I woke up to the sound of alarms. "Huh? QVI, whats going on?" I asked the A.I.
The Ponies From Earlier Are Outside. Get In Quickly So We Can Head To The Newly Completed Base. Getting up off the floor, I quickly rushed to get in the suit. "Ok, take me to the base" Command Acknowledged. Walking to the nearby wall, the ACU walked right through it. "Do you think the ponies will question that?" Most Probably. But No Time To Fix That. "Correct."
There was nothing. the sounds have stopped. "What?" I said confused. "Zecora? Where are you?"
"Don't Worry Mrs. Sparkle, though I might, have had a markle."
"What why?" Rainbow asked. "Was it with that sound we heard?"
"Sound?" Zecora asked, tilting her head, "I think you must be mistaken, I heard no sounds. Though my breathe has been taken." She added with a whisper. Looking around the place, I gasped has I saw a gaping hole in the wall. "Whats wrong Sugar-" Applejack stopped as she also saw the hole. "What in Equestria made this here hole?!" She yelled, pointing to the wall.
"I don't know Applejack, but I'm about 99% sure it was also what caused the noise we were hearing." I explained.
"YAY!" Pinkie yelled. "More getting lost in the forest!" I blushed. "Ok. Come on girls," I said, then turning to Zecora, "Sorry Zecora, but we must follow."
"That's ok Mrs. Sparkle, I'll stay here and try and return the wall to its natural state." She said, waving goodbye. I nodded and turned to the girls. "Alright, let's go!"
After seven-teen minuets, I saw, a building, it was an UEF Air factory. Ok Commander, We Have Arrived At The Temporary Base. Walking into the base, the Aeon and UEF ACUs. Looking around, I saw that the base was a combination of UEF and Aeon construction. It was a nice idea, buildings from both factions. Commander, This ACU Needs To Add Its Constructions To The Base So I Suggest Getting Out Of This ACU And Into Another One./i] Getting out of the Cybran ACU, I walked to the others, thinking for a while, I decided to get in the Aeon ACU.Hello Commander The Aeon Suit Is Different From The Cybran Suit, Same With The A.I Names. I Am Called QVW, Here To Assist You. Looking at the controls, I saw that, despite the different faction, I saw that the buttons were different also. I'm gonna have to learn the buttons again apparently.
After a tour of the buttons, besides the big red one, because I don't want the sound the sound that it produces while charging up to attract any attention, I moved the ACU to the center of the base and saw, a giant building (Not any tech 3s, all the base is tech 1 as of now.) It was completely blue with some green and white in it. "What is this building?" I asked. This Building Is The Sleeping Quarters. This Is Where You Will Sleep And Where The ACUs Will Rest Unless On High Alert. That sounds comforting. Since You Wasn't Able To Completely Sleep, You Are Able To Sleep There With Me There With You Tonight. "What about the other two?" I asked. They Will Patrol The Base During The Night. "Ok." I said. *yawn* "Ok well, let's go to bed."
"Twilight darling, are you sure your horn is pointing us in the right direction?" Rarity asked. I groan. "Yes of course Rarity, having a cutie mark for magic gives me a pretty good reason that my horn is pointing us in the right direction."
"Oh of course deary, I'm just wondering if there was a different way through the Everfree." Rarity said.
"Now there wasn't." I said to her, "Now come on! We are getting close."
I woke up, not because of an alarm, but for what, I don't know. "QVW." I said to the Aeon ACU, "Let's go." Of Course Commander. Climbed into the suit, and went on our way.
"Hmmm..." I said to myself, "I just noticed that everything here is mostly Tech 1. Why is that?" Well Commander, It Was To Save On Time, The Purpose Of Protocol 1-47B Was To Build A Simple, Defend Able, And Functional. Some Things Were Made Into Tech 2 For Either Defending Purposes, Or Economy Purposes. So There Are Some Shields, Tech 2 And 1 Land And Air Defenses, With Some Torpedoes In The Nearby Pond. "How come no Tech 3's?" I asked. Simply, Because Of Time. Looking around, I saw units of all types, Mini Titans, Tanks, Anti Air, Amphibious Tanks, Motors, and more, wandering around. "What if someone actually comes close?" I asked nervous, "What will happen to them?" If Someone Actually Comes Close, We Will Identify Them With Vision, And If They Are Not Poines, We Will Open Fire On Them. Ponies As Of Now Are Considered Neutral. But We Will Fire Close To Them To Try And Scare Them Off, If You Give Us Permission. If They Retaliate, We Will Open Fire On Them Too, Unless We Can Make out On Some Form Of Agreement. "That's good to know." I said. Looking at the Strategic View I saw six white dots approaching. Opening up the commands, I said "Alright, we have visitors, do NOT open fire unless they fire first. Got it?" AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDER The ACUs all said. Just then, I activated the alarms.
"Uhhg!" Rainbow said, with dissatisfaction, "Are we almost there?" She landed besides me. I rolled my eyes, then looked at my horn, "Yes Rainbow, we are almost there."
"Hey ya Twilight," Applejack said coming to a complete stop then pointing ahead of her, "What are those things?" Looking to where she was pointing, I gasped. There was these building, with little defects on the front which made it look like they were pointing at something. There was also a kind of barrier surrounding those buildings and it looked like it was being projected from a much larger building behind them. "I don't know AJ." I said, actually scared. "How should I know? I don't even know if they will attack!"
"Well if they do..." Rainbow said flying with her front hooves out ready to hit something, "they won't here the end of it."
"Calm down Rainbow." I started, "It doesn't appear that they are..." I heard a loud alarm sound. Just then, the buildiings all snapped up to then point at all of us, except for two that are pointing to the sky. "...hostile..." I finished, focusing my horn to ready a shield. "Ok everyone." I heard, "Let's not get over ourselves right now." Coming up from behind the buildings was not one, but three...things, one was mostly blue, another was mostly green, and the last was mostly red, the things had both of their front, thingies pointing forwards." Just then, the alarm stopped, but the other buildings were still pointing at us. "Let's try and talk before my defenses kill all six of you." The voice came from the green one. Looking at the thing's left leg, I saw that it was glowing. I quickly put up my shield around me and the girls.
