The Daleks and the Cyber-Men, to mechanical races with particular view of emotions, both seem inhuman to many species in the galaxy, no the universe.
The Daleks feel one emotion, rage, unaltered wrath, nothing more or less, the only other emotion is conjured as a small spark, fear of the storm, the Oncoming Storm. Their greatest enemy, the destroyer of his own kind, his own world and theirs, but Skaro would rise again, the supreme would make sure of that.
The Cyber-Men they feel nothing, cold and emotionless, no compassion just the next upgrade, the next conquest. There empire expanded dimensions, from Mondas to Parallel Earth.
But 1 world was different from the others, a blue jewel in the endless vacuum, with the sun and moon orbiting the large planet. It green meadows and blue oceans occupied by equines, hominids where rare, almost non-existent, but 4 powerful empires where waging war.
Two on, and two above, both had reasons, all had power all had madmen, all had the broken. Some more broken than others.
Equestria was court off guard, massive amounts of bright light in the sky exploded in the night sky, it had been 5 years since Tirek return, and the all teen aged ponies looked up at the sky, with the lone dragon in a tree close by.
The CMC stared in awe, Spike the Dragon stared in worry, he knew this shouldn`t be happening, but he was captivated but the strange beauty of the hole event.
Until it happen, the moon, the large light in the sky became darken, as a large saucer like dish hovered over it, it bronze colour glinted in the light, with a larger longer more cannon like craft crashed into the saucer, both consumed in a flurry of explosions, with large pieces falling to the moon and some falling to earth.
The escape pod of the last survivors exploded out in opposite direction, on silver and spherical. The other bronze and cone shaped, but nopony could see that, apart from 4, the four where the spherical one was crashing down towards.
5 hours before the 'incident'
Spike had no idea why he was taking the CMC to the old castle of the twin sister, "So explain to me again why I`m taking you to the castle?" he`d grown in the past five years, know approaching 8ft on his hind legs so he walked on all fours know, being very lanky for a dragon his age, about 5ft walking like that.
"Because. The science fairs in two weeks, and I don`t know about you but I`m sick and tired of Dinky winning the thing!" stated an jealous or angry(?) Sweetie Belle. Leading the group to the old castle. She was right, but Dinky was like a younger and friendly version of Twilight, the facts she spoke 12 languages at the age of 14 didn`t mean anything to her?
"Are we seriously doing this, I mean does the science fair really mean that much to you?" asked Scootaloo, she was the only one of the 4 to win a science fair, due to her advanced understanding of physics (doing stunts on scooters does help), Applebloom had come second, but Sweetie Belle being the least practical and most clumsy was well, not cut out to be a scientist.
"No I don`t want to win just come second or third, just to get a medal of some kind!" she growled the 3 other gulped slightly. Sweetie was in one of her moods, apparently it was a part of becoming a mare, Scootaloo and Applebloom suffered with them by less likely to blow their top at anypony.
Spike being the only male was in the most trouble, he`d have to play it safe, Sweetie Belle knew a very powerful head lock, and unfortunately Spike could only hold his breath of so long.
Arriving at the old redone castle they followed Sweetie Belle who was storming along the corridors with the old suit of armour glinted in the afternoon sun.
Finally arriving at the library Sweetie Belle began to read every book in the room, methodically, the other sat down and read as well, Sweetie Belle would soon get bored.
They were so wrong! 4 hours and 55 minutes later Sweetie Belle was still reading, it was night know, placing down the final book she looked at the others all asleep, with the long snake like drake hanging down off the rafters, with Applebloom and Scootaloo slumped in a pile snoring loudly, Applebloom had her trademark bow around her eyes as she slept.
Then the night sky exploded with noise, and alien sound and lights exploded in Luna`s night sky. With flashes of green and red with some smaller blue lights in the sky, waking all of her friends. Spike in the panic jumped awake only to fail onto the two sleeping mares below him.
"Argh Spike get off me, ma`h lungs don`t work with half a ton of dragon on them!" wizzed Applebloom, with Scootaloo helping her push the drake off them.
Sweetie Belle called them over to the window "Girls, you should look at this" all of them walked to the window. All eyes shrinking and jaws gapping open.
'I need a closer look' through Spike climbing out of the window, his sharp claws digging into the side of the building, he climbed it, he`s wings had grown yet, annoying. Jumping into a large tree, a green flash below him and Sweetie and the other had teleported out to get a better view.
Then the explosion happened.
All of the teens ran for cover, the silver orb landed right on top of the tree of harmony. A wail of pain echoed from the ravine. All of them looked at each other.
"What was that?" asked Sweetie Belle, Spike sighed he`d read to many comic about alien invasions to not hope it would be something else. "Alien?" asked Scootaloo
"Woah Scoot, that goes against everything Granny`s ever tort me!" stated Applebloom, Spike gave a hurt look "She also said that and I quote 'A pony and a dragon can never be friends'" the purple dragon growled
Applebloom smiled innocently "Hahaha, yeah she did didn`t she?" another pain filed warble echoed up from the crater. "Should we she if it`s hurt?"
"No it could be a bad alien like the ones in the movie!" stated Scootaloo, Spike gave a look "I`ll go, nothing can get through my scales not even laser, remember your failed project Sweetie?"
She nodded, her original I idea had been a laser cutter, only problem was she accidently fired it at Spike, needless to say Spike reacted, leaving him with a burnt shoulder and Sweetie with a burnt laser.
All of them nodded at the idea. So Spike descended slowly, echo cry of pain become louder until he found the point zero, in the unsettled dust he heard dripping, and the warbles, with a pair of red lights shining at him, only they looked at him.
"By Celestia`s mane" he whispered, he rushed over to the lights, the dust not settling, coughing slightly, he pulled on something cold and metal, the warbling seem to stop.
Dragging the thing out of the dust he called the others "Guys, you may want to look at this!"
All of the CMC sighed in relief as Spike voice echoed up towards them. Rushing over to the ravine the found the purple dragon and a pony shape slab of metal. It moved, and Spike was breathing hot fire over it leg for some reason.
All of them raced down, they came to Spike he`d stopped breathing fire, panting for breath he smiled weakly. "You Ok?" a warble echoed up at them.
The sounds of pistons as the slab of metal raised of the ground. It glinted in the lights of the fighting in the sky.
It large pony shaped eyes glowed red looking over the small group. The formed into happy expression while it metal face place didn`t move, it face read like a robot in a film, only the eyes expressed emotion.
It mouth glowed blue as it forced itself to speak, obviously in pain "Th-th-tha-tha-than-thank y-you"
A pair of broken handle bar lay in the recharge.
