Apple blooms mechanical mark
The fall of canterlot
Previous ChapterNext Chapter...or that's what she planned on doing. Before the tazer could hit its intended target, a changeling jumped in the way, blocking the shot. Apple bloom panicked as the queen looked at her.
"Oh, a fighter I see. Well no matter, you will fall like everypony else, you are insignificant." Queen chrysalis said as changelings flooded into the room, capturing panicking ponies in a weird viscous goo that hardens in seconds.
Apple bloom was panicking as she to was ingulfed in changeling slime, sealing her off from the world.
Apple bloom came to when something hit her. She opened her eyes to see she was stuck and so was everypony else, even the princesses where stuck, but only she was the only one awake, she knew she had to do something. So she decided to observe her surroundings, there where only two changeling gaurds, and it looks like an hour has passed, it also appears that the princesses powers where being controlled to move the sun and moon automatically. Thankfully the two gaurds where playing an intense game of uno.
"NO! YOU CANT DO THAT, STACKING DOESNT APPLY!" One of the gaurds yelled at the other.
"YES IT DOES! ITS COMMON KNOWLEDGE!" The other Yelled. "JUST TAKE YOUR CARDS!"
"WHAT ABOUT EARLIER! I TRIED STACKING AND YOU SAID IT DOESN'T APPLY!" The initial gaurd continued from earlier.
A very heated game of uno. But this gave enough cover to escape and land silently. She didn't have a straight plan but she had an idea.
Apple bloom snuck through the halls when a changeling saw her. It hissed at her as she panicked, she tried to run but it had her at a disadvantage, so it try to break both her legs to make it so she couldn't run, thankfully it didn't succeed, or at least that's what she thought as she pulled out her tazer and knocked it out. However as she did that a flare of pain made itself known, she looked down to see it broken and red with irritation.
Thankfully apple bloom snuck into her room wothout any more encounters, she had an idea, what if she could use machines to augment her body, starting with her leg as it was now broken at the joint so she ventured in, finding her equipment and started to pack as her room was not safe.
Apple bloom made her way to the crystal caverns underneath canterlot as it had many hiding spot she could set up. Unfortunately though, was when she found the caverns where being gaurded. So, having no choice, she tried to sneak her way past the gaurd, the key word being tried.
"Who's there, don't try to move." A changeling said as it moved to her hiding location, she panicked and grabbed a screwdriver and lunged at the changeling. "Hey what the-". Was all the changeling could get out before Apple bloom managed to stab the changeling.
The changeling stumbled back before recovering, and unlike apple bloom, the changeling had no qualms about killing, so the changeling got the screwdriver out of its shell and tried to stab apple bloom.
Thankfully, apple blooms instinct kicked in and she dogged out of lethal harm. However her eye was damaged beyond healing by the screwdriver. She barely muffled her scream as she pulled the screwdriver out and stabbed the changling again, this time in the eye and into it's brain, killing it instantly.
Apple bloom was freaking out, she had just killed a living being. Sure it was trying to kill her but still! She was a murderer, a killer!
Apple bloom was spiraling until she heard changelings in the distance, so she quickly got her things, and ran until she found a hiding spot
3 days later
Chrysalis was confused and angry, it started with the disappearance of one of her prisoners escaping, 'she had yet to punish them', then a changeling was found dead in the cavern, which was bad enough, but more dead was found there with strange holes in their head, which goes all the way through the brain. She could not figure out what weapon did that. It was too precise to be a spear, yet too small to be magic.
Chrysalis's thoughts were interrupted by one of the drones. "Your majesty, petmision to speak about the new reports."
"Permission granted." Chrysalis answered as she wanted to know who killed so many changelings.
"We have found ten more dead, all in a group all one of which seems to have died looking more like cheese than changelings, and one who was crushed by something, we couldn't tell but it was heavy enough to turn a changeling into liquid."
Chrysalis growled under her breath. Whoever this thing is, it is doing a lot of damage to her troops. She needed to find whoever was doing this so she could torture them. But for now, she did some investigating, and apparently, the escapee is friends with another pony they have captured. So she has an idea.
Apple bloom wiped the sweat from her brow. She had just finished her magnum opus, she did test fire it at some unlucky changelings she had captured, unfortunately she had become rather intimate with killing, but now it is complete.
The machine looked and functioned as a suit of armor, however, this suit has guns and hydrologics that is very powerful. She knew she was ready to save everypony. Apple bloom was happy with how the m.f.p. worked, the acronym stands for, mechanical-suit for pony usage, the suit was built to kill. Apple bloom got into the suit and started her rampage.
Chrysalis was sitting in her throne room with the barely living pony when she heard a commotion. But before Chrysalis could do anything, a giant metal... thing crashed through the door like it was tissue paper.
"What are you!" Chrysalis screamed as she had no idea what this thing is.
Rather than explaining what it was though, it decided to punch her chrough canterlot, and into the air.
Apple bloom was infuriated, her best friend laid in a puddle of her own blood, her pristine white coat covered in red.
All apple bloom could see was red as she chased after Chrysalis. Her suit propelling her at Chrysalis with blinding speed, hitting Chrysalis with the power of a train, launching Chrysalis into one of the supports under canterlot.
The speed of which Chrysalis was moving, almost completely destroyed the support, damaging Chrysalis, and causing all of canterlot to shake, awakening the captive ponies.
As the two fought in the sky and under canterlot, the other ponies got out of there pod thingies, and started to evacuate the city, all except rarity as sweetie belle was missing. So rarity searched the area until she found a heavily wounded sweetie on the floor in the throne room, but before rarity could so anything, the whole of canterlot shook with the intensity of an earthquake.
Rarity thinking fast, took sweetie in her magic and ran to the trains to depart from canterlot as the castle fell behind her.
Apple bloom was exhausted, but so was Chrysalis. Despite the strength and endurance the suit gave her, she was still a young filly. But the same couldn't be said for Chrysalis as she was heavily damaged. All apple bloom needed to do was to hit her one last time, as she had ran out of bullets a while ago.
Chrysalis wasn't doing good, she was heavily damaged and she needed to leave the area soon. So she did something before this metallic behemoth struck her down, she teleported out of its sight and called a retreat from canterlot as it started to fall off the mountain.
Celestia and luna where glad all of there ponies escaped, the only pony missing was apple bloom. Of course applejack was freaking out as her little sister was missing, while big mac tried to comfort her and try not to freak out himself.
