Episode 22: More Than Meets the Eye

Flashback:

Red Alert Fortress, MechSteel State, 1455 A.E.

"We're under attacked!"

There was a mass of large explosion at the Red Alert Fortress. The fortress was destroyed, with blazing flames fanning out. Most of Metal Mystic Ponies were killed at the area. Some survivors and injured ponies struggled to move and escape. They all got gunned down and stabbed by more of Mecha Ponies and Griffon Jetfighters. Dragoon Tankers were firing and destroying the villages and residents to pieces. The army was led by Sevenstrike, MechaInfinite and Sixshot. They're determined not to let anyone alive.

Inside the destruction site of laboratory, there was a young Tailtech lying down on the ground while trapped by a large metallic cupboard. He groaned in pain as he slowly recovered. He then found more of scientists and technician were killed and burnt to death. He even found himself trapped. He screamed in anger and frustration as he struggled to get out from the cupboard.

Suddenly, he then heard some moaning noise. Tailtech looked up and found someone on the ground as well. He was an adult orange unicorn with amber colored mane and tail with red and orange streaks, his cutie mark is blue bow-tie and spectacles. He grunted and groaned in pain as he struggled to move or even tried to crawl as well. He looked up and stared at the innocent eyes of Tailtech.

"Dad..." Tailtech asked in fear and pain.

Tailtech's father smiled weakly, "Everything will be alright... Everything will be alright, kiddo. I promise..."

And just before Tailtech could do anything, he heard some stomping noise and metal clanking around. He looked up and found Machine Dragoon, who was coming towards them. His father is in the monster's way. Tailtech screamed in anger as he struggle to escape the cupboard while watching the monster was about to step. He took one last look at his father's weak smile. Machine Dragoon stepped on him to death.

Tailtech gasped before screamed, "Daaaaaaaaadddddddddddd!"

Shorty's Workshop, Ponyville, Present,

Tailtech gasped in shock as he woke up at once. He got up and stood straight. He panted heavily. He then looked around as he found himself in his bedroom, which was filled with toys, flying jets and planes, and also some science and machine books, television and radio, and even cupboard. He groaned in pain while rubbing his eyes.

"Damn it..." Tailtech said in frustration and upset, "Another nightmare..."

Despite it was just nightmare, Tailtech felt like that he didn't want to go bed. He gritted his teeth in anger. He can't forget the event nor forgive what Machine Dragoon has done to his home and father. As long he still around, the fox-pony will never rest. He knows what to do.

Tailtech got off from his bed as he headed off to the garage. He turned on the lights. He placed the giant blueprint against the walls. It shown the picture and measurement of Tyrannosaurus Rex-like armed with giant claws, futuristic blue metal wings-like and drill-like tail. He sighed firmly while looking at it.

"Alright, let's do it," Tailtech said firmly. He grabbed and took some tools. He began constructing and building his project, "I'll get you. I'll get you. I know it!"

While Tailtech was busy working on his project, he wasn't aware that Icy is eavesdropping and spying on him behind the garage's entrance door. She sighed, "Tailtech..."


Aztec Temple, Tenochtitlan Basin, Present,

After previous adventure at Somnambula Village, Daring Do continued her usual adventure and securing some ancient relics from being abused and sold for higher bidders. And at the same time, she will do her best to make sure that she won't destroy ponies' property and items. If she did, she's willing to pay for the mess. And of course, promise to her number one fan - Rainbow Dash, she would continued writing the novel about her and her adventures.

Now, both Daring Do and her newly scientist - Nicole Lynx have arrived at the Aztec Temple. They both approached and climbed up the stairs to the entrance.

"Thanks for coming, Lynx," Daring Do said in relief, "And of course, you kept our little secret."

Nicole smiled, "It was my pleasure to help the Daring Do again. So, why do you need me here? Have you found something interesting?"

Daring Do smiled, "Yes, I do. This temple housed an ancient but also very rare relic - Stone of Regeneration. It is said that this relic can help powering, re-energize and upgrading the machines, electrical items and even Metal Ponies. Think about it. This could help change the world."

Nicole hummed thoughtfully, "Indeed, it does. Let's find it." She squealed happily, "I can't wait to study it."

"Trust me, you will," Daring Do said confidently. She and Nicole has arrived on top of Aztec Temple. They stood before the entrance, "This is it. There could be traps and monster guardian. Ready?"

Nicole nodded, "Ready!"

Daring Do took a deep breath before release it. She then opened the temple's door. And at the same time, Nicole lighted up the torch. As they marched in at once, they felt something unusual and shocking. They found the floor and several metallic ponies-like statues. They even found some traps have been set yet were covered in metals.

"What the hell?" Daring Do asked in shock and concern.

"What is this?" Nicole said in concern as she approached to the statue. She touched it carefully. She felt the statue is more metal than naturally hardened clay. She gasped, "They're made of metals. I didn't think ancient civilization are capable of doing that."

"I don't think they did," Daring Do said in concern. She then looked at the obvious traps, which also covered in metal. She hummed, "The traps has been set. No sign of monster guardian. Someone did come here already." She gasped in concern. She approached to the large Ahuizotl-like statue sitting on his throne chair, where she found something on his palm. She hummed as she looked at it carefully, "This must be where the ancient relic should be. They must have took it away and escaped..."

"Sweet Celestia..." Nicole said in concern. Daring Do turned and looked at her. She used the life tracker device-like, which was pointing at couple of metal statues. The device was blinking and glowing in red before it faded off. She quivered in shock and fear, along with her eyes widened, "These statues... They're not really statues. They're ponies! They were alive!"

"What?! How?!"

"I don't know. Something must have done to them. What could have done this"

"More like who did it," Daring Do asked in concern.

Nicole noticed shiny on the ground. She found the trail to metal, which led her down the stairs and to the forest. She commented, "Odd. How come we didn't notice the trail? Where could it lead us to?"

"We'll soon find out," Daring Do said calmly. She hissed as she took the paper and quill out, "I've gotta get Rainbow and her friends here now. They might know something about it."

Daring Do began writing down on scroll. Nicole readied her Gem Blaster as she's keeping the adventurous archaeologist safe from harm. They will soon have to leave and track down on the mysterious enemy. Who did to the Aztec Ponies? And why? What is he after?


Ponyville Town Outskirt, Present,

A large group of Metal Ponies have gathered on the outskirt. They all stood before a large coffin-like, which contained a rusted form of large Armorhide the Metal Dragon resting on it. Most of Metal Ponies were crying and moaning tearfully, due to their Guardian has passed away. It has served and protected them for generations.

