What are friends for?

Cybe and Discord sat in the living room of the cottage playing a game of chess with the animals watching them. The two of them were waiting for when Fluttershy was in need of them, she was currently locked in her room and only Cybe had the key, the windows were also barred up by Discord. After talking to Discord Cybe discovered that this would be one of her more intense heats due to the stress of the war and trying to keep the ponies away from him. So the two took steps to make sure she didn't do anything she'd regret or hurt anyone.

Discord was having trouble, due to Cybes cybernetic brain he was able to calculate any possible move that Discord could make. When he tried to use his chaos magic to do something unpredictable or tried to cheat Cybe would work around it or move a teleported piece back to its rightful place. "I'll admit it Cybe, you're a worthy foe."

"Same goes for you Discord, your unpredictability does put a bit of a strain on my systems." As Cybe moved one of his pawns they both heard Fluttershy frantically running around her room. "Seems like she's getting restless."

"Do you think we should put a sedative in her dinner or something, or make her sleep through the heat?"

Cybe shook his head. "No we don't know what that will do to her in this state, we will continue what we are doing and try to calm her down."

Discord nodded and moved his knight. "Who's turn is it to deliver her some food?"

"Mine, I'll start cooking after this game is over." The two remained silent as they continued playing. "Checkmate."

Discord sighed and slumped back in his seat. "Damn, you're really good at this."

Cybe shrugged and walked into the kitchen. Reaching up to a shelf he began selecting various vegetables. "Angel?" On que the white rabbit hopped up to the counter and looked at Cybe. "Do you know what vegetables Fluttershy likes the most?" The rabbit nodded and pointed to a few of the selected items. "Thank you Angel." Cybe reached up and took a carrot, giving it to Angel as a reward.

After preparing a small salad for Fluttershy he walked up the stairs and to her bedroom door, pulling the key out of his pocket he quietly unlocked the door and slowly opened the door. Looking in he saw Fluttershy looking out of the window with a soft blush on her face.

"Here's your dinner Fluttershy, how are you feeling?"

Fluttershy immediately turned around and looked to the ground. "Oh... I'm doing... Better, thank you. Just leave the food on the floor please."

"Ok Fluttershy, I'll leave it here. I'm heading to town to see Twilight, she requested my assistance with something so if you need anything Discord is downstairs." As Cybe left the room Fluttershy returned to looking out the window. A few minutes later she spotted Cybe exiting the cottage. He stopped as he reached the bridge and looked up to her, giving a small wave and disappearing into the treeline towards Ponyville.


Twilight sat in her basement with Spike, tinkering with the C-Unit that Shining Armour had given to her, starting with altering a few things in his systems and giving it a paint job, replacing the red with blue. She walked over to a desk where its separated power core lay. She had finished repairing the hole in the units chest and put a hatch on where she could place the core back in and put to her preference. Looking over a few stolen documents sent to he by Celestia and a few cyborg parts she looked over to the unit and hummed in interest.

Walking back over to the table she began looking over its arm, with multiple weapon slots in the forearm and noticing that the hand was on a hatch. Opening the hatch she found what appeared to be the barrels of a gatling gun. Frowning Twilight closed the hatch and began writing a letter to Celestia informing her of her latest discovery and telling her to warn the troops on the front lines. She wrapped the paper into a scroll and gave it to Soike to send.

As she was about to go back to inspecting the C-Unit she heard a knock on her front door. "Twilight? It's me Cybe."

Smiling Twilight teleported to the front door and opened it for her visitor. "Hello there Cybe, I'm glad you could come over."

Cybe smiled. "Well you said you needed my help with something, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't help you?"

Twilight smiled at this and motioned for him to enter. "Well it's good to know I can trust you if I need something. Now, let's get down to business shall we?" She closed the door and walked towards the basement door with the cyborg following her. As they reached the basement floor Cybe spotted the C-Unit laying on the examination table and raised a brow.

"Isn't that one of the units from a few days ago?"

Twilight nodded. "Yes, my brother gave it to me for examination and I've been working on turning it into something I can use, that Equestria can use. That's where you come in." Twilight walked over to the unit and lifted its head with her magic revealing a small port in the back of the head. "Your programming is different, it gave you your human side back and even added a few things, I was hoping you could share your data and coding into this unit for me." Twilight looked to the unsure cyborg.

"I don't know Twilight, that could be dangerous and there's the risk that my very consciousness will be transferred."

"That's why I won't place the power core inside unless you are successful, and if your consciousness is placed in it you can just download yourself back into your body again. Please Cybe, I need you to do this for me." Twilight pleaded with huge puppy dog eyes so cute tart it almost caused Cybes systems to glitch.

"Ok ok, just don't look at me like that!"

Twilight smiled triumphantly and moved aside, giving Cybe access to the droid. He reached to the back of his neck and pulled out a cable connecting from his head and inserted it into the port. His eyes closed and he began sharing his code into the robot.
