Mega Masters
4. Royal Screwjob
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTension was rising on both sides: at Canterlot, Princess Celestia could eat an entire ten-levels high cake, while
at the Skull Fortress, a clone of Gemini was eating his gloves out for his real self. On the equestrian side, the tension was caused by just thinking what such powerful warriors could do, while on the robotic side, it was caused by not knowing where the portal would have lead. Of course,Spring knew so because he broke the fourth wall's nose, but do you really think they would listen somebody that hit himself with a frying pan sixty times in a row just to fall unconscious?
"I have feelings too, you merciless fat italian writer!"
Oh,shut up for good!
"Hey guys...do you know who is Spring talking with?" asked Gyro,while looking at his 'younger brother',which was talking with the air and gave the middle finger to the sky.
"Somebody that he calls 'the author'. He has been like this for a while now, talking to air and sometimes giving the finger." answered Gemini,rolling his eyes when he saw Magic making disappear Spring's hands.
"Hey! Give me that back!" Shouted an angered Spring which was now chasing the robot magician around.
While someone,like Gyro and Magnet,founded this extremely funny,Gemini simply facepalmed, and made Spring trip when he came close to him, and gave him the finger back. He then pulled Spring's hands out of nowhere and gave them back to him
"Wait a second! How do you know where i hide the things for my tricks?" asked Magic,extremely irritated at the thought of Gemini spoiling yet another of his tricks.
"How many years has it been since you started to show off? Because in all these years,with a little help of my clones, i observed you from every single point of view i could find, replayed all your magic shows until i found a contradiction or an error in them and documented myself with every trick i could find about illusions and tricks, just to find your mistakes and reveal them." explained Gemini,with a victorious smirk on his face,making everyone shut their mouths closed immediately.
"Ready Luna?" asked Celestia to her younger sister,receiving shortly after a nod.
"Sis,i was born ready." said Luna,with an ego bigger than Trixie's and Discord's combined. At that declaration,Celestia rolled her eyes,which made her sister giggle a little.
"OK then. At my three. One...two...THREE!"
At the 'three' both alicorns concentrated all their magic into one point,lifting the dust that was in the area,covering the princesses visual fields. When the dust laid down,both princess could see it...the portal. A purple ring of energy surrounding a yellow doorway to the lands of Equestria. Luna gave a reassuring smile to her sister,which tried to mask her nervousness,doing a terrible job at it.
The silence of the rooftop was broke when,in a flash of light,the portal finally appeared. Gemini,with a smirk on his face (only Wily knows how many smirks on the face this guy has in a day...) made gesture of following him.
"Let's do this,guys!" exclaimed Spring Man,which charged for the portal and tripped over Gyro,which lose balance and tripped over Magnet,creating a chain of events that soon ended up in the robot master rolling into the portal. Before falling into it, however, Gyro explained Spring his personal thoughts on the vent that just happened.
"Spring,you are an ass-"
Even before letting him finish the phrase,however,the robot master all finally fell into the portal,and Gyro's thoughts weren't heard thanks to the other robots screams.
"Luna,are you sure that they are coming? Because i don't see-ARGH!" exclaimed Celestia, all the robot masters falling onto her. After moving them away with her magic,Celestia could get a better look at them,being extremely curios. While her sister checked their designs, Luna send a guard to bring the elements of harmony to the room they opened the portal.
One by one,the robot masters stood up,still shaking their head due to the inter-dimensional trip.
"Agh, my head..." said Gyro,while trying to get a better look at the room he was in: it was surely a luxurious room,because there was a lot of gold and silver. Then he redirected his sight to a...throne. Pretty weird.
"Well,here they are sis." Luna said,completely ignoring the fact that now they all stood up and were trying to recover. Gyro,however turned around,and meet eye with Princess Celestia.When he saw her,Gyro jumped back a little,and shook his head in disbelief.
"Is that...a talking alicorn i'm seeing?" asked Gyro,making everyone stop their activities in the room and starting to watch him. He looked around,a bit confused,and spoke gain.
"Where you all really expecting i would say 'horse'? I also read mythological books, assholes." explained Gyro to the other robots, making them fell embarrassed a little.