Shorty, Rarity, Rainbow, Icy and even Tailtech were there. They represented Ponyville Town for giving the condolences to the Metal Ponies. Their friends were far away to deal with some problems from the Equestria. Metalgear was giving mournful funeral speech about Armorhide the Metal Dragon for being their only guardian to defend them and repel their enemies.

However, Tailtech was staring at Armorhide the Metal Dragon's corpse like he sees something special about it. His eyes was filled with determined yet fierce and anger. And he then heard some fainted screams and cries in his head. As if being reminded from his past, he can't get it off. He has one thing in his mind. And he must do it for his father and other ponies. Revenge...

Shorty shook Tailtech a bit, "You okay, Tailtech?"

Tailtech got snapped back to reality. He turned and nodded calmly, "Yeah, I'm okay. No worries at all." He turned back to look at Armorhide the Metal Dragon's corpse. He asked, "Why are we doing this again?"

Shorty sighed, "I know it's hard for you to be part of Metal Ponies, but please, be respectful and compassionate. We're here to pay our respect and condolence to their fallen guardian. It's similar to Master Zhao Long. Everyone pay their respects to him for sacrificing his life to bring Icy back to life."

"Whatever," Tailtech remarked in anger, "It's different. They're machines while we're flesh and blood."

"Tailtech... These are living sentient. They have freewill and intellect to think and do what they wanted. They and us are not so different."

"I don't believe it..."


Flashback:

Red Alert Fortress, MechSteel State, 1452 A.E.,

Inside the science lab, Tailtech was looking for his father across the hallway. He then arrived at the meeting chamber, and entered it. He found his father and group of scientists were discussing as they were looking at the projector's screening the blueprint of a large mechanism dragon-like.

"So, what do you think, Dr. Goldblum?" Scientist #1 asked, "We should add something special to him."

Dr. Goldblum shook his head, "That would be a bad idea. I don't think we should do it."

"But Dr. Goldblum, we haven't even tested it yet," Scientist #2 said in concern.

Scientist #3 nodded, "We should do it. We should give him to have the artificial intelligent. That would make him more intelligent and aware of situation. It would be a good benefit to Mystic Realm."

"Yes, think about the success we have made. Think about Metal Ponies," Scientist #1 said calmly, "We'd never imagine that our Metal Terraformer device that make more metals would create them alive. Turning them into Metal Ponies. And it's amazing results!"

"Yes, it was. But we can't take that chances. Do you wanna know why?" Dr. Goldblum said firmly. Everyone looked uncertain and concern He continued, "We don't know what else they're capable or how advance and intelligent they can be. Or a better question - are they rebelling their creators or allies. No one knows for sure. And not to mention, we destroy that Terraformer, making sure no one tried to steal and create another living metal monsters to be their servants. If that happens, then we're extinct. Trust me on this."

Scientist #2 gasped, "But Dr. Goldblum-!"

"Screw that shit of yours, genius! I don't give the damn," Dr. Goldblum said firmly and angrily. He turned and tear the blueprint, involving of artificial intelligent mechanism. He rebuffed, "We're not gonna build that hunk of junk! Metal Ponies are enough with their own A.I.s and better pray that they're not turned into villains. If I see anyone tried to do it behind my back, you'd better hope that my charms doesn't turn into greenish monster with bad temper. Got it?"

Most of the scientists were annoyed and disappointed by Dr. Goldblum's answer. Nevertheless, they all respected his decision and concerns.

"Daddy?" Tailtech called.

Dr. Goldblum looked surprise as he turned and looked at Tailtech, "Kiddo? What are you doing here?" He approached and held his son's shoulders, "Daddy is very busy with his work."

Tailtech sighed, "Sorry, dad. I didn't mean to disturb you. I was waiting for you at my bedroom."

"Bedtime Story already?" Dr. Goldblum asked in surprise. Tailtech nodded. He sighed before shown a smile, "You know what? I need a break from this bullcrap." He grabbed and held his son over his back. He smiled at him, "I'll read the story to you."

Tailtech nodded, "Okay. Thanks, daddy!"

While Dr. Goldblum and Tailtech were leaving the lab, he turned and gave the glare and gesturing 'I'm keeping an eye on you' at couple of scientists. They all nodded fearfully and worried that they won't try to backstabbed at him when doing his project. Both of them left the science lab.

Flashback Ends


Ponyville Town Outskirt, Present,

"Tailtech! Tailtech!" Shorty's voice shouted, making Tailtech snapped from his memories. He turned and looked at him. He asked, "Did you hear what I've just said?"

"What?" Tailtech asked in confusion.

Shorty sighed, "We're leaving now. The funeral is over already."

"It is?" Tailtech asked in surprise. He looked around and found most of Metal Ponies and Ponyville Town Ponies have left the funeral. And the only ponies remained behind are himself, Shorty and Icy. He even saw a large tombstone for Armorhide the Metal Dragon. He laughed uneasily, "Right. It is..."

"Well, we should get going now. We've got some work to do now," Shorty said firmly. Tailtech nodded in agreement while looking at the tombstone. He sighed as he has the bad feeling of what his little assistant is gonna do next. He spoke, "Don't you dare think about it, Tailtech. We will not disturb Metal Ponies Guardian's resting place. Do you understand?"

"What? Me?" Tailtech asked in 'surprise' and 'shock', "What makes you say that?"

Shorty narrowed his eyes and glared at him, "I mean it, Tailtech. Don't do something stupid or even making some stupid racism attitude and remarks towards the Metal Ponies. The last thing you want is getting into trouble."

Icy nodded, "Shorty's right. It's a very serious. Please, don't do something stupid."

"Don't worry, I won't do it," Tailtech said calmly before showing his innocent smile, "I promised."

Shorty and Icy weren't unconvinced by Tailtech's promise, but they don't want to be suspicious and against him since he's their friend. They nodded and left at once. Tailtech remained behind as he was staring at the tombstone. He secretly smiled as he has some plans for it.


Shorty's Workshop, Ponyville Town, Present,

Next two weeks later, Shorty was repairing some watches. Icy was paying some customers for repairing their damaged items. Both Rarity and Rainbow came to visit and check on them now. Rainbow bragged and talked about her last time adventure with Daring Do, which annoyed the rest of their friends to hear it again and again about how awesome she is and hanging out with her favorite idol.

