As Twilight waited for a reply from Princess Celestia, she decided to ask me a few questions.

"So Raptor, what are you exactly?".

"I am what is known as a human on my home planet".

"Interesting, and what was the name of your home planet".

"My home planet was known as Earth".

Before Twilight could ask her next question the bright flash of light shines in the room, which in turn causes Raptor to react thinking that a flash bang went off and takes cover aiming his rifle in the direction of the light.

Once the light recedes it reveals the one and only Princess Celestia.

"Twilight I teleported as quick as I could the instant I received and read your letter", "Are you and your friends alright?"

"We're alright, just some minor injuries nothing serious, but could had been worse if Raptor hadn't shown up when he did".

"Well I am glad that you all are safe and am grateful that this Raptor you mentioned in your letter showed when he did", "Where is he, I would like to personally thank him for saving you and your friends lives".

Twilight points in the direction that Raptor is taking cover in and Celestia turns to looks at Raptor.

Raptor sees that Twilight knows the taller pony and sees that they are not a threat, lowers his rifle.

"Hello, I am Princess Celestia co-ruler of Equestria and I would like to thank you for saving my little ponies from those timberwolves".

"There is no need for thanks princess, I did what was needed to be done and that was eliminate whatever threatens those that are in need of help, even if what I have to kill is different that what I've killed before".

"I see, and what did you do back on your home planet that required you to kill".

"I was a soldier, but not just any soldier, I was genetically modified as well as physically enhanced and trained to be the ultimate killing machine".

"I have one question for you Raptor" Celestia says, looking at Raptor with a serious face.

"And what question would that be princess".

"Would you ever bring harm to my little ponies".

Raptor doesn't even need to think about the answer and answers immediately.

"I would never bring harm to your little ponies".

Celestia smiles at his answer.

"Then it seems that I am now no longer needed here and must be on my way back to Canterlot".

Celestia then teleports backs to Canterlot.

After Princess Celestia has teleported away, Raptor turns to look at Twilight and her friends.

"Since it seems that you are all fine, I will return to my ship".

"Raptor I want to thank you for saving me and my friends from that pack of timberwolves, if not for you we probably wouldn't be here right now".

"No need to thank me Twilight, I did what I was trained to do and that is to eliminate a threat".

"Ok, now back to my questions"

"Can we save the questions for another time Twilight".

"Aww, okay", Twilight looks down trodden at not being able to ask me more questions.

"Don't worry Twilight, I will answer your questions at a later time okay".

"Okay", Twilight cheers up slightly but still down about not being able to ask more questions.

I walk over to the window and look out into the town and see that it is still devoid of life whatsoever so I decide to ask Twilight why.

"Hey Twilight".

"Yes Raptor".

"Why is the town completely empty?", "I'm pretty sure that I say other ponies on the way to the hospital".

Twilight sighs at the question.

"This always happens when someone that looks different, strange or alien in your case comes through Ponyville, everypony panics and hides in their homes", "The first time I saw this happen was when a zebra by the name of Zecora came through town to buy supplies and herbs", "Eventually everypony warmed up to Zecora and are always happy to see her", "Though with you it might take a little longer".

"Well I can see why they would be scared of me, I'm six feet tall and wearing gear that makes me look very intimidating as well as dangerous to everypony".

"Don't worry once everypony sees that you are friendly they'll warm up to you".

Raptor looks at each of the mares.

"At least you mares have warmed up to me a little so that's a start".

"Well why wouldn't we darling, you saved us from becoming a meal for those horrid timberwolves".

"Rarity is right Raptor, if you hadn't saved us we would've been the most recent victims of the Everfree forest".

"Well you guys are alright now", "Well I must be getting back to my ship", "Oh Applejack, you don't mind me using that patch of your land to leave my ship on do you".

"After you saved us from those timberwolves, go right ahead", "I wasn't planning on using that land anyway since it's so close to the Everfree".

Raptor turns to walk out of the room.

"Where you going"

"I'm gonna head back to my ship, so if you need me you know where to look".

