The Prelude to a New Era (Rewriten)
"I really didn't know the PPC could be used like that..." Patina admitted as she watched the PPC pulse outwards in a sphere to destabilize stolen Equestrian magical equipment to the point where it didn’t explode, but merely failed its function entirely.
"I only got the inspiration from the assault months ago” Myxine nodded sagely as she motioned over to the modified PPC. “While a direct shot would ‘kill’ Equestrian magic, a spherical pulse like that would only cause the magic to fail.” As the weapon itself was folded back into its cannon form, as the ‘pulse mode’ had extended the various components that ionized the air outwards, Patina noticed and realized to her horror what was going on.
"That's not a prototype is it." Patina deadpanned as Myxine coughed into her left hoof with a slight blush on her face.
"No, not really." While a normal PPC was already hard to modify, but modifications of this level would require magical components and a ridiculous amount of testing that would get it to this level of effectiveness. “I did have to use quite the amount of our modified magic crystals and at least… a dozen… PPC…” Patina yanked over a data pad held by one of the drones (one of Magica’s, she noticed) and her eyes narrowed for a moment before mumbling something under her breath.
"Er, what? I thought I just heard you say something?" Myxine's ears were flattened against her head at hoping what she had just barely heard was not true. Myxine opened her mouth to say something, but Patina's angry ranting was something one could not stop easily.
"HOW DID YOU RUIN A DOZEN PPC’S JUST IN TESTING?! ALL THOSE EXPLOSIONS WE HEARD WERE FROM YOU, WASN'T IT?!"
Magica, who was about to enter the testing warehouse to discuss magical integration with Patina, stood frozen by the door with her wide eyes as various other rather vulgar words were spoken loudly as the door slammed open. Patina, who was about to storm out, barely noticed Magica and brought herself back down to the ground from anger-based high and the pleasant smile Patina put on didn't seem to go too well with her violently twitching eyes.
"Ah, Magica! Just the queen I was looking for!" Patina swung her artificial foreleg over the smaller queen's back and began to urge her away from the slightly smoking warehouse. "I believe we were going to discuss magic?" Magica could only nod dumbly at the question and followed after the older queen. "Then let's go to a more private location then, hmm?"
As Patina dragged Magica away, Myxine could be seen exiting the hangar with various drones from different hives covered in soot.
"Who knew wood burned so well?" A drone idly commented as she fainted from shock.
Coughing out a puff of black smoke from her mouth, Myxine could barely hide her smile under her soot covered body. She did say that she was going to work on bettering the Changeling military and she did deliver. Oh, Patina might be angry about the sheer waste of resources, but hey... At least she recycled her failures..

Chrysalis couldn't believe her luck as she finally secured a massive weapons depot from the accursed Griffons. Oh, it had taken her the better part of three months to infiltrate and lull the garrison into lowering their guard enough for her and her 'Empire' of various other Changeling Queens that had sworn loyalty to her after that... Calliphora seized nearly sixty percent of the hives.
Damn whores.
As she saw the Griffon corpses being hauled off to be burned in a pile outside of the garrison, she levitated the new griffon rifles and admired the handiwork. While Equestria relied mostly on magic to arm themselves, the Griffons had developed their weapons with the rather heavy, but powerful autoguns. That included various cannons that were stored along with their two-part ammunition. Alongside were other queens watching in delight as the crates of weapons were being loaded onto four hijacked Endurance-Class Light Cruiser class airships that appeared to be covered in more metal than the wood that made up their inside. Some of the drones were also repainting the 'Royal Griffon' flag off the sides and painting Chrysalis' personal design of a unique shape with bug-like wings going out the sides.
"Our spies have located the traitors in the south, My Queen." A drone wearing a Griffon’s padding under their metal armor reported as he levitated a scroll to Chrysalis while bowing. They couldn’t exactly use the Griffon’s metal armor as their were far too large and heavy. "A group of ponies had attempted to attack them months ago, but..."
"But?" Chrysalis had already begun to read the scroll with narrowed eyes.
"Out of hundred fifty Guards that were dispatched, only fifty returned with one of three of their airships made it back to their Canterlot Port." Chrysalis merely tore the scroll with her magic and grinned maliciously.
"It doesn't matter whether a hundred of them died fighting. Many of those traitors would have perished alongside them in combat." She faced her 'officers' and shouted out loud. "No one betrays me and gets away with it! Follow your Queen of All Queens and let's crush those incompetent fools for their crimes!"
The jubilant cheers excited Chrysalis and merely added fuel to her ego and to her leadership. Those fools were weakened by the ponies, so she was surely ensured an easy victory.
And victory over the traitors would be sweet!

