One-Wing Chronicles Book 4: A Stand Alone Conplex

The Laughing Mare Attacks

"I'll Protect You With My Life!"

By Hamon240

"Darn when are those guards going to get here?!" Badcop yelled.

"Now apparently." Goodcop replied as a truck with Section 9's logo drove up.

"Ahh, good." Badcop commented as he climbed into the spider mech he ordered.

"Do you really think that wasn't a risk?" Goodcop asked.

"I got it because I'm not taking any chances." Badcop answered.

"Oh that's the BIGGEST chance you could have taken!" they heard the Sakamoto's voice come form one of the seven robots sent to them.

"Darn it! So it is you. The Infamous Laughing Mare!" Badcop yelled.

"So what do you have to gain from being with One-Wing?" Goodcop said.

"Easy, protection from you fools in exchange I was to hack Canterlot's database and extract all the files I could find on the Elements of Harmony."

"What a small price for a service like that." Badcop remarked.

"Oh shut up." Sakamoto said and had the robot he hacked shoot the other six. "Now to begin my attack." Sakamoto laughed.

"I'm soooo bored..." Scootaloo moaned.

"Yea kid. But that won't change that we have to stay here, it's for our protection. (Because no one would check our houses first.)" Rainbow said. "Hey! Where's your father?" Dash asked her adopted daughter after a moment.

"I-I don't know." Scootaloo stammered as she noticed Starseeker was missing. The barn door swung in the breeze as if it had been opened.

"Celestria d—it!" Dash yelled. "He better not get himself killed!"

Star was about 3 miles from Sweet Apple by now, he used his telepathy to hear what was going on in Pinkie's hiding place.

"I hope they know what they are doing, and why isn't the Major there with them?" He thought. "And all these powers...telepathy, teleportation at small distances...and most of all magic."

As he rushed to the rescue, he thought about what may be causing him to be able to use all these abilities. Then he looked down into a puddle of water. His eyes, glowed the same greenish blue as a SOLDIER Division guard that had Jenova's cells implanted in him.

"How can this be? SOLDIER stopped the Jenova experiments way before I joined. The only ones with Jenova cells now a days are members of the royal family. So just who am I?" Star thought as he stared. But he soon snapped back to reality. "I need to get a move on if I want to save Pinkie Pie and those Cyber Security guys."

"Starseeker is going to be gone for awhile, but he will return." a voice in the corner of the barn said.

"Aw man, how d' ya ponies keep gettin' in here?" Aj moaned.

"I told you this wasn't the best place for us to hide." Dash remarked. "Hey Aeris." she called to the flower pony.

"Hi Dash. This is important. There is a reason I've agreed to follow you and your friends. Star has told you the Jenova, has he not?" Aeris asked Twilight.

"Yes he has." Twi replied. "So you know the events of Final Fantasy VII are more or less true, except for a few minor differences?" Aeris continued.

"Right." Twilight said.

"Do ya know what they're sayin'?" Applejack asked Rarity.

"You expect me to know?" Rarity replied, making sure not to rock her sleeping child. "Now stop making me yell so I don't wake up poor Generous Soul."

"Well after Sephiroth was defeated, my greatest grandmother, Aerith left a prophecy. It said one that is a decedent of the hero, shall meet the decedent of the evil. He and six will break the limit of power and defeat the darkness in a very rough hour." Aeris said. "I believe Star is the hero and you 4, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, are the six."

"Wasn't seeing that a mile away." Aj mumbled.

"Yes! We get to go on an adventure!" Dash exclaimed.

"Not just you. The picture in the archives also shows Princess Luna, me, and a pony with a black mane that wears a blue shirt and carries a sword with a black hilt." Aeris commented.

"I wonder who that could be." Twilight said.

"You'll meet him in due time. Come back when you have meet him and you've all have children.' Aeris said as she walked out the door.

"She's a weird one..." Aj said.

"Yes, but we must trust her." Twilight remarked. "It could be our only chance."

Badcop hid behind an over turned table, his mech damaged beyond any repair he could attempt at the moment. He angerly shot at the hacked robot with his rotary cannon.

"Darn you! DIE ALREADY!" Badcop yelled as it got back up. "It's all yours kid, I'm outta bullets!' He called to Goodcop.

"Great, as if I wasn't busy enough." Goodcop thought. "Don't worry Pinkie, I'm here. And I'll protect you with my life." he said.

"I-I know you will.' Pinkie replied as she hid in the corner.

"Come at me bro!" Goodcop yelled at the hacked robot.

"Oh, I'm coming." Sakamoto replied. Goodcop started to fire his old revolver at the robot. But his antique weapon could only do so much against the robot's advanced armor. As his gun clicked he realized he only had those six rounds, he didn't pack any spares. Goodcop quickly shielded Pinkie with his body.

"You're going to have to kill me first."

"That isn't a problem." Sakamoto replied as he raised to robot's gun to Goodcop's forehead.

"I always thought this job was going to be the end of at a young age." Goodcop thought.

"Bye Pinkie, I love you. I'm sorry I couldn't do more to protect you..." Goodcop said. Just then, there was a electronic buzz, as Starseeker teleported in and cut Sakamoto's robot in half.

"W-who are...?" Goodcop stammered.

"Starseeker. But you'll know me as High Commander." Star answered. "Now where is the Major?"

"She's in the Warehouse District. The Chief told her that he tracked The Laughing Mare to that location, sir." Goodcop said.

"Thanks. Oh and kid, you keep my friend safe. Pinkie, you better hang on to him, he's a keeper." Star said as he teleported out so Badcop wouldn't ask questions. Speaking of which Badcop then walked around the corner.

"What the hell is going on here?" he said. Then he noticed that Pinkie had her face buried into Goodcop's chest as he petted her head. "Am I interrupting something?" he asked.

"No. I'm taking Pinkie back to her friends, and I'll stay there. You'd better get a report ready for the chief." Goodcop said as he helped Pinkie to her feet and walked her to the van.

"Umm, ok then." Badcop said as they drove off.

"Alright Major be careful." the Chief said over the radio.

"Read ya clearly chief." the Major replied. Then she turned around. "I thought I told you not to interfere." she said to Starseeker.

"Last I checked you aren't in a position to give me orders." Star replied. "You're a MAJOR, I'm HIGH COMMANDER, got it memorized?"

"Yea, whatever." the Major replied. "So what's the plan?"

"Is he in this warehouse?" Star asked.

"Yes, sir." Major said.

"You go in the front, and I'll cover you from the back." Star replied.

"A two sided attack, eh? If you say so." Major said.

Sakamoto tried to gather his stuff but it was too late, the Major busted in the front door.

"Hooves up Laughing Mare!" she yelled.

"Oh no, it's the fearless Major of Section 9..." Sakamoto said sarcastically as he reached for a pistol under his keyboard. \

"I said hooves up!" The Major repeated.

"Of course." Sakamoto said with a smile as he raised his pistol. "But only if you put your weapon down!" he added with a laugh.
