All in the Code

Code looked upon his new bunker. Just a small half sphere above the ground, it isn't much to look at. Under it was a very big base of operations, currently sending nano cams around the world to get information on the environment. It seemed this was an inter-species world but it was very low on the technology level. They did have a lot of information on magic though, so Code decided he needed to stay here for that experience and teaching.

This planet seemed to have chimeras aplenty, but so far the cause for the fact that they can stay a species and the original animals seem to be a mystery. This world seems to be mainly quadrupedal when it comes to the sentient species. Ponies, Minotaurs with half bull, Griffons with half lion, Zebra, Donkey, Dragon, and bug equine known currently as a Changeling. The only species he say as a problem, and therefor put on special notice, were the dragon, hydra, and alicorn. All of them almost super beings.

Remembering this, Code sent the research swarms to study graphene. He needed something to make it so he couldn't be hurt or threatened by other races. He looked at the blueprint and the magic force field to check for any imperfections and, finding none, set off to town.

Honestly, nothing really happened on the trail. The only things of note were the blatant disregard of physics at the apple orchard. The corn stalks exploding into popcorn, the cotton candy cloud, the chocolate rain, the long legged animals and that very recognizable chaos magic in the air. When Code sent a data swarm of nanobots to scan the magic, he recognized it as different and sent a swarm of research bots to separate and scan it and report to the research center. He nodded to himself knowing the task would be done effectively and even if they were to be destroyed, the video would be in tact in the bunker. He went back on his walk to the library in silence...

Then he figured out he didn't know where to go, so he went to find a map. After about ten minutes of searching, he got to the middle of town, and noticed just now that everypony was running from him. 'My predictions were right...' he thought to himself as he scanned the map. He would normally try to find a way to get the ponies to trust him, but he was just in a reading mood. Apparently his crash landing had done a number on these ponies, and they don't know a thing about trust. So, alone and now having memorized the map, he went off on his way to the library. Again.

Finally knowing his way this time, he found his destination in record time. Knowing that this was a public library, he walked inside to find the main room. Odd that it had no desk, but Code didn't care. He went and sat in a chair near the left wall and thought to himself what was important to read. He eventually chose to read up on teleportation spells and combat magic, feeling that they could be more useful that anything else. Self defense and transportation, he thought to himself, time to get reading...

Code closed his hundredth book on offensive magic, just realizing he let himself get engrossed in his reading. He looked up to check the time, for some reason not thinking to check his internal clock, and saw the door open to reveal 4 gray and one irritated Twilight Sparkle. While they all walked in, Code saw the malicious look on the gray Fluttershy, but chose to ignore it. When he was about to ask what was going on, somepony asked him a question.

"Hey, what's soaking wet and clueless?" Fluttershy asked from above him.  Before he could respond, a bunch of water was dumped on him and fried his circuits and responded a very mean, "You're face!" And slammed the bucket on the now steaming cyborg. Twilight noticed that the robot was getting very hurt by the water and dried him as best as she could, taking the bucket off of his head as well. She walked away to start looking for... something, while Code was just getting back online.

After he finished restarting, Code looked at the same pony that had fried him being mean to Twilight. He didn't really care about the latter, so he just sent a bolt of electricity to Fluttershy. Not enough to knock her out, but enough to shut her up. Noticing the others also being not very fun to be around, he left the library.

As he was walking, he noticed how wrong the landscape was, and connected it to the strange magic from the farm earlier. The ground was soap and checkerboard, the day and night kept changing, the sky was solid and not just the atmosphere unlike earlier... wait. What? Code sent up nanobots to check the sky and it indeed was a solid object, made of paper that was somehow still up there. He thought about it and told the nanobots to destroy it, not wanting this planet to be harmed to much. It was his home, after all.

Once the paper was gone and the sky was fixed to the nighttime it should be, he nodded and looked straight ahead to the smiling face of a goat. A chimera, if the nanobots scanned him correctly. This was the source of the magic, according to the magic strands.

"Ooh, what do we have here? A party pooper, obviously, but still, I haven't seen anything like you before." He said in a joking voice. Code felt the magic prod at his core computer and responded by breaking it in the middle, making a big backlash shock at the creature. 'If he was trying to do that up there and trying to read my computer, I shouldn't trust him. Of course, if I let him he would be most likely having a stroke with the base elements of my knowledge library, but still.'

"Ow, oh I hope that wasn't you who did that. Ponies who hurt me don't tend to survive very long. Oh,  but you are not a pony, are you? Well, I think I'll just have to force my way in to your mind for my information, thank you very much." The creature, currently titled a draconequus by the name of Discord by their ruler (they couldn't detect the nanobots, so he got away scot free), supercharged his eagle hand with magic and moved to Code's forehead...