Suddenly, the ponies heard the door being banged. They turned to the entrance door, where they found worried and panicked Metalgear and his kind.

"Metalgear? What's wrong? Rarity asked.

Metalgear screamed and panicked, "Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! This is bad! Really! Really bad!"

"What is it?" Rainbow demanded, "Spit it out, well ya?"

"Armorhide the Metal Dragon's corpse is missing! Someone has desecrated his grave!" Metalgear exclaimed frantically, "Damn it! Damn it all! Who and why would someone do such a thing?! He doesn't have something valuable for someone to use!"

Hearing what Metalgear has said, Shorty and Icy gasped in shock and worry, "TAILTECH!"

Shorty screamed, "That idiot!"

Shorty stormed off at once with pure anger and fury. The rest of his friends followed him at once. He led them straight to the garage. As they entered the garage, they have found Tailtech was finishing up his work on project. It turned out to be a silver mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex-like with sharped spikes on his head and blue colored diamond armed with twin giant claws, futuristic blue transparent wings-like and drill-like tail.

Everyone gasped in shock and anger of what they just saw. They all couldn't believe that he really did it. Metal Ponies were purely fierce and rage of what they just saw.

Sensing someone behind him, Tailtech turned and found his friends were there, "Oh! Hey guys!" He climbed down the ladder. He met up with them. He smiled, "You've found out about my work! How do you like it?"

"What on earth is that?!" Rarity asked in shock and concern.

"Is that T-Chaos or T-Rex?" Rainbow asked fearfully before shaking her head, "Wait a minute, T-Chaos wears skull helmet. But still what is that?"

Tailtech smirked, "I'm glad you asked. Behold, the DRAKEBOT - 'Dragoon, Armored, Kombatic, Emergency Robot! He's the perfect weaponized warrior for combats against any giant monsters. His armor is made of both Mystic Metal and some Transformanium. And of course, I added some little details and abilities to it as well. His claws and mouth can be used for firing his Lighting Blasts. Legs are made with jet's rocket boosters, with the help of his wing to fly. His back has a large massive cannon to fire its powerful Solar Cannon. And of course, his tail can be used as drilling anything and even monsters to pieces!" He sighed, "The best masterpiece I ever done in my life. My real accomplishment!"

His friends were in deep shock and concern of what they just saw and listened. They never thought that Tailtech is capable of making dangerous weapon.

"Speechless? I know," Tailtech bragged proudly, "You're all impressed and happy about it."

"Tailtech, please tell me that you didn't get it from the Armorhide's corpse," Shorty asked in concern and fear. Tailtech nodded proudly. Shocked and angered, his face has turned into red, "TAILTECH! You little rotten brat! Have you lost your mind?!"

"How could you be so inconsiderate to do such a thing?!" Icy demanded in shock.

Rarity nodded, "Indeed, darling! Armorhide is Metal Ponies' Guardians! He has the right to rest in peace!"

"Yeah. We can't just dig the grave and use his metal for your project!" Rainbow snapped in anger.

"So, he's just a stupid machine," Tailtech commented arrogantly.

Everyone gasped in shock and concern before , "Tailtech!"

"What? I'm telling you the truth," Tailtech said firmly, "They don't have a soul and heart. They don't considerate of anything or anyone. After all, they're just stupid machines."

Everyone has again gasped in shock and concern. Metal Ponies were in shock and angered. Tailtech is racism against their kind.

"Stupid... Machines?!" Metalgear asked in anger and fury. Tailtech nodded firmly. He screamed in anger, "You will regret those words you have against us!"

And just before Tailtech could react, Metalgear charged and rammed him out of the garage. They all thrown straight to the middle of market street. As they both recovered from the ground, they turned and attacked each other fiercely and wildly for few times. Ponies came and gathered around to cheer wildly for 'fight'.


Flashback:

Red Alert Fortress, MechSteel State, 1453 A.E.

In his office, Dr. Goldblum was filing his documents and pictures into file. He then turned his attention to his war machine blueprint as he was trying to figure out of what to add in. He then heard the door was opened. He found Tailtech entered it. To his surprise and concern, he saw his son was bruised especially his eye was covered in blue-black mark and lost some teeth when he smiled weakly.

"Great Mother of Wisdom!" Dr. Goldblum gasped in shock and concern while getting up from his seat. He approached to his son while looking and analyzing his condition carefully, "Tailtech, what happen?"

Tailtech sighed, "I picked a fight with the bullies."

Dr. Goldblum was annoyed and disappointed. As much as he wanted to scold his son for being reckless and aggressive to pick a fight, he decided to ignore it. He helped treated his son's wound by putting some cream and oilment. Both of them haven't spoken a word ever since then.

"Wanna tell me what's going on?" Dr. Goldblum asked dryly yet calmly.

"The bullies did this to me. They've insulted and make fun of me, dad. They told me off that I didn't do anything during the battle. They even said that I'm not even a real hero but sidekick. And the worst is that I'm worst." Tailtech said in anger yet sad while crying out, "I hate it. I really hate it."

Dr. Goldblum sighed, "Oh, kiddo..."

"It's not fair! It's not fair! I'm the son of famous Dr. Glodblum for making the best of machines and inventions, and even telling the story about life. I'm now a hero and part of Dragon Strike Force!" Tailtech snapped anrgily while crying tearfully, "Why can't these ponies respect and treat me as a hero. Why?!"

"The bullies are very complicated ponies," Dr. Goldblum said calmly, "Because they don't want to understand, befriend us or even try to get to know more about us. They think of us very different from them. So, they chose to bully us."

"Why won't they just talk and admit it to us?"

"They're jealous and sad ponies because of who you are and where you come from. They want to find a way to make themselves better. So, they bullied you to show the world that you're nothing like me or anyone else. They wanna you show the world that you're the loser."

"Maybe they're right, dad."

"No, they're wrong, son." Dr. Goldblum said firmly, which surprised his son. He continued, "You can show them that you can be better as me. No. Be better than me."

"Better than you?" Tailtech asked in shock and concern.

Dr. Goldblum smiled, "Yes, Tailtech. Be better than me. I know you can, kiddo."

"You really think so?" Tailtech asked hopefully.

Dr. Goldblum nodded, "Yes. But you must remember this. When you set target on something, you must know and have your limits, or else, there will be consequences. Don't take the risk or even try to fight it, unless you really know what you're doing. Got it?"

Tailtech was touched as he smiled happily while hugging his father, "Got it, dad!"

