Shimmerspeed trotted over to Monroe. She saw the new pony and stood next to Monroe.

"Who's your friend?"

((No clue what's up, so I'm gonna just launch myself into a location))

Dust drifted down from a destroyed building, as a dull thud was heard.

 

"Ow" a stallion said.

"What now?" A mare responded.

 

"Just banged my leg on a pipe, It's too dark here." the stallion said.

 

The dust landed on an outline in the air, before an orange aura engulfed the outline, the air moving off to reveal that it was a grey fabric, that shimmered with a dull blue glow. A brown stallion and light pink mare stood there, the stallion rubbing his front leg.

 

"Well, Now what" the stallion said, wrapping the fabric around them both, still visible.

Monroe looked up and down Adrian.

"he's called Adrian. Smart guy, loves things that go boom a bit too much, wanted to make some kind of rigid flying vehicle. He's pretty much a good buddy, but he helped create those godforsaken cannons"

"Nice to meet you Adrian!" Shimmerspeed held out her hoof in a friendly gesture.
She turned to Monroe. "If he helped create those cannons, surely he'll know how to break or take them apart?"

Adrian pointed at a room down the hall

"we won't need to worry about that, because the controls for the nearest one are in there"

Monroe trotted to the door "well hey, that's good." he opened the door "maybe we can start working in that now-"

A turned leapt onto him from inside it, snarling and preparing to begin firing a hoof mounted weapon.

Monroe punched it in the face, then bucked it as hard as he could. The robotised pony stumbled back, then prepared for another attack.

"Adrian you fat sack of shit, help!"

Adrian quickly grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher and bashed the robot fairly hard, before realizing he had a gun.

He pulled out the pistol, and fired several times at nigh point-blank range into the robot's face. It dropped to the floor.

Monroe pulled the robot off himself, then took the robots guns.

"hey Adrian, while you hack that cannon, I'll see what the hell these things do"

Adrian nodded, then walked inside the room.

"Shimmerspeed, keep an eye out. Yell if a robot approaches. If I can figure out how to use one of these guns, I'll give it to you."

The bronze stallion gave a grin as his horn lit up again, causing some of the pipes to levitate around him. "Weaver, I need a Detection Enchantment" he said as he brought the pipes up to eye level.

 

The pink mare nodded, as her horn pulsed a deep blue, a beam of magical energy wrapping around the tip of one of the pipes, causing a ethereal star-like shape to unfold like a flower from the pipe opening. "What do you plan to do with that Clockwork?" Weaver asked, annoyed

 

Clockwork placed all but the enchanted pipe into his bag. "Now to focus" he said, closing his eyes to focus on the spell.

 

The sides of the pipe started to shine as the telekinetic magic started to become a more solidified, the pipe side starts to move apart, forming a hoop of enchanted metal, the rest of the pipe falling to the ground with a clash.

 

Weaver cursed, trying her best to move the cloak to cover both herself and Clockwork, the enchantment on the cloak activating.

 

Clockwork managed to get under the cloak, but his tail remained hanging out, appearing to be floating.

After a little while of tinkering, and removing of bullets, monroe figured out how both of the weapons worked, or at the very least how they could be operated.

 

He placed the bullets back in the first one. It was an smg, that could be attached to a hoof. He trotted to Shimmerspeed "Here you go" he said, giving it to her.

 

Adrian had messed around with the cannons for a while, before eventually coming out of the room and saying "Right, I've handled what I could. We just need to get a robot for identification"

Shimmerspeed heard Monroe coming. She turned around and accepted the gun. "Thanks!" She held it in her hoof and turned back round to the corridor. After a minute or two, she heard faraway hum. A machine. It turned the corner and she started shooting it. While it repaired itself with magic, she turned round to Adrian.
"Well, here you go!"

((Want to join our tiny group orbit?))
Eris's ears twitch for a moment, picking up a high chirping sound.
Since her hearing was better as a Batpony,((sundown till sunrise... The whole concept is messed up. So she is supposedly pony by day, bat by night. Vampire bat, eh.. Her transformation times vary I guess))
She was able to hear even the slightest movements from afar.
"Stuff it, this is gonna be bad for the morning" she indicates her bruised, partially burnt body and wings.
The sound was becoming louder and more annoying, tickling her ears like an itch that wouldn't go. It zooms by them, and she swore she saw something tiny with crystals wings and huge... Cute? Eyes.
She rubs her ears, bracing for the continuous chirping laugh of the creature. To bat ears, it was like small musical nails on a chalkboard. So cute, but so bad for her battified ears.

"Parasprite!" She hisses, suddenly trying to be quiet.

((I don't think bats actually have better hearing. They have echolocation or something like that))

 

Adrian nodded, then ran over to it. It was some form of security robot, designed before the invasion for private defense. It wasn't well made. Luckily, the signals all were the same for pretty much every robot that still functioned.

 

He pulled out the signal receivers inside a hatch, then disabled it completely.

 

He walked back into the room, then spent about ten minutes attempting to work it before it finally finished.

 

"Eureka!" he beamed.

 

Above the ground, a cannon could be heard rotating, and firing. 

 

The sound of a cybernaut screeching, then hitting the ground shortly after.

 

He punched the air, then ran to Monroe

 

"Okay, now that's done, what did the other gun you get do?"

 

"Fires grenades-"

 

The moment Monroe said that, Adrian had grabbed the gun. 
 

"...you're welcome"

Shimmerspeed ran towards Monroe so the cannon didn't hit her. She covered her ears as the cannon went off. When she uncovered them, she saw the dead machine. "Phew."
"What now? Program these cannons to shoot all the bots?"

