We all were just staring at the metal pipes and wires of the robot that was standing next to Steely Armor. This was just out of the ordinary.

“So what is this exactly?” I asked.

“Well, it has a hologram maker that allows it to make an ideal clone for anyone, and on top of that it has a voice changer to copy the voice of others. It has cameras that record images and voices, and a set of everyday communication, chess prediction factors and such.”

And just when he said that I got the answer I needed.

“So this is how you can be in two places at the same time!”

“Yes, well ... Technically, I use it to attend all the classes that I want to have the lessons and information given restored, so I won’t miss anything. But now that I’ve shared it with you, you must promise that you won’t tell it to anyone!”

“Don’t worry,” said Fluttershy,“ your secret is safe with us.” Then she smiled.

“I have to say, that’s so convenient!” Twilight said with a very amused face. I don’t blame her. It does sound so convenient, though there was something else that needed to be asked.

“And what about your ECHO Launcher?”

He walked towards the remains of the other Cloney. “So you figured out the name. Actually, it’s called the ‘ECHO staff;’ the ECHO launcher was just the part that allowed the zero point gravity to be launched, but it needed a stabilizer to control the direction that the electromagnetic force needed to go. You only had the first part, and I doubt that you’ll be able to figure anything out from that blueprint.” He took a look at the damaged Cloney and continued.

“I got the inspiration of it from Twilight. When she showed me what she could do with her magic, the idea popped into my head. It took me a year to make this thing work!”

That was really fascinating, that he just crafted a device that could act like the magical power of Twilight and crafting robots to allow him attend all of his classes and record them. Twilight, Applejack and I were just staring at each other, though Applejack looked more confused than impressed but it still worth mentioning.

Twilight and Applejack helped Rainbow Dash and Rarity to their feet and while I was helping Pinkie (which meant that I got a look at unique way her mind works), I suggested heading to out and tell everybody that everything was fine, but Steely Armor refused. “I better clean this up myself. You go and say you did it all; I’d rather stay unnoticed.” The other Cloney picked up the remains of its damaged self. Then they disappeared at the end of the hallway.

We headed out and told everyone that we did everything, not Applejack of course, but that was what he asked for. And I respected his request. Though everyone was cheering I explained everything to Principal Celestia and how Trixie had got blind by the force of the Amulet. It turned out to be fine, but she still need to fix the damages she caused. Well, it was partly my mistake so I guess she won’t have to do it alone. Besides, I’ve done it before.

But it was then that Ms. Dusty Fossils came out of the crowd. “I am not going to put up with this nonsense anymore! With all respect, Principal Celestia, I have to say that I won’t be staying in this school for one more minute. I QUIT!”

Well, that actually wasn’t too bad, to be honest. But what I understood today was that, what enabled us to defeat Trixie wasn’t her lust for power, but the creativity and intelligence that Steely Armor used in order to confuse her and take the amulet. Sometimes you just need to think a little bit more creatively. Who knows, maybe even Trixie could learn a thing or two that way.

Also, Steely Armor decided to hold the amulet. He promised he keep it somewhere safe. I sure hope so.

Sunset shimmer, that was quite some challenge. But I am here to inform you that Zecora actually through the amulet in quick sand to prevent anyone from finding it. I wonder how it got there.
