The elevator stopped, then its doors opened up. The two unicorns walked out, Twilight was holding Pinkie Pie and Trixie was holding Rarity, it was the other way round but after 10 seconds of “Pinkie talk” it pushed Trixie overboard, so in turn they swapped. “So darling. How many of these testing rooms are there?” Rarity asked.
“That’s a good question Rarity. I don’t know, I’m not even sure how deep these place goes underground,” Twilight exclaimed. “I just hope it’s not too many, I have to stop D.I.S.C.O.R.D!” Twilight was lost in thought for a bit. (But there must be some sort of twist. He surely wouldn’t want me to just waltz on in there and grab them if they could stop him.)
“Come on Twilight! Trixie doesn’t like that you’re dozing off so often. We’re on a mission remember?” Trixie was obviously getting impatient. “DON’T YOU IGNORE TRIXIE! ANSWER ME!”
Twilight comes back to Equestria. “Yea well, I personally don’t like how you talk in third pony all the time ok? And besides I’m allowed to think Trixie.” Twilight was getting frustrated but she had a job to do, so she took a deep breath and calmed herself down. “Ok guys. Let’s get going.” They walked through the doors and what they we’re greeted by wasn’t so nice. “Um… I’m not the only one that is seeing this right?” What they were faced with were two massive sliver plates with spikes on the bottom, it was crashing up and down like once every second and to make it worse if they did try to jump and they missed calculated, the ponies would fall into a pit of murky ‘water’.
“Nope. The great and powerful Trixie sees it too.” Trixie and Twilight were both jaw dropped.
“Surely this isn’t the second test. This is just ludicrous.” Twilight was now doubting herself. “I don’t have any idea how to pass that…. Maybe we won’t be able to get those relics at the end.” Twilight’s confidence a determination was getting thrown out the window. But just before giving up… “I KNOW HOW WE CAN DO THIS!” Twilight saw that just in front of the spikes was a cube with one wall taken out so they’d be able to enter. The ponies and cores moved over to it. “Ok listen carefully. I need one of you to stand right in the middle of this room. Ok Rarity you’re first up.”
“Um ok but Twilight what are you doing exactly?” Rarity asks rather nervously. Twilight doesn’t respond but just makes a blue portal directly above Rarity. “Oh… I know exactly what you’re doing… and I DON’T LIKE IT.” At that instant an orange portal appeared right under Rarity, she started to fall vertically and with every passing second she got faster and faster until as soon as a plate just hit the ground and while Rarity was falling Twilight changed the blue portal to the wall behind them. Rarity was sent flying across the room and right under the opening crusher then landed on the floor on the other side, which some sort of purple gel was coming out of a crake the celling. It looked like propulsion gel but instead of speeding up or bouncing around the place, Rarity lightly landed on the ground. “Oh thank Celestia, I thought I’d hit the ground hard but nope it was like landing on a pillar of pillows.”
“Ok, who’s next?” As Twilight said that she had a big grin, as if she enjoyed hurly ponies and cores across the room. Trixie grabbed Pinkie with her magic and placed her where Rarity was.
“Oh would you look at that. Pinkie offered to go next, what a brave core.” It seemed as if Trixie was either scared of going or just wanted the cores over first. “And it’s not that Trixie is scared, Pinkie just offered.” Twilight thought it was defiantly the first option.
“Ok Twilight I’m ready” Pinkie was giggling as she said that, obviously somepony isn’t scared. Twilight did the exact same thing with Pinkie as she did with Rarity, however this time Twilight didn’t wait for Pinkie to pick up as much speed. And whoosh Pinkie was sent flying landing of the soft purple surface.
“Well Trixie it seems it is your turn now.” Twilight said with a blank expression “I’m sure you can walk into position on your on.” Trixie sighed and slowly trotted walked over to the designated place. “Ok Trixie you ready?”
“Umm no… surely there i-is another way to get Trixie over there.” Trixie’s legs were shaking.
“Well yes there is actually two ways. However, I warn you, I can’t say you’ll survive either.”
“Uhh ok what’s the other way?” at that moment Twilight created the portals and Trixie started to fall, then Twilight placed the blue one on the wall for Trixie, she flew across the room and landed on the other side safely but not quietly; Trixie screamed historically the whole time. Twilight then did the procedure on herself, but this time Twilight had memorized the timing of the metal plates so she knew when to launch herself. And just like that Twilight turned her body around and shot at the wall, Twilight flew across the room… on her back. Thank Celestia the gel makes the ground feel soft.
“Ok let’s go” Twilight picked up Pinkie and walked towards the door. But at that point some of the wall panels moved exposing yet another door.
“Ok Twilight Sparkle, Trixie says we should go through that door instead.” Trixie started to trot towards the newly created door.
“No Trixie, we’re going through this one. You came to help ME not the other way round.” Twilight placed a lot more emphasise then what was required.
“Twilight, Trixie is tired of following orders from you. Trixie is going through this door with or without you, and Trixie will find the relics before you Twilight.” Trixie thought making an executive decision would wade Twilights choose in her favour but saying ‘with or without you’ defeats the purpose.
“Fine then, no pony is stopping you. I’m going through this door.” Twilight wasn’t having any of that. Trixie groaned and went through the door she choose. “And good riddens, I was really getting sick of her complaining and talking in third pony. Ok then let’s go.” Luckily Trixie dropped Rarity, so Twilight just picked her up and went to go through the door she choose but it wouldn’t open.
“Well well well. Your new partner didn’t last long now did it?” Twilight recognized that voice instantly. “It appears you can’t open that door, hmm pity. Well if you look to your left you’ll understand why.” And just like that D.I.S.C.O.R.D’s voice disappeared. Twilight however turned to her left and saw a big red button.
“Oh so I just stand on that and the door opens huh?” Twilight ran towards that button and stood on it, and just like that the door opened. “Well that was easy…” as soon as she stepped off the door closed. “ARGH, of course it’s not that easy.” Twilight looked around the room and saw a cube in the corner, Twilight walked over to it, picked it up and placed it down on the button, and just like that the door opened and remained open. Twilight picked up the two cores again and went through the door but a grid or elevator wasn’t behind it a room with boxes and radios all over the place. Twilight heard a noise come from the other side of the room. Twilight removed a box from which she heard the noise from and she didn’t expect to see…

Shining Armour, Doctor Whooves and Doctor Brown were all in a big room with targets at the end of it. In the middle were four objects covered by sheets, three were rather small, while the other one was quite a bit larger than the others. “So where are these so called battle robots you were telling me about?” Shining Armour asked. Without talking Doctor Whooves looked over to Doctor Brown to get conformation, Brown nodded. Doctor Whooves removed the sheet off of the bigger object first which exposed the highly advanced battle robot Rainbow Dash. “Oh not bad but mere guns don’t do it for me.” Doctor Whooves looked over at Rainbow Dash and nodded his head slowly, it would still appear he is disturbed about what happened to her. After seeing Whooves nod Rainbow Dash started to fly across the room towards the targets, she landed in front of them, Rainbow lifted her hoof up, turned towards Shining Armour and blow up the target.
“Is that good enough for you captain?” Doctor Brown said.
“Yea, I guess it is. But what’s under those three?”
“Well I’ll show you.” Doctor Brown proclaimed. He looked over at Whooves, they both pulled off the three sheets. “These are smaller versions of her, but not as advanced.” What was standing in front of Shining Armour was three small battle bots all with different purposes.
One was Sweetie Bot, she had guns of her back. The second A.I Bloom, she has the same thing as Rainbow Dash does in her hooves also. And finally is Scoutaloo whose point was to fly around and scout out any problems up ahead.
“These aren’t as sophisticated as Rainbow Dash but they work really well as a team,” Doctor Whooves stated. We also wanted to have smaller ones for you, not all the size of Rainbow over there.
“Yes these four will do nicely,” Shining Armour exclaimed.
“However I will say this, if any of them start acting weird or different in any way, contact us IMMEDIATELY. They could be going rouge, and the last thing you want is for that to happen.” Doctor Brown made his point very clear.
“If anything suspicious starts to happen with them, I’ll tell you at once. Got it.” Shining Armour made a mental note of that, just hope for his and others safety he remembers. The four robots moved to Shining Armour and stood next to him.
“Ok, we best be off. Oh and one last thing the three little ones will obey any royal guard, however Rainbow only listens to those of a high power. So only you, Luna and Celestia basically, there are a few others but it doesn’t matter.” Doctor Whooves had an extra few bits worth before they left.
