A NEW GROUP OF HEROESby AnaylzeChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3: the final chapter that that my young self madeChapter 1Twilight and Spike Both hit their heads on the Table again after getting sent through Space and time for the Second time.” Well, that didn’t work. “Spike said with a sigh after cleaning himself off.” This is going to be harder than I thought, we’ll have to try again.” Twilight said. “Hey Twilight” Spike said while tugging twilight and giving off a worried smile, but Twilight ignored him.” I don’t want to live in that awful future we saw, even if it had new lifeforms.” she said while looking through the scroll to try and find the words to bring them back.” I don’t think you’ll have to” spike finish before spears were pointing at them. “Drop your Weapons!” a machine-like voice said before Twilight dropped the scroll. She was surprised to see her two friends Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy along with some other ponies she knew from Pony Ville with green Sob around their bodies in different types of patterns, but the strange thing was the voice came from the things right behind the ponies. They had the same sob on them, but they were completely different to ponies and made of metal, the first 5 were taller than the ponies by a few feet, stood on two legs, were tan colored, had a long dome like head, held something black in their hands, and where much skinnier. The 3 other ones looked a little different to the tan ones with them being dark grey, having larger and stronger bodies, their heads being in their torso, and pointing their wrists at her and spike which had tubes under their arm plating. The final 2 machines look like the combination of a Mantis and a Rolly Polly, but having three legs, bronze plating on the backs, 4 tubes like weapons where their hands would have been, and a blue protective shield that surrounded them, meaning they could possibly know magic. “Pinky? Flutter shy?” said Twilight before she got cut off by Pinky “Silence Changeling” she said in an aggressive tone.” All serving Queen Chrysalis found in these woods must be destroyed” Flutter shy finish Pinky’s Sentence before the Grey machines start to walk towards her and Spike. Twilight gulped at the fact she could get destroyed by these machines and didn’t like the results of where it was headed. “We’re not Changelings! I’m a pony and he’s a dragon!” Twilight panicked” Oh likely story” Pinky said again in her aggressive tone. “Yeah, save it for the Commander.” the same Tan droid said, still pointing his blaster at her. “And if he’s really a dragon” pinky said looking coldly at spike “do something dragonish.” then spike shot out a cloud of smoke at pinky’s face before she coughed for air “That works.” she said weakly. “That could still be that the servants of chrysalis would do anything to save their evil schemes” flutter shy said before more spears were pointing at twilight and spike along with the clicking sounds of reloading ammo from the machines. “Stall!” A voice from the trees said which everyone turned to look where the voice came from. “If they’re not changelings we will soon see, though I think they’re not what they appear to be.” as the voice came out of the tree to reveal a Zebra who Twilight immediately knew who it was. “Sakura please you have to listen” twilight said before another spear was pointing at her again. Sakura moved the spear to go face to face with Twilight “beneath this Sob no changeling hides for it reveals the truth inside.” Sakura then put the sob on twilight and spike before they started to glow. All the ponies gasped and ran away to hide in the forest and the Tan machines started to move back with 1 tripping over a rock, but Sakura, the grey and bronze machine stayed in their place with the machines getting into more defensive positions. “What does it mean?” Pinky pie said in a worried voice.” the meaning is far worse I see, for it is we who should not be.” Sakura said to every pony. "Wait...does that mean we don’t exist!” One of the Tan machines said in panic.” I think I can explain” Twilight said to the machine. “What’s the point! explain if we don’t exist that means The Separatist doesn’t exist.” After that every pony started to talk to each other again. Twilight was worried that she would make everyone scared of their existence, but the words that came from the tan machine. “The Separatist. That's what they look like?” she thought but was woken up by Sakura who had already calmed down every pony. “I’m sure you can explain, but let’s not talk here. Chrysalis and her army will soon draw near.” Sakura told twilight before getting every pony to head back into the forest where they came, to Twilight’s surprise, the bronze machines rolled up into balls and started to roll ahead of the group. She was a little scared of the machines, but she let it pass before she started to follow. Sometime had passed as Sakura and her troops were heading back to the village they had created after Chrysalis attacked Canter lot not long ago, after some talking of how time works like a river twilight wanted to know about the Machines of the Separatist alliance, and she didn’t get too much from applejack back in the last timeline so maybe Sakura knows more about them, “Sakura. How did these machines even appear here in equestria?” Sakura turned to twilight again.” I afraid I won’t be able to tell, but someone in town will help you make up your mind.” she said before they came to a village entrance where twilight saw many ponies and machines talking or helping each other out and looking like no pony was judging the machines and their looks. "Well, this looks cozy.’ spike said. "Put the Repulser lifts at the bottom not the sides.” a machine-like monotone voice said as twilight was lead in the direction of where it came from. When they arrived, Twilight could believe what was in front of her. It was a large machine that had a long tube-like weapon on the front of the head, arched in a weird way and it was floating off the ground but not by much,” Um. Sir. Sakura behind you.” the machine turned to twilight and Sakura, it looked like the tan droids, but didn’t look skinny, had a rounded beak like mouth, and had glowing white eyes.” Greetings Sakura, welcome back.” it said in its monotone voice before bowing. “Greetings Commander, we have come with someone from a different past to learn about your travel from a far.” The machine turned to look at Twilight. “Greetings Twilight, I’m Commander from the used to be powerful Separatist Alliance, if you want to call me by my designation number it is TN-7854.” it said to Twilight.” Um I like your name Commander better.” The commander then put his hands behind his back. "So, you never heard about the attack we did on Canter Lot after a failed negotiation for becoming our ally in the war against the Galactic Empire?” it said to her. “Wait. You attack Canter lot!” Twilight said shocked”.” Like I said before, it was after failed negotiations with your leaders Princess Celestia and Luna, but in the end we both fell to the forces of Queen Chrysalis.” Twilight couldn’t believe that these machines were trying to have ponies fight for them in a war where they had no clue who the enemy was. She wasn’t even sure why Sakura even trusted them to live in the same village as them.” Why? Why would they trust you.” “It’s a lot to take in, however it was the best option if we were going to have a chance for survival. If we went our separate ways, we both would have 24% chance of survival before being found by Chrysalis and being eliminated.” however if we put are differences aside and allied, we’d have a 64% chance of survival and a 58% chance of defeating Chrysalis and her army thanks to The Separatist technology and a magic of the Equines combined.” Twilight wasn’t someone who’d like violence, but she understood why they both teamed up. They neither want the Chrysalis army to take over. She looked at the rest of the machines, then turned back to Commander.” how are these machines going to fight against Chrysalis?” twilight asked. “We are not just machines, we are droids. I’m a Tactical droid that was made to command my troops into battle, my soldiers consist of B1’s, B2’s, and Droidekas, and once we finish repairs, we will have an AAT to eliminate Chrysalis’s stronger forces.” “We are also equipped with Blaster’s to take out are enemies from afar, and thermal detonators that can eliminate groups of soldiers with one blast.” Twilight didn’t even need to ask any more questions, now she knew that they were prepared for an attack from Chrysalis. But before she could there was a loud scream within the forest, every pony turned to look in the direction where the scream came from. Out of the forest came Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack who were in bad shape with messed up manes and scars. “You have to help us!” Rarity said. Rainbow Dash followed suit.” The Changelings attacked pony ville! We barely escaped with our lives!” Twilight couldn’t believe it, her friends managed to survive. She was about to walk over to greet them but was stopped by Sakura and then turned to commander. The Commander then picked up a pad-looking device from his belt and tapped through it for a moment before turning to one of the B1’s and nodded. Then every single Droid lifted their blaster and when into defensive positions.” The only changeling attack I see, is the one that comes here looking for me.” Sakura said before applejack then started to walk up to Sakura and Commander before stopping midway. “it’s taken quite some time to find you. It was cold.” Then a yellowish green ring started to surround applejack and started to transform her. Every pony started to run towards her along with 3 Droideka who when over and activated their shields to protect Commander and Twilight. After the transformation it was revealed to be Queen Chrysalis who started to laugh while the droids and ponies were headed to protect their leaders. “What a lovely village you’ve have chosen to stage your little resistance, it looks Delicious”. Chrysalis said to Sakura who was giving her an angry look, then 2 ponies with spear pushed Chrysalis back. “Oh, come on now Sakura, you’re vastly outnumbered.” before the two ponies turn into changeling guards and even more changelings came out of the forest "Enough with your games” Commander said in his monotone voice “You many have weaken us, but we still have advantages in are forces that are superior to yours.” Author's Note And it ends there's. yep. I know my young self didn't even try to finish it. Unlike the next chapter. Chapter 2The constant falling through portals was starting to get annoying to twilight and Spike after getting themself almost caught by Chrysalis’s changelings. “That’s strange?” Spike said while looking up at the sky “Well, you obviously don’t mean us falling because that’s becoming pretty routine” Twilight said angerly while cleaning off her wings. “Ugh what happened?” a machine voice behind them said which surprised both to look. It was the same B1’s and B2 the save her from getting captured by changelings back in the other timeline. “you guys?” “Twilight what happened, where are we!?” the same B1 said with a worried voice. “What’s going on?” the B2 said in a deep voice. “Yeah, like Brute said” the other B1 replied. Twilight knew she needed to calm down the droids before they started thinking she was crazy . “Every pony please calm down!” Twilight shouted at the droids which the 3 droids when silent. Twilight sighed.” Ok first let's start with your names. Who are you?” The droids looked at each other wondering who would go first. Then the B1 that asked her where they were stepped up to her. “My name is Moss, and behind me is Klam the other B1 and Brute the B2, Sorry about us going a little overboard with misunderstanding.” “You don’t have to worry about that.” Twilight reassured them “however right now is not the time to wonder where we are, we need to get back.” “Well twilight just look up in the sky and tell me that isn’t strange” Spike trying to get her attention. “What’s so important about that Spike?” Twilight asked, “It’s just the other times we’ve come back it’s been day but look.” Twilight and the droids looked up where the sky was, and it was night. “I just the night sky, what’s so important about it?” Moss said, but Twilight had more questions. “Why would the map bring us back to a different time of day than we left?” “I agree with Moss.” Klam said, “I don’t see anything wrong with that.” “Well, me and spike both got transported to other places and they were both day, wouldn’t it be weird if you got transported to a different place and it was night instead of day?” “Well, we did get transported with you and I still don’t understand what's so weird about night.” “Oh, maybe we should figure it out later!” spike said before growling was heard behind them, when they turn to see it was 2 Timber wolves, the most dangerous creatures of the Evergreen Forest. “Oh no not Timberwolves. I hate those things.” Moss said backing up and lifting his blaster. “I don’t want to become it’s chew toy again” Klam said backing up with Moss. Brute on the other hand did the same as the 2 B1’s but lifted its 2 arms and activated his Wrist blasters and was prepared to shoot them. "Cowards.” Brute said in his deep voice, even if he was backing up, he was much braver than the tan droids . 