                Rarity ignored all the screaming and shrieking from people running away as she made her closer and closer to the center of town. Right now there was only one thing running through her mind. She had to get to "Sweetie Belle" before it was too late.

It didn't take her very long to find "Sweetie Belle" but when she did she could easily see that she already had her work cut out for her. Trying to patch things up with her "little sister" wasn't going to be easy but if she didn't at least try she'd never forgive herself.

Sweetie Bot had showed no mercy to anything that she had encountered. Building after building had been destroyed and she was just getting warmed up.

"Sweetie Belle please stop this at once!" Rarity shouted "This isn't you!"

"Do not attempt to stop me sentient life form known as Rarity." Sweetie Bot said "You will only be destroyed."

"Sweetie Belle you have to listen to me!" Rarity said "You and I both know that you'd never do something like this!"

"You don't know me at all!" Sweetie Bot said "No one does! All they see is a robot and they instantly fear me! They will pay for their silent judgements when they are eradicated."

"Sweetie Belle that's not true!" Rarity said "I know a lot of people who don't believe robots are evil. You can't punish everyone for the actions of a select few!"

"You cannot stop me nor can you make me change my mind!" Sweetie Bot said "Now stand down or face my wrath!"

"Do whatever you want to me but I'm not going anywhere." Rarity said "Not until the sister I once knew is back!"

"Then you will be exterminated!" Sweetie Bot shouted "Set phasers to destroy!" She began to build up power for an ulitmate attack. If it was allowed to reach full power Rarity and most of Ponyville would be doomed."

Rarity refused to move, despite the protests of those who were watching her. She continued to plead with Sweetie Belle, begging her not to do it. Nothing was working.

"Super laser 90% charged." Sweetie Bot said. Time was running out, in a matter of seconds it would all be over.

"At this point it's all or nothing!" Rarity thought to herself "I love you Sweetie Belle!" she proclaimed, wrapping her arms around Sweetie Bot and hugging her as tightly as she could. "I always have and always will! Nothing you say or do will ever change that! Even now I still love you! And I know you're there in somewhere so listen up! You've got to fight this! You've got to resist! If you don't you'll destroy the only person who ever truely loved you no matter what!"

Suddenly Sweetie Bot cried out in a non robotic voice "Help me Rarity!"

"Don't give up Sweetie Belle!" Rarity said "You can do it! I believe in you!"

"I...can't...control...myself!" Sweetie Belle said her voice slipping back and forth between robotic and normal. It was obvious that "Sweetie Belle" was trying to take back control from "Sweetie Bot" but "Sweetie Bot" wasn't about to give up so easily.

"You're almost there Sweetie Belle!" Rarity said.

"I...feel it slipping!" Sweetie Belle said.

"I know you can do it!" Rarity said "You're a fighter!"

"It's no use!" Sweetie Belle said her voice starting to slip back into a robotic tone.

"Don't say such things Sweetie Belle!" Rarity said "I can sense you with my magic, and it's telling me that you've almost regained control! You've come so far, don't let it be for naught!"

"Help me, please!" Sweetie Belle pleaded.

"I can't do that Sweetie Belle!" Rarity said "You have to be the one to put a stop to this! You're the only one who can control yourself!"

"Don't leave me Rarity!" Sweetie Belle said.

"I'm right here!" Rarity said "Don't worry, I'm not leaving your side until I know you're back for good!" And she proceeded to hug Sweetie Belle even tighter.

"Sweetie Belle's" eyes started to revert from red to their usual green color. But at times the red began to flare up again. The battle for control was nearing it's end, but only one would walk away victorious. The question now was who would it be? 

No one knew the answer but they all knew the very fate of Equestria would be determined by the outcome of this battle.
