  1. >You made a 180 degree turn and flew for Cloudsdale
  2. >Rainbow still hadn’t seen your new paintjob and boy, did you want to show it off!
  3. >Not that you knew what it looked like actually. Come to think of it, you hadn’t seen yourself yet
  4. [Jahvise, can you find me the nearest lake?]
  5. >**Sir, do you think it best to rely on my scanners? I do not have a functioning map as of yet and you may get lost while not in the suit if you forget where to go.**
  6. [Just do it.]
  7. >A  computerized sigh sounded from the helmet. **As you wish.**
  8. >The screen displayed a big arrow rotating to the left in the lower corner below your altitude. The text beneath it said ‘Wrong Way’
  9. >You turn to follow it
  10. >The rotating arrow ceased its movement and pointed straight ahead to a blue reservoir
  11. [Oh and Jahvise, remind me to soundproof you. I don’t want the outside world hearing everything you tell me.]
  12. >**Noted.**
  13. >Finally arriving at the lake, you are met with a flock…pride…flide of griffons. They seemed to be hunting fish and whatnot
  14. >Some were hunting animals in the forest next to the lake
  15. >Very few were actually relaxing or having fun much to your surprise
  16. >You figured if Gilda was any indicator of what the rest of the population was like, they were all laid back and lazy
  17. >She must just be the Rainbow Dash of the griffons
  18. >”Pffffft”
  19. >”Hey! Look at Mr Sunshine over there!”
  20. >A chorus of laughter rose from the crowd
  21. >You really need to see what the paint looks like
  22. >The ground around the lake gave way underneath you with each step
  23. >The screens displayed information telling you the ground was stable so you chalk it up to heavy suit
  24. >The water’s reflection of you was more blurry than you had hoped, but you still got a clear picture of yourself
  25. >Nice pattern of gold and blue
  26. [How did a pool of color manage THIS?]
  27. >You placed your fingers to your chin and turned your head around examining your imaginary beard
  28. [Not too shabby, not too shabby.]
  29. >Inside the helmet, you give yourself a “Not Bad”
  30. >**Sir I am inclined to warn you that you are about to be pushed into the--**
  31. >Suddenly you feel pressure on your back
  32. >You turn around in surprise to look at what happened
  33. >Maybe a bit too fast…
  34. >The fist of the armor smacks the griffon behind you a hundred feet away
  35. >They comically bounce off the trees, shoot into a rock, into the air, off a cloud, and into the lake
  36. [Heh heh.]
  37. >Your screen began flashing red
  38. >A arrow pointed to your right
  39. >You turn and are met with a huge branch to your face
  40. >”That’s for Toby!”
  41. >…
  42. >”…”
  43. [Um, ow?]
  44. >They bring the stick to your head again, harder
  45. >This time your head budges a thousandth of a inch and the stick smashes in half
  46. >You pick up the piece on the ground
  47. [I'm sorry, you seem to have dropped this.]
  48. >WAM!
  49. >You shove the stick in their face and send them flying just like ‘Toby’
  50. >Filthy bird-cats
  51. >Cats and birds were dirty enough on their own
  52. >Combined? Oh boy, now that’s a unruly creature
  53. >Griffons were already on your naughty list
  54. >The fact that these ones attacked you made you furious
  55. [Now what in your minds made you think it was a good idea to hit the man in a giant metal suit?]
  56. >The other griffons back up, shaken
  57. [Were you even thinking or just running on instinct again? If your first instinct is to act like a bunch of idiots then you should go back to,]
  58. >You stomp over to one and pick them up by their neck and tails
  59. >With a firm kick to their rump, they are sent in the direction of the P0nyville school
  60. >See Jahvise? You could remember stuff on your own
  61. [SCHOOL!]
  62. >”G-Get ‘em!”
  63. >The rest of the group lunges for you, talons outstretched and ready to claw at your soft, supple
  64. >Metal suit of high tech armor
  65. >SCRIIIIIIIIITCH!!
  66. >Oh no
  67. >No no no
  68. >You shove one out of your way and run over to the lake while they continue pounding on your back
  69. >Theres
  70. >A
  71. >Huge
  72. >Scratch
  73. >Its about 7 inches long and painfully visible on your arm
  74. [OK, yep.]
  75. >**Sir? I’m sensing a increase in your blood pressure and adrenaline. I suspect you are planning to actually fight now. Would you like me to devise a battle strategy for you?**
  76. [You’re dead.]
  77. >You hold up your hand
  78. [You’re cooked!]
  79. >The repulser on your palm glows bright pink as it hums with power
  80. >The griffons gawk at it, obviously not used to things much more advanced than a box with wheels
  81. >Your shoulder felt the kick of that blast
  82. >A pink energy beam shot from your hand and into the face of a griffon
  83. >You repeated this with the rest until the whole lakeside was smoking with Christmas dinner
  84. [Jahvise, how much does chicken sell for on the black market?]
  85. >**Sir, you have yet to program me with any information beyond what you already know.**
  86. [Oh yeah. Remind me to fix that later.]
  87. >**Noted.**
  88. >Having your paint scratched really ticked you off
  89. >Now you had to fix it
  90. >You fly off towards P0nyville to find the paint store
  91. >Painty’s Paint Emporium has recently been stocking everything-proof paint for metal
  92. >How convenient come to think of it
  93. >On the way there through the air, pegasi give you more strange looks
  94. >They’re just not used to seeing a human sized tin can flying next to them
  95. >Alright, its in sight now
  96. >You decide to land and flaunt your stuff on the rest of the way in the only way you know how
  97. >Pimp walking
  98. >”What IS that thing?”
  99. >”I don’t know. It walks on 2 legs kind of like…you don’t think!”
  100. >”A-Anon?”
  101. >A parade of ponies follow you to your destination
  102. >Its quite amusing
  103. >For that month you spent in your cave, everyp0ny avoided you
  104. >~”He smells funny”
  105. >~”He sleeps in that cave like a monster.”
  106. >They made fun of you
  107. >They did so much in that month just because you isolated yourself in a dark and dank cave for 30 days and nights
  108. >That’s no reason to talk down to someone!
  109. [Right Jahvise?]
  110. >**My honest opinion, Sir?**
  111. [Of course! Would I ever ask you to lie to me?]
  112. >**Right on both counts.**
  113. [Pff, yeah, well…you don’t have legs!]
  114. >**My circuits are tearing up.**
  115.  
  116. >Painty’s door swings open and slams into the wall when you push it open
  117. >You remember the hydraulics you put in the suit
  118. >Check your privilege you armor wearing beast
  119. [Oops…]
  120. >”Hey there fella! What can I get for yaHA HA WOW!!”
  121. >Painty runs over to you and grabs your arm between his hooves
  122. >”That’s one HECK of a scratch there fella! S’this whatcha came in for?”
  123. >Your faceplate lifts again to reveal your face
  124. You sure have a eye for this stuff, Painty.
  125. >”Oh hey Anon! Yeah, well when a can a’ paint is your cutie mark, you learn ta spot any mishaps with it.”
  126. >You eye him
  127. You’re…not freaked out by me? Everyp0ny has been pretty scared of the suit lately.
  128. >”Not at all Anon! I always thought you wou’ pull this off.”
  129. >Some strange feeling emerged in your chest
  130. >It was like a erection, but where your heart should be
  131. >A…heart erection
  132. >You remembered this feel
  133. >You felt them a lot on Earth
  134. >They stopped coming around though once you came to Equestria though. Nop0ny ever gave you this feel
  135. >The feel of knowing people were there for you
  136. >Even your best friends, for so long while coming up with and building this contraption, doubted you
  137. >Painty was a good p0ny
  138. >”Hows this?”
  139. >He emerged from a sea of shelves with a silver can with a gold trim
  140. >The silver, unlike most monochrome cans, signified the ‘everything-proof’ aspect of the paint
  141. >The gold on the can matched your suit perfectly
  142. That’s awesome Painty! Thanks. How much do I owe you?
  143. >He tossed the can to you
  144. >”How strong’s that there suit?”
  145. >You thought over
  146. Stupid strong.
  147. >”Well hows bout you help me reorgnahze and we call it even steven?”
  148. >Yeah, Paintys a good p0ny