"Well we'll need to go to all of them, and the damn things don't move..." Adrian shrugged.

 

Monroe stepped inside the room and examined the controls "I don't think getting to them all would be hard. Just repeat the same thing while the robots get killed by the cannon"

 

((hey rose, the cannons would have no chance of hitting shimmer, because they're on the roof, while shimmer, monroe and adrian are inside))

Adrian took some "Thanks" before quickly gulping it down. 

 

Monroe shook his head "nah, don't worry about it. Lets just head out and reprogram the other cannons"

 

Adrian and monroe trotted down to the bottom floor, then peeked out of the door.

"Looks like the cannon is doing it's job"

Potipah trudged across the bridge towards the city, her already-messy mane and tail being blown by the bitter sea air. Now it was not the guns making her spine quiver, but the worrying thoughts that were now piling up in her head. Beneath her hooves, she could nearly feel the bridge shaking in the strong winds. There was little chance of such a wonderfully designed structure collapsing, but she couldn't help but fret over what would happen if the steel were to bend and the concrete wear away. Without a second thought, she'd run to the other side. After that, she would be stranded. There was no other bridge leading to the little island. If the ponies there - the ones with the guns - had malicious intent, she feared for her life.

 

Thankfully, the bridge that lead home didn't fall. She looked back; the structure still stood, rocked by the breeze. Standing a moment, she stared at the hills beyond and the train line leading through them and back to Ponyville.

 

The sound of metal heaving was similar to that of the bridge at first, but soon enough, she turned to witness an alloy giant, a fair height taller than her, collapsing not far from her. To her joy, what she next saw was a pony - her size, with a vivid blue and yellow mane. This mare leapt across the fallen beast, to who-knows where.

 

A horde of alloy militants pursued the mare, plodding along the ground with heavy footsteps, their limbs making whizzing sounds as they spun. Potipah worried for the mare's safety, but soon a cannon fired from above, creating a comic domino effect as the robots, in turn, fell on one another. Others persisted, continuing their dull movements. The cannon would lose ammo in time, the mare needed help. Especially if alone.

 

Spotting a ladder on a building nearby, she made a dive and grabbed it with her hooves. What was she even thinking, she pondered as she ascended the ladder to the flat roof. She had no weapons with her, little knowledge of weapons... She had never fought any of these things off. The mare leapt over a gap in the ladder. Her hoof slipped, making her heart stop momentarily, but she soon had her balance once more. Gotta be careful, be careful. Practice what you taught the little fillies and colts.

 

Composed, she reached the top of the building and stopped to catch her breath, leaning against a red brick room at the top of the structure. Why had she never gone to the gym? It was beyond her.

 

Keeping low, she shifted to the side of the building. Her hoof brushed against something cold and metallic - ovular. It reminded her of a heart. She picked it up, observed it. A grenade, there was no doubt. It had the familiar green colour, the hook. Peering to where she had come across it, she noticed there were four. Four chances...

 

Peering over the edge briefly, she observed the scene. The alloys pursued from one position. A glance to the other side of the building she was atop, there were no alloys. The mare, she knew, was in the building beside her. She had to be. Whether she was alone or with others, the poor girl probably needed a little help.

 

Potipah bit the hook off of the grenade with her teeth, then looked at it in her hoof briefly. For the love of Celestia, Luna and all that is Holy, let this work.

 

She lobbed the little green parcel off the building, towards the area where no alloys were and instantly curled up, her hooves over her ears. She knew there were ponies in those metal suits. Sentient, beautiful creatures as scared as she was. A diversion was by any means greater than death.

((Blazer, you forgot one crucial thing... The other cannons are going to fire at your lone hacked one, and they don't care if the whole building goes too. Also, I've always presumed them to be magical in origin, but hey, it works.))

Muffins paused, the parasprite noticing a face as it shot past, partially using it's own optical eyes and partly the satelite's overhead view.

The satelite would be under the horizon in a moment, he noted. Which meant he would lose his overhead point of view. Which also meant that the pony needed to tend to his handler, now.

He halted his flight, coming to a stop a cautious distance in front of the pony. He- or she, now that the parasprite paid attention, had just begun to register the fact that it wasn't alone, her eyes only just beginning to show suprise.

They were so slow, these creatures.

Muffins gave a wary chirp, flicking his wings to the side as if they were blades. The mare opened her mouth, presumably to sound a warning, perhaps to others. If they had hostile intents, he would have to deal with them himself.

Not that he liked having to deal with organic creatures.

A slight disturbance in the defense grid occupied his attention for the eternity it took for the mare to finish her one word. His calculations ran fast enough that time seemed to pass slower for him than it actually did, now that he was not occupied. He directed a probe towards the orbiting satelite, searching for the source.

A gun had been hacked. Well, that would pose a slight problem for the Maneframe.

Another notification caught his attention. Muffins read it, glancing down the entire code in less than a hundredth of a second. Coordinates for every single gun in the city, targeting the sole hacked turret.

Or not.

The ground rumbled as the sky filled with blue flashes. Muffins squeaked.

Well played.

The mare finished her sentence.

The parasprite chirped, followed by a questioning glance that was not altogether friendly.

If there was anyone near that gun...

May Celestia have mercy on their souls.

((I just re-read Sq's post, if you guys actually survive this in one piece, it'll look like Potipah's grenade summoned an orbital strike right on top of the building. Think sonic rainboom in reverse.))

"Celesti- uhh..." She breaks off a swear mid sentence, her attention broken off the the sky above her, ignoring the others and the parasprite... robot.

