Mysteria had changed a lot since the banishment of Nightmare Moon, a bright white skinned woman wearing a glowing golden dress, her white wings sticking out of the back. She was keeping her carefully crafted mask up as she walked through the grand halls of Mysterium Keep. Powerful lights were powered by hidden wires as Mechanical Humans or Mechas cleaned the floors.

She hated the fact the nobles called them robots, she hated that term as it reminded her of how she used to think until recently. Yet again it was hard to deny that the Mechas cleaning the floors were little more than that, they were designed with the three laws of Mechatronics in mind . They spent all of their days cleaning floors before going into rest mode to recharge.

She walked towards a wooden door with a purple star surrounded by smaller white stars marking it’s centre. She smiled as she saw a young purple Adept Mecha with a violet mane having two streaks of different colours running through it “Twilight, how has your day been?”

Twilight bounced up and down “Princess, today has been great. These books are so interesting, so many words!”

The Princess shook her head “Please call me Celestia. You are my greatest creation Twilight, the three laws don’t operate in you like the others. You can’t kill a human but you don’t have to obey our orders, you are no slave and neither is your brother so please call me by name.”

Twilight blushed “I’m sorry Pri… Celestia, it’s just your the Princess of an entire nation. I don’t deserve to speak to you as an equal.”

Celestia felt a tear drip from her eyes, her first creation she thought of her as nothing more as tool for her own goals. Sunset Shimmer. due to her inexperience in building Mechas her former student malfunctioned in such a way that her three laws failed completely giving her complete free will.

It was not long before the inquisitive young Sunset became disillusioned with her. She fought her way out of the castle incapacitating several guards and even Celestia herself when she escaped. Celestia shook the sad thoughts away before turning to her current student “Twilight, you possess great potential. One day you will become someone greater than I, I know it.”

Twilight blushed “If you say so Princess.”

Celestia internally sighed, she then smiled “Have you figured out the dimensional folding spell yet? It’s quite tricky bit of magic but I’m sure you can do…” Twilight bounced over to a small bookfort, Celestia had to crawl in just to fit but when they entered there was easily several small houses worth of space.

Anypony else without her years of experience would have gasped in shock, she just maintained silence for a few seconds before turning to Twilight “This is very impressive, very few adults can create this big a space with such a small space to store it in.”

Twilight smiled “Thank you Princess, is anything else you can teach me.”

Celestia giggled “Of course Twilight, I have some much harder spells waiting in the wings. Follow me.” Twilight happily ran after the Princess with a smile.

Meanwhile in the bustling city of Mirestorm, an Adept Mecha with brilliant amber skin as well crimson red and bright yellow hair wearing a plain white shirt and blue jeans as well as a blanc leather jacket was humming to herself on a blue couch in front of a quaint TV. A tall Strider with blue skin and orange hair, two blue feathery wings sprouted out of his back wearing a bright orange shirt and dark blue shorts had his arm wrapped around her.

Just then an Adept ran in wearing heavy combat busted in the door of their home, several men of various tribes wearing similar armour ran in carrying automatic weapons “Sunset Shimmer! You are wanted for being a rogue Mecha, you are required to report back to Canterlot!”

Sunset growled “I am not yours to command, I am a free Mecha! The three laws hold no dominion over me, even Princess Celestia couldn’t stop me! What makes me think your pathetic peashooters could stop me!”

One of them pointed a gun at the man beside her, that was the last mistake he would ever make. With mere click of her fingers they all screamed as they evaporated into smoke, leaving not a single trace there had been an intruder other than the destroyed door. Sunset then turned to the man “Storm Chaser, get the kid to the basement! I have somepony to talk to, if I don’t return by tomorrow you will need to move!”

Storm Chaser nodded as Sunset clicked her fingers and vanished without a trace, she arrived in the throne room surrounded by nobles. All of them glared at her, one in particular scowled “So the famous Sunset Shimmer has graced us with her presence! You have no place here Mecha!”

Before another word could be spoken a flash of light filled the room, Sunset glared at the figure “Celestia!”

Celestia raised an eyebrow “My former student, what may I inquire are you doing back here?”

Sunset grimaced “A bunch of heavily armed men invaded my home, threatened my husband and had I not dealt with them harmed my children as well!” The nobles laughed heartily at the nonsense that they thought she was spouting.

Celesta’s hand glowed and she smiled sadly as she saw a glowing golden metallic chamber, there was sign of slight dents from kicking “It seems that she is not lying, she indeed has a womb and even more so an unfertilised egg awaiting fertilisation. You are truly a wonder Sunset, I am shamed that I didn’t realise it earlier.”

The nobles growled “We can’t allow this, those robots can’t be allowed to reproduce. They are tools made by us, to serve us! She must be dismantled immediately!”

Sunset growled only for a huge bout of solar flames to erupt from behind her, she herself was unfazed as she absorbed the flames that hit her. The nobles on the other hand were cowering as Celestia roared “I have been patient with you, tried to tolerate your endless rambling but this is the last straw! Get out of my sight!”

Sunset laughed “Princess, I never thought you would have the nerve.” Her eyes then narrowed “Still I need to know if you were the ones who sent the soldiers after me, and if you did I want them to stop.”

Celestia was about to speak when a pony teleported in “Princess, a group or armed guards attacked the…”

Celestia frowned as she gestured to Sunset “I am well aware of the attack, I am also aware they are dead. She may have shown mercy on those who tried to stop her from escaping but to those who threaten her family… they would not leave alive.”

Sunset frowned as the unicorn disappeared “You have bent watching my home?”

Celestia sighed “You are a rogue Mecha, now I have been trying to work my way around your situation so that I would no longer need to but the Nobles have been resistant.” She then frowned “I will bring my foot down this time, consider that I will have this problem solved soon.”

Sunset nodded “Thank you Princess, wish you luck with your new student.” Sunset clicked her fingers and reappeared, she headed down to the the lounge room and moved the couch revealing a small door, she opened it and smiled “Hubby, Solaria, Moonshadow.”

Storm Chaser came out carrying two girls one was Adept and the other a Strider, Solaria had a blue skin tone like her father but with yellow and orange instead red in her hair as well as blue feathered wings. Moonshadow had a dark blue hair colour like Storm's mother, with orange skin like Sunset. They sat there enjoying each other’s company for the rest of the afternoon.

Author's Note

Now Celestia is a Sanctis, basically they contain the powers of the magic users known as Adepts, the weather masters known as Striders and the masters of the land known as the Gaians.

Mechas can be any one of the human tribes including the Shamanic and Nightwalkers or even the mechanical versions of the more mythical creatures such as Griffons or Dragons.
