Hoity Toity looked out into the blizzard as his helicopter landed. Not far away he could see dozens of red lights outlining some enormous object buried beneath the ice of the frozen north, illuminating several silhouettes as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents prepared equipment. The chopper landed at the end of a long path of lights and began powering down. As Hoity jumped out of the helicopter into the biting cold wind, the agent in charge approached from the far end of the trail.

“I apologize for dragging you all the way up here sir, but whatever this is it’s huge!” the stallion shouted over the roaring wind as Hoity hugged his winter gear closer to his body for warmth.

“It had better be. Are you almost done mapping it out?!” Hoity asked loudly as he made his way towards the center of the lights.

“Not even close!” the agent told Hoity, following him. “Your chopper just landed on what looked like a neck on the radar!” he continued, catching his superior’s attention.

Hoity looked back the helicopter and judged the distance from it to the main array of lights. “How are we getting inside?!” he asked, urgency in his voice.

“We’re setting up an Infiltrator now!” the agent shouted, gesturing at a group of agents setting up a small tower like machine in the snow.

Hoity watched as they flipped a switch making a large circle attached to the rest of the machine by a steel arm. A small pen like object was attached to the bottom of the extended circle and connected to the main tower by a long black cord. An agent pressed a button on the tower and the pen like object emitted a red laser and began spinning around the circle, cutting a hole through the ice and into the object below.

Hoity waited with the other agents, watching with great anticipation as the laser cut deeper. After nearly fifteen minutes, the ice that remained in the hole fell away and a dull metallic clang could be heard from the depths of the hole.

Once the laser was shut off and moved, Hoity approached the opening and peered into the darkness. “ I need some light!” he ordered, turning to the group. The agent he’d met at the chopper cracked a green glow stick and threw it down the hole. They watched as the green light fell nearly twenty feet before clattering to a solid surface below. “Get some rope!” Hoity shouted over the wind.

“Sir, it might not be safe down there!” the other agent shouted back.

“This could be the single most important discovery of the twenty-first century! The longer it sits here, the more in danger it is! Get some rope!” Hoity ordered again. His subordinate nodded and left, returning quickly with climbing equipment. The other Agents set about hammering poles into the ground and tying the rope to them.

Once they were done Hoity fastened a rope to himself. “Just you and me!” he told the stallion in charge. “The rest of you continue setting a perimeter!” Hoity ordered to the others. Hoity and the lead agent descended into the hole for twenty-feet, before their feet came into contact with an uneven surface. The sound of the wind had died down.

Hoity grabbed a flashlight off of his belt and turned it on, pointing it in front of him. The light revealed a rusty metal hallway leading further into the strange frozen structure. Hoity and the other agent looked around for some kind of sign. “Control room is this way,” the agent said pointing at a sign that appeared to be on the wall to their left attached to what looked like a steel beam. Hoity noted that the sign was sideways.

“Whatever this structure is, it’s not upright,” he pointed out as the pair started down the hall to the control room. The trip was short and the frozen door shattered off of it’s hinges, which were above the door, as they pushed it open. One look inside the room confirmed Hoity’s earlier remark. The viewing window was about thirty feet below them and most of the consoles were aligned up and down the walls.

“What in Celestia’s name is this?” the agent asked as he marveled at the strangeness of side ways room.

“I believe this is an old Minotaur War weapon. Something from H.Y.D.R.A. most likely,” Hoity pointed out as he used started climbing down towards the main control console in front of the window.

The other agent cracked another glow stick and threw it ahead of his superior. “What is that?” he asked as it landed on the glass surface below.

Hoity looked where the glow stick had landed and smiled. Just a few feet from the light source he could see a round metallic object covered in a thin layer of ice. It’s multi-colored surface tinted green by the glowstick. “That is what we’re looking for,” he said as he finished climbing down to the remarkably thick glass.

The ice below the glass was thick as well. Hoity approached the object as the glowstick died, his own flashlight illuminating the true colors of it. A shield with rings of White and Red surrounding a white sun in a final blue circle. The sun was Celestia’s sun, the same design that was used in the Equestrian flag.

“Get an ice pick down here now!” Hoity ordered as he stood up. The other agent nodded as he put his flashlight on his belt and started climbing down to bring the tool to Hoity. The swinging flashlight on the agents belt illuminated the area around Hoity. Hoity turned back to the shield when something in the pilots seat caught his eye.

Hoity pointed his own flashlight at the ponyshaped object and his eyes went wide as he registered the uniform that matched the shield at his feet. He walked towards the pony in the seat slowly as his partner joined him.

“Sir I have the pick,” the agent informed, confused by his bosses behavior. The Agent walked up behind Hoity and looked over his shoulder, his jaw dropping at what he saw. “Sir is that who I think it is?” he asked in awe.

“Yes it is,” Hoity replied in bewilderment. “Captain Equestria.”

Author's Note

And now for my first MLPU story written as Anthro from the beginning. Huzzah!

Okay, it shouldn't be too hard to guess where the story is going from here, but understand this.

NO! FUCKING! MONTAGING! I will not write a performance montage or montage the battles against Hydra. That didn't work in the movie and it would work even less in a written format. I'm also not going to try and trick you in the middle of the story and make you think the star of the story dies in a fiery explosion. You wouldn't believe it and I would be dissapointed if you did. I'll build up suspense and what not, but no bs.

Okay got that out of my system. Leave comments, tell me what I'm doing wrong, what I'm doing right, troll me, start unrelated conversations, whatever.

Stay Tuned.
