First Strike

Equestria 0700 Hours

"Girls! please stop fighting over who ever will turn the most humans." said Celestia her eye twitching as Applejack and Rainbow Dash fought.

"Yes, Princess Celestia." they intoned. Celestia turned towards the Royal Engineers who had equipment to set up portal stations around barrier. She smiled believing that her two newfoals would help with the conversion. The human mind was putting up one hell of a fight against the magic. It could and would take over the body for a few seconds at most. They often tried to attack the guard or once herself. She remembered how shocked she had been when the brown earth pony flung himself at her hoping to snap her neck. He called her a genocidal-murderess and a tyrant before the pony mind regained control. She hoped it would be easy but it seemed humans would fight to very last. She opened the portal and the Royal Guards and engineers moved through.

Resistance Fighters

Lieutenant James Mulcar. Sniper.

We were waiting for the first of those pony bastards to walk through the portal that was spinning in front of us. After Connor had sent out the video detailing the Pony attack and now our peace treaty with Skynet of all things. However most of us found sympathy with the damn thing. If I was Skynet, just a new-born, and now my parent's were trying to kill me i would've done the same thing. Whatever, Our orders were to cause enough of a confusion to allow the T-1000's to slip through and infiltrate the castle. I tightened my grip on my Remington and next to me the other snipers readied their weapons. Only one of them I felt envious of. A Barett .50 caliber rifle. My eye caught a flash of gold and white coming through the portal. I had to stifle a guffaw at the fact that they had PLATE armor. Better show them who they're dealing with. We waited until the machines they had set up had come online.

"Now." came the synthetic voice of one of the T-1000's

Equestrian Royal Guard

"I bet those hairless apes are running scared of us right now." said Private Short Sword.

"Get back to work soldier." barked his superior. Short Sword was about to say something about the power of Celestia when his head exploded. Followed by the foot wide exit hole in Sargent Clear Shot's belly. Both died instantly and soon more Guards fell. Eventually the booming report of rifle fire reached the ears of the Guards that were left. They made a decision to do it the old Equestrian way. Charge them and beat them up. However they were at a clear disadvantage, they had to try and take the Human's alive... Human's did not have to keep them alive. They soon ran into the wall of lead being slung out towards them from soldiers hidden in the rocks. Resistance Fighters had developed the art of guerrilla warfare to near perfection. All too soon the guards hit the magnetic mines buried around the barrier. The mines flew out of the dirt latching on to the golden alloy armor and detonating killing about 6 guards apiece. Soon the hundred strong Guard's were cut down to twenty guards. The engineers had run back through the portal in fear.

Canterlot Castle

Princess Celestia could NOT believe her eyes. The hundred strong force had almost eighty percent casualties. These Humans had taken her preemptively. Only twenty-one of the guard was left, although all the engineer's were still in full force but she could hear them muttering.

"How.... From that distance, like thunder-claps." murmured the guards as few nursed strange round holes in their pelts. Unbeknownst to the Elements and Princess a force of five guards slipped from the room. They quickly trotted through the streets of Canterlot hearing the ponies mutter.

"Stupid apes! I bet the guards made trashed them!" said one unicorn mare. One of the guards smirked to himself as he heard the words.

'They know nothing of human warfare, You will never meet and organic race with the will to live like human kind.' thought the guard as they reached the train station.

"These ponies will fall victim to their hubris." said one of the T-1000 units that was masquerading as a guard.

"They know nothing of war, Where shall we go to wreak havoc." said T-1000-067

"This Appaloosa seems to be small and well out of the way." said T-1000-060

"Good, We will NOT take the train. shift to a faster mode." said T-1000-059L.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A single old pony saw the Terminator's shift into a strange cat-like creature before leaving at speeds too fast to comprehend.

"I better lay off the hard cider." muttered the old pony attributing the boot-hoof cider to the strange thing he observed.

Sometime had passed since the T-1000's left for Appaloosa. They stopped on the edge of town and shifted into a random pony. They walked into town and passed normal ponies going about their daily lives. They walked into the Sheriff's office.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"Yes, You can die." quipped one of the T-1000's disguised as a unicorn who lowered his head and his horn turned into a blade that impaled the Sheriff in his forehead nailing him to a wall. His surprised look still glued to his face as the blood trickled down his forehead. Making soft pat sounds as it hit the wooden floor.

-Creak-

"Sheriff are you o- OH DEAR CELESTIA!" screamed the mare as she took in the sight of the sheriff held in the wall. One of the "ponies" close to her had his tail change into a extremely sharp blade and took her head as her purple body slumped to the floor.The head however rolled out into the street. The eyes still staring at an unseen enemy and the tongue poking out of her mouth. A small pool of blood spread from it as the townfolk screamed and froze at the sight. The Terminator's trotted out dropping the pigmentation and revealing their gleaming bodies. The blood still on the places that the blades came from.

"Time to die." said one as they leaped towards the crowd.
