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!

"Uh, time gets a little confused when other worlds starts getting involved. How about, 'not long enough?'" Zetta flashed a grin over to Applejack that looked only superficially like his usual smug arrogance. For all that he cared about appearances and proper demonic behavior, he was absolutely terrible at hiding his pure and legitimate delight at Applejack's presence in his life.

"Sounds like quite the match," laughed Pear as she rounded on a nearby robot and clocked it one. "You two will have to tell me how you met."

[appletastic]

Applejack giggled and blushed---very much not in line with her image, but she made do with a fond eye-roll and continued her herding. Easy as pie with her family's loving support.

"Well it all started back in another Ponyville, when new ponies were popping in just like---they are now," she sighed, ducking under a mecha-bot. "Things like this didn't happen all that often. And then this one comes along," she laughed, hurling another bot and leaping back to his side. "Thinks he's the king of the ol' castle from day one."

"I can tell," said Pear with a little impish grin. "A strapping stallion like that would think he'd be king of the barnyard. With those powers too and all."

"Hey, I'm the most badass freaking Overlord in the entire cosmos," Zetta said with a snort. "I'm so far above kings and gods they might as well be ants to me. Honestly, I didn't even notice Applejack at first, I was busy trying to conquer that Equestria."

[the_perfect_pear]

"Really? Well you do seem like the conquering type. But Applejack obviously found your weak spot otherwise you wouldn't be in a relationship with her." Chuckled Pear.

[appletastic]

"...well, I sure wasn't the only one," she admitted. It wasn't like her to be so shy about it, and yet.

"Nopony can ignore an Apple forever. Not when there's apple pie at stake."

[the_perfect_pear]

Pear giggled at that. "Sounds like it. Our pie does bring a lot of stallions to the table. Your father loved it when things came up right."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Hmph." Zetta batted aside a robot almost casually; one of the pleasures of being him.
"Applejack didn't find my weak spot. She complements all of my strong spots. It isn't weakness to be with a mare like her!"

A lesson Zetta had learned only with great effort.

"Well you're all going to have to come over for dinner then," replied Pear with a smile. "At least then we'll be able to have some good times around the table."
