>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!~
