“Relax there, sugarcube. It's alright now, ya ain't gotta say nothin else.”
Big Mac watched silently as his wife comforted Jynx. He couldn't imagine what kind of horrors she experienced. What ever it was it was enough to shake the resolve of such a strong mare. He watched as she climbed into that magic metal man of hers. The hatch shut and it came to life, stretching and flexing. The big red farm pony never understood how those contraptions work, but he didn't need to. The important thing was they worked.
“Ya ready, sugar lips?” AJ said with a gentle kiss.
“Eeyep.” He answered, pulling his heavy crossbow and loading it.
“After this mess is over why don't you and I head ta the barn.” She said seductively.
“Yes ma'am.” Big Mac said excitedly.
“They're coming.” Jynx's voice boomed from the mech.
He watched her draw that big shiny sword and shoot forward. The big monster she hit fell in half with ease. He didn't have time to marvel at the behemoth as several shorter creatures that walked on two legs like those human things that Shiro was on Earth, except they were shorter than the muscular stallion. Without missing a beat, three bolts found the chests of the imps as Big Mac fired his heave crossbow and Applejack launched death from her twin hoof crossbows.
“You two take care of the little ones.” Jynx said to them, “I got the bruisers.”
“Way ahead of ya!” AJ shouted.
His bow was too slow to fire off more than two more volleys before he had to rear up on his hind legs and draw his claymore. He Slashed and cleaved the evil critters until he was having trouble walking around without stepping on the dead AJ was staying behind, firing bolts into the advancing demons. There were even a few earth ponies and unicorns among them; evil ponies that met their fate long ago. The earth ponies weren't a problem for Big Mac as he was freakishly strong even for an earth pony. The unicorns, however, posed a problem. Jynx placed an magic resistance spell on the two but they still had to watch out.
Suddenly the whole place shook, causing Big Mac to drop back to all four, dropping his sword.
“You are the one!” A voice roared out, “You killed my favorite son! I can still smell the blood of Nidhogg on you.”
Big Mac looked toward the source of the voice just in time to move out of the way before a massive metal object slammed down where he was standing moments ago. It was weapon of Jynx's, the one that shots light. He looked at it for a few moments.
“Mac!” AJ yelled out, “We got a problem!”
He looked back at her. She had put away her bows and drew her hoof axes and was cleaving skulls without trouble. His eyes were drawn to the three figures behind her.
“Jynx is busy with that big scary feller!” The mare shouted.
Big Mac's eyes furrowed, “Ah got'em”
The big red stallion reached a hoof up and slid a pin from his yolk. Applejack's eyes widened when she saw what he was doing and scrambled to get out of his way. He lifted the yolk off his head and dropped it to his side. Most ponies think it's just an accessory he likes to wear, but that's not really the case. The thing was an artifact from an age long passed when slavery was still practiced.
The first troll reached the Pony and raised a massive stone club that was bigger than the stallion. Big Mac stood there glaring at the invader as if he didn't even care about the ridiculously big weapon. The stone hammer dropped strait down with the intent to make Big Mac a little smaller. What the creature didn't expect was the club to be caught with a single hoof. The farmer yanked the weapon down and brought the other hoof up to the creatures face. The massive thing flew several hundred feet away.
Big Mac was never one to brag even though he could. He even let Shiro think he was a little stronger than him, but even with that belt of his he couldn't come close. That yolk of his was the only thing that kept his strength under control. It was made as a disciplinary measure for earth pony slaves. Even the strongest pony couldn't even lift their own weight. Some ponies were even crushed to death by their own body. But Big Macintosh was not an ordinary earth pony. He didn't know why he was so strong, but it didn't matter to him. He had it and dealt with it when he needed to.
The super equine stallion lifted the trolls weapon and charged at the other two. The other troll was met with a quick end at the hooves of the mighty country colt as the stone was shattered against it's skull. The other was a bigger problem. The ogre stood twice as tall as the trolls and it's strength was sure to match.
“Applejack, ya good?” Asked Big Mac.
“I'm just dandy, Sweetums.” She called from somewhere behind, “These critters ain't nothin compared to them things that the princesses' daddy had runnin around.”
“Good, cause Im'ma be a mite busy with this bigg'un.”
The big red stallion charged the great beast, his hooves cracking the ground with every stride. The creature dropped a massive fist that dwarfed the pony. Big Mac hopped to the left, allowing the appendage to miss him by mere inches. Before the ogre could retract it's hand, though, Big Mac wrapped his fore hooves around it's wrist and with a yell, threw the thing into a nearby hill beside a boulder. The stallion then decided to see which would break first, the boulder or the ogres skull... turns out they both break after one strike.
“Do you know who I am!” Yelled Typhon as he faced a one armed gundam, “I am Typhon, Father of Monsters. You are a sniveling little mortal in a fancy suit of armor. You can not defeat me.”
Big Mac could tell Jynx wasn't doing too good at the moment. He looked over to AJ and saw she had finished off the last of the smaller ones. Then he noticed something. Jynx's rifle was still laying where she had dropped it.
Big Mac ran down to his wife and told her, “She's gonna be needin this thing if she's gonna win.”
They both looked back at the sound of tearing metal and saw the massive beast ripping the head of Jynx's machine. Big Mac's blood boiled. He wasn't going to just stand there while one of his friends get's killed. He grabbed hold of the massive cannon and lifted with all his might. The ground benieth his hooves cracked and cratered as it slowly began to give way.
“YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!
The barrel of the weapon swung around and trained right on the titan.
“AJ! HIT IT!” Big Mac yelled.
The orange mare jumped up and kicked out at the trigger. The sky lit up in a blinding flash as The big red Hercules struggled to hold the weapon. The blast of light struck Typhon in the midsection and separated the demon from himself.
With a heave, he threw the gun aside and ran to the trapped unicorn. He dug his hoof into the metal and peeled it away like a piece of tissue.
“You all right Mrs. Charm?” He called into the darkness.
“Mac, is that you?” Came the reply
“Eeyep. Yer safe now. Come on.” He said and helped her from the wreckage.
