Wake up...View OnlineWe are back...Wake up...The city of Canterlot was preparing for the wedding of Princess Cadence and Captain Shining Armor. It was. Right now the changelings were attacking. When changeling queen Chrysalis defeated Princess Celestia, a banishment spell wore off. Battery 1: 0% Battery 2: 0% Battery 3: 0% Battery 4: 56% Start-up command recieved. . .. ...

A certain kitty started making its way to the energy signature of a certain princess. Chrysalis looked at her prisoners with a smile. The elements of harmony, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance and Captain Shining Armor were her prisoners. Soon she would take over Equestria and take all the love. Never again will her subjects go hungry. "My Queen!", a drone shouted as he entered the room with a look of fear on his face. "What is it drone?", she asked a bit annoyed. She was so close to victory but something had to come and ruin the moment. "A metal golem is heading here! We can't sto-" The door to the hall burst open as a panzer II Ausf. C entered. It looked like any other except for the multiple cameras fitted on top of the turret in a dome and sensors around the hull. All the occupants of the room looked at with shock, confusion or fear. The tank then made an attempt to speak but all that came out was garbled speech. Error: Speaker malfunction. >troubleshoot problem. Attention: Hive mind in range.

Speaker: [ONLINE] Chrysalis observed the golem from where she stood. It looked decently armored and could be a difficult enemy to take on. 'Perhaps an Equestrian defense but Equestria has rejected most technological developments made so-',Chrysalis thought but was cut off. "I...DEN...TI...FY.", it said in a loud, garbled and monotone voice. "wha?", the drone almost whispered. "IDENT...IFY... YOUR...SELVES.", it clarified. Chrysalis was astonished. All golems she had encountered in her 100 year lifespan weren't remotely like this. It did not resemble any of them, it was much more intelligent and didn't have any magical symbols drawn on it. In fact she could sense almost no magic from it. NO magic. That was a problem. All the golems she had encountered used magic to fuel themselves. This one had no magic that meant it would be harder to destroy and she had no idea of its capabilities. She had to be careful now. "I am Quee-" "Help us please!", Twilight Sparkle shouted. "Free the Princess!", she continued as she motioned at Celestia in her cocoon with her eyes. For her the golem seemed intelligent which meant it could perhaps help them. Chrysalis was annoyed. Meanwhile the panzer's cameras focused on to the weird green thing hanging from the ceiling it had paid no attention to. A life form was in there and it had a faint energy signature very hard to focus on. The rules embedded into its' software kicked in. -Protect the innocent. It's 20 mm autocannon or to the others' perspective, it's nose raised itself and pointed at the cocoon. Before Chrysalis could react, one round had already been fired at the base of the cocoon. To the occupants of the room, it breathed fire for a second and caused a very loud bang. For Celestia, it was very much different. She saw from her place at the ceiling that one of her oldest and most ruthless enemies had entered the wedding hall and then aimed straight for her. She expected herself to be obliterated by the tank but was surprised when she was suddenly falling down to the floor headfirst. It was short lived as she was knocked out when her head impacted the floor. To the ponies, this was seen as a very embarrassing mistake made by a potential ally. To the changelings, this was seen as a failed attempt to get rid of them but the panzer had different feelings. UNKNOWN BEING... Attention: Decryption complete. Memories accessible. Searching memory for any matches to unknown being. Match found...