Her ears sunk down, and her moth dropped in fear. She starts shivering, reversing the heat she felt around her charred body.
The twilight sky... Was being torn apart with blue electrical beams, all aimed at one place... And it was like an earthquake.
She didn't exactly trust the parasprite, with that questioning look and the fact that the explosion happened in half the time she said the word... Not that it could be that sweet, little cutie's fault.

Oh god damn, you did that well.
The parasprite had the same adorable ness that was hard to resist loving like all of his... True species... (The organic parasprites?)

Her attention turned back to the sky, and the ground shook more under her hooves.
Fly wings, FLY!
She flaps her burnt wings furiously, the pain starting to subside. Something was terribly off about this new event.
She screeches a high echoing sound, unknowingly stuttering nearby machine's 'hearing' and location abilities for half a second and into the walls, then it bounced back at her, giving her a close clear pathway away from here.

She signals her next move to Spark and Ella.
"RUN!"

The building was closeby.
And there was the present danger of it toppling over afterwards.
No pony wanted to be there when it hit the ground. Smoke, crumbling cement and brick, and a whole lot of dust.

--------------------

Ontop of the same building as it was just before, the Changed stood in the same position, staring at the group. With them, a new identifyable creature flew at such a high rate it was hard to analyse.
It became aparent that it was definitely not pony, nor was it organic. They zoom in, scanning it while its attention was at the bat pony below. It wouldn't notice though.

loading files...
Done.

Type: cyber / AI
Model: unknown
Species shown: Parasprite
Originated from: Equestria
NATIVE species
Danger level: unknown
Speed: 0.5 ms flight cycle ((am I right?))

Load more files?_
Ended.


The Changed stumbles back, confused at why a Cyber would be ins form of that creature.
Either way, a new notification caught her attention, as well as another after that, disturbing its still pony side.

ok, the both of us know that is one heck of a deadly notification on our hooves!

Silence, organic!

You know my name! You pretend to be me! Show a little respect to who you took over! Come on.

I swear, I will change it once your finally outta here. You are an unacceptable second voice in this head.

Jeese loise, give up already. Who am I, for celestia's sake. Who are you supposed to be?

Silence!

No. Who. Am. I.

El-

Go on...

Electro...

Electron, you stupid robot! You can't even say a name let alone know one!

There is no need more names once I'm done here. I will go by my liscenced number and you will be gone, saved as a tiny little backup file. Now, dispose of yourself. I'd like some privacy in this head of ours.

It was mine originally, lodger!
And hell, we both know very well that you need me in one piece to actually live out your name, Changer. So are you just gonna choose to ignore those notifications, or what? You want to get crushed?
What you gonna do?


Suddenly, her hooves pick up from under her, and she leaps over her fooftop to the next, her hair swaying in the breeze with every jump.

wha- what are you doing?! I choose where we go, Organic!

Mind if I host for a little bit? Or is that too much to ask?

The sky bursts open with electric gunfire behind her, shaking her mid-landing, almost making her fall off the edge.
She gets up again with a grunt, somewhat grateful for the abilities the AI had blessed her with.

Or was it a curse?

((Muffins isn't actually flying around, he's just darting here and there around Orbit, who's still unconcious and losing blood. Also, Muffin's flight speed is about normal trotting pace most of the time, unless he's dodging or synced to Orbit's hoof mounted transmitter, in which then he acts as a distant extension of Orbit's hoof. His projected form is a parasprite for simplicity's sake and to host the gyroscope that is his main body, as well as the little memory crystal at his core.))

Muffins flinched at the batpony's screech, switching over to his backup systems as the feedback from the satelite went haywire. It was a concious effort, Muffins though, to be able to shout at a pitch dangerous to robots.

Of course, he was built old-school, when attention was paid to such events. But still, it annoyed him.

Bracing against the wail that lasted over half an hour, for him at his current calculating speed, Muffins managed to retrieve the satelite uplink, and check the damage done. The building was teetering precariously now, though not in major risk of falling yet. The top few floors were a smouldering mess of support beams and shattered glass, and the gun that was once perched proudly on it was nowhere to be found.

Muffins flicked a wing, the tingling from the disruptive screech finally subsiding. He ran a quick check, watching the numbers scroll.

He hadn't been paying attention, it seemed. In the miniature eternity of failed recalibration, he had managed to hit a wall, and bounce off it, to boot.

The batpony shouted a warning, barely in time. Muffins glanced at his finished calculations.

The shockwave hit, the mass of magical residue washing over them like a tidal wave.

Muffins folded his wings. The next one would hurt, but if he timed it right...

A wave of debris followed, the gun's aftermath causig a storm of small cement particles, mixed with broken glass and the ocassional nail or iron rod.

The parasprite skittered across the ground, trailing sparks before coming to rest beside the unconcious form of a pegasus stallion.

((wowzah, overkill eh?

 

Every single gun in the city... oh well, now every gun is one bit of ammo lower, and a few probably hit each other. Manehatten is a huge place))

 

It was certainly a good thing the group were near the door. 

 

The gun, despite being eradicated in most ways, had miraculously collapsed in another direction. It made sense, considering the gun was firing at the robots in the street, while the trio were near the door.

 

AA guns weren't the best for this kind of thing, eh?
 

Didn't matter.

 

Adrian was the only one who was hurt, and only because he didn't want to see one of the precious guns go.

 

There was... at least 30 of them, now there was 29. It was a massive waste.

 

While Adrian was almost sobbing, Monroe was pissed off. Those fucking robots and their robolord. Oh well. It was one gun, they could hack more. Hell, they could probably make a trigger for more than one to go off...

 

Holy shit, that could work.

