The robot masters and the princesses were discussing right now: after the battle, which demonstrated that they were efficient, Luna and Celestia started to talk about why they called the robot masters to Equestria.

"So, allow me to get this straight" spoke Magic,taking a second to relax, "You want us to protect the 'elements of harmony' from a dark force that is coming to Equestria, while living our lives like any other day, staying in the little city of 'Ponyville'?"

"Yes,that would be the plan. Also,if you accept,i would like that you didn't tell them the truth about this new foe...we still don't know anything about it,so revealing to them that there someone more powerful than us would be quite shocking." explained Luna,earning a slow nod of approval from Magic,which after some seconds to reflect,spoke again.

"We accept"

A chores of 'WHAT?!' came from the others robot masters,except Spring, which looked relaxed, like knowing what was going to happen. The outsiders started to talk between them, stopping after a minute or so, letting Gemini speak for the 'masses'

"Magic, we want to hear reasons that explain why we should accept." Gemini said,his now natural smirk replaced by a serious face. Magic simply shook his head,and after clearing his troath, gave to the other robots reasons.

"Just...think about it: Wily won't be able to come here,and Metal gave us the authorization to stay if we were given a job to do. We are going to be free from that madman, and we could start our lives like everyone else. Admit it, nobody really had a reason to defeat Rock, except the second army. Gemini and Magnet are even half-brothers to him." explained Magic bringing up some aspects no one considered.

"Just how me and Magnet are half-brothers to the blue pest?" asked Gemini,surprised to hear something new about Rock.

"Wily did not tell you? He build the third army while collaborating with Dr.Light, and the former wasn't able to retrieve you because Wily had escaped with everyone that time. This means that the whole third army is half a Light Number."

Gemini was shocked: his own creator...or half-creator, if what Magic said was the truth,didn't told him the truth. Heck,he didn't even bother telling his army the truth. He simply didn't knew how to feel: angered, sad, depressed, furious... there were lot of things going trough Gemini mind at the moment.

"You see,that is way we should stay here: to run away from that madman like King,Tengu Man and Astro Man did. Who is with me?" asked Magic,hoping that everybody wouldn't be that stupid to listen only to Wily,and at least that they had some free will.

The robot masters began to talk again,leaving Gemini out of it due to the fact that he was still locked up in his thoughts.

In the end, Magnet spoke for the group,replacing his brother.

"We accept, Magic. And personally i think that you're right about Wily. He was,he is,and he is always going to be a douche bag."

Princess Celestia then gave a radiant smile before telling a guard to bring in the elements. However,she was still worried about Gemini condition,because he didn't seem to recover, and having to replace him at the last moment would be pretty unfortunate...

"Princess" stepped in Magic,which looked like the group leader by now "Allow me to deal with him."

Said so,Magic cleaned his gloves a little,before slapping Gemini in the face. A slap so powerful that almost made the smaller robot lose balance.

"OW! What the hell,Magic?!" exclaimed Gemini,which was still touching his cheek.

The door then  slowly opened,revealing six mares,each with different...i think they are called 'manestyle',and different colors.

However,when they saw the state of the room they were in,they froze were they where standing.

blood was all over the place,with numerous diamond dogs body lying on the ground:some of them seemed like they were just sleeping, while others where skeletons with their skins still on. A few of them had an hole trough the chest,while on a table sat a dog's decapitated head. Fluttershy fell unconscious to the floor,followed pretty soon by Rarity,which was screaming something like 'the horror' while fainting melodramatically. The other mares simply had their eyes wide open,and soon locked them on the Robot Masters. However, before things got too much out of hand,Celestia stepped in.

"My little ponies,i think you should sit down and listen to me before doing anything."

A dark figure kept galloping fast paced in the shadows,never stopping at anything she saw. It looked like she was searching something...and then she found it:a little rock,glowing purple,which emanated skulls from it.

Pure dark energy was lying right in front of her,like if it wanted to say 'absorb me'. The figure waited no time,and absorbed it all inside herself in a few seconds,making the rock stop her unnatural glowing. She then started to gallop again,searching for more of the new, powerful essence she found.

The time was to come. Just a pair of months,and her revenge will be started and completed in one night. A night all of Equestria will remember, because there is going to be nothing but night if she succeeds.

"I'm coming,my subjects..."

After the introductions and the explainations, the robot masters and the bearers of the elements were discussing on what they were doing in Equestria.

"So,they are going to stay into our homes for a while,at least until they don't build their own,and are here to learn the true meaning of friendship?" Twilight asked,receiving a nod from the princesses and the robot masters. "...Well,OK then. Some of us will still have to get over about the massacre that just happened,but that's secondary."

"I think i have a question" Rainbow said,while raising her hoof,then receiving a nod from and Celestia and lowered it.

"Who chooses to stay with who?"

"Now this is the million bucks question..." Magnet said,while making himself more comfortable. "I think i have an idea: we,robot masters,are going to choose who we want to stay with,and the element we choose will accept or deny."

"Hmm..." Twilight started to think, letting every single gear that composes her brain work. "I think it's reasonable,and also a good choice,so we will do his way."

Rainbow Dash immediately took off from the chair and flew until she face face to face with Gyro.

"Well,they said that you gotta choose,but...i challenge you! Let's see how good you are, Gyro punk!"

Gyro simply chuckled,accepting the challenge the cyan pegasus gave him,and wanting to teach her a lesson for good.

"You don't know how freakin' fast i am,don't you? I'm in."

Rarity,in the meantime,had already recovered,and right now was talking with Gemini,about something that both were really interested in...gems.

"Well,Gemini,darling,i think i can let you crush at Carousel Boutique for a while,if i really have to..."

"Oh Miss Rarity, you are too kind..."

Gyro wanted to be able to vomit right now, because he felt like he needed to: two narcissists, both lovers of gem and aiming to perfection, in the same building? That would be the worst thing in the world, even worse than the love triangle the Twilight saga is.

"if you want to have some fun,why the fuck don't you go into a private room? You two make me want to vomit."

Gyro said, disgusted by Gemini and Rarity's actions. Of course, the two took the insult personally,but then retired into their rooms for the upcoming night,knowing it would be useless to argue with an hothead like him.

"Well, that leaves only three, since i think i'm going to be with AJ."  Magnet said,being sure of staying with the cowmare.

"Are ya sure,Magnet? Ah mean,ah own a farm,ah have a business ah gotta take care of with mah brother..."

Magnet simply chuckled a bit at that last statement,obviously regaining himself shortly after.

"Are you kidding me? Working will distract me from a lot of things, including hurting Gyro because of his laziness."

And so the two walked away,leaving only three ponies and three robot masters in the room...and when i meant three, i meant two,since Pinkie Pie and Spring had disappeared a while ago.

"Well, that leaves us..." Twilight said,trying to find the best robot that could crash at her home...before seeing Wind trying to comfort poor Fluttershy, which was still shocked by what had happened. The unicorn smiled,turning her attention to the robot magician.

"So,i think i will be the one that is going to stay with you,Twilight Sparkle?" asked Magic,receiving a nod of confirmation from the lavender unicorn.

In the end,everybody leaved the room,and found themselves sleeping a few minutes after they entered their rooms.

However, four figures, four experts of magic and tricks were still awake,and right now were walking around the castle,each of them with a particular destination settled in their minds.
