Repent, for thou art in my books a sinner! - Tempest Knight

Arnold and I approached the ranger camp slowly, his red mechanical eyes scanning everything around us before locking onto a cement structure on the other side of the camp.

"I am going to assume that, that, is the way into the stable." I said looking to him for confirmation.

He turned his head to me and projected a small hologram at our hooves, "Affirmative, scans indicate that all but two ponytrons still function and pip bucks read that stable population is beginning to drop steadily." his machine voice giving no hint of emotion but still carrying that odd accent.

"I guess you have a plan then?" I asked him.

"Yes, it is a simple one." he said before standing up and walking into the camp.

"Arnold?" I asked bewildered as he snapped a rangers neck who never saw him coming, and slipped back into our cover with the body.

"I will disguise myself as one of the hostiles and make my way down inside the stable to secure the population, you will create a diversion up here to provide us me cover. Will contact if situation changes." he stated plainly before putting the armor on and changing his voice to that of the deceased mares, since he had heard her scream seconds before he killed her.

"Olive Branch, we heard you scream.!" a ranger yelled as she and two others appeared from the tents.

"Oh, sorry, it was just a nasty looking bug." Arnold said from inside the armor before walking away with them.

"Well then, this ought to be interesting." I muttered as I crept up to another bush so I could watch him go inside.

"Knight Olive, you were supposed to report to command tent, ten minuets ago, we are to descend into the stable and kill the remaining stable dwellers upon the Elders command." the paladin of the deceased ranger shouted as she and her squad walked passed my disgiused companion.

"Apologies ma'am, I got lost." Arnold replied.

"Eh, don't you always Branchy?" a mare asked from behind her before slapping her metal flank and catching up to the squad.

I took note of where the command tent was so I could deal with the elder, as Arnold caught up with his squad to go into the stable. Once he had entered I received, on my private channel only used between myself and Luna in the old days, a voice message.

"Infiltration complete, will terminate once I find my objective, you may now begin your attack General." Arnold said in his normal voice through the broadcaster.

"Willco." was all I replied with before silently as possible moving up to the command tent.

"I don't care how many ponies down there die, I want this stable, as well as its security reprogrammed to deal with those traitors in twenty four!" the Elder shouted at a paladin who evidently did not agree with him.

"But sir, do we really have to sacrifice the lives of the innocent ponies inside?" she asked with a concerned look in her teal eyes.

"Yes, now no more questions." the grey stallion retorted before rolling his green eyes, "NOW!"

"Yes sir." the mare gave a salute to her cyan brow before calmly walking out of the tent.

I slipped back a little and stayed as low as I could, being the same size, if not larger in mass, as Celestia, wasn't helpful when it came to sneaking around, though luckily her black mane was in her eyes. She moved her mane with one of her forehooves before her eyes cam eto rest on me.

"You want to help those ponies, as do I, if you have any friends down there who share you views they need to get out now." I quickly said, checking behind me as I heard hoof steps.

"Why, what is going to happen?" she asked as she put on her helmet and walked over to where the steps were coming from.

"One of the ponytrons is a lot smarter than you all are giving it credit for, he is down there now with a fresh squad, and he intends on killing every ranger here." I replied coming into the dim light.

"So far my squad and I are the only ones who have said anything, but..." she stammered.

"Where is your squad now?" I asked as three Steel Rangers rounded the corner.

"You are looking at us." she replied before looking over at her friends.

"Get out of here, I have heretics to burn." I calmly said as the vent on my muzzle lit up red while I blew flames out of my nostrils.

"I can't let you kill anypony!" she whispered.

"I am a General and you are a soldier, now go." I said calmly before turning through the tent door.

"Didn't I tell you to go get ready for salvage!" the elder yell before turning around to see me.

I said not a word as I approached him, drawing my swords and crossing them at his neck. I looked him hard in the eyes before applying pressure slightly as he began to cry.

"Please no, I just want the best." he groveled.

"You should have thought about that before you sanctioned the death of a fragment of Old Equestria, heretic." I growled as I put more pressure on his throat.

"But, but..." he said before I opened my muzzle and raised my visor.

"Repent for the wrong you have done, and perhaps your punishment will be less severe!" I yelled as I drew my blades back.