Flashback Ends


Market Street, Ponyville Town, Present,

Shorty and his friends made their way to the market street. They found Metalgear and Tailtech continued wrestling and attacking each other relentlessly and wildly until one of them give up. Unable to let their friends continued their fight with each other, they charged in to stop them. Shorty and Rarity pulled Metalgear while Rainbow and Icy held Tailtech back, though both sides still wanted to fight.

Rainbow shouted, "Break it up! What's wrong with you, Tailtech?!"

"This isn't like you," Rarity said in concern.

"What's wrong with me?!" Tailtech demanded in fury, "Don't you all get it?! We can't have some robot roaming around and do anything they want!"

Metalgear groaned, "I am android! I will not stand idly by to let you insult me!"

Pushing his friends aside, Tailtech readied his Typhoon Blaster, "I dare you to try, you monster!"

"I dare you!" Metalgear exclaimed as he readied his Mega Buster Cannons and kicked his allies off.

"ENOUGH!" Shorty shouted in anger while glaring at both Tailtech and Metalgear, who stopped and glared at him. He continued, "Both of you need timeout now! Tailtech, you're grounded! Metalgear, return to Castle of Friendship at once!"

"Uh guys..." Icy said in concern. She pointed at Tailtech's flank. Everyone turned and looked at his flank, which his cutie mark was glowing and blinking. They were in shock and surprise. She gulped, "Timeout needs to wait."

Rainbow gasped, "The map is calling!"

"The Elemental Element is summoning you, Tailtech," Rarity said in surprise, "We have to go to Castle of Friendship at once!"

Tailtech groaned, "Great... Now, I have to walk with piece of junk!"

"Say that again!" Metalgear snapped in fury.

"Just go, will you?!" Shorty snapped in anger, "Icy, go with them. The fight is over, everyone!"

Tailtech and Metalgear muttered in frustration as they headed off to Castle of Friendship. Icy followed them as she has to make sure that they didn't cause the problems. The rest of ponies grumbled in disappointment and left the scene.

"That was close. But what the heck was that?" Rainbow asked.

Rarity nodded, "I have never seen how angry Tailtech is when it comes with Metal Ponies."

"This is what I fear. I'm worried about Tailtech." Shorty said in concern, "He hasn't been himself since we have produced more of Transformium."

"So, why? What's wrong?" Rarity asked.

Rainbow nodded, "Yeah. He just like invention except the part for stealing and using Armorhide's parts for his projects. That is wrong."

Shorty shook his head, "No. This is very personal especially to him. I fear he might get himself killed..."

"Wanna tell us why so personal?" Rainbow asked in concern.

Rarity nodded, "Why does he hate living machines so much?"

"Because his father was killed by Machine Dragoon," Shorty explained, making Rarity and Rainbow worried and scared. He continued, "It happens after our battle against Orochi, Mystic Councilpony have decided to build their own defense mechanism. His father was in-charge of making new war machines for defending our home. Machine Dragoon is one of them. He's the best war machine we ever had."

"So, wait! His dad created that gigantic machine monster?!" Rainbow asked in shock and confusion.

Rarity looked shock and concern, "I can't believe it..."

"Yes. It is the truth. We don't know how and what cause him to go rogue. Many ponies including Dr. Goldblum got killed," Shorty said in shame and concern, "It's so hard to believe that the greatest defense mechanism could turn one as weapon of mass destruction."

"So, that's why he built Drakebot," Rainbow said in concern. She hummed, "It might not end well."

Rarity nodded, "Indeed. He could hurt himself during the battle."

Shorty nodded, "Which is why we have to keep an eye on him. Let's go now."

"I don't get it one thing." Rainbow asked in concern.

Knowing what her friend was wondering, Rarity asked, "What drove that giant monster mad in the first time?"

Shorty sighed, "No one know. No one... But one thing I'm certain. Someone has infected him with virus to attack MechSteel State."

"I wonder who did it..." Rarity said in concern.

Shorty, Rarity and Rainbow headed off to the Castle of Friendship now...


Jungle, Tenochtitlan Basin, Present,

After sending the mail off, both Daring Do and Nicole followed the trail of metals. They have traveled through jungle, large swamp and also avoiding from getting caught by some traps. Taking them for nearly an hour of travelling, they have arrived to a large mechanical factory-like. They even found some of Mecha Ponies, Dragoon Tankers and Griffon Jetfighters guarding the area. Drones were now marching into factory. They both looked at each other as they nodded firmly. They needed to find out more about it.

Both Daring Do and Nicole sneaked into the factory via using Mecha Ponies' armor bodies and masks. They have managed to fool the Machine Enforcers Army, and also able to enter the factory. They then found and witnessed Drones were building and producing more of Machine Enforcers Army and also strange metallic Seeds. They even more of Temple Guardians were assisting and helping Drones to speed up their project. It scared and worried them a lot. It also make them suspicious about what happen to Aztec Ponies and Guardians.

Suddenly, they heard some chatting noise. They turned to the eastern gate, where Machine Dragoon and Dark Curse emerged from it. They were discussing and chatting. Both Daring Do and Nicole quickly hid behind the computer as they pretended to work on their project. And at the same time, they're eavesdropping on the enemy's conversation as well.

"Do you feel it, Machine Dragoon," Dark Curse asked darkly and calmly, "The Elemental Element is coming now. But no doubt, our enemies will be here to collect it."

Machine Dragoon scoffed darkly, "Foolish attempt they may tried. By my calculation, they will fail their mission. They will not get the Elemental Element while I'm standing here."

"Do not underestimate them, fool. Shredkiller, Akuma and even Crimson Skull have failed to retrieve the Elemental Elements!"

"Analysis have suggested that it was their arrogance, aggressive, ambitious and miscalculation have caused their missions failures! Unlike yours truly, I do not possessed any flaws in my system. In conclusion, I am the perfect candidate to complete this mission."

Dark Curse was skeptical and suspicious, "Can you be certain that you will retrieve the Elemental Element?"

Machine Dragoon snarled, "I will not fail. I will not let anyone interfere my progress especially that runt. None shall stand in my way." He smirked as he shown couple of Seeds out and even has his chest opened in two, "If anything goes wrong, I'll use them as my last resort. I still have Stone of Regeneration keeping me alive. I'll turn them into my machines, just like the temple guardians."

"You'd better hope so, fool," Dark Curse said darkly and angrily, "I expect no failures. Send your troops to find and get the Elemental Element now."

Machine Dragoon nodded firmly. Dark Curse summoned the Dark Portal for him to march and left the factory. The machine general roared wildly as he gave the order to his minions about their latest mission to perform, including Sevenstrike, MechaInfinite and Sixshot. Seeing and hearing enough of it, Daring Do and Nicole quickly sneaked out and made their way back to the temple, hope that their friends will be there now.


Council Chamber, Castle of Friendship, Present,

Shorty, Rarity and Rainbow have arrived and entered the Council Chamber at the Castle of Friendship. Just like before, the Destiny Tablet was glowing and written down in riddles while pinpointing the location - Tenochtitlan Basin.

"What you've got?" Shorty asked.

Icy pointed at the Destiny Tablet, "You should see it by yourself. And I don't think Tailtech is happy about it too."

The ponies looked up and read the Destiny Tablet's riddle carefully:

"Titanium hardened the Skin,

Mercury endured the Danger,

Platinum strengthened the Power,

Yet Rise Above the its Kin,

What gives pure as Gold and Silver?'

"Do riddles make any sense for once?" Rainbow asked in annoyance and frustration.

Rarity shrugged, "Highly unlikely, Rainbow Dash." She turned to Metalgear, "Any luck?"

Metalgear looked and scanned carefully on the tablet's riddle. He then calculated of possible ways to answer the riddle. After minutes of calculation, he sighed in defeat, "Negative. The riddle makes no sense at all..."

"I don't understand." Tailtech exclaimed in frustration while glaring at the Cutie Map, "What do I have to do?! What do you want from me?!"

Icy patted Tailtech, "Please, let us help you!"

"Forget it. He'd never want help since he's just a brat." Metalgear remarked dryly, "I don't know who his parents are. I'm sure they will be shame on him!"

"How dare you talk to me like that?! How dare you?!" Tailtech snapped in anger at Metalgear, "You don't know about my father, at all!"

Metalgear narrowed his eyes in anger, "I don't need to. But how you behaved will be enough to disappoint him to see how fallen his son has!"

Tailtech groaned, "I'm gonna rip you apart, you piece of shit!"

"Enough! Let's focus on the mission now," Shorty said firmly before looked at the map. The tablet was pointing at Tenochtitlan Basin. He hummed, "If that's where the Elemental Element is, we should check it out and get it before the enemies get it. And who knows? We might able to figure the riddle out."

Rainbow nodded, "Yeah. We'd better move out now. Time is wasting."

"I agree." Rarity agreed before looked at Tailtech and Metalgear glared at each other, "I rather not have another fight between our friends again."

Shorty and his friends nodded in agreement. They pushed Tailtech outside before he could pick another fight again with Metalgear. The Metal Pony was following and keeping an eye on fox-like pony, making sure that he's out of his home. Upon exiting the Castle of Friendship, they met up with mailpony Derpy, who passed the mail to Rainbow.

As Rainbow was reading, she gasped in shock and concern, "We'd better get to Aztec Temple now! Daring Do and Nicole need our help now! Machine Dragoon is there!"

"WHAT?! Everyone asked in shock and concern.

Metalgear screamed in concern, "Not my Nicole! Not my Nicole!"

Tailtech shown his dark smirk, "Awesome..."


Aztec Temple, Tenochtitlan Basin, Present,

Daring Do and Nicole were still waiting inside the temple for nearly half-an-hour. They then found the Mystic Portal appeared in front of them. Shorty and his friends; including Rarity, Rainbow, Tailtech, Icy and Metalgear, exited the portal.

"Rainbow Dash/Metalgear!" Daring Do and Nicole exclaimed happily as they approached and hugged their friends for the moment. They departed and shouted happily, "You've made it."

"Of course we did," Rainbow smiled happily

Rarity nodded, "So, what's going on around here?"

Daring Do and Nicole explained the situation to Shorty's Team, who were in shock and concern especially Tailtech looked excited and rage as he was expecting for it.

"This isn't good..." Shorty said in concern, "We have to find and get the Elemental Element now before Machine Dragoon gets it."

"I agree. There is no telling what kind of power he may get," Rarity said in concern.

"What about the temple's guardians?" Rainbow asked in concern, "From what Daring Do has said, these guys have been turning most of them into monsters for slaves and war machines. They could do same thing to us and every pony or creatures."

Daring Do nodded firmly, "Dash got the point. As much as I hate those guardians for trying to kill me or helping Ahuizotl, they don't deserve to be slaves. They're the guardians to keep the artifacts and villages safe."

"If we're gonna rescue them, we have to shut down the factory and destroy all the Seeds," Nicole said firmly and calmly, "And I believe I can reverse the effects. I require Metalgear to assist me to do so. He has the ability to connect himself to the Machine Dragoon's network. We might have the chance."

Metalgear nodded firmly, "I'd be glad to help, with everything I have."

Shorty nodded, "Alright, our mission is clear. We need to split up. Rarity, Nicole and Metalgear will come with me to shut down the factory. Rainbow, you take the team to find the Elemental Element, and remember do not engage Machine Dragoon. Understand?"

"Guys, we have the problem," Icy called in concern, "Tailtech is missing."

"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in shock and concern.

Shorty and his friends looked up and found Tailtech has indeed gone missing. They have the feeling that they know where he went off to now.

"Tailtech, no..." Shorty said in concern.


Jungle, Tenochtitlan Basin, Present...

Machine Dragoon was leading his army and drones through the jungle and swamp, with MechaInfinite and Sevenstrike assisting him. They were searching and hunting down on the Elemental Element. MechaInfinite and his Dragoon Tankers have fired and cut down the jungle trees down. Sevenstrike was looking through some holes, swamp mashes and lake. They have searched high and low to find the Elemental Element.

Even his red vision eyes, Machine Dragoon is unable to find and locate the Elemental Element. It annoyed and frustrated him a lot. He nearly used his Twin Cannons in blowing and destroying the whole area. It scared both his army and drones.

"This is unacceptable!" Machine Dragoon roared in anger, "Why is it so difficult to find and retrieve that stupid Elemental Element?! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't dispose of you all at once for failures?!"

MechaInfinite and Sevenstrike panicked in fear as they bowed down at once. They shouted fearfully, "Please forgive me, my lord! I'm doing my best!"

Machine Dragoon snarled a bit, "We cannot afford to fail now. Find and bring the Elemental Element to me! That is your main priority! Double the effort!" His Machine Enforcer Army nodded fearfully before headed off and continued their mission. He sighed, "This couldn't get any worse..."

SCREAMED! Machine Enforcer Army yelped in shock and confusion. They turned and found Tailtech screamed in anger as he was riding his Drakebot to charge and attacked the minions. Drakebot stopped at once. He stood and readied his weapons before his enemies.

"I've found you, at last!" Tailtech screamed in anger.


Flashback:

Red Alert Fortress, MechSteel State, 1453 A.E.

At the garage, Tailtech was working and building an armored jet-like while looking at the blueprint of his designs for reference and guidance. He worked as hard as he can to make his project worth it. However, it wasn't easy as he thinks. He was alone to handle it. The latest result of his project is that his jet was a messy one. He groaned in annoyance before throwing the wrench at the walls.

"Need some help?" Dr. Goldblum's voice called. Tailtech turned and found him approached him. The fox-pony looked away in shame. He sighed as he sat down and patted his son's head, "There's nothing to be ashamed for asking help."

"But you never did help for once," Tailtech said dryly.

Dr. Goldblum scoffed before laughed a bit, "That's where you're wrong, kiddo." His son looked surprised to look at him. He continued, "I also have problem with my own. I couldn't even get the right parts to build a motor-engine. I thought that it's everyone have to handle it on their project. But there's one guy came and offered me to help, and I accepted it."

"Really?" Tailtech asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Don't push anyone aside for a selfish reason. Let them help you too." Dr. Goldblum said calmly and happily before patted his son's head again, "And most importantly, always know that you're not alone to do project."

Tailtech looked shame and upset about asking for help. He took a deep breathe as he's putting his pride aside. He smiled, "Yeah. I will, daddy."

Flashback Ends...


Jungle, Tenochtitlan Basin, Present,

Tailtech was still piloting Drakebot within its cockpit. He activated its weapon system as Drakebot armed with jaw and claws energizing lightning powers, drill-like tail was activated and spinning wildly for the fight, shoulder pads were readied with energy cannons-like and his wings was activated in transparent form.

Machine Enforcer Army are armed and readied with their blasters. They all readied to engage and attack Tailtech's Drakebot. Machine Dragoon snarled at them to stand down.

"So, the little runt has return to hunt me down again?" Machine Dragoon taunted amusingly, "What a laughable. A prodigal son possessed highly intellect and ability is still acting a child for playing a vengeful hero. Your father didn't die because of me, but you. You killed me."

While still piloting Drakebot, Tailtech snarled in anger, "I'm gonna tear you apart, you bastard!"

"I would like to see you try..." Machine Dragoon said amusingly. His eyes then glowed in red, "And you're still making same mistakes as before."

Suddenly, Drakebot's eyes glowed in red before roared wildly and angrily. It shocked and scared Tailtech of what he just saw. The Tyrannosaur Rex-like machine shook and stomped wildly as it was trying to shake and get him off from the cockpit. He held tightly on his seat as hard as he can for the moment. Unfortunately, Drakebot gave a powerful shake, which thrown him to the ground hard.

Tailtech groaned in pain as he struggled to stand up. He then looked up and found enemies surrounded and aimed their blasters at him. His Drakebot also aimed and snarled at him as well.

"No... No..." Tailtech said in shock and upset, "H-How? I built some firewalls and Antivirus for the infection. How could his penetrated and infected Drakebot?! That's not possible."

Machine Dragoon smirked, "Have you forgotten, child? I am the virus. I cannot be stopped or blocked by some firewalls. I am the perfect war machine! I am invincible and most powerful Demon General among my own clan." He readied his Twin Cannons at Tailtech, "It's over now. I'll send you to reunite with your father once and for all..."

Tailtech hissed in anger as he looked down in shame and upset. He was ready for his death. Machine Dragoon was about to blow him up. Rainbow Dash swooped in and saved Tailtech in time. Icy used her Ice Beam to freeze up on Machine Dragoon and his minions. They regrouped with Daring Do.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Tailtech demanded in shock.

"Saving your life, genius," Rainbow scolded Tailtech, "And you shouldn't have run off like that! You could have been killed."

Daring Do nodded, "Rainbow was right. You could have get killed." She gasped upon seeing Machine Dragoon and his minions freed themselves from their icy prison. They all roared and snarled wildly and angrily. She gulped, "Aw nuts!"

"I had to," Tailtech said angrily as he loaded up his Typhoon Blaster, "He killed my father! I hate that monster! I hate him! I will have my revenge! So, stay out of the way!"

Icy gasped as she held her friend, "Tailtech, no! Stop it! Stop it!"

"Get out of my way!" Tailtech snapped angrily as he pushed Icy aside.

Tailtech screamed in anger as he charged while firing his Typhoon Blaster at the Machine Enforcer Army. And at the same time, he also dodged and avoided the attacks from his enemies as well.

"Damn it. I always thought movie scientists are always nuts, but not this kind of nuts," Rainbow said in concern.

"Come on, Tailtech needs us now! He can't do it alone," Icy shouted in concern.

Daring Do nodded, "Yeah. He'd be killed if he acted this way." She smirked while looking at Rainbow, "Remind you of anything?"

Rainbow smirked, "Yeah. Our first meeting. Let's do this!"

Three ponies charged and joined the battle with Tailtech. They all charged and battled against the large army of Machine Enforcer Army while charging straight at Machine Dragoon, who was guarded by Drakebot, MechaInfinite and Sevenstrike.


Machine Factory, Tenochtitlan Basin, Present,

Using their Mecha Ponies' armors as disguises, Shorty and his team have managed to infiltrated the factory. They then searched through hallways as they were searching for power core while evading the enemies' detecting them. Taking for few minutes, they have found and entered the power core chamber. As they were about to approach and access the computer, Sixshot and his army of Griffon Jetfighters appeared from the hidden areas. They all armed and readied with their blasters and missile launchers.

"Did you honestly think we would left the power core unguarded?" Sixshot asked darkly and amusingly, "How amusing."

"I knew this was too easy..." Shorty remarked dryly.

"Nothing has been easy," Rarity remarked dryly, "I hate epic adventure..."

"Either way, we need to shut down the power core!" Shorty said firmly, "Nicole and Metalgear shut the factory down! We'll hold them off!"

Nicole and Metalgear nodded, "Understood!"

And just before Sixshot and his army could do anything, Shorty used and activated the smoke bombs, which blinded their enemies. Both him and Rarity fired their Flame Volley Blaster Diamond Gatling Blaster at Sixshot and his soldiers. And at the same time, Nicole and Metalgear headed off to the power core control, where the Metal Pony attached his wire to it while his friend began typing down on the power core.

Noticing what his enemies are doing, Sixshot and some of his minions were about to attack them. But luckily, Metalgear retaliated and fired back at them. And at the same time, Shorty and Rarity quickly come to their air by combining and firing their blasters in forming a powerful laser beam in blasting and knocking most of them out. Sixshot managed to recover as he continued leading the assault against them.

Shorty and Rarity covered each other's backs while firing and blasting at the enemies off. They also dealt with Sixshot, who flew very fast while accurately fired his laser beams and missiles at them. They dodged the attacks and hid behind the crates and walls before firing back at him. Metalgear continued firing back at Griffon Jetfighters while combated them off. And at the same time, Nicole was using the Metal Pony's connection to bypass power core's firewalls as she was trying to deactivate and set self-destruct on the factory. They have succeeded.

Hearing the factory's self-destruct alarm, Griffon Jetfighters panicked and fled the scene. Sixshot was angered and fury of failing again. He flew off at once. Shorty and his team regrouped at once. He used his teleporter device to teleport them to escape the factory. It exploded into pieces. The factory is destroyed.

Shorty and his team reappeared on the swamp area. Rarity gave him the glare while he shrugged innocently.

Rarity groaned, "You owe me a bath, mister Shorty 'Wally' Thinking!"

"Sorry," Shorty apologized sheepishly, "At least, the factory is dealt with. We should go and assist Tailtech and others."

Nicole nodded, "We should. And I fear that Machine Dragoon possessed the Stone of Regeneration! They might not have the chance to defeat him!"

Metalgear groaned, "Terrific..."


Tailtech and his team were still battling with Machine Dragoon and his army. Tailtech was engaging with Machine Dragoon, who was relentlessly and wildly attacking him. Drakebot roared wildly as he was attacking Rainbow, who was dodging the attacks while fighting back. Icy was battling with MechaInfinite, who was firing his missiles and lasers at him. Daring Do and Sevenstrike were battling relentlessly against each other for few times. And at the same time, they also were battling and repelling the Machine Enforcers Army.

MechaInfinite fired the barrage of missiles and lasers. Icy summoned Walls of Ice to block and hold the attacks. He charged and rammed through the walls. He then swung and struck his claws at Icy. She quickly dodged the attacks, with the help of her skating and Frozen Shards at him. He was unharmed as he continued striking claws and firing at her. She retaliated and struck back at him.

Daring Do and Sevenstrike fought each other fiercely and determinedly, and also dodged and blocked the attacks as well. Rainbow was battling with Drakebot, who fired his Solar Cannon and Lightning Blasts at her for few times. She dodged and evaded the attacks as quickly as she can while striking and swinging her Mystical Magic Spear at him, but he doesn't felt hurt at all. Nevertheless, she continued fighting off Drakebot.

Tailtech armed and readied his Typhoon Blaster. He's aiming it at Machine Dragoon, who also readied his Twin Cannons.

"I'm gonna destroy you," Tailtech said firmly, "This is for my father, monster!"

Machine Dragoon smirked darkly, "Come and face me, runt. You don't stand a chance!"

Tailtech screamed in anger as he fired his Typhoon Blaster at Machine Dragoon, who doesn't feel the blasts hitting him at all. And not to mention, his body was healed by Stone of Regeneration, which was stored within his body. While he continued firing, the mechanical monster roared wildly as he swung and struck his giant claw at him right. He was thrown at the giant rock. He got hit very hard. He groaned in pain. He struggled to get up.

"Time to send you to hell with your father," Machine Dragoon said darkly as his Twin Cannons were ready, "Time to finish what I have started!"

"Shit..." Tailtech cursed as he closed his eyes and readied for the attack.

BOOM! After hearing that shot, Tailtech felt no pain in his body. He opened his eyes and found Metalgear was standing in front of him for blocking the attack. However, the Metal Pony looked hurt and pain as his chest got a big shot hole. He groaned in pain as he fell to the ground hard.

"Damn that flawed machine," Machine Dragoon snapped darkly as he readied his Twin Cannons, "I will not miss again!"

BOOM! Machine Dragoon's face got hit. He turned and found Shorty, Rarity and Nicole stood before him. They all armed with their blasters. He roared angrily as he charged and attacked them at once.

"What the-?! Metalgear?!" Tailtech asked in shock and concern. He approached and helped Metalgear, "Why? Why the hell you do it?!"

Metalgear coughed a bit, "Geez. I may have hate you for insulting me and my kind especially desecrated Armorhide's resting place, but I understand what you have been through. Shorty told me about your father." He sighed, "And believe me, I'm really sorry. I do. But don't die for silly revenge..."

Metalgear sighed in pain. His eyes closed down as his whole system was shutting down and also body's colors faded into grayish color. Tailtech couldn't believe of what he has saw and heard. Could he be wrong about Metal Ponies? Are they more than just machines?


Flashback:

Red Alert Fortress, MechSteel State, 1454 A.E.

In the hospital, Tailtech witnessed his father treating couple of wounded Metal Ponies. He was in shock and surprised to see him He has finished his work. They all cheered and chatted happily with him for helping them. He then headed off to meet up with his son. They were about to leave the patient room. He was stopped and visited by Firmtact Waller and Tarkin.

"Oh great. The Queen of All Issues has come to visit me," Dr. Goldblum said dryly, "I'm in deep trouble."

Waller narrowed her angry eyes, "Yes, you are. What are you doing here? Why are you wasting your time helping these machines?"

"I agreed," Tarkin agreed dryly, "You were supposed to finish your project, not fooling around."

"By fooling around means helping those ponies?" Dr. Goldblum asked amusingly.

"They're just machines," Waller said dryly, "Nothing more, nothing less, Dr. Goldblum. They're supposed to work for us, and not to have their own freedom."

Tarkin nodded, "I agreed. Metal Ponies were mistakes of our Metal Terraformers. They were supposed to be metals, not creating life-forms."

"And you know what? Screw your issues. You think Metal Ponies are bad results?" Dr. Goldblum said dryly, "I'd say it's a good result. There's always a reason for the purpose especially Metal Ponies' creation. Life cannot be contained. Life breaks free."

Waller looked suspicious and annoyed, "Are you telling me that machines are better than us?"

Dr. Goldblum narrowed his eyes firmly, "I'm saying 'Life finds a way...'"

