Breaking point

The rest of the mane six were walking towards Fluttershy's cottage, Rainbow Dash and Applejack feeling worried about their friend.

"Girls, I've already told you Cybe can be trusted." Twilight stated as she looked to the two mares.

"And ah trust yer words Twilight, ah just wanna see if Fluttershy is comfortable with him in her home." The farm pony replied while tilting her seston to block the sun from reaching her eyes as they entered a clearing.

"I don't trust him for a second, not until he promises not to hurt Fluttershy." Rainbow said as she punched her hooves together. Twilight rolled her eyes at the Pegasus and turned to Rarity and Pinkie Pie.

"Then why do you two want to come?"

Rarity smiled. "Darling, I'd never miss a chance to gather information on foreign fashion."

"I'm not sure he knows anything about Dressian fashion Rarity, he was created for combat not looking at dresses." Rarity ignored her and began thinking about what type of clothing humans wore. "What about you Pinkie?"

"Well I need to meet somepony before I throw them a 'Welcome to Ponyville' party so I can ask them if they're lactose intolerant, have heart disease, are preg-" Pinkie continued to ramble on about her rules when throwing a party, the group was suprised by how many she had in place.

As the group reached the hidden cottage they found Fluttershy feeding her animals with Discord helping her, while Cybe was over by a nearby lake with a fishing pole, catching fish for a few of the meat eaters and himself. The group then noticed an expansion on the cottage, an overgrown root of the tree had been expanded and hollowed out making a small room inside for the cybernetic house guest.

"Hey there Fluttershy and Discord." Twilight waved over to the two by the cottage. Both noticed them and smiled, when Fluttershy got up Discord disappeared. Once Fluttershy reached the group he reappeared by her side.

"Oh, hello everypony, how lovely of you to visit." The timid mare noticed Applejack and Rainbow Dash's expressions and her smile faltered. "You're here about Cybe aren't you?"

Applejack sighed and nodded. "Sorry sugarcube, we just gotta make sure ya don't get hurt." Rainbow nodded in agreement and looked towards the cyborg, who was now sitting upright as he expected confrontation after hearing his name.

Fluttershy groaned and rubbed her temples. "I've told everypony that has come here today looking for him, he is not dangerous, he is not going to hurt me, he isn't going to betray use and he is NOT a monster!" Everyone was taken back by the sudden outburst. "I am tired of ponies coming here and demanding to see Cybe so they can 'confirm he isn't dangerous.' All of you are comparing him to mindless machines that are built by bad people in Dressia, you know what that is? That's racism! You're being racist towards Cybe, who has done nothing but be respectful to me, to others and to my animals since arriving here. He saved my life, that should be evidence enough for all of you to realise that he isn't bad!"

Fluttershy was about to continue her rant when Cybe walked over and placed his claw on her shoulder. She looked up to him and he looked back with worried eyes. "Fluttershy, while I appreciate you defending me and sticking up for me you need to calm down." Cybe turned to Discord. "Take her inside to calm down, I'll deal with this."

Discord nodded and carried the angry mare into the cottage. "Well... that was unlike her." Twilight said as she shook herself. "What caused her to act like that?"

"Fluttershy may have incredible patience, but everyone has a breaking point and she reached that earlier. Ponies have been showing up to make sure I'm not going to hurt them or Fluttershy, every time she had to explain it and keep a few angry mothers from charging me." He sighed and looked to Applejack and Rainbow Dash. "Now I'm going to get this over with quickly." He put a hand to his chest and put up his claw. "I swear on my life I shall not harm Fluttershy or anypony else unless I am required due to a situation."

The mares all looked at him wide eyed.

"There, no if you'll excuse me, I have some fishing to do. Thank you for visiting and have a good day." With that he tuned around and walked back to his fishing spot and grabbed the pole. The mares all looked to each other in shock before slowly turning around and heading back to Ponyville.

As they left earshot Discord appeared beside Cybe. "Did they buy it?"

"Oh they bought it alright." They high fived and Discord sat down.

"So, what should we do now while this is happening?" Discord asked.

"Probably just make sure ponies stay away from here for a days. You do grocery runs and I'll take care of the animals, we take turns delivering meals to Fluttershy." Discord nodded at the conditions and looked out at the water. "Of all the times I had to move in it had to be when Fluttershy was going into heat."


Meanwhile in Dressia, the other rogue cyborg was making his way to the factory's control room. As he walked two cyborgs aimed their blasters and ordered him to stand down. He ignored them and walked on. The two opened fire and the rogue dodged, turning back shoved his claw into one of their chests and threw the corpse onto the other.

He punched the control rooms door down and killed the humans inside. Walking over to the main computer he began to change all of the currently constructed cyborg's coding, making them loyal to him and the prototype. When a surviving scientist tried to crawl out of the room the rogue turned around and blasted him. "P-Pathet-et-etic."