 

"Those guns cost more than several small houses! How the fuck could the robots waste it?!" Adrian wailed.

 

Monroe slapped him.

 

"Shut the fuck up, we're gonna hack more, because mister robolord is a fag. Lets get the fuck out of here, and go to the next cannon, which we will prepare for hacking with the press of a button, understand?!"

 

Adrian stood up after a little while "Sounds... good"

 

Monroe patted him on the back "Now, you and shimmer get the fuck to the nearest cannon. I'll meet you there."

 

"But you'll get killed-"

 

"Fuck off!"

 

Adrian didn't wanna argue. It was the best course of action, he and shimmer could get to the cannons much faster than with Monroe with them. He'd survive, he always did...

 

Adrian took off.

 

Monroe sprinted down the street. There weren't many robots still alive round here. They'd been shot by the rogue cannon, or killed in collateral damage by the other cannons. Wasn't like it was a loss.

 

He hid behind a corner as he heard an explosion. He still had to be cautious. 

 

He peered around. Grenades. Machines didn't use frag grenades, they used grenade launchers... Hmm. Maybe another pony...

 

He looked up a little bit. Sure enough, there was a pony!

 

Wow. That was good. He could fully form a posse, and save someone in the process.

 

He sprinted up to another corner. She wasn't a pegasus, how had she got up there?

 

Oh, right, ladders.

 

He looked up, then back down. He walked around the building. There were some turned.

 

...She didn't seem to be the best at throwing grenades. Didn't matter.

 

He pulled out the energy weapon he'd gotten before. Seemed like an EMP.

 

Maybe he'd try it on the turned...

 

He aimed, and fired a few shots. Sure enough, the electrical parts of most of the robots sparked and disabled temporarily.

 

This was... practically lethal to any of them without a brain.

 

He looked up at the pony on the roof, then simply fired at some of the turned with his rifle.

 

He'd talk to her later.

Storm nods slowly "Um..." Storm turns to look at his surroundings "Nope... having got a clue were I'm at..." Storm sighs "However I do know what the area looked like were he was... sort of..." Storm begins twirling his crowbar as he thinks "If I understand correctly I went pretty straight the whole time... I only turned to..." Storm looks at Fleetfire "Yep basically we just go around that corner and then continue down the road... simple enough." Storm makes his way to the corner "You coming?" Storm teases "Or am I too fast?"


Fleetfire wanted to laugh and fire a casual retort back at Storm, but she was too weak to dare. Instead, she acknowledged Storm with a deft nod and gestured down the street. "Shall we?"


((Sorry for such a late reply.))

"Keep up?"

Fleetfire's eyes narrowed. As if I would have trouble keeping up, but then she remembered, with a twinge of pain, the injury she had sustained. She sighed miserably and started down the street on tentative wing-beats. She found the road corner that Storm had mentioned, scanned the shadows for movement and glanced behind her. "Down this way?"

((Everyone, your missing some important parts to your posts... The 'shot at' building just fell, and now the air is temporarily filled with dust from it, and pretty thick too. This will last a few minutes game wise))
Eris ducks down, she shock wave tumbling her sideways.
The air became thick with dust and it also became hard to breathe without caughing and giving her position away. She hurries backwards, barely able to see Ella. "Come here"
She puts a hoof over her mouth and coughed and wheezed, and knew what she had to do to get around now.
Holding Ella's front leg, she sreaches out into the open infront of them, the bounce back of it helping to locate the parasprite that was missing.
"This way"
She hurries with Ella down one of the roads, once in a while screeching ((these screeches are normal bat echolocation noises)).
As they hurry, they come across an odd bounceback lying on the road. The could sense a small, circular form with wings, and confirmed it for the parasprite from before, the distance it was thrown seemed accurate. Beside it, was a body of something. It was a pony, was all she could tell.

After a little bit of waiting, the air started to thin out, and breathing became easier again. She got a good look at the pair on the ground. It was still the same parasprite, and a new brown stallion with orange hair. Her face turns a shade redder, then she shakes it off. "Ella, do you know how to help him? I don't even know what's wrong"


Electron bounded across the buildings, before getting thrown off her hooves by a shockwave of dust. She flips over, rolling into the gravel of one of the roofs.
She lays unconscious in the spot, only for a few minutes.

Ella wipes the tears from her eyes as she looks back at the building.
Goodbye Spark...
She pushed the though to the back of her mind. "Uhm... I might know what's wrong with him. I used to babysit for little fillies and colts so I do know how to fix minor bruises, but I something's broken or he's passed on..," She shuddered then continued,"then there's nothing I can do."
The mare sat down and started to examine the stallion. "Hmm." She hummed.
"His hoof seems to have a big cut in it... I doubt that there are any herbs or bandages nearby... We need a unicorn, but who's seen any of those ponies." Ella sighed and started examining the stallion more.

((hooray for pre-scripted posts))

Orbit came to, the wounded, dust covered pegasus finally waking from his nightmarish slumber. The impact of the gun hadn't killed him, which meant... A quick glance towards the ruined building confirmed his thoughts. The robot had indeed blocked the blast, if it's twisted and charred frame was anything to go by. Still, it would mean that most, if not all the collateral damage would have hit him.

Orbit closed his eyes. The pain was so distant now, it seemed, the sounds he heard muffled and distorted beyond recognition. It would be so easy to just give in, to just brush it off as though it never happened...

A familiar chirp brought the stallion back, reminding him of the situation he was in. If he slept now, chances were that he would never wake, not here in the Hunting Grounds. He shot it a pained glance, before pausing. Were those... voices? It couldn't be, there couldn't be other ponies here. Either way, he knew the look on Muffins's face when he saw it. He staggered to his hooves, attempting to stand up.

