Objective: Friendship

     The termi-pony powered on. After what happened yesterday, he needed to collect some solar energy. It was a lot of gaming. When he got outside, he was welcomed with a strange surprise. Both the moon and the sun were out. According to his calculations, it should be around 10 A.M. After he finished charging, he trotted to the throne room to find Celestia and an all black alicorn dressesdwith armor, who looked a bit like-

     "LUNA! Why are you doing this again!" Celestia shouted. "As soon as that black pony gets here I'll send him to get the elements of harmony!" He took that phrase as his Que, so he walked into sight. But he was greeted with was a powerful magic attack, sending him flying into the wall, breaking through it. He quickly got up and dusted off, to the horror of the guard who witnessed it, and got back to the throne room. His left wing was bent awkwardly and was dripping with blood. His right back leg also dripped crimson blood.

     "You can't get rid of me that easy." He said. Both Luna and Celestia whipped their heads towards him in astonishment.

     "But that should have killed you!" Protested Luna. "Or at least knock you out cold!"

     "Never underestimate me." Was all he said, before he started advancing. "We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way." His eyes were as cold as ice.

     "But the elements..." Celestia began.

     "Aren't needed. You've got me." Luna laughed at that. "Something funny?"

     "You think you can defeat me! That's what!" She said, as she blasted him with a humongous beam of magic. What she saw next would haunt her forever. The pony Luna thought would be her friend, was a robot. Now that the flesh from him was gone, the whirr of electronics could be heard with every step it took. This caused Luna to start crying.

     "What do you have to say, Luna?" He asked. He knew completely well that his robotic form was exposed. He didn't care. Seeing him as a robot must have triggered something in her, for she changed back into herself.

     "I'm... sorry." She said. "Will you be able to still be friends with me?" She asked, scared he might hate her for what she did.

     It was about this point that Celestia was fully aware of her surroundings after being in shock. She looked towards where Nightmare Moon was, and not only saw her sister back in her original form, but also a metallic, pony-like monster by her sister. She saw it nod at her sister, then walk over to her, the soft whirr of electronics getting louder as it got closer. It then produced a needle, to Celestia's horror. As if a bloody head wasn't bad enough.

      He inserted the needle in Celestia's bloodline. She needed anesthetics for the concussion she received. He then dabbed her head with a cotton swab with anti-bacterial agents. He then wrapped her head around said area with gauze. Good thing he had a built in med pac.

     He then proceeded to his newly acquired quarters, where he sent a message eight years into the past, requesting new skin. It basically appeared in front of him in a matter of minutes. Before it fully materialized, he stepped into it, and became the black alicorn he was known for being. I'll have to meet these... elements of harmony Celestia was talking about. He proceeded to the throne room, which oddly looked like nothing had happened. There was a guard talking to a purple Alicorn, who pointed at him as soon as he saw him. Princess Luna and Celestia were nowhere to be found. He was about to leave, when he was stopped by the Alicorn. He turned around and looked her dead in the eyes. "I'm going to have to ask you a few questions." Was all she said.

     "On whose authority?" He asked. "I'm looking for someone right now."

     "My own authority. I mean heLLO I'm a princess. And two, who are you looking for."

     "First off, you don't look like one," he poked her on the nose. "Second is Princess Luna."

     "Are you two-"

     "No. But I just stopped her from doing... Something horrible, and apparently it would be for the second time."

     "Oh. You mean becoming nightmare moon again. I guess you can go, but I'll question you later."

     "Fine by me." He trotted away, leaving the purple Alicorn. He stopped. "I never got your name, 'princess'."

     "Princess Twilight Sparkle, element of magic. Yours?"

     "That's none of your concern." He walked off to find princess Luna. He wished he got under that purple princess' skin.

     BACK WHERE TWILIGHT WAS

     "Spike, send a letter to each of our friends saying that we may have a new enemy."

     "Sure thing Twi." He moaned. If the rumors were true, that pony was practically a living tank.

(No pun intended turtle lovers)

SUSPENSE!!!
