Equestrian Spartan

The cargo ship flies into Canterlot before a magic shield appears. Twilight turns to Celestia and asks her, “Celestia, isn’t…” Unit 1 interrupts, “Land first and questions later.”

As the ship lands, the Royal Guard surround it with the new captain going in front of it and he says in a sad attempt to sound intimidating, “In the name of Prince Blueblood, you are under arrest eh… giant metal bird?”

Unit 1 says, “I know how to deal with the welcoming committee.” He takes the SAW away from Discord. Unit 1 says as he walks to the door, “Derpy, open the door.” Unit 1 reloads the SAW as the door opens. Celestia and Luna jump on him with Pinkie Pie and Discord behind them. The door opens to reveal the dog or in this case pony pile. The guards cheer and one of them says, “The Princesses are alive and they captured the steel Cyclops.”  Unit 1 gets them off his back and says to the guards, “Let’s get one thing straight here, I saved them. It’s complicated but we don’t have time for this. There is…” One of the guards says, “You’re a lair, you killed the Princesses.” The other guards yell in agreement. Unit 1 yells, “We don’t have time for this shit. There is an air…”  Another guard says, “We shouldn’t listen to you, we should put you behind bars.” The guards cheered in agreement and charge at Unit 1. He gets his SAW and points it at the charging troops.

Before Unit 1 could pull the trigger, Luna screams, “Halt!” while Celestia yells out, “Stop!” in their royal voices. All of the charging guards stop. Unit 1 says, “That’s right, sit and roll over.”  Luna says, “I order you not to touch him.” Celestia says, “He is here to help us stop the incoming invasion.” The captain says as he makes his way to the front, “But…” Luna says, “Don’t question us, captain.” Celestia says, “Keep the shield up, Captain Butterscotch.” Unit 1 laughs. Unit 1 looks around and says, “Oh come on, I’m the only one that finds that funny.” Captain Butterscotch asks, “What so funny?” Unit 1 says, “I’ll tell you later, if you live through this fight.” Captain Butterscotch says, “What fight? The enemy is outside the shield.” Unit 1 goes up to the captain and slaps him. He says, “Out of all these soldiers, you should know that there is always a way in.”  The captain says, “There is no other way into the city.” Unit 1 says, “You’re kidding me, I can go through this low level force field, easily.” Captain Butterscotch says, “Prove it.” Unit 1 says, “I will.”

Unit 1 moves towards the shield while the guards make way for the Spartan with smiles on their faces and some of them look like they’re expecting a laugh. He jogs along nearby train tracks and reaches an opening of the city’s wall with the army of guards behind. Unit 1 walks out of the magic shield and back in. The guards look with amazement while some of them drop their jaws. Captain Butterscotch says in disappointment, “My shield spell isn’t strong.” Twilight says, “I’ll improve the shield.” She makes a ball of energy at the tip of her horn. The ball of energy flies towards the sky. The ball turns into a new layer of shielding right under the captain’s shield. Twilight says, “Now, try to go through Unit 1.” Unit 1 says, “Ok.” He walks through both shields and walks back with sparks on his armor. Captain Butterscotch asks Unit 1, “Are you hurt, Cyclops?” He answers, “I’m fine, it’s my shields that are down, but they will be back up in a few seconds.”

Pinkie Pie looks up and says, “I think the other ships saw Unit 1.” Applejack turns to Pinkie and asks, “What makes you think that?” Pinkie says, “Oh, because they’re coming down.” Most of the fleet outside starts charging at the shields. Unit 1 sees them and yells, “Incoming, falling metal!” Everyone scatters for cover.

When the ships try to go through the shields, most of them crash and damage both shields while the others stop or fly up in time to save themselves. The captain’s shield was destroyed while Twilight’s shield is on its last leg. The broken ships and bodies slide off of Twilight’s shield. Pinkie Pie asks, “What leg? That shield doesn’t have legs, silly.” [Oh no, not again… Pinkie do you want a cupcak?]. Pinkie says, “Yes, I do.” A cupcake flies in the air. [Go get it]. Pinkie Pie chases the cupcake.

Getting back to the story, Unit 1 picks up a radio transmission. A soldier says, “Mad Horse, most of our fleet’s gone.” A sinister demonic voice says, “Thanks for pointing out the obvious.” The soldier asks, “What do we do now, sir?”  Mad Horse says, “I still have a trick up my sleave.” The soldier says, “You don’t have…” Mad Horse interrupts, “You know what I mean. It is time call up the “Under Kickers.”

Unit 1 turns to Captain Butterscotch and asks, “By any chance does this big shield go into the mountain. The captain and some of the nearby guards begin to laugh. The captain asks, “Why do we need the magic shield to be underground.”

Unit 1 hears another transmission. Mad Horse says, “Under kickers, it is the time to strike.” A deep voice says, “Yes, sir. Hey boys, it’s time.” Different types of voices (including muffled voices) can be heard cheering or laughing and then the sounds of drills turning begin to roar.

The ground begins to shake; big drills appear out of the ground. As the drills ascend out of the ground, they show that they are attached to big metal cylinders with tends. When the metal cylinders get up from the ground, their back doors open and several MH soldiers come out. They are iron armored troopers, pyros, and troopers with strange looking equipment with an unknown purpose (Some of those soldiers looked the same while others had their own styles). They start attacking the Royal Guard or looting stores and scaring the civilians.

Some of the Royal Guard were stunned at the enemy’s slightly bigger size and how their attacks and armor were useless against the new threat.

Captain Butterscotch says with confidence, “I’ll get them out of the city with a spell that Captain Shining Armor taught me.” Unit 1 turns to the captain and asks, “Are you sure that trick will work?” He answers, “This spell is the same spell that got the entire changeling army out of Canterlot.”  Unit 1 sits down and says, “Let’s see if this works.” Captain Butterscotch begins the spell. Twilight notices him doing the spell and she says, “Captain, wait!”  The captain performs the spell, magic energy goes all over the city but Mad Horse’s troops were strangely not affected by the spell. Unit 1 hears the enemy laugh at the failed attempt.

One of the soldiers says on the radio, “These morons haven’t figured out that our uniforms and our new drill transporters are magic proof.” Unit 1 intensely listens to the radio. Another soldier says, “The only thing we have to do is kill Prince Blueblood and suck up that fool of a chaos god’s power for Mad Horse.” The first soldier says, “Discord will be the only hard part and Blueblood will be the easiest.” A bunch of Mad Horse’s troops are heard laughing either evilly or hysterically. Mad Horse says, “Get Blueblood alive, I have plans for him to ‘help’ give Equestria to me, whether he wants to or not.”

Unit 1 says, “Captain…” He looks around. “Where is the Captain?” Twilight says, “He’s over here.” Unit 1 looks to see Captain Butterscotch lying on the ground twitching and asks, “Is he still alive?”  Twilight says, “The spell he is trying…” Unit 1 says, “I asked for a yes or no, don’t give me the details.” Twilight says, “Of course, he is still live.” Unit 1 says, “It’s time to do what your soldiers suck at…” He pulls out the SAW. “Kicking ass. Oh, tell that Discord thing to watch his back, they have a surprise for him, I don’t know what, but I know it’s bad.” He charges in the fight.

Unit 1 shoots at a street full of enemies and kills them. He counts the bodies under his breath and then says, “I got a killionare.” He turns to some nearby Royal Guards and says, “If you can walk, grab a rifle or a pistol and follow me.” One of the soldiers asks, “What’s a rifle and a pistol?” Unit 1 says, “The weapons that these scumbags are using.” The Royal Guards pick up some weapons from the dead bodies. Unit 1 notices one of them pointing his gun the wrong way. Unit 1 says, “Hey you, the slim end is where the ammo comes out of. He hears another guard on fire and an oops, a few seconds later. Unit 1 turns to the guard on fire and says, “You, stop, drop, and roll until the fire goes out.” The guard does what he says. Unit 1 turns to the guard who pulled the trigger and says, “Be careful, we want to kill the enemy, not our allies.” One of the guards says, “The only reason I signed up for the Royal Guard was to go to a good college.” Unit 1 turns to him and says, “When you signed those papers and put on that uniform, your ass belongs to your country and your country wants you to stop those bastards from taking over the capital because if the capital falls, the country falls with it.” The guard says, “But, I don’t want to die.” Unit 1 puts his SAW under his arm, uses his free hand to pick up his magnum, points it at the cowardly guard and says, “You either die fighting or just die.” The guard says, “Ok. I’ll follow.”

Unit 1 climbs on some wreckage, points at a skirmish up the road, and screams, “Move up and find cover, boys and girls. We’re got a battle to win.” He reloads his SAW. One of the guards asks, “What’s cover.” Unit 1 faceplams himself and says under his breath, “This is going to be a long battle.”

Meanwhile in another part of the city the princesses and the Mane 6 fight along the side a big group of Royal Guard trying to fight off Mad Horse’s forces. Their magic attacks bounce off the enemy’s armor and suit. The pyros are making it hard for them to get close, even for Pinkie Pie. They even risk lighting a few of their guys on fire to stop her advances in their ranks.  Pinkie Pie says, “Mr. Writer, you’re making it sound funny.” [I was detailing your teleporting power, what did you think I was writing about.] Pinkie says, “Oh, nothing.” As I was saying the defenders look screwed right now.

Discord gets an idea, snaps his fingers repeatedly, and random things start to fall on the enemy troops either killing, wounding, or just pissing them off.