"Well...we thought you were going to say 'horse' because they look like an horse in part.." honestly answered Magnet, making Gyro facepalm and sigh a little.
"So you are those "Robot Masters" my sister was talking about?" stepped in Celestia,interrupting the current conversation.
"Why, yes, we are. But,who are you?" asked Magic,while indicating both the royal sisters. The question and the gentleness with which it was asked made the two alicorns smile.
"I'm Princess Luna,princess of the night and mover of the moon, and she is my sister, Princess Celestia, princess of the day and mover of the sun." answered Luna,leaving some of the robot masters quite perplexed.Gemini,which was the intellectual one of the group,stepped in first.
"Wait,did you just said you move the moon and the sun?"
Celestia and Luna shared a giggle,and then answered the robot's question.
"Well,yes,we do. But,before continuing, why you don't introduce yourself?"
At this point,it was the robot masters turn to share a chuckle before answering,like the royal sisters already did. This time,Magic stepped in.
"Well,i am Magic Man,the robot magician. The others are,in order of creation,Gemini Man,the only one of us that can create clones of himself,Magnet Man,which can use powerful magnetic powers, Gyro Man, the flyer of the group, Wind Man,the biggest of us and last but not least,Spring Man, the only one to have a silly design but is able to extend his limb. So,now is my turn to ask something,princesses: why did you convoluted us into yours dimension?"
The sisters looked at each other for a second,before nodding to each other,like they could talk trough telekinesis.
"Well...we would have a job for you-
"Wait,did you say-
*CRASH!*
Magnet's question was interrupted due to the unsupportable sound of glasses shattering,smoke starting to fill the room. However,when the smoke faded away,Magnet now knew they were in trouble:about fifty huge dogs that walked on two legs broke into the room,masks onto their faces and. While everyone lost their cool,including the princesses, Magic and Gemini kept calm,and calmly prepared their weapons.
"And you are...?" asked Gemini,another of his arrogant smirks on his face.
"Bwahahaha! We are the Diamond Dogs! And we're today to steal all of the most valued stuff here in Canterlot and kidnap the princesses,hedgehog head!" exclaimed one of the dogs,explaining their plans to Gemini,which was...gone. The narcissistic robot master disappeared from the room,leaving everyone surprised,except Magic and Spring,which both knew,even without the script,what was going to happen.
"Behind you,imbecile!"
Not even having the time to turn around,the dog was on the floor: Gemini successfully connected a Clothesline on the dog,knocking him out
"Come on! We fought against Rock, for God's sake, and five pairs of overgrown dogs aren't going to stop us!"
"For once you got a good plan,Gemini!" exclaimed Magnet,which was charging with the rest of the group against the dogs.
(For an atmospheric effect,listen to this.)
Gyro charged for two Diamond Dogs,sliding under one of them while decapitating the other with a Gyro Blade, turning the dog into a short-lived fountain of blood.
"Thank god the carpet is red..."
In the meantime, Magic was moving at an incredible speed,sometimes throwing his Magic Card to weaken the opponent,other times throwing his famous "Egg of Doom" to release mechanical birds that would attack the dogs,eating some parts of their skins,sometimes eating a whole limb until they reached the skeleton.
Wind blew them away with is Wind Storm,sending them trough the windows they came from,which was the easiest way to deal with them. Magnet however,was being the most badass one. Due to the fact he couldn't use the Magnet Missile on the dogs,he started doing a 'Battle Royale' of sorts with them, eliminating by not throwing out of the window,but by killing. He always aimed for the head,sometimes pulling off a Superkick onto the dogs's faces,and sometimes it would become so powerful that would kill them instantly.On another occasion,he would bring down five of them together with a Spear, breaking their ribs and killing them by blood loss.
Spring was being also one of the most unexpected ones to pull off something,but he actually did: he attacked the dogs from long distance thanks to his extensible limbs,and sometimes he would trap the dogs into his Wild Coils,making them jump all over the place for a while and then strangle them,without even moving.
In the end there were only two Diamonds Dogs left. One of them was shot trough the heart by the Gemini Laser, while another was let go to refer the dogs the following message,courtesy of Gyro:
"You better don't fuck with us,because if you do,we are sending you home into a bag for corpse.