"Life finds a way?" Tailtech asked in surprise.

Jungle, Tenochtitlan Basin, Present

"Life? Life finds a way?" Tailtech said in realization. He gasped, "That's it! That's the answer! The answer is 'life'!"

BOOM! Suddenly, a small speck of light flickered and shinned brightly blinding everyone's eyes. They all stopped their fights at once. A sphere with metal symbol glowed in grayish aura as it emerged from the ground. They all were in shock and surprise.

Tailtech gasped, "That's Metal!"

"No! Not the Elemental Element!" Machine Dragoon exclaimed in shock. He roared in anger, "I will not fail my mission! I must retrieve it!"

Machine Dragoon was about to retrieve the Elemental Element. Rainbow quickly unleashed the power of Sonic Rainboom in pushing him back. Daring Do, Nicole and Rarity used a large and long rope while Icy used Ice Beam to freeze the floor, making the giant monster slipped and fell on the ground hard. And just before they could do anything, he quickly fired his Twin Cannons in blowing them off. The rest of Machine Dragoon's minions were about to attack, Shorty thrown some smoke-bombs for blinding their eyes. He was about to take the shot on them, he got slammed down by Machine Dragoon's giant claw.

The Elemental Element of Metal descended and entered Tailtech's body. He glowed in gray colored. Like his friends before him, he can feel the power of Elemental Element. He sighed firmly as he has his body covered in metallic form like armor. He then readied with his Typhoon Blaster. He was facing at Machine Dragoon was about to finish them.

"Bring it on, evil bad guys!" Tailtech said firmly as he fired his Typhoon Blaster at Machine Dragoon, "This is for Metalgear and my dad!"

Tailtech upgraded his Typhoon Blaster into cannon. He then fired and unleashed a powerful blast at Machine Dragoon to the walls hard. He was badly injured now. The gigantic monster roared in anger, ordering his army to attack and engage him. He quickly slammed his hoof on the ground as he summoned the army of Metal Soldiers. They all charged and engaged the enemies at once.

Tailtech was controlling the army of fight off Machine Enforcer Army. He got grabbed and held up by MechaInfinite, who was ready to finish him off. The armored dragon monster got his back shot for few times. He turned around and found Shorty and Rarity were firing their Flame Volley Blaster and Diamond Gatling Blaster. He roared in anger as he was about to attack them. Rainbow charged in while performing a powerful Sonic Rainboom and spinning her spear. Icy fired Ice Beam at Rainbow's spinning Rainbow's Spear Attack. She pierced through MechaInfinite's chest, killing him for good.

Daring Do and Sevenstrike fought each other fiercely and firmly for few times. As she struck her punch, he dodged down to grab and thrown her at the jungle trees. He readied his blasters in ready to finish him off. He looked up and found Nicole charged and kicked him by face. He was defeated.

Drakebot roared wildly and angrily as he fired his Solar Cannon and Lightning Blasts at Shorty and his friends, who quickly dodged the attacks at once. But unfortunately, they all got hit badly and even Metal Soldiers too.

"I think you make him too good," Icy said in concern.

Rainbow nodded, "Yeah. How are we gonna stop him?"

"Giving him something he deserve," Tailtech said firmly. He stood before the Drakebot, which lowered its head before him. He placed his hoof on its head, "I don't know if you really understand anything, but I'm sorry. I'm sorry for digging your parts out and make you into a war machine. And the worst thing I ever did is treating you like a machine. You don't deserve it. You need freedom. Life finds a way..."

Tailtech's hoof glowed brightly as if he was giving a powerful energy in Drakebot. A group of strange blue computerized patterns-like spread across the body. Its eyes slowly turned and revealed bluish eyes. The Drakebot growled softly while looking at him. He bowed humbly before him.

"Useless war machine! You're supposed to destroy him, not fooling around. Finish them off now! That is an order!" Machine Dragoon roared in anger.

Drakebot snarled as he glared at Machine Dragoon, "Never. I take orders from no one! I defend those who valued us as free creature! For freedom!"

Drakebot roared wildly as he unleashed a powerful Dragon Roar at Machine Dragoon, which got his eyes and audio receptive system damaged. He then struck his claws at Machine Dragoon, who struggled to deflect and block the attacks while fighting back at him. After swinging his tail in knocking him off, Drakebot unleashed a powerful Solar Cannon. It has hit and damaged his armor and broke it a large hole. He then grabbed and took the Stone of Regeneration out.

"Curse you..." Machine Dragoon said darkly, "I will return."

Machine Dragoon summoned his Dark Portal for him and his minions including unconscious Sevenstrike and destruction form of MechaInfinite. They all have escaped.

"They've got away," Rainbow said in concern.

"That matters little now. We'll get him next time," Tailtech said firmly. He then approached to Metalgear, "We need to save him now."

Drakebot lowered down the Stone of Regeneration for Tailtech. He placed it on Metalgear's chest, which was slowly healed and restored his power and life. He has come back alive.

"W-What happen? Did we win?" Metalgear asked in surprise.

Tailtech smiled, "We did. We've won and got the Elemental Element." He sighed, "And also, I'm sorry for everything, Metalgear especially desecrating and turning Armorhide into my war machine. But because of what you did, I've realized my mistakes now. Us and you guys are living no matter how different we are."

Metalgear sighed, "I was angry of what you did. But I'm happy that you realized it."

"To make up for the mess I make," Tailtech said calmly before looked at Drakebot, "I've given Drakebot a freewill and duty to be your guardian. And of course, you can keep Stone of Regeneration
as power source and keep you guys alive. Okay with it."

Metalgear smiled, "I'm happy for it. But for Stone of Regeneration should gone for the public for electric use. We'll be fine without it."

"That's the idea," Daring Do said proudly.

Nicole nodded, "Indeed. I'm glad you both finally agree on something."

"So, what change your view, Tailtech?" Icy asked curiously, "Not that I complain about."

Rarity nodded, "I have to agree with her. I thought you hated machines."

"I know. But I remember what my dad has told me. It changed my mind," Tailtech said calmly, "After all, Life finds a way."

Shorty smirked, "What do you know. Dr. Goldblum's famous quote. It really snapped you out of it."

Rainbow smirked, "Yeah. I hate to see the kid being a jerk and racist. That's the last thing we want have for the team."

Tailtech nodded, "I agreed. Thank goodness that my dad's words is still there for me. But I'd never stop until I hunt down that Machine Dragoon and helped some Metal Ponies. That's my promise."