They were not alone.

A lance of pain answered him through his damaged forehoof, temporarily turning his distorted world into one of pure agony. Orbit gasped, falling back on his side, feeling the ground welcome him once more. This would not do. Gritting his teeth, he forced his bloodied hoof to engage his companion's sawblade, the parasprite responding with a strange, almost suprised chirp.

If he was going to die, he was going to do it on his own terms.

Seeing the sawblade, Eris backs up a bit.
"Uh, we've got a problem on our hooves"
Confused about what to do, she gets worried.
"Half conscious pony with a sawblade that could be lethal? Uh, bad... Very bad thing"
"If you can hear me, mate, I wouldn't use that sawblade on us here ladies-" she backs up to the nearest wall. "Ella, be careful around him."


"Do you think he might have something to help with the wounds?" She chuckles lightly at the joke. "It's not like he could create new ones or anything..."
She grunts, not sure what to do next. They couldn't leave him, he was injured and needed some help, but he was a danger, and he was alive.
"How long do you think it's gonna take until he realises we're on the good side..?"

((Umm... He didn't grab the blade to commit suicide, he was going to swing it at you... Also, Muffins himself is remote controlled, the hoof-mounted device acts like a remote control, locking the parasprite's movements to that of his hoof, Orbit never actually touched the blade... Also, batting a spinning sawblade isn't the best thing to do, especially when that thing cuts through steel like butter...))

((Further clarification on the remote control thing, when Orbit activates it, Muffins's relative position is taken into account, and from then on the parasprite itself mimics Orbit's hoof movements as though physically attached to his hoof. Muffins cannot overrule the command, and he cannot use it without the device active. In short, Orbit draws his slashes on the ground with his hoof, and Muffins acts them out, but from where Muffins was hovering at that point.))

((EDIT: I read through your post again, I can work around it, minus the self-mutilation bit (He couldn't cut himself if he wanted to, Muffins is a whole two feet away, it would just fly behind him if he tried to cut himself), and treating it as though she was worried about him overexterting himself and opening up his old wounds. However, there's a 20 minute time gap, and I'd rather you change your batting away Muffins to something less... fatal before I post))

((He's the equavalent of a gyroscope with a parasprite hologram, yes. I have his wings physical in this RP to give Orbit at least something to use to defend himself, because as we all know hooves suck at holding anything, Orbit can't shoot a barn door if his life depended on it, and swinging swords using your mouth would give you brain damage. In Muffin's sawblade mode, he basically drops the guise to save power, arranges his four wings in an X shape, and starts spinning like a mad dervish. The wings themselves are enchanted crystal, which enable cutting through steel, but not through other enchantments. They also shatter or crack if hit from the wrong angle.))

The Changed was confused as to what exactly hit it. Only a few minutes before it went to investigate a clanging sound. It's Memory banks remember noticing biological material floating in mid air. Now it was pined to the ground in the center of a deep blue enchantment. As it was stuck it reviewed it's audio recordings, to pinpoint the issue.

 

*Clang* The sound that drew it to that location.

 

"Gravity!" A voice, Gender identification, Female.

 

*Cling* The sound of it's own metallic body slamming against the concrete, trapped in a magical spell.

 

Magic does not last forever, the scan already showed that the spell would disband soon. All was needed now was to wait.

More audio input.

 

"Come on Clockwork, We need to find shelter" The female said.

"Alright, let's go before your spell wears off" A stallion responded.

 

The sound of their hooves falling faded.

Orbit halted, noticing the voices. Robots didn't talk like that... Nor did they back down, now that he thought about it. Not that he was capable of followig his train of thought anymore, he was just too fatigued.

He sighed, disengaging the sawblade. If they hadn't killed him yet, he would live. He was in no condition to fight. Muffins could take care of the conversations.

He closed his eyes, letting his tortured mind rest. He would have need of it later, but for now...

------------------------

Muffins chirped, feeling the induced spin decrease, along with the command's withdrawal. That had been close. Hovering slightly over his resting Handler, the parasprite glanced at the two mares, before landing on Orbit's flank and patting it with a leg, followed by a series of chirps and squeaks. The message would be clear enough, he hoped.

Muffins paused. The blast had damaged his internal gyroscope, apparently. It was off alignment by a whole .3 degrees. It wouldn't affect him much, but It was annoying. He would have to get it checked later.

After the sawblade retreats, Eris calms down.
"Ok, little buddy. Is this your owner here?"
"We're gonna need to help him, if you don't mind."

((Um. I would have some medical supplies in my saddle patch by now :P ))
She brings out the small roll of bandage, and comes over to the stallion cautiously to wrap up his wounds.
"That's the best I can do for now."
She sits back again, waiting for anything new.

((Muffins can't talk in Equestrian, but he can chirp and squeak like a parasprite, as well as project images beside him. He "talks" to Orbit by having a notification pop up beside in front of Orbit, followed by mostly pictures and files. Also, Muffins IS the sawblade, The parasprite uses his wings as the blades.))

Muffins chirped in response, hovering slightly away from Orbit as the mare tended to his wounds. Sending a query to the skies above, it quickly realized that it's sole controlled satelite was below the horizon now. It was going to have to fly blind, so to speak.

Returning to where the charred robotic husk lay, Muffins gave the wreckage a quick glance. The blade that had proved to be it's equal was useless now, the iron saber broken in two, it's enchantment gone.

However...

Muffins flew back to Orbit, before looking at the mare. He pointed towards the device on the pegasus's hoof, chirping. He quickly followed this up with a barrage of blueprints and specifications, before pausing. Would she understand it?

