Pony Alert 1

Chapter 6: Allied Equestria 3: Act on Pinkie sense

Locaition: Equestrian mountains, secret CLF base.

Could this day become any worse? Hardly, first they lose Twilight because of her and then her stupid father appears out of nowhere and tells her to go home. How could he still treat her like a filly, he never understood her. But she had a way to fix everything. She would save Twilight and by doing so she would redeem her mistakes. And her father would see that she was no longer a filly.

Spotting the base was easy. The trees and mountains didn't hid well from spectators above. It was a tiny base actually, only some ponies standing guard around two giant towers. The towers where unlike anything she had seen before. A giant metal pole surrounded with rings and on top of it where a globe of some sorts.

Upon closer inspection of the base she saw that behind the towers was a giant cave. Inside it where several coal power plants, a big command center, barracks and several different munitions. She also saw a big construction stable that currently was working on another of the big towers.

"Hmm, how in Equestria shall i get in there?"

She flew a bit lower, but not low enough to get spotted. All of a sudden one of the big towers started to spark violently.

"That can't be good."

Rainbow immediately flew away but it was too late.

"Bzzzzzzt"

"Aaargh my wing!" The powerful lightning had missed her with an inch but still her wing was badly burned. She started to lose height and crashed violently into a snowdrift under the trees.

"What was that!?" one of the Pegasi at the tower said.

"Probably just a bird, these things are programmed to attack anything who doesn't wear our colors."Another guard replied.

"Hehe right, poor thing probably toasted now. By the way did you see the mare we captured yesterday?"

"The unicorn?"

"No the donkey.. of course I meant the unicorn!"

"What about her?"

"She was a real cutie, do you think the captain will let us have a round at her?"

"No way. We got strict orders to send all our prisoners back to Solar territory. Apparently Celestia or somepony big is in need of prisoners."

"C´mon i wont hurt her, I'l be gentle."

"Ha! You gentle, that would be something new. In all my years as your big brother I have never seen you gently to anything."

The two stallions laughed loudly.

"Well you saw her she have probably don´t even know how to kiss, I'm sure I could show her some stuff."

"You are a freak you know that don´t you?"

"Me? Why I don't have the slightest idea of what you are talking about."

Rainbow Dash awoke by with a terrible ache in her wing. "Auch, stupid wings why do you always fail me when I need you the most. Where did i crash now?" She looks around and finds that she is under the trees next to the cave. "Hmm.. well Dash you have really outdone yourself this time. Now you can't even fly.."

"Don't be such a meanie to yourself Rainbow Dashie."

"AAAAAHH"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH"

"Pinkie what in Equestria are you doing here!?"

"What does it look like silly, i'm helping you."

"Yeah and you will probably blow our cover too with all your screaming..."

"Eeey no fair, you screamed first!"

Rainbow Dash gave out a sigh. "How did you even find me?"

"Well it all began after you snuck out, you did miss some really important info on this base and then i thought if Rainbow don't know what she will be against she might get hurt and if she get hurt the meanie ponies might capture her to and if both you and Twilight where captured who knows what will happen and then i also remembered that you usually run right into action and then i fought that maybe a sneaky plan would be better and then i remembered that i am a super duper sneaky so i could sneak into the base and help you disable the power feeding those big bad sparkie things and..."

"Yeah that's great Pinkie but that does not explain how you found me."

"Easy silly, with my pinkie sense of course."

"I should have guessed..."

"Oooh you wanna play a guessing game? I go first, guess what i'm thinking on!"

"How we are going save Twilight i hope!"

"Ooh your'e good. Your turn."

"Pinkie do you really have a plan or are you just here to be in the way!?"

"I was going to tell you but you only interrupted me."

"Out with it then, every minute we waste here is a minute more that Twilight have to be in there!"

"As i was saying you missed very important info when you flew away. Those two big sparkies are being powered up by the plants inside the cave. But if somepony where to get past them and the Pegasi and then destroy the power plants it would cause the meanie pants to be defenseless. And then we could easily finish them of.

"And how do you suppose that we shall do that without disguises or weapon."

"Oh Dashie you underestimate your old Pinkie" All of a sudden Pinkie brought forward a Solar Empire uniform along with two crystal alliance pistols and a box filled with blocks of some pink dough. On each block there where a little control panel and a timer. Pinkie equipped the armor and helmet on herself. She did now look like a mare in Celestia´s service. Altough the helmet was too big for her it fit perfectly because most of her giant mane went right in under it, and filled out the empty space in the helmet. Pinkie picked up several of the pink blocks and then she put them under her red jacket. She took one of the pistols and put it inside her tail hair. It was consumed by the pink fluffy hair instantly. She handed the other pistol to Rainbow Dash.