Raptor walks out of the hospital and walks out the entrance with many ponies staring wide eyed at him. As he walks through town to get back to his ship he sees that all the ponies are still hiding in their homes. After a few mins of walking he arrives back at the patch of land he landed his ship and enters it. He then proceeds to ask Jenna about the current status of the ship as well as the current status of the ships weapons.

"Jenna what is the current status of the ship and weapons".

"Structural integrity 100%".

"Ship fusion reactors running at maximum efficiency".

"Ship shields offline".

"Ship primary and secondary weapons systems offline".

"Warning! Nuclear weapon locks offline".

"Jenna immediate reboot of all systems on the ship and re-engage the locks on all nuclear weapons!".

"System reboot starting in 3, 2, 1".

"All systems online, re-engaging nuclear weapon locks".

"Good, the last thing we need is for someone to set off our nuclear payload and we can kiss our asses good-bye".

Raptor decides to look at the files stored on the ships computers and comes upon a couple of locked files that are labeled top secret and require authorization.

"Huh, I wonder why these files are locked", "Jenna unlock these files".

"Sorry Raptor, but these files are locked and need high level authorization or a authorization override to unlock these files".

"Luckily I have authorization override", "Authorization override Delta Sierra 4".

"Authorization override accepted files unlocked".

"Interesting these are files on multiple top secret projects", "Let's see which one to look at first".

Raptor looks through the list of now unlocked files and decides to choose the first one on the list.

"I think I'll start with Project Titan".

He clicks on the file and multiple different text files as well as details and other specs pop up.

"So project titan was a government project to develop giant high tech mech suits as well as some type of power armor", "Looks like they only managed to make some working prototypes, but were unable to test them in combat and that the prototypes were all stored on this ship waiting to be tested".

Raptor thinks to himself.

'I wonder if all the other projects on the computer also have their prototypes stored on board this ship without my knowledge'.

"Jenna, are there any other prototypes being stored on this ship that are from these other projects".

"Yes Raptor".

"Looks like I'm the lucky bastard that gets to test the mech and all the rest of the toys they left in storage then".

He gets up and heads towards the cargo bay of the ship. Upon entering the cargo hold he goes to a console and accesses it to see where in the cargo hold the mech is being stored and heads towards where it is. Once he reaches the mech, his eyes widen seeing the size of it.

"Damn, when the government thinks big they think real big", "I think I'll test it without weapons equipped".

Raptor climbs up to a cat walk that leads to the cockpit of the mech and gets into the pilots seat pressing a button closing the hatch and booting up the mech.

"Okay Jenna are you loaded into the mech's computer".

"Affirmative Raptor".

"Do a diagnostics on the mech's systems and give me the status on all systems".

"Running diagnostics".

"Power core running at maximum efficiency".

"Armor integrity 100%".

"Targeting systems online".

"Weapons systems offline".

"Optic and audio systems online".

"Shields offline".

"Defensive countermeasures offline".

"Ammunition levels 0%".

"Looks like we're ready to take this baby for a test drive".

Raptor starts moving the mech out of the cargo and into the open each step shaking the ground and leaving give footprints in its wake.

"This thing runs pretty smooth", "Let's see how well the targeting systems are at tracking targets, as well as spotting targets".

Raptor looks around targeting random things. He then turns the mech to look at the forest and the targeting system is able to identify potential live targets that he can't see.

"Very nice", "The targeting system on this mech is amazing", "Especially since it can track even a small flying bird".

A red blip pops up on the minimap that Raptor sees on his HUD and Jenna warns him.

"Raptor there is a large slow moving object heading this way".

"Damn, the mech isn't even armed", "Looks like we'll have to do this the old fashion way with hand to hand".

"That is incorrect Raptor", "The mech is armed with a sharp jagged blade that extends out of the right arm".

Raptor presses a button and a blade extends out of the mech's right arm.

"Things just got a little more interesting".

Raptor faces the mech in the direction of the approaching target and the target reveals itself to be a three headed hydra.

"Raptor I suggest going for the vital organs as it seems that this creature is based off greek mythology and was said to regrow the heads that are cut off".

"Roger that Jenna".

And Raptor charges at the hydra.
