Chapter 3 Here come the guards! And..... an element?

*yawn* ' Switches hearing back to avali ' "What do we do? I haven't seen this house here before, what lives here?" Oh no.... sounds like guards. Must be doing a route, as I live close to a road. "Whatever does live here, sure built this thing quickly and wait.... feathers? Either a Pegasus or a Griffin" Well great, I hope they aren't damn pegasi, that would be a pain to deal with, unless.... wait.... are you SERIOUS?! I have that ambassador I bought and the tf2 inventory?! It doesn't carry over! Yay! Even MORE storage space. Wait.... THE INVIS WATCH / CLOAK AND DAGGER / BRAINDEAD RINGER?! I'll take THAT thank you very much! Alright, I'm keeping THIS incase a certain sun princess does something stupid.

Switching my hearing back to human, I get close to my opening hatch ( I actually created a trap door for it, so its closed off ) and peek down, good, just two earth ponies, one stallion, one mare. Alright, time to see if this'll work. " Hey! What are you doing near my home! " I almost yell with fake anger.

The stallion, which has brown fur, dark green mane, roughly 5ft 11in' tall says " Where are you?! Show yourself! " They both draw their weapons, both use a sword and shield combo.

" Listen, I don't want a fight, I just wanted to know why you're near my home, honestly, I didn't think the guard patrolled this area. But anyways, put your weapons away and I'll reveal myself, however, you need to calm down. Oh, and one last thing, you're about to trip on a piece of metal " Just as a finish that last part the stallion trips and falls flat on his face. " HA! Watch where you're stepping next time you idiot! "

" Never call him an idiot you whorse! " The mare, which has white fur, deep blue mane, and is roughly 5ft 2in' tall almost yelled with anger.

" Hey, not MY fault he didn't look where he was going, anyways, I've just got to ask, why don't people look UP?" Putting as much emphasis on the word 'UP' as I can. They look up and see me, a non pegasi or griffin staring back at them.

" WHAT ARE YOU MONSTER?! " They both yelled at nearly the top of their lungs. I quickly cover where I think my ears are.

Idea! Lets lie and say I always have incredibly sensitive hearing, also, I thought of this while they yelled. " OW! Watch it with your volume! That hurts you know! " Lets hope this works.

The mare quickly replies " Ha! The monster cannot stand loud noises! * Screams as loud as possible * " Ok, THAT did hurt, even with human hearing! Oh ho! Looks like she hurt her partner there as well!

" SHUT UP YOU DAMN IDIOT! I'M NO MONSTER AND YOU'RE HURTING YOUR FRIEND THERE AS WELL! " The mare quickly looks down and sees her partner covering his ears

" Oh.... Well if we cannot use noise, take this! " The mare threw her sword at me, THREW IT! I just felt....odd, my body went on instinct, I caught the sword by pressing both of my palms against the flat part of the blade and threw it into my wall.

" Nice try, miss, but that was a 'miss' of a throw, seriously, though. You need far better aim, if it is me you want to maim. " Why in the hell did I just rhyme? Oh wait.... is part of my OC's personality mixing with mine? Scheisse.... that.... might not be good. The mare grumbled and grabbed the stallions sword and did the same thing. Threw it, again. Same action, same result. " Did you honestly expect something different to happen? Seriously, its like I'm trying to fight a child. But really, if you calm down, I'll come down and give your weapons back, if not, I'll just keep them, and throw you off my property, or even better, you two can be a snack for my dragon friend... " I put a large smile on my face as Huo lun lands right behind them. They turn their heads and see her, they begin to shake.

" Alright.... lets just keep it calm here, we won't attack again.... right dust? And creature.... what was your name? " My grin gets even bigger, but turns to a frown when Huo lun starts to open her mouth.