Miasma yawned as she lazed about in her own hive currently under Manehatten chewing on what had used to be an half-eaten apple thrown down into the sewers. To her and her hive, it was a normal day. Other queens who had not declared a side had also simply declared neutrality and decided to go on with their lives until a victor could be decided amongst Calliphora's Umbra Commonwealth and Chrysalis' 'Empire'. Oh, she knew for sure that from what she had seen in Patina's hideouts in the south were of any indication, the Commonwealth was going to wipe the floor with Chrysalis' corpse along with all those that followed her.
As she saw a drone levitating a small crate of artificial love bought from the Commonwealth, she halted the drone and cleared her throat with a nervous air about her. She had merely heard about how Patina treated her drones and it made her curious.
"I just have to request something from you, darling..." The drone swallowed its dry throat as Miasma stared into its eyes. "C-can you call me... Mother?"
The drone couldn't do much but to blink at how its queen was acting. The stuttering was incredibly new for its headstrong queen and not to mention that she sounded far too serious for it to be a mere joke. So coming to a proper conclusion, the drone reacted accordingly.
"Who are you and what have you done with our queen!"
The following squeals of pain easily provided proof that she was indeed Miasma.

The entire military council chamber of Equestria sat within a grand circular room filled with maps, charts, and various other objects that signified the council's importance. But due to the sheer amount of time not being used, the room was filled with dust, cobwebs, and other clutter that had piled from being used as a storeroom until now.
"Outdated. Outdated. Outdated..." Princess Luna muttered as she looked through the various objects that hung on the walls with disdain clearly etched onto her muzzle.
"Well, the war room has not been used since..." A Night Guard lifted a chart with her leathery wings and coughed in the most faked manner possible. "Since five hundred years ago. It has been turned into a storeroom since then..."
Luna grumbled audibly as she cast a spell to literally remove the dust from all surfaces, removed all aged documents to be sorted by the librarians, and ultimately preparing the room to be used as a proper war room. The next few hours were spent putting up modern maps, gathering all reports on the Changeling movement and what they knew about the race of shapeshifters.
"Is this all? Some of these are twenty years old!" Luna was seriously doubting the peace that her sister had maintained through diplomacy. Well, it was nice to have peace, but to cut the military budget to this point where all she could do was buy several dozen unenchanted armor and an equal amount of low quality spears. The safety of 'her little ponies' seemed far too focused on individual threats that appeared occasionally to be 'defeated' by Celestia's student and her five friends that were the Elements of Harmony. And against these larger threats, Equestria was supposed to have her legions! But that legendary army that had struck fear into the hearts of every species in Equis in the past was reduced to nothing more than a couple hundred improperly trained guards that only utilized basic combat spells, some combat training, and more used as a parading military than a practical one. But that was something that could be fixed by creating new policies and training, followed by a budget increase.
What really upset her was the sheer technological gap developing between the ponies and the Griffons. And if the loss of two airships was not by magic when they had been sent against the Changelings that moved to the South, she could easily deduce that the Changelings also developed their own avenue of technology that nearly outpaced their own by decades if not...
"Have we yet to acquire any of the Griffon's weaponry?" And to Luna's absolute dismay, the Captain of the Night Guard shook her head.
"WHY ME?"

With the sheer amount of work on Calliphora's desk, she wished she could just have her drones work on them instead.
That was a thought...
But at least every folder was color coated for different issues. Green for agriculture, pink for any 'love' related issues, blue for security issues, and much more. But what caught her attention was the single thin black folder that was on the bottom of a rather large stack of folders. Pulling the folder out with her magic, she immediately breathed in deep and read the single sheet report within the black folder.
There was a war brewing in the future, and she would make sure that they would be ready.

