“Can I help yo-“ Jasper faltered. A pair of robots sat at the door. He still hadn’t recovered from yesterday’s fright with Psycho and Cassius, and now there were two brand new terrifying robots at the doors now. The one on the right looked like a mini bulldozer, with a shovel at the front and what looked like a diamond tipped axe hiding in its back. The other looking like a cross between a hedgehog and a crab, with huge metal pincers and a fearsome looking saw blade. Jasper barely had time to think before the bladed robot spoke up.
“Hi there,” he greeted, waving its right pincer like a hand, “Im Dead Metal, and this is Shunt. May we come in?”
“Sure…” Jasper said slowly, not wanting to make a big deal out of things like yesterday, and opened the door. If Psycho and Cassius were friendly maybe these two were cool too.
“Misty!” Dead Metal called at a high pitch.
“Over here boys!” A blue unicorn called from the other side of the tearoom. The two drove over.
“Hello Misty, how are ya?” Shunt asked as he trundled over.
“I’m fine,” Misty replied, “Alphabittle’s gone out for some more supplies, so I’m just kinda chilling.”
“As you do,” Shunt commented, backing behind Misty’s table with Dead Metal.
“About that,” Shunt inquired. “What did happen with that alicorn you were talking about?”
“Opaline?” Misty asked.
“That’s the one,” Shunt confirmed, thrusting his axe in the air like a hand.
“Yeah, she was a really corrupt villain,” Misty began. “She kidnapped me when I was a filly. At first she treated me fine, but when magic came back to equestria, she bake more and more mean and short fused as her hunger for magic grew.”
“Well, we’re all ears, entertain us,” Shunt urged, thrusting his front shovel as if to urge Misty on like a hand.
Misty spent the next five minutes recalling recent events around Equestria. She mentioned Opaline’s defeat aswell as her time spent with the fire alicorn, all the high and lows she experienced. “Yeah, it was sad I couldn’t help her,” she lamented.
“So she’s not really dead, she’s just trapped right?” Dead Metal asked.
“Funny you’re the one who asked that,” Shunt commented.
“We don’t really know,” Misty explained, “If she doesn’t have to eat I can assume she is.”
“So maybe one day you can have a go at redeeming her?” Dead Metal enquired.
“Maybe yeah,” Misty said, “But I don’t think I’d want her to be a loving mother to me. I’d rather let her do her own thing, she’d be better with other ponies she gets along better with rather than with myself.”
“Quick question, did you ever tell Alphabittle about the whole kidnapping thing?” Dead Metal inquired.
“No,” Misty replied, “What he doesn’t know can’t hurt him.”
“Well surely you’d want somebody else to know about all that?” Shunt asked.
“I have the other ponies for that,” Misty explained. “There’s Sun-“
“Wait wait, don’t tell me, I’ve memorised them,” Dead Metal claimed, putting his claws on his head trying to remember. “Uuuuuhhh… SunScout?”
“Sunny Starscout,” Misty corrected.
“Right right,” Dead Metal replied, “Uhh, Hitch right?”
“Yes Hitch.”
“Okay, and Zips and Pips?”
“Zipp and Pipp.”
“Yeah Zipp and Pipp. Also, Uhh, Izzy Moonbeam?”
“Moonbow, but yes Izzy.”
“Okay, good.” Dead Metal finished, hoping he could better memorise their names in the future if he needed to.
“Anyway, how has life been at the Brighthouse?” Shunt inquired, again.
“It’s been alright,” Misty replied. “It’s certainly better than Opaline’s dark and spooky castle.”
“The castles a tree now right?” Dead Metal asked.
“Yes it is,” Misty replied, “It opened a portal to starlight ridge.”
“Yeah, and you met the aurora unicorns there.” Shunt said.
“The auroricorns, that’s right,” Misty confirmed.
“Yeah and one of them followed you home,” Dead Metal fangirled, “Comet right? Isn’t that him over there?”
Dead Metal pointed with his right pincer across the room, extending his neck as he did, to a blue unicorn with pentagon glasses across the room.
“Yeah that’s him,” Misty replied. They hadn’t gotten Comet’s attention, but it didn’t matter.
“You know something Misty,” Dead Metal declared, “Your a real good one to be around. I mean you’re funny, kind, your mane looks beautiful, you know I really struggle to believe there’s people out there that actually hate you.”
“Huh?” Misty asked.
“It’s nothing you need to worry about,” Dead Metal replied, “Just people getting too angry over something unimportant.”
“Oh okay,” Misty said.
“Another thing,” Shunt inquired, for the third time that day. “You said Spike is king of the dragon lords. But I’ve heard this other dragon called ‘Ember’ was apparently the Lord. What’s up with that?”
“From what I heard,” Misty explained, “Spike became the dragon lord through the gauntlet of fire, but he passed the role onto Ember since he didn’t fancy doing it at the time. But after Ember died during a battle years later, Spike reassumed the throne since he felt he could then. But then of course his race were put to sleep for centuries.”
“I see,” Shunt remarked, “And how was he put to sleep?”
“Opaline,” Misty replied bluntly.
“Riiight…” Shunt finished.
“We’ll Shunt, think it’s about time we hit the road,” Dead Metal declared.
“Hmm? Oh yes, of course,” Shunt replied, “Places to go sights to see, can’t spend all of our time here.”
“I can come with you,” Misty offered, “I know my way around here. Kinda.”
“Yeah sure, you can tag along,” Dead Metal replied, “Do you know the way to ‘mane melody’?”
“Yeah it’s in maretime bay,” Misty said, “Come with me boys.”
And with that, Misty headed to the door with Dead Metal and Shunt behind her.
