The most secret agent of Celestia's most secret serviceby Kaliann25Chapters001002003004005001Location unknown; Sunday 11:29pm: Maud Pie evaluated the place with her cold creepily calculating eyes; not missing any detail of her companions while petting her pet rock Boulder. Finally she yawned indifferently and went straight to the point: “Alright: mares and gentlecolts, we’re reunited because after three years of preparations, our real operations are about to start. In a not so distant future…” “This foolishness of the Kingdom of Equestria will finish and everything will be back to normal: three different kingdoms without having any contact to each other; and I won’t see your ugly faces again. No offense intended.” Finished Fancy Pants with an evil grin. “Don’t worry” shrugged Spit Fire. “Who cares about what a ‘horny' have to say, huh? It’s just as ridiculous as listen to rocks” “Easy Boulder, easy” said Maud Pie petting her angry rock. “Soon enough we won’t have to interact with this individuals again; no talking nor trading or even… reproduce with them” The three leaders shivered in disgust; after all they were proud descendants of pure blood lines: more than ten generations of unicorns marrying only with unicorns; pegasi mixing exclusively with pegasi and earth ponies having children only with other earth ponies. Fancy pants even guided his daughter’s sexuality to make her like only other mares; he preferred a thousand times a lesbian daughter than risking to have a non-unicorn descendant. Unfortunately for him his daughter Fancy Vanilla (AKA DJP03 Vinyl Scratch) married an earth pony mare, Octavia Melody. “Anyway, I propose a toast for the end of our forced society and the beginning of paradise” said Fancy Pants. “CHEERS!” Canterlot, Monday 05:29am: It was a beautiful day, perfect to cheer anypony. Princess Celestia, (after rising the sun and have a light breakfast) went to open her school, the Academy for Gifted Unicorns while humming happily the theme of ‘Friendship is Magic’. But as soon as she introduced the key to the keyhole, something called her attention, the door was open. “What?” Suddenly, a powerful explosion sent the sun Princess to a wall of a close building. Celestia created a force-field just in time before a second explosion destroyed the rest of the building and the surroundings. Several guards trotted to the scene. “Are you alright, your highness?” “Yes, I’m alright” she said. “Call every military leader to an emergency reunion, I have a feeling that this is only the beginning” Canterlot, Ministry of Defense Monday 7:00am: “Gentlecolts, you already have an hour and a half. I want results, right now” ordered Celestia with a frown. Shining Armor, leader of the Crystal Guard exchanged a nervous look with the sun captain, Master Sword and finally bowed to Celestia. Shining, the one who lost the bet, beginning to explain using his magic to create a map of Equestria with twelve red points all over it. Celestia raised an eyebrow. “As you can see, Princess Celestia, the Academy of Gifted Unicorns was only one of twelve different targets, all this schools you see on the map were also destroyed at the same time by this unknown organization. Besides your school, also the Trottingham Magic Institute and Fillydelphia Academy of Magic Arts were terminated; the three of them placed in cities populated mostly by unicorns” Celestia raised an eyebrow but nodded. Shining continued: “Also, in the three schools we found these” He used his magic to show Celestia the old flag of the lost nation Unicornia. “The other attacked schools were the Weather Control University and the Flying Academy; both of them located in Clousdale. Then another school in Los Pegasos and other in Hurricante City; and in the four schools we found the emblem of Pegasopolis” Celestia nodded. “And let me guess: the last academies that were attacked were the Mane-Hattan Tech; Maredrid’s Academy of Arts and Sciences; Appleloosa Agronomy University and Stalliongrado Mix School where you found the flag of Earth, the lost earth pony nation” Shining nodded nervously and Celestia frowned again, this was starting to form a pattern; and she didn’t like it. Then Master Sword approached shyly: “Looking at the bright side, there was no casualties nor injured ponies, it was too early in the morning. And after hours of investigation, we found several home-made explosives, very powerful but impossible to locate; the same kind of explosive commonly used in rock farms” Again bad news, so the ones who did this knew what they were doing and left no clue behind, this was getting worse. Celestia bit her lip and began to walk in circles while the military leaders were looking at her concerned. Suddenly the door opened letting pass good for nothing of Celestia’s nephew: Princes Blue Blood, who was kissing passionately with a gray mare with blonde mane and tail. Derpy Hooves blushed when Blue Blood lowered his hooves to her hips beginning to… “Blue Blood!” Called Celestia angrily. The Prince looked surprised. “Auntie! What are you doing here? All of you! This building is always empty, why are you all here?” “Because we have an emergency you idiot” said Shining Armor approaching to the irritating prince. “Now go annoy anywhere else, okay? We have grownups things to do” Blue Blood shrugged arrogantly. “Oh my! I think I hear something, but it can’t be. It sounds like a plebe trying to lecture a superior, something so pathetic that doesn’t deserve my attention” Shining’s facer turned red and was about to respond the arrogant idiot; while the other generals silently walked away already knowing what was about to happen: both of them discussing for a while and when Celestia