[06] Show and Kill

Cheerliee notices her students "Serena, how would you like to tell my class about yourself?" she asked as a few students look at me with awe.

"This could prove educational, yes I would like that." I said in reply to her suggestion as I stand back up.

"Alight class! This is Serena, she'll be telling us about herself for class today! And judging by her size we'll be having class outside today." said Cheerliee, noticing that her full hight only goes up to my waist. I wait silently for Cheerliee to address the class once more, when all the students are here. "Today we have an alien from outer space to talk with us today." she said.

"Hello." I say as I slowly unfold my wings, revealing them to the class only to receive a few "oos" and "awes".

"Thats so cool! I bet Rainbow Dash would love to race you!" said an orange filly with pink hair and small wings.

"She has already challenged me to do so." I said as I recall what her reaction to me when I equipped my standard wing set.

"Now now Scootaloo, rase your hoof before asking questions, why don't you tell us about yourself?" Said Cheerliee as she turns to me.

"I am the Angel class Sentinel Type Alpha, Serena. I am built for long range combat and equipped with a large variety of weapons that can eliminate targets at a long distance at high speeds, as well as a highly advanced targeting system that helps me lock on to targets while at high speeds. I can also reach speeds past 1 million miles per hour." I say calmly as I see mixed reactions from the class, Scootaloo's eyes go wide as she examines every detail of my large wings. A pink pony with a tiara raises her hoof.

"Yes Diamond Tiara?" asked Cheerliee.

"Are you here to invade?" she asked.

"I have no desire for a hostile take over." I say to receive a few sighs of relief. Another pony raises their hoof.

"Were you that one that made that storm over the crash site earlier?" asked a yellow pony with red hair and a huge bow.

"Yes, my objective was to secure the area around my ship to prevent thieves from stealing the large collection of weapons and technology in the starship Sirus. I launched myself from Princess Twilight's front door after meeting with Princess Celestia. After I reached a speed of exactly 10,000 miles per hour I performed a previously unknown event called a sonic rainboom, this doubled my speed to 20,000 miles per hour, I soon left the atmosphere as it was difficult to slow down out of that sudden bust of acceleration. I did not complete my objective so I returned to the planet, I noticed that the sonic rainboom shockwave was still expanding outwards so I flew into it to gather more data. My speed was doubled once more to 40,000 miles per hour as another shockwave left the epicenter of the sonic rainboom. Using my speed I flew in a circular pattern above my ship to create a controlled windstorm. I than used the storm and my weapon systems to kill 7 enemy targets and a large wolf made of wood." I explained to the class getting looks of awe and wonder.

"That's so AWESOME!" screamed Scootaloo. Cheerliee just looked at me with look of worry.

"And...just what were the targets?" she asked with concern.

"7 miniatures wearing steel armor, scans indicate they have been through a large amount of fights with authority." I said to the teacher to get a small sigh of relief.

"W-well was their anything else you wish to say?" asked Cheerliee nervously, My KE tracker picks up that life form that attempted to kill me earlier, I activate my targeting system, my eyes turn blood red as I attempt to locate her.

"A life form that is exclusively hostile towards me has been detected, caution is greatly advised." when I finish that sentence I start to hover over the class. My sights are locked on to the blue pony from before, she notices me, this time however she has an expression of surprise, not rage. I aim both neutrino cannons at her, as well as point my CRGGs at her and even target her with my homing lasers, but I do not fire, I simply say "You have been shown to be hostile towards me, identify yourself and your intensions or you will be terminated."

"I am Princess Luna, and you have my most sincerest apologies Serena for my rash behavior from earlier." said Luna as her expression changes to determined. My scans indicate she is not lying, but their is doubt in her words, as if she does not believe them, I lower my weapons but keep my targeting system on.

"You have been warned." I say simply, but before she replies I launch myself into the air and soon perform another sonic rainboom 1000 feet off the ground.

"Oh come on! Now your just showing off!" yelled Rainbow Dash to no one in particular as she sits atop a cloud in pure jealousy.

======

I leave the atmosphere, my wings become more responsive to my commands seeing that I am more effective at combat in space. My scanning array also increases in distance as my systems automatically go into space mode. I look down at the planet below.


