Mega Masters

Magic Man and Twilight Sparkle were quietly heading to the former's library for the night. The two of them opted for a secondary and less used path by the ponies,so they wouldn't panic at the sight of the robot. However,our two favorite intellectuals had different thoughts in their mind. Magic was wondering about Twilight's 'assistant' and how big, or dangerous could it be,while Twilight herself was thinking how she was going to explain to Spike the current situation with the magician at her side.

Both of them came back into reality when the library came into sight,leaving Magic kind of surprised.

"Twilight...is that a library a tree, that is also an house?

Twilight giggled a little at the robot's question,and then answered.

"Why,yes it is. Surprised?"

Magic chuckled a little,before recomposing himself and his cool attitude,which was still a mystery for the magenta unicorn.

"Just a little. Napalm Man, one of Gyro's brothers,had a weapon warehouse,which was at the same time a weapon factory, weapon museum, cave, mine and weapon research facility at the same time. Want to know something funny about it? No one except us robot masters and Wily knew. Because it was underground. it was also the same dimension of Sweet Apple Acres. Surprised?"

However,just at the mention of the first three purposes of the building,Twilight's jaw had already hit the ground,and if it could dig to drop deeper in the ground,it would have reached the planet's core.

"How...works...that...duh..."

Magic still keep his cool,but even for a gentleman like him it was becoming hard to suppress the laughter that scene caused. It was really funny,and Twilight's reaction was the best one,with the silver medal going to no other than Concrete and Guts Man. Oh boy, was it funny to see these reactions.

Twilight shortly recomposed herself,and made gesture to following her. After picking up the library's key, hidden under a fake patch of grass, Twilight opened the door,and stepped in. Magic followed her quickly, but was soon greeted by green flamesl. The magician quickly reacted, by crouching just in time so that the fire wouldn't hit him,and prepared the Magic Card.

However,when the creature that tried to attack the robot master became visible,Magic immediately disarmed his weapon,and tried to suppress once more an incredibly powerful laughter. the creature was small,and had a green and purple coloration. It had a tail and had two small fangs. Magic could only sigh in relief,as the description matched the one of a dragon.

"Spike!" Twilight shouted to her small assistant, "Why did you attack him?!"

It looked like the small dragon wasn't going to cooperate, but in the end he talked anyway.

"Because it was holding you prisoner! And by the way,what are you?!"

The magician simply gave a minuscule chuckle,and answered right away.

"If you really want to know, Mr.Spike, i am a robot master. My name is Magic Man,even if friends call me Magic."

Spike raised an eyebrow at how the magician introduced himself,but soon that eyebrow disappeared,and was soon replaced by a look of annoyance.

"Twilight,let's just go upstairs so you can tell me what is going on,alright?"

However, Magic stepped in,and moved in front of Twilight,not letting her move.

"Then i have only one simple question for you," explained Magic,making Spike sigh a little, "why did you attack me?"

Spike hesitated for some moments,moments that seemed like hours,before picking up a nearby glass of water,drinking it all and putting it back on the table he was standing nearby.

"Fine,but i'll only give you that."

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Spike was sitting on the couch,eating some gems and relaxing. Sure,Twilight and the rest of her friends were now at Canterlot, talking with the princesses about something that maybe was so important it would've decided Equestria's destiny, but it couldn't be that bad.

However, his eyes went wide went he saw Twilight approaching the library. she was already back!

His expression turned into one of horror, however,when he saw her being escorted by a strange creature. It wore a silk hat, which was the only thing Spike could see from so far away.

That when he decided.

He would have hided behind something big enough,so when the creature would have entered,Spike would have attacked hit with his flames. He only had do wait,and the unicorn that he considered a sister to him would have been safe again

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Silence fell over the library,even if everyone minds were full of activity. Magic's was trying to suppress any laughter, and in case of emergency to turn off the speakers, while Twilight would have facehoofed. Really hard.

"...That is it? Or are you hiding something?" Magic asked,making the dragon jerk on place. However,before things could get bad, Twilight stepped in.

"I'm going to talk about it with Spike." explained the unicorn, "In the meantime, i think it would be best if you stayed here and searched for some books."

After receiving a nod from the magician Twilight quickly went upstairs with Spike, leaving Magic alone.

'Finally, some calm after the storm...'

Magic looked around the room, searching for a book that had the equestrian alphabet in it, and soon found the book he needed

"Equestrian writing and grammar? Well, Twilight will not mind if i check the book."

Magic grabbed it and opened it, and he soon noticed something. it was written in the Serif font, a font commonly used back on Earth. That did not really matter, as he soon finded what he needed. A comparison between the normal alphabet and the equestrian one. He soon proceeded to write the data onto his memory, and in a matter of a few seconds, Magic had learned equestrian.

And so, he began to read. Usually, the bigger the book, the better it was, but smaller books of minimum 100 pages were OK.

"Interesting... Equestria really is a completely different place. So many species, so many spells... this is going to be a long journey indeed."

He was interrupted, however, by Spike. the small, purple dragon had walked downstairs, where the robot magician was.

Silence filled the air for a few moments, before Spike finally talked.

"...Look, i'm sorry for what happened. But Twilight to me is my whole family. My mother, my sister... everything."

Magic, however, gave him a reassuring look.

"I know how you feel. I had six brothers, and only two of them were sane enough. Funny, how both of them disappeared and now i have four idiots as brothers."

"Wait, really?" Asked Spike, earning a nod from the magician.

"If you want details, go ask Twilight, she knows the story."

And so, the purple dragon ran back upstairs, going to ask Twilight many questions. Magic resumed to read, before stopping on a certain part of the book.

"Changelings... horrible creatures that can take the form of any pony. Their only nutriment are emotions, especially love. Strange, i though that it would be more detailed, like the chapter about the griffins. Maybe it's something that i should remember to show Twilight, who knows what she might know."

The magician put down the book, and looked at the clock on the wall. it was starting to get late, and the sun would have started to go down, replaced by the moon. Time really flew away for Magic, and he didn't even store into his memory ten books.

He then noticed an owl, sitting on his perch. magic decided to walk closer to the bird. The owl however, opened his eyes when Magic got close enough, and started right into his robotic eyes.

' Let me see if this owl is Twilight's. If it is, then he should be smarter than normal animals."

"Hi, my name is Magic Man."

"Who." Replied the owl.

"Magic Man. Twilight's guest."

"Who." repeated the owl, starting to annoy Magic Man. However, the robot soon turned around when he heard someone giggle behind him. It was Twilight.

"You fell victim to him, uh? It's not the first time it happened. Normally, only Fluttershy speaks to Owlowiscious. And yes, it is a really hard name to pronounce, but aleast it keeps me trained."

Magic would have almost had a reboot of the system when he heard the owl's name. But he had one question for the lavender unicorn.

"Twilight, last night you asked me about my serial number. But now, i ask you what is that mark on your flank."

"Oh, that? It's called a cutie mark. A pony earns it when he finds his special talent. Mine, for example, shows that i'm good at magic, while Fluttershy's shows that she can communicate with animals."

Magic seemed really interested by the argument, but Twilight's yawning made him notice how late it was.

"Well, if you wish to talk about it, we will talk about it tomorrow. Oh, and by the way, the mayor wants to meet you, so she can announce you to the other ponies, ok? Goodnight, Magic."

Well, atleast he knew what was he going to do for the morning.
