*The waiter immediately runs and gets them menus. Nightmare Moon looks it over.*

What do you think looks good?

Yes, We knew that. Her name is ‘Celestia’.

Though if you were going to say 'Pinkie Pie’, We always suspected there was something off about her…

Yes. We have numerous board games, a pool table, as well as one of those newfangled games machines. One of the anons brought it by, along with a copy of something called ‘Pony Fortress 2’. We haven’t had a chance to look at it yet, though.

Certainly! What are you in the mood for?

Well, We have to keep an eye on all Our potential enemies… though We suppose even the standard Fluttershy isn’t really much of a threat.

*The reanimated hits Araimas foot and crushes and severs it from his leg which started bleeding a black molasses-like fluid* Gagh! *Notices the Alarms from Sturm’s recent assault* Better make this quick *takes out a small device labled EMP-S-132 and attaches it to the reanimated and starts pumping energy to its compution circuits* Alright lets find who the one ginvin me the hastle *makes way for the castle*

*The keep is under lockdown, with all entrances sealed. That doesn’t mean much now, however, seeing as there is a gaping hole in the wall. Automatic gunfire can be heard from inside.*

Ah, hello Luna.

*A messenger appears and whispers something in Nightmare Moons ear. Shortly thereafter alarms start to sound.*

It seems We are under attack. It’s just a small team, and they’re cornered, however. We are confident Our guards can handle it. What did you wish to see Us about?

Yes, very good. *She takes the chocolate.* What service do you desire from the mighty Nightmare Moon?

This is your date. We will follow wherever you wish to go.

*She does so.*

Since I’ve been using them quite a bit, I thought I’d provide some specs for Nightmare Moon’s reanimated.

The reanimated are dead anons, strapped into power armour, implanted with cybernetics, and brought back to life through powerful magic. Those of you who follow my tumblr may have read about their creation, but the short version is they were designed by NMM’s anon research teams using a combination of NMM’s magical knowledge and schematics found in an extra-Equestrain book. Currently they exist in two forms, stage 1 and stage 2.

The stage 1 reanimated are vaguely humanoid in shape, approximately 2 metres tall, and are armed with tungsten-carbide blades mounted on their arms and a shoulder-mounted smartgun socket (normally outfitted with a 13mm machine gun). Alternate variants may also be equipped with a flame thrower or nerve gas pods. They are extremely difficult to destroy. Anti-tank weapons can burn through their armour, but unless the control circuitry mounted in their brain is destroyed they will continue to function. The good news is their armour is not fully nightmarium treated, and a skilled magician could worm their way into them and destroy them with magic.

I envision them looking something like the hunters from Marathon. Like this:

The stage 2 reanimated are completely different in appearance, being hovering armoured spheres. These ones are completly coated in nightmarium, so magic is completly ineffective. However their antigrav mechanism is sensitive and susceptible to external EMP, and they are very slow moving (topping out at about 10 kph).

They are armed with a pair of .75 calibre rotary-barrel anti-air cannons, and a suite of surface-to-surface missiles. I envision them looking something like the juggernauts from Marathon. Like this:
