Robert's POV, Castle Ruins, Late Afternoon
We walked all the way from the pony town through the forest and got back to the castle. Surprisingly enough, we managed to get back before night had even set. With the last rays of sunlight upon us, we entered the insides of the ruins.
“Those are pretty!” Huh? Oh, that was the small unicorn-pegasus, erm, cute-pony, and she was pointing towards one of the many banners that hung on the deteriorated walls.
“I like them. Can I take one home with me for a blanket?” she asked Kami, who sighed like a parent would towards their child. Wait, she is not his daughter, is she? I mean how would th- NOOOOOO, GO AWAY IMAGES IN MY BRAIN!!!
It took me a moment to shake those thoughts off before realizing I was being asked something. “Wilson, you own this castle essentially. Do you mind?”
“Erm, not exactly. I kind of use this as my home, sure, but I’m not its owner,” I said, somewhat hastily. I really need to get out of this place before it messes with my sanity more than it already has.
“Unless you know who owns it officially, I think that you are the owner. You claimed this abandoned ruin as your home, after all.”
“I guess its okay for you to take one of them, it doesn't seem like anyone cares about this place besides me.”
“Thank you!” the pony said adorably. I think I’m going to get diabetes just by staring at her!
She lit up her horn as a blue aura appeared surrounding it. Then a similar light engulfed the tapestry and it slowly glided down towards her grasp.
Okay, apparently the horns can do that…
“Erm, what’s that sound?” the black midget who held what I assumed was their flag asked, and I realized those were the noises from my machines!
“Oh, that’s what I was talking about with fangs and the gems!” I told them before practically sprinting to get to my precious beauties faster.
As we arrived at my main research area, the midgets stared at my contraptions. Well, that was until a certain blue pony piped up.
“What is all this stuff?” she asked, but before I could tell her anything she approached my Science Machine, and when she was pretty close to it, she retreated with a scared look in her eyes.
“I don’t like that.” Huh? What do you mean you don’t like it? Wait…
“Hmmm, it seems I’m not the only one affected by the machine’s field of knowledge… Interesting.” I thought it was just me and my crazy hair!
“Would you please explain?” he asked me, why is he looking at me lik-
“Woah woah woah! It’s alright! no need to get feisty!” Sorry if I panicked a little when the small army who helped take out THE EIGHT THOUSAND HOUNDS pointed their weapons at ME!
“It’s nothing to be worried about, it’s just knowledge! These machines I’ve built have helped me immensely due to the information they give me whenever I’m around them. Sure it was confusing and scary at first, but after you get used to the recipes, it’s not that bad.” Damn! I never thought it would be that terrifying for the poor small pony, for she was shivering behind one of the shielded midgets.
Kami carefully floated near my Science Machine as well, before his freaky eyes opened wide.
“This... just wow...” he said as his eyes gleamed.
“So many new ideas for Patapons!” Pata-what now…
“Huh? What are patapons?” Now everyone slapped their forehead, including the pony with her tiny blue hooves. I swear it was felt throughout the entire castle. Also WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT EXPRESSION?! I STILL DON’T KNOW!!
“These guys here are Patapons,” Kami said very slowly, while waving at the black, one-eyed midgets.
“Ooohhh, ok then, but what did you mean by ‘new ideas for Patapons’? I thought the Science Machine only had knowledge about tools and buildings and such,” I informed him, he just shrugged and explained.
“Patapons are born from a divine tree named Mater.” They are made on a tree? What are they fruit or something? “We bury specific things by her roots, and certain Patapons are born.” So when he said new ideas, that means new recipes for making them, huh that’s very interesting.
“And how should I know anything about the knowledge in the science machine? It’s your creation." Hmm, actually that is a very good question. Maybe…
“Well, it could vary depending on who uses it. I mean, I haven’t really gotten the chance to test that until now, so shall we experiment?” I had the irresistible urge to do science right now, and I’m liking it!
Wait, why is he backing away from me?
“Oh! Me please!” said one of the Patapons, before rushing towards my machine. The same strange gleam appeared in his eye as he said, “Ohhh, if I use a hound fang...” He then reached for a tooth from another Patapon “And do this...” he said before smacking the canine on his spear, which bonded with it quite nicely.
But then I realized this was not going to end well, because of what he asked for next.
“Does anyone have a bone?” As he stared at me, the gleam in his eye grew even stronger.
“Maybe that’s enough experimenting. I think that’s too much knowledge,” I said while walking towards him before he could do something stupid.
After he left the field of knowledge, the gleam disappeared from his eye. Good.
“What just happened?” the Patapon with the new fancy spear asked, before Kami looked at my machine, then turned back to his army.
“No one else is allowed near that thing,” he declared.
“Agreed.” I really didn’t want to question the black guy’s decision. Really, I don’t think it would be a good idea.
Kami pondered for a while, before saying, “I think that we might have a use for something like that, but I would need to make a new one. I don’t want to risk any of my Patapons carrying it back.”
“Erm, I’m not sure how to hel-” I began to say, before an idea hit me. “...hmm, that could work.” I could make a blueprint for him so he could build it himself, hopefully this works as well as all my other crazy ideas.
I swear it’s my hair, no sane man would ever have it combed like this!
“But where am I going to get a piece of paper?” I asked no one in particular, before the mares from before, including the unicorn leader, came in through the doorway.
“See, I told you they would be here!” said a pink mare, while the Patapons raised their weapons at them.
“It’s not worth it. They couldn’t do anything even if they wanted to,” said Kami, making sure his troops don’t do something very stupid.
“We aint here to cause trouble mister, we jus’ wanted ta talk,” said a mare with an evident western accent.
“Alright, I’m listening as long as you are,” I told Kami, who seemed to agree.
“Speak your mind.”
“We wanted to thank you for helping us fight those creatures, and I personally apologize for thinking of you as a threat when you came through as an ally.” The unicorn thanked us with pure honesty. Kami merely told them:
“It’s fine. You could have handled it better, but you did alright.”
“Hey Twilight, do you have a piece of paper Wilson could borrow?” Pinkie, I believe was her name, asked the purple mare.
“Uh, sure but why would he ne-” Pinkie took the paper with her mouth and brought it to me.
“Thank you Pinkie, but how did you know I needed that?” I asked the pink, bubbly mare.
“She’s Pinkie Pie! You are better off not questioning it,” the pegasus that tried to catch me a few nights ago answered, I reaaaally hope she won’t hold a grudge after the whole spiders thing...
“Uh, oh-kay?” I feel the sudden urge to know about their friend now more than ever, but I shrugged. Hopefully I’ll get some answers later.
I took the piece of paper and walked towards the Alchemy Engine. Okay, just a simple sketch of the Science Machine would do.
And ta-da! Wait, it turned blue for some reason. Eh, I’m not questioning it anymore. I brought the blueprint to the Patapon leader.
“Here you go Kami, thanks so much for your help with the hounds, I don’t know if we could have survived without you and your Patapons.” I thanked him again, and placed the bluepri- IT FELL RIGHT THROUGH HIS HANDS?!? WHAT IS HE MADE OF?!?
“...Forgot about that for a second. Luna, could you please get that for me?” I guess I’m not the only one who forgets how weird things have gotten.
“Sure!” the cute little pony replied adorably, and picked it up with her weird horn magic.
“Hello! Didn’t I see you back at the libraryish place?” All ponies besides Pinkie Pie stared at her like she is some sort of ghost or something.
“Don’t worry about it.” The more you say that the more I worry. Even the pony guards agree!
“So, I assume that you can make things out of the gems and teeth?” Huh?
“Oh yeah, RIGHT!” Forgot about that for a second...
“Just make a small pile of them somewhere around here and take whatever else is left. If I can make something useful out of them, I bet you could too” I instructed them. If they were taking plans for the Science Machine with them, they could find a way to make the teeth useful, and eventually the gems as well.
“Alright! Split the gems and fangs into two piles!” The Patapons did as instructed, before Kami asked me the most horrible question possible.
“Do you want any meat as well?” Pal, you don’t say that in front of intelligent, English speaking horses. Seriously, thats like offering bacon on Veganville!
“Uh, no,” I said out loud so the ponies could hear me, and then whispered into his ear. “I’m not eating anything in front of them, and especially nothing that is purple!” It’s the same color of the spider’s corpses for crying out loud!
“Your loss.” I tried to laugh to make the situation less uncomfortable, I failed miserably.
“ANYWAYS, I think it might be time for you to go. I don’t think you came here to stay, right?” I really needed to change the subject before the ponies start asking questions.
“No, although I wouldn’t mind coming back at all.” I couldn’t help but smile, I may need his help later.
“Alright, if you could follow me, I think I can get you home.” But before we could get moving, Twilight I believe, had a question:
“What about us? Can we come with you?” I really don’t want them to get anywhere near my machines, any of them.
“Just, erm, sit tight. I’ll come back and try to explain as much as I can. Please don’t touch any of my machines until then,” I told her, and judging by how her eyes were looking at my contraptions, I better hurry.
Reluctantly the ponies accepted, after all, Kami saved them.
“Gather the stuff that’s ours, and let’s follow him!”
I guided them deeper into the castle, making sure to keep the lights bright so we didn’t get lost.
Before long we finally arrived at my jury-rigged portal. And as we got close to it, it turned on, as if inviting Kami and his Patapons to cross it.
“Well I guess this goodbye,” I told him, extending a hand before he left.
“True. It was nice meeting you, Wilson.” I tried to shake his hand, buuuut it kinda went right through his.
“Oh, and don’t call me Wilson, it’s not my real name, I just don’t want the ponies knowing, just in case.” You can call me paranoid, I still won’t trust the ponies.
“Oh? How so?”
“I don’t exactly know them, and I really would appreciate if you helped me keep it that way.” He smiled, again… I’m not sleeping well tonight.
“May I know your real name?” he asked me, and I thought about it for a little bit before responding.
“Well, after the whole hounds thing I trust you enough to know it’s Robert, Robert Smith.”
“I’ll keep your secret safe. Anyway, see you later!”
“Time to go home!” Kami addressed his Patapons as they all went through my portal.
Man I’m gonna miss them, but I can always ju-
…the drum…
“Oh fuck, how the hell am I going to call him back!? HE TOOK THE DRUM!!”
“WILSON?!” What now!?
“YES PINKIE?”
“REMEMBER WHEN YOU TOLD TWILIGHT TO NOT TOUCH YOUR STUFF?!?”
Oh no... Twilight, what have you done this time?
PLEASE! UPDATE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE!
This is a great piece, seriously it is awesome, because, yeah, it's AWESOME!
Already we are seeing several ideas and science stuff from Wilson making it's way here, and it, is, EPIC!
Tracking this think NOW!
Twilight! WTF!

I hope not everyone can get ideas with his maschine, this would make Wilson less special i suppose.
Ohhh i am really curious about what happens next. However, i really hope that not everyone can do anything like Wilson with his maschines, but it would be okay if Displaced could do it, i mean Kami have to build his army too.
Since both of them need plans for their......(Gameplay?), it makes more or less sense, that Kami can use it too.
I hope Twilight destroyed half of the stuff, or did something terrible wrong, that Wilson has to fix.
Twilight used a machine that gives beings new knowledge? (which in this case would be magic)
And that, ladies and gentlemen is how equestria was un-made...