Not giving him a chance to respond I silenced the fool by plunging my blades into his chest. He sputtered up blood as he said something I couldn't understand before he died on my blades. Ripping my ancient weapons from his body I sheathed them before walking out of the tent and shutting my helm.

"Who shall be next to taste my vengeance!" I exclaimed to the heavens above.

Three rangers instantly ran towards me guns blazing, as I jumped to the side, nearly getting impaled by the rounds. The world around me shook as grenade machine guns ripped apart the ground beneath me. I returned their fire cutting two of them down with my armor piecing rounds as I jumped up into the air to avoid the multitude of explosions beneath me.

"Take the freak down!" I heard one of them say just as the soldier next him head detonated.

"He's not alone!" A mare shouted before she was ripped in half by a stream of bullets.

I saw the four rangers from earlier gunning the others down after painting their armor black.

"I thought I told you four to get out of here?" I asked as I dropped down on another soldier and spat fire with such an intensity that it melted into his skin before I took a hoof and put it through his head.

"There is no way that you would be able to kill all of these poor excuses for ponies on your own sir." the mare from earlier yelled over the spray of bullets and volleys of grenades that surrounded us while I also dodged a few by flying above them before dropping quickly back down.

"I don't want to see you four die, go and get out of here." I said as a grenade round impacted one of the rangers who were following me.

"Sharpshot!" the mare cried before running up to him, I turned and fired rounds from my railguns with great effect as the twin shots drove themselves clean into the enemy soldiers.

"Talk to me, talk to me damn it!" she yelled as she pulled off her helmet and stared down into his visor with her eyes.

"He's dead paladin, you need to move on out, or all of you will die too!" I yelled as I cut loose more rounds from my cannons.

She cradled him in her hooves before giving him a soft kiss on his armors muzzle, "I'll never forget you my love, never." she whispered, letting him go.

"Move it and get your flanks out of here, I'll come find you when this is over." I said moving in front of the rangers as the enemy fire died down.

"Yes sir." she said with a tone of defeat as she rejoined her rangers in a retreat.

"Die you traitor scum!" I heard another mare shout as I saw a rocket fly towards the group of ponies that tried to help me.

"No more death to the just upon this day!" I growled as I shot the missile with my railguns and watched it explode in a blaze of glory.

"Ha, teach you to turn your backs on us!" the same mare shouted as she laughed.

Looking to her position I realized that there were very few Rangers in the camp to start with, about fifty, and that there were only now six left. All of them had huddled together and were looking at where the smoke was clearing to see the scattered remains of my new friends, only they never did. I walked out of the cloud with my wings extended as I blew fire from my muzzle, giving off a slight demonic look, and stopped mere hoofs away from the group who aimed their weapons at me.

"You are guilty, and I am your executor." I calmly stated before blasting two of them apart with my cannons and jumping into the air.

They tried to shoot back, but majority of their rounds missed, I drew my blades and planted them in the mare with the rocket launcher. As I did so one of the other rangers managed to damage my left railgun before I sliced off his head. The last two began to back away toward the stable as another, heavily damaged ranger, walked out of the structure that hid it.

"Prepare to be terminated." the ranger said in a calm voice as he grabbed the other two rangers and slammed their heads together making a mix of shrapnel and red dust.

"All went well I assume?" I asked him.

"Affirmative." he replied, turning back the door, "Come with me if you want to live."

To my surprise many ponies in stable barding came out from behind him. Mostly young ponies and elderly.

"What happened?" I asked as my face guards retracted.

"I managed to arrive in time to halt the execution of the last twenty ponies, I am now the only remaining of my model, and all hostiles have been terminated." he said bluntly.

"I have three rangers who helped me stand up for the ponies inside the stable, they will help you protect them for as long as you need." I responded.

He nodded before I flew off to find the three rangers.

Author's Notes:

Okay so I did it again probably, where you say that the character is OP. I did say he was shot hurt during the battle and that he did lose a weapon, though he will probably fix it in a couple chapters. I had an ally die, many of the ponies in the stable die, Arnold is the last of the advanced ponytrons, and yeah, Tempest went Ordo Mallues on the rangers, lol. (Sorry for the Warhammer 40K reference with that.

So if anyone didn't have a good image in their head, here is Arnold Ponegator-

If I made a spelling error with the word "barding" please forgive me, it is not a common word and I could not find anything that would suite it otherwise.

Stay Brony Everypony! (I might make this my new catchphrase...)