He waited. Still no response from the mare besides a stunned, blank look from the information overload. He squeaked.

Well, it was worth a shot.

He pointed to Orbit's device again, then to his projected leg. Having done that, he proceeded to buzz, spinning around in a crude replica of his earlier sawbladed form.

Perhaps this was easier to understand? The mare had no visible weapons as far as he could tell, and Orbit wasn't going to wake up anytime soon.

Which meant, till he woke up, Muffins would try to cover his back as best as it could, even if it meant giving control over to another pony.

"I think we should wash the wound first... Do you have any water?" She searched around in her saddle bag for a while. Suddenly the little parasprite came buzzing to her and seemed as I she was speaking to her, but Ella definately wasn't the smartest.
"Uh... You want us to get him a weapon?" She asked.

There was a body that it was at before. A changed lying beaten up on the ground.
It's blade was snapped in two.

"You wouldn't tell me all that for no reason...
Are you telling one of us to take that device from his hoof and use it? Control you?
Or fix you? No... I think I know... Just don't hurt me if I'm wrong mate..."

She huddles back over to orbit, once in a while eyeing the parasprite.
She holds up his hoof carefully, and looks at the parasprite again. " warn me if I'm wrong.."
((Am I supposed to take it off? Anyways, how?))

((It's a hoof mounted device, Orbit's wearing it as if it was a horseshoe. Turning one's hoof sideways and back will trigger the mechanism, and flicking it will turn it off.))

Muffins squeaked, flying over to Orbit. Tapping the device again, he pointed at the mare's hoof, before cocking his head repeatedly, as if demonstrating how it was activated.

The crumbled facade of the nearby building caved in, revealing the sensor eye of yet another sentry. It focused on the trio, flashing red. Crawling out of the rubble, it chittered, brandishing yet another enchanted rapier, spinning it in complex patterns.

Muffins squeaked again, knocking the device off Orbit's hoof and pushig it toawrds the mare. He didn't have enough time to teach them, it seemed. The signal had been sent too early.

The chances of another sentry arriving had been small, but Muffins had long predicted it's possibility, even before the first one died. It was a shame it took so long to get messages across to ponies.

The parasprite turned to face the sentry, hissing. According to the analysis he had made of the ragtag group's combat capababilities, there was not a chance they would survive this encounter. However, with the added data he had aquired from his last encounter with this robot, he could potentially turn the tide.

That is, if the mare could wise up and take the hint fast enough...

((He foresaw this encounter ages ago, it's all part of the plan. It all hinges on you now...))

((One thing you guys keep forgetting (Or your OC's don't know), is that machines are never "stupid", in that sense. To them, this is just a giant board of chess, with Muffins as a player and the Manehattem Maneframe as the other. They think fast enough, improvise fast enough and strategize far enough that each move, however stupid it seems, will play out in the long run. The only things we as living beings can count on to NOT be factored is our unpredictable nature. Muffins knew the instant Orbit fought the first sentry that another would be called, but Orbit managed to destroy the sentry by blocking it with a gun round. At the same time, the Maneframe knew that a pony was probably going to do something with it's gun, considering the angles, so it sent the signal BEFORE the sentry did, effectively outplaying Muffins. Knowing a sentry was most likely on the way, and that Orbit was headed for the source of some gunfire, Muffins used the resulting noise to hopefully draw the attention of the other group, who would hopefully be able to use him to defend Orbit against the sentry.
The explosion of the tower was not factored untill it was too late, thus resulting in Muffins's grim nod towards the Maneframe a few posts back, but he used it to direct you towards Orbit, so it was a win-win. You never actually did anything except play as a chess piece in the robotic game of war.))

((Thing is, if robots were to take over the world, that's pretty much exactly what would happen. We would never be able to out think or out strategize them, they would just always win. The only card we would have against them is our gut feeling, our instincts. That is what makes this RP dangerous. Not the robots, but the fact that you're just playing a piece in the midst of a chessboard, controlled by Celestia knows who.))

Eris was surprised when the device was pushed onto her hoof.
She turns her hoof over to check the fit, then back again.
She didn't expect much to happen, but she definitely felt like something happened when she did that.
((I'm flying blind here, into the complicated mess of your parasprite-hologram-horseshoe-thing...
Can you PM me or something with some details to know what his capabilities are? I don't even understand it lol))
((Oh, and by doing that movement, do I turn it on, or does that sawblade turn on?))

She looks up, and a red sensor light catches her eye.
"Ella, grab the boy, grab your things, and get your ass up and ready because our chances of living have just been deminished"

how does this thing work?! What do I do?
How do I do that thing he did before?
Will he be ok with this?

He might die before he ever finds out...
Shit

((My thought process is rather... chaotic for someone my age. It's the reason why I don't have my characters talk much. Also the reason why I don't talk much IRL either.))

((The gist of it is, Muffins is a machine. He is made up of two metal rings, one inside the other. At the centre of it is a crystal sphere, which he uses to store data, as well as run calculations. The core also constantly absorbs power from the envrioment, which it then uses to send a continuous magical pulse to the inner ring.))

((The innermost metal ring houses the gyroscopes, three metal cubes that fit inside the ring to detect pitch, yaw and roll, as well as momentum. These in turn are linked to three magical field projectors, which continually cast a levitation spell on the whole structure according to the balance of the gyroscopes. Besides that, the inner ring also serves as a magical-mechanical switch, converting the core crystal's pulses into mechanical commands akin to those of a computer. By interpreting these commands, Muffins is able to control his actions, as well as being able to fly, by using the magical pulse to offset the gyroscopes.))

