Chapter 10: The Final Battle

Discord took a deep breath and stepped out into the open. He looked to where they had left Sweetie Bot,

but she had finally dug herself out of the mess and was gone.

"Come on Sweetie Bot." Discord whispered to himself, looking around. "I know you're around here

somewhere."

Suddenly, Discord heard the sound of a machine charging behind him. He turned quickly, only to see a

ball of green fire come at him. The blast hit him right in his torso and he was sent into another

building. Wood and debris piled on top of him, nearly burrying him alive. Discord struggled as he

pushed the mess off of him, frantically looking around to see Sweetie Bot's next attack.

"Poor, poor Discord." Sweetie Bot's red eyes suddenly came into view in the smoke. "However are you

going to stop me? I know all your tricks, so you can't outsmart me. How could you even outsmart a

robot? We are far more intelligent than you are."

"Please, Sweetie Bot." Discord coughed as he dragged himself out of the rubble. "You must stop this

madness. Think about what you are doing!"

"I am thinking about what I am doing." Sweetie Bot sneared. "I'm teaching everypony a lesson they'll

never forget. Friendship is Magic, phooey! If it was, nopony would've lied to me and this never

would've happened! If ponies really were my friends, they would've told me the truth from the start.

And you... you created me... you made me what I am. And now you're going to regret it."

Suddenly, small round things landed around Discord. He looked at them closely and gasped when they

started to beep rapidly. They were bombs! Discord tried to get away, but the fight has weakend him. He

wasn't fast enough and the bombs erupted, throwing Discord a far distance.

Discord landed on the ground, hard. His protection blinked, he only had 10 minutes before it wore off.

Discord didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. If he did not start fighting back, then he would

never be able to stop Sweetie Bot.

Discord groaned and stood up, shaking as he did so. He frowned as Sweetie Bot came stomping out of the

smoke, machine guns at her sides.

"I didn't want to do this," Discord sighed. "But you leave me no choice."

Discord held up both his paw and his claw and snapped them both. The wind picked up and thunder roared.

Fallen leaves were circling around Sweetie Bot as the wind blew. Sweetie Bot's metal body attracted the

lightning coming from the sky and she was struck. Sweetie Bot's body siezured, electricity going throw

her. She cried out in pain and fell to the ground, her eyes closed. Discord snapped his fingers and

everything disappeared.

Discord gulped and slowly walked toward the unmoving body of Sweetie Bot. He stood over her and

watched. Suddenly, Sweetie Bot's eyes opened, glowing a more red than ever! She growled and lifte her

head, her horn glowing with a laser. Before Discord could get out of the way, Sweetie Bot blasted him

in the face with her laser horn.

"You fool!" Sweetie Bot cackled. "Did you really think electricity could STOP me?! I'm a ROBOT for

Celestia's sake! You only made me stronger!"

Discord mentally slapped himself. How could he be so stupid?! His protection blinked even more, only 3

more minutes before it was gone. One more powerfull blast and he'd be done for. Sweetie Bot saw this

and smiled evilly, recharging her laser.

"Face it Discord." She sneared. "You're all out of ideas."

Just as she was about to fire her laser, something happened. The sky started swirling, the wind picked

up, lightning flashed and thunder roared and pretty soon, a powerfull downpour came down upon them

both. Sweetie Bot screamed as the water got into her circuits, siezuring and flashing. Sparks started

to fly from her body as the rain poured down even harder. It hit her like bullets, it felt like hail.

Sweetie Bot screamed one more time before she finally fell to the ground, her eyes dark and empty.

The rain stopped and the weather went back to normal. Discord's protection finally disappeared and he

stared in awe at Sweetie Bot. What in Equestria just happened?!

"Dad!"

Discord turned his head to see Screwball and the Mane Six galloping after him. Discord smiled and knelt

down, his arms open. Screwball cried and jumped into his arms, the two of them hugging.

"I thought I lost you." Screwball sobbed.

"I'm ok Screwball." Discord smiled warmly. "But, what just happened? I didn't make that storm."

"I know." Screwball laughed. "I did."

"You what?" Discord was shocked.

"She is the daughter of chaos." Twilight giggled.

"Ick." Rainbow Dash frowned as she kicked Sweetie Bot's body around. "Well, I guess that's finally

over."

"What are you going to do with her now?" Fluttershy asked Discord.

Discord sighed and set Screwball down. He stood up and went over to Sweetie Bot's body, picking her up.

"I'm gonna rebuild her." He said plainly.

"You're what?!" Rarity gasped.

"Don't worry." Discord laughed. "I'll be sure to reboot her. And I'll tell her everything. That's all

she wanted right? To be told the truth from the very start."

"Just, be carefull Discord." Applejack sighed.

"Yeah! We don't need another robot battle. Even if it was pretty cool." Pinkie Pie laughed.

"I'll be sure to be extra carefull." Discord nodded. "In fact, I don't know how she even got these

weapons, but I'll be sure to dispose of them."

"Sounds like a plan." Twilight smiled.

"Come along Screwball." Discord placed a claw on top of her head. "We have some work to do."
