if they wish to leave than I’ll let them but they wish to become apart of the Omnissiah than I will let them be apart of the machine god. I will never take away their free will trust me Ember this place is where I want my kids to grow up,” She told her before Ember could say anything the lift stopped as Sliver turned behind her and waved for her friends to come with as Spike looked at Ember who looked back before he nodded. Ember sighed as she walked forward with her old friend who smiled as she pulled up her hood as it had two holes for here horns as she led them to the forge. The two were awestruck at the design and the huge room that was the Forge it was slightly dark but they were dragons they could see in the dark. The light came from lamps and the hot steel that was being made, the two then saw Sandiel who was working on what seemed to be a smaller and different version of him. (The space marines aren’t there...yet) The two saw he had replaced his weapons for tools as the only weapon he held was his ax but it was in his third had as he worked on the foot of an ironclad dreadnought that he built himself. But as Sliver came closer she smiled as her boss turned to her for some reason Ember and Spike knew he smiled back as he placed down the foot and went over to them as he knelt down to their level. “Sliver I’m glad you brought these two,” His eyes flicked as if making an expression of happen. She gently punched his leg as she spread her METAL wings as she few in the air and landed on his knee as she crossed her arms. “Well leave me as you took the pillars bodies really? I mean come on was that really necessary why couldn’t you have taken the bodies with you when you told them to come with?” The giant held out a finger. “You know the drill Sliver I had to get the bodies back before there brains died and began the long process of there transformations into Servitors,” He told his closest friend but then he turned to the two dragons. “Now for the reason why you two are here,” he spoke in a serious tone than the playful one that he had for Sliver. “Yeah why did you bring me down here to kill me?” this caused his many eyes to go wide eyed as he shook his head. “No no no no You got it all wrong I brought you her for something,” He the snapped his large metal hand (somehow) as a servo skull came down with a tray with a small bag on it. Ember looked at the bag and held it confused as she looked at it. “And these are?” The giant then spoke. “Seeds I had my servo skull scout out each kingdom and I saw yours was lacking in...the food department so I had these made. They’re genetically modified seeds that grow plants with fruits and vegetables that are made just for dragons,” The giant told her. “As I know you people are facing hunger correct,” This caused spike to turn to his blue friend. “What is he talking about?” Ember then sighed as she spoke. “Our people are staring spike and not all dragons want to turn to cannibalism,” She spoke as Spike went wide eyed. “What!? For how long,” He asked. “When I put Smolder in the school,” Spike was wide eyed now. “She doesn’t know does she,” Ember nodded sadly. Spike then rubbed his fins on his head. “This is heavy,” He then turned to Sandiel. “Ok then what do you want in return,” Sandiel then nodded. “Yes I need something in return for these,” Ember sighed. “If you want gold I got a ton of it-” but Sandiel held out his hand. “No, I don’t want anything that came be given I want to enter a part of your land,” He spoke as ember raised an eyebrow. Ember gave an understanding look but also confused. “OK you know your free to enter my land without any problem I know there are dragons that are really hungry but don’t worry they won't eat any creature like yourself your metal and all,” She spoke. “I was asking if you may be our guide,” Ember blinked before rolling her shoulders and nodded. “Well you are helping my people so I guess it's the least I can do but where do you want to go?” She asked. As she did a servo skeleton with a griffin skull came down and in its left socket held a projector and it projected a map of the dragon lands (spike thought that was cool the map not the skull). Then a red dot appeared as the dragon lord raised an eyebrow. “That's where you wanna go?” Sandiel nodded. “Yes I have been receiving a faint signal coming from that cave,” He spoke in a claim tone “Is there something wrong with that?” Ember shook her head before speaking. “Nah the place is just full of rocks and other stuff but there is a story that a star fell into the volcano when it was young,” Ember spoke. “A star? How long ago since it fell?” The dreadnought. “Well the story dates back to before luna and Tia so...5,000 give or take,” The dreadnought held his chin. “Damn. well it doesn’t hurt to check,” He then held out his hand for a handshake. “How about we meet in two weeks at you kingdom's boards for this little search expedition?” She nodded taking his hand. “Sure two weeks say here at this spot,” She pointed to a spot that overlooked the valley. “It a good spot for any of to wait,” He then nodded. “Two weeks from today at noon sound fair,” Ember smiled “Yeah that sounds good,” WIth that the data was set in place. Author's Note I'm back once again with more stories!
