Misplaced For Redemption

3 weeks later

No one else has been thrown into Equestria for the past three weeks, much to Celestias relief. Not much has happened really, just Cybe and the others going about their daily lives. Celestia traveled to Ponyville to officially welcome Omega and Cyan to Equestria, all the while giving Sunset an odd look. When she got back to the castle she made her way to the Crystal Empire to check on the mirror, Sunset Shimmer was still there, this was an alternate Sunset in Ponyville with Cyan.

Getting back to our little group, Cyan and Sunset now lived in one of the two remaining houses, the one next to the library. Cyan now worked with Twilight at the library and Sunset worked with Cybe at the farm and was in charge of handling their finances. Cybe was able to get Jewel into the Ponyville school, she still needed an education, most of the kids accepted her, the exception of a certain two earth ponies of course. Any time they were going to walk up to the CMC or Jewel, Cybe was always there, tossing a diamond from hand to hand.

Omega usually hung around Cybe, either helping out around the farm of relaxing by the pond. Whenever he wasn't around Cybe he was with the CMC. He also got a job in the Ponyville Demolition Crew, he fit right in.

Cybe, Discord and Fluttershy started a routine where each Tuesday they would get together for some tea, talking about the weeks events and getting to know a bit more about each other. Although Fluttershy has become conflicted with her feelings, and is finding herself attracted to Cybe, not just by looks but his overall personality. Discord has been trying to encourage her to ask him on a date, and they've been making good progress.

Cybe was walking home from grocery shopping and reached his home. He opened the door to find Omega sitting in the living room. "Hey Omega, how was work?"

"It was glorious, the manager let me use my missiles to destroy an abandoned building, it was amazing."

"I bet." He brought the groceries into the kitchen and began stocking the cabinets. He made himself some tea and Omega a milkshake. They sat quietly while drinking their drinks, waiting for Scootaloo and Jewel to return.

"A letter arrived for you today." Omega handed Cybe a scroll and he read it out loud.

Dear Cybe Catcher

I am in need of your assistance in a task only you, Cyan and Shard can handle, the other two have been informed. Travel to Canterlot in three days, and make sure to bring your spare arms and Omega, this job will be dangerous but it must be done.

Best wishes, Princess Celestia.

"Well, looks like our time for a quiet stay has run out, we got a job to do for the princess in three days."

"About time."

Cybe chuckled and set the scroll down on the table. "I'm going into the workshop if you need me." After the first week Cybe had built a shed out the back of his home, where he would tinker and research different forms of Equestrian technology, as well as a few secret projects. Last week, he began constructing his own version of the compression system so he could carry his arms around instead of keeping them in the case, making it easier for him to switch them out in certain situations.

He walked out of the back door and into his workshop, he flicked the light switch and multiple tables came into view. The workshop also went underground, made possible by Discord. On the lower floor was his secret projects, he climbed down the ladder and looked over something covered in a sheet. He pulled the covers off to reveal an unfinished robot. "Just a few more days, then you'll be complete."

He picked up a blow torch and started to work on the robot. With the sparks creating light, words that were engraved on the torso of the robot came into view.

"C.Treble.1001A"

The next day, Cybe was walking through the meadow to his usual spot by the pond, then he heard someone scream from above. He looked up to see Fluttershy falling. Wasting no time, he leaped into the air and caught her, unintentionally holding her in the bridal position. When they reached the ground a huge blush appeared on Fluttershys face. "Are you alright Fluttershy?"

She stopped staring at him and responded. "Oh...uh, I'm fine, just a bit of wind caught me by surprise and threw me off course is all."

"Well that explains the falling. Where were you going?" Her blush intensified.

"I was...on my way to, uh, see you..." She hid her face in her mane.

"What did you need?" He set her down and she mentally groaned as she secretly wanted to be held by him.

"I was, um, wondering if you would, oh, never mind, it's not important." She was about to turn away when Cybe put his hand under her mussel and made her look at him.

"Hey, you can tell me anything, you know that right?" She nodded. "Now, what's got you so nervous?"

Fluttershy rubbed her front leg nervously. "I, um, I don't know how to phrase this, oh this was a mistake!" She tried to fly off but was caught by Cybe. He brought her to eye level and held her by her shoulders.

"Fluttershy, you need to tell me what's going on, you're making me worried." She looked into his eyes and saw him giving a caring look, a look she loved. "Please Fluttershy, you can tell me anything."

She then sucked up all of her courage. "Open your mask."

"Wh-"

"Just open it." Cybe gave her a confused look but did as he was asked. Fluttershy then grabbed both sides of his head and placed her lips on his. His eyes opened in surprise, but he slowly started to relax and closed them. He brought her closer and accepted the kiss.

Meanwhile, Discord, Jewel, the CMC and the rest of the main six watched these events unfold and gave silent cheers.

The two pulled away from the kiss and Cybe closed his mask to talk. "That's what you were so nervous about?" Cybe still held her close and she wrapped her front legs around his neck.

"Yes, I was afraid you won't return my feelings." Cybe placed his hand on her cheek.

"And what made you think that?"

"Just nerves I guess, you're the first one to ever catch my attention like this." Cybe understood, she was normally very shy and this was an unfamiliar situation for her. He opened his mask and planted another kiss on her lips.

"Well, you don't have to hide anything from me, because I'll always be there for you." She brought him into a big hug and he hugged her back. She couldn't believe that he returned her feelings. Both of their lives would be different now.
