>You are Treads Softly

>Filly

>And most importantly

>The BEST tank commander!

“Rrrrrmmmmbbbmbmbmmmmll”

>And by your side was your BEST driver, Little Star!

“We’ll show ‘em today, Little Star!”

>His plush head droops slightly

“I know I say that all the time, but we really will today! I have a secret weapon!”

>You present the most powerful round your behemoth could ever fire

>It was FOUR PLY

>The Guard will HAVE to take you seriously now!

>Tanks ARE real!

>You traverse the yard in your unstoppable cardboard juggernaut

>You grind to a halt

“Eeeeeeee!”

>Your screeching brakes catch the attention of a pegasus guard immediately

>”Oh! Hello little filly! Quite the impressive armor you have today! Is that a new cannon?”

>You nod gleefully, ready to explain the robust composition of the new main cannon

>You got it from a post office!

“Sure is, Mister Sir! This one can fire a new round I made!”

>”Who’s this brat? Why is she boxed up like a present?”

“BRAT!?”

>”Oh, hey Siqueue! Did you want to see little Tread’s new heavy armor?”

>”…Her what?”

>”Her heavy armor? She calls it a tank!”

>”That’s completely rid-“

>Nopony calls you a BRAT!

>You load the 4 ply payload into your main cannon

“GUNNER, FIRE!”

>Siqueue cocks his head to the side

>”Huh?”

>The round flies out at an alarming speed

Thunk!

>Siqueue remains nonplussed

>…For all of two seconds

>Mister Sir struggles to keep Siqueue from assaulting you

>”I’LL REND THAT LITTLE TWERP!”

>”EASY! IT WAS JUST A JOKE!”

>You ready another round for delivery when suddenly

>”HEY!”

>You look in the distance.

>There appears to be two heavily armored ponies walking towards the commotion

>Not like it matters

>Your armor was the HEAVIEST!

>Nothing will beat your tank!

>You squeeze Little Star totally not because they’re a bit scary.

>”Any particular reason you’re trying to assault a FILLY, Private Siqueue?”

>”The little ankle biter was disrespecting a Guard, sir. Completely uncalled for.”

>”And Siq’s salty he got rekt by a filly”

“That’s right! I’ll take you on any day! Gunner, load 4 ply!”

>Little Star droops in response

>Siqueue can only grumble as the blue unicorn approaches you

>”The name is Steel Charge.”

>His voice takes on a kinder tone as he speaks to you

>”So I heard you shot one of my ponies with something. I take it your ensemble is to blame?“

“It’s a tank! Its got heavy armor, and unmatched firepower! Kneel before the power of tanks!”

>”Unmatched firepower?”

“That’s right!”

>At first, he’s somewhat confused

>Then, a smile slides across his face and he chuckles

>”Show me.”

>The shot rings out

>A hefty roll of booty wipe rockets out of the barrel

>And strikes Steel right in the face

>Time seems to slow as the plushy round squishes his muzzle a bit

>He topples backwards

>Steel’s armor clatters as he falls onto his back, and his two friends rush to his aid

>Siqueue sounds somewhat surprised

>”Sir?”

>Sir tacks on a much less caring, and more deadpan

>”Staff Sergeant. Please. It’s just toilet paper.”

>You celebrate your victory in the duel

“WOOO! YAY! Another victory for us!”

>Little Star bounces and tumbles through the air

>Steel sits up and examines the spent round

>”Huh. Four ply?”

>He shakes his head and looks at you

>Before putting his hoof to his head

>”OH! OUCH! I’ve been bested! Farewell, cruel world!”

>He falls back down, defeated

>His two friends on the other hoof…

>”I don’t get it?”

>”It was JUST toilet paper!”

>HE MOCKS YOUR POWER?!

>You’ll show them!

“FIRE!”

>Another salvo of rounds find their marks, clunking off the helmets of the two remaining guards

>”Guys! Go down! Don’t make the filly sad!”

>Sir just simply nods after the hit

>And Siqueue looks awfully mad…

>But he won’t for long

>Tanks have never let you down!

>”Oh! Arhg! I! Can’t! Stand! Any more! UHRGH!”

>Sir falls to the floor, tongue sticking out and legs pointed to the sky

>He holds the pose before rolling to his side with a heavy ‘whump.’

>You look at Siqueue

>He rolls his eyes and droops his head, just like Little Star

>Before falling unceremoniously onto his belly

>And quietly saying

>”It appears I have been defeated. Noooo.”

“That’s right!”

>You look around, and note the final armored guard

>Reinforcements?!

>You’ll show them!

>You’re out of high ply rounds though…

>Little Star shifts on your head slightly

>…

>What’s that?

>…

>Brilliant!

“Great idea Little Star! As the heaviest armor around, we can just ROLL over her! Let’s go!”

>You engage the engine and lock the turret

“Grrrummbblrblrrrrr”

>And you speed forward towards your target

>All shall fall before Treads and Little Star!

>The best tank team in EQUESTRIA!

>She stands completely still

>Appearing to be in her own little world

>Soon she’ll be UNDER the world!

>Because you’ll run her over

>With a tank.

>…

>Yes.

>You speed up to her

“Brace, Little Star!”

Thump

>Your advance is halted!

>The target appears to be heavier than she looks

>You growl menacingly

>And she winces

>Probably in pain!

>You’ll get her yet

“Reverse, Little Star!”

>If at first you don’t succeed..!

>You strike her again

>And again!

>Each time she winces and looks around, begging for help!

>Beads to sweat trail down her face, and she swallows hard

>With a final push, you scrape her armor with the side of the box and put some distance between you two

>Surely that will have done it!

>She stands still

>Looking quite confused and flustered

>Before clattering to her side, legs extended and erect.

>She pauses a moment when on the floor

>Then she suddenly opens her mouth

>”Oh no. I am hit.”

>Aweso-

>”I am bleeding out. Oh no. Mother. Save me. I don’t want to die. It is over. Now I am dead. Bleh.”

>…

>You turn to speak to Little Star privately

“Did- Did we go overboard?”

>You look around at the carnage around you

>Four ponies lay on the floor

>Rounds scattered about

>And scuff on the fourth’s armor reveals your relentless brutality

>You hold up Little Star again.

“Nopony will know we did these war crimes, oka-“

>”Not bad, little filly!”

>Huh?

>”You were really great at driving that thing!”

>I WAS?!

>”Your armored construct there really showed us!”

>IT DID?!

>”Might be the best weapon I;ve ever seen, too!

>IT IS!?

>”Makes me want to get a… what was it, tank? Yeah! One of those!”

“EEEEEEEEE”

>You did it!

>Now they HAVE to take you seriously!

>Tanks exist!

>For realzsies!

>You squeak in excitement and hug Little Star close.

>It’s everything you ever wanted!

>You got to shoot ponies AND run one over!

>And now they love tanks too!

>You throw Little Star into the air and yell

“WOO HOO!”

>He tumbles lazily

>…

“You said it Little Star!”

>Victory is yours!

Whump

>”Annoying filly.”

>…

>You’ll get him back so hard for this.

>And you’ll use FIVE, no SIX ply next time!

Fin!~
