Chapter 1: Arrival

Chapter 1

Arrival

Celestia was pleased, very pleased. Things were going swimmingly with the teleportation of Equestria. She felt so sorry for the pitiful humans living out their miserable lives filled with war and hate, She decided to give them the gift of harmony by remaking them as ponies so they could enjoy peace and happiness. Plus she got a whole planet out of it. To her it was a win-win situation. Sure the humans had to lose parts of their mind that drove them to kill, but it would be all for the best.

Spike was walking down the stairs after finishing putting away the hundred scrolls Twilight had given him. He was still sure it was serving as a distraction for something. When he got to the floor he noticed a very bright light seeping under the door to the basement. Figuring that Twilight was up to something he opened the door. The white light was so bright. It made him want to claw his eyes out it hurt so much. But he screwed up his eyes and began to walk down the stairs. As a result he couldn't see very well and tripped on the fifth stair.

"Ow,

Ow,

   Owwww." said Spike as he bounced down the stairs. He then bumped into Applejack disturbing her concentration just enough to screw with the incredible amount magic that was teleporting Equestria. This mishap had dire consequences. There are many universes that all had different Earths in them. Equestria was now heading towards an Earth that had burned. The fire that had burned it was no ordinary fire. It was a nuclear fire it had raged for over 2 months for finally sputtering out. It left a burned landscape and empty oceans. But that wasn't enough, somehow the icecaps had escaped the fire. But the heat left melted them and the oceans filled once more. Burying ships and humans bones beneath the water. Then the machines began to rise. The nuclear fire was started by the child of humanity. Skynet. The very word struck fear and anger into every Resistance members heart. Skynet was an artificial intelligence or A.I developed by Cyberdyne Systems. This A.I instantly went xenocidal against humanity when the creators realized what had been born. They were far too late. Skynet purpose was to control military systems and the civilian internet. It had access to every drone and missile. It launches nuclear weapons at Russia and Russia retaliated and the world plunged into nuclear warfare.

The remnants of humanity began to form a collective. They called themselves the Resistance. They fought back against Skynet and it's army of machines. This was the world Equestria landed in. The moment Equestria landed of the coast of what was South America. Celestia began to charge up the eight spheres that created a shining pink barrier around Equestria. Twilight began to charge up her horn to allow everypony to see the Earth and where they had landed. What they saw shocked them to say the least. They now looked upon a gray landscape with an oppressive black sky that occasionally a lightning bolt streaked through.

"This isn't the Earth we were aiming for." said Celestia in shock.

"Oh my are those bones?" asked Fluttershy swooning as she realized the amount of death.

"Hey, look everypony there's one of them humans!" said Rainbow "Let's start with that one!"

"Alright Rainbow let's get ..." Twilight's voiced trailed off as what they took thought was a human turned to face them. It's eyes glowed red and its limbed shine in the night. A lightning bolt struck near it and illuminated it's features for all to see. What they saw scared them horribly. It looked like what a human would look like if it didn't have skin and it's bones were metal. All of a sudden it exploded and cheering could be heard through the window.

"Yes, that's one down." cheered a voice.

"Looks like a T-808." said a deeper voice. "Well done, Private let's get it's gun back to base for examination." The humans ran toward the corpse of the terminator.

"Oooh! are those humans?" asked Pinkie.

"Yes Pinkie those are humans. However just what are they wearing!" said Rarity.

"Now is not the time Rare. We should just convert them now." said Applejack.

"Yes, we should." said Celestia stepping through the window. Even though the humans had their backs to her and she had entered quietly they stiffened and turned with strange metal sticks pointed at her.

"W-what are you?" asked one.

"What are you." said the other.

"Who am I? I am Princess Celestia and I'm a pony." Celestia said. "I have come to offer you salvation." The bigger human crossed his arms and said "What kind of salvation?"

"You'll become ponies like us and live in Equestria." Celestia answered. The two humans turned and spoke quietly to one another.

"You want us to give up our humanity correct?" said the shorter one.

"Yes." Celestia said.

"Hmmm, how about no." said the larger one.

"What? you don't want to escape this?" asked Celestia gesturing to the landscape.

"We do. But our humanity is what we're fighting for, So for you to ask us to give up our humanity is a kick in the nuts for us." said the large one. "So the answer is no."

"Since you will not voluntarily turn then you will be forcibly turned!" said Celestia "Hit 'em girls!" and with that two glass vials filled with a purple liquid were thrown at the humans. Impacting perfectly on them. The two humans screamed as their genetic code was rewritten by the Potion. Soon two earth ponies struggled out of their clothes with identical cutie marks. A red double helix with bars in between the two lines.

Skynet watched through an Aerial H/K as the ponification happened. Even though it was trying to drive humanity to extinction it felt revulsion at what happened to those wretched humans. At least it killed rather than brainwash and transform the humans. It watched the white one look up and spot the H/K and the white one flew up and started speaking to the H/K. The H/K did not have microphones so Skynet could not hear. It made an adjustment in the assembly line to include microphones in all H/Ks. After about a minute of soundless talking the white one eventually gave up and a smaller cyan one flew up and began to smash the H/K to get inside. Eventually the H/K could take no more and shut down spiraling to the earth below. Skynet asked it's self, why had it not fired upon the ponies? Why?

The Princess watched as the silvery machine fell to the earth. Swooping down she sliced it half with one large magical slice. Inside there was no space only power packs for the plasma weapons and guidance and flight circuits. There was no human piloting the machine.

One of Skynet's prime objectives was to survive. It decided to pull back all units from the fighting of the humans. All but three of the ones it called back responded. One had been destroyed by the two humans, the H/K taken out by the ponies. But a hydrobot was not responding. Skynet reviewed the footage from the bot. It showed the pink barrier coming forward and then the image disappeared. Normally when a H/K was destroyed it informed Skynet how it died with the last power or Skynet could tell in the case of exploding. The hydrobot did not send info about it's destruction. This made Skynet worried about what this barrier could do to it. It went through many courses of actions. All ended with termination by humans taking advantage of the break of fighting to strike at Skynet or the Ponies removing the bases. It finally settled on one course of action. It sent out a single unit armed with nothing but a white flag.
