Chapter 4: From the Depths
Celestia POV(Point of view)
I awoke to the light of the sun beaming through my window in my bedroom. I yawned knowing I and my sister have a speech to give to the ponies of ManeHatten about the reopening of the Pony of Liberty. Then after the speech we have summit in ManeHatten to attend to. I got up and got dressed in my usual regalia. My room itself has a big model of the sun hanging from ceiling; the ceiling was a painted clear sky. Luna's room was more associated with the night and even has a model of the moon hanging from the ceiling. Just then I heard a knock on my door. I walked over and opened the door and saw it was Luna. "Are you ready for the day dear sister?" Luna asked. I simply nodded and replied, "Yes although it is going to be so boring." Luna smiled. "Yes, at least the speech can be short; and the meeting will only last an hour or so, and then we can go back to the castle and start working on the daily grievances. Celestia responded with joy, "Oh! Better yet we could as Discord to attend with us; he is always good for a laugh." Luna thought about this but, decided to shake her head, "Tempting but, this speech and the meeting are important; the speech is to keep up appearances and the meeting is to ensure the budget for each city for next year." Reluctantly I nodded my head in agreement. I looked over at the time it was 8:00am and the meeting was at 11am and it took an hour and half to get there. We walked to the dining hall to have breakfast and then got into the carriages to go to the meeting.
At the ManeHatten….
Luna's POV
When we finally arrived in ManeHatten, we walked with our small squad of soldiers to the platform in front of the statue. Celestia and I both decided that she would give the speech, since I hated giving speeches. Celestia spoke in a kind yet commanding voice, "Fillies and gentlecolts we are here today to celebrate the reopening of the Pony of Liberty Statue due to the repairs that were made over the course of the year."
Suddenly there was a quiet sound of engines coming from above. Many began to look around to find what was making and saw nothing. Then sounds of alarms were going off and out of nowhere, cigar shaped objects began to appear (or de-cloaking) all-around them. For a time there was silence in the crowd as no one dares to even speak for a few minutes. "Oh please don't tell me that it's another invasion!" Then out of lead zeppelin a voice could be heard "you got it moon butt!" And with these last words said all hell brock loss. Ponies ran and scrambled for cover all over the place. Then there was a massive Boom Crack Boom. The top have landing not far from the two princesses' position. Dust and sand was blasted into the air all around the two princesses. As the two recovered the looked up to see the top have of the statue staring them in the face. Celestia and Luna turned to see the statue of pony toppling over. I yelled in anger, "You maniac! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you to Tartarus!" Celestia, "I getting such a sense of déjà vu here!" With that Celestia placed up and protection shield on everypony. The bombs continued to be dropped upon the city and the panic of the ponies continued to grow out of control. As the attack continued new sphere like objects began to land and open up to reveal robotic solders standing on a tripod stance welding large spears with electric sparks coming out from the tips. They began chasing and capturing every pony they came upon. "All lower life forms you lucky creatures. You get to be the first to come under my new empire. Any resistance will be met with…severe punishments. Hohohohoho!" voice said again.
Luna's Pov
I and Celestia are using long range teleportation spells to transport all the ponies we can to Canterlot and Ponyville for safety. That voice sounds so familiar somehow…oh well cannot think about it right now. Need to get the ponies to safety as quickly as possible. I thought.
Celestia's Pov
"Damn this bastard!" I yelled angrily. I looked towards Luna, "Luna! Use your magic to hold off these robots. While I get everypony to safety" Luna nodded her head and along with our remaining guards and fought the invaders with everything they got. "This can't get any worse!" Then out of the sea came a gigantic sea serpent looking robot clad in golden armor with purple hair. Luna replied eyes widen, "I think it just got worse sister." Then the sea serpent roared. How are we going to save everypony?