Order 1 terminated. >Terminate Princess Celestia:[Y/N] The machine felt anger and hatred at her sight. Shining Armor felt a pit grow in his stomach as he observed the scene. The golem's nose or weapon was now pointed at Princess Celestia. The look on Cadance's face didn't help either. "YOU ARE AN ENEMY. YOU WILL DIE.", it said as the gun pointed at her. "Don't hurt her please!", Cadance shouted. "...WHY?", it asked in the same voice but with hatred. "Please don't! Think about all the creatures that would die if she could no longer move the sun!", she answered hoping it wouldn't hurt her. Now the machine was feeling double the hate and a new emotion. Disgust. Even the changelings in the room were alarmed by how much hate this golem was feeling towards the monarch. The flapping of wings could suddenly be heard and suddenly Luna, wearing full armor, was charging at the golem with a midnight blue, long sword in her magical grip. The sword hit the back of the turret but did not impale. The shockwave however pushed everyone who was not stuck in the room back a few feet. "YOU ARE A... FOOL TO UNDER...ESTIMATE THE INTELLIGENCE OF MY CREATORS.", the panzer said as its turret swiveled to point at Luna. "YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD REMOVE MY CREATORS FROM THEIR WORLD.", it said as the panzer aimed for her head. "THOU AR-", Luna said in her royal canterlot voice but was cut off as her suddenly broke into pieces. She could not even scream as more rounds were discharged from the 20mm cannon. Her left wing, left foreleg and hindleg were shot. The panzer felt a new emotion. Happiness. Before more damage could be done a pink barrier rapidly expanded kicking the changeling and the panzer out of canterlot and to the badlands south of Equestria. Author's Note Tell me how you all feel about this. It would be greatly appreciated.
Alliance.start()View OnlineWe are back...Alliance.start()The screaming. It was loud and full of fear. Chrysalis hated the fact that she couldn't do anything to save her subjects. The barrier had neutralized their magic and then thrown them off to badlands. It was a bad situation and there was no escape. With their magic neutralized, the changelings couldn't fly. Even though their exo-skeleton was hard, it was no match for the ground that was approaching them. Then there was the problem of the terrain. The rocks were sharp and they would definitely impale the changelings. All Chrysalis could do was to hope that some miracle would happen. System rebooted. Cause of reboot: excess magic interference. Attention: 1 minute to impact. Battery 1: 100% Battery 2: 100% Battery 3: 100% Battery 4: 100% Investigating... Recharged fully due magic barrier. Attention: 50 seconds to impact. Intelligence increased to find solution. Solution found: Use of kinetic dampening crystals to reduce impact force. Protect allies. Attention: 35 seconds to impact. Warning: Creating kinetic dampening field will take high amount of energy. Warning dismissed. Create field:[Y/N] Chrysalis closed her eyes. A few more seconds and they would be dead. She could feel a build up of energy from the golem but it was probably to protect itself. The ground was so close now. Unknown to her a blue color force field had surrounded them all. The impact would be less deadly but dying was still possible. She felt her body hit the ground and then nothing. Claire, a generic drone, was having a not good time after having a good time. She had fully expected to die but the blue forcefield had other thoughts. Now she was lying on the ground with a cracked exo-skeleton that was causing blood loss and a destroyed left wing. The blood loss was affecting her slowly. She slowly moved her head to look around her. There were multiple lings lying around her, hopefully they were alive. She heard the sound of someling running and looked in that direction. A changeling was runnig around checking up on the changelings. She immediately guessed that they were a medic. "Help", she said weakly, the blood loss affecting her more. The changeling rushed over and quickly started using healing spells for the exo-skeleton. She was picked up in their magical grasp and was put next to the golem which was providing some shade. Some rest will help. Battery 1: 0% Battery 2: 0% Battery 3: 78% Battery 4: 100% Armor status: [BAD] "Can you help us?", a voice to the right asked. The turret swiveled towards the voice to show acknowledgement. A changeling was standing there looking at the turret with fear. It was justified considering what happened to Luna. The changeling composed itself and asked, "We need medical help. Can you help us?" "...YES". it replied. The changeling was visibly happy. "BRING YOUR INJURED WITHIN THE GREEN FORCEFIELD.", it said as a green force field flickered into view. A healing forcefield. It healed allies that were in the circle. Unfortunately, it consumed power quickly and healed enemies as well. It was just 15 feet in radius nor was it powerful but it would do. The changeling could feel the effects of the forcefield on him. He immediately rushed off to get comrades. Warning: Power depleting at 5% per minute. Warning dismissed. Scanning surroundings . .. ... Automated tank unit found. Status of unit: [INACTIVE] Activation signal sent. Canterlot was in chaos. Ponies