((The outer ring is a projector, housing the spells that enable Muffins to keep his guise as a parasprite. Besides that, it also diverts some of the energy to create a small shield barrier around himself, preventing overly curious ponies from accidentally sticking a hoof into his system. This ring also houses the system that controls the four crystal wings Muffins has, directing them to match the gyroscopes in the inner ring. This is more for asthetic purposes mostly, but in this RP the wings actually play a more important purpose.))

((Now, Muffins's wings are made of a light blue crystal, similar to the one at his core. However, these crystals are honed to be very, very sharp, and have an enchantment applied on them to prevent them from wearing out. Being crystal, they will shatter if hit at the wrong angle, so Muffins usually directs the angle of the sawblade whereas the device merely controlls Muffin's position.))

((Now, on to the device. It is a simple metal ring that one can hold on to as if it was a horseshoe, and it's function is equally simple. Activating it by means of tapping or twisting your hoof will send a wireless signal to Muffins, effectively giving you remote control of the parasprite's movements. You move your hoof to move him, and your hoof's relative position and angle is mapped on to Muffins. Muffins, on the other hand, will go into a self induced spin, while aligning all four of his wings so that the cutting edge faces one side, that is, the side of rotation. This is the actual "sawblade" I was talking about. While in this mode, Muffins has no control over anything but the tilt of the sawblade, and since he is linked to your hoof via remote control, anything you do with your hoof he will copy.))

((The foreshadowing concept is simple, at least from my perspective. Muffins is calculating many, many times faster than a normal human can think. Therefore, for every second that passes by for a human, Muffins would have had the human equivalent of 10 minutes to think. This vast amount of free time, so to say, while waiting for your next response is used to plan ahead, to think about what would happen next, how long would that take, and so on.))

((if you need anything else explained, please poke me about it. Muffins's character and pretty much a large chunk of his specifications I have yet to actually try out RP-wise, so bear with me.))

((How the hell did you come up with that anyways... Nvm))

As the parasprite starts to turn rapidly like it did before, Eris remembered back to some of those awesome sci-fi movies she remembers watching.
The ability to control a robot with your own movement.

She tests this out, and throws a fist at the air, and the parasprite follows, the sawblade cutting the air.

Ohoho
Awesome...


The sentry comes out from the darkness of the hole, and it's eye targets the three.
((Hm. Was that other one before a Changed?))
((Because changed have two eyes... And are part robot.))
((Cybernauts (the originals) have one red light for an eye behind shaded glass.

((For purposes of difficulty, they can all put up a good fight, but you have to destroy the circuitry located behind the eye(s) (like a brain), then they die.))

As it comes closer, she hands Ella one of her guns, and the other she aims at the robot with her free hoof.

"Um. Hey bro" she fist bumps the Changed jokingly, cutting some of the metal plating on its chest. It growls, and throws her arm to the side, punching her hard in the stomach.
"Ow.. Good arm there. Mind if I test mine?"
She smacks the parasprite's sawblade up under it's chin, the Changed squeaking in surprise, delaying it's processes for a few seconds as it changes to only it's robot mode.

This robot had seemed to take over a buffer pony, and was much stronger and deadly.
It pics her up, and throws her at the ground a metre or so behind the stallion.
She lies there in shock, her head hurting like mad. She takes her gun from before, and sends a bullet at its head, dinting the metallic covering on half it's face. She grunts, and hopes that she can send the sawblade at him from afar.
She slowly gets up, checks herself for injuries, then runs up to the robot, up the wall, and she pounces at it with all her weight and the device pointed straight for the circuitry.

Now only if this works...

((Should I be able to?))

((Don't even know...))
Ella picked up the stallion and put him on her back as if she were giving him a piggy back ride.
Its times like this I'm glad I've worked on a farm for most of m life...

She gladly took the gun from Eris watching her fight the robot. I dot want to shoot Eris... I just won't shoot until she needs help.
Ella called herself and looked around. Nopony was around, thankfully.

The couple uncloaked once inside a more stable building. Weaver collapsed.

 

"You gonna be alright?" Clockwork said, concerned.

 

"Yeah, just- thaumatic materials are not very common in normal construction."

Clockwork nodded. "And without that, we can't create any ALICE cores."

 

Weaver nodded, standing up. "First we need to find a relatively safe place we can stay to create a Thaum generator.

 

Clockwork smiled and nodded. "Which I know how to do, although we will need some components from those Changed."

Weaver nodded. "Clockwork, I need you to take a thread from the invisibility cloak, I'll remove the cloaking spell and replace it"

 

Clockwork raised a brow. "Why remove the invisibility?"

Weaver grinned. "I want the enchantment that I'll be putting on it to be at it's most powerful state."

 

"Okay then." Clockwork sat down and began the job of removing a single thread.

((The one Orbit fought is more or less a sphere on legs, controlling a hovering mageblade. The blade itself is enchanted to the same level as Muffin's own enchantment, meaning it cannot be cut by the parasprite, and vice versa. Orbit blinded it by slashing it's eye out, then finally letting the magical anti-air gun do the rest. And yes, the Changed don't have enchanted plating, so it IS a very effective weapon.))

Muffins took a milisecond, recalibrating the blade as the mare brought him around for another swing, this time a thrust aimed right for the cyborg's chest.

This was going to be fun.

The sawblade tore through the metal skin, boring deep into the steel and flesh that was within, the parasprite tearing through organic material as though it was mere tissue paper. Severing the board that hosted the changed's neural circuits, Muffins continued out in a bloody arc, finally emerging from the flank of the changed, the parasprite taking a moment to decelerate.