" No Huo lun, they aren't a snack, yet, lets see if they will make a smart choice, or a stupid one, BEFORE doing anything " With that, Huo closed her mouth and walked off to her cave, I grab my katana's and machine pistols then the guards swords and jump down. " Now with THAT settled, my name is Kalali, I am an Avali. It is great to meet you, in spite well... the fact that we got off on the wrong... what's the term for your kind? Foot? Hoof? What? I'm just sticking with Foot, for me. Anyways, I'll give your swords back, on two conditions, firstly, tell me your names, and secondly, could we possibly be friends? " Why did I just say that? I would've waited on that part..... but, for some reason it felt.... right? Gah! Yeah, my OC's personality is being added to my own, or perhaps it is because I'm eager to have friends again for once? I don't know! Either way, I suppose I should just roll with it.

" Well.... my name is Silver sword, that is my partner, Dust blade, but why would you just ask us to be friends? We just threatened your life! " Silver replied.

" Thing is, I never actually was in any danger, I have weapons that are beyond your kinds current comprehension, save of course if I gave a very detailed explanation about how they worked, and also, the worst that would've happened to you was that you would've just woken up near or almost IN the town that's close by with a rather comicly large bruise on your head from me due to knocking you out. All I ever do is make empty threats or shows of force to scare things off, save of course if something tries to hurt me, OR anyone who I consider a friend or ally. THEN they pay the price, and most of the time, its the ultimate price, their life. " I replied. Wow, I never have gotten that in depth with someone I never even knew, damnit, this isn't good, if Avali thought processes are being added to my humanoid ones I need to override them.

" Wait.... so you were able to of killed us at any moment? So that whole thing with the dragon was just a ruse? " Smart, but not smart enough.

" Yes, indeed I could've, but no, the whole thing with Huo was NOT a ruse, she actually Might've eaten you had I not ordered her to stop. She owes me her life, after all. Plus, I want friends, not foes. " Screw it, I'm acting on these impulses for once, lets see how it pans out.

Dust blade finally speaks up and says " Well, if you say your sorry for calling me an idiot, I'll accept that request for being a friend " he holds out his hand and I shake it.

After finishing the handshake I say " I'm sorry for calling you an idiot, and by the way, here are your swords back " I say as I pass out one of the swords. " They're actually rather dull, and brittle, but are magicaly enchanted to cut through things easier, they can fight against other blades that are the same just fine, but against non enchanted blades, that are stronger, they will shatter easily, these aren't a fighting weapon, these are a hunting weapon, watch " I pull out my iron katana, and take one good strike at the other blade and * CLASH * it shattered into pieces.

Dust asks " So.... our blades AREN'T meant for combat? "

" Nope, I'm afraid they aren't, see, I'm assuming the one who provided these blades must've tricked you, as these types of enchantments work well against each other, but when they hit a blade that is stronger, WITHOUT an enchantment, the enchantment fails, as the blades are too brittle and dull to even cut butter without it. So, yes, these are NOT combat weapons, hell, not even hunting weapons, they're display pieces, honestly, if your whole guard are outfitted with blades like these, you could easily be overwhelmed by anyone who has armor on and can swing a proper sword. " Hey, I'm being honest, these weapons are complete shit in terms of blades, and I do NOT like seeing poorly made blades, at all. " Also, your armor is made out of gold, or is that gold plated steel? "

" Gold, and why do you ask? " OH MY GOD! Alright, I KNOW appearances ARE important celly, but GOLD armor? God damnit! Fuck, I don't care how much materials it takes, these two are getting better swords and armor if they become good friends of mine, the shields are made out of wood and steel / iron, so they're ok. But the armor and swords NEED to be fixed.

" Alright, here's the deal, that armor, and those swords, are shit, plain and simple. Don't tell anyone about it. Gold is a very weak metal, hell, even iron out preforms it, as firstly, gold is HEAVY, far heavier than iron, steel would be even better, as its stronger, steel armor and weapons tend to work better than nearly anything else in terms of stronger armor and better weapons. Look, I could craft some better armor and weapons for you, provided we have a good friendship from here on out, I'm not going to do so yet, so understand that you'll be stuck with these terrible weapons for a while, but don't worry, once we become good enough friends, I might make you two some better equipment, but for one main price.... " I let it sink in.