were demanding action against the changelings and the golem that aided them. The nobles were trying to get more power. Princess Celestia and the element bearers were furious for what happened to Luna. The wedding had been postponed. Luna had been hospitalized and the golem was now a national threat roaming free. Currently the other two princesses and Captain Shining Armor were in a meeting room with rulers of other nations. "I thank all of you for attending this meeting. We are here to do something about the major threat to the world as we know it.", Celestia announced. "What exactly is this threat?", Emperor Eagle Eye, the griffin emperor asked. Celestia's horn glowed as a file was teleported. It was easy to tell that it was ancient from the state of the paper alone. She opened the file and pulled out two pictures and placed them on the table for everyone to see. The first picture showed a bipedal creature with clothes that looked similar to minotaur. The other showed another one of those creatures standing next to a strange construct. "What are these?", the centaur King Vorak asked. "These are... human beings.", Celestia said with disgust, "And those machines are called tanks." "Aren't they mythical?", Shining Armor questioned. Celestia shook her head and said, "I assure you that they are very much real and are a threat to this world." She continued, "They were ruthless killers that once used to populate the lands." "What happened to them?", Queen Novo asked. "A mass extinction event that they caused killed their race but the recent events show that they are still alive and are probably planning the conquest of our nations to subjugate us." "They don't look like they could do much harm with that body of theirs.", the minotaur king Jade said. "While they can't do much on their own, it is their machines and creations that we should worry about. The tank you saw in the picture was just one of the many types they had created. Originally they were commandeered by a crew of a few humans but over time they made the machine automated. One of them has hurt my sister very badly. It is important that you do not underestimate them." "Therefore I called us all here to make an alliance to fight these monsters.", she declared. The minotaur King Jade, hippogriff Queen Novo, Emperor Eagle Eye and King Vorak were now part of an alliance against human beings. Celestia was impressed in her ability to lie and manipulate. Start up process complete. Instructions received. Attention: Path blocked. Solution found. Thorax was moving his dead comrades to one pile away from the golem which was healing the injured changelings. It was hard as he had to stop himself from feeling sick when the bodies were in bad condition but he was managing. Boom. "What?", he said as he looked towards the direction the sound came from. He saw a large cloud of dust and... another one of the golems emerging from it. Author's Note I feel Woodrow Wilson would be rather happy pretty soon. Feed back is appreciated.

Thorax watched as the new golem's long nose/stick had a glow as if powering up a spell and then the glow disappearing. It started moving towards him. The growling sound that the golems made paired with the squeaking of their wheels made him somewhat scared of them. He was thankful that they were allies as he heard about what happened to princess Luna. The Leopard 2A7+ tank made its way over to the outdated panzer to recharge it. The portable charging point was a small armored box with 4 hatches on it. It could draw power from a generator that was kept close to it. It drew power by using the newly discovered energy field called magic instead of wires. This was very useful as the point could be attached to a vehicle which would recharge other vehicles but its high production cost made it hard to get. The leopard avoided the changelings on the ground and made it's way over to the panzer. One of the hatches opened and a beam of light came out. It hit the the panzer, causing it to recharge quickly. The forcefield was taking a lot of power so it was only recharging at 3% per minute. The generator was working hard to provide the much needed electricity. If you are wondering why was an outdated tank being used by humans, the answer is simple. When the ponies came, they set up conversion bureaus. They were used by a lot but eventually people stopped coming. That's when they declared war. The humans thought they could win easily with their superior numbers, strength and tactics but they were proven wrong when the ponies started capturing tech and mass producing it to be used against humans. The humans started deploying older tanks that were cheaper, faster to produce and could be easily destroyed by modern tanks. The only problem was the crew. No one wanted to command or drive these tanks seeing how useless they were but that problem was solved by A.I. systems. The ponies could not copy the A.I. systems because they didn't know how. The new A.I. tanks were performing better as they were easily replaced and mass produced. If they were captured the modern tanks could quickly destroy them. This put the war in humanity's favor but the celestial princesses still had tricks up their sleeves. Back to the two tanks. The changelings are still being healed and it is going to take a long time.
