"So... with all the screaming from the last chapter out of the way, do you guys mind telling us how you made this kid?" Eddy asked
Twilight Sparkle looked away, embarrassed, and gave a nervous chuckle. Flash coughed into his fist, Double-D sighed as his cheeks flushed, and Sunset decided to be the one to make a proper introduction for the new android girl beside them.
"Everyone, this is Gamma. Our… daughter," she said, dropping a major bombshell on them.
"What the hell?" Chris spoke up, looking at the apparent daughter of Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, Flash Sentry, and Double-D.
"I second that!" Junior spoke up.
"Third!" Eddy followed suit.
"Fourth! Do I win anything?" Ed spoke up, only to get a punch to the head from Eddy.
"So, remind me again how you four were able to do this..." Chris asked.
"Well... it kinda happened after we got drunk last night. You know, when you guys brought us to Berry Punch's Pub to celebrate us becoming an official couple?" Sunset awkwardly explained as she, Flash, Twilight, and Double-D thought back to this morning.
"Yeah?" Ben tilted his head. "But what does that have to do with, well, her?"
He pointed at Gamma, who was silent from the attention she was getting.
"Well…" Sunset began, not exactly thrilled on telling them all how this had occurred.
*Flashback*
Twilight, Double-D, and Sunset were sprawled under one of the desks in Twilight's lab. The former of the three soon woke up in a daze before looking around and recognizing where she was.
"Sunset? Eddward?"
The sound of her girlfriend and boyfriend groaning beside her told her where they were as Sunset and Double-D got up, both of them looking like they were reeling from a splitting headache.
"Wow... I guess that's the last time we go out for a drink before one of our advanced scientific research sessions, huh?" Twilight said as Sunset grumbled.
"Ugh... It better be... It's a small miracle we made it back to your house and got to work at all!" Sunset then looked around at the mess. "What did we even end up doing...? I recall being really excited about... building something. And look at this mess... What did we do?"
"Thank goodness Flash was the designated driver..." Double-D then touched his lips. "And good heavens he is an impressive kisser..."
"I don't really remember... My head's fuzzy and my throat's dry..." Twilight then noticed someone handing her a glass of water. "Oh, thank you."
"You are welcome, Mother Unit Alpha. Your hydration level was low, so it seemed logical to bring you a glass of dihydrogen monoxide." The android girl handing Twilight the glass of water said. "Would Mother Unit Beta want one too?"
Twilight, Double-D, and Sunset stared at the girl for the longest time... then looked at each other nervously. What the hell did they even do last night?!
"Uh... who is this? Did I miss anything while you guys were going at it last night?" Flash asked as he had come down to check up on his girlfriends and boyfriend and saw their new friend.
"Oh, Father Unit Beta, would you like a glass as well?" The android girl asked as Flash looked at her awkwardly before nodding his head.
"Yeah, thanks..."
*End Flashback*
"Wow, that's one way to make a baby..." Eddy chuckled before being flicked across the head by Ben.
"There's a time and place for dirty jokes, Eddy. This is NOT one of those times or places."
"Sheesh, Mister Killjoy, much?"
Meanwhile, Rina was practically fawning out over the 'daughter,' who Twilight, Sunset, Flash, and Double-D had taken to calling Gamma.
"She's so adorable! I just want to squeeze her until she pops!"
"Easy there, Feisty Rina-Girl!" Rolf said, holding Rina back before she could overwhelm the poor android.
"Yeah, we don't know HOW we even did it. But somehow, we managed to create an independent A.I.!" Sunset explained.
"A.I... what does that mean, Double-D?" Ed asked.
"Artificial Intelligence, Ed."
"Oooooh... What's the A again?"
"She was made with every advanced project me, Double-D, and Sunset were working on. Even the one we discarded, Project: Proton Cannon." Twilight explained/
"So, she has a cannon just like Iron Man?! SHOW ME!" Ed asked excitedly as Gamma nodded.
"Certainly, Uncle Unit Ed." Gamma then turned around and her arm opened up mechanically to reveal a cannon in her palm, which fired a powerful proton blast that incinerated a housefly.
"Thanks, we were trying to get rid of that dumb thing..." Ben said both relieved the fly was dead and amazed at Gamma's display of power.
"Wait, nobody else is gonna address the fact that the little tyke called Ed 'Uncle'?" Junior questioned as Gamma looked at the Peach Creek Gang.