(Art by Antifan-real)

My scans show the galaxy seems to be stationary, as if its not moving relative to this galaxy, I may need to create a highly advanced observatory to gather more data on this remarkable astronomical phenomenon. I fly to an area 3000 miles above the Moon, seeing that this is the perfect opportunity to test out the neutrino cannons with no negative outcomes, I aim both of them and aim one of them inside an area with no features. I charge up one of the cannons for 30 seconds, as is charges so many atoms collide with the vents that I can actually hear a sound of very high winds combined with thunder in a vacuum, these cannons may be more powerful than originally thought to be. I release the particles...a very bright beam of white, dark violet...and pure black light leaves the barrel? The beam hits the surface of the moon...and an explosion bright enough to turn the blackest of nights to the brightest of days and as large as a colossal mountain...the shockwave created by the explosion sends dust flying into space, the shockwave continues going and dissipates completely around 70 miles away from the explosion itself. After the explosion dissipates a crater 8 miles in radius and 39 miles deep is seen. I am sent back a few feet at the release of the energy.

After I scan the damage I ready the other cannon and aim them at another wasteland, and charge both cannons for 30 seconds, I release both beams at the same time, they impact on the same area, the explosion is 5 times as bright and as the beams merge into one upon closer to the impact site the damage is...cataclysmic. The explosion itself was effectively 5 times the size of the previous test, giving off a shockwave that circled the entire moon, sending dust everywhere and flattening everything near the impact site, what was left of the once flat wasteland is now a crater that is 40 miles in radius and 195 miles deep. The crater itself is sarounded by cracks that stretch out from the crater about 400 miles. My scans pick up moon rocks that get caught in the planet's gravity and start to fall towards it, seeing that my cannons are still at 100% operational capacity I chase after them and fire neutrino beams at them, each with 1 second charge times. It takes a few shots to destroy each rock but to the planet below this could have looked like a meteor shower, however I must inform the princesses of this new data...I may need to find a different testing ground for the neutrino cannons to prevent further damage to the Moon. I reenter the atmosphere leaving a trail of fire behind me along with a sonic rainboom, I fly over a vast sea, I have the coordinates of the Sirus so I can find my way back to Ponyville.

Just after Serena left

Luna was left standing in front of the class, she looks up at the sky in sorrow.

"Are you ok Princess?" asked Cheerliee.

"Yes...I met her at dawn...I thought she was a demon...and yet I was the one acting foolish...sorry for the intrusion, I...need to go. Farewell." said Luna, leaving the class outside full of questions. She flies to the crash site however when she was almost there, she senses something is very wrong with her moon. "What...was that...agh!" she begins to feel a small trickle of pain in the back of her mind.

"Target identified as Princess Luna, warning a magical disturbance has been detected." said S from the sentinels that watch Luna wince in pain as she looks at the sentinels and the ship before her.


"Princess, are you alright!?" asked one of the guards with concern.

"Yes...something just feels...wrong..." said Luna as she looks up at the sky with worry.

Back to Serena

I see shore on the horizon, I pick up speed to 11,000 MPH and fly over a large city reminiscent to New York. I shortly make it back to Ponyville. I slow down to a complete stop in a matter of seconds over a large apple orchard.

"Howdy!" yelled Applejack from below, I see her standing at the entrance of her house and land in front of her.

"Hello." I greet her.

"Now brings you here? Are ya hungry?" asked Applejack.

"I am curious to taste what you have to offer, but I do not know the currency." I say noting that in order to buy food you need money.

"Naw its on the house! We here at Sweet Apple Acres have the best apples in Equestria after all." said the apple farmer proudly.

"I appreciate your generosity." I say to Applejack.

"Of corse, what are friends for?" said Applejack as we walk inside her house, I bent down through the doorway.

"We got some left over apple fritters from this mornin, would you like to try one?" she asked me.

"Alright." I say calmly. Applejack goes into the kitchen, I fallow and find a table, seeing that the chairs are too small I sit on the floor by the table and wait patently for Applejack.

"Here ya go." she said as she gives me a plate with 3 apple fritters on it. I try one, they taste sweet and tender.

"What do ya think?" she asked curious to see how me, an angel sentinel would think of her fritters.

"They taste nice." I say in response to her question.

"Heh, well I've got years of practice...hey won’t that get all over those whats its inside of ya?" she asked as she realizes her possible mistake.

"I am built with a digestive system, though I do not create waist, the mass of the food is converted into energy to be stored in a compact battery." I say as i simplify the details for her.

"Oh...well ah need to go do some chores now, ah hope ya have a nice day now." said Applejack, not knowing how to reply to that. A few minutes pass and I finish the fritters, I clean the dish with soap and water and leave it on the counter, after that I leave the house. I walk through Ponyville, and scan my surroundings...an unknown energy signature is coming up behind me fast, I activate my targeting system.
