"I must apologize for lying to you, Kaes. It's become a habit, over the years. I can't remember how many times that lab broke me down and rebuilt me. We ran for a time, too, before we found a family to take us in. My name isn't really Rarity, and my sister isn't really Sweetie Belle. It's us. Kaet and Kaef."

The robotics lab called it the KAE project. KAE for Kinshen Acquisition Escapade. KAE:S was built to summon the Kinshen; KAE:F to begin the fight; KAE:A to continue the assault; KAE:T to trap them; and KAE:G to guard. Many trial runs were run, every robot rebuilt many times. But the AI that had been programmed to control the robots was capable of thinking like a pony, the body capable of running off of pony food. They had been meant to pass as ponies, traveling from place to place, gathering what was needed to summon the Kinshen. Some Kinshen were also only possible to summon outside of certain areas, so being pony like would be necessary to capture curtain ones.

The KAE bots were property, but they were also ponies, in a way. So when each was separated, thinking the others were dead, due to lack of evidence otherwise, they ran. Kaet and Kaef were the only two to find each other before Kaes came to Ponyville. They welcomed her into their family, introducing her as a third sister to the others, and everypony else welcomed her, too. Rarity was right, she didn't like Pinkie Pie all that much, but she was capable of putting up with her, none the less. All and all, it seemed a perfect fairy tale ending. And those endings are too good to be true.