" W-W-Whats the pri-i-ice? " Silver asked with a lot of fear.

" Simple! Just to be able to live here in peace, have friends, and have fun. Is that, that large of a request? " I ask with a smile on my face. " Oh, and by the way, don't tell anyone about me just yet, not until I have a bit better equipment, and a better foot hold here " The both of them just look stupefied and it took about 1-2 minutes for their brains to start working again.

" Lets see how this works out. We need to get back to our rounds, we won't tell anypony... " Silver attempts to say but I interrupt.

" Ach! No! Its ANYONE not ' Anypony ' that's racist you know, as wouldn't anyone who ISN'T a pony feel insulted by that? " Both of them look like deer in headlights for about 10 seconds and stare off for about a minute and they come to a realization.

" By celestia! You're right! " Silver replied.

" Look at that! You're learning. " I ask with a large amount of sarcasm and a fair amount of fake insult. Dust starts to laugh his ass off and silver just gets slightly red and huffs.

" Ha ha! She got ya there Silver! Still though, that isn't right. Say you're sorry, Kalali. " Dust asked with a hint of annoyance

" I'm sorry Silver, you left yourself wide open for that, plus, I can't help myself when a chance like that comes along. Besides, it was all in good fun " I replied.

" I accept your apology, but I really want to know, HOW did you befriend a dragon?! " So, she's asking about that story? Fine then, might as well tell her about my fight with the griffins, but I'm going to leave the shouting part out, don't want all my tricks to be revealed. I tell both of them that story and they go wide eyed at the thought that I took down 20 griffin hunters by myself, and just a small cut to the shoulder for it? But they're curious about what device I used to end them.

" Sorry, but I can't tell you, honestly, if I did, then you would know what to look for, I cannot let that type of tech fall into the wrong hands, as if it does.... bad stuff happens. I mean REALLY bad things happen. " They seemed rather in denial about that. As silver asked

" These types of weapons could allow a large advantage to our guard, they would allow far better protection of our citizens, and allow us to reduce the amount of times lives are claimed by wild animals as we don't even have to be up close as anypony can... " I caught her quickly.

" Argh! ANYONE! A-N-Y-O-N-E! Remember? " I say with a fair amount of irritance and annoyance in my voice. She then continued.

" Right, we won't even have to be up close, as ANYONE can wield these weapons and fight from afar far better than any crossbow. " I then procede to tell them about what could happen, such as explosives being made to use the same type of tech, allowing far longer range, then eventually, leading up to WW2, they were stunned silent as I continued, I still didn't explain how the weapons worked, learning of a weapon, the atomic bomb, capable of destroying a nation with a simple press of a button, they nearly fainted at the fact that it had been used, not once, but twice during WW2. And that once they're made, it will just keep getting deadlier.

" NOW do you truly understand why I CANNOT allow any more races to have access to this type of technology? All it does is advance and KILL. The more it kills, the quicker it advances. Sure, you use more deadly tech to prevent allies from dying, but what happens if your enemies out pace you in development? You die, your NATION dies. Then the cycle repeats, until only ONE nation is left. That is how it is, for any species, non violent or not. It will happen, it might take longer if your kind get the tech, but it WILL happen. " I WILL need to keep an eye out for the black market, as I know for a fact even equestria will have one. I'll need to stop whoever make these things once I disassemble them with the recycler I plan on making. After that, I'll need to hunt down whoever supplied those griffins, I'll need to find a serial number, or something like that, as nothing who makes something such as this wouldn't leave their mark SOMEWHERE on it. So I'll need to get some tools to disassemble it the old fashion way, then throw the rest into the recycler. " Oh, one last thing, make sure other guards do NOT patrol this area, I don't want any more unexpected house guests, as honestly, I'm going to be having a large castle like fort set up, with some traps, just letting you know, since I truly hope our friendship stays true. " And there it is again, those impulses, damnit.