"So what´s the plan Pinkie?"

"Well i will go forward to the guards saying i'm the new recruit. Once i get past them i'm gonna make the power go booom booom with these little babies." She showed up one of the pink blocks.

"What are they?"

"Magic dough, a really fun weapon made by the crystal ponies, it looks so tasty but you cant eat it Dash then your stomach goes boom.

"How did you get your hooves on all these weapons?"

"Well i snuck in and borrowed them from the crystal ponies armory when nopony looked. Don´t look so angry Dashie we are after all helping them, why couldn't they borrow us some weapons?"

"Good point. But I don´t like the idea of you stealing!"

"We borrowed it silly." She then continued with her plan. "And after the power is out everypony will be after me so then it will be your job to shoot them in their backs. Once we have cleared the base we move into the big command building and rescue Twilight. Then we erase the rest of the base by shooting the munitions causing a huge colorful baang!!"

"Pinkie your plan is AWESOME, I never thought of you as such a good strategist. You ready?"

"Yes right after i have equipped this mustache.."Pinkie took forward a silly little fake mustache and put it on her face.

"Pinkie seriously?"

"What? It's all about the mustache."

"You are so random.."

"And your such a grumpy pants from time to time.

"No i'm not!"

"Uh yes."

"Uh no!"

They both started laughing, and then Pinkie started to walk towards the base.

"Good luck Pinkie."

"Silly Dashie i don't need luck i got my pinkie sense."

When Pinkie comes out of the forest the giant Trixie Coils recognizes her uniform and they holds their fire. The two Pegasi guards looks surprised to see another soldier.

"Eeey, you're no Pegasi!"

"Halt! Who are you and what are your businesses here!?"

Pinkie walks over towards the two guards and responds in a deep male voice. "Greetings fellow CLF soldiers. My name is Private Pink Mustache and I have been transferred from camp cupcake to here. I've been told to report to the pony in charge." The two Pegasi looks very confused.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, your mustache is black not pink!"

"Seriously, that´s what you find odd? I for one find it strange that he is a earth pony and a member of CLF, I thought we where only Pegasi. And what kind of name is camp cupcake?"

"That must be where all the good chefs are, because the one we got cant cook for donkey shit."

Pinkie continues to explain why she is there. "I am a member of the Ponyville Liberation Front, that's why i'm a earth pony and my commander thought that camp cupcake had too many soldiers so he sent me to aid our Pegasi brothers."

"Ponyville? What kind of place is that? And camp cupcake sounds way suspicious!"

"Ponyville is a town in Lunar Territory, and for the name the PLF names all their camps after different deserts."

"How come we haven't heard of this PLF before?"

"Well that's because we are a top secret organization, reporting directly to Celestia."

"Celestia, you say..."

"C'mon Feathers, he must be telling the truth with the mustache and all."The other guard interrupts.

"You have a pretty damn good point Leathers my brother, somepony with that grand mustache must be telling the truth! Alright private Pink you can enter. But our commander is currently away on a top secret CLF mission so you must wait with reporting to him until he gets back. In the meantime i suggest that you introduce yourself to everypony else."

"Then i'l do so. Later guys."

"Later Pink."

While Pinkie walks she hears one of them whispering to the other. "I still find it amazing that his name is Pink Mustache while the mustache is black." Pinkie giggles over the guards stupidity. While in the cave she sees the power plants. Luckily there are no guards on patrol, it would seem like most of them where on break. The power plants where big structures with two chimneys that led up into the roof of the cavern. She counted to four of them. She opens the door into one of them.

"Hello is anypony there?"

Inside of the factory are two large incinerators and beside each lies a huge pile of coal. Large pipes connected the incinerators with a reactor. The building was empty.

"Perfect, nopony to be seen, then all I have to do is to plant these little babies on each building and then i'l detonate them simultaneously. It will be a big surprise for everypony. The pink mare giggled and walked forward to a box on the wall. Somepony had painted a big lightning bolt upon it and under it stood the word DANGER in big letters. Several wires went out from the box and into the floor.

"This must be the power relay sending sparks into the meanie sparkies. Well Mr power say your last prayer cause aunt Pinkie is here to put an end to you once and for all." She took one of the pink blocks and opened the box and fastened it on the inside.

