Looking down in fear Elegant Notes shivered as she sat back in her seat. "Are you sure this is safe?" She asked from her seat in the toy car.

"Yes its safe. Don't worry you're safe with me, no matter how bad it may seem having your life in my paws I would never do anything that would harm you." I say with a reassuring smile to the tiny Pony I was playing with before I wind up the toy and let it go. Elegant lets out a startled squeak as she shot forward but managed to grab the wheel and turn in time before she could crash into a toy castle. She swerved around it and onto the train tracks but the tracks went up before she could drive off and she was now forced to follow them. With two little toots I saw my toy train come barreling toward her. It's body was made of bone with a wolf skull at the front with a blood red light coming from its nose cavity expertly shaped and furnished to look like a high class build. It had a steam punk like appearance as I had used the necrotech I learned from Ax to build it. It had illusion enchantments woven in to be transparent, to look like a ghost train, as well as one to make it look like moaning ghosts were coming out of the chimney. And though it's hard to tell at this size for her the toots will sound like unholy wails mixed with a train's whistle. I can even grow it to use on normal tracks or even without tracks with a lever that switches the wheels if I wanted. Not as efficient as an airship but it was just too epic of an idea not to build it. Also I really like trains. It's one of the best dark artifacts ever!

"I thought you said I would be safe!" I heard her shout from the toy car as she helplessly drove towards it.

"You are. All of the toys in my play room are designed for the shrunken. Everything fully functional built to add extra protection. Even crashing into engine 99 wouldn't hurt you inside that thing. It was designed and enchanted for the riders protection. Now relax and have fun. You have no idea how many humans would pay to play in this room. I guarantee you can't safely have this kind of thrill in a normal sized ride." I say as I watch her make a sharp turn to avoid the train and start screaming as she fell. Maybe I'm going a bit far. Ponies rarely enjoy thrill rides. I catch her in a paw before she could hit the ground and looked inside to see her breathing heavily and clinging to her seat. "Maybe calmer games from now on?" I asked her which she nods vigorously to.

(half an hour of calming down later.)

"Better?" I ask the now normal sized pony as she sipped her tea.

"Yes, much. So shall we continue the interview?" She asked which I just give her a polite nod. "Very well, I might as well get this one out of the way. My son wanted to know this one. Can you make a room that can make beings into cyborgs and make them immune to most magic?" she asked

"Well, I can make a room to do anything so long as I know how it works. So I'm afraid that's a no. Though I have a talent for necrotech along with anything dark, that's for the undead and incompatible with living tissue. I just don't know how to build that. As for the immune to magic, I can make something called Bone metal which requires at least a master level understanding of necromancy to do. Its compressing bones into a dense armor that's extremely tough. If I make some from dragons bones it would be resistant to magic but not immune." She nods at my answer before asking a new one.

"How does your minion summoning spell work and can you teach it?" She asked.

"I'm not going to teach it to anyone, it's dark magic. I can safely use dark magic because my body produces the stuff naturally as much as yours produces the normal kind. It can't corrupt me because I'm already darkness, its kind of like trying to burn a lava pool by throwing a burning torch into it. But I can give a basic explanation without any details for anyone to try. First it looks at what I want. If it finds someone or something I want it will then look for any allegiances they might have that would trump mine. I'm talking employers or rulers not family. Then if they find no potential rivals for loyalty it looks for what they want. First the environment they want which is where the rooms come in. Then what they crave. Power, revenge, wealth or whatever and it uses this to lure them in with promises of the things they want. But only if working for me will get it for them." I reply as she wrote on her notepad.

"I see, What are the strange creatures who come under your 'banner'?"

"I can attract and create all sorts of things. The lowest are the ammo monsters. Undead created from creatures so small they are useless for anything but bullets. Like undead birds and bats with bombs inside that they will trigger when they fly into the target. And one of my favorite traps / projectile is the undead swarm. Undead wasps, flies and the like all filling a container that when opened will have them swarm the enemy while leaving friends alone. Problem with them is finding enough dead bugs to properly fill one. It takes so long to make one because of this. Next up are the expendables. Skeletons and flesh golems are the main bulk of them. They have no souls and feel nothing so no guilt about marching them to their destruction. They are usually my first wave to test the waters so I can plan my strategy in battle. Next up are the beasts. Small ones like wolves and big ones like a hydra. They are easy to attract as they only want a safe place to sleep and get paid in food. Then there is the controllers. Like the beastmaster with the monster class beasts. The controller doesn't fight but controls something else on the battlefield that can do a lot of damage. Then the tanks are the ones that can take a lot of damage and dish it out in the thick of it. The support minions like my mages attack from a distance and can even bring affects to aid in the fight. Then there are the teamed minions. They are a group that act as a single unit. For example the crew on a war ship. There are also non combatants that just work at the dungeon." I say.

"I heard you had some kind of toy ball as a minion. Is that one of the worker minions?" She asked.

"Bouncy? No she's just used as a toy that plays back. I have given her the best training thinking that maybe she can attack like a giant pinball bouncing off everything and pummeling everything in a room. She can but it's not very effective. It can only really annoy anything she fights. and do no more damage then you would get playing dodge ball." I answer.

"How do you know it's a she?" She asked with a head tilt.

Because it has Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. "I can just tell with my magic." She buys in and moves on.

"What troops did you prefer back in the day and what troops do you like in this modern time?" She asked.

"I can't chose, I love them all. Or are you asking what I use most in battle? Skeletons are what gets used most in a battle but the library and lab are what gets used most outside of it so any minions that can use them are used more than the skellys. Also black knights are used as body guards and law enforcers if need be so they get fair use as well." I answer.

"Alright, I hope you don't take this wrong but, what exactly are you?" She asked uncomfortably.

"I'm a Kitsune, a powerful fox that is wise and cunning and has a love of pranks. I don't know if you noticed but being one also makes me playful like a child." I answer.

"I noticed." She said with a deadpan as she remembered the play room. "Is it true you have all kinds of dirt on the Princesses?"

"..."

"Are you alright?" She asked at my silence.

"I'm ok, just having an internal struggle." I say but after a short while I sigh. "Yes I do, but I can't tell you. Baby pictures are one thing but blabbing their embarrassing secrets to a reporter would be too much of a dick move."

"I understand." She said with clear disappointment. "So, where are you from?"

"A magical place called Florida. It has beautiful beaches, amazing parks filled with wild rides, and oranges and old people as far as the eye can see." I say before I look down at her and with a huge grin lean over her. "I see you've finished the tea. That means it's back to play time." She only responds with an audible gulp and a nervous smile.

Author's Notes:

No flashbacks this round. I was going to put one up but filled it with the questions I couldn't think of a way to make into a flashback and these bonus chapters are meant to be short. (No more then 2k if I can help it.) If I didn't answer its because its going to be a flashback in another one, has already been answered in the story or I can't answer for one reason or another. One thing I should tell you is this takes place years after the main story.