1 of the Timber wolves hoped on the table and started to sniff the air. Twilight didn’t want the droids to Escalate to violence, so she tried to do a spell to teleport the wolves away from the table before they were noticed, but after the fight with Starlight she was tried and couldn’t use the spell. “What are we doing.” Moss said to Klam. "Come on Klam there’s only 2 of them and 4 of us, we can take them.” “It won’t matter.” Klam said disappointingly. Then the 2 Wolves looked at them and started to howl. “RUN!” Twilight shouted before she picked up spike on her back and started to gallop in the other direction, Moss and Klam followed suit and Brute was about to join them, but then blasted down the 2 Wolves instantly, killing them. Twilight, Spike, Moss, Klam, and Brute were running away from the more Howling that was chasing them, but it all ended in one moment when they reached a Castle as bright as the stars in the sky. “The Castle of the Two Sister!” Twilight while her mouth was open wide. “You mean the ones with the flowing hair? Do you think they can help us?” Moss said before more howling was heard from the forest “Well let's don’t just stand here” spike said before running towards the castle with Twilight and the droids joining him. Once they made it to the castle doors, they immediately closed it behind them so no wolves could follow them, they looked around them. It was a beautiful castle with it being clean a refined, there were even torches that lit a blue flame when they entered the castle, at first every pony was silent for the moment till the spike interrupted it. “This place looks a lot cleaner than I remembered.” “At least it looks nice.” Moss said before a Tarp was raised in front of them, which then was moved to the side when a white pony with a violet mane and dark blue clothing started hanging it on the wall “Rarity!” Twilight said gladly. “The castle isn’t-” as Rarity was turning to Twilight and Spike, but her voice pauses when she saw the droids behind them staring at them with wide eyes and then started to scream “THE DROIDS ARE BACK! THEIR BACK TO HURT US ALL!” Rarity screamed as she ran away from them. “Rarity! Wait!” Twilight tried to tell her, but by then she had already gone down the hall. “Well, that’s just rude.” Moss said. “Why do I have a bad feeling about this place.” Klam said. “You're not the only one.” Brute agreed. “Well, if you’d scared Rarity, that could mean you might have had a conflict that didn’t end well.” Twilight said worried. “Just a conflict.” As a voice across the hall said a royal like voice. The group looked over where the voice came from and saw a mare with flowing hair, but they couldn’t see the rest of the details because she was hiding in the shadows of the moon. “Twilight. Who is that?” Moss said while trying to get her attention, but Twilight was looking around with a worried face and noticing the banners around the castle had the same figure on the chair. “Now that’s something I would like to see.” before revealing herself and started laughing. She had flowing night blue hair, a long horn on her forehead, and a crescent moon on her side. It was Nightmare Moon “Hey, wait a minute. Aren’t you the white one’s sister called Luna?” Moss replied. She didn’t listen and instead 6 guards came and when in front of the throne to protect her. There were 3 big guards and 3 small ones which were just mares, but more guards started to come out of nowhere to surround the group. “So much for this being a safe place to stay.” Klam said before starting to lift his blaster in self-defense. Brute on the other hand lifted both his wrist blasters with no hesitation and was ready to blast every pony if the guards even came close to him, and he seemed to want them to come close. (Mostly just to kill them) “Tell me. How did you come across these battle droids? You know they were outlawed so no one would try to use them.” she said. Twilight didn’t want to have to answer that question, but she didn’t need to because a guard interrupted. “The princess asked you a question” the mare said before taking her helmet off to reveal her to be Rainbow dash with a shaved mane. “Unless you want to end up in the dungeon, you’ll tell her what she wants to know.” Twilight was getting scared the more time she was here, but even then, Brute when right Infront of rainbow and blocked her from seeing twilight. “Hey! Step aside droid! Or you’ll end up in the dungeon too!” giving him an angry glare. All Brute did was stare at her with a blank expression before a clicking sound came from him activating his wrist blasters again, he didn’t even have to point them at her because the clicking sound alone made her flinch. But Nightmare didn’t seem to care that much. “No pony in my kingdom should possess machines like this. They are the only things that almost destroyed it.” “Your kingdom.” Spike said behind twilight “Who else” she questioned “Your white coat sister, Isn't she here?” Moss said not even trying to lift his weapon since he just wanted to talk without conflict. All the guards gave each other a worried glance at each other. Nightmare Moon then started to laugh which made Moss regret knowing what the answer would be wasn’t anything good. “My sister has been imprisoned in moon for years, but it is no less faith than she says it’s me droid.” she told him while staring at him with a stern look. “Oh, I guess I will back off” Moss said moving back to join Klam and Brute. “Now young mare if you give me those droids, I will let you go with no harm. If you don’t, you’ll end up like other droid supporters.” Twilight couldn’t believe what was happening, she was now given a choice between her and spike to escape and leave Moss, Klam, and Brute behind or end up in the same way as droids that were found. As much as she wanted to get out of this place, she had a feeling she would be betraying them. After all they did save her and Spike’s life, if they weren’t there, she could have been stuck in that world. Trapped and could never get back to her friends. She knew what she had to do. “no” she replied “Pardon?” Nightmare said “I will not let them go. Unlike what droids like these ones did here, these 3 saved me and Spike from being captured by changelings, they were willing to help me and disobey their orders just to save me. So, if you want to have them, you’ll have to go through me.” The droids were surprised at what Twilight said, even spike was dumbfounded from what she said, but Twilight knew it was truth and was going to keep it that way. “Well, if that’s how you going to be, then prepare to meet your demise!” A blue aura surrounded the group and they started lifting them in the air. “OH NO NOT AGAIN!” Moss said in panic before they were teleported away. Twilight got back up again after the blue aura dropped her, Spike, and the 3 droids. She felt like she was near the sun with all the heat around them. “Twilight where are we?” spike asked looking around them. From what Twilight saw it was a factory of some sort, with sounds of multiple gears and pistons working on conveyor belts. “Um. Twilight you shouldn’t look.” Moss said before Twilight then saw what he was referring to. Her mouth dropped when she was on the conveyor belts that held destroyed B1 and B2 battle droids with most having their limbs torn off their bodies and even some with no heads. Twilight felt like she was going to faint, just seeing these machines being treated like this was too much for her. However, she turned her head to the sound of teleporting and saw Nightmare Moon and lots of guards looking at the group. “Once I'm finished with you these droids will be a memorable finale to destroying the last of this army!” She said with a grin before shooting a beam of magic at twilight which she dodged just in time. “Quick blast them!” Moss Shouted before the droids started to shoot red lasers at Moon and the guards with the unicorn guards responding with magic blasts “Don’t get close to the droids, they hit you better if you charge them.” She told the guards. Even so Twilight, Spike and the 3 droids were being pushed back to a corner where the conveyor belts were headed higher up to the ceiling. “DIE equines!” Brute said while shooting down many of the guards faster than they could react, but he was in the moment before guards started to aim right at his head and shoot magic at it, but luckily Twilight saw this and pull him way before the magic bolts hit him. “WHOA!” Brute shouted before being pulled back by twilight magic. As Brute fell, he looked back at Twilight. “Thanks.” he said before getting back up and started shooting again. “You're welcome!” Twilight said with a smile enjoying the thank you from him. The fighting continued for a few minutes, but the group was now back up against the wall cornered by Nightmare Moon and the rest of the guards. “DON’T LET THEM WIN! FINISH THEM!” Nightmare moon shouted which the guards started fire magic blasts again. Twilight put up a magic shield to protect the group but now had nowhere to go. “Were trapped!” Twilight shouted, “It must have been her plan.” Moss said while still firing on the guards. Twilight what do we do now?” Spike said he was worried that they wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess. “We’ll get out of this spike.” Twilight reassured him. But Twilight wasn’t sure how to get out of this mess. She looked at the conveyor belts to hopefully find something on them that was useful, and that when she saw a Tactical droid head, the head was blue instead of green, but nonetheless it was the same design, it wouldn’t have been helpful if she didn’t know that droids don’t need limbs to function and from commander, they didn’t need a body to run properly. It was a long shot, but she hoped it was worth it. “Moss!” Twilight called him which he turned immediately “What Twilight?” Moss asked, “I have a plan, but I need to lower my magic shield to work on it.” “What!? How do we defend ourselves if there’s nothing to protect us?!” Twilight noticed some crates near the conveyor belts which should be enough to protect them. “Use the crates.” She told him. Moss looked at the crates which looked like they could survive a few bolts of magic blasts “Fine...I will use the crates.” he said, mumbling. “Klam! help me move these crates to the front for protection. Twilight has a plan.” “Roger. Roger.” Klam Replied before helping Moss lift the crates to the front to protect them. While Moss and Klam were putting the crates into their position, Twilight was having trouble holding the shield thanks to the number of times it was being attacked. “Guys. I can’t hold the shield for much longer.” “Were getting the last of the crates ready just hold on.” Moss reassured as Klam was setting down the last crate. “It’s finished sir, you can let it go Twilight.” Twilight was relieved, but before she let the shield go, she looked at Moss “Don’t let her see me” she said to Moss before she let the shield go down. “THE MARE IS WEAKEN! NOW USE YOUR STRONGEST ATTACKS ON THE DROIDS!” Nightmare Moon Commanded her Unicorn guards who attacked with their magic, but thanks to the crates they were enough to repel the attacks. Twilight used this to run over to the Tactical droid head. The head was already headed up to the higher conveyor belts. Twilight was trying to catch up to it, but the conveyor belt was giving her a difficult time getting to it. So, she decided to focus and try to teleport it to her. But she was still weakened from holding the shield, but she was willing to try. “Ok. You can do this.” Twilight told herself. She then focused on teleporting the Tactical droid head over to her, it took a little bit, but she was able to get the head. “Yes!” she said as she was holding her head, but she had no time to celebrate, because she needed to as she needed to get back as fast as she could possibly go. Luckily, she got just in time when she saw an explosion destroying most of the crates that were protecting spike and the droids, but the droids put the last of the crates in a line as a final line of defense. “Twilight! You're ok.” Spike happily hugged her “No worries Spike I'm alright, but I need to find a way to turn on this Tactical droid.” “Twilight we're a little busy here!” Moss said still firing at the guards “Klam! Help Twilight but make it quick! We're getting overwhelmed here!” “Yes sir!” Klam replied before heading to Twilight’s position. “Is that a Tactical droid head?” Klam asked Twilight “Yep” “How is that going to help?” Twilight then turned to him. “If we're going to get out of here, we will need cause a Distraction. “And from what I learned from Commander I think Tactical droids can turn on droids like you since you're technically not living.” “Of course, we’re not living” “So, I was thinking. What if we can turn on the Droids that are on the Conveyor Belts and they can help us escape? It’s a long shot but I think it will work. Now how do we turn this on?” Twilight asked Klam. Klam quickly Responded by grabbing something on the side of his waist. “This should work, we use these to reactivate droids that still have power in them.” showing her the device. It was a thin metal rod that had some type of plug that the end of that was the same shape as the hole at the bottom of the Tactical Droids head. Twilight grabbed the Device and put it into the plug of the Droid. The device then started to activate, and a red light was seen as it started to make noise. More bolts of magic started hitting the crates and there wasn’t much protection left as the crates started to move apart. “Whatever your big plan is can you please hurry it up!” Moss shouted to Twilight before a magic bolt zipped right past his head. “Hold on! It's just about done!” Klam shouted to Moss. And right on cue the device light turned green meaning it was done. Klam then Removed the device, and the droid was reactivated. “What is happening?” The Tactical droid said in his monotone voice as he was turned back on. Twilight then turned his head towards Her's. “Hi there. My name is Twilight Sparkle and right now we’re in a pickle. Nightmare Moon has defeated you in a fight that you might have planned out, but me and Klam have turned you back on to give you a second chance, but you must listen to me, you got that?” The Tactical droid’s eyes and mouth then lit up with the same white color as Commander in the last timeline she when in. “What is your Command?”