How it started

      Peace and quiet. The only thing you would seem to notice in a garden full of statues. You're probably wondering where I'm at right now since I am speaking right now. Well if you look towards the discord statue to your left, then look to your right, you'll notice a giant stone statue that probably shouldn't fit in this garden of statues. Now what you are seeing is me, a giant machine looking tripod. And that is correct. To let you know, i was once human. I don't know how this happened, but all i can tell you is that one day i was painting a battle scene from war of the worlds from 2005. Next thing i know, a thunderstorm rolls in. A flash of lightning later and BOOM! I black out then wake up in the body of the tripod. Weird right, what's weirder is that i feel as if it was my natural body. I can even feel things as if the skin was my own. And when i move, even though my body is that of a machine, it feels like this machine or in this case me, was organic. Now when i woke back up, it took me a while to gather my thoughts as everyone would. So i geuss i know what yall are about to ask. So here's what happened.

-------1000 years ago

      'Ugh, what happened', i thought to myself. I tried to talk but apparently i can't. I see lights starting to flicker on in this room, or what i thought was a room. Three view ports, system analysis, and im underground. I think i got a pretty good idea of whats happening. I want to freak out, but i can't. But what i can probably do is get out of here and see what's out there. Maybe even see what it's like to do what the tripods did in the movie.

What? Say what you want to say, besides, i don't think i actually have a choice. Really. Welp here we go. I start the process of ascending to the surface from undergound. I see the exit start to turn, like in the movie. Next i started to push the dirt up, and then droped down letting the dirt and road apparently, fall with me. And right now I'm looking at a wagon from the 1400s. Ok, let's get out of here. So i begin to rise out of the ground, after that is done i begin to look around. And i see gryphons, anthro gryphons. They lok at me as i look at them. Then i let out a sound that one would remember for eternity. Next i start to pull out my weapons, and then i began the massacre.

------------present day.

      As it turns out, the first area i attacked was the gryphon kingdom, i don't how many survived but after my job was done, i continued. I went through two different countries,and thentowards my third. Equestria, as soon as i arrived i begun my attack. Then i met them. The princesses. They tried their best to fend me off, then they brought out the elements of harmony. And that is why I'm here in the garden. And----oh look, a school class. Let's see what they're going to do.

      "Alright class, we viewed the discord statue and now we're coming to the statue of the worlds greatest enemy," the teacher began, "now, can anyone tell me what this statue represents?" It's funny seeing them look up at a 100 to 200 hundred ft machine, gaping mouths and all.

      "It looks like an overgrown messed up octapus," the one with the tiara blurted out. I feel really insulted, ok she's going to go if i get out.

      "No, this represents devestation, hence its name. When ever it first appeared, the first thing it did was wreak havoc throughout countries until defeated." I bet that teacher is just talking cause the class won't really answer. So devestation, hmm thats the name she gave me. My little niece would have called me uncle fluffy...pet name from my x-girlfriend don't ask. Bye the way, where did they go? What ever, ill just sit here and...i just saw a pink cloud. Looks like discord escaped.

      "You're quite right devy," oh god, please keep me sane. To point out, i hate nick names like that. Basically you saying something like that is you saying, hey you can punch me in the face as hard as you can. If it's family, i don't care what they call me. They're family. "And i just want you to know that I'm willing to make a deal with you. I'll free you from this prison, if you help take care of the sisters." I might consider, but something is amis. It's a trap. I know it. Ill just turn him to dust, to quick i know, but i don't care.

      'Alright, ill help ya out,' i tell him,'but on one condition, it has to be at night in order for me to escape.'

      "Hmm, deal." And with a snap of his fingers, my countdown to my release began. After several hours later, watching chaos as time went by, discord is put back into stone. And put right by me, again. And would you look at that, by six girls wielding the elements. Who knew. Great now they're looking at me. Lets see. The first one is a unicorn with a purple coat, with black hair with a pink stripe in the middle. She's also wearing a simple average day clothes, pants and shirt. Another unicorn, a white one with purple curled up hair. Wearing a dress i think..who would wear a dress when ever they go outdside!? Ok, alright, oh a pegasus, blue cyan coat, rainbow hair (SKITTLES). She's probably a athlete, basically wearing running shorts and a hoodie. Another pegasus, a shy one, yellow coat, pink hair. Wearing some pants and a light sweater. Now to the regular ponies, a pink one. And an orange one. For the pink one one, she has pink fluffy hair, wearing pink shirt and blue jeans. I think. Now the orange one is a farmer,obviously, wearing a red plad shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Oh, and there are the two sisters, celestia and luna. I don't really have a grudge against luna,,cause i mainly feel sorry for her. Spending one thousand years on the moon. For celestia, it's mainly the reason for her overprotective nature and trying to reason with things. She even tried to talk me  ut of killing everyone, which didn't work. I basically swatted her into a ten story building with one of my arms. But that was that. Oh, it looks like they're leaving for the castle. That's  a good sign, cause im starting to see cracks forming around my tripod head. Oh, and it's night time as well, time for my reappearance in this world.