"Mother and Father Units Alpha and Beta informed me of all the people they were close to. As such, I have taken to classifying you as my Uncle Units and Aunt Units."
"Awwww, she's an egghead just like Double-D!" Rina cooed.
"Rolf would be most proud to have Little Robot Gamma-Girl learn of the old country!" Rolf declared as he stepped forward.
"Nah, if she's got so much power in her, we should train her in how to kick ass!" Ben said with a wild grin before turning to Chris. "Perhaps we can train her, Caw?"
"Oh, you bet your ass we're training her, Benny!"
Gamma was quite flustered at all the attention she was getting. Twilight and Sunset smiled, glad to see their friends had all been so accepting of her. They had already introduced her to the rest of the Mane Eight, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as well as Twilight's parents and older brother Shining Armor.
*Flashback*
The first of the Mane Eight to take a liking to Gamma was Pinkie Pie and, well, let's just say that she was VERY enthusiastic at the prospect of her friend having a kid.
"OHMIGOSHSHESSHOCUTE!SHE'SSOCUTETWILIGHT!THISISSOUNCREDIBELIEEABLE!DOESSHEHAVEAGODMOTHERYET?!CANIBEHERGODMOTHER?!"
As Pinkie prattled on and on, Gamma received a bluescreen which caused her parents to worry.
"P-Pinkie!"
Next up were Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, and the former was very interested in Gamma.
"Oh my! So, you're little Gamma?!"
"Affirmative," Gamma replied.
"Twilight told me about you on the phone this morning, but I couldn't believe it. Did they really make you? That's amazing! I can't believe those four now actually have a daughter!" Fluttershy said in excitement.
"And will you just look at you, you little cutie. You're simply adorable. Don't you agree Rainbow Dash? Isn't she just the cutest thing ever? Rainbow Dash?"
However, Fluttershy's question would go unanswered as Rainbow Dash was unresponsive. Looks like ended up crashing. Gamma was worried about her as Fluttershy proceeded to pick her up and held her like a 2x4.
"No no no! Don't worry, don't worry! This just happens every now and then. Rainbow is not very good with... um... this sort of thing. I'll take her to the infirmary. The doctor there knows her very well. She'll be fine."
Rarity and Applejack was an interesting encounter with the former holding the latter back as stars shined in Rarity's eyes that basically screamed "MUST! DESIGN! DRESS!"
"Don't just stand there! Run you fools!" Applejack cried as she held onto Rarity.
Thankfully the Cutie Mark Crusaders were a lot less hectic, although they definitely were not without their quirks. Sweetie Belle was the first to approach, although judging by her tone she wasn't exactly welcoming of the android.
"So, you're the new girl huh? Well, aren't you cute as a button? Bet you'll make lots of friends pretty easily."
"That is one of my high-priority objectives, yes," Gamma confirmed.
"Great, great. Just don't get too friendly with the silver girl with the glasses, okay? You got that?" Sweetie replied in a 'friendly' tone.
"Noted."
"Cool."
Scootaloo on the other hand was super excited to see a real functioning robot in the metaphorical flesh.
"Can you turn into a car?!" She asked with stars in her eyes.
"...Negative," Gamma said, rather bluntly.
Apple Bloom was rather shy with her first interaction with Gamma.
"So... uh... do you like apples?"
"I can process any kind of food to power my core. I do not particularly like or dislike apples. Though I can change my taste receptors to favor them if you'd like." Gamma answered.
"Oh... uh... then, what... do you like to do?" Apple Bloom asked.
"I'm currently quite interested in nuclear fusion and its use in future technology. We could compare notes on this subject if you wish. What's your opinion on proton fusion?"
"Um..."
Well, this is awkward.
"Do you like Pokémon?" Apple Bloom asked, breaking the tension.
"My favorite is Rotom!" Gamma answered, her eyes lighting up.
Apple Bloom smiled back. "My favorite is Litten! Well, of the new starters at least. Nothing beats the original fire starter, Charmander!"
Well, would you look at that? What once was something awkward got turned around into the start of a beautiful friendship.
*End Flashback*
Though, it had been pretty awkward when Gamma was introduced to Twilight's family...
*Flashback*
"Oh my gosh, Twilight, she's adorable!" Twilight Velvet gushed. "But of course, she is! She's your daughter, after all!"
"G-Geez, mom, stop it. Like I said, Gamma's not really, well, um...I mean..."
"Oh, who cares! This is still so very precious!" Velvet then closed her eyes with a sickeningly sweet smile. "I never would've guessed I'd get to meet one of my grandchildren like this! I've been so looking forward to it! Really, to think the first to have children would be our YOUNGEST CHILD."
Despite Velvet not looking at him, Shining Armor could tell that she was looking at him. Night Light sweat-dropped at his wife's words but then she continued.
"Even though EVERYBODY knows a certain someone's had a huge CRUSH on a certain childhood friend for AGES now. But he's too much of a WIMP to have a serious conversation with her for more than five minutes."
Shining felt himself get punched metaphysically by his mother's words as everyone else cringed, but Velvet kept going with what was effectively metaphysical manslaughter.
"And of course, when you're too CHICKEN to do even that, well then what are the chances of having children? ZERO! NADA! NOTHING! Without the guts to GO OUT THERE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN your love life will be nothing more than awkward silence and shaking knees!"
Shining wheezed as he felt like his mother had just stabbed him with a rusty knife and twisted it to make it hurt more. It was like his mother decided to become a serial killer for the day and he was the main victim which she will slaughter for the morbid entertainment of the audience.
Even Night Light wheezed out when his wife decided to verbally massacre his boy. That kind of verbal slaughter is something only the most talented and sadistic of mothers could achieve.
"Mom, please..."
"So, in short, I'm happy to meet you, Gamma Dear~." Velvet said sweetly.
"The pleasure is all mine, Grandmother Unit." Gamma said courteously, not even noticing how Velvet had been secretly verbally thrashing her 'Uncle Unit'.
"Oh, aren't you just a peach! How about we sit down and have some tea, hm?"
*End Flashback*
"When Mom was ripping into Shining... I couldn't help but feel some kind of gross presence, though..." Twilight worriedly said.
"Strange, I felt it as well..." Double-D said nervously.
"I'm sure it was nothing, you guys. Probably just a nervous feeling?" Rina suggested as Twilight hummed, unsure of what to say.
"I've seen the recording from Gamma's drive," Junior said, watching the recording again through a tablet that Gamma had given her. "Holy shit, that mother of yours is just fucking vicious. I'm pretty sure she just annihilated his soul into the next plane of existence with that."
"Hey, language!" Flash scolded as he covered his new daughter's ears.
"She's an android with access to the Internet, Flash! She already knows what swear words are!"
"Affirmative, Aunt Unit Junior. Due to my intricate connection to the World Wide Web, I am well-versed in various topics. This includes curse words such as 'Fuck,' 'Damn,' 'Bitch…'"
Gamma went on and on, heedless of the pleas of her four parents and everyone else.
"Are you happy?" Double-D glowered.
"I'm satisfied," Junior answered with a cheeky grin, feeling a laugh coming on.
Something told them that with the new addition of Gamma Shimmer-Sparkle-Sentry-Skyrise, their lives would be even more hectic.
*Meanwhile*
The dark figure was watching Twilight Velvet verbally thrash Shining Armor indirectly while grinning. After his grunting reached a climax, he sighed in relief and stood up, his bare-naked frame showing the many hideous demonic markings as well as his lean muscular, and imposing frame, his hands were crooked claws, and his feet had black veins running up to the thigh area.
"A woman after my own heart... She'll make an excellent Bride..."
He then walked over to a man, malnourished and broken looking, tied up in chains held by demonic imps who were constantly speaking venomous jeers at him.
"You won't...won't get away with this...you madman..."
The dark figure held out his clawed hand and manifested an ornate Axe that looked like it was forged from volcanic rock. His red eyes glared down at the broken man before him.
"The world...will not be ruled by you..."
"No..." The dark figure said. "I WILL CURE IT!"
Raising the Axe, the dark figure brought it down, relishing as the man's body was torn apart, blood spraying everywhere as a euphoric feeling filled the figure, who then walked off to a chamber to don his armor.
"Yes...the Brother Warriors have returned and with them, no doubt their allies...including Revelation and Razgriz. This time, old friends...you will NOT defy me!"
Putting on his armor, which clung to him like living metallic flesh, he donned an obsidian cape as he pressed two blood-stained fingers to the torso of the armor, writing a crimson 'V' shape that glowed brightly.
"So says...VELHALLEN BEO!"
Bet you thought it was just gonna be wholesome stuff with the introduction of Gamma, didn't you? Nope, we're bringing in the Big Bad in here!
Don't worry, Velhallen Beo won't make any moves...not yet, at least. But when he does, it'll be something!
