Statistics obtained from Kirby said that Manehattan was the Equestrian counterpart of New York City, and its name is a play on Manhattan. A metropolis such as this would be paradise for robots like us.

I was about to explore this amazing area, but Roborygon pulled me into an alley. "We're going to stand out if we continue like this. I'll provide a disguise. Engaging ponification module." His antenna glowed and surrounded us in some sort of exoskeleton. Upon visual analysis, I determined that Roborygon had turned into his Bright Fountain alter ego, and that I had taken on the form of a light green Earth pony with a blue mane and irises, my signature backwards purple cap, and a red, metal backpack. "What would you like your pony alter ego to be named?"

I answered, "I'd like this dude to be called Throw Dynamo!"

"An excellent name for a yo-yo user."

"I know, but where is my yo-yo? I'm not myself without it!" Almost as if in response, my backpack opened up, and a metal arm came out holding my yo-yo, which was still ablaze. "Sweet! Now I can use my yo-yo and do other things at the same time, yo!"

"Now, where do you want to go first? Do you want to do something that will test your intellect or test your physical abilities?"

"That depends. What do you have in mind for testing such capabilities?"

"There is this escape room that offers these puzzles and riddles that lead to a key to escape, and there is also an ice-skating rink. There are many other activities, but those are the ones I would choose between."

"I'd do the rink, but my yo-yo might melt the ice. Can you help with that, bro?"

"Sure, Throw. Get your yo-yo ready!"

I held my yo-yo in the air, and Bright hit it with an ice beam, covering it in ice. "Now I've got a Blizzard Yo-Yo! Thanks, bro!"

"That's what I do. Now, let's go find that skating rink!"

When we reached the rink, it was kinda barren, except for a few ponies. That meant I had plenty of room to try out my skating skills! I thrust my yo-yo under my feet--er, hooves--adding ice blades to the bottom of them. Instant ice skates! Bright and I did some cool ice-skating tricks involving my yo-yo, and we completely dominated the rink, yo!

Suddenly, Bright's horn gave off rhythmic sparks. It was Morse code, the universal language for robots! Bright said, "We've got a problem with the villains. We need a way to recognize each other before it's too late."

"Recognize each other? The shapeshifter must be planning to transform into Kirby or his friends to trick us! I suggest a chant or something like Twilight and Cadance do."

"Excellent idea, Throw. I'll contact Kirby and the others to tell them our plan."
