Trotting up to the castle gates, I had the MG mounted to my side, with the help of the CPD Officers that were mechanic savvy, they jury rigged my firing system for Law to fire the MG, the former rifle being held onto by Dragnet at the CPD station.

My targeting system calibrated itself to assist in aiming for the larger MG, though being a heavier gun meant I had to sacrifice speed for firepower....

Worth it...

I had a bag of ammo for both Justice and the MG now, needless to say, I looked like a filly who bought a whole toy store, oh yes, I was quite a happy girl.

After all, Ladies like heavy weaponry!

Once I got to the gates I found they were locked, readings found they weren't magically sealed, so I did the easiest thing I could, I ripped the fuckers off the hinges, throwing them to the ground and made my way to the castle doors, those too met the same fate as the door at the police station, I just barreled through them.

Seriously, doors don't mean shit to me anymore.

"POLICE, cancel out your magic, put your hooves up and prepare fore an ass kickin!" I shouted.

What awaited me was a room of frightened pony hostages, and more changelings, one however was different, it was taller, skinny, and had a jagged horn, her eyes were emerald green with darker green irises with black slits, her wings were jagged and had holes in them, she looked heavier armored.

She looked at me with wide eyes and finally spoke in a two tone voice.

"What the hell is that!?"

I began choosing my targets with care, there were hostages now and I wanted to make sure they were unharmed.

"I'm the royal ass kicker, here to save the fucking day." I said as I fired Justice at the smaller changelings, bringing them down with little effort, I took care with my targeting and where I shot, there were seven ponies, six mares and a rather zone out stallion, and two princesses, one of which was Celestia, done up in a cocoon, gross.

The MG roared as well, firing at changelings trying to fly at me from above, they dropped like flies, and I couldn't help but chuckle at the irony. Eventually the room was cleared, leaving the ponies, Princesses, myself, and the big one.

Needless to say she looked pissed. "MY CHILDREN!" She gave out a scream and galloped at me, I tried to fire at her, only for her to dodge my shots at speeds that my onboard targeting computer couldn't keep up, eventually distance was gone and she was in my face, grabbing my MG and ripping it off my arm.

"YOU DARE ATTACK ME!" She yelled, "I am Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings!" She shouted in my face, baring her fangs as she used the MG as a club to hit me across the head.

I went flying across the room, near the pony hostages and into a pillar, I was buried under debris, knocking me for a loop for five critical seconds. I shook my head and got my systems back in order, I rose from the rubble, my armor was dented and my chest plate had a tear on the right side.

"You," She said, I realized she was behind me as I turned around to fire Justice at her, only to be rewarded with the MG to the face again, being sent across the room. "You will PAY for murdering my children!"

I slammed hard into the wall, finding myself unable to get up, looking down I saw why, my left foreleg was ripped off, shooting sparks as wires and hydraulic fluid sprayed from the injection tubes.

"Shit..." I mumbled, luckily, I was still operational.

She was coming at me again, I had precious seconds, taking careful aim I fired Justice, blasting the MG out of Chrysalis' grip and fired again, the rounds bounced off her armor but it made her pause long enough for me to raise a rear hoof and kick her square in the jaw.

She went flying straight up and hit the sealing, masonry and parts of the sealing came down when she did, I slowly got up and began to pummel her while she was down.

"You are under arrest!" I yelled with each punch. "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and WILL be used against you!" I kicked her in the ribs, making her yelp as she went flying into a pillar, causing it to crack. I picked her up and looked at her.

"You have a right to an attorney, if you can't afford one, well, your up shit creak!" I said before I headbutted her, knocking her to the ground, I grabbed and threw her again.

She collided against the wall next to a window, I began to slowly approach, she suddenly got up and fired a green magic beam at me, hitting me in the chest, opening the breach in my armor.

"ENOUGH!" She yelled.

I slid across the ground as I landed, stopping at the hooves of the hostages. A purple unicorn, white unicorn, orange earth pony, cyan Pegasus, a yellow Pegasus, and a pink earth pony, The purple unicorn looked down at me, I was having tracking problems again as my system began to lag.

Needless to say, I couldn't move.

Chrysalis looked down at me and sneered, her fangs were literally dripping with drool.

"I'll tear you apart you mechanical abomination...." She said as she lifted a piece of rebar and impaled it through the breach of my hull.

I screamed out as she leaned down, and looked me in the visor.

"Now you'll pay for killing my children, and ruining my perfect day!"

"You mean, OUR perfect Day!" a voice called out, gaining both our attention, standing beside the stallion, who was white with dark blue mane and wearing a red vest, a pink Alicorn with gold, more pink, and purple mane. her eyes were a more darker shade pink with a crystal heart flanked by gold swirling details.