. She was glad the droid understood her knowing that he might want to get out of here too. “I want you to reactivate any battle droids that can still help us get out of here. And have them to attack Nightmare moon and her guards”. “Affirmative.” Klam and Twilight then looked up and saw that the droids were starting to get up back on their feet. A lot more droids were reactivating than Twilight expected. Even B2’s that were hanging from claws were activated and the claw dropped them onto the Conveyor Belt and Luckly nightmare moon didn’t see what was happening up above. As the B1 and B2 battle droids started to get up some started to question. “Huh? What’s happening?” “I don’t know” “Did we win?” As the droids kept asking themselves what was going on the Tactical Droid was preparing his order. “New command sequence. Your target is Factory security personnel.” As the droids heard this command the B2’s started to walk to the edges of the Conveyor belt and jumped down right around Nightmare Moon and her Guards with two completely unharmed ones that fell in front beginning to activate their wrist blasters and firing on the ponies. “NO!” Nightmare Moon shouted as more B2 battle droids started to join the fight with cover fire from the B1’s from above. “Orders are Orders” One B1 said as he and a few others jumped off and landed on guards to distract them from attacking the B2’s before those droids shot those guards. The plan was working and many of the droids would be saved. “FALL BACK!” Nightmare moon told her guards before they immediately ran as more Droid started to join and shoot them down. From twilight perspective there were at least 21 B1’s and 17 B2’s which was more than enough to push out Nightmare Moons forces. ” There falling back!” Moss said with glee “Come on! Let's hurry up before she brings more forces!” Both Brute and Klam started to follow moss and join the other droids with Twilight and Spike joining them as Twilight carried the Tactical droids' head on her back. When they got out of the smelting room there were more guards waiting from them and they started to charge, but not before more droids shot them from getting close. “There’s the Exit” Spike said pointing to the left of the smelting room. Twilight quickly turns her head to the Tactical droid on her back.” Tell the droids to meet us outside of where we got out.” which the droid gave out. “All forces head to the exits of the room we came from and head towards the nearest exit.” but when they got near Nightmare moon appeared with more guards blocking the exit. “I’M NOT LETTING YOU GO THAT EASLIY!” as the guards started firing projectiles at the crowd of droids and took out a few B1’s and B2’s. “Open fire!” the Tactical droid commanded. “Wait! More of them will get hurt. We need to find a different way!” “I calculate that you are 86% incorrect, this is the only exit.” the droid said as blaster and magic bolts zipped by them. There were more guards behind them blocking them from trying to go further into the factory. As more droid forces were being taken out the more, they were being pushed close together “Where surrounded!” A B1 with a missing arm said before being destroyed by a magic blast. “What do we do now?!” Spike said terrified of what could happen next “We eliminate the threat, but now we have a 45% chance of succeeding.” the droid replied. Twilight would have agreed with the droid since that was the only way out of this place without magic, but what the droids didn’t know was that she was an Alicorn. She could simply use her magic to teleport every pony out of here. The only problem was how she was going to get the droids that were still active to come along. She was only able to hold six ponies at once, if she wanted to escape with more she would need to really try to hold on, but it would weaken her trying to teleport more than she could handle, but if she wanted to save these droids, she was going to try her hardest. “I'm going teleport us out of here.” she told the Tactical droid. “What do you mean teleport? That ability is impossible to use.” “Well see for yourself.” Twilight then started to concentrate and used her magic to lift the remaining droids and spike into the air “Ahhhh! What is going on!?” one B1 said surprised. “Hold...On every pony!” She said she had used her magic to summon a bright light and blind Nightmare Moon and the rest of the guards and safely teleport them away. Twilight managed to teleport every pony back inside of Nightmare Moons castle which was now empty since every guard when to help her. Still, she would soon need to get out of the castle because Nightmare moon wouldn’t take long for her to realize where they were. She did take some time to recover though. “This location is no were near the factory. Does not compute.” The Tactical droid obviously not knowing the existence of magic, but sadly not every single droid got out. She had to leave the ones that had already been shot in the fight behind, she was saddened by the thought of not saving everyone. Ok every pony, let's get out of the castle now!” she told the other droids, but they were hesitant. “Sorry sir but we listen to the Commander.” One B1 with and missing left hand said. “What do you mean just listen to the commander.” Moss replied. “Our commander is long gone and Me, Klam, and Brute disobey our orders because of our timeline not being on the right path.” “Timeline? Time Travel is just a theory.” The Tactical droid replied. “Well, we experienced it, even though we only when through it once, but we still know more than you!” “He has a point. You do not know what time travel is yet, and besides would you want to start over and try again in a new life than trying to go through this one.” Twilight told the droid on her back. The droid when silent for a moment to calculate an answer, but Twilight took it as a not sure. “Now come every pony, we need to get out of here before Nightmare Moon traps us again, now follow me!” The droids then started following twilight towards the exit of the castle just in time too because Nightmare Moon teleported her guards right in the castle. “FIND THEM! DON’T LET THEM ESCAPE!” As Twilight heard this, she got the droids to run faster, but not before they ran into a pack of Timber Wolfs which the droids started to fire upon them, but the blaster fire let Nightmare Moon know where they were as Twilight heard the flapping of wings, Luckly she got the remaining droids to the table but were now surrounded by Timber Wolfs with droids trying to fight against them but with some getting torn apart by the wolfs. Twilight grabbed the scroll she was carrying with her to prepare to take what remains of the droids and themselves. “What are you doing? The Tactical droid question. “Getting us out of here.” said Twilight as she opened the scroll and started to read it. Then a portal appeared above them, and twilight used her magic to grab ahold of the remaining droids. “NOOOOOOOO!” Nightmare Moon said as they got pulled into the portal. Author's Note Glad this one was finish. the best chapter out of the 3 Chapter 3: the final chapter that that my young self madeAs the portal opened for the final time it immediately dropped Twilight, Starlight, Spike, and the remaining droids onto the table in the same place where twilight and spike got sucked in where it all started. It seemed like the portal didn’t want them to go back because it pulled the scroll twilight used which was almost ripped, but not the least it folded into a blue ball of magic as it brought back the map onto the table before headed up into the portal as it disappeared. Then a bright flash covered the inside of the castle and what was around it brought back ponyville, a village where Twilight lived. As every pony was getting back on their feet spike when to kiss the floor of the castle.” One castle of friendship. Check!” “Gross! Why would you kiss the floor.” Moss said disgusted. “Does not compute. Does not compute.” The tactical droid repeated as he laid on the floor Infront of two large doors still confused about everything that has happened up to this point. The rest of the droids got back up on their feet with a few hopping on one foot and a B1 without a head. “Is this another timeline? Do we need to find a way back again?” Kalm questioned. Twilight and Starlight giggled. “No need. We're back in my home.” Twilight answered, “Well that’s a relief. I don’t think I can go through more problems again” as every pony was getting back up. The two large doors opened wide and accidentally hit the head of the Tactical droid back to the group of B1’s and B2’s. In the entrance of the door were five ponies which in this case was Twilight’s friends. “What in Equestria was-” Before Rarity could finish her sentence, it was interrupted by the Tactical droid. “Hostiles detected.” The droids then lifted their blasters, prepared to fire. The five ponies huddled together scared for their lives. "WAIT!” Twilight shouted which got everyone's attention. “they’re my friends not enemies. You can put your weapons down.” The droids then lowered their weapons. Twilight when over to her to calm them down. “It ok. They were just surprised; they won’t hurt you.” The five ponies looked at each other then back at Twilight. “Ah'll right. We’ll trust you but explain to us what those are.” Applejack said pointing at the droid group with the remaining 11 B1’s, 7 B2’s, not counting Moss, Klam, Brute, and the Tactical Droid head. “That’s your biggest concern?” Rainbow Dash interrupted “How about ask how they are still standing. They have missing limbs!” She was right. Most of the droids Ethier had something less severe like a missing hand, but others had leftovers of an arm or were hopping on one leg, one even had a missing head. “Oh dear, your poor things.” Flutter shy wanted to hug them, but she thought it was best if no one touched where there were missing body parts. “Darling. What they need is to go to a hospital.” Rarity suggested “We do not need organic help.” the Tactical droid replied in his monotone voice. When Rarity looked over at the talking head she screamed. “IT’S ALIVE!” she screamed. “Of course, I'm alive. I do not require a body to function.” he replied. Rarity would have fainted if it wasn’t for Flutter shy who caught her before she fell. Ooooo! Pinkie pie looked in the eyes of the droid head as she got up close to him. “Why are you staring, I may not have a body but as a war tactician I can command my droids to attack you, but I calculate an 85% probability that you will leave me alone till I regain my body.” pinkie pie then grabbed his head in her hooves and spun around in circles with happiness “Your funny.” she replied with a smile. “I am not programmed to provide humor.” as every pony was calming down applejack then pointed at starlight. “Uh. What is she doing here?” as the ponies began to glance away with worried looks. Starlight looked away sadly before twilight when over to her. “Actually, it’s kind of a long story.” A jump cut goes to starlight pacing outside of the doors with the droid just watching her pace as the main six were talking in the room with the map. “Hey Starlight.” Moss said as he when over to her. “It must be worrying, but I have been with ponies for some time so I know nothing bad will happen to you. They always treat ponies with kindness.” Starlight felt reassured but was still scared. The doors then opened with Spike using his claw to signal that the main six were done talking. She gulped before she when in with the droids following her. As they when in the main 6 were looking at Starlight, but not in a bad way since they were smiling. “I know there is no excuse for what I did, but I want you to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair.” Starlight told the