Dash Impossible

It was midnight, pitch black and Dash was flying near Mach 1 with her wingponies. She had to shout to make herself heard over the roar of the wind. She and her wingponies were wearing black.

"Remember the plan! We get in, get the VIP, then get out!"

The two wingponies nodded.

"Ok, follow my lead!" Dash turned sharply down, making sure not to break the sound barrier. She and the wingponies flared their wings and braked sharply, coming to a halt 10 feet above the roof of the 20 story Canterlot skyscraper.

"Remember, silence." Dash pulled on the Cloud Step boots, so named because the outside of which was lined with condensed clouds, meaning the boots made no noise. The wingponies did the same.

Cue Mission Impossible Music

Dash nodded to the first wingpony, a stallion, who pulled out a blowtorch and set about removing a grille from a ventilation duct. Gently laying it on the ground, they made their way down the diagonal air vent towards the buildings office wing.

"Uh, now I know what a TV dinner feels like." Dash said, crawling through the vent. She held up a hoof, indicating to the others to stop. She looked down through the grille into a bathroom.

"Ok, now it gets real." she lifted the vent up and slid it forward before dropping into the bathroom. Behind her, the second wingpony, a mare, dropped down. Dash turned to the stallion still in the vent.

"You go through the vents, make your way to the LZ." she whispered. The stallion nodded and slid the grille back into place before continuing.

Dash walked forward out the bathroom, and raised a wing mounted tazer. She and the wingpony made their way through the halls, occasionally ducking through doorways when there were guards coming. Eventually they reached the room they were looking for. They looked through the tinted window and saw three ponies around the VIP, who was tied up in a ball on the ground.

"Ok, I take the two on the right, you take the third one." Dash said.

The wingpony nodded, and Dash kicked down the door. She turned and stopped for a second, uttering a single word filled with surprise.

"Twilight."

The purple pony turned in time to see Dash fire the tazer, 2 small wires firing out and hitting the stallion to Twilight's right, making him convulse and drop to the ground. The wingpony took out the other bodyguard with a quick buck to the head and Twilight was left looking shocked at the new arrivals. The VIP muffled something through a gag, wondering what was going on.

"Damn it!" Twilight shouted, before a bright light filled the room. Dash realised what she was doing and jumped forward, but too late. Twilight disappeared in a ball of light.

"Aw hay, we've got to hurry." Dash moved forward and threw the VIP over her back. As soon as she did so, an alarm started shrieking and flashing red lights lit up along the hallway. "Hurry!" Dash shouted to the wingpony. They ran down the corridor towards the bathroom they had entered, but were cut off by stallions in black suits. They ran to the stair access and made their way up to the roof, unable to fly in the cramped stairwell.

Dash broke onto the roof and saw the final wingpony at the airship landing spot. He had set up a complicated harness and was ready to fly. Dash laid the VIP on the stretcher attached to 2 harnesses and told the final wingpony to get the other harness on.

A moment later and they were ready, the VIP hanging on the stretcher between the wingponies. Dash flared her wings ready to fly, but as she jumped into the air to make a getaway she felt a burst of energy hit her wings. The faltered and she fell to the ground. The wingponies looked at her worriedly.

"GO!" Dash shouted to them, standing up again. As they flew over the side of the building Dash turned and saw Twilight, her horn lit up. A dozen bodyguards stood around her in a semicircle, stoping Dash from running. She backed up until she felt her back leg go over the edge and stopped.

"It ends here Dash." Twilight said menacingly.

"Yep." Dash said. She did a backflip backwards, off the building. Twilight gaped. Her magic had paralyzed Dash's wings, she couldn't fly. Twilight ran over and looked down. Dash was spiraling towards the floor, going faster and faster. Then from nowhere came 2 blue blurs and Dash was plucked out of the air. Twilight used her magic to see closer, and saw Dash on the backs of her 2 wingponies, next to the VIP. Dash saw her looking and stuck her tonge out, mouthing Not this time. Twilight shouted in frustration.