The turned collapsed in a heap behind him, twitching.

((For me, they're made sometimes of iron, sometimes of steel, depending on the class, but the more advanced ones might have aluminium or even enchanted plates as covering. The latter pose a serious threat to Muffins own wings, because if you hit a higher level enchantment with a lower level one, the lower level one will break first, and there's usually no way of telling until it's too late.))

Shimmerspeed flew in the direction that Adrian pointed in, shooting the very few robot parts that may be healing themselves with magic. She sensed a flying bot pursuing them, spun around and shot at it a few times. It eventually gave up the ghost. She heard the whirring of more robots about 2 streets away. She flew back to Adrian with the gun still in her hoof.

"We'd better get a move on. There's more robots less than a mile away, come on!"

Adrian looked at her "there's robots less than 2 dozen meters away, but I guess your logic works as well"

He flew near to the gun, landed and quickly scurried into the bunker.

Several prototype robots were on display. They werent functioning, even if they had all the components ready. Adrian himself just walked to the console at the end wall and planted a number of devices at several areas. He fiddled with them for at least 5 minutes, then said to Shimmer "hey, there should be a robot with a tv screen where it's head should be. Oh, and it has a wheel for movement. Open the back of it, and pull out the box that says "securOS PC" , alright?"

"This the right one?"

Shimmer winced at the memory of watching her parents and loved ones be killed when the mayor had said the same thing to the worried townsponies hours before.
She shook off that thought, returned to her brave and strong self and zoomed after Adrian.

"So what enchantment?" Clockwork asked, holding up the two meter long thread in his magical field.

Weaver smiled. "We need metal, and those Changed are the best source around. So we need a quick and efficient way of deactivating them, as well as a way to gather material from them."

 

Clockwork started to grin, understanding now. "It will be very dangerous."

 

"True, but when has danger ever stopped you?" Weaver responded.

 

"Good point."

 

And with that, Weaver added two enchantments onto the thread.

The two finally come to a stop, but a few streets down. The stallion was still being helped along.
"If we've already met all these ponies, there's bound to be more around here somewhere"
((Anybody else want to meet up with them?))

Electron gets up, groggily, as her brain switches from a killer headache and a dull emotionless hollow. The robot is pissed off inside her head.
"That was your fault! You didn't calculate that would happen, did you? No, you didn't. It's my turn again."
The Changed stands up, not in pain. It runs and jumps onto the next building, chasing signals of any organics.
((You can meet up and battle with Electron. Anyone?))

James wakes up, rubble all around him, He growls, and an echo goes across the small destroyed apartment he was in. "Ahhh.." He covers his eyes, not wanting to get up. He turns and shakes, trying to get in a comfortable position yet again.. After a few minutes he hears something move and a strange hum, obviously from a robot.

He bolts awake, a bit dizzy, he grabs his saddlebag and looks around, he growls "Whos there.." He asks with a shaky, fearfull voice.

Orbit stirred, slowly coming back to his senses. Muffins chirped in response, hovering to where the wounded pegasus lay, draped over the mare's back.

The parasprite gave a glance at the ragtag team, squeaking twice. It pointed a leg at the device the other mare was wearing, gesturing at her to take it off.

Orbit suddenly twitched, reacting to his surroundings. The last he remembered was the sentry-

The stallion hit the floor, his jerk having rolled him off where he had been slung. Orbit shook his head, disorientated.

"Where... is this?"

Monroe had given up on the girl.

She'd run off after a few minutes, and he'd just about done killing the robots in the area.

He took a look with some thermal goggles he'd found in some spy shop to see if there were any more turned in the area.

Nope, nope, nope and... Yes

Actually nope. It looked like a pony. No greyed out parts, just flesh and blood.

That was pretty good.

He ran in this pony's general direction, prepared for if they tried to harm him.

Eris became surprised when the stallion came to.
"Manehattan. We're in Manehattan...?' She says, becoming confused telling him.
maybe this pony's got amnesia or something
She sees the parasprite gesture the device, and she takes it off her hoof, not sure if she wanted to give it back to him, seeing from what he did before.
"Here. Your device thingie... But you gotta promise me you won't try to kill us again with it for no reason."


Electron slows down to a stop, and scans the ground bellow for any life forms. As if a gift to her eyes, there were two organics standing, arguing somewhat. The first seemed agrivated by the other, and the other wasn't too sure how to react.
The red lights on her head plate turn blue, and the changed is drowned out.
"Don't do it. You know this is our first, right...?"
It turns red again.
"I did expect that. But if you leave it to me we have a better chance of surviving this battle."
She creeps down the side of the building, virticaly walking down like a spider. ((Exorcist lol)) It's not often that they do this stuff, but only the unicorns could, using levitation on themselves, since the Changed enhanced their abilities.
((I expect to not die lol))
The red lights on her head plate started to dull, making sure she didn't stand out; a new update.
She brings out the enchanted blade most of her kind had, and walks forward slowly, barely able to be heard, front legs poised to slash.
The lights flicker blue for a second, and back again red.
NO!! Don't do it! I don't want to die!!

Monroe started walking

"come on whatever your name is, we got places to be"

He took a little look about. He'd gotten used to looking about a lot since the robots showed up.

He didn't notice the turned, but he was ready for anything.

Meanwhile, Adrian flew around with Shimmer behind him.

He hadn't seen Monroe, but it didn't matter, once he'd finished he'd radio Monroe and they'd reverse the guns.

After a little bit of flying, he'd seen Monroe, with another pony.

He decided to wait around a little while.

The cannons weren't going anywhere.