They glared at Chrysalis as she looked at them in shock.

"How did you escape?" She asked more to herself than anypony in general.

Finding the moment of reprieve, I punched the changeling queen off me, knocking her away long enough for me to get up, the rebar still impaled, but it could be ignored for now, I tried to stand but I stumbled over, only for the orange earth pony and cyan Pegasus to catch me.

"Whoah, easy there, sugarcube!" The Orange mare said as she held me, I give her credit she was strong.

"Dang, she's heavy!" The Cyan Pegasus said as she fumbled and let me lay on my side.

"I'll live."

"But not for long!" Chrysalis said as she tried to charge us, I tried to get up but couldn't, I sustained too much damage.

But then, the pink Alicorn and white unicorn stallion seemed to glow, forming a heart as a magical pulse engulfed us and sent the Changeling Queen out the window, the rest of her horde going with her over the horizon.

The two touched the floor and embraced, I on the other hoof laid there, looking pathetic. Looking at the piece of Rebar in my chest, I grabbed hold of it and pulled it out, the sound of my scream was enough to startle everypony in the room.

At some point the Princess had freed herself, trotting up to me and smiled.

"Thanks for your help, officer." Celestia said as she knelt down to me, her horn glowed as she helped me up. "Silver Blue, I will have the best ponies to help repair you, don't worry." she said with a smile.

I could only nod as I groaned pathetically. "Just so long as my friend Dragnet's all right."

I then noticed the white stallion and pink Alicorn approach me. They looked to each other and nodded with a smile.

"We would be honored if you'd attend our wedding." The pink one said.

The stallion nodded. I nodded and decided it best to power down.


After a few hours of ponies worrying if I died and another few of having my ass repaired, I woke up to several ponies in a room staring at me, one of the faces I was happy to see was Dragnet, who's shoulder was covered in gauze and she walked on a crutch.

"Hey partner!" She said as she came up to hug me, I smiled, I couldn't resist hugging back. "I was so worried when I didn't get any information, the whole city heard gunfire, but nopony could clear the story up for me on what happened, I had to come here to find out by these ponies."

I looked at the ponies from before, at the same time I ran a diagnostic, everything ran great, even my guns were reinstalled and repaired. Back to normal. I looked at my foreleg and tested it, back to normal.... well... close to it.

When evening came and the Wedding went on without a hitch, I got to know the ponies in attendance and even though I was invited, I stayed in the back, Dragnet beside me.

When the wedding ended and everypony were dancing, my helmet was retracted, so my face was out so everypony could see me. I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned and saw Dragnet standing behind me, she wore a beautiful green dress, I agreed, it went well with her colors, the White Unicorn mare, I found out, was Rarity, as thanks she made a dress for me, it fit, and it complimented me well. it was white with light blue roses and blue Lilac flowers.

"Care for a dance, officer?" Dragnet asked with a sly grin on her muzzle as she held out her hoof. I was about to refuse only for her to grab my hoof. "Glad you agreed!"

She pulled me onto the dance floor, the song was more for couples, but with that grin on the brown unicorn's face, how could I say no now?

"Crazy day, huh?" I asked, getting a chuckle and quiet 'yeah' from her. "Sure you want to dance with me?"

She laughed and rested her head on my shoulder. "Wouldn't have asked you if otherwise, now would I?"

I chuckled and danced with my partner, it was nice. I always seen Dragnet as a mother figure during my time I was alive, now I was seeing her as something more... I think when she kissed me the day she was sick, I think she's.... nah, can't be.

Eventually we made room for the couple of the hour and let them slow dance, we joined in as well when the rest of the couples did so, then came the swapping of partners, I ended up with the purple unicorn at some point, her name was Twilight Sparkle, she was totally a nerd, but I heard a lot of good things about her, my stupid onboard computer ruined it by running back checks on her, turned out she only got into trouble a couple of times, but other than that nothing major.

"Enjoying the party?" She asked, smiling, over her shoulder, I could see Dragnet glaring at Twilight, ooh jealous pony.

"Except having to get beat to hell, I'm fine." I said with a chuckle. "I can't eat some of the foods here, I have to eat soft foods, but what I did have were awesome."

Twilight laughed, "Yeah, that would be Applejack's work, she's an amazing cook."

I nodded as we danced a little longer. "Do you plan to visit Ponyville?" she asked as we spun.

I nodded again. "Yes, my friend and I planned to go there for vacation, as you can figure out, Canterlot was our first stop."

The purple unicorn nodded. "Your not a bad dancer." She said, looking me up and down. "So, how did you get this way?"