six ponies. “I think it’s wise to place her in a contain-.” The tactical droid replied but was immediately shut by Moss. “And continue.” Twilight gave him a weird look before turning back to Starlight. “I’ve been thinking about how badly equestria fared without just one group of friends. Because even when one friendship dies the results can be disastrous.” “I know first hoof how true that can be. “Starlight said disappointingly. “And that’s why I've asked you here. If you're willing to learn I'm willing to teach you what I know. You’ll have the power to make equestria an even better place.” The other five were looking at her with smiles all around “How do I start?” Starlight asked. “Starting is easy. All you must do is make a friend, and you’ve got seven of them right here.” Twilight finished as the other ponies and spike got around Starlight. She felt happy to have friends again. “Thank you.” she said as they all embraced in a hug. “Hey!” Moss interrupted. “Sorry if I ruined your moment, but do you think you could still help us.” “Of course, we will Darling, but first all of you need to go to the spa if you don’t want to go to the hospital, we’ll need you to look presentable to the public.” Rarity said. “Oh no they don’t. Their machine if I ever saw one, they need to get to someone that can fix them up.” Applejack told Rarity. “They're just as much as living as machine.” Rarity argued back. Both Applejack and Rarity then gave each other angry glares eye to eye. “Um. Some of us are just fine and don’t need repairs. You can just take the ones that won’t need them.” Klam suggested. Applejack and Rarity then gave him a surprised look before turning to each other. “Well, I suppose that can work.” Rarity said to applejack. “I agree, you’ll take the ones that’ll won’t need fixing, and I'll take the ones that need a fixing.” They both agreed. “Alright darlings who does not need Uh... Fixing?” It felt weird saying that. Moss, Klam and Brute when up to Rarity since they were in good condition. “Goodness. You'll need to clean all the muck on your body once we get to the spa. “Well, we needed it for camouflage.” Moss said. “But not so much now.” then two more B1’s and B2’s walked over to rarity also not having any missing parts. “Is that everyone then, time to go darlings.” Rarity said as she headed for the doors and the droids followed her out the room. “She a weird one.” one of the B1’s said before leaving the room. That left Applejack with the rest of the droids. “Well... theirs's a lot more of Ya than I expected.” she stated. Counting them all there were 9 B1’s, 5 B2’s, and the Tactical droid head. “Um. Twilight, I may need to borrow some bits. I heard there was a blacksmith in Appaloosa, made they can get fixed up there?” “Sure applejack, meet me at the train station once I finish something up here.” “Alight, thanks Twilight.” Applejack then headed to the door and picked up the tactical droid head. “Unhand me.” The droid replied. “Ya wants to get fixed up.” she told the droid before putting him on her back and with the rest of the droids headed to the door. Once the applejack and the remaining droids were gone twilight got the ponies and spike to prepare for something. “I was thinking we could do something special for the droids once they're done. Since they had never seen us before. So.” Twilight then whispered in Pinkie Pies ear. “You mean.” Pinkie said twilight nodded “This will be the best party ever!” she said excitedly before zipping out the door. “Come on girls. Let's help.” “Welcome to the Ponyville Day Spa!” Rarity announced. The droids looked at the place. It was a much larger building than they could have expected. It kind of looked like a small outpost. So, this is the place that will give us a clean?” Moss asked “Not just that darling. They will make you feel relaxed here.” “It’s not just for cleaning.” Moss did think it would be nice to finally relax after years of sure constant fighting from Chryilis and the Galactic Republic. “I guess It sounds nice” Moss said trying to be Polite. “Well once you get in, you’ll never want to leave.” she said eagerly as they when into the spa. “Welcome Rarity!” two ponies said as they eagerly when in front of them. They both had long straightened hair and were the same colors, but they had it in different way. One had blue hair, but a pink body and the other had pink hair, but a blue body. “How may we serve you?” they replied. “I won’t be the only one. Right behind me are some of Twilight’s new friends. So, I need them to look clean as possible.” They nodded at each other. “Ok, come with us” one of the ponies said with the droids responding by following her, but rarity stopped them. “You know darlings, you don’t need to bring those things in your hands.” pointing at the B1’s E-5 Blaster Rifles. “Oh. Sure.” Moss replied as he put down his blaster on a nearby table followed by Klam doing the same. “But. We need these for protection.” one of the other B1’s said. “Does this place look like it’s an enemy base.” Moss told the B1. “Um. Kind of?” it questioned. “Do you want to get cleaned or not.” The droid hesitated for a moment but decided it would not be a problem and put down their weapons. As they followed the two ponies into a room, they saw a tub filled with steaming water, a room filled with steam, some chairs lined up together, a few other things that were hard to explain. “This place looks nice.” Klam said. “I’m glad you like it” Rarity replied. “I suggest you head on over to the bath over there.” point over at the tub. “But it’s not filled with oil.” Moss said. “How do we get ourselves-cleaned?” “OIL!? Darling. Oil is for industrial purposes. Why would you want to clean yourselves in something like that?” Moss didn’t want to argue with Rarity, besides he just wanted to get clean, and he was waterproof so the water wouldn’t hurt him. He just hoped that the water would be enough. “Well, if you want, we can just go in.” Moss asked. “You’ll need to go in anyways, if you try it that least. It's not bad at all.” Moss walked up to the tub. The water did look nice. “You sure this is a good idea?” Klam said. “Well, we are waterproof, so it won’t hurt us.” both Moss and Klam hopped in in the tub. It was a weird feeling, but in a nice way. Brute and the other droid were a little hesitant but hopped in anyways. “This isn’t so bad.” Klam said. “See, there you go darlings. Now I will be in the Steam room. But Aloe will be by your side if you need anything.” Rarity said before heading to the steam room. The droids just sat in the tub hoping that this would clean them. “You need to put the soap in first” “Alright. We're here.” Applejack said to the droid group pointing at the train station. “Where? I cannot see this Location since you put me in this bag. The Tactical droid complained being locked in a bag that applejack was carrying on her back. “Well, I don’t want you to scare any pony from seeing a talking head. Your machine buddies already could scare some ponies for not having limbs.” Applejack told him. “Even so. We are machines. We shouldn’t give anyone a scare. We were never programmed to do that.” Applejack didn’t like the droid talking in such a strange way. “Location? Programmed? These guys are much stranger than I thought.” Applejack told herself. As they were waiting for the train to come by many ponies looked at the droid group with surprise, never seeing such tall things before. One filly when right up to a B1 unit with a missing left arm. The filly was holding a box of cookies in his mouth. Holding it up to the droid. “Oh. Thanks!” the B1 said pick up a cookie before patting the head of the filly. The filly giggled before running back to his parents. “That was nice. But what is this?” the B1 said looking at the Cookie. “How do you not know what a cookie is?” Applejack said. “Huh. It looks like a transfer disc.” another B1 with a missing right hand said. “What transfers disc. Those are inefficient.” The Tactical droid said. “Sh! Keep your yap quiet.” Applejack told the droid hoping no one heard him in her bag. Luckly the train arrived just in time for them to get on before more ponies came up to them. Applejack and the droid group headed onto the train. There were lots of ponies on the train. They all stared at Applejack and the group of droids as they found places to sit down. One B2 with part of his left arm missing and only having the shoulder sat down near a mother and her child. The filly looked up at the B2 with wide eyes as the B2 turned to the filly’s direction. ‘What do you want?” the B2 said in his deep voice. The mother then grabbed her filly close to her and scooted and inch away from the B2. “Now that was refreshing.” Rarity said has she and the droids came out of the spa. The droids were all clean from any muck that was on them before, Moss felt great after the clean. He could feel all his joints moving smoothly and his head felt like it was just adjusted. “I feel right out of the assembly line.” Moss said gladly. Rarity then turned to Moss. “That’s why you asked about oil.” “Well...yeah.” Moss replied, “Even then it still felt great.” “See I told you darling.” she said happily. “Now I don’t know if you saw it, but Twilight came over to tell me to bring you back to the Castle.” “Oh really? Why?” Moss asked, “We’ll find out at the castle.” she replied. As they headed over to the castle the town looked dead, but Moss took the guess that they were inside their houses because of a coming storm. Moss didn’t like the rain. It always happens in the rainforest and when it doesn’t it was only for a few moments. When they got to the castle it was dark inside before the lights were turned on “SUPRISE!” an entire group of ponies shouted. The 4 B1’s jump scared with one of them falling over. The 3 B2’s were about to lift their weapons, but Brute realized they were the town ponies and got the other 2 to put down their weapons. “Happy welcome!” Pinkie Pie came up to the group Excitingly. “We had a Suprise party set up just for you guys.” she said happily. Moss had never seen her this happy before. He would have said something before when he saw Twilight’s Pinkie Pie, but he thought it would be weird to say something that wouldn’t make sense to her. He still wanted to be thankful for it. “This place looks much different now.” he said. “Of course, silly. Every pony came to the party!” Pinkie Pie said as she grabbed Moss and brought him over to a table filled with different types of treats. “What would you like? We've got Cupcakes, cookies, punch, and more!” Moss felt bad that he couldn’t eat food since he wasn’t organic. But he wanted to be nice. “Sure. I will take one of those Cupcakes.” Moss said. “Oke Doke!” She said before handing Moss a Cupcake and then hopping happily away. “But sir. You're not organic.” Klam asked, “I know, I’m just being nice.” Moss replied. He needed to do something with the cupcake since he couldn’t just hold it in his hands. He then saw a grey Pegasus with yellow hair chomping on some cupcakes so moss when over to her. “Hey. You want this?” “Oh sure! Thanks stranger.” Pegasus said before continuing to eat the cupcakes. With that out of the way he could enjoy the party that was made for him and the droids. He saw the rest of the droids split up and some talking to some ponies. He knew everything would go well. The train stopped with a loud screech from its gears before coming to a halt. As Applejack and the droids got off the train many ponies were starting to look at her and the group. She was starting to get uncomfortable with all this attention. “Let's pick up the pace before we're surrounded by every pony.” Applejack Told the droids “They will not be a problem. I will have the droids prepared to attack when needed.” The Tactical droid said. “NO!” Applejack shouted, but this caused more ponies to look in her direction. “Can you not please. We don’t want any pony getting hurt.” she whispered into the bags where the droid was. “I’m programmed to assist in battle with any available troops.” “Enough with your program hooligan things. It’s not helping one bit.” Apple explained to the droid. “If you so wish. Organics can sometimes be annoyed by someone.” Applejack got the first part, but really didn’t like how the droid was trying to be the smart one in this situation. After a little bit Applejack finally found the blacksmith place with a sign saying Bill’s Blacksmith Shop. “Finally. This must be the place.” she said gladly. “I don’t like this place.” A B1 with a missing left leg said. “We’ve been made in a factory before. How could you fear a metal shop?” another B1 one with a missing right leg said. “don’t tell me you don’t know what a blacksmith is too.” The droids look at her. “Sorry sir.” “I’m a mare!” Applejack shouted at the B1. “Ok... mare. Sir?” the B1 couldn’t tell that a mare meant madam. As she was going to bend her head in Frustration a door opened behind her. As she turned around, she saw a Stallion with a camo green coat and a brown mane staring with wide eyes. “You ok partner?” The camo green pony looked at applejack. “I never seen things like these before. Are they from a village in the mountains?” Author's Note Didn't even try to finish this one. and that wraps up my not very well written story. hope you enjoyed it.