would have enough, she’ll force Blue Blood to apologize. A so common scene that everypony preferred to avoid it and continue the war council later. In the meantime, both stallions continued arguing when Celestia looked at the window and spotted the other generals leaving. She nodded. “Okay, they’re gone” Shining Armor and Blue Blood stopped arguing and hugged each other affectionately like the great friends they were. “I should know” smiled Shining Armor to his childhood friend. “The gravity of the situation requires the intervention of the Secret Service. Dude, great acting; I’m impressed how easily you change your personality” Blue Blood shrugged with a warm smile. “Is not the great thing Shine, after all is my talent as an actor what brought me where I am now” Shining was about to say something else but Celestia interrupted: “Alright, leaving that aside, tell me Blue Blood and agent Hooves: have found anything?” The prince turned to Derpy, (whose lose eye went back to normal position and her silly smile turned into a the normal expression of a high-ranked solider). “As a matter of fact, my unit located a powerful magic temporizer on the explosives’’ carcasses; indicating that those things were there for weeks. And the worst part is that they didn’t bother to hide it, like leaving a message to us: they could kill the students any time they wanted” “So I was right, this was only the beginning” mumbled Celestia. “Yes Princess, I’m afraid that we’ll know more about this enemy very soon” said Derpy bowing to the Princess. Celestia nodded, this was what she feared. “Alright, for this mission I guess you’ll need new equipment. Here you go, the latest Twilight Sparkle’s prototypes” She made appear to suitcases, one for each agent of the Secret Service. On the one she gave to Blue Blood were a bow tie, a rose to his lapel, a gold hair brush and a gold pen. And on Derpy’s there was a mail bag, a mailmare cap and a basket of muffins. “Derpy, the letters on the mail bag are powerful weapons you could need, look at the envelopes. The sepia ones have a smoke screen you could use as a distraction; the white ones are sharply boomerangs you can throw in your aerial maneuvers; and the pink ones contain nerve gas for cases of extreme need only. Your cap is really a magic transmitter that will communicate with me at any moment; and the basket of muffins… those were backed by your leader herself, I don’t know what they do but knowing her, are very dangerous things. Use them wisely” Derpy military saluted Celestia, she was ready. “Blue Blood: like Derpy’s cap, your rose is a powerful magical transmitter; keep me informed. Also, you bow tie have a hidden camera, I need you to photograph every single piece of evidence you find; or anything suspicious. We need to be prepared. Next, your hair brush is equipped with a force-field spell, brush your hair one time and you’ll be immune to any kind of magical attacks for fifteen minutes; approximately, that depends of the spell, but be careful Blue Blood: you can only use it three time. And last but not least, the pen is a miniature Taser; again, only in cases of extreme need.” The Prince examined his gadgets and nodded. Princess Celestia smiled warmly: “Like always, I ask you to be careful, but I trust you can locate and stop this terrorist organization in a matter of days. You’re my best agents, my ultimate weapon against terrorism; those who stop every conflict before it stars” Blue Blood and Derpy nodded, they were prepared. Celestia smiled again: “Now I leave you, I have to give my declarations to press. Please be safe” Said that, she left flying leaving Shining Armor alone with the spies. He friendly punched Blue Blood and winked an eye to him. “Are you ready for this, pal?” “Of course, and like always, the prodigy of your sister provided us with the finest gadgets in the market. What could go wrong?” Shining’s face turned serious. “Please be careful, remember we don’t know anything about this enemy” “You be careful” said Blue Blood. “I fight from the shadows, you show your face; if somepony have to be careful, it is you Shine” And then they walked away, the most secret agents of Celestia’s most secret servce. Author's Note And another of my translations, I hope you liked it; one of the few stories in the spanish fandom that say something possitive about Prince Blue Blood. He as the hero, what do you think? Anyway: Read ya later!! 002Blue Blood’s mansion; Monday 14:09pm: Blue Blood returned home after an entire afternoon of looking for information all over Canterlot, and also annoying the hard-working ponies who were in charge of protect the affected area from the curious. They of course only did their jobs but Blue Blood appeared with his irritating tone to force them to let him pass: I am Princess Celestia’s nephew and a former prominent student; I demand to pass right now, I want to check if the damages affected the records of my successes as a student and…” They let him pass only because they were too tired of him. Back to the present Blue Blood sighed thinking on the ponies he pissed off on the daily basis. “Of all the military positions, why do I have to have this one? If I keep like this soon enough I’ll lose all the friends all have” He entered to his home ready for a good afternoon and night of good sleep. He woke up at dawn and he haven’t rested yet, not even eaten but the tiredness was stronger than his appetite. Tiredly he took an apple to not have to wake up to eat in the middle of his nap and began to chew it softly while he checked his mail before go to bed. It was the usual: threats, more threats, complains, again threats and strip-club bills we’ll send to Princess Celestia (those were the best places to collect information, that’s why she keep paying bills of such places) and an annoying invitation to a party from certain group that desperately tried to recruit him. As always he was about to threw it to the trashcan when he noticed something odd. Taking a close look of the invitation, it had a seal of the old flag of Unicornia. “No way!” He gasped. Then he ran to a pile of newspapers (or his scandals collection) looking for a specific date. He found it: —BLUE BLOOD DECLARES NON-UNICORNS ARE INFERIOR PONIES— Yesterday, during a high-class party sponsored by Fancy Pants, our favorite Royal Pain Prince Blue Blood shouted to everypony his pride of being a unicorn. That can be considered normal, but then he added that other races are inferior, and quote: ‘I’m just saying that the second more important thing after being royalty is being a unicorn. Earth ponies are filthy, pegasi are rude and quarrelsome. Our race is the only one who knows how to behave like a decent pony. And I wonder, are the other inferior races ponies as well? Or something lower?’ The article kept going complaining against him, as always; but what really called his attention was that immediately after that scandal, the invitations began to appear on his mailbox. He took the most recent one and checked it was dated for that night. “And there goes half of my rest” he sighed while activating his transmitter. “Auntie? It’s me, I have a trail but please don’t mobilize any units until I say so. I must confirm it” From her side, Princess Celestia smiled pleased. “You have all my confidence Blue Blood. Do what you have to do” Monday 7:00pm; residential Canterlot Gardens: After throwing a few bits to the good earth pony who drove his cab, Blue Blood walked to the house his invitation indicated. He recognized the place, it was a residential complex owned mostly by Fancy Pants. With his best spoiled-brat-expression, he demandingly knocked the door. “Is anypony in there? Open up in this instant! It’s me, Princess Celestia’s nephew himself, Blue Blood. Open up or I’ll be forced to complain in every tabloid about your rudeness with me” The house butler opened the door slightly annoyed but used to this kind of stuffs. Instead of say something he gently guided the prince to the living room, where Fleur de Liz, Fancy Pants, the famous jeweler Goldand Diamonds and (most to Blue Blood’s surprise) Rarity Belle were sharing a digestive. The first three seemed genuinely surprised but pleased to see him; but in the other hoof Rarity gasped in disgust and avoided eye-contact. Blue Blood felt guilty for the mare, he knew Rarity had her reasons to hate him after what happened at the Gala, but he had his reasons as well to behave as he did. Anyway he made a face of disgust and presented his invitation to the group. “I suppose you’re the ones behind this poor excuse of advertisement in my mailbox” Goldand Diamonds rolled his eyes but chuckled, even if he disliked the prince he was the kind of pony they needed for the cause: rich and with influence in the Palace. By his way Fancy Pants gently offered a drink: “Blue Blood, I’m so glad you decided to join us after all this months inviting you. Come on, take a sit” “Service, bring his majesty a glass of anisette as he likes and prepare an extra service on the table please” commanded Fleur. “I’m so glad you two accepted our invitation” Blue Blood looked at Rarity. “Whatever, and you are?” Rarity grinded her teeth but preferred not to dignify that offensive question with an answer. Once again Blue felt some remorse but that wasn’t the time to think about it. He just sat and crossed his hooves. “Okay, I hope you three had a good reason for calling me, I’m a very busy pony and you should be honored to have me” “As charming as always” grumped Rarity. “Please miss Rarity, he is welcome in this house as much or perhaps a little bit more than you” said Fancy Pants. Blue Blood raised an eyebrow, this was odd. Smiling, Fancy Pants cleaned his monocle while Blue Blood fixed his bowtie to activate the transmitter; he had the feeling Princess Celestia would like to hear this. “The point is I’ve being investigating your lineages and I must say I’m very impressed” began Fancy Pants. “Blue Blood comes from a family with at least nine generations of pure-blooded unicorns; there’s no trace of earth pony or pegasi blood staining his system. And for Rarity Belle, six generations; as not as impressive but still very, very good. In this fake paradise of forced coexistence with inferior pony races, legacies as ours are vanishing. Our younger generations don’t appreciate the importance of pure-blood. Even my daughter Vanilla preferred to mate with a filthy earth pony; gross, but at least is a lesbian and there will be no children for that unfortunate marriage” Rarity looked at her friend with disbelief in her eyes, was he serious? Just like Blue Blood, she had being receiving invitations for that reunions for months, but she always ignored them until Fancy Pants wrote her personally. And what was he talking about? Was the most respected unicorn of Canterlot a racist? “We live in a time of change” said Fleur de Liz. “But not always those changes are good. Soon the pony society will be back to normal: each race by their own as it haves to be” Rarity and Blue Blood shivered, this was what the spy feared. Luckily his aunt already received all the information by the transmitter, but still this unnerved him a lot. “I invited you to form part of our dream” continued Fancy Pants. “Blue Blood, you are an idiot but also you’re on the perfect position to pass us information about the Castle. Cooperate with us and you won’t regret. Miss