//------------------------------// // Titan, Engaging (Fo Reelz Nao) // Story: TitanFall, TitanFail. // by Siiver7 //------------------------------// "NOOO!" All of Pinkie's friends screamed in despair as her party cannon fired, sending what appeared to be a massive cake towards the Titan's rotating eyeball. A siren blared from the Titan, and it proceeded to lift up its arm to do what it had done previously, but it failed to bring it all the way up to the cake's flight path. The cake smashed into the blue-glowing camera, blocking all light coming off of it. The eyeball twirled around in its socket, attempting to clear the debris, to no avail. The Titan instinctively took a step back, and all the ponies behind it bailed, their tails narrowly being crushed and pinned, giving a yelp in panic. The Titan took a fearsome demeanor, its legs balanced and body shifted forwards, ready to charge or block. It lifted its cannon, ready to shoot. After recovering, their friends looked up. Too much was happening for them to fully comprehend the situation, too busy being traumatized or running for their lives. But what they saw next filled them with blood-curling horror. ***TITAN ENGAGING HOSTILE SIGNATURES ***WARNING--INCOMING PROJECTILE FIRED FROM CANNON -Activating Vortex Deflector Shield... ***ALERT--HIT! -Terminating Vortex Deflection Sequence ***Running Diagnostics... -Camera Discrepancies Detected--Debris Clotting -Attempting to Clear Debris--Forceful Camera Motor Functions -Failed--Camera unclear -Camera Switching to Infrared Sensors... -Successful: Positive Signatures Detected ***RESUMING COMBAT MODE... -Assuming Combat Stance...Done -Acquiring Target...Hostile Signature: Cannon / Cannon Operator ***RELAYING WPN CMD: "ORDINANCE SLOT" -Targeting Systems Tracking -Full Magazine: 8 / 8 Projectiles -Missiles Primed -Warheads Armed ***AGM-276 Cerberus Multi-Launch Rocket-Pod System: READY TO FIRE ***MASTER ARM ON... ***FIRING ALL MISSILES A blinding flash accompanied by a deafening roar filled the air, emitting from the monster. Several "Fireworks" streamed from its shoulder, the tubes blazing towards Pinkie Pie in a white-hot stream, homing onto her... ...A purple explosion appeared between the two, intercepting the space the rockets occupied. Twilight had teleported towards the rockets, and released a surge of magical energy with properties that froze everything around her, the rockets rendered merciless before her superiority. Whatever the machine was, it was dangerous. Nothing else mattered except the fact that it had tried to kill her friends--and whenever something like that happens, she did not take any shit. Pure, focused, and calculated rage filled her, her senses and power maxed out, an inferno within her awakening. She was not inhibited by the rage, but rather enhanced, adrenaline and mana coursing through her essence. In this insane, rapid-fire game of chess, she was going to do whatever it took to protect her friends, her kingdom, and WIN. She broke the spell, immediately replacing the field with the same vortex she had witnessed earlier... ...and with all her might, threw them all back in a massive blast that ruptured the atmosphere.