" Alright, we won't tell anyp-anyone, about this place, but I can't be sure to keep other guards away, but how are you going to build a castle? " Dust replied. I point toward Huo's cave and then to the one handy little item I have, the matter manipulator. Dust then asks " What is that little orange thing going to do with building a castle? Looks more like a tool to hit something with that a building tool "

" Watch this then. " I reply with a large smirk. There was a tree that I wanted to remove from my flat land area, so I opened up the manipulator and the watched as the tree started to shake, and it got worse, then it collapsed and turned into a nice pile of logs. They just had their jaws dropped by that, then I took all the logs and make an extension to my current place as a porch with a roof overhang. They were doing a pretty good impression of a fish out of water. " Yeah, THIS is called the Matter manipulator, can't harm living things though, well, save for trees, other than that, it can't harm a fly, but its great for mining, building, chopping trees, gathing liquids EVEN lava and poison without trouble, and more. Can't exactly tell you HOW it works yet, because I don't trust you completely, yet. But I may in due time. " Once they returned to normal...

Silver asked " So hold on, this thing, can build castles, destroy mountains, chop trees, gather liquid from water to lava, and far more, and yet it cannot harm any living thing other than a tree? That is amazing! But you can't show us how it is made? Why not?! It could revolutionize how ponies.... " I stop her right there.

" NOT PONIES! PEOPLE! ANYONE! EVERYONE! PEOPLE! Sorry, but its AnyONE, EveryONE, and PEOPLE for all types of creatures, not just ponies. " She got a rather angry glare, but dust kept his cool, and actually nodded in understanding.

" FINE! It could Revolutionize how PEOPLE do things today! Mining, building, and more would be far safer AND faster! It would be far easier to move the water back to cloudsdale and many other things! Honestly what could happen if this type of tech DID come into play? " Did she seriously ask that? I'll see if dust is smarter than he seems.

" Dust, care to explain to quick silver here why it would be such a bad idea? Or should I? " Dust actually nods and says.

" Look Silver, what would happen if, oh I don't know, someone had one of those things, and went after the supports of canterlot? How quickly could they send it down the mountain? Judging by how quickly our Avali friend here 'chopped' down that tree, I'd say less than 20 minutes, and that's for EVERY support of canter lot. It would only take 1-4 of the right ones before canterlot goes down. That would be, what? less than a minute? See why this stuff is dangerous? " Silver just looked like a deer in headlights staring off like she heard the worst truth possible and quietly said...

" You're right, that technology IS dangerous, which is why...... " she looks at me and... oh shit. " WE NEED TO GET IT FROM HER! GIVE IT TO THE PRINCESSES! THEY'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO! " Crap! Not good! She starts striking at me, I quickly jump back up into my home and make a wooden club to knock her out. Luckily, dust was actually smarter than he seemed, and tried to hold her back, but was hit in the head by her shield, and mouthed ' Knock her out! ' so that's what I intended to do. I also make a shield and drop down. And * CLONG! * She's out like a light.

" Mother of mercy.... I did NOT want to do that! " Dust got up and said his mind.

" I have to agree to that, seriously, while yes, your tech IS dangerous, you know better than to use it wrongfully, right? While I may believe that celestia knows far better than I do, I sure as hell can make some decisions from time to time. " So a rebellious sort? GREAT!

" Of course I know better, doing such horrid deeds with such a powerful and amazing tool is just one of many things I despise. " I spit out the last word with a lot of venom in it. Dust agrees and grabs his unconscious friend and asks.

" So we're clear, you won't do anything bad with that, and we'll agree not to tell anyone, and attempt to keep other guards away. " I nod then I add.

" Yep, we'll be friends from here on out, so long as silver doesn't do something stupid like that again, oh, and you might want to get that hit looked at, I think I see blood. " I say the last part with a bit of worry. Dust puts his hand to his head and see some, but not very much, blood.