Four power plants later Pinkie stood behind a large rock a few yards away. She then took out a remote detonator. On it where a antenna that sent the signal to the magic dough's so they detonated. Pinkie pushed the green button on the detonator.

"Booooom!" The four power plants exploded violently and turned into rubble. Pinkie felt a tickle in her hooves, a new form of Pinkie sense which she had never experienced before. She could hear guards violently shouting and she heard hoofsteps coming her way. "Okay Dash now it's up to you!"

That explosion had alerted the whole camp. Dash counted ten Pegasi moving towards Pinkie. She ran towards the cave entrance and took the pistol she got from Pinkie with her mouth and put her tongue on the trigger. "Nopony hurts my friends!" She then fired the whole magazine into the crowd.

"Pang, Pang, Pang!"

Many of the shots hit several guards and when the remaining of them turned to Rainbow Dash Pinkie jumped forwards from behind a giant rock and finished them of.. She held her pistol in her mane instead of her mouth. They made quick work of the Pegasi guards that where caught in their surprise attack.

"Well that was easy enough, C'mon Pinkie let´s go find Twilight!" Dash looks over at the pink mare.

"Rainbow Dash, we killed these ponies in cold blod, they are dead!"

"Bucking Shit, you're right.. I..I never..."

"And I don't even feel a tinnsy tannsy bit different, It scares me Dash. We murdered these ponies and I don't feel sorry for them!"

Dash on the other hoof looked shocked over the bloody scene. "What have we done, think of these ponies what.. what if they had families or maybe.."

"Dash do you remember what Applejack said, that we will face versions of ourselfs that we didn't knew existed?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"I think I this is exactly what she was talking about, I never could have imagined that I am a psycho, a cold blooded killer..."

"Pinkie you're no psycho you are a..."

"A killer, and we both now it."

"NO! You are a cherish party pony and one of my best friends, and that is something we both now. I don't care if you kill every single solar soldier, you are still the same pony and friend in my eyes."

"Thanks Dash. But seriously how are you holding up? You look completely devastated."

"I don't know Pinkie, I feel terrible for what I did but at the same time I feel that they deserved it, I just don't know..."

Pinkie walks over to Rainbow Dash and gives her a long hug.

"What if they had children or..or..."

"It's okay Dash, I think you have a point where you say that they deserved it. These were solar terrorists that attacks civilians and abducts them. Who knows what kind of meanie pants these ponies where."

"You're right, these where monsters that took our friend. C'mon let's get Twilight!"

"Right behind you sister."

Twilight wondered what was going on out there. First she hears a giant explosion and then all of a sudden the warden runs out of the prison and then she hears some gunshots and now all went silent. Was it her brother who had come to save her? Or was it somepony else? She had the perfect opportunity to escape only if she could get this stupid padlock to open, but no of course she would be worthless at picking locks. If only she had read a book about it...

"Slaam" The door to the prison opens and in comes..,

"Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie! What are you doing here!?"

"Saving you silly." Pinkie jumped forwards to the cell where Twilight was. "Oh uh, looks like we need a key to save you. Dash do you got the key?"

"No, but I got something better." The Pegasus bit of one of her feathers from her healthy wing and walked forward to the lock. She put the feather inside of the lock and coaxed with it.

"Click" The lock opened and fell of.

"Where in the wide realm of Equestria did you learn that?" Twilight said accusingly.

"I read it in a book."

"Really, which one?"

"Daring Do and The Griffon's Goblet, page hundred and fifty three, row nine."

"You're kidding right?"

"No, on page hundred and fifty three Daring Do uses one of her wing feathers to open up a padlock. Really Twilight I thought that you knew those books, as a fellow Daring Do fan i'm disappointed."

"How did you two even get here?"

Pinkie took a long breath and began. "It all began when Rainbow Dash..."

"Pinkie maybe it's better that I tell the short version?"

"Aaaw, okay Dash."

"The short version that I flew here and then Pinkie appeared and then she blew up the power plants. After that we defeated the guards and then we came here."

"Wait you killed..."

"Yes Twilight, bang, bang, bang."

"We didn't enjoy it but it had to be done."

"Good."

"What!?"

"Look Rainbow Dash, I wont judge you for what you did. We are on the edge of a war and these where terrorist responsible for several attacks on civilians. They deserved to die!"

"Wow, I never imagined you being so..."

"Cold?, Judging?"

"Yeah, seems like yesterday we were in Ponyville and all this horseshit were worlds away."

