"I would prefer it if we waited for the other two to get down here first before we begin." He looked at Purple. "And, just a warning- Yavolin hasn't gotten used to his... new form yet. Therefore, he may try to trick you into... strong emotions... so he can feed off of them. I will get my hooves on him later, but until then... there's not a lot I can do."

[Flying Ace 142]

Ace looked from Purple then to Meta, strong emotions? oh, OH don't laugh, don't laugh "oh I get whats going on,hahaha sorry, sorry the thought is to silly for me hahaha." you laughed, she will probly smack you and you deserve it...even if it is kinda funny hahahaha

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

Meta glared at Ace. "No need to make her uncomfortable. And it's just a warning; I doubt that's what happened... what probably happened is that you goofed up, and like all mares, she got embarassed about it." He paused. "I wonder what's taking the others so long..."

[Blitz 127]

"Yeah, I think I got that message." She sat down. That was probably the most awkward moment of my life. She hid a little bit behind her mane. Ugh, why am I even still here? I'm guessing the only reason they trapped me in the first place is because those stupid changelings got me by mistake. She couldn't think of anything that she could do that would be even remotely helpful to them.

[Nicolae Carpathia 140]

Yavolin reverted back to his normal self he will hear about this latter he went to his room and started to fall asleep he was slightly hungry."That stupid mare didn't even fill me ug, these changelings make it look so easy". Yavolin mumbled to himself.

[Flying Ace 142]

Meta glared at Ace. "No need to make her uncomfortable. And it's just a warning; I doubt that's what happened... what probably happened is that you goofed up, and like all mares, she got embarassed about it." He paused. "I wonder what's taking the others so long..."

 

"Sorry Purple I just needed to laugh after all the dark stuff that happened. Sorry if I made you uncomfteble." Ace scratched the back of his head nervesly then looked over at Meta "I saw Draco in the hall but I don't know where YAvolin is...uh did he change his apperince to me?"

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

Meta sighed. "No. No, he didn't. Anyways, I might as well start talking."

He laid out a map of the city with several notes in red. "I have found a weakness in the defenses of the changelings. If we were to go through here," he pointed, "we would be able to get in the city. Once there, we need to take over a building in the city, and then we use this building as a base to weaken defenses, allowing us access to the lab, where it is being subjected to experimentation. After we get the plant, I need someone to put this machine," He took out what looked like a tape recorder "On thei databases. We can work out a plan from there." He paused to take a breath.

"I'll put it on their databases. Its time I did somthing useful...do you know what types of experimentation goes on in there?" Ace looked at the strange device on the table time I became useful instead of having to be saved all the time and gettin gknocked out.

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

"Sorry Ace, but that's one of the last things we're going to do. But another reason..." He looked at each of them. "We will be beginning training tomorrow. Meet me on the deck, 9 am. It's time we start putting some skill you ponies so I don't have to work with a bunch of - nevermind. Well, anyways, if you see Draco and Yavolin, send them in here, please."

[dragon4111 914]

"I've been here you know," Draco said while steppingout of the shadows "You ren't the only one to be able to hide in the shadows Meta Knight and not be noticed by anypony you know" Draco said as helooked at everypony.

(Sorry everypony i've been alittle busy)

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

"Ah, yes. But that wasn't the only reason why I wanted to see you."

When the other two had left, he stated, flatly, "Yavolin transformed into you in an attempt to prey on Purplepower." When he started to build up with rage, he quickly said, "Don't go all out on him yet. He can't control it. I will be talking to him later, but in the meantime, try to be respe- more respectful towards Purplepower. She may still see it as that you did it, though my warning to her earlier should have helped." He turned back to his work. "If you see Yavolin again sometime tonight, then please send him down here."

[dragon4111 914]

"Of course I've had a feeling that he might of tried something," Draco said as he shrugged his shoulders. "I'll go apologize to Purple and explain to her what had happened alright" Draco said as he looked at the map. "Hmm the next one will have more forifications"

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

Meta gazed at the map. "That will probably be true. I know the location of the last ingrediant, but I would prefer to do that target last..." He sat back and began pacing. "Hmm... well, I need to fix the Windmaker Staff. Again. Celestia, it's like the artificers of old designed it to break after one use." He put his visor back on and began to get to work, fusing the staff back together with magic.

[dragon4111 914]

"I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't break after one use" Draco said as he looked at the staff. Draco looked at the staff "Isn't there supposed to be a jewel that saturated in the wind elemental essence so that the magic of the very staff can channel it's magic properly?" Draco asked "I'm no unicorn but I'm just saying" Draco said once more.

[Flying Ace 142]

"Hey, sorry for making you feel uncomfpteble Purple, I shoudn't have laughed at you." Ace looked at the ground nervesly "was it that embarresing? I kinda understand why Yavolin did what he did but still was it embarrisien?" shes trying to hide behind her mane yeah I think it was that embarrisian.

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

Meta smiled. "There is one. It's still on the end of one of the pieces." He showed him the rod with a bluish-white color, then put it down. "Go get some sleep, old friend. We have quite a day tomorrow." He stopped to check the fuse of the pieces. It was perfect- or as perfect as ponily possible, anyways.

[dragon4111 914]

"Why not put a*yawns* sorry about that anyhow why not put on a wait hold on see the indent tation here maybe a zebra talisman for sturdier matrial" Draco yawned once more as he walked down to his room thinking "now I'm discussing magic what next I'm going to do a jig sheesh"

[Blitz 127]

"Oh, no, it wasn't you. And it wasn't really embarrassing, more like surprising. Nopony had ever said anything like that to me before, so I really didn't know how to react." Purplepower looked at him. "And, now that I think about it, it does sound pretty funny." Way to go, stupid brain. You really sound dumb now.

[Flying Ace 142]

"heheh it kinda was even though I didn't see it" Ace looked at her "and what do you mean you never had anypony talk to you like that? don't you have any friends? Besides Pinkie Pie she makes friends with everypony even if we want to have friends or not." Ace chuckled slightly.

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

A zebra tailsman... wait... if that really is what it, then... He took out five more artifacts, each with a similar indent. When they were placed together, the tailsman indent was complete, and there on the table, was the shattered remains of...

Celestia... it can't be! It has been gone for over a thousand years!

 

On the table before him was the Delta Sword- the sword that was used by the princesses to banish King Sombra, the literal destroyer of evil. If his eyes weren't playing tricks on him... they actually then stood a chance. Sure, it was missing a piece, and sure, the other five pieces were shattered, but, with time...

 

I can't believe this... the worlds most powerful artifact, here? And... now? And how can I be sure that the changelings don't find out?

That's it. This is a secret for my mind only. No one else shall know... until the final battle.

 

He separated the pieces, and started to pace. He kept pacing...

[Nicolae Carpathia 140]

Yavolin happen to come into the room he over heard what was said."Tell me what does this sword do"? Yavolin knew meta knight wanted to see him but as soon as he saw the sword everything in his mind went ablaze. "Take the sword! take the blasted sword!". Yavolin had a pain look on his face.

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

He started, drew his sword, and pointed it at Yavolin. He then sheathed it. "This...? I will not tell you, but do not think it is because of trust, but of security. It's not even close to being fully formed." He turned away. "And about why I wanted to see you... I can't have you messing with everyone's feelings. It just leads to confusion, which contradicts our goal. I can train you about suppressing the urges, but you can't do that again. OK?"

 

(And he didn't say a word. Italics means thoughts. And he can cloak his mind when he wants to.)

Yavolins mind was still in a blaze then he all he could hear were voices. He jumped Meta knight for no reason he could no longer help himself he was forced to because of the voices he was acting like a changeling but he didn't want to act like one because he knew he was still him.

(There is no sword. It's in pieces. Please edit above post.)

 

There was a flash of light, and Yavolin fell to the ground with a gash along his leg. "Exactly my point!" He took out a rod from his artifact collection, and zapped him. His eyes unfocused and refocused. The artifact would temporarily- say, a week- sever his connection with the hive mind, allowing him to think like a pony without it's interference.

[Blitz 127]

"Friends, yeah, but I'm pretty sure that they don't normally say weird stuff like that." Weird really wasn't the best word you could have picked at that moment. Purplepower laughed a little. "Yeah, Pinkie Pie is pretty friendly. And weird. Lets not forget weird."
