//------------------------------// // Season 1, Chapter 10: This time we get our cutie marks pt.10 // Story: Armor Fillies // by MarkTheWolfpony //------------------------------// Scootaloo, Sweetie belle, and Imp quickly got there as fast as they can. The robot went a large distance away from them but for Scootaloo, it was nothing. They were neck to neck with robot but they proceeded with caution because one wrong move would result in them being flattened like a pancake. “Scootaloo try to get in between the legs!” Imp requested. “No problemo!” With all her might, she got in between the robot’s legs, only to meet with laser turrets. “OH COME ON!” Sweetie belle shouted. “Why can’t anything be easy!” The turrets began to shoot at fast speeds. Scootaloo quickly reacted and dodged every incoming laser blast. Dodging left and right, its not getting any easier for her as the fire rate got faster and faster. “OK! I think we need to get rid of those laser turrets fast!” Scootaloo could not keep dodging them forever. Imp quickly used his yo-yo and wrapped around the ankle of a leg. He pulled himself to the ankle and began to climb up. But however the turrets began to target him instead. He quickly climbed up, dodging every blast. Soon he started to lose stamina and needed to rest. Luckily he saw an entrance and quickly got to it, entering it before getting the lasers could hit him. The laser turrets soon began to target back at Scootaloo and Sweetie belle. “I got a feeling that he forgot about your request.” Sweetie belle showed how grumpy she was. “I’M GONNA KILL...GAH” The turrets began to fire at them once more. ____________________ Imp breathed very heavily, taking a little break. Once he got his energy back, he went through the air vents. Unfortunately for him, it was very dusty and cramped for a fillyof his size. With that in his way, he couldn’t stand getting dust in his eyes and mouth. He stumbled upon an entrance which he quickly used to get out of there. Needless to say that it was a breath of fresh air for him. He wiped off and spitted out all the dust. “Why doesn't anybody clean the air vents!” He sighed. “I better hurry and rescue Applebloom and stop this stallion from what he is planning.” With no hesitation, he quickly speeds off with no intent of stopping. ____________________ The robot soon took halt once it was near the ocean. Dr.Warp began to set his plan into motion. “Alright girls it's time.” He pretty much teased them while walking to his storage cabinet. He pulled out a gear, holding it with his magic and took it to the machine that was next to the pod. Once he put it in, it turned itself on. An electric wave came out of the machine and lit up the entire wire going all over the lab until it got to the wall. This gave the signal for the robot to stomp on the ocean floor. At the same time, Scootaloo and Sweetie belle were still dodging all the laser blasts until they stopped. The two are very pleased for that to happen. “I’m glad that is over.” Sweetie belle stopped to take a breath. “I’M GONNA KILL HIM FOR LEAVING US HERE!” Scootaloo shouted angrily. After taking a few short breaths, Sweetie belle noticed that the robot is in a one leg stomp position. She went to check it out but they were not alone. A hatch opened from the right leg and out came more robotic stallions. Unicorns to be exact. They sensed her position and they quickly teleported there immediately. Sweetie belle went through the debris of the forest and soon saw that she was by the shores. Scootaloo quickly soon appeared next to here. “Hey what gives!” Scootaloo was all angry while she stomped her hooves. “Sorry about that but I think we might be able to get in while its like this.” Sweetie belle pointed at the leg that was in the ocean. With no hesitation, Scootaloo ran off to it. Only to have a group of robotic unicorns appearing in front of them. “OH COME-” Scootaloo grabbed her out-of-the-way before they strike. “Lets take care of these guys as quickly as possible. We don’t want to keep our friend waiting.” Scootaloo reminded her to keep her in focus. The two got ready to face them. ____________________ Dr. Warp was pleased to see his machine working. The two started to pick on on what it was doing. It seemed that it powered the antenna which made the entire pod glow in electricity. The two started to feel weird. Suddenly Applebloom was the first fall down. Twilight quickly came to her aid and tried to help her up. She wondered what is going on. The look on her face was quickly notice by Warp. “I see that you are very concerned for the little one?” He snickered. “Well she is a young filly so of course she is gonna get her energy drained before you do.” His smile only made twilight more angry that she began blasting the glass. “Oh sorry to say but this glass was made with the strongest materials so blasting it is not a good option. Especially when this machine is draining your power.” With the pod being silent proof, Twilight did not hear a single word and continued to blast the glass. Sweat began to appear on her angry face, indicating that she was reaching her limit but she kept on blasting the pod. Warp nodded his head sideways. “Just keep trying, you won’t be able to break-” He suddenly sensed something. A yo-yo came at him at fast speed but he quickly dodged it before it hit him and instead it hit the glass pod, that managed to make a dent. “Well it seems that you are here.” Out of the shadows, came out Imp. “Well Doc. I think its time I put this scheme of yours to bed.” Imp tried to threaten him but underneath that face, it showed fear which Dr.Warp had noticed. “Oh dear. It seems that you are still afraid little one” He smiled deeply, enjoying the situation at hand. Imp’s face started to look pale. He shaked his head to get himself focus but it only left him open for an attack. A beam of magic headed to him at fast speed, unable to react in time it hit him. It knocked him off the floor, landing on the table full of test tubes. “You see. You are showing a weakness that you are trying to hide. Am I right?” He snickered while he was getting up. He got up to him close and personally, grabbed his neck and began to choke him. “Well at least it shows that you are still a child. I mean after all, this is big job that only adults could handle if there is any that can?” He desperately struggled to get out of his grasp. But he threw him all the way to the glass pod, making the crack a little larger. Twilight couldn't stand seeing the filly get hurt so badly but she herself is getting weaker by the second. But she quickly noticed the crack that was forming on the glass. With the little energy she had, she focused all her strength on that spot. Imp got up quickly but Dr.Warp was in front of him, punching him on the left side of his face. Lying on the ground, he couldn't get himself to stand up. Warp raised both of his front legs, getting ready stomp on him. But a sudden cracking noise soon got his attention, seeing Twilight Sparkle was able to break the glass. Dr.Warp is very surprise by this. Imp takes his chance to strike. He use his yo-yo and did an uppercut, knocking him off of him. Imp took this chance to help out Twilight and Applebloom. “Are you guys okay!?” He quickly got to Twilight before she collapsed. “Please….help Applebloom.” She barely had enough strength to speak. He laid her down on a chair and went to help Applebloom who seemed to be very tired. He grabbed a pill out of his storage side pocket next to his flash bombs and put it in her mouth. He helped her chew and swallow. Once it taken effect, she slowly opened her eyes. “Imp?” She was still recovering her energy but was able to speak clearly. “I’m really glad that you're safe- “ “Boy you are an idiot!” Warp interrupted him mid sentence which caught his attention. But however he saw him with some sort of mechanic machine on his back. It has long robotic arms with white gloves at the end. One of the arms happened to be holding Twilight. “You ignore me which gave me a huge chance to get ready. How I love it when heroes tend to do this.” He laughed as Imp was shivering in terror.
