Later that night, the four arrived at a seemingly abandoned rock rang the doorbell to the result of a voice responsing. "You're late, Onst. Is the garage door broken again?" Equstria replied "No, it appears to have been stolen. However, we have come here to discuss with you the Harmony Elements." There was a buzz and the door creeked open. Inside stood a disheveled-looked Pinkie Pie, known mainly in this timeline as Dr. Pie.
"So there are others searching for the fabled Elements. Perhaps we may be able to help each other. Follow me downstairs. Tell Ms. Sparkle to wait in the den." The other three followed Dr. Pie down to the basement, to which they discovered a dingy laboratory reeking of blood and smoke. "Please excuse the mess. What you see here is my improvement of a cave-dwelling pony. She appears to worship rocks, which brought her to snoop around outside and steal my rocks." On the slab laid a pony appearing more machine than pony. Suddenly she awoke, her eyes glowing neon red. "GREETINGS. I AM RARITY MK. 4, PREPARED FOR ASSISTANCE." Sweet Leaf was not impressed. "Waitaminute, aren't you the same unicorn who kept raiding my crops?" she inquired RARITY MK. 4. "AFFIRMATIVE," replied RARITY MK. 4, WHAT WAS ONCE A ROUTINE OF SURVIVAL IS NOW FOR THE PLACATION OF MY MASTER."
"Now, what information do you have of the Harmony Elements thus far?" asked Dr. Pie. "Well, currently we are searching for members that represent the traits of loyalty, kindness, laughter, generousity and honesty. That, and a really magical pony," explained Equatria. "Hmmm, dammit," muttered Dr. Pie. "Clearly we are looking for completely different Harmony Elements here. However, perhaps RARITY MK. 4 can help you with the genorousity part. Besides, her outdoors experience could prove useful for her beta testing." And so they left.