"It was silly!"

"We better get out of here girls, thanks again for the rescue." The three mares joined in a group hug. "Love you girls."

"Love you too egghead."

"I love cake. Especially the frosting."

They all burst into laughter at Pinkie's silly comment.

"Where is everypony else? Did Shining Armor really send you alone?"

"Hehe, not really. We could say I volunteered."

"Rainbow Dash! You could have gotten yourself killed!"

"I know okay, now you sound like my dad!"

Outside you could hear the sound of several vehicles coming to a stop.

"This is not good!"

"If only you hadn't wasted time on all those questions we would been out of here long ago!"

"Me? Well Rainbow if only you could have waited for everypony else we wouldn't be trapped here now."

"If I had waited who knows what would have happened, maybe those vehicles are here to transport you into the Solar Empire."

"Ooh girls you are you so silly, those are our friends." Pinkie giggled.

"And how do you know that?"

"Because earlier when the guards where searching for me I felt a fun tickle in my hooves and I don't feel it now. Oh and the ponies out there are also shouting our names."

"Twily!?"

"Dashie!?"

The three ponies runs out only to be met by four auto wagons. In front of them stands several crystal rifleponies and Shining Armor, Rainbow Blaze and the rest of their friends.

"TWILY, You're safe!"

"BBBFF!" The two siblings reunited in a big hug. Right after Spike comes running and joins the hug.

"Twilight, never do that again!"

Then the rest of the friends joins the hug.

"You okay sugarcube?"

"Oh we were so worried!"

"Did those ruffians hurt you darling?"

Twilight smiles at her friends after the emotional reunion. "I'm okay guys, thanks to Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"Heh, it was nothing Twilight, Pinkie did most anyway."

Shining Armor interrupts the friends. "I think it's best if we returned to the Crystal Alliance as quickly as possible. We never know if there are more solar soldiers on their way."

As they walks towards the auto wagons one pony stays behind.

"Dashie, come here!"

Rainbow Dash gets a very annoyed look upon her face as she turn to face her father. Fluttershy lands beside her. "Trust me it'll be okay."

"We'll catch up with you later sir" Blaze says to Shining Armor.

"Okay, just be back for the briefing later." Then the four wagons drives away and only the two Pegasi remains in the base.

"Dashie..."

"Look I already know what you are going to say. That I am way to reckless and that i'm way to young for this and that I must return home. But you know what? It's to late for that because I killed those guards you know, I murdered them and there is nothing you can do about it!"

The Pegasus mare begins to cry. Blaze goes forward to his daughter and embraces her. "I'm proud of you."

"What.."

"I'm so proud of you, what you did where no easy thing but still you pushed trough and saved your friend."

"But shouldn't you call me reckless or..."

"Perhaps running away into enemy territory all alone isn't the best idea, but that doesn't change the fact that you did all you could to save your friend. You're brave Dashie. Brave and strong. And I am so proud of you and I know that your mother would've been as proud."

"But I killed those ponies... I'm a monster."

"No you're not. Those ponies would've done the same or worse to you, and you did it to help your friend. And I'm sure you found no joy in it. You are a true and loyal friend, just as I taught you. And do you know what, just that you are shocked by killing those ponies makes me even more proud. I love you Dashie and nothing can ever change that."

"I love you too. Um dad?"

"Yes Dashie?"

"I would appreciate if this just stayed between the two of us. You know I don't like the idea of my friends finding out that I've been crying. I have a image to keep and all that."

"Of course Dashie, you can trust me with anything."

"Maybe it's time for us to catch up with the others?"

"Yes just one more thing, I've been thinking about this much and now i'm certain that this is a good idea. I have come to the decision that you will be the captain leading our attack clouds and Pegasi, if you're game of course."

"OMIGOSH, OMIGOSH, OMIGOSH, OMIGOSH!!!" DAD YOU ARE AWESOME."

"Hehe, I didn't though't that you would be so thrilled about it."

"This means the world to me dad, this shows that you trust me and believes in me."

"I have always believed in you Dashie. Just a reminder, if you accept this then I expect you to follow my orders and never do this again. Understood?"

"Yes dad, um I meant sir."

"I do prefer dad you know. Now let's go, we have a war to win. And we need somepony to get a look on that wing of yours, it looks badly burnt."

"It have healed a bit by itself. So I can fly again. Let's see if you can keep up with me."

"I bet I will outrun you in seconds!"

"And I bet that I will be in Crystal Germaneigh in ten seconds flat!"
