Chapter 9: Back at Base

Previous Chapter

"It's getting pretty late," Gus said slowly breaking the silence between the two Pegasi.

"Oh, Yeah! Guess we lost track of time, huh?" Rainbow Dash said with an slight hint of embarrassment showing on her face.

"See ya tomorrow, Rainbow!" Gus shouted as he waved a hoof good-bye to his rainbow manned cyan friend as he began flying off to Ponyville. Rainbow Dash quickly got back up and made a waving gesture with her hoof as well and flew off.

As Gus neared the ground he paced around the block hoping to see some signs of Shadey, unfortunately, he saw nor hide or hair of his shadowy comrade. Then a sudden hopeful thought cleared his dark clouded mind as he thought, Maybe he's already back at the underground base-thingy, with Blues.

As Gus neared the secret entrance of the base, he quietly entered and saw two guards on duty who took a swift spin and immediately gave him a stern glare, but  then there glares quickly eased and turned into suddenly warm smiles as they nodded to him and carried on with there jobs.

"Hey, Gus!" Blues said as he pleasantly greeted Gus and gave tender smile.

"Hey, Have you seen-" Gus began but was cut off by Blues.

"He's in the Lobby," Blues said quickly as Gus nodded his head and walked towards the Lobby.

"Thanks!"

"No problem!" Blues said waving a hoof to Gus as he trotted out the door.

"Shadey? You here?" Gus called out to hear the familiar voice of his childhood pal.

"Over here!" Shadey answered back as Gus turned to see him sparring with four large muscular stallions. What is he doing?? Gus thought to himself as he walked towards Shadey along with a few other ponies who were watching the mighty brawl.

"What are you doing?!" Gus shouted angrily at his friend.

"What do think? It's boring around here and I need to keep this Bod' in shape!" Shadey answered with a gleeful smirk as he took a fighting pose.

"What Bod'? That one? Ha! You couldn't even mould that into a shape if it were made of clay!" Gus replied jokingly as he laughed at his friends sudden irritated expression.

"Pffft, Quiet you," Shadey replied with his usual grin and the he asked Gus, "Wanna spar with us?"

"Meh, I Dunno, I have had enough 'Sparring' for the night," Gus finished with a groan as Shadey's ears suddenly perked up and he grew a huge grin.

"You got Laid?!" Shadey asked with a shocked expression on his muzzle as Gus face-hoofed and glared furiously at Shadey.

"No! You dumbshit! I Fuckin beat some guys senseless!!" Gus shouted in embarrassment as some of the recruits laughed at the sudden outburst.

"Ohhh, THAT kind of 'Sparring'." Shadey said as his grin grew even bigger as he began laughing uncontrollably.

"Hey wanna know something?" Gus grumbled to his laughing friend.

"HaHeh! W-what?Hee, hee!" Shadey asked barley able to hold his breath.

"Fuck you." Gus said with a heavy sigh as one of the rookies burst into laughter as Gus stomped up to the rookie then delivering a heavy punch to his gut.

"Ha-Ha-Ha! It's SOO funny now! Eh??" Gus asked tauntingly to the rookie who was now LITERALLY gasping for air from the sucker punch.

"I-it's not... F-funny.." The rookie replied with a soft groan as he got up and held his stomach.

"You can beat the shit out of these guys all you want, I'm goin to Fuckin bed.." Gus announced with a long yawn as he began trotting to his sleeping quarters.

"Yeah, totally got laid," Shadey said in a medium whisper as he giggled happily.

"I DIDN'T GET FUCKING LAID!!!!" Gus shouted from down the hall as the training room erupted with laughter once again, Gus opened the door to his room and lazily flopped on the bed.

"Guuh, I'm to bored to sleep, Hmm, where's my bag?" Gus said out loud as he looked for his bag, He looked under his bed and pulled out his laptop bag and unzipped it and took out a smooth shiny black laptop. Gus opened up the laptop and Turned it on. Hope didn't break or anything, Gus thought himself as a grin appeared on his face as the screen of the laptop lit up and showed his lock screen.

"Sweet!" Gus exclaimed joyfully as he entered his password and loaded up his desktop.

Gus watched a few let's plays, he watched a few Terraria videos and then slowly turned off his computer and went to sleep.

         -==============THE NEXT DAY...==============-

SLAM

"WAKE UP, GUS!! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!" Shadey shouted as the door made a huge noise, thus waking up Gus, Gus drowsily got up and then became immediately alert as he pulled out a 9mm Beretta from under his pillow.

"WHERE ARE THEY!!?" Gus shouted angrily as Shadey took nervous step back then burst into laughter.

"There's no one attacking us I'm guessing," Gus said with a lazy sigh as an irritated expression appeared on his face.

"Yeah, But it got you up! And by the way, why the fuck do you sleep with a gun under you're pillow?" Shadey said with a odd look on his muzzle.

"I Don't know, safety?"

"We live in the most heavily guarded place in the entire country." Shadey said as he sighed as motioned his hoof towards the door and glared back at Gus.

"Come on! This is important!" Shadey said with an impatient tone as Gus slowly got up and let out a soft yawn.

"What's so important that it can interrupt my beauty sleep?" Gus asked with a sly grin as Shadey ignored the joke and answered Gus's question.

"Blues is goin to tell that unicorn, Princess Twilight I think, about the underground organization!"
