Chapter 63: Little Giants


"Subject, number four dash zero-zero-zero-one's roboticization, is complete..." the robots stated in their monotone voice. JetStream took a step back.

"That's what Knuckles described...!" he looked toward the throne room as he had an urgency to tell Twilight, but that would give him away obviously. JetStream looked back to notice the robots are coming his way, he covered behind the wall again as he frantically looked left and right, "Oh no." he was able to recall the scene where he dimmed his Aura so he wouldn't be caught out of the hotel in Canterlot by his parents, "I have no choice..." he waited as his Aura dimmed. His inhales were smooth and silent, but his exhales were rippled and audible, it's the fear that was driving him into doing this, the fear of being caught right now would be bad, or anytime would be at this very moment. His thinking went completely silent as the robots turned the corner, hearing and seeing each step made JetStream wish they'd walk a little faster. But luckily they did catch him. And as soon as they turned the other corner, JetStream went around as fast as he could, he tried to get as much distance as he could from the corner. After a good distance he ended up running into the machine's controls, as soon as he hit the controls, the machine sent a shock through JetStream as it wasn't meant to be shook. JetStream opened and closed his mouth because it suddenly felt numb, a little later he started rubbing his hoofs on his cheeks, "Ow..." it wasn't much of a shock, but it did something. It took him a little bit to realize, but he sat next to Celestia, who of course is roboticized, seeing her like that gave JetStream a shiver down his spine, he stopped moving his hoofs and stood back up. He looked up, Celestia was seen whiteish-pink yet covered with a silver shine. As time passed, he got more courage to finally say anything, as if he was meeting her for the first time all over again, "C-C-Celestia...?" Celestia didn't move an inch, she just stood their, ominously, as if frozen because of the oxygen. JetStream sighed before he looked over to the controls once again, "Hmm..." he pondered curiously. JetStream walked near Celestia so he could get around her, but as soon as he passed directly in front of her, her robotic right arm shot up so quickly, it knocked the wind out of JetStream, making him bounce back onto the floor. After a second passed so he would get the air a normal pony body desired, he got back up and walked the other way around, "I guess I'll go this way then..." he has never felt like that, choking on something you can't see with almost nothing to counteract it. As soon as he was able to see the big arrangement of the button before him, he quickly looked over to the entrance from the throne room, "..." he went over the platform to stand with it, he looked over the whole thing. He couldn't understand much of what he saw, it was either shortened words or acronyms of words that would take almost a millennium to guess, he brang his left hoof up to his chin and sighed, "They talk our language and yet read completely different..." he suddenly heard the stomping sound of the robots on the rise, "Oh, shoot... uh..." without hesitation, a soft laser was shot from the eye and hit the wall with an audible zap. The robots unfortunately heard it as well.

"... Unauthorized fire... Proceed with caution..." as soon as the robots entered the room, JetStream quickly ducked behind the panel.

'Please don't find me please don't find me!' he could start trembling at any moment.

"Unknown Movement detected... Search the area..." JetStream sighed.

"Oh great-" he held his own mouth shut. He listened carefully as the Doppler effect took its work into effect, 'I'll jump over this thing when they get onto this side of the room...' he felt like he couldn't wait any longer, 'Nonono, don't hesitate, just wait...' like he thought before maybe it'd be better if they had a higher walk speed. At this point was the most intense, the robots finally passed the control panel horizontally, 'Just a tiny bit more...' his escape was just a jiffy away. JetStream got a cold wave go down his spine again, 'Go!' he grit his teeth and jumped over the panel, as he used the platform to leap off, the robots noticed and turned. But by the time JetStream had already galloped to the exit of the room and turned the corner. He stopped as he was finally able to get a breather. But it was only time as he decided to check on Twilight, but as soon as he looked around the corner, "Oh no..."
