Chapter 1: Soft Metal

The sounds of metal chains clashing filled the silent Canterlot roads with their thunderous sounds. The surrounding ponies looked to see a large group of guards carrying what appeared to be a robot.

The ponies murmured among themselves as the guards led the metal beast down the paths.

"Who is he?". One of the ponies muttered.

"Hey, I know him. It's that machine those monsters brought in." Said another referring to the corrupt.

Craid, on the other hand, only had his head down and his red eyes closed. The android tried to ignore the contemptuous murmurs of several ponies towards him. Especially from the nobles. But this was to no avail.

"Everyone, Get off the road!" Yelled the guard leading the group carrying Craid. Quickly, the ponies went to their respective duties.

Craid looked up and managed to visualize everything the corrupt had done. Many houses had bullet holes, others had burned roofs, and there were many doctors and nurses treating the wounded. Craid simply lowered his head again, as the guards literally dragged him away.

"Come on gentlemen, it's this way. We're not very far." The captain of the group spoke again. Craid paused for a moment, but a guard shoved him roughly.

"Come on, walk monster." The guard said. Craid just nodded and walked while dragging his arms. Defeated.

10 minutes later

Tempest was at home eating a delicious margarita sandwich while reading a novel at her table. He had just gotten home, as he waited patiently for his new "roommate." Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Knowing who they were, Tempest finished her meal and headed for her door. When she opened it, she was greeted by the commander of the guard.

"Good afternoon, Miss Tempest." the guard greeted, removing his helmet.

"Good afternoon". She greeted calmly. The guard nodded and revealed to the other guards with Craid in chains. Seeing the android, Tempest grimaced and gulped when she asked.

"He is...?".

"Dead? Not right now. Apparently he's resting or something. He's been like this for 10 minutes." The guard explained as he hit Craid with his hoof.

"Oh, uh, I see." She said.

"Anyway, where do you want us to put it?"

"Oh huh. Put it there." Tempest pointed to a nearby room, which served as her personal gym. The guard nodded.

"Okay, come on boys." The guards pushed Craid, and he managed to get through the door, not before almost breaking it because of his bulky body.

After a few minutes, Craid was still and lying next to a punching bag. The guards were already at the entrance with the commander saying goodbye.

"Well, I wanted to wish you luck, Miss Tempest. It won't be easy to control this beast. But I know you can. Oh, before we left, Princess Celestia told me to give you this." Then the commander handed him what looked like a control with a sun-shaped button.

"What is this?". She asked confused as she held the object against her hoof.

"It's like an alarm. If you need backup, push that button and the best guards will come to you rescue." Said the guard.

"Good. But ... aren't they going to chain him?" She asked. The guard turned his gaze to Craid and he smiled.

"Don't worry about it. Princess Celestia put a spell on it that makes the chains invisible and impossible to break." The guard exclaimed as he withdrew with the others.

"Good evening, Miss Tempest."

"It's alright, good night". Tempest closed the door and went back inside her house.

As soon as they were gone, Tempest sighed, as she collapsed on the ground with a somewhat scared look.

"What have I gotten myself into?" She whispered to herself as she patted her forehead with her hoof. Then look at Craid. He sighed again and got up. He walked over to the downed android and struck his body with his hoof.

"Eh?". She touched him again. But nothing happened. Tempest tried one more time. But nothing. He did it for another 4 more times but still nothing.

Then she sighed in relief.

"Uff thanks to Celestia who he is dead." Tempest then headed to her room with a satisfied smile. But...

Craid suddenly opened his eyes and began to look at her without her noticing. And apparently he was not very happy that she had given him those touches.

2 hours later

Tempest was reading her novel again, but hadn't noticed Craid staring at her for 2 hours. The android fell silent and approached her. Tempest was so focused on her reading that she didn't even notice the large robot behind her.

Craid smiled showing his sharp steel fangs, as he placed his sharp claws on Tempest's shoulders. Feeling Craid's cold claws, Tempest froze in place and began to shiver as she tried not to move. Right now I was terrified.

Craid just smiled when he suddenly spoke.

"Hello" Said the android. Tempest then jumped out of her seat and took a defensive stance as she tried to get as far away from the robot as possible.

"I can't believe it, I thought you were dead!" She screamed in fear. Craid just shrugged.

"I was getting my energy back." He explained as he approached her. Tempest backed away even further.

"Wait, what are you doing, monster!" She screamed. Right now she was cornered against a wall. Craid gave him an evil smile.

Tempest simply closed her eyes and waited for the end. But that never came. Then she began to feel, how something or someone, began to caress his cheek. When she opened her eyes, she found the same android that seemed to kill her, stroking her like a teach does his dog.

"Wow, I never thought the ponies of this world were so ... soft." Craid exclaimed still stroking her cheek.

Tempest saw her chance, and leapt into the air, then kicked Craid hard with her hoof on the his face. Aggravating his face and making him faint instantly. Craid fell to the ground unconscious, while Tempest watched him.

"Well that was weird." She said as she grabbed Craid and started dragging him to lock him in her basement.

"Arrggg this piece of junk is ridiculously heavy arrggg." She moaned as she dragged Craid away. Seeing that this didn't work, the unicorn tried another method.

Tempest began charging her horn, or what was left of it, so she could channel a levitation spell. In the end with a little effort and a few minor headaches, Tempest managed to cast the spell.

Then Craid started floating and Tempest pushed him into the basement. The spell lasted for a few seconds before it dropped Craid heavily to the ground, causing a great noise and rumble. Tempest fixed her gaze on the basement, seeing Craid lying on the floor. She just shrugged and closed the cellar door.

To successively go to his room.

Tempest threw herself on her bed and settled down and covered herself with the sheets as well. The mare sighed in both relief and disgust as she thought about recent events.

Just thinking that she was the keeper of a killing machine made him shiver. Although she managed to calm down and relax.

"Well this will be difficult. But I can handle it." Tempest said, as she adjusted her pillow and lay down. To instantly fall she asleep and wait for the next day.

Author's Note

New story guys !.

I hope you like it. And once I tell you that it will be somewhat difficult to write two stories at the same time, including Ender. But I'm sure I can make great progress.

Without further ado, see you next time!
