Phantom War I: Rise of the Consortium

Odin Test Run

The next day…

Me, Duran, Meta, and Lightning arrived to the Mega Factory. Adjutant had to show us 2 things. When we came to the chambers were at, I saw a lavender unicorn there. My eyes narrowed because she looked a lot like Twilight. However, it was short lived when ‘Twilight’ turned to us, revealing she was robotic.

The Android said “You like our new appearance?”

“Adjutant?” I asked, uncertain

The robot nods in response.

Adjutant said “I thought about the possibly for me to walk and talk like you. While my primary core is downloaded in this body, it was a Protoform without a body to take form of. So, I decided Miss Sparkle would make it more….suitable, for this situation.”

“So, is the Odin ready for testing?” I asked

Adjutant nods and she turns to look at the Odin. It had its cockpit open for the driver.

Adjutant said “We require a pilot for it.”

“Meta….I think you will do.”

Meta replies, surprised at my request “Me? Really?”

“Yes. I do better on the ground with my lightsabers out. You, on the other hoof, need a Blaster or Vibrosword to fight back. So, why not let my 2nd in command have the beast?” I replied

Meta replied in a prideful tone “I would be honored.”

“Go ahead and give it a try.” I said, giving him a little push.

Meta nods and goes to the cockpit and sat on the chair of it. He sees a lot of controls, switches, and some other stuff. Adjutant pulls out a devise that she invented. She called it; The Nervegear. It would connect you to the machine and your very thoughts would be the machine’s command. She managed to make the devise for it to connect to ponies and changelings alike. Meta puts it on and connected it to the machine.

Meta ask “How do I activate it?”

Adjutant answers “Just say “Start” and you will control the Odin with your thoughts and commands.”

Meta nods and lies back on the chair.

Meta said “Start.”

The glass screen, which I called: a visor, activated and Meta began to blink to the colored around him. Suddenly, the Odin comes to life and the cockpit closes and it goes to its full height.

“How is it Meta?” I ask

Meta replied “It’s awesome! All systems are green. Weapons are ready to destroy some structures.”

“Alright, I think we should test it then give it some real practice.”

Adjutant nods and she points at the wall. There, we saw a lot of target markers.

Adjutant said “Shoot those with the Odin’s cannons.”

Meta took aim for those markers and fires the cannons. Those markers blew holes through them and I whistled in impressive.

“Now THAT is a weapon of destruction. Adjutant, you did well to make the Odin.” I said, confident.

Adjutant replied “Thank you. How about we test it for real?”

“Agreed.”


Later…at a Griffin city.

The Griffins soldiers were patrolling and radioing in to each other.

1 of the griffin soldiers reporting back to his commanding officer “No sign of activity here, si-“

The transmission began to static and he lost the transmission. Suddenly, they heard some ground ‘thumps’ like giant footsteps. The Griffin soldiers looked and see a war machine heading their way. They took into gun positions and fired, only for the attacks to do nothing against the machine. It got close enough and fire it’s cannons and it killed anyone within the blast instantly. The Odin kept walking and stopped at the gate.

Meta said “Time to kick flank and chew bubblegum.”

He blasted down the gates and charged the Odin through. AATs position themselves to fire at the Odin. When it came into their firing range, they opened fire. However, it seemed to be that the Odin had a deflector shield on it.

Meta said “Alright, my turn. Oh, what’s this? Power Attack: Barrage? Let’s see what that is.”

Meta activated the power attack and the back cannons rose up and the Odin lower down to the ground while the cannons came onto its shoulders and began to blast away at the AATs. They were destroyed in the attack and when the power attack finished, the cannons return to normal and Meta was greatly impress that a weapon like this had such a powerful attack.

Meta said, impressed with the firepower “Now THAT was awesome. It’s no wonder that King Talon wanted this built. The Equestrian armies would be eradicated against this thing.”

Comm. channel to him and said “Well, we did upgraded it a bit. Those shields weren’t supposed to be with the designs but I had Adjutant add that key to it, making it deadly. Not to mention, the Mandalorian iron we added to it was practically making it too powerful.”

Meta asked “Mandalorian Iron?”

“Yes. You see, a cargo ship accidently crashed with that alloy. We were lucky to have found it. It had enough alloy to make it for only the Odin. So, lightsaber attacks won’t faze the machine. You are practically unstoppable with that machine.” I replied

Meta kept to his attack. The Shields kept the Odin protected from attacks. The Griffins sent Hailfire Droids, AATs, even some Homing spider droids couldn’t stop the advancing Odin. Meta was rapidly approaching the base until the red alert button was beeping.

Meta said “Radar is picking up some Frigates heading my way. They are getting serious now.”

Adjutant said on her Comm. channel “The Odin was built with Anti-aircraft missiles but they are not as powerful as the cannons. So, aircraft ships are pretty much the Odin’s weakness. Not even those ships can protect the Odin.”

I said on my comm. channel “Alright, time to send those reinforces for you.”

3 Munificent-class star frigates began to advance to the Odin. However, before they even could fire, they began to attacked themselves. Several Vengeance-class frigates decloaked from out of nowhere and began to open fire at the 3 Munificent Frigates. The Odin kept moving forward.

Meta asks “Alright, I’m about to hit their base- Wait, what’s this skull?”

Adjutant replies “That is a Nuclear Strike from the Odin’s ultimate attack. It can annihilate cities or fortresses within a matter of seconds. The Odin won’t be fazed by the attack.”

Meta smiled very evilly and activated the Nuclear Strike attack. The Nuke left the hatched from the Odin’s back and began to make its way up to orbit and back down. The Vengeance Frigates began to retreat at the nuke launch. The nuke its target and a giant explosion occurred. When the smoke cleared, the fortress was destroyed. The 3 enemy frigates were destroyed in the process.

Meta said out loud “Hey Lord Danny, this machine was worth the wait! I can’t wait to storm the capital now!”

I chuckle at what I just heard and smiled.

“Alright Meta, return home. I think we can call this a major victory for the Consortium.”

Meta began to leave the fortress and head back to base.
