Apple Bloom looked on slightly worriedly as Scootaloo fiddled with the bracelet-thingy right beside her. “Sweetie, do I really need to be this close to her?”

The unicorn was noticeably further away, a notepad hovering in her magic. “I can see just as fine from over here, and I can write notes faster than you.”

“But yer a lot more durable than me!”

“That will teach Scootaloo to be a lot more careful.”

Scootaloo winced a bit, but avoided saying anything that might incriminate her even further. Her exaltations of giant explosions and lasers got her a stern talking too that she didn’t want to repeat.

“Now,” Sweetie continued, “Start the first one, Scoots.”

Beep Beep

With a flash of green light, Scootaloo turned into a smokey-bodied alicorn with slit eyes.

Sweetie nodded. “Yeah, we saw how that worked. Next one.”

“...”

The trio looked at each other. “How do we turn it off?” Apple Bloom asked.


“Second test,” Sweetie Belle called after they figured out that pushing the button deactivated the transformation. The hard part was figuring out how to poke smoke until they ended up merging the two test subjects together.

Scootaloo moved the dial one click and depressed it. A moment later, a large, orange raptor-like bird stood in her place. There was a long purple crest trailing backwards. “Sweet,” she commented.

She took a large flap with her powerful wings and blew Apple Bloom over.


Apple Bloom glared at a blushing Scootaloo as Sweetie Belle notified that she was ready for the third test.

This time, Scootaloo turned into an ice golem. This came with a miniature, but expanding ice rink. Apple Bloom started backing away worryingly as Sweetie Belle instructed Scootaloo that she should start figuring out how to direct her power before she froze a water line.


One hour later

Sweetie Belle looked down at her notes. “Well, that’s ten. We should be--”

“Actually, there looks like another one in here.” Scootaloo cut in, spinning the dial and counting under her breath.

Sweetie tilted her head. “Really? Intelligence suggested that it was locked to ten initially. Alright, let’s try it out.”

Beep Beep Booosh

Scootaloo looked down at herself. There didn’t seem to anything besides a button on her chest-- “Woah, I can see numbers and boxes floating around.” She spun around, swatting the air. “Can’t ... seem ... to touch.”

Sweetie Belle looked like she swallowed a lemon, and trotted over to the spinning pegasus. When she got close, she raised a hoof and knocked it against her head.

Clang

Scootaloo froze and stared at the spot Sweetie hit. Apple Bloom’s jaw dropped. “Bwah?”

Sweetie Belle sighed. “It looks like you’re a robot now.”

“Also, you’re now outlined in red.”

“No respect, I tell you! No respect!” Sweetie Belle growled, stopping away.

There was a whir as Scootaloo’s hoof split apart and dug up a ball of grass and dirt.

Apple Bloom gave her friend a flat stare and poked her in the shoulder. “No, bad Scoot. Bad.”

A/N: The half-assed list I wrote down for the Omnitrot/Omnitrix, so nobody will be caught off guard if I mention something like this again.
1) Nightmare
2) Falcon (super wind attacks, Pigeot?)
3) Ice/Crystal
4) Vine (if ever used, mention Apple Bloom mention she knows where this is going)
5) Rock-Thing (Thing)
6) Fire Dragon (Basically, Charzard with purple hair and flames)
7) Giant electric amoeba (yes, I’ve been reading a lot of Pokemon)
8) Dragonfly (surveillance/scout only)
9) Hydralisk
10) Chopper (As in, that Reindeer from One Piece)
11) ScootaBot (Sweetie Bot, upon reflection after learning about the Omnitrot, isn’t all that surprised.
