Rise of the machines

  Twilight, her friends and the princesses walked slowly to the Everfree forest. Twilight knew, that it wasn't going to be easy even for her and the princesses. This earth pony was actually stronger than any of them, because he knew a power, that none of them knew- the science.

• D,d,d, this place is ssscaarry!- Fluttershy was afraid. And she had a reason to be. It was scary enough just to enter the forest on the safest path to Zecora's house, but now, they knew, that after her house, they will walk out of any path, knowing, that a danger certainy awaited.

Soon they reached Zecora's house. When they told her, why they come to her, she answered:

   - I know this story, and it gives me kreeps,

    but to find him you must go too deep,

    the place , were it's only darkness

    to stop the fallen pony's madness!

Zecora's rhymes just frightened them more. Even the princess of the night was now scared.

They walked in the direction that Zecora showed them. She told them, that even she wasn't brave enough to go there. They were slowly entering the darkest part of the forest. There was really no light there. Just bats and owls, scaring the travelers on their every step. They saw not one poisonous snake and not one scorpion. After an hour, they walked in complete darkness, only guided by a gadget, found by Zecora, that belonged to the rebell. And without it, what were they, but lost. It was too dark to fly, it was dark to walk, and because of some mysterious gadget magic was also impossible. After another hour, they got to a small lawn. When they saw it, they decided, that they will stop for a bit and rest on the sunny place, before they return in the darkness. Besides, they continiously fell because of tangles and other nasty plants and  really needed the break.

Luckily, after half an hour, they got out of this part of the forest and got to the other side of the forest. Ther they found another sunny place and decided to make another force-refreshing break. But suddenly, they found, that they aren't alone on this place. An unicorn stood on this lawn and obviously made a picnique. That was strange. This wasn't the populated part of the forest.

• Hello there! What's your name? - greated Twilight the pony.

• LS 3000, nice to meet you!

• Aaa...what? - Rainbow was confused

• Ah, I meant Garden Sprout!

Rainbow Dash looked at the pony really strange. Then she suddenly spoke:

• Nice joke! You're almost as awesome as me!

Twilight first thought, that this may be a trap, but when Dash approved the stranger, this thought got out of her head.

• Oh Celestia, the princesses!- said the pony kneeing.

Celestia, on the other side, continued to suspect the newcomer.

• Hmmm...

• Come on, Princess, it is just a pony, that loves to make picniques!- Twilight said to Celestia.

• Actually, Princess, you've got a reason to fear. He is near, so near to success! And than not even you will be able to stop him!- yelled the unicorn to the princess.

• Catch her!-  yelled Celestia. She was now sure, that it was a trap.

• Too late... PROTOCOL NO 472 ACTIVATED!

The pony suddenly got on fire. After a minute, instead of muscles and bones, they saw wires and pumps. This wasn't a real pony! This was a robot with the shape of a one! They saw, that her eyes were red lamps, her tail- wires. It also got mechanical wings, it's horn was also mechanical. This was obviously not a good robot.

• You all fell in my master's trap!- spoke the robot with metalic voice- You will never get away from here alive!

• Well, monster, I think we are 8 versus 1!- Rarity answered to the mashine.

Then suddenly another 10 robots landed around the travelers.

• More like 8 versus 11! - laughed the first robot, which was their leader- Surrender now and die less violently!

• Never! I will never let my land to a tyran like your master!- Luna was now angry.

• ELIMINATION PROTOCOL ACTIVATED! - the same metallic voice spoke from all the robots.

• That doesn' sound good to mah!- Applejack was getting ready to strike back

Machineguns got out of the robot ponies' hooves, rocket launchers- from their backs.

• Fire! - comanded the leader

They all started firing. Rainbow and Fluttershy flew up while Twilight, Rarity and the princesses were protecting Pinkie and Applejack with a magical shield.

• Twilight, this shield won't last much longer! On my mark get Pinkie and fly!- yelled Celestia

• Yes, princess!

• 3...2...1... NOW!

Celestia got Applejack, Twilight got Pinkie and they both got up.

• Luna, there is no time to be a hero! Come here now!

The princess of the Night was still trying to hold the shield. When she heard her sister, she casted a spell. Soon the whole area was covered in dark mist. Luna flew triumphing from it.

• They will never get out of there!

Suddenly the robots got out of the mist.

• You fools! You'll never beat us and our night vision! - taunted the leader at them- Now prepare to die!

The machineguns started firing. Twilight closed her eyes. A second. 2, 3... Why wasn't anypony dead? She opened her eyes.

That was the thing that she certainly didn't expect. The machineguns were covered in chewing gum. They were shooting all their bullets in it. Nearby Doscord slowly chewed and made baloons with the gum.

• What? Can't I chew my gum wherever I want?- said he. It didn't take long before everpony bursted out from laugh.

• Discord.... You are the best! - sayed Celestia laughing.

The gum from Discord's gum baloons got on the robots. It appeared, that they have problems with it.

• EXTREME TEMPERATURES! SELF-DESTRUCTION MODE ACTIVATED!- spoke the metallic voice from all of them.

• Look out!- yelled Twilight.

Discord cracked with fingers. All the robots turned to chilly peppers. He ate them. Everypony heard a bang from his stomache.

• That's what I call hot!- said Discord, while smoke was getting out of his ears.

Everypony had no choice but to laugh out loud again.

• OK, that's nice, but we still have a rebell to catch! - said Luna, who first turned serious again.

• Yes, right. Let's...( Celestia bursted again)...go!
