Chapters Chapter 1: Mission Breifing
Author's Note
OK! SO I've had this idea a while but I never managed to get it down on paper…so to speak. I've always loved Sunset Shimmer, even when she was being a total b**ch. She's great as a character and I love her new-and-highly-improved personality in Rainbow Rocks.
The other main character is my MLP OC, Midnight Blaze, in human form. I might write another fic later with him in pony form but for now let's get started!
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this, Seeya everypony!
BTW this is set 2 years after the movies.
Chapter 1: Mission Breifing
Sunset Shimmer's POV
"Aw man, I'm so late!" I said as I bolted along the path. I got back from the basketball game Rainbow took me to see when I remembered the meeting. I was being assigned to a team, with a combination of newbies and pros. I didn't get a chance to grab so much as a snack before I had to leave. I checked my watch. 7:02PM. 2 minutes late!
Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap!" I ran even faster. I know it's not normally a big deal if you're only 2 minutes late for work, but that's different when you're a secret agent. I made to base a minute later and zoomed in.
"Sorry I'm late!" I yelled as soon as I entered the briefing room. Already sat there was Flash Sentry, Scootaloo, and two other people I didn't know. One had pink hair and eyes and blue tinted skin. Her hair style reminded me of Rainbow's. She wore a white tank top and ort blue skirt with a picture of cotton candy with a lightning bolt going through it on it. She had knee high white boots of a similar style to Twilight's. After a while this worlds Twilight moved into town and we befriended her, and Flash managed to get a date!
Next to sat a boy. He had short black hair and matching eyes. His skin was grey tinted. He wore a black jacket and pants over black combat boots. On his jacket pocket is a picture of two swords, a black on with a white outline and a blue one with a white outline.
"Do not worry. You are not the only one." Commander Quickshot assured me. I took a seat next to the girl.
"Hi. I'm Candy Bullet," she introduced herself, holding out her hand.
"Sunset Shimmer," I said, shaking it.
Candy smiled. "Nice to meet ya! I wish Midnight would hurry up though."
"Who?"
"My friend, Midnight Blaze. We're waiting on him. Typical! He's always on late."
As if on cue, the doors slammed open. In the doorway stood a boy, around 19 years old, with blue tinted skin. He had messy dark blue hair with a black streak and stunning blue eyes. He wore a Black t-shirt under a blue hooded jacket and black jeans. He wore simple blue sneaker underneath. On his T-shirt was an image of an eighth music note on fire. I don't know why, but my heart started beating faster as soon as I saw him.
"About time, Mr Blaze." Commander Quickshot said.
"That's your friend!?" I asked Candy. She nodded. Midnight comes and sat down in the last remaining spot-on the other side of me. I felt my cheeks heat up and I thought I saw him flush a bit red too. Commander explained everything and introduced everyone.
"Flash Sentry."
Flash waved.
"Candy Bullet."
Candy just smiled.
"Scootaloo."
Scootaloo just put on an 'I got this' expression. Man she reminds me of Rainbow Dash…
"Sunset Shimmer."
"Hi," I said nervously.
"Lightning Blade"
The kid in all black just said "Sup?"
"and Midnight Blaze!"
Midnight took this as his cue to stand up and do a quick air guitar solo. The commander was not very impressed, though the rest of us were. After that Quickshot gave us time to get to know our new teammates. Which for me only turned out to be getting to know Midnight. Turns out he's the lead singer and guitarist for a band he made with his friends, including Candy Cutie as the drummer. That definitely explains the air-guitaring and T-shirt design. I told about how I used to mean but was changed by the magic of friendship. "That's really cheesy y'know,' he commented. "Cheesy but true."
I told him all about how I survived that last year at Canterlot High School and then how I became a spy he listened though occasionally seemed to fall into his own world and just stare at me. When the briefing broke up, I was met with a rumbling stomach.
"Woah, somebody's hungry!" Midnight commented.
"Heh, yeah/ I was kinda late so I didn't get a chance to eat anything."
He thought for a moment before saying. "I got it! I know a good pizza place around here, I can take you! I mean, uh, y'know, as a friend," he suggested.
"Y-Yeah, sure, why not?" I say, blushing a little.
Midnight Blaze's POV
'Boo-yah!' I thought, silently cheering. I took Sunset to the pizza place. We ordered a simple Hawaiian to share and sat down towards the stage. I smiled when I heard the kids cheering as the curtains opened, revealing a purple dog with a red bowtie and guitar, a duck holding a creepy cupcake toy with eyes and a polar bear with a black top hat and bowtie holding a microphone. They were all robots of course, but the kids loved them none-the-less. I heard Sunset giggle as the kids sung along to the band's pizza song. I smiled, happy that she was happy. I didn't know what was with me-I wasn't usually that mushy. 'Do I have…a crush on Sunset?' I looked over. She was beautiful. Her sea-green eyes, her awesome red and yellow hair! 'Yeah. I do.'
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Chapter 3: Dreams and Comfort.
Midnight Blaze's POV
I sat upon a hill overlooking a beautiful sunset. I looked to my side to see the girl of my dreams admiring the sunset, her red and yellow hair flowing in the breeze, teal eyes shining. She turned to me I blushed as I noticed I had been staring but couldn't bring myself to look away. She smiled as we looked into each other's eyes. At first I didn't notice the shadows ominously approaching us. I soon saw it the corner of my eyes and was about to warn her but was too late. The shadow surrounded her, lifting her 2 metres above the ground and turned into black crystal. Another shadow reared up behind her, but this was different. It had the head of what looked like some sort of unicorn. It had dark grey fur and a red razor sharp horn, a black mane and green eyes with red irises. The head leaned back before lunging forward clamping its jaws over her head. I screamed as blood squirted everywhere.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I sat up in bed sweating and panting like never before. I was freaking out. I wanted to call Sunset and see if she was OK but I knew she'd be asleep so there's no point in that. So I just hugged my knees close and let the tears flow. Yeah I never was good at dealing with nightmares. I head Candy burst into my room.
"Where's the attacker!" she yelled, equipped with a kitchen knife. She saw me on the bed and rolled her eyes before coming over. "Hey, you OK?" she sat on my bed.
"Nightmare," I said.
Candy looked at me sympathetically. I've been having a lot of nightmares lately, which now that I think about were mainly focused on shadows and darkness, but I was never forced to watch someone I cared about die before. "You wanna talk about it?"
I thought about it before nodding. "I was on a picnic with Sunset Shimmer-"
"A romantic picnic?" she smirked.
"N-no! Not at all!" I lied. Candy saw right through it.
"It was, wasn't it?"
"No it wasn't!"
"Was!"
"Wasn't!"
And then we broke down laughing. Candy's like that. We've been best friends since 6th grade, and knew each other for even longer. She always knows how to make me laugh.
"Anyway, so we on a NON-ROMANTIC picnic when these shadows pulled her into the air and turned into crystals, and then a shadow with a unicorn head came up and…" I couldn't finish my sentence. I just couldn't. Candy just sat there and hugged me as I cried into her shoulder.
I couldn't get any sleep after that nightmare, so I pretty much just browsed the forums all night. I just couldn't stop worrying about Sunset though. So after giving her some time to wake up (by that I mean until 7AM) I bolted down to her place. I tried to calm myself down and knocked on the door as calmly as I could, trying not to freak out. 'What if something happened? What if she was kidnapped? What if she accidentally stabbed herself while cooking! WHAT IF SHE DROWNED IN THE BATH! No, no, calm down Midnight, your being ridiculous…but what if I'm not! I am…right?' The door eventually opened to Sunset standing there. Her hair was wet so I'm guessing she just got out of the shower. "You're OK!" I jumped onto her for a hug, accidentally knocking her over.
"Um…yeah," she said, hugging back none-the-less.
I suddenly noticed what position we were in and blushed. "Heh heh…let me just get up…"
"Yeah"
"Heh"
"…"
After I got up I offered my hand to help Sunset. She took it, blushing and stood up. "So…what exactly was that about?"
"I, um…you'd just laugh."
"No I wouldn't"
'Yeah, you probably would"
"I won't. Pinkie Promise."
That sold it for me. No-one who doesn't want to end up in the hospital requiring intensive care breaks a Pinkie Promise! "Well…OK. I had a nightmare…I was forced to watch this unicorn monster thingy kill you…and…" I fought back the tears not wanting to appear weak in front of Sunset (even though I am really weak). "Go head, laugh, call me a wimp, a sissy, whatever. I've heard them all." The Sunset did something I never would've expected. She gave me a hug

WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SOME SWEARING AND GORE!
I checked myself in the mirror. I had smoothed down my hair (it looks like Flash Sentry’s only cooler) and was wearing a white undershirt and blue striped vest over navy blue pants and black boots. I put on my blue tie and checked the clock to see I has 5 minutes to get to Sunset’s house. “Oh crap! I gotta go!” I said to myself as I ran out of the house

“Thanks for the dress Rarity,” I thanked my friend.
I found a nice place to sit down under a tree and leaned on a tree behind me. 5 minutes later I heard Midnight calling my name.

Are you sure we should be doing this Rainbow?” I asked my rainbow haired friend

I landed on my butt as Twilight pulled me down behind the window. “Thanks Twi, I was almost caught there,” I smiled at my friend.
Sunset Shimmer’s POV
I sat on a bench outside Record Scratch’s shop and looked into the sky as the wind blew through my hair. It reminded me of when I did the exact same thing in Equestria with Princess Celestia as she taught me more about the stars and the night sky, though she seemed rather distant, always looking up at the moon. Looking back, she was probably thinking about how she had to banish Luna – sorry, Nightmare Moon – into the moon. ‘I wonder what happened with Nightmare moon .in this world…’ I thought. I was draw form my thought when 2 people stood in front of me. One was a man, with crystal-looking dark green skin and spiked orange hair and a woman with crystal-looking purple skin and long red hair covering one eye. They wore identical clothing, consisting of black pants and boots and a black jacket with a symbol of a black and red crystal on the front pocket. “Um, hi, can I help you?” I asked nervously.
Rainbow Dash’s POV
“We gotta do something!” I yelled but as I got up I felt something pull on my clothing. I looked back and saw twilight holding my jacket. “Twilight what are you doing?”
Midnight Blaze’s POV
“Hey Midnight?” Sunset said
