//------------------------------// // Chapter Nineteen: Frankencorn // Story: The Redemption of King Sombra // by DrewCarriker6231993 //------------------------------// Chapter Nineteen: Frankencorn Nighttime at Yykees' Mansion "Phew, this teleporter is taking longer than I hoped...." Yykees said wiping the sweat off his face. "Don't worry, we're half way done...." Prof. George said putting on a welding mask and turned on a welding torch. Yykees looked back at the robot that Rarity and Twilight Sparkle accidentally woke up that one time. Yykees has modified it; he given it a jet pack; put screws into it's neck attached to the machine; and he added three claws on each hoof. "Maybe it's time we took a break and see what my robot can do...." The gorilla lifted his welding mask, "Maybe you're right...." he put it back on. Yykees put on safety goggles and walked over to a machine and pulled the switch. Electricity started entering the robots body as Yykees laughed much like a mad scientist. Yykees continued laughing as more electricity entered the robot. Then the robot started moving like it was getting electrocuted. Yykees immediately turned off the power and started coughing, "Not very easy on the throat...." He took off the goggles and walked over to the robot, who laid there motionless. "Hmm, must of overheated the battery...." he guessed feeling disappointed. "Maybe...." George took off the mask and his stomach rumbled, "All this work is making me hungry. Care for peanut butter and banana sandwiches?" "Yeah...." George left the room. Yykees turned around and sat at his desk with his hooves on his face. Suddenly the robot's head moved to the direction of Yykees. Yykees, moving his hooves off his face, began getting a very bad feeling. Reluctantly he made his chair turn around to see the robot and then he blacked out. Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Scootaloo was reading books full of scary stories on the bed the room Rainbow Dash stayed in when she's staying at the castle. Scootaloo's teeth starting chattering. Then the door slammed open making Scootaloo scream. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! it's me!" Rainbow Dash assured her. The Pegasus filly sighed in relief, "Oh, sorry Rainbow..." Scootaloo said. Rainbow Dash sat down next to her, "Hey, you're going to give yourself a nightmare reading this stuff before bed..." "But, I can't stop now; the zombies are making their way into town...." "Wait, is that Invasion of the Zombies? Why didn't you tell me? I love this story!" Rainbow Dash grabbed a lantern, pulled a blanket over them, wrapped a wing around Scootaloo and together they both read. A picture made Scootaloo jump and grab Rainbow Dash. But Rainbow Dash calmed her down and they continued reading. After a while the door opened again, making Scootaloo jump to the ceiling. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" Fluttershy said. "That's okay. Hey, would you like to read some scary stories with us?" "Oh, no thank you...." then they both looked up and saw that Scootaloo was hanging on to something. Then she slipped and fell, but Rainbow Dash caught the filly in her arms. "I'm going to have to try sugar-free snacks..." she said. "That's a good idea." Rainbow Dash agreed. Fluttershy chuckled, "Good night...." "Good night Fluttershy...." they both said. "Maybe it's time we went to bed too...." Rainbow Dash said pulling up the blanket over her and Scootaloo. "Good night Scootaloo...." "Good night Rainbow...." In Ponyville "That was so romantic...." Rose said walking with Count Appula. "We should go out like this every night, my dear...." he replied. "That would be...." before Rose could finish Appula motioned her to be quiet. "I hear something...." he said his ears twitching. She stayed quiet and listened. It sounded like a machine walking. "What is that?" "I don't know, but it's near...." Appula's ears twitched again and again then his eyes opened wide, "Look out!" he pushed Rose out of the way. Then the robot was on top of Appula! Rose shook her head and then saw them fighting, "Appula!" Appula's hooves were against the robots hooves and claws as they struggled to push each other back. The Appula was able to lift the robot over his head and toss it. Appula pulls his cape over and teleports to the robot that was getting back up. Appula hissed at it as it raised a claw and attempted to crush Appula, but he moved just in time. Appula then took a deep breath and let out a bat screech so loud at Rose had to cover her ears and it woke up a lot of ponies. "What the?!" one of them yelled. "What's that?!" another yelled. Appula ducked, dodged, teleported, and avoided every hit the robot tried to do. Then it unleashed laser beams from it's eyes, making Appula take to the sky! Then the robot's jet pack started up and it took to the sky as it's horn powered up and unleashed