Scootaloo returned to the balcony, this time activating the watch. She twisted the dial a few times, before stopping on a tall and pointy shadowy figure. She took one last look at the attacking robot with her original eyes, before pushing the dial down, engulfing the balcony in a neon green light.
Scootaloo rose up her left forehoof, watching as the watch was engulfed in blue crystals which spread across her body rapidly. Her forehooves turned into crystal hands and arms, while her hind legs turned into feet and longer legs. Two large crystal shards sprung from her back, followed by her mane and tail getting encased in crystal. Scootaloo's head became more pointy, eyes becoming pure yellow, standing out against the turquoise crystals. Her entire body was wrapped in a bodysuit which was divided into two different colored sides, one being orange while the other was purple. The hourglass symbol appeared on the left side of her chest, shimmering silver.
The green light faded, exposing what Scootaloo had transformed into. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle both gaped in awe at the sight in front of them.
"Wow, Rarity would have a field day on you. You're completely made of diamond!" Sweetie Belle pointed out.
"Let's hope i'm as sharp as one." Scootaloo replied, before jumping off the balcony and onto the street below, quickly taking off in a sprint towards the attacking robot.
Several ponies ran for their lives, screaming in panic as the robot fired energy beams at them, missing only by a single mane length. One mint green unicorn grabbed a wheel that had fallen off of a wagon and chucked it at the robot, only to watch as the wheel shattered on impact, showing so signs of damaging it.
The robot was about to fire another laser, when a fruit stand collided with its arm, cutting off the gathering energy. Everypony including the robot turned to face the direction that the fruit stand had been thrown from, only to see a bipedal crystal creature standing in the middle of the street.
"How about you pick on someone your own size." The creature said.
The robot aimed its hand, firing a beam of energy which struck the ground where the creature had originally been standing. The creature ran towards the robot, smacking its crystal fists against its legs. Some punches managed to dent the leg, but nothing that could do any real damage.
The robot retaliated by kicking the creature, who was sent soaring through the air and into a building, causing it to cave in onto it.
The robot fired another blast of energy at the destroyed house, sending debris flying through the air. The creature struggled to get up, when it did it was hit by another blast of energy, sending it crashing into another building.
The creature grunted in pain, rising back up again as it brushed off some chunks of wood that had landed on its shoulders. It dove to the left, avoiding another beam which struck the house it had crashed into. The creature was visibly tiring, narrowly missing another blast of energy. This blast however, was now heading towards two mares and a stallion who had been entranced by the battle.
The three ponies quickly snapped out of it when they noticed the beam of red energy barreling towards them. There wasn't enough time to dodge, so the three braced themselves for the impact, only to hear the sound of the beam colliding with something else.
Everypony stared with wide eyes at the crystal wall that had grown from the ground to protect the three ponies. The crystals seemed unscathed after the blast, slowly lowering back into the ground.
The creature looked just as shocked as everypony else, but seemed to shake it off and rushed towards the robot. The creature rose up another wall of crystal, this wall striking right through one of the robot's legs, causing it to shoot out sparks.
The robot fired a blast at the creature, but the creature dodged it, raising up a crystal platform which it ran up and jumped towards the robot, its fist turning into a what looked like a large blade. The creature shoved its bladed hand into the robot's arm, making even more sparks fly from the machine.
Everypony began cheering for the crystal creature, rooting it on to destroy the robot. The creature seemed to get a boost from the cheering, fighting even more against the robot.
After awhile, the Elements of Harmony finally made it to the scene, ready to kick some robot butt, only to join the spectators in watching in awe as the crystal creature broke the robot piece by piece. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle had also joined the spectators, cheering the loudest out of everypony.
"What is that thing?" Rainbow Dash asked, looking at their animal expert who was a yellow pegasus mare with a pink mane and tail. The pegasus was also hiding behind a wagon, shielding her eyes from the action.
Fluttershy, slowly peaked around the wagon and got a good look at the crystal creature, before retreating back behind the wagon. "I-I have no idea."