Chapter 1Twilight and Spike Both hit their heads on the Table again after getting sent through Space and time for the Second time.” Well, that didn’t work. “Spike said with a sigh after cleaning himself off.” This is going to be harder than I thought, we’ll have to try again.” Twilight said. “Hey Twilight” Spike said while tugging twilight and giving off a worried smile, but Twilight ignored him.” I don’t want to live in that awful future we saw, even if it had new lifeforms.” she said while looking through the scroll to try and find the words to bring them back.” I don’t think you’ll have to” spike finish before spears were pointing at them. “Drop your Weapons!” a machine-like voice said before Twilight dropped the scroll. She was surprised to see her two friends Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy along with some other ponies she knew from Pony Ville with green Sob around their bodies in different types of patterns, but the strange thing was the voice came from the things right behind the ponies. They had the same sob on them, but they were completely different to ponies and made of metal, the first 5 were taller than the ponies by a few feet, stood on two legs, were tan colored, had a long dome like head, held something black in their hands, and where much skinnier. The 3 other ones looked a little different to the tan ones with them being dark grey, having larger and stronger bodies, their heads being in their torso, and pointing their wrists at her and spike which had tubes under their arm plating. The final 2 machines look like the combination of a Mantis and a Rolly Polly, but having three legs, bronze plating on the backs, 4 tubes like weapons where their hands would have been, and a blue protective shield that surrounded them, meaning they could possibly know magic. “Pinky? Flutter shy?” said Twilight before she got cut off by Pinky “Silence Changeling” she said in an aggressive tone.” All serving Queen Chrysalis found in these woods must be destroyed” Flutter shy finish Pinky’s Sentence before the Grey machines start to walk towards her and Spike. Twilight gulped at the fact she could get destroyed by these machines and didn’t like the results of where it was headed. “We’re not Changelings! I’m a pony and he’s a dragon!” Twilight panicked” Oh likely story” Pinky said again in her aggressive tone. “Yeah, save it for the Commander.” the same Tan droid said, still pointing his blaster at her. “And if he’s really a dragon” pinky said looking coldly at spike “do something dragonish.” then spike shot out a cloud of smoke at pinky’s face before she coughed for air “That works.” she said weakly. “That could still be that the servants of chrysalis would do anything to save their evil schemes” flutter shy said before more spears were pointing at twilight and spike along with the clicking sounds of reloading ammo from the machines. “Stall!” A voice from the trees said which everyone turned to look where the voice came from. “If they’re not changelings we will soon see, though I think they’re not what they appear to be.” as the voice came out of the tree to reveal a Zebra who Twilight immediately knew who it was. “Sakura please you have to listen” twilight said before another spear was pointing at her again. Sakura moved the spear to go face to face with Twilight “beneath this Sob no changeling hides for it reveals the truth inside.” Sakura then put the sob on twilight and spike before they started to glow. All the ponies gasped and ran away to hide in the forest and the Tan machines started to move back with 1 tripping over a rock, but Sakura, the grey and bronze machine stayed in their place with the machines getting into more defensive positions. “What does it mean?” Pinky pie said in a worried voice.” the meaning is far worse I see, for it is we who should not be.” Sakura said to every pony. "Wait...does that mean we don’t exist!” One of the Tan machines said in panic.” I think I can explain” Twilight said to the machine. “What’s the point! explain if we don’t exist that means The Separatist doesn’t exist.” After that every pony started to talk to each other again. Twilight was worried that she would make everyone scared of their existence, but the words that came from the tan machine. “The Separatist. That's what they look like?” she thought but was woken up by Sakura who had already calmed down every pony. “I’m sure you can explain, but let’s not talk here. Chrysalis and her army will soon draw near.” Sakura told twilight before getting every pony to head back into the forest where they came, to Twilight’s surprise, the bronze machines rolled up into balls and started to roll ahead of the group. She was a little scared of the machines, but she let it pass before she started to follow. Sometime had passed as Sakura and her troops were heading back to the village they had created after Chrysalis attacked Canter lot not long ago, after some talking of how time works like a river twilight wanted to know about the Machines of the Separatist alliance, and she didn’t get too much from applejack back in the last timeline so maybe Sakura knows more about them, “Sakura. How did these machines even appear here in equestria?” Sakura turned to twilight again.” I afraid I won’t be able to tell, but someone in town will help you make up your mind.” she said before they came to a village entrance where twilight saw many ponies and machines talking or helping each other out and looking like no pony was judging the machines and their looks. "Well, this looks cozy.’ spike said. "Put the Repulser lifts at the bottom not the sides.” a machine-like monotone voice said as twilight was lead in the direction of where it came from. When they arrived, Twilight could believe what was in front of her. It was a large machine that had a long tube-like weapon on the front of the head, arched in a weird way and it was floating off the ground but not by much,” Um. Sir. Sakura behind you.” the machine turned to twilight and Sakura, it looked like the tan droids, but didn’t look skinny, had a rounded beak like mouth, and had glowing white eyes.” Greetings Sakura, welcome back.” it said in its monotone voice before bowing. “Greetings Commander, we have come with someone from a different past to learn about your travel from a far.” The machine turned to look at Twilight. “Greetings Twilight, I’m Commander from the used to be powerful Separatist Alliance, if you want to call me by my designation number it is TN-7854.” it said to Twilight.” Um I like your name Commander better.” The commander then put his hands behind his back. "So, you never heard about the attack we did on Canter Lot after a failed negotiation for becoming our ally in the war against the Galactic Empire?” it said to her. “Wait. You attack Canter lot!” Twilight said shocked”.” Like I said before, it was after failed negotiations with your leaders Princess Celestia and Luna, but in the end we both fell to the forces of Queen Chrysalis.” Twilight couldn’t believe that these machines were trying to have ponies fight for them in a war where they had no clue who the enemy was. She wasn’t even sure why Sakura even trusted them to live in the same village as them.” Why? Why would they trust you.” “It’s a lot to take in, however it was the best option if we were going to have a chance for survival. If we went our separate ways, we both would have 24% chance of survival before being found by Chrysalis and being eliminated.” however if we put are differences aside and allied, we’d have a 64% chance of survival and a 58% chance of defeating Chrysalis and her army thanks to The Separatist technology and a magic of the Equines combined.” Twilight wasn’t someone who’d like violence, but she understood why they both teamed up. They neither want the Chrysalis army to take over. She looked at the rest of the machines, then turned back to Commander.” how are these machines going to fight against Chrysalis?” twilight asked. “We are not just machines, we are droids. I’m a Tactical droid that was made to command my troops into battle, my soldiers consist of B1’s, B2’s, and Droidekas, and once we finish repairs, we will have an AAT to eliminate Chrysalis’s stronger forces.” “We are also equipped with Blaster’s to take out are enemies from afar, and thermal detonators that can eliminate groups of soldiers with one blast.” Twilight didn’t even need to ask any more questions, now she knew that they were prepared for an attack from Chrysalis. But before she could there was a loud scream within the forest, every pony turned to look in the direction where the scream came from. Out of the forest came Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack who were in bad shape with messed up manes and scars. “You have to help us!” Rarity said. Rainbow Dash followed suit.” The Changelings attacked pony ville! We barely escaped with our lives!” Twilight couldn’t believe it, her friends managed to survive. She was about to walk over to greet them but was stopped by Sakura and then turned to commander. The Commander then picked up a pad-looking device from his belt and tapped through it for a moment before turning to one of the B1’s and nodded. Then every single Droid lifted their blaster and when into defensive positions.” The only changeling attack I see, is the one that comes here looking for me.” Sakura said before applejack then started to walk up to Sakura and Commander before stopping midway. “it’s taken quite some time to find you. It was cold.” Then a yellowish green ring started to surround applejack and started to transform her. Every pony started to run towards her along with 3 Droideka who when over and activated their shields to protect Commander and Twilight. After the transformation it was revealed to be Queen Chrysalis who started to laugh while the droids and ponies were headed to protect their leaders. “What a lovely village you’ve have chosen to stage your little resistance, it looks Delicious”. Chrysalis said to Sakura who was giving her an angry look, then 2 ponies with spear pushed Chrysalis back. “Oh, come on now Sakura, you’re vastly outnumbered.” before the two ponies turn into changeling guards and even more changelings came out of the forest "Enough with your games” Commander said in his monotone voice “You many have weaken us, but we still have advantages in are forces that are superior to yours.” Author's Note And it ends there's. yep. I know my young self didn't even try to finish it. Unlike the next chapter.
Chapter 2The constant falling through portals was starting to get annoying to twilight and Spike after getting themself almost caught by Chrysalis’s changelings. “That’s strange?” Spike said while looking up at the sky “Well, you obviously don’t mean us falling because that’s becoming pretty routine” Twilight said angerly while cleaning off her wings. “Ugh what happened?” a machine voice behind them said which surprised both to look. It was the same B1’s and B2 the save her from getting captured by changelings back in the other timeline. “you guys?” “Twilight what happened, where are we!?” the same B1 said with a worried voice. “What’s going on?” the B2 said in a deep voice. “Yeah, like Brute said” the other B1 replied. Twilight knew she needed to calm down the droids before they started thinking she was crazy . “Every pony please calm down!” Twilight shouted at the droids which the 3 droids when silent. Twilight sighed.” Ok first let's start with your names. Who are you?” The droids looked at each other wondering who would go first. Then the B1 that asked her where they were stepped up to her. “My name is Moss, and behind me is Klam the other B1 and Brute the B2, Sorry about us going a little overboard with misunderstanding.” “You don’t have to worry about that.” Twilight reassured them “however right now is not the time to wonder where we are, we need to get back.” “Well twilight just look up in the sky and tell me that isn’t strange” Spike trying to get her attention. “What’s so important about that Spike?” Twilight asked, “It’s just the other times we’ve come back it’s been day but look.” Twilight and the droids looked up where the sky was, and it was night. “I just the night sky, what’s so important about it?” Moss said, but Twilight had more questions. “Why would the map bring us back to a different time of day than we left?” “I agree with Moss.” Klam said, “I don’t see anything wrong with that.” “Well, me and spike both got transported to other places and they were both day, wouldn’t it be weird if you got transported to a different place and it was night instead of day?” “Well, we did get transported with you and I still don’t understand what's so weird about night.” “Oh, maybe we should figure it out later!” spike said before growling was heard behind them, when they turn to see it was 2 Timber wolves, the most dangerous creatures of the Evergreen Forest. “Oh no not Timberwolves. I hate those things.” Moss said backing up and lifting his blaster. “I don’t want to become it’s chew toy again” Klam said backing up with Moss. Brute on the other hand did the same as the 2 B1’s but lifted its 2 arms and activated his Wrist blasters and was prepared to shoot them. "Cowards.” Brute said in his deep voice, even if he was backing up, he was much braver than the tan droids . 