Are we going to see a Changeling version of Char? You can't have a Gundam Fic without a mysterious masked pilot.
5171837 That sound like the name of homeworld of the Zerg.
Eh...Chrysallis need to be eliminate if the changeling want to unite again...
The super weapon..sigh...no idea...I'm pretty sure it's not Nuke.
5172225 You have gift with word, you should write many story.
I'm sure lots of person will like that :pinkie happy: :aj smug:
:-)
5172280
Thanks...I guess?
5172309 not problem :scootangle:
5172225 Every (or at least many) Gundam series have for some reason a mecha pilot with a mask and often he's one of the main antagonists. The first dude with mask appeared in the very first Gundam series and was called Char.
5172333 Ok, thanks for de info
Still taking OCs eh? I have one for you, one of Chrysalids new royal guards named Yivera http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/353/f/a/mlp__my_life_for_the_changeling_kingdom_by_srmario-d5oh1fz.png
Idealistic, and a rabble rouser perhaps? Especially when he sees the military might of BESPA.
I got nothing.
5172225 thought the same thing XD (For the Swarm! For Kerrigan
But back to the story ^^.
Black folder? if i go with the last line "This was either going to work or going to kill them all in a glorious ball of hellfire." then I think it was something like "Go to the Ponys with an ambassador and try to make them our allys!" Or a bio weapon.
Great laughter with Patina and Myxine at the start.
And I'm now sure as hell Patina hates Calliphora XD "With the sheer amount of work on Calliphora's desk, she wished she could just have her drones work on them instead."
best reason to never be a Boss of a company or anything that's produced paperwork XD. Poor Calliphora ^^.
Hmm. If it is a super weapon, then it should be something along the lines of a Particle-beam weapon. They're legitimate things today, so I don't see why a highly advanced group like the Changelings couldn't make one.
5171837
Just one problem... Unless its a pony, it's far too easy to 'detect' a masked changeling due to its horn shape and/or body shape. Don't forget that minovsky particles in this story block long term disguises by the changelings. But a masked character is a must...
The "Superweapon" is a Changeling model Orbital Love Cannon, on par with the ponies Orbital Friendship Cannon.
Ah! I got an idea for super weapon.
Starcraft in-game tactical nuke but up to about 30-100 of them droping consecutively...something like MIRV?
Well I have a Mobile suit you could use.
First the Mobile suit.
Chasis is the Heavy Arms from Gundam Wing Endless Waltz. My own adition would be several fin like potrutions on it's back which can seperate into smaller pieces and fly and operate on their own. There were several names for such systems in the Gundam franchise, in Mobile suit Gundam their were called "Funnels", though I prefer the term used in Gundam 00 which was "Bits"
Weapons: Two Twin Gattling Cannons (one for each Arm) Two small machine Guns mounted in the Head section above the "Eyes". Multitude of Rocket launchers built into the Frame (Most notably the 20+ rockets being launched by the launchers in the chest compartment alone)
The "Bits" act as mobile shield and small assault support. roughly half are armor plated and act as moveable defence (as portrayed by Gundam Dynames in various episodes of Gundam 00), the other half has small beam rifles built into them, allowing them to attack enemies in a quick fashion, supporting the main assault from the "mother" Mobile Suit.
Codename: Avalanche
The catch is however that the Pilot needs support in controling the Bits, mainly a Haro unit (Haro are the Ball shaped pet like machines in ANY Gundam Franchise, when they appear they are ALL called Haro)
It would also be of advantage if the controller was a Newtype, weither a Cyber-Newtype or a Real Newtype is of no consequence, either would do fine.
Another catch is the energy system needed to operate the Machine. The power requirements are enormous. Since the original Gundam 00 Suits are powered by Solar Furnaces or GN Drives (Fancy Name for Fusion Reactor if you ask me) it stands to reason that this Suit alone would probably consume enough power to fuel at LEAST a couple dozen Zaku if not more.
That being said it's armarments make for one hell of an assault machine. hence the Nickname of whoever ends up controling this beast should be "Onslaught" and if you make him a relentless like Character than the Name would fit even better.
One more weakspot I have to point out for Avalanche is i'ts ammunition. Since only the bits are armed with beam rifles they need to "recharge" after a couple shots, which is why they have to continously dock and undock from the "Mainframe". The Shield Bits can operate longer since their power is only used to keep in position in relation to the Suit. And since most of the Power generated is consumed by the "Bits" System there's not much left for wepons on the suit, hence why the Suit itself is using Shell-ammunition. Once it runs out (The rockets are especially fast empty) It needs to be restocked which can take a while.
Now that I presented this Mobile Suit to you you can make your own adaptions to it, you could for example make the Suit itself a close Combat unit Like the Exia was.

I hope you understand that bits and funnels can only be used in space unless it has its own internal generator, which makes it bulky and large. THe only ones I have seen that are from the Universal Century are large rotors with minor i-fields and/or ramming missiles... THey were called bits... If you're talking about the ones from Gundam 00, then sorry; I won't be adding any GN based tech. Please keep in mind that I will stay in Universal Century Techline.

Here another OC changeling queen you could use:
The Changeling queen have the appearance similar to a voodoo witch and wears a necklace that decorate with skulls of creatures and animals and some armband on her fontlegs with feathers and scales on it and below her waist is a loincloth that only cover the font and also most of her changelings in her hive wear a attire similar to hers. Her eye color is dark red but she is completely blind and her mane is dark orange. Her and her hive originally came from the zebra lands and they use natural chemicals to catch their prey and by hitting the pressure points of their prey to paralyze them.
A drone idly commented as she feinted from shock
But those legendary army that had struck fear into the hearts of every species
1. Fainted. Feint is like bluffing; I feinted to the left and he took that as a chance to punch me senseless.
2. Err... Armies? Right, she had more than one right?
Ok so congratulations, ALL magic is basically moot, as far as I can tell they have single-hoofedly won without actually doing anything yet
Well, Equestria's screwed... *prepares to pack bags* Imma outta here!
By effectively denying magic, Equestria has already lost and it doesn't know it yet.
I feel this is too much of a stretch and too convenient without any downfall.
It would be more interesting to see an arms race, where Equestria has to develop more advanced magitech to just slow down the Changelings overwhelming technological superiority and have to ally with the Griffons to force a stalemate.
As is the war has already ended before it can begin.
That is unless you are willing to give the ponies some of their most extreme weather control powers and allow the Princesses to slice a Battlemech in 2 in 1 go
