> Tirek Fights Democracy > by Shadowflameking > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was finally done. Tirek, now Lord Tirek Ruler Of Equestria, had won, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadence, had been locked in Tartarus, it was no less than they had done to him. 'Princess' Twilight Sparkle and her friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and her pet dragon had been locked in stone, while Discord, the former god of chaos, was his personal jester. Lord Tirek had conquered most of the planet, the only places he hadn't bothered with, had been the two frozen poles, and the small islands, no point to trying to take those, so he just blasted them. Tirek had also set the sun and moon on an automatic orbit, it just seemed too pointless to raise and lower them EVERY day and night, as such it was automated thanks to the vast amounts of magic he had. Tirek had been growing quite bored recently in the growing years, ponies had been forced to build large statues and monuments to him as a sort of god. He also had a bit of fun dealing with the so called 'Storm King', his forces where no match for Lord Tirek, even without the vast amounts of magic, just a rock to the head would have ended that pathetic fool, Tirek had him locked away in another dimension. The 'Storm Kings' second in command, Tempest Shadow, had been a slight problem for a few months, leading gorilla raids on his territory, and killing some of his mind willing servants with her unfocused magic, but after three months she had been caught, and Tirek didn't bother and killed her on the spot, flat out vaporized her, leaving nothing but hot glowing ash in her place, which blew away in the wind seconds later. Few other things had happened, three entire YEARS with nothing but the former Lord of Chaos Discord, to dance stupidly and entertain him. Canterlot looked a lot different than it had all those years ago, banners of day and night replaced with banners of him, the castle redecorated, to much purple and gold for his tastes, to red and grey, the glass windows depicting events throughout Equestrian history where melted to slag or shot out with blasts of magic without care, after all, Tirek didn't care for the history of an entire Kingdom that had locked him away. After a few more months of being bored, Tirek, Ruler of Equestria, had gotten the bright idea, why not go to another world and take that over as well? With all the power he had, ripping a hole through the dimensional barriers would be no issue, KEEPING it open would be, so he'd have to anchor the spell to something, so he tied it to the Throne he sat upon daily, and began the spell. The air rippled as a large hole opened up, showing cracked sandy dirt. Stepping through, the vortex remained open, however the difference was instantly noticeable, the air of Equestria smelled clean, and fresh, for the most part, the air here, was stale, and stank of rust and decay. Looking around, Tirek saw signs of life about a mile away, in what seemed to be ruins of some sort, a large tower with bipeds in thick looking metal armor carrying strange devices wandering around, while weird flying contraptions flew around it like a hive of some sort, seeing the new challenge, Tirek grinned evilly as he began to stomp to the ruins the metal bipeds inhabited. ---------------------------------------------------Boston Airport, BOS base------------------------------------------ The Brotherhood had just prepped Liberty Prime for their fight against the institute, nearly every soldier was in their power armor, weapons in hand, Prime was ready to kick the institutes ass and blow them to hell, Brotherhood soldiers watched in awe as the giant robot spoke, while breaking the metal scaffolding built to house the robot for repairs. "Liberty Prime is online. All systems nominal. Weapons hot. Mission: the destruction of any and all Chinese communists." Brotherhood soldiers cheered, it was time to begin the fight as Liberty Prime began to stomp his way out of the airport proper, stepping over the makeshift metal walls, only to get shot by a large beam of energy, pushing the robot back a bit into the wall and causing it to crumple like tinfoil under the weight of Prime, near instantly Brotherhood soldiers took aim at what had shot Prime, some large red mutant, and began to fire, using their gatling lasers, miniguns, even missile launchers and even vertibirds got in on the action with their door gunners using miniguns as well. Tirek had been surprised that his blast hadn't destroyed the metal beast, and that the meta bipeds actually fired upon him, shooting metal slugs that tore into his thick hide slightly, and long tubes that hurt like hell when they exploded upon his flesh, in anger an orange ball of magic appeared between his horns and shot beams at the metal bipeds, causing many to die near instantly as he shouted. "I am Lord Tirek! You all now bow to me! Bow or die like the pathetic worms you are!" This only angered the Brotherhood, who's vertibirds continued to assault him, getting taken out of the sky by other blasts of magic, as the 'metal beast' stood back up and locked its sights on Tirek. "Commencing tactical assessment. Red Chinese threat detected, Engaging Red Chinese aggressor." Liberty Prime pulled one of the nuclear bombs from his back, and threw it like a football at Tirek, whom raised a shield in an attempt to protect himself, but it shattered when the force of the atom bomb exploded on it, knocking him back while the Brotherhood Knights cheered and continued to fire their weapons. Tirek glared at the metal beast, who had dared strike him. "You dare strike Lord Tirek? You shall bow before me or perish!" With that he hurled a large blast of magic at Prime, who tanked it sliding back 15 feet, leaving trenches in the cracked and dead soil with its large metal feet. It was Primes turn to return fire. "Tactical assessment: Red Chinese victory... impossible!" Liberty Prime shot forward and grabbed Tirek by the throat, as his eye glew cherry red, before he blasted Tirek in the face with his prime weapon, a giant ass laser, Tirek for his part grunted and ripped the machine off him, tossing it back and throwing a punch, only for his hand to shatter against the metal of the robots chassis, causing him to wail in agony as pre placed spells forced his hands bones back into place with sickening snaps. Tirek seethed in rage as he glared at the machine with malice clear in his eyes. "You stupid beast! You'll pay for that!" Tireks horns charged up a large ball of magic, and threw it at Liberty Prime like a fastball, however Tirek didn't expect Liberty Prime's head laser to shoot it mid air before it got anywhere near him, causing it to explode and knocking Tirek back a far bit, seeing this and seeing the other metal bipeds and their flying machines coming in the hundreds, he booked it back to the portal and threw himself in. It was to late for him to cancel the spell however as Liberty Prime had been hot on his heals, ponies forced to serve Tirek and Discord, locked in a cage meant to dance stupidly for the rest of his immortal life, watched in awe as Prime punched Tirek in the face over, and over, and over again, with the will of an unwavering machine. "Embrace Democracy, or you will be eradicated." Prime shot another laser into Tireks face, before he was pushed off violently into a wall, leaving a dent in the marble and stonework. Tirek stood up shakily, and spat blood onto the ground, along with, around 8 to 15 teeth. "Never you stupid beast! You shall bow to me!" Tirek threw a punch, and got the shock of his life when Prime caught it with his fist, and CRUSHED Tireks hand with the force of a hydraulic press. "Anchorage will be liberated, Initiating directive 7395 -- destroy all Communists." Liberty Prime grabbed Tireks head with both hands, and squeezed, causing Tirek to scream in agony as his skull, under the pressure of a machine, collapsed in on itself like a dying star collapsing under its own weight, grey matter and a pinkish pulp flowing through Primes metallic fingers as he dropped the body. With Tirek dead, the magic he had stolen from every living creature within Equestria, flew from his body in brightly colored balls, and back to their owners, sadly with the death of Tirek, the vortex closed as well. But Prime would not be trapped, as Discord floated up glowing yellow. "Well my...metal friend, I thank you for freeing my home from that monster, as a gift I shall return you to your home dimension! Tata!" Discord snapped his claw and Prime disappeared in a flash of white sparkles. And within seconds of the snap, Liberty Prime was back with the Brotherhood of Steel near the boston airport made BOS base, after about a week, they continued and went on the mission to destroy the institute, and succeeded in freeing the Wasteland from another monster.