electricity, sounding like thunder. Appula teleported just in time and used his superstallion strength to pull off the robot's left arm! The robot then moved it's head toward's Appula and electrocuted him with it's horn! Appula screamed in pain and teleported out of the there, "Appula!" Appula reappeared in front of Rose and fell to his knees. They looked around and saw the robot ran off and left it's arm behind. Rose hugged her boyfriend, "Are you alright?!" "Yeah.... at least you didn't get hurt.... my dear...." then he lost consciousness. Some ponies rushed out of their houses and helped Rose get him to the hospital. Yykees' Mansion Yykees' woke up and found himself in his bed and had a bandage over his head. "Ugh.... my head...." he groaned. Spectra hugs him, "We were so worried...." "What the heck happened?" George asked. Yykees' thought back and then remembered, "After George left the lab I sat at my desk frustrated because the experiment didn't work. Then I turned around and then I was attacked...." "The experiment is missing." George replied. "While I was making those sandwiches I heard a really loud noise so I came to see if you were okay. And when I got there I found you unconscious and the robot gone." "Interesting. The experiment was a success after all...." Yykees said before realizing something, "Where'd go?!" Hospital Appula slowly woke up and saw Rose, her friends, the Mane Six, and Easter in the room. Appula shook his head and saw where he was and saw he wasn't wearing his suit or cape and had bandages over his chest, right arm, left hoof. Before he could say anything Rose rushed over and hugged him, "I was so worried!" "I'm fine...." he assured her. Rose hugged him tighter, "OW!" Rose let go fast, "I'm so sorry!" "What the heck happened?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah, you've taken quite a beating!" Pinkie Pie said. "Electrocuted, actually...." Appula told her. Bandit came in with two stallion cops. They brought in the robot's arm, "This was recovered after the scene. We would like to know what has happened." Bandit said having one of the cops take out a pencil and a notebook. "There's not much to tell...." Appula said. "I was out last night with my girlfriend; we just got done with dinner and I was escorting her home. We were almost there when my sensitive ears picked up something...." "What was it?!" Pinkie Pie asked getting excited. "I was getting to that. This mechanical alicorn came out of nowhere....." "What did this alicorn look like?" the cop asked. "It's arms and legs are like the arm you brought in; it's whole body was made out of metal; it had two screws in it's neck; glowing red eyes; it can stand on two; and instead of wings it had a jet pack. I also have to warn you that it could shoot lasers from it eyes and electricity from it's horn...." "I see, and do you know where it came from?" "No, sir...." "Thank you. Get well soon." then the sheriff and the cops left. "How are you feeling?" Fluttershy asked. "I'm still sore, but I'll make it my dear...." Suddenly Eclipse appeared in the room with magic, "Master Applejack, a metal alicorn with three legs is attacking Sweet Apple Acres!" "What?! We have to leave right away!" Applejack yelled then Eclipse surrounded herself, Easter, and the Mane Six with her magic and they teleported out. "Have to help them...." Appula said trying to get up the doctor stopped him, "You must take it easy our your wounds won't heal properly...." "But!" Rose put a hoof on Appula's good hoof. "They'll take care of it...." Sweet Apple Acres The metal alicorn was pushing down trees and stomping on the fallen apples! Apple Bloom and Big Mac try to run for cover, but Wild Forrest tried to fight it, but with one smack it threw the colt into a tree and knocked him out! "Forrest!" Apple Bloom and Big Mac rushed over to him as the metal alicorn walked closer to them. It raised a claw and was about to strike them when the Mane Six, Easter, and Eclipse showed up. "Leave them alone!" Applejack yelled kicking the robot's leg with her hind legs causing it to back up a little. Rainbow Dash dashed in full speed and tackled the robot making it fall on it's back. "Yal okay?" Applejack asked. "Yes, but Forrest is out cold!" Apple Bloom said. "Get the kids inside, quickly!" Applejack ordered as Big Mac put Forrest on his back and ran with Apple Bloom into the house. The robot got back up and made what sounded like a roar. "Quick, to the barn!" Fluttershy yelled aS she and Easter led the animals away from the robot. Pinkie Pie bounced towards the robot. The robot slammed it's claw to the ground, but it missed. "Missed me! Missed me! Now you gotta kiss me!" Pinkie yelled making kissy faces at the the robot who tried striking again and again as Pinkie Pie jumped all over it and around it. "Here I am! Not here! Over here! Peek-a-boo, I see you! Na na nana na! Whee! This is so much fun!" "Get on it's wrist!