Equestria High

Robots, with the recent advances in pony technology I wouldn't be surprised if we had them in Equestria in a few hundred years or so. But this isn't Equestria, and this robot wants to kill me. Did I forgot to mention that I don't have any magic at the moment? Since that's an important part of my problem. Well enough of me talking I got a robot pony to break.

INTRUDER WILL BE ELIMINATED!

"Is that all you can say?" The robotic pony stared at me, it didn't move but kept repeating the phrase over and over again. "Well if you're just gonna stand there." I tried to walk past the robot but it's mechanic hoof extended out and grabbed me by the neck lifting me into the air.

ELIMINATE, ELIMINATE, ELIMINATE!

The robots grip was tightening as it's eyes began to glow red as it continued to repeat it's line again.

ELIMINATE!

Fuck this isn't going as planned, I cant break free, I can't use magic, and... my vision... it's going black I began to slip out into a world of darkness felling that my life was about to end. Wait a second... I HAVE EXTRA LIVES! Remembering this fact would have been helpful if I hadn't heard the call of another special attack.

"Blazing Slash!"

Three small pillars of magic pulled the robot from where it was standing towards a blue colt with a short mane and tail waiting with sword in hoof. The colt pulled back his sword and did two spins sending a wave of magic at the robot. The first wave sliced the robot in half. The second was sent at it's arm cutting it off releasing me from it's grip. I fell to the ground and was grabbed by my tail by the colt away from the robot. The robot exploded into a mass of metal parts.

"It's just a difference of level." The colt said as he sheathed his sword. He turned back to me and offered a hoof to help me up. "Are you alright traveler?"

"Yeah... I'm alright. Thanks for the save..."

"Ronan, Ronan Erudon. What brings you to such a dangerous place anyway?"

"I'm here to check out the recent disturbance in the area."

"That's good to hear, I have also been sent here to investigate and I could use as much help as possible."

"I don't think I can be much help in my current state, my magic doesn't work at the moment."

Ronan looks me up and down before he stops at my horn. "It looks like you got cursed on your way here, not to worry I can remove that for you."

I probably should have noticed this sooner but Ronan is a Unicorn. He has a ring on his horn and his cutie mark is... I really not sure what to call it... I'll just ask him about it later.

Ronan's horn glowed a faint white. "Holy Inferno!" A magic circle appeared below Ronan and I, small yellow green orbs of light rose from the circle and spun around us. I suddenly felt my magic returning to me as well as the energy I lost from that robot coming back too.

"That should take care of your curse." Said Ronan.

"How did you do that anyway?"

"All Spell Knights have White Magic like that. It's common knowledge around here."

"I'm not from around here."

"In that case I'll fill you in as we head to the top."

*CRASH*

There was a sudden crash as the wall to our left was destroyed, standing there were more robots all saying the same thing.

ELIMINATE, ELIMINATE, ELIMINATE!

"Well thanks for the offer Ronan and I'll gladly take you up on that when we leave but first we need to... RUN LIKE HELL!"

Ronan and I ran straight for staircase with the bots following quickly behind us firing lasers and missiles from their eye's and mouths. We suffered several hits but all it did was take health from our health bar (Which I just noticed appears when you get hit.)

"Traveler-"

"Chaos!"

"Chaos, do you have skills that can put up a shield or cut multiple targets at once!?" Ronan yelled as we made our way to the second floor still being chased by the robots who stepped up their arsenal with chain guns.

"I don't know!"

"You must really be unfamiliar with this part of the world!"

"Less talky more runny!"

_________________________________________________________________________________

Getting away from these robots proved to be harder then you would probably think since they smash through everything and don't really care about the condition of the building. But with great effort and a large health bar we were able to make it to the roof, and my suspicions were right. On top of the building was Dark and he was talking to a Unicorn with glasses. She held a book and a large hammer with her magic.

"That's him Ronan."

"Let's sneak around and hear what there saying."

Ronan and I moved around until we were closer and out of sight so we could hear what they were talking about. The mare Dark was talking with was a light blue and had a medium length mane & tail. Her cutie mark showed 2 gears being turned by magic. Much similar to Gears single gear

"So are you sure those robots were enough to K.O. them Mari?" Dark asked looking at a single monitor with several different views from other cameras.

"With the information you have given me there is only a 20% chance that the targets will make it up here." Mari began flipping through her book with a quill writing down several things very quickly.

"So why did you decide to help me anyway?"

"I've never analyzed a pony with your abilities before. It's almost as if you've come from another world."

"Are you an android or something?"

"What would bring you to that conclusion?" Mari stops writing to give Dark a puzzled look.

"It's the way you talk, almost sounds like you were a robot yourself."

"I do love machines, maybe my extended time around their presence has given me a more complex speech."

"Uh... right."

As Dark and Mari continued their conversation Ronan and I tried to come up with a plan so we could get the jump on them. Keeping or voices down to a hush of course.

"So that black pony there is the one that caused the disturbance, so I guess he's the one I need to slay." Ronan began to un-sheath his sword.

"Hey, don't kill him he's a friend of mine!" I pushed Ronan's sword back down and gave him a mean glare.

"Let me fill you in on this." Ronan cleared his throat before he began his explanation. "In the land of Equhase we don't just kill ponies. We engage in PvP until one side has lost all lives there team has. The winners then get to choose the course of action depending on the level of the battle. A low leveled battle such as for an item is rewarded with sad item and a small GP bonus. Higher level battles such as for land are rewarded with said area of control and a portion of the losers land."

"We seem to have trespassers." Mari turned to where Ronan and I were hiding. "There is no point for you to continue hiding."

"I guess you got us." I came from our hiding place holding my forelegs in the air. "We give up."

"But first we challenge you to a PvP match!" Ronan said with sword drawn pointing it at Mari and Dark.

"We accept your challenge." Responded Mari putting down her book and lifting her hammer into a swinging position.
