A Flash, A Bang, A Flash...bang? An Uninvited Mass Of Mecha Ponies Arrive!

[aie_mods]

Who: EVERYONE
What: SHIT'S GOING DOWN. EVERYONE TO YOUR BATTLE STATIONS. (Or help ponies get away from the mess!)
Where: Canterlot and Ponyville.
When: 12/10
Warnings: You know you. Also violence. And possibly failed swearing. BUCK THIS CHEAT.

The investigation had been well underway underneath the Canterlot University in the Lab. Unbeknownst to them at the time, the sky in Equestria was darkening - and it wasn't nighttime yet. A loud sound crashes across the sky, and those ponies that would snap to attention looking in the direction it came from would notice that more new arrivals were coming - and they didn't look friendly.

In fact, they didn't look very emotive at all. And when the laser fire and robotic HI-YAHs started flying, the situation became clear - the very metallic ponies were enemies and needed to be stopped.

Get yourself geared up, or help the defenseless ponies to safety so they don't get hurt!

And be careful - more of these 'mecha ponies' keep arriving one wave after the next, in both Canterlot and Ponyville!

Celestia let out a small sigh. "If you'll work with me, I'm pretty sure you'll even enjoy smaller and less powerful explosions. Not everything has to be destructive and powerful, you know. You'll frighten other ponies who might want your help."

"Well, I just..." Megumin sighed. "I want to show HER the best Explosion I can do. How can I do that with smaller, less powerful ones?"

[relaxing_with_the_sun]

"...oh..."

Celestia got the idea now. "If I let you show off your explosion, then will you let me teach you much more effective ones? I don't like to teach violence, but I will help out if it can be practical."

[explosions_are_awesome]

"You'll teach me more Explosions? Okay, deal."

So quick! And yet she sees an opening in the chaos. There's nothing in the way so... "Pardon me."

Holding up her staff, magic began to swirl, an immense power building. "My name is Megumin! Arch wizard of the crimson demons! Power darker than dark, more crimson than the blood that flows. Buried in the sea of time, I stand before thee, incinerate mine enemy! EXPLOSION!"

[relaxing_with_the_sun]

"Wait!"

And she's quick to put up a barrier that is going to strain the heck out of her!

In the din and the smoking crater left behind, Megumin collapsed to the ground.

"Seven out of ten," she murmured tiredly.

[relaxing_with_the_sun]

"Oh, child..." Celestia said, sighing. She used her magical telekinesis to life the poor drained pony and lay her on her back.

"Coulda done better if I wasn't pressed for time, the windup counts too." Murmured Megumin tiredly.

[relaxing_with_the_sun]

"I'll teach you had to do so without any sort of windup." Celestia said.

[explosions_are_awesome]

"Really? Well okay, sounds good." Because Megumin needed that.