"U-uuhh..." I stammered. "I-..." Honestly, I didn't want to talk about it. But, I gave an abridge version. "W-Well.... I got... uhm... I was a police officer, and, we were chasing some criminals. I was spying on them and.... uhm. Got... caught..."

Twilight nodded as I explained. "Go on..."

I bit my bottom lip, rubbing the back of my neck. "Look, I really don't..."

"Oh, OH!" Her eyes went wide. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." She said, but a smile crept on her muzzle. "But, if you need a friend, you have six in Ponyville, waiting to get to know you."

We danced a few more minutes before changing partners, three partners later, I got Celestia. Oh boy....

"Uh-uhm..." I stammered. "I-I'm sorry."

Celestia blinked. "What ever for, my little pony?"

I looked into her eyes and sighed. "For my outburst, a few months ago. I... I was going through alot, and..."

Celestia giggled. "Oh, don't worry about it, Silver Blue, ponies are emotive things, even yourself." She paused before her smile melted off. "You had full right to be angry."

My brow furrowed. "Why?"

She sighed and looked at me. "Your right, I should have been there, to save you. But, I cant..." A tear, a real one ran down her cheek. "I wish I can be everywhere, but I can't, but I should have stopped Vex myself, now, so many ponies are gone."

I sighed, now I felt really bad. I looked over at Dragnet who was watching the scene, the jealous look was gone and a look of remorse was evident on her, she gave me a nod to continue my conversation with her.

"I... I forgive you." I slowly said as I looked up at her, she gave me a look of shock before I continued. "I was being selfish, But I guess I'm the first to be brought back, so, I'm sorry."

Celestia blinked a few times before smiling, she nodded and we danced a few more moments before I had to ask.

"Why all the upgrades though?"

She looked at me and sighed. This time a more serious look came to her face.

"Equestria as a nation has known peace a long time, Silver Blue, but dark times are coming, I need all the friends and assets available, I had your jurisdiction limitations removed in case I needed you in another area of the kingdom, I also needed you to know what I thought was more important to the safety of the citizens, I knew you'd be able to do so yourself, but the directives were installed to ensure it."

She paused before continuing. "I was unaware you was in the city, Silver Blue, and I am very glad you were." She said closing her eyes to inhale. She opened them again to look at me. "Were you not here to distract a majority of Chrysalis's forces from the rest of the city, many ponies would be hurt or worse right now."

It's that moment she took a step back and bowed to me. "Silver Blue, you are now a friend to the crown, you've shown loyalty and resolve, you fought Chrysalis, despite harm brought unto yourself. Furthermore you distracted Chrysalis so Twilight could free Princess Cadance, thus how she and Shining Armor were able to effectively save the day." She rose and looked me in the optics.

"Silver Blue, should you need anything, the Nation of Equestria is available to you, the resources of the Crown will be at your disposal." Celestia said as we continued to dance. "Anything you need, Parts, repairs, you name it, it's available."

I was honestly speechless. However, one thing popped up in my mind, I hated to ask, I didn't want to get my hopes up, but damnit, I had to know.

"One thing that comes to mind, Princess." I said as I licked my lips.

Celestia nodded.

"W-Well..." I began, nervousness set in but I had to know. I looked up at her and showed her my foreleg, but she knew I meant more than that. "Is there a way?"

Celestia was quiet for a while, she looked around, when it was time to change partners, she refused to relinquish me. Finally she looked to me. "It will be difficult," She said, I began to deflate until she continued. "I will see what I can do, But, understand, it's a long shot."

I nodded, Looking around I saw Dragnet impatiently waiting to have her partner back.

Celestia grinned. "I see I have competition." Finally she relinquished me and I was returned to Dragnet's rather possessive grip, She sees me as her foal, one she doesn't want out of her sight.

Celestia turned once more and bowed. "Once again, I... No. All of Equestria thanks you, both." She turned and left, leaving a possessive Dragnet and I to dance.

"Your getting ridicules, Draggy." I said chuckling. "I'm not a foal."

Dragnet snorted. "I missed too much dance time with you because of her!" She huffed but looked up at me with a serious expression. "What was that about anyway?"

I explained the conversation to her, eventually the dance ended and came time to throw the bouquet, Rarity shoved several mares out of the way to catch it, until Dragnet took one flower from it, she placed it in my ear and smiled.

"Much better, now can we go to our hotel? I'm exhausted."

I chuckled and we returned to the Hotel for the night. One of the cool new upgrades I got while I was repaired was a charger cord that could be plugged into the wall, I did just that and took a power nap,

The next morning, Dragnet and I were off to Ponyville, hopefully no shenanigans awaited us...

I was wrong.

Naturally...