" Uh oh, I better get going to nurse redheart, have a nice day, Kalali. Hope when we meet again and when we do Silver isn't so much of a moron. " I wave bye and they go. I watch them from here to the town and they make it. So I get back to doing what I was doing, but notice something in my H.U.D that surprises me, I notice I could warp to the ship, but I bet it wasn't over equis, by my luck.

So I'll need to place a flag, which meant I needed woven graphene, so I start to work. I happen to get lucky and find a coal vein and mine it, I end up with about 20 coal and then make about 50 woven graphene, I needed the coal for later, I also need to find tungsten, along with other things, so I make a flag and name it ' Testing 1 ' and I then hit accept and warp to ship. HOLY SHIT! ITS TERRIFYING! I end up in what is considered a basic BYOS ship from the frackin mod, I face palm, of COURSE I couldn't have it the easy way, damnit. But what is this? A FUCKING LARGE FTL DRIVE?! HELL YEAH! Now lets check the fuel and.... oh scheisse, over 100000 fuel?! How is that possible?! Oh well! I'm taking any perk I can get, question is.... where is that gate-way?

Need to find a lush planet, that is, if this one doesn't count. I warp down to the planet I'm above and notice two things, firstly, its still equis, secondly, I'm on TOP of my house, and thirdly, I remembered I needed to craft the fucking RPG growth mod's book. So I craft it, pick the ninja class ( My favorite ) and notice the hardcore option is gone, and that my health and all that are fine. In case you have no idea what that means, it means that, no problems with reduced health, or anything like that. Another bloody perk? Ah well, thank my lucky stars.

Heh, S.T.A.R.S, I wonder if I'll ever meet Nemesis or Gilgamesh? Who knows? Anyways... I quickly get back to working. gathering more and more materials, mainly cobblestone, and then I begin building the walls, gate, lock, and towers of the place, it already looks like a stone castle, but I add a few pit fall traps, a few dead fall traps ( same thing used to catch and kill the cockatrices ), along with 4 boulder fall traps ( Remember those rock traps in skyrim? Multiply the amount of rocks by 5-8 and have the same size of rocks with PROPER aiming of the rope, which is near the middle of the trap, and you have what I made. ), I also move the walls and have it so that they go all the way back to Huo's home, now NOTHING can get inside her home, other than another dragon, me, anyone she decided to trust, OR something with a LOT of magic power, I.E those princesses.

Well, since the matter manipulator made this take roughly 2 hours, I still have a lot of daylight left and if I woke up in the morning, which I think I did, I'll have around.... hm.... hoping their time system is the same as back home, I'll have about... from roughly 8:00AM when I woke up, to about 7:00Pm when the sun goes down during summer, but it feels like its either spring or fall, so it would be 8:00AM - 5:30PM. But if its winter then I'll have a problem, gets light at about 6:45AM and gets dark 11 hours later, not good. I hope its spring right now, and judging by the leaves on the trees, I'm right. I say as I look around after finishing my new home, deconstructing my old one and making some new crafting stations that I need.

I have all the primitive crafting areas ( My current ones, which are: Inventor's table, Primitive furnace, Anvil, wooden workbench, foraging table, Spinning wheel, machining table, 2X Wooden centrifuge, 2X handmill, Avali Nano-lathe, Avali Nano-loom, Avali Weapon Workbench, apiary crafting station, and an Armor-works. ) at the bottom floor of the main building in the center, then of which, I go up to the top, which has a balcony and place down a stone roof, wooden floor, and carpet, I'll need glass for what I want to do. I also need silicon. But for that, I need sand. So since I have Food, water, Shelter, and most of the rest, its time to find some sand. Reminds me, I think I saw a fair amount back at that lake, so I switch my hearing back to avali ( I am NOT being snuck up on ) and went off to the pond I got my water from. I arrived but I saw something I didn't expect, what are the elements in order?