1 of the Timber wolves hoped on the table and started to sniff the air. Twilight didn’t want the droids to Escalate to violence, so she tried to do a spell to teleport the wolves away from the table before they were noticed, but after the fight with Starlight she was tried and couldn’t use the spell. “What are we doing.” Moss said to Klam. "Come on Klam there’s only 2 of them and 4 of us, we can take them.” “It won’t matter.” Klam said disappointingly. Then the 2 Wolves looked at them and started to howl. “RUN!” Twilight shouted before she picked up spike on her back and started to gallop in the other direction, Moss and Klam followed suit and Brute was about to join them, but then blasted down the 2 Wolves instantly, killing them. Twilight, Spike, Moss, Klam, and Brute were running away from the more Howling that was chasing them, but it all ended in one moment when they reached a Castle as bright as the stars in the sky. “The Castle of the Two Sister!” Twilight while her mouth was open wide. “You mean the ones with the flowing hair? Do you think they can help us?” Moss said before more howling was heard from the forest “Well let's don’t just stand here” spike said before running towards the castle with Twilight and the droids joining him. Once they made it to the castle doors, they immediately closed it behind them so no wolves could follow them, they looked around them. It was a beautiful castle with it being clean a refined, there were even torches that lit a blue flame when they entered the castle, at first every pony was silent for the moment till the spike interrupted it. “This place looks a lot cleaner than I remembered.” “At least it looks nice.” Moss said before a Tarp was raised in front of them, which then was moved to the side when a white pony with a violet mane and dark blue clothing started hanging it on the wall “Rarity!” Twilight said gladly. “The castle isn’t-” as Rarity was turning to Twilight and Spike, but her voice pauses when she saw the droids behind them staring at them with wide eyes and then started to scream “THE DROIDS ARE BACK! THEIR BACK TO HURT US ALL!” Rarity screamed as she ran away from them. “Rarity! Wait!” Twilight tried to tell her, but by then she had already gone down the hall. “Well, that’s just rude.” Moss said. “Why do I have a bad feeling about this place.” Klam said. “You're not the only one.” Brute agreed. “Well, if you’d scared Rarity, that could mean you might have had a conflict that didn’t end well.” Twilight said worried. “Just a conflict.” As a voice across the hall said a royal like voice. The group looked over where the voice came from and saw a mare with flowing hair, but they couldn’t see the rest of the details because she was hiding in the shadows of the moon. “Twilight. Who is that?” Moss said while trying to get her attention, but Twilight was looking around with a worried face and noticing the banners around the castle had the same figure on the chair. “Now that’s something I would like to see.” before revealing herself and started laughing. She had flowing night blue hair, a long horn on her forehead, and a crescent moon on her side. It was Nightmare Moon “Hey, wait a minute. Aren’t you the white one’s sister called Luna?” Moss replied. She didn’t listen and instead 6 guards came and when in front of the throne to protect her. There were 3 big guards and 3 small ones which were just mares, but more guards started to come out of nowhere to surround the group. “So much for this being a safe place to stay.” Klam said before starting to lift his blaster in self-defense. Brute on the other hand lifted both his wrist blasters with no hesitation and was ready to blast every pony if the guards even came close to him, and he seemed to want them to come close. (Mostly just to kill them) “Tell me. How did you come across these battle droids? You know they were outlawed so no one would try to use them.” she said. Twilight didn’t want to have to answer that question, but she didn’t need to because a guard interrupted. “The princess asked you a question” the mare said before taking her helmet off to reveal her to be Rainbow dash with a shaved mane. “Unless you want to end up in the dungeon, you’ll tell her what she wants to know.” Twilight was getting scared the more time she was here, but even then, Brute when right Infront of rainbow and blocked her from seeing twilight. “Hey! Step aside droid! Or you’ll end up in the dungeon too!” giving him an angry glare. All Brute did was stare at her with a blank expression before a clicking sound came from him activating his wrist blasters again, he didn’t even have to point them at her because the clicking sound alone made her flinch. But Nightmare didn’t seem to care that much. “No pony in my kingdom should possess machines like this. They are the only things that almost destroyed it.” “Your kingdom.” Spike said behind twilight “Who else” she questioned “Your white coat sister, Isn't she here?” Moss said not even trying to lift his weapon since he just wanted to talk without conflict. All the guards gave each other a worried glance at each other. Nightmare Moon then started to laugh which made Moss regret knowing what the answer would be wasn’t anything good. “My sister has been imprisoned in moon for years, but it is no less faith than she says it’s me droid.” she told him while staring at him with a stern look. “Oh, I guess I will back off” Moss said moving back to join Klam and Brute. “Now young mare if you give me those droids, I will let you go with no harm. If you don’t, you’ll end up like other droid supporters.” Twilight couldn’t believe what was happening, she was now given a choice between her and spike to escape and leave Moss, Klam, and Brute behind or end up in the same way as droids that were found. As much as she wanted to get out of this place, she had a feeling she would be betraying them. After all they did save her and Spike’s life, if they weren’t there, she could have been stuck in that world. Trapped and could never get back to her friends. She knew what she had to do. “no” she replied “Pardon?” Nightmare said “I will not let them go. Unlike what droids like these ones did here, these 3 saved me and Spike from being captured by changelings, they were willing to help me and disobey their orders just to save me. So, if you want to have them, you’ll have to go through me.” The droids were surprised at what Twilight said, even spike was dumbfounded from what she said, but Twilight knew it was truth and was going to keep it that way. “Well, if that’s how you going to be, then prepare to meet your demise!” A blue aura surrounded the group and they started lifting them in the air. “OH NO NOT AGAIN!” Moss said in panic before they were teleported away. Twilight got back up again after the blue aura dropped her, Spike, and the 3 droids. She felt like she was near the sun with all the heat around them. “Twilight where are we?” spike asked looking around them. From what Twilight saw it was a factory of some sort, with sounds of multiple gears and pistons working on conveyor belts. “Um. Twilight you shouldn’t look.” Moss said before Twilight then saw what he was referring to. Her mouth dropped when she was on the conveyor belts that held destroyed B1 and B2 battle droids with most having their limbs torn off their bodies and even some with no heads. Twilight felt like she was going to faint, just seeing these machines being treated like this was too much for her. However, she turned her head to the sound of teleporting and saw Nightmare Moon and lots of guards looking at the group. “Once I'm finished with you these droids will be a memorable finale to destroying the last of this army!” She said with a grin before shooting a beam of magic at twilight which she dodged just in time. “Quick blast them!” Moss Shouted before the droids started to shoot red lasers at Moon and the guards with the unicorn guards responding with magic blasts “Don’t get close to the droids, they hit you better if you charge them.” She told the guards. Even so Twilight, Spike and the 3 droids were being pushed back to a corner where the conveyor belts were headed higher up to the ceiling. “DIE equines!” Brute said while shooting down many of the guards faster than they could react, but he was in the moment before guards started to aim right at his head and shoot magic at it, but luckily Twilight saw this and pull him way before the magic bolts hit him. “WHOA!” Brute shouted before being pulled back by twilight magic. As Brute fell, he looked back at Twilight. “Thanks.” he said before getting back up and started shooting again. “You're welcome!” Twilight said with a smile enjoying the thank you from him. The fighting continued for a few minutes, but the group was now back up against the wall cornered by Nightmare Moon and the rest of the guards. “DON’T LET THEM WIN! FINISH THEM!” Nightmare moon shouted which the guards started fire magic blasts again. Twilight put up a magic shield to protect the group but now had nowhere to go. “Were trapped!” Twilight shouted, “It must have been her plan.” Moss said while still firing on the guards. Twilight what do we do now?” Spike said he was worried that they wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess. “We’ll get out of this spike.” Twilight reassured him. But Twilight wasn’t sure how to get out of this mess. She looked at the conveyor belts to hopefully find something on them that was useful, and that when she saw a Tactical droid head, the head was blue instead of green, but nonetheless it was the same design, it wouldn’t have been helpful if she didn’t know that droids don’t need limbs to function and from commander, they didn’t need a body to run properly. It was a long shot, but she hoped it was worth it. “Moss!” Twilight called him which he turned immediately “What Twilight?” Moss asked, “I have a plan, but I need to lower my magic shield to work on it.” “What!? How do we defend ourselves if there’s nothing to protect us?!” Twilight noticed some crates near the conveyor belts which should be enough to protect them. “Use the crates.” She told him. Moss looked at the crates which looked like they could survive a few bolts of magic blasts “Fine...I will use the crates.” he said, mumbling. “Klam! help me move these crates to the front for protection. Twilight has a plan.” “Roger. Roger.” Klam Replied before helping Moss lift the crates to the front to protect them. While Moss and Klam were putting the crates into their position, Twilight was having trouble holding the shield thanks to the number of times it was being attacked. “Guys. I can’t hold the shield for much longer.” “Were getting the last of the crates ready just hold on.” Moss reassured as Klam was setting down the last crate. “It’s finished sir, you can let it go Twilight.” Twilight was relieved, but before she let the shield go, she looked at Moss “Don’t let her see me” she said to Moss before she let the shield go down. “THE MARE IS WEAKEN! NOW USE YOUR STRONGEST ATTACKS ON THE DROIDS!” Nightmare Moon Commanded her Unicorn guards who attacked with their magic, but thanks to the crates they were enough to repel the attacks. Twilight used this to run over to the Tactical droid head. The head was already headed up to the higher conveyor belts. Twilight was trying to catch up to it, but the conveyor belt was giving her a difficult time getting to it. So, she decided to focus and try to teleport it to her. But she was still weakened from holding the shield, but she was willing to try. “Ok. You can do this.” Twilight told herself. She then focused on teleporting the Tactical droid head over to her, it took a little bit, but she was able to get the head. “Yes!” she said as she was holding her head, but she had no time to celebrate, because she needed to as she needed to get back as fast as she could possibly go. Luckily, she got just in time when she saw an explosion destroying most of the crates that were protecting spike and the droids, but the droids put the last of the crates in a line as a final line of defense. “Twilight! You're ok.” Spike happily hugged her “No worries Spike I'm alright, but I need to find a way to turn on this Tactical droid.” “Twilight we're a little busy here!” Moss said still firing at the guards “Klam! Help Twilight but make it quick! We're getting overwhelmed here!” “Yes sir!” Klam replied before heading to Twilight’s position. “Is that a Tactical droid head?” Klam asked Twilight “Yep” “How is that going to help?” Twilight then turned to him. “If we're going to get out of here, we will need cause a Distraction. “And from what I learned from Commander I think Tactical droids can turn on droids like you since you're technically not living.” “Of course, we’re not living” “So, I was thinking. What if we can turn on the Droids that are on the Conveyor Belts and they can help us escape? It’s a long shot but I think it will work. Now how do we turn this on?” Twilight asked Klam. Klam quickly Responded by grabbing something on the side of his waist. “This should work, we use these to reactivate droids that still have power in them.” showing her the device. It was a thin metal rod that had some type of plug that the end of that was the same shape as the hole at the bottom of the Tactical Droids head. Twilight grabbed the Device and put it into the plug of the Droid. The device then started to activate, and a red light was seen as it started to make noise. More bolts of magic started hitting the crates and there wasn’t much protection left as the crates started to move apart. “Whatever your big plan is can you please hurry it up!” Moss shouted to Twilight before a magic bolt zipped right past his head. “Hold on! It's just about done!” Klam shouted to Moss. And right on cue the device light turned green meaning it was done. Klam then Removed the device, and the droid was reactivated. “What is happening?” The Tactical droid said in his monotone voice as he was turned back on. Twilight then turned his head towards Her's. “Hi there. My name is Twilight Sparkle and right now we’re in a pickle. Nightmare Moon has defeated you in a fight that you might have planned out, but me and Klam have turned you back on to give you a second chance, but you must listen to me, you got that?” The Tactical droid’s eyes and mouth then lit up with the same white color as Commander in the last timeline she when in. “What is your Command?”