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "Okey-dokey lokey!" she jumped on the wrist and then her Pinkie Sense acted up. The robot's eyes glowed red and fire lasers as Pinkie Pie jumped off in time, "Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!" then the robot blasted it's only arm off! The robot roared again and it took to the sky! "It's heading for Ponyville!" Eclipse yelled as she surrounded herself and the others with her magic and teleported again. Ponyville They all arrived in Ponyville and saw the ponies scream and run for cover as the robot fired laser beams and electricity. Twilight then remembered her and Rarity's first encounter with the robot. "Yykees said it could be affected by magic! Eclipse, come with me!" "Yes Twilight!" Twilight then used her magic to carry Rarity into the air and all three took off after the robot. "Aim for the jet pack on my mark!" Twilight ordered as they chased it and powered up their horns. "NOW!" then all three fired magic beams combining into one and destroyed the jet pack, creating a big hole in the back in the process! Then the robot fell to the earth below! "Good work!" Eclipse turned her head and saw that a wall was about to collapse on two kids! She gasped and dashed over to them. She grabbed them and moved them to safety right before the wall fell on them. The two hugged the mare frightened as she tried to comfort them. The robot landed in the area where the fountain was, and surprisingly the robot just got up ready for more! Before the Mane Six, Easter, Eclipse, and the robot could do anything George came running on all fours towards the robot roaring. Then he stopped in front of the robot, stood on his legs, pounded on his chest and roared. Then the robot and the gorilla wrestled each other. Even without arms the robot was pretty formidable, but the gorilla lifted the robot over his head and tossed it. George stood up and pounded his chest as he roared again. Discord appeared out of nowhere and used his magic to immobilize it. While the robot was down and struggling to get back up Yykees jumped onto it's back and ripped out the battery through the hole in it's back with his magic! Then the robot's eyes went out as it laid there motionless. "Yykees! Prof. George! Discord!" they all ran up to them. George puts his right paw on his back, "Ugh, I'm getting to old for this!" "Is everypony alright?" Yykees asked. Before anypony could answer Sheriff Bandit came through the crowd towards Yykees. "Was it you who constructed this machine?" "Yes, but it was not for destructive purposes I assure you Sheriff." Yykees answered. George walked up to the sheriff, "It was meant to be our security robot, but something went wrong in it's program which caused it to go berserk. On our behalf we offer you all our most sincere apology..." The Sheriff thought for a moment and said, "Well, since you never meant any harm to begin with and nopony is seriously hurt I suppose can't charge you two. But you're goin' to have to make up for your mistake in any way you can." after saying that, Sombra appeared. "Perhaps I could be of some assistance...." Eclipse stood next to him, "I'll help too...." Discord appeared next to them, "Can't fix anything without me!", then their eyes or horns glowed at the same time and in moments all the damage was reversed. Then they looked at the robot and it got repaired as well, but this time it was turned off. "Nicely done...." Bandit said putting a toothpick in his mouth. "But you two still have to do somethin' to make up for your blunder...." "Glad I brought my tools." Yykees said taking a sack out from behind his cape. "George and I should have this thing running again in no time. And this time I program it to guard Ponyville and work for Twilight Sparkle...." "That be mighty fine, just don't let it go berserk again...." Bandit told Yykees as he nodded. "Of course!" Then he and George got to work on it. With help from the Mane Six, Discord, and Easter they got it done quickly. "That should do it!" Yykees said, "Now all it needs is electricity." "Leave that to me!" Rainbow said getting a storm cloud and unleashing lightning into the robot. "Alright, that's enough!" Yykees yelled as Rainbow stopped. "Let's try it out. Good thing we added an on and off switch." George said flipping the new switch on it's back. The robot powered up and it's eyes glowed red, "ALIBOT REPORTING FOR DUTY!" "It works!" Yykees yelled excited. The robot looks over to Twilight Sparkle, approached her, and got on one knee, "PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE, HOW MAY I SERVE YOU?" Twilight Sparkle smiles, "Please go to the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom and guard the entrance until we get back." she ordered. "AS YOU WISH." with that the robot's jet pack turned on it flew away. She looked