The Mandarin Debutes

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Another sunny morning in Ponyville. Altough Hase still couldn't sleep, the morning made his mood better, up to some point. The dreams have changed a bit. Now, instead of one pony, in the dream there were 2 ponies and something else he didn't recognize. The words were the same as before, but the trio spoke together. The red coloured pony was still there, together with a white pony and something orange on something gray.

   ' Nevermind ', he thought

" Sir, a strange object has been noticed over Ponyville. I suggest investigating. " Djarvis spoke from the house

" Really? And how does it look? "

" It looks like a screen, sir...  a flying screeen. "

Hase nearly spit out the juice he was drinking

" A flying screen? "

" Affirmative.  Flying is possible through jet engines. "

" That's impossible! Nopony else but me has access to such tech!"

" Affirmative, sir. Atleast nopony I know of. "

" Nevermind, Djarvis. Prepare the Mark VII... "

" I already had, sir. "

" OK, then call Dash. I may need her. "

" Calling. "

Hase went down to the basement and waited untill the machine assembled the Mark VII. The doors opened and Hase flew out of his house.

" Connected. Sir, you currently speak to Rainbow Dash. "

" Hey, Dashie, how is it going? I might need your help, pal. "

Rainbow Dash was still a bit sleepy. A call from Hase wasn't the best start of the day for her.

" It's seven o'clock! Can't you handle it yourself? "

" Ah, nope. It's a piece, that looks like my tech, but according to my satellite photos, it isn't. "

" And? "

" And if somepony knows how to build this tech, somepony will also know how to assemble my weapon systems, that defend my factory and can terrorize whole of Equestria. that enough for you? or maybe I should mension, that S.H.I.E.L.D. will hunt us down and blame us for all of it. And I've been in jail once. Trust me, it isn't pretty funny in there. Nor is it warm as they say. "

" Alright,alright. Coming. "

" Djarvis, turn on the assemble device in her house, would you? "

" It's already turned on. "

Meanwhile in Dash's house, one of the few ponies, that could match with Hase' humor, wasn't pretty excited about the ongoing task.

' Celestia, this suit is a curse. ' Dash thought and stepped on the assemble platform. The War Mareshine battle armour didn't look exactly like the Iron Stalion ones. It was in different shades of grey. The eyes shone in orange orange, not in white, a huge minigun stood on the left shoulder and the suit looked more pumped- up. Hase knew, that Dash admired the awesome, so he personally modified this Mark II for her, so she would keep her mouth shut for the suits she saw, when she once accidentaly crashed near his house after she trank a bit more cider.

' That's what I call looking badass. ' Dash thought as the War Mareshine flew out of the house and headed towards Ponyville

" Coming to you, Hase. " she said

" Alright. Cause the party is just geting started. " Hase answered on the radio, as he reached his destination and landed exactly in front of the mayor's office. Most of the ponies feared the huge flying thing so they hid in their houses. The only ponies on the street were Twilight, Applejack with her suit on, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity, also with a suit on

" Any idea wha' tha'thing is? " AJ asked him, as his helmet lifted

" No idea. Djarvis says it isn't my tech. " the landicorn replied

The screen was slowly moving. The ponies stopped fearing and instead got out and gathered on the square. There was barely enough place for Dash to land.

" You were right Hase. Really strange. " the mare told him, as her helmet lifted

Suddenly, an image on the background of an untuned channel appeared. There were 10 rings in a circle and two swords in that circle. Hase got white as paper.

" Are ya alright? " AJ asked him

" This is the sign of the terreorists, that kidnapped my Stark form in New Equestria! I never knew, they existed here too. This could only bring bad. " the stalion replied

Soon the image dissapeared and a video began. On it there was a stramge looking earth pony with a long beard and hair, wearing a long darkgreen mantle, who sat on a throne and spoke:

" Citizen, fillies, foals, sheep. My name is the Mandarin. Some ponies consider me a terrorist, but I consider myself a teacher. Lesson Number 1- Heroes... there is no such thing. Do you think they'll always be there for you? They are ponies like you and me, not gods. Each and every one of them has it's weakness. And I'll prove it to you. But as we talked about gods... Lesson Number 2- Do you really want to live that way? Under the rule of  two ponies, who think they are almighty, beause they have a horn and wings? Nooo, if you think like me, than you think it's time for this country to rule itself. That's why I will personally kill the princesses. "

The ponies made a step back from the screen.

" In the following 2 weeks, I'll expect for the Princesses to get off the throne. If they don't, each and every two days I will kill many ponies in many towns. And finally I'll take the throne myself. Don't think of stoping me, because you'll neeeeevvveeer ssseeeeee meee coooming. Thank you. " the screen showed the symbol again and flew backwards with the same slow speed as before.

" I guess you were right. " Dash told Hase

" Yeah, that's bad. I expect, that Fury will call us soon. " the stalion replied on the radio.

The next day complete chaos ( even for Discord) ruled in the town. Ponies ran everywhere, yelling " We will die! Save yourselves! ", several pickpockets took advantage of that and stealed everything on their way. The only place, where complete Order ruled, was inside Hase' mansion, where Mare Hill, Pill Coulson and Hick Fury himself had come to talk with Hase and the Mane 6.

" OK. You handled Tiara and now comes this! I don't say you're guilty, but you sure are a magnet for trouble, Mr. Stark! " the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. told the landicorn

" So... what do we do? " Dash asked

" I'll tell you what we do! We travel through the whole country and find him! " Rarity spoke

" No, absolutely no. That's what he'll expect. He knows about you, didn't you hear?  Besides, we don't know where he will strike first. "  Hill replied to her

" Sir, several ponies are hurt from thieves. They currently run to the Everfree forest. " Djarvis joined the conversation

" That's it. I'm going. " Dash ran to the door, where her suit stood.

" Ah, no. "

" No? " Dash was confused from the thing Hase just said " You'll just let them escape? "

" No. Djarvis, turn on the remote control and adjust it to the Mark XLII. "

" Yes, sir. "

" May I ask what are you doing Stark? " Fury asked as the whole gang followed the landicorn down th stairs

" You're gonna love this. " Hase lied on his belly on a bed. The Mark XLII assembled without anypony inside and the screen in front of the bed showed what was seen from the suit

" But... " Dash wondered how will the suit work without anypony inside.

" Just watch. " Hase put some kind of sencors on his hooves and head. The door opened and the suit flew out. The ponies saw, that hase was tilting from side to side, like if he was in the suit. The screen showed, that the suit got to three ponies, who were really running in direction the Everfree forest. They also saw the three repulsors, who made them unconcious.

" Done. I guess the Police could handle them now. " Hase said as he piloted the suit back to the basement and the doors closed.