Generosity, Laughter, ********, Honesty, Loyalty, Magic. What's one missing, and guess who I see at the pond? I know you can figure it out, if you have a brain. The element of Kindness herself, Fluttershy. And HOLY HELL! She is short but her brea NO! Mind outta the gutter, I'm not male anymore, I have to deal with it, although.... I seem to be a mix of Avali and human, as I have breasts with.... 'Ahem' those *parts*, on them. Along with the private areas of humans as well. My guess? I'm a raptor, but technically, griffins have the same... *parts* as humans here, same with ponies, albeit, slightly different. And since I'm a raptor... I'm either part human, or part griffin or just Anthrofied, I'm still guessing human though. Oh shit! I duck down out of my mental battle with my mind that I'm still straight to avoid Fluttershy seeing me, good thing I was behind a bush. I watch her, and wait. That little devil of a rabbit, angel, started pointing at my bush, I could actually understand it. ' Something is in that bush, I'm going to deal with it. " Aw crap, not good.

I decide all or nothing, point my manipulator out of the bush, which fluttershy notices, and take the sand I needed, and bolted! I just kept running until I was back at base, I shut the door behind me, locked it, and quickly got to work. Switched my hearing back to human and quickly throw the sand into a handmill, which means I have to do this manually, so I throw the sand in and surprise! I have to crank it.... damnit starbound logic! I needed help here! I quickly make glass then a tinkering table, alchemy table, and green house. Then I heard knocking, god damn knocking. I heard a soft voice ask " Who's there? I promise I won't hurt you, Angel bunny and I saw you by the lake, can you please come out? I bet you're a nice pony. " That last word, PONY, irritated me, as that is racist / specieist, and that is far wrong.

I say out of irritance " First question, not going to tell you, yet. Second part, I don't know if you will, or won't. Second question, no, I can't come out, I'm working on something, and I needed sand as a last moment thing for it to work. And the last part, I'm NOT a pony, so don't call me one. Look, miss, I'm sorry for being rude, but it irritates me how often your kind say ' ponies this, ponies that ' rather than what the proper term would be, PERSON, P-E-R-S-O-N. Person, in its meaning, can mean a being of ANY race, not just ponies, as would you call a minotaur a pony? Nope. That would be insulting. Would you call a Griffin a pony? Nope. Same reason as the minotaur. So again, the proper terms for those types of things are: AnyONE, not ANYPONY, everyONE, not everyPONY, and PERSON, not PONY. That clear? " I hear a small amount of crying at first, but then it stops, then a lot of apologizing comes after that.

" Listen, don't feel bad. Happens, but saying sorry won't make up for the mistake, if it keeps happing. Actions speak louder than words. " I replied. " And now I'm done. I had to do that, or else something wouldn't of gotten done quick enough. " Which was getting some silicon. " So just give me a few more minutes and I'll be right out, I just need to add a few finishing touches on my project, THEN I'll be able to come out and talk, this is a rather difficult thing to make, so let me concentrate. " I quickly place down the tinkering and alchemy tables and craft some stuff, I need core fragments for what I plan on making, along with tungsten, MM's ( Manipulator module ), UM's ( Upgrade Module ), and TC's ( Tech Card ), and many other things. No, scratch that, I need EVERYTHING I can get. But something surprises me, I have 6 MM's, how do I have them? No damn idea. All I know, is that I need 2 more for a power output upgrade. I quickly get ready for fluttershy and get back down to the bottom of my home, all or nothing here.

" Alright, I'm done, thanks for being patient, I needed to get that project finally finished. Now, give me a sec and I'll get the door. " Alright, I have about 30 seconds, now, what should I do? Shock and Awe with a mix of kindness? Just say I'm an alien? Gah screw it. I'm going with Shock and Awe. I go up to the door and open it, there is fluttershy, conversing with the animals near my home. Angel points at me and fluttershy looks over, her eyes widen, and guess what she does? Essentially, she glomps me.