A MH (Mad Horse) trooper says, “Look, it's Discord.” A MH trooper with the mysterious gear says, “Just like Mad Horse said, he can’t resist any form of chaos.” The first trooper says, “Well, what are you waiting for?”

The MH troopers with the strange gear, fire beams of light at Discord; the beams stun and drag the chaos god in the middle of their ranks. Some of MH troops surround the chaos god. Discord asks, “What’s going on? I can’t move.”  A trooper with the strange equipment comes up to him and says, “In a couple of seconds…” A big needle, like a blade, comes out of one of his gauntlets. “It won’t matter.” The trooper stabs Discord with the blade and the blade and his backpack begin to glow. Discord is getting weaker and starting to shrivel up. The HM trooper says, “Your powers belong to Mad Horse.”  A Spike grenade flies through the air and hits Discord’s captor’s eye. The trooper says, “Oww, my eye.” The Spike grenade blows up and big shards of crystals come out and impale its victim and his equipment.  Strange colorful smoke comes out of the destroyed equipment and goes into Discord and revives him.

Before another trooper could repeat the process, bullets fly at the enemies. It quickly becomes a 2 front firefight for Mad Horse’s troops. Unit 1 charges and shoots up a bunch of enemies while screaming, “Dakka, dakka, dakka!”  Discord gets freed and joins in the fight.

Unit 1 picks up a radio transmission while in cover reloading with his last clip. A HM trooper says on the radio, “Canterlot castle is ours, sir and we got Prince Blueblood, quite easily.” He laughs. “He gave up when we came into his room and found him under his bed.” Price Blueblood says in the background, “If you ruffians let me go, I will give you every bit in the treasury.” A nearby MH trooper says, “Shut up!” He hits the prince.  Unit 1 gets back into the fight but still listens to the radio. Another trooper says on the radio, “Sir, we lost Discord and a metal monster is kicking our flanks.” He gets scared. “We’re all going to die. I’m going to make a…” Unit 1 shoots the scared solider. Unit 1 says sarcastically, “Oops.”  Mad Horse says on the radio, “Captain Xeno…” A trooper says, “He’s dead, sir. Mad Horse says, “Fine, Captain Hawkeye what is happening to…” There is a quick scream on the radio.” Mad Horse says, “All troops in the city fall back to the castle.” A lot of soldiers say, “Yes sir.”

MH soldiers start retreating. Unit 1 pulls out his magnum and starts shooting at them, but he sees some of the retreating troops do something suspicious. A Royal Guard says, “Troops, we got them on the run, charge!” A group of Royal Guard chase after the retreating soldiers. Unit 1 yells out, “Wait you…” The group gets in the middle of an explosive trap. “Fucking idiots.” A head flies in the air and lands near by his feet. Unit 1 turns to the head and says, “Well, you died as you fought, very quickly.”  A few of the survivors struggle to fly, limp, or crawl towards Unit 1. Unit 1 turns to them and says sarcastically, “I got an idea, let’s not follow the retreating troops with booby traps and regroup with the others. Does that sound like a good idea?” The wounded soldiers agree with him and they follow.

When on the way to the main Royal Guard front, they hear explosions in the background. Unit 1 exhales and says, “I think I know where the others are. I’ll call in some supplies and a new ride.”  One of the guards asks, “How are…” Unit 1 interrupts, “Keep your blood in and ask questions, later.”

Unit 1 gets on the radio, “LE, I need a case full of medkits, a troop carrier Warthog, more grenades, and umm… what would you recommend a Sniper Rifle or my SAW for attacking a castle.” LE says, “Most of your requested supplies are coming by pelican, your medkits should be there within seconds, and there are some presents for you in the delivery.” Unit 1 asks, “What type of presents.” Crazy D says, “Shh, don’t tell him, I want it to be a surprise.”

Meanwhile nearby Canterlot Castle, most of the others are massing together in front of the castle. Princess Celestia turns to Derpy and says, “Ditzy Doo, I would like to thank you for your personal sacrifice of going through the traps first.” Derpy says while covered in ashes, “Wow, I’m being thanked by the Princess.” She faints.

Captain Butterscotch gets up from a nearby medical tent and makes his way to the front. A high ranking guard follows the captain and says, “Sir, your spell didn’t work.” The captain says, “I can see that but, I have faith in my troops to get Canterlot back.” The guard says, “Sir, we only have the castle to get back.” The Captain says, “Good job, Black Storm. Now we take back the castle.” He looks around. “I see we have Discord, both of the Princesses, and the Elements of Harmony are on our side.” Captain Butterscotch turns to is troops and says, “Royal Guard, let’s take the castle back. Charge!” Most of the Royal Guard and Discord charge at the front gate while the others stay back, questioning the captain’s tactic of getting the castle back.
