***PROCEEDING...
The ponies and Titan stood frozen, staring at each other silently, the fleshy eyes gazing into the empty, deep blue haze of the metal eye. They held their breath, hoping that the lack of respiration would prevent any sudden, and potentially dangerous, event from occurring.
The sun continued to shine. A bird chirped nearby. Leaves floated across.
Absolutely nothing happened.
So it may not come as a surprise that the ponies would break the highest recorded jumping record when the machine exploded with a screeching sound, which morphed into an ominous voice they could not understand for their lives, which under the circumstances could be quite possible.
They turned their heads away squinting their eyes, and covered their ears with their hooves, attempting to analyze what the bucking Equestria was going on.
After a little while, the blaring finally stopped, and the frozen charade resumed, except with an extremely dazed Mane Six.
Applejack whispered next to Twilight.
"Uh, Twi? Y-Ya know what that thang s-said?"
Twilight slowly shook her head in fright, not knowing what would follow.
And as if fate wanted to answer her question, the Titan raised its box...
...and marched straight towards them.

Oh Celestia oh Celestia please don't let me die please don't let me die no no no don't kill me don't kill me don't kill me...
Too afraid to process the last five seconds, to the Mane Six, it seemed as if the machine suddenly teleported RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEIR FACES.
It towered above them, easily several times their height. Within a few feet of crushing them, it stopped, then looked downwards, its subjugating glare mentally crushing their soul.
The friends all had their butts to the ground, Fluttershy hopelessly bawling her eyes out below her friends, shuddering like never before. Twilight was naturally shoved to the front of the pack, forced to bear the full thing exposed, with nothing between her and a few dozen tons of raw power. She had given up on breathing a while ago, tears beginning to form on her eyes.
This was the end. She knew it. All hope of focusing on her magic was gone. Escape was impossible.
Flashes of her family, friends, thing she did in life, and thing she would later not get the chance to do began to fill her mind.
But all of this was suddenly blown away when she and her friends heard Pinkie Pie shout something incoherent, as their brains were recovering from being traumatized. The machine finally rose up, and turned around to face the source of the speaker, who had somehow appeared several meters behind it.
"Hey! Stop being a meanie to my friends! I know you type of ponies, or things, or whatever you are! You just need something to cheer your angry little face!" she said, and promptly threw a pie towards it, much to the dismay of all their friends.