. She was glad the droid understood her knowing that he might want to get out of here too. “I want you to reactivate any battle droids that can still help us get out of here. And have them to attack Nightmare moon and her guards”. “Affirmative.” Klam and Twilight then looked up and saw that the droids were starting to get up back on their feet. A lot more droids were reactivating than Twilight expected. Even B2’s that were hanging from claws were activated and the claw dropped them onto the Conveyor Belt and Luckly nightmare moon didn’t see what was happening up above. As the B1 and B2 battle droids started to get up some started to question. “Huh? What’s happening?” “I don’t know” “Did we win?” As the droids kept asking themselves what was going on the Tactical Droid was preparing his order. “New command sequence. Your target is Factory security personnel.” As the droids heard this command the B2’s started to walk to the edges of the Conveyor belt and jumped down right around Nightmare Moon and her Guards with two completely unharmed ones that fell in front beginning to activate their wrist blasters and firing on the ponies. “NO!” Nightmare Moon shouted as more B2 battle droids started to join the fight with cover fire from the B1’s from above. “Orders are Orders” One B1 said as he and a few others jumped off and landed on guards to distract them from attacking the B2’s before those droids shot those guards. The plan was working and many of the droids would be saved. “FALL BACK!” Nightmare moon told her guards before they immediately ran as more Droid started to join and shoot them down. From twilight perspective there were at least 21 B1’s and 17 B2’s which was more than enough to push out Nightmare Moons forces. ” There falling back!” Moss said with glee “Come on! Let's hurry up before she brings more forces!” Both Brute and Klam started to follow moss and join the other droids with Twilight and Spike joining them as Twilight carried the Tactical droids' head on her back. When they got out of the smelting room there were more guards waiting from them and they started to charge, but not before more droids shot them from getting close. “There’s the Exit” Spike said pointing to the left of the smelting room. Twilight quickly turns her head to the Tactical droid on her back.” Tell the droids to meet us outside of where we got out.” which the droid gave out. “All forces head to the exits of the room we came from and head towards the nearest exit.” but when they got near Nightmare moon appeared with more guards blocking the exit. “I’M NOT LETTING YOU GO THAT EASLIY!” as the guards started firing projectiles at the crowd of droids and took out a few B1’s and B2’s. “Open fire!” the Tactical droid commanded. “Wait! More of them will get hurt. We need to find a different way!” “I calculate that you are 86% incorrect, this is the only exit.” the droid said as blaster and magic bolts zipped by them. There were more guards behind them blocking them from trying to go further into the factory. As more droid forces were being taken out the more, they were being pushed close together “Where surrounded!” A B1 with a missing arm said before being destroyed by a magic blast. “What do we do now?!” Spike said terrified of what could happen next “We eliminate the threat, but now we have a 45% chance of succeeding.” the droid replied. Twilight would have agreed with the droid since that was the only way out of this place without magic, but what the droids didn’t know was that she was an Alicorn. She could simply use her magic to teleport every pony out of here. The only problem was how she was going to get the droids that were still active to come along. She was only able to hold six ponies at once, if she wanted to escape with more she would need to really try to hold on, but it would weaken her trying to teleport more than she could handle, but if she wanted to save these droids, she was going to try her hardest. “I'm going teleport us out of here.” she told the Tactical droid. “What do you mean teleport? That ability is impossible to use.” “Well see for yourself.” Twilight then started to concentrate and used her magic to lift the remaining droids and spike into the air “Ahhhh! What is going on!?” one B1 said surprised. “Hold...On every pony!” She said she had used her magic to summon a bright light and blind Nightmare Moon and the rest of the guards and safely teleport them away. Twilight managed to teleport every pony back inside of Nightmare Moons castle which was now empty since every guard when to help her. Still, she would soon need to get out of the castle because Nightmare moon wouldn’t take long for her to realize where they were. She did take some time to recover though. “This location is no were near the factory. Does not compute.” The Tactical droid obviously not knowing the existence of magic, but sadly not every single droid got out. She had to leave the ones that had already been shot in the fight behind, she was saddened by the thought of not saving everyone. Ok every pony, let's get out of the castle now!” she told the other droids, but they were hesitant. “Sorry sir but we listen to the Commander.” One B1 with and missing left hand said. “What do you mean just listen to the commander.” Moss replied. “Our commander is long gone and Me, Klam, and Brute disobey our orders because of our timeline not being on the right path.” “Timeline? Time Travel is just a theory.” The Tactical droid replied. “Well, we experienced it, even though we only when through it once, but we still know more than you!” “He has a point. You do not know what time travel is yet, and besides would you want to start over and try again in a new life than trying to go through this one.” Twilight told the droid on her back. The droid when silent for a moment to calculate an answer, but Twilight took it as a not sure. “Now come every pony, we need to get out of here before Nightmare Moon traps us again, now follow me!” The droids then started following twilight towards the exit of the castle just in time too because Nightmare Moon teleported her guards right in the castle. “FIND THEM! DON’T LET THEM ESCAPE!” As Twilight heard this, she got the droids to run faster, but not before they ran into a pack of Timber Wolfs which the droids started to fire upon them, but the blaster fire let Nightmare Moon know where they were as Twilight heard the flapping of wings, Luckly she got the remaining droids to the table but were now surrounded by Timber Wolfs with droids trying to fight against them but with some getting torn apart by the wolfs. Twilight grabbed the scroll she was carrying with her to prepare to take what remains of the droids and themselves. “What are you doing? The Tactical droid question. “Getting us out of here.” said Twilight as she opened the scroll and started to read it. Then a portal appeared above them, and twilight used her magic to grab ahold of the remaining droids. “NOOOOOOOO!” Nightmare Moon said as they got pulled into the portal. Author's Note Glad this one was finish. the best chapter out of the 3
Chapter 3: the final chapter that that my young self madeAs the portal opened for the final time it immediately dropped Twilight, Starlight, Spike, and the remaining droids onto the table in the same place where twilight and spike got sucked in where it all started. It seemed like the portal didn’t want them to go back because it pulled the scroll twilight used which was almost ripped, but not the least it folded into a blue ball of magic as it brought back the map onto the table before headed up into the portal as it disappeared. Then a bright flash covered the inside of the castle and what was around it brought back ponyville, a village where Twilight lived. As every pony was getting back on their feet spike when to kiss the floor of the castle.” One castle of friendship. Check!” “Gross! Why would you kiss the floor.” Moss said disgusted. “Does not compute. Does not compute.” The tactical droid repeated as he laid on the floor Infront of two large doors still confused about everything that has happened up to this point. The rest of the droids got back up on their feet with a few hopping on one foot and a B1 without a head. “Is this another timeline? Do we need to find a way back again?” Kalm questioned. Twilight and Starlight giggled. “No need. We're back in my home.” Twilight answered, “Well that’s a relief. I don’t think I can go through more problems again” as every pony was getting back up. The two large doors opened wide and accidentally hit the head of the Tactical droid back to the group of B1’s and B2’s. In the entrance of the door were five ponies which in this case was Twilight’s friends. “What in Equestria was-” Before Rarity could finish her sentence, it was interrupted by the Tactical droid. “Hostiles detected.” The droids then lifted their blasters, prepared to fire. The five ponies huddled together scared for their lives. "WAIT!” Twilight shouted which got everyone's attention. “they’re my friends not enemies. You can put your weapons down.” The droids then lowered their weapons. Twilight when over to her to calm them down. “It ok. They were just surprised; they won’t hurt you.” The five ponies looked at each other then back at Twilight. “Ah'll right. We’ll trust you but explain to us what those are.” Applejack said pointing at the droid group with the remaining 11 B1’s, 7 B2’s, not counting Moss, Klam, Brute, and the Tactical Droid head. “That’s your biggest concern?” Rainbow Dash interrupted “How about ask how they are still standing. They have missing limbs!” She was right. Most of the droids Ethier had something less severe like a missing hand, but others had leftovers of an arm or were hopping on one leg, one even had a missing head. “Oh dear, your poor things.” Flutter shy wanted to hug them, but she thought it was best if no one touched where there were missing body parts. “Darling. What they need is to go to a hospital.” Rarity suggested “We do not need organic help.” the Tactical droid replied in his monotone voice. When Rarity looked over at the talking head she screamed. “IT’S ALIVE!” she screamed. “Of course, I'm alive. I do not require a body to function.” he replied. Rarity would have fainted if it wasn’t for Flutter shy who caught her before she fell. Ooooo! Pinkie pie looked in the eyes of the droid head as she got up close to him. “Why are you staring, I may not have a body but as a war tactician I can command my droids to attack you, but I calculate an 85% probability that you will leave me alone till I regain my body.” pinkie pie then grabbed his head in her hooves and spun around in circles with happiness “Your funny.” she replied with a smile. “I am not programmed to provide humor.” as every pony was calming down applejack then pointed at starlight. “Uh. What is she doing here?” as the ponies began to glance away with worried looks. Starlight looked away sadly before twilight when over to her. “Actually, it’s kind of a long story.” A jump cut goes to starlight pacing outside of the doors with the droid just watching her pace as the main six were talking in the room with the map. “Hey Starlight.” Moss said as he when over to her. “It must be worrying, but I have been with ponies for some time so I know nothing bad will happen to you. They always treat ponies with kindness.” Starlight felt reassured but was still scared. The doors then opened with Spike using his claw to signal that the main six were done talking. She gulped before she when in with the droids following her. As they when in the main 6 were looking at Starlight, but not in a bad way since they were smiling. “I know there is no excuse for what I did, but I want you to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair.” Starlight told the six ponies. “I think it’s wise to place her in a contain-.” The