Oops!  I cantered, circling to see Gizmo.  My eyes widened as I took in the surgical scars and the mechanical wings.  Gizmo was a cyberpony.  Almost certainly a refugee from Stable 101.

Gizmo spun, spreading out his wings to slash at me.  I dodged to the side, the blades of those wings whisking through the air inches from my eyes.  I couldn’t guess if those cybernetic wings would actually allow the earth pony to fly like a pegasus, but the feathers were razor sharp.

Gizmo somersaulted, his wings lifting and slicing through the air at me as I dove for cover, casting about for something to use as a weapon.  Gizmo spun again and bucked, turning the chair I had moved behind into a battering ram that knocked me over.  My armor took the blow, leaving me winded but unhurt.

“Gizmo, stop playing with your food,” Raspberry Tart ordered lazily.  “Just finish her already.”

I scrambled for the door.  Gizmo jumped up onto a couch and leapt into the air, spreading out his wings.  Maybe he couldn’t actually fly with them, but they allowed him to glide.  He swooped across the room and landed on me with all hooves, driving me to the floor.

I focused, my horn glowing.  I was weak and weaponless.  But I’d fought my way through Canterlot, dammit.  And Old Olneigh.  There was no way I was going to fall to some two-bit crook’s augmented mook!

I felt a hoof press down against the back of my head as Gizmo shifted so he could angle a wing at my neck.  Then I heard the squelching sound as I telekinetically drove my screwdriver down through his ear and into his brain.

Gizmo collapsed off me, twitching.  It took him almost a minute to die.