to her left, "Would you look at that." she said as the others looked into the direction she was looking at. Eclipse was playing tag with children who were laughing. Then some other kids jumped on top of her back causing her to fall down, but she wasn't mad. She seemed to be enjoying herself. "I didn't think she be good with kids." Rainbow Dash said. "She's having so much fun!" Pinkie Pie yelled bouncing. "I'm proud of her." Twilight told them. "I reckon she should look into Daycare!" Applejack said. "That sound's like a good idea...." Fluttershy agreed. "We should talk to her about it...." Easter suggested. "Ideaaaaaaa!" Rarity yelled, "I have just the thing to help her look good!" Sombra walked over to the group, "She is coming around very well...." he said looking back at the alicorn now playing ball with the kids. "What are you talking about?" George asked. "Yeah, what are you talking about?" Yykees asked next. "It's a long story." Twilight replied. The everything went black and THE END appeared in white. Friendship Rainbow Kingdom The Mane Six, Easter, George, Spike, Opal, Angel Bunny, Tank, Gummy, Winona, Owlicious, the CMC, the CMS, Discord, Yykees, Zecora, Spectra, Flash Sentry, and Eclipse were in Twilight's room on the bed, in their seats, and the sofa with a movie projector. "What a movie!" Pinkie Pie yelled throwing her popcorn in the air. "Awesome!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "I liked it." Twilight Sparkle said, "But I still can't believe we didn't notice that Cameraven." "I designed the Cameraven to be very stealthy. If I haven't forgotten I left mine on, or realized that it'll fly on it's own we wouldn't have had this movie. By the way, how's your side Forrest?" Yykees asked Forrest who had bandages put around his waist, "It still hurts, but I'll be alright...." "If I known I was going to be in a movie I would've dressed in my best dress." Rarity said. "Hey Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, yal thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" Apple Bloom asked. "Yeah, we could be...." Scootaloo said before they put their hooves together. "Cutie Mark Crusader Movie Makers! Yeah!" "You weren't planning on showing this movie to others, were you?" Fluttershy asked Yykees. "I was thinking about it, but I won't if you don't want me too. But can I show Appula?" "Okay...." "Um, everypony...." Eclipse said. "Yes Eclipse?" Twilight asked. "What did Sombra mean when he said I was coming around very well?" before Twilight could answer Pinkie Pie asked, "Do you really want to know?" Twilight motioned her nervously not to tell Eclipse. "Thinking about it now, no...." she said. Twilight sighed in relief. Fluttershy and Discord hugged each other, "Good night Fluttershy. Good night everypony! We should do this again some time." Discord whispered to Fluttershy who smiled. "Good night Discord!" the others answered. "Good night Discord, maybe we should do this again soon...." Fluttershy said to Discord before he teleported. "It's time we visited Appula at the hospital." Yykees said turning off the movie projector. "Yes, we should...." Spectra said. "Zecora, would you like to come with us?" Yykees invited. "Yes beloved Yykees, I'll come with you. We must hurry before the day is through." after the goodbyes they left for the hospital. "Would you like me to guard the castle tonight?" Flash Sentry offered. Twilight blushed, "Um, sure. I mean if you want too...." "Yeah, you can guard the inside and Alibot can guard the outside." Pinkie Pie said to Flash Sentry. Polkey Dots yawned, "It's time I headed home too...." he said. "Yeah, and we had a great day. Not mention a movie to play." Rapper Mouth replied. "Seeya Forrest!" Polkey yelled. "See you later, alligator!" Rapper Mouth said getting Gummy's attention. Forrest waved at his friends, "Bye guys!" with that the two left the castle. Twilight yawned, "Maybe we should go to bed early...." she suggested before going to her room with Flash Sentry following her. "Come on, Spike.... Spike?" he was asleep on a cushion. Hospital Appula was still in bed with Rose by his side. Yykees, Zecora, and Spectra came in to the room. "Yykees, great to see you again. George, Zecora and Spectra, hello." Appula said. "Good to see you too Cousin Appula." Yykees greeted. "Is that a movie projector?" Appula asked. "Yes, it has the movie of what happened last night and today." George replied. "Would you like to watch it?" Spectra asked getting close to Rose who took one look at the ghost and fainted. Once Rose has regained consciousness George sat the movie projector up, then they all sat down as the black screen with 'FRANKENCORN' in white letters came up and then the movie began. "Rose and I are in the movie too?" Appula asked. "Yes, and so are Rose's friends." Yykees answered. "Now this is exciting! Wait till they hear about this!" Rose yelled.
