Celestia was just starting day court.

"Your majesty, the nobles are lined up outside and awaiting your audience."

"Thank you general, send the first one in." The guard bowed respectively and walked out the door, then I flew in and slammed the doors shut.

"We have a problem." Celestia just looked at me unfazed.

"Metal Sonic, couldn't this have waited until the end of the day court?" I started walking towards her.

"No, what's more important to you, a request from some noble that is only thinking of themselves, or listening to me because the fate of Equestria might depend on it?" I stood there with my hands on my hips and tapping my foot.

"Go on." I pulled out the master emerald and she looked surprised.

"This is the master emerald, it has the power to control the chaos emeralds and holds an ancient power as old as the universe itself." I lifted it up and brought it to her. "But there's something else in there, something that could bring about the destruction of Equestria, the being known as Chaos, the God of destruction."

Celestias look turned ice cold. "So you're telling me that you've brought a being of unknown power into my land?!" I put up my hands defensively.

"Easy tiger, I didn't bring anything here, someone brought me here with this thing, I didn't exactly have a choice in the matter." I walked up to her and we were nose to nose. "Now, you're gonna do as I say as I am the only one here that knows how to prevent this from happening, are we clear?" Celestia wanted to lean closer to push me away but my sharp nose prevented her from doing so.

"Very well." I backed off and turned my attention to the master emerald.

"First off, I'll need my chaos emerald back." I looked to her and held out my hand.

"And why do you need it?" I pointed to the master emerald.

"Because the thing inside of there feeds off of the chaos emeralds to gain power, as long as I have them he can't get to them."

She looked cautiously at me but grabbed a small chest with her magic and presented it to me. "It's in there." I opened the lid to see the red emerald and placed it in my storage unit. "What next?"

"When Chaos is unleashed the master emerald will break and its pieces will scatter around Equestria, we need to get this thing underground and contained to avoid a world wide search for the fragments, and to contain Chaos when he is released."

"We can use the underground caves, just below the main hall." I nodded my head. "Anything else?"

"In the event that Chaos might escape from the caves, and he will find a way, you will need to relay a message to the element bearers." She nodded. "Last but not least, under any circumstances your guards are not to engage Chaos, they will be like fodder to him even in his base form. As his body is made of liquid."

"Then how do we fight him?"

"I can use the chaos emeralds to defeat him, or Twilight and the others could use the elements. Although I could probably take him with my abilities." She pondered over my words.

"Sounds like a plan. You will be notified if anything goes wrong." I nodded and grabbed the master emerald.

"I'll just go leave this down into the caves." She nodded and I let her resume her day court.

After securing the master emerald in a makeshift shrine in the caves, I returned to Lunas chambers as it was almost sunset. I walked in and saw her cuddling a bat pony like a teddy bear. At least those guys understand her and respect her. I slipped out onto the balcony without letting any light shine on the pile of cuddling ponies, then my eyes fell on the little chef, he was still adorable and frightening. I walked out to the balcony and watched as the sun started its decent towards the horizon.

I flew up onto the roof and looked up at the Orange sky. For the first time since I got here there was total peace and quiet, allowing me to think deeply. Then something hit me. "Someone's screwed up my emotions." I sat up and stared at my hands. "Someone's done something to my personality." I began to pace back and forth on the roof. "I've never been this cocky before, I don't know if it's been a spur of the moment kinda thing or what, next I've never been this social, whatever's happened to me obviously has something to do with my body change."

Wrong.

"Cosmo? I was wondering when you would show up again. What do you mean wrong?"

Cosmo appeared in front of me and started explaining. When you got here, you were more focused on not doing certain things that you completely forgot your reasons for being antisocial, you were so excited to be here that you got distracted from your inner demons. As for your cockiness, I believe that was just because of an adrenaline rush when you were flying for the first time.

I just stood there, looking at her in disbelief. "I have a feeling your only here to speed things up." She shrugged.

Someone has to help move things along, besides, if I didn't explain this all to you, you'd be up here for hours contemplating whether or not this change was a good thing when you could be spending some time with your marefriend.

"S-she's not my marefriend yet." I rubbed the back of my head nervously. "But, it looks as if it's headed that way."

How would that work out, you're a robot, you can't have a physical relationship.

"Why does everyone think that you have to have sex just to have a good relationship, it's just wrong, yes, in some cases it is a vital piece for the relationship but not always, a relationship isn't determined by how you can please each other physically, I focus on pleasing her emotionally. And if she wants to have a physical relationship, then I'll more than happily please her in any other way I can, now if you'll excuse me, I have a princess to cuddle." She stood there looking at me with understanding eyes.

Meanwhile, Celestia heard my little speech about relationships and felt something inside of her that made her trust me some more.

"Yeah, he'll take good care of Luna." With that, she flew off.