"I've never seen anything like that in any book I've read!" Twilight stated, shocking the rest of the elements. Twilight lived in a library when she moved to Ponyville, and even before that, her home was basically a makeshift personal library full of all sorts of books from around Equestria. If she didn't know what it was, then it was definitely strange.
"Ahm not sure what it's think'n but it seems ta be on our side." An orange earth pony mare with a blond mane and tail exclaimed, shifting the brown stetson hat she was wearing on her head.
"I hope so, I want to see if they can give me some of those glamorous diamonds." A white unicorn mare with a sparkling purple mane and tail stated.
"Ooh! And I can throw them a thank you for saving Ponyville from a killer robot party!" The final member of the group, a pink earth pony with a slightly darker shade of pink colored mane and tail exclaimed.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Pinkie, that tin can is still standing." Rainbow Dash pointed out.
"Right, so let's go help them out." Twilight said, igniting her horn in preparation for casting spells.
"Yeah! Let's show this robot who runs the place!"
Scootaloo jumped off of the robot, avoiding a swipe from its other arm. She cartwheeled back onto her feet and rose up another makeshift diamond wall which blocked a blast of red energy. The first time had been an accident, but now, she was getting the hang of it.
Scootaloo was about to charge the robot again, but stopped when she spotted six familiar mares rushing into the fight. She saw Twilight fire a purple blast of raw magic which sliced right through part of the robot's chest.
The robot turned to fire at the unicorn, but was stopped when two well aimed pies were smashed into its eyes, or lenses, whatever it used to see, blocking its vision. The robot tried to remove the pies from its eye pieces, only for its arm to freeze mid air when a lasso wrapped around its hand.
The robot tried to move with its remaining spider like legs, only to fall to the ground due to each one being wrapped together by a large tied ribbon that was being held in a blue aura.
Scootaloo saw the opportunity to finish the robot and rushed towards its still operating head, arms morphing into diamond blades. As she rushed towards the robot to finish the job, she spotted Rainbow Dash flying right beside her, a grin on her face.
Scootaloo couldn't help but grin herself, before jabbing her bladed arms into the robot's head, followed by a massive buck from Rainbow Dash. The robot's head let out one last wave of sparks, before finally losing all its power, defeated.
The cheers from the crowd of ponies watching echoed throughout the town, two voices sticking out from the rest. Scootaloo turned to see Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle jumping with joy, smiles across their faces.
"Greetings, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and I would like to thank you for helping save the town from that robot." Twilight said, her words only barely heard by Scootaloo through the cheering.
Scootaloo looked over to see all the Elements of Harmony standing in front of her, each one showing gratitude on their faces. She had actually fought alongside them, alongside her idol, she'd been a hero.
Twilight said something else, but before Scootaloo could register what she had said, a loud beeping filled her ears. Scootaloo looked down to see the watch's symbol flash red, signalling that she was about to turn back.
Now came a rather big question, should Scootaloo let everypony know it was her, or keep it a secret. Scootaloo didn't know what to decide at that moment, and with time running out, she chose to keep it a secret. Who knows what they'd do if they found out that a filly was in possession of something that could turn her into other creatures.
"I'd love to stay and chat, but i've gotta go." Scootaloo stated, dashing off through the crowd of ponies and ducking into an alleyway right as the watch timed out.
Scootaloo stepped back out of the alleyway, quickly greeted by the Elements, who were searching for her.
"Oh, there you are squirt! Did you happen to see a large crystal looking creature run by here?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Scootaloo looked back and forth between her idol's face, and the watch which was glowing red. Finally, she decided to just wait and tell her later.
"Nope, sorry. But I did see you finish off that robot! That was awesome!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
Rainbow Dash chuckled, before following her friends who had already resumed searching for the crystal creature.
As Scootaloo watched them vanish behind a building, she heard the voices of her friends, who tackled her to the ground in a hug.
"That was amazing!" Sweetie Belle claimed.
"Eeyup! You taught that robot who's 'n charge Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom followed up.
Scootaloo couldn't stop smiling as she glanced over at the watch, which flashed green, signalling that it was recharged.
This Summer was gonna be awesome!