She says " You're so cute! " Cute?! Are you bloody serious?! CUTE?! God damnit.... wait.... why did I think tha.... aw crap, yep, personality merge, well, my OC hated being called cute just as much as Lightning Bliss, if not more so, but anyways, now what? " Oh! I'm sorry for that.. " She moves back and hides behind her mane, now THAT is cute.

I say through slightly grit teeth " Its alright, can you PLEASE not call me cute again? I do not like that, ok? Oh, and if you want, feel free to come in, but no going higher than the bottom and 2nd floor. Any higher has experiments and possibly dangerous equipment. So yeah, avoid going any higher. "

" Oh, ok. I'm Fluttershy, what is your name? "

" My name is Kalali, I am an avali, it is a pleasure to meet you, Fluttershy, if you wish, you may come inside. " She seemed a little hesitant at first, but eventually agreed.

" Ok, come on angel, lets go. "

" Ach! No. No Pets allowed inside currently, not until I'm able to seal off the higher floors. I don't want anything other than completely sentient and sapient beings in here until then. As pets wander, when they do, they might find something that they really SHOULDN'T of found. Mess with it, and cause a huge problem. That isn't happening here. So, no. Your pet bunny / rabbit there has to stay out until I fix that. But if it makes them feel any better, they can be right outside the door, or patrol the perimeter, but do NOT go by the huge gated cave by the back of my property, dangerous stuff is in there, I had to gate it off until I can figure out how to deal with it. I already have a solution underway, so don't worry about it. Just avoid it for the time being. Do you understand? "

Angel does NOT look happy, but I open my mouth and reveal my teeth and say with just a look ' Go against the rules and you're my dinner ' angel then adopts a face of fear rather than anger and quickly hops off. Fluttershy looks a bit sad but I say " Sorry, but honestly, I cannot allow pets in here yet, I may very well just separate the building all together, or make a bunker, I don't know, point is, is that until I can seal it, it is just too dangerous. You don't want angel getting hurt, do you? " She nods and we walk inside.

" Oh wow, this is a nice home. " Seems as if she agrees.

" Yeah, its ok, not as good as it could be, it honestly needs windows, but I don't have glass yet, and if you're wondering, I built this myself, all by myself, it could be SO much more, I just didn't have the time. I actually plan on adding more rooms, and a few guest rooms just incase someone wants to come over for when I get some friends. " What? I always plan ahead, seriously, I plan on making this thing BIG, seriously, it'll have turrets, traps, EVERYTHING!

" You made this by yourself? Oh my! That is nice. But how did you do that? If you don't mind me asking, that is. " I already showed two ponies so I honestly don't see the harm in it.

" Well.... that's the easy part, actually, this " I show the matter manipulator " is how I did that, watch this. " I take the manipulator and open a 2 x 2 hole in my wall. " See? Notice how it did that? Now, put your hand through it. " She see it isn't an illusion, and her hand actually goes through the hole. I replace it. " Now try " and it impacts like normal.

" Oh wow. So how did that little orange thing do that? If you don't mind me asking, that is. " I basically explain how it works to her, and it shocks her to hear that it can do as much as it can. I calm her down and I make her promise not to tell anyone, not anypony, ANYONE. Yes, I had to correct her twice on just that alone, a total of 6 times with different types of words. She wasn't able to connect the dots, as to what it could do to canterlot, but I'm assuming she will figure it out eventually.

" Well, I think I need to get back to work, I have far too much to do, and not enough time to do it in, you may drop by at any time, but please promise me this, do NOT tell a single person, not pony, person, as in, any member of any species, about me yet. I want to get a better foot hold here before I reveal myself, ok? " She nodded and called angel, then left through the front gate. Gah, I need to be more careful, hopefully she doesn't tell a soul, as if she does, that will be bad. I already told two guards, and now one of the elements know.

Author's Note

Sorry this took so damn long, I had a rather large amount of stuff to do, so I had a few snags with making this, I managed to finish it, hope you liked this chapter, oh, and be sure to point out any grammatical mistakes, as I don't have a proof reader, nor editor, I do this myself.