tactical droid replied but was immediately shut by Moss. “And continue.” Twilight gave him a weird look before turning back to Starlight. “I’ve been thinking about how badly equestria fared without just one group of friends. Because even when one friendship dies the results can be disastrous.” “I know first hoof how true that can be. “Starlight said disappointingly. “And that’s why I've asked you here. If you're willing to learn I'm willing to teach you what I know. You’ll have the power to make equestria an even better place.” The other five were looking at her with smiles all around “How do I start?” Starlight asked. “Starting is easy. All you must do is make a friend, and you’ve got seven of them right here.” Twilight finished as the other ponies and spike got around Starlight. She felt happy to have friends again. “Thank you.” she said as they all embraced in a hug. “Hey!” Moss interrupted. “Sorry if I ruined your moment, but do you think you could still help us.” “Of course, we will Darling, but first all of you need to go to the spa if you don’t want to go to the hospital, we’ll need you to look presentable to the public.” Rarity said. “Oh no they don’t. Their machine if I ever saw one, they need to get to someone that can fix them up.” Applejack told Rarity. “They're just as much as living as machine.” Rarity argued back. Both Applejack and Rarity then gave each other angry glares eye to eye. “Um. Some of us are just fine and don’t need repairs. You can just take the ones that won’t need them.” Klam suggested. Applejack and Rarity then gave him a surprised look before turning to each other. “Well, I suppose that can work.” Rarity said to applejack. “I agree, you’ll take the ones that’ll won’t need fixing, and I'll take the ones that need a fixing.” They both agreed. “Alright darlings who does not need Uh... Fixing?” It felt weird saying that. Moss, Klam and Brute when up to Rarity since they were in good condition. “Goodness. You'll need to clean all the muck on your body once we get to the spa. “Well, we needed it for camouflage.” Moss said. “But not so much now.” then two more B1’s and B2’s walked over to rarity also not having any missing parts. “Is that everyone then, time to go darlings.” Rarity said as she headed for the doors and the droids followed her out the room. “She a weird one.” one of the B1’s said before leaving the room. That left Applejack with the rest of the droids. “Well... theirs's a lot more of Ya than I expected.” she stated. Counting them all there were 9 B1’s, 5 B2’s, and the Tactical droid head. “Um. Twilight, I may need to borrow some bits. I heard there was a blacksmith in Appaloosa, made they can get fixed up there?” “Sure applejack, meet me at the train station once I finish something up here.” “Alight, thanks Twilight.” Applejack then headed to the door and picked up the tactical droid head. “Unhand me.” The droid replied. “Ya wants to get fixed up.” she told the droid before putting him on her back and with the rest of the droids headed to the door. Once the applejack and the remaining droids were gone twilight got the ponies and spike to prepare for something. “I was thinking we could do something special for the droids once they're done. Since they had never seen us before. So.” Twilight then whispered in Pinkie Pies ear. “You mean.” Pinkie said twilight nodded “This will be the best party ever!” she said excitedly before zipping out the door. “Come on girls. Let's help.” “Welcome to the Ponyville Day Spa!” Rarity announced. The droids looked at the place. It was a much larger building than they could have expected. It kind of looked like a small outpost. So, this is the place that will give us a clean?” Moss asked “Not just that darling. They will make you feel relaxed here.” “It’s not just for cleaning.” Moss did think it would be nice to finally relax after years of sure constant fighting from Chryilis and the Galactic Republic. “I guess It sounds nice” Moss said trying to be Polite. “Well once you get in, you’ll never want to leave.” she said eagerly as they when into the spa. “Welcome Rarity!” two ponies said as they eagerly when in front of them. They both had long straightened hair and were the same colors, but they had it in different way. One had blue hair, but a pink body and the other had pink hair, but a blue body. “How may we serve you?” they replied. “I won’t be the only one. Right behind me are some of Twilight’s new friends. So, I need them to look clean as possible.” They nodded at each other. “Ok, come with us” one of the ponies said with the droids responding by following her, but rarity stopped them. “You know darlings, you don’t need to bring those things in your hands.” pointing at the B1’s E-5 Blaster Rifles. “Oh. Sure.” Moss replied as he put down his blaster on a nearby table followed by Klam doing the same. “But. We need these for protection.” one of the other B1’s said. “Does this place look like it’s an enemy base.” Moss told the B1. “Um. Kind of?” it questioned. “Do you want to get cleaned or not.” The droid hesitated for a moment but decided it would not be a problem and put down their weapons. As they followed the two ponies into a room, they saw a tub filled with steaming water, a room filled with steam, some chairs lined up together, a few other things that were hard to explain. “This place looks nice.” Klam said. “I’m glad you like it” Rarity replied. “I suggest you head on over to the bath over there.” point over at the tub. “But it’s not filled with oil.” Moss said. “How do we get ourselves-cleaned?” “OIL!? Darling. Oil is for industrial purposes. Why would you want to clean yourselves in something like that?” Moss didn’t want to argue with Rarity, besides he just wanted to get clean, and he was waterproof so the water wouldn’t hurt him. He just hoped that the water would be enough. “Well, if you want, we can just go in.” Moss asked. “You’ll need to go in anyways, if you try it that least. It's not bad at all.” Moss walked up to the tub. The water did look nice. “You sure this is a good idea?” Klam said. “Well, we are waterproof, so it won’t hurt us.” both Moss and Klam hopped in in the tub. It was a weird feeling, but in a nice way. Brute and the other droid were a little hesitant but hopped in anyways. “This isn’t so bad.” Klam said. “See, there you go darlings. Now I will be in the Steam room. But Aloe will be by your side if you need anything.” Rarity said before heading to the steam room. The droids just sat in the tub hoping that this would clean them. “You need to put the soap in first” “Alright. We're here.” Applejack said to the droid group pointing at the train station. “Where? I cannot see this Location since you put me in this bag. The Tactical droid complained being locked in a bag that applejack was carrying on her back. “Well, I don’t want you to scare any pony from seeing a talking head. Your machine buddies already could scare some ponies for not having limbs.” Applejack told him. “Even so. We are machines. We shouldn’t give anyone a scare. We were never programmed to do that.” Applejack didn’t like the droid talking in such a strange way. “Location? Programmed? These guys are much stranger than I thought.” Applejack told herself. As they were waiting for the train to come by many ponies looked at the droid group with surprise, never seeing such tall things before. One filly when right up to a B1 unit with a missing left arm. The filly was holding a box of cookies in his mouth. Holding it up to the droid. “Oh. Thanks!” the B1 said pick up a cookie before patting the head of the filly. The filly giggled before running back to his parents. “That was nice. But what is this?” the B1 said looking at the Cookie. “How do you not know what a cookie is?” Applejack said. “Huh. It looks like a transfer disc.” another B1 with a missing right hand said. “What transfers disc. Those are inefficient.” The Tactical droid said. “Sh! Keep your yap quiet.” Applejack told the droid hoping no one heard him in her bag. Luckly the train arrived just in time for them to get on before more ponies came up to them. Applejack and the droid group headed onto the train. There were lots of ponies on the train. They all stared at Applejack and the group of droids as they found places to sit down. One B2 with part of his left arm missing and only having the shoulder sat down near a mother and her child. The filly looked up at the B2 with wide eyes as the B2 turned to the filly’s direction. ‘What do you want?” the B2 said in his deep voice. The mother then grabbed her filly close to her and scooted and inch away from the B2. “Now that was refreshing.” Rarity said has she and the droids came out of the spa. The droids were all clean from any muck that was on them before, Moss felt great after the clean. He could feel all his joints moving smoothly and his head felt like it was just adjusted. “I feel right out of the assembly line.” Moss said gladly. Rarity then turned to Moss. “That’s why you asked about oil.” “Well...yeah.” Moss replied, “Even then it still felt great.” “See I told you darling.” she said happily. “Now I don’t know if you saw it, but Twilight came over to tell me to bring you back to the Castle.” “Oh really? Why?” Moss asked, “We’ll find out at the castle.” she replied. As they headed over to the castle the town looked dead, but Moss took the guess that they were inside their houses because of a coming storm. Moss didn’t like the rain. It always happens in the rainforest and when it doesn’t it was only for a few moments. When they got to the castle it was dark inside before the lights were turned on “SUPRISE!” an entire group of ponies shouted. The 4 B1’s jump scared with one of them falling over. The 3 B2’s were about to lift their weapons, but Brute realized they were the town ponies and got the other 2 to put down their weapons. “Happy welcome!” Pinkie Pie came up to the group Excitingly. “We had a Suprise party set up just for you guys.” she said happily. Moss had never seen her this happy before. He would have said something before when he saw Twilight’s Pinkie Pie, but he thought it would be weird to say something that wouldn’t make sense to her. He still wanted to be thankful for it. “This place looks much different now.” he said. “Of course, silly. Every pony came to the party!” Pinkie Pie said as she grabbed Moss and brought him over to a table filled with different types of treats. “What would you like? We've got Cupcakes, cookies, punch, and more!” Moss felt bad that he couldn’t eat food since he wasn’t organic. But he wanted to be nice. “Sure. I will take one of those Cupcakes.” Moss said. “Oke Doke!” She said before handing Moss a Cupcake and then hopping happily away. “But sir. You're not organic.” Klam asked, “I know, I’m just being nice.” Moss replied. He needed to do something with the cupcake since he couldn’t just hold it in his hands. He then saw a grey Pegasus with yellow hair chomping on some cupcakes so moss when over to her. “Hey. You want this?” “Oh sure! Thanks stranger.” Pegasus said before continuing to eat the cupcakes. With that out of the way he could enjoy the party that was made for him and the droids. He saw the rest of the droids split up and some talking to some ponies. He knew everything would go well. The train stopped with a loud screech from its gears before coming to a halt. As Applejack and the droids got off the train many ponies were starting to look at her and the group. She was starting to get uncomfortable with all this attention. “Let's pick up the pace before we're surrounded by every pony.” Applejack Told the droids “They will not be a problem. I will have the droids prepared to attack when needed.” The Tactical droid said. “NO!” Applejack shouted, but this caused more ponies to look in her direction. “Can you not please. We don’t want any pony getting hurt.” she whispered into the bags where the droid was. “I’m programmed to assist in battle with any available troops.” “Enough with your program hooligan things. It’s not helping one bit.” Apple explained to the droid. “If you so wish. Organics can sometimes be annoyed by someone.” Applejack got the first part, but really didn’t like how the droid was trying to be the smart one in this situation. After a little bit Applejack finally found the blacksmith place with a sign saying Bill’s Blacksmith Shop. “Finally. This must be the place.” she said gladly. “I don’t like this place.” A B1 with a missing left leg said. “We’ve been made in a factory before. How could you fear a metal shop?” another B1 one with a missing right leg said. “don’t tell me you don’t know what a blacksmith is too.” The droids look at her. “Sorry sir.” “I’m a mare!” Applejack shouted at the B1. “Ok... mare. Sir?” the B1 couldn’t tell that a mare meant madam. As she was going to bend her head in Frustration a door opened behind her. As she turned around, she saw a Stallion with a camo green coat and a brown mane staring with wide eyes. “You ok partner?” The camo green pony looked at applejack. “I never seen things like these before. Are they from a village in the mountains?” Author's Note Didn't even try to finish this one. and that wraps up my not very well written story. hope you enjoyed it.
