Terminator

School

Dinky was sitting at her desk and thinking about her new friend. She was wondering about which race he belonged. He was standing on 2 hooves and had 5 fingers on each hand, like Spike, but Spike had only 4 fingers on each hand.

"Alright class, today is a special day, because of one of our acquaintance. Greet Lyra Hearthings," said Mrs. Cherilee. Then the door opened and Lyra entered the room.

"Hello class, today I'm gonna tell you about one unique race. Humans." With those words, she reveals one poster, and Dinky was surprised to see a bipedal creature that looked like...that human.

"Ou, I didn't even know his name," thought Dinky to herself. Soon Lyra began her lecture about humans, their hands, inventions, etc. Soon she ended and said:

"That's all we know about humans, so the class does you have any questions?" Meanwhile, CMC was chatting with each other, while Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were discussing something. Lyra and Cherilee sighed, but then we're surprised to see one hoof lifted. It was Dinky. All class turned to her.

"Mrs. Lyra, I have a question?"

"Oh of course, what's your question?"

"Umm, how much these humans are strong?"

"To be honest, it depends on their diet and schedule. But I think they can lift 3 ponies."

"Does their skin can't be pierced by sharp objects, like teeth?"

"No actually, their skin is like our skin, but it's not so colorful as our skin," said Lyra. "But why you said teeth like an example?"

"Pft, she is just weird like her mother," said Diamond Tiara.

"Diamond, we had already had a conversation about this," said Mrs. Cherilee.

"I am just telling the truth, her mother has crossed eyes and she always bumps into something. She is just weird as her daughter." Dinky used to Diamond's insults, but that hurt her and she began sobbing. Suddenly Pipsqueak approached her and splashed water from a bucket onto her.

"Wash your mouth," he said.

"Agh, my mane, you will pay for it." Tiara got up from her chair but was stopped by Cherilee.

"Alright everyone calms down. Diamond, you will stay after class, while Pipsqueak will write on the board "I won't splash water on somepony" 20 times. I hope you understand." Pipsqueak nodded, while Diamond Tiara frowned. Soon the ring rang and everyone ran away from the room. Pipsqueak approached Dinky and said:

"How are you?"

"Ugh, fine. Thanks for this, you know, splashing water on Diamond."

"Heh, she needed to clean her mouth long ago. Sadly, I hadn't got a soap."

"Yeah," said Dinky. Soon she came out of school and headed to the edge of the forest where she saw terminator standing in the same place. But then she saw a manticore with a twisted head.

"He attacked first," said robot.

"Alright, anyway let's go. Follow me." with those words both headed to Dinky's house.

Few minutes earlier

Fluttershy and Angel were walking in the Everfree forest. Soon they found tracks that led to trees. When they approached the spot, they were shocked by what they saw. They saw 6 dead timberwolves and a manticore with twisted head.

"Oh my.." Fluttershy closed her eyes to not look at this scene. Then Angel rubbed her hoof and pointed to the footprints on the ground. Fluttershy didn't see such prints before. They decided to follow them.

Roar

"Oh Celestia, that animal needs help." With those words, Fluttershy headed to the voice and saw another manticore with a twisted head, but then she saw a large bipedal creature. It was standing near the beast rubbing his hooves (hands). Fluttershy understood that this creature killed these animals. She approached the creature and shouted:

"How dare you hurt innocent animals!?" Terminator turned to her and said:

"Self-defense."

"I know you killed that timberwolves and manticore! Why?"

"Self-defense."

"Say you are sorry!"

"I don't need to obey you," said Terminator.

"Say you are sorry or-" Terminator grabbed Fluttershy by her neck. Then he used her mane to tie her mouth and her tail to tie her hooves. Then he threw her in the forest, while Angel glared at him and followed Fluttershy. Soon Fluttershy fell to the ground, but she used her wings to soften the fall. Meanwhile, Dinky approached the robot and said to him to follow her.

"So what's your name?" asked Dinky.

"I'm T-850. Means I am Terminator of the 850th model," said robot.

"Terminator? Hmm, so you are a robot?"

"Cybernetic robot. I was created as a killing machine," said Terminator. That scared Dinky and she asked:

"But why did you not kill me?"

"You are my commander."

"But why me?"

"You are the 1st sentient being that I detected after I appeared there."

"Do you have your own mind?"

"If I don't have any aim, I'll just become useless."

"Okay." Soon they sneaked to the back of Dinky's house. There was a dump, where ponies in Ponyville throw broken furniture. Dinky said:

"Alright, my mom will be there soon. Hide somewhere so nobody will see you." With those words, Terminator hid in the pile of garbage and cover himself with it.

"Perfect, now just stay like that. Tomorrow I will visit you, bye." Dinky entered her house and saw a note on the fridge:

"I will be late. The dinner on the table.

Mom."

Dinky sighed and sit at the table. After dinner, she saw her mom entering the house.

"Hi mom," said Dinky.

"Hi sweetie," said Derpy. "How was your day?"

"Just usual day." Then Dinky yawned and Derpy said:

"Alright, it's time for you to go to bed."

"Goodnight mom." With those words, Dinky went up to her room. Derpy sighed and looked at the picture on the wall. On the picture, there were she, her husband and Dinky, when she was just a filly. Since her husband's missing, she was working in the post office and barely had time for a daughter.

"I wish I could at least found someone who will take care of Dinky when I won't be with her." She didn't know that her wish was right behind her house, covered in garbage.

Fluttershy's cottage

Fluttershy was sitting on her couch with bandaged leg and wing. Soon the door opened and 5 ponies and dragon entered the room.

"Oh my gosh, darling, what happened to you?" asked Rarity.

"It was-"

"Glida?" asked Applejack.

"It was-"

"If it was Glida, she would need to prepare her flank," said Rainbow Dash.

"No, it wasn't Glida!" shouted Fluttershy.

"But who did it to you?" asked Twilight.

"I don't know. It was a big creature. It walks on two hooves and has hands like Spike, but it has 5 fingers on each hand instead of 4."

"What else?"

"It's very strong. Come with me." With those words, everybody headed to the forest. Soon they found corpses. Everyone was shocked by this, but terrified them mostly is manticore with twisted head. Soon they came to the edge of the forest and found another dead manticore.

"What kind of beasts has such kind of power?"

"It's not a beast. He can talk on our language," said Fluttershy.

"I'll write a letter to Princess Celestia," said Twilight.

"I hope we will throw this creature a party," said Pinkie Pie. Everyone just ignored her for being Pinkie.
