//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 The Short Chapter About Sheep Man // Story: Grave // by PioneerofImagination //------------------------------// Sheep Man originally built to herd sheep but now is a part of Dr. Wily's robot army. He's was a simple creature that mostly kept to himself but has had his fair share of combat, he has the power to turn into 4 wool clouds and fire electricity which is what helped defeat all of Cloudsdale. After getting blasted by strange energy from Dr. Wily's portal Sheep Man began to wander around and before he knew it was somewhere outside and in some kind of forest. He didn't know but it was the Everfree Forest a very strange and dangerous place to be but by some miracle Sheep Man found a way out of there safely and arrived all the way to the cottage belonging to Fluttershy. Dr. Wily told his robot minions that the ponies were the enemies but Sheep Man now found himself with an urge to make friends with the ponies. Before long Sheep Man saw a small white bunny that stared at him for a while before getting a little closer, the bunny was named Angel and he went outside after having yet another little fight with Fluttershy. For a reason Sheep Man and perhaps not even Angel knew the 2 seemed to form an instant bond. The 2 then played around a bit and Sheep Man also helped Angel get a little food from trees and before long followed Angel back inside the cottage who hoped that Fluttershy had cooled off. Eventually Fluttershy came back to her cottage as well and to her surprise found Sheep Man there playing with Angel Bunny. Upon seeing Fluttershy Sheep Man offered her some of the food he helped Angel Bunny get. Fluttershy was surprised by this action especially since all the horrible things the robots have done recently. However Fluttershy could clearly tell that this robot had a different nature from all the other robots. As Fluttershy looked at the robot she tried to figure out if she could really trust it when suddenly she saw Sheep Man playing with Angel Bunny and was rather shocked, not just anyone could befriend Angel in so little time. That showed Fluttershy beyond the shadow of a doubt that this robot for whatever reason had a very good nature that clearly all the other robots didn't have. Fluttershy decided to tell her friends about it and see what they think. When she went to see her friends she was surprised to see that Mega Man was also in Ponyville. After finding no sign of Wily Mega Man decided to go to Ponyville to take a break then head to Canterlot in the morning. When Fluttershy decided to tell him about the robot she found and who befriended Angel Bunny as well Mega Man wanted to see the robot for himself. As Mega Man and the others made their way to the cottage he overheard the other ponies saying if Fluttershy believed the robot was good now they believe her too. Mega Man couldn't help but think that they're behavior was weird but from what he heard about them not believing their friend Twilight which is what kind of started all this in a way, perhaps they wished not to repeat their mistake from 3 years ago. "So Mega Man?" "So Rainbow Dash." "When we get to Sheep Man, that I doubt you Fluttershy but is there a way you can tell for sure if the robot is good or bad?" "Just my common sense," Mega Man said with a bit of a smirk. "All right then, again Fluttershy I not doubting you." "It's all right Rainbow Dash I understand," Fluttershy said. "You don't want anything bad to happen to us." "I know the feeling," Mega Man said. "I may not have known you long but I want to make sure you lot are all right too." Mega Man and the ponies weren't far from the cottage, however before Mega Man and the ponies could even get to the cottage to ask Sheep Man Mega Man saw out of the corner of his eye Canterlot castle falling down. "TWILIGHT!" The ponies all said in unison, Mega Man decided right then to head straight for Canterlot to see what happened. Mega Man was very fast but not even he was able to get there in time to help and instead heard what happened from Twilight. Mega Man decided to bring Twilight back to Ponyville because her friends were worried about her, getting back to Ponyville took no time at all and there Twilight told her friends what happened to the best of her knowledge since for the most part she was asleep. Upon hearing this Sheep Man had a burning desire within himself to try and help his new friends the ponies and started jumping around to get there attention. When he got it he continued to point at the mountain that Canterlot was founded upon. Upon remembering the mines beneath Canterlot that she was trapped in for a little while Twilight figured that's where the princesses were taken. The group then took it into consideration that perhaps the entire fortress of Wily and his robot army were hiding somewhere beneath the mountain. After that everypony and robot went back to Canterlot to tell the royal guard about this so they could prepare to rescue the royal pony sisters. When they arrived there the royal guard was also dealing with ponies, buffalos, and even yaks that had arrived to the capital recently and wanted to help the royal guard fight the robots. Twilight decided it was finally time to take the fight to the robots and stop them once and for all. She rounded up all the creatures that were willing to fight and take back their home in one last battle. When they all gathered Twilight noticed a strange creature with the head of a goat and body parts of all different types of other animals. "Hello Twilight long time no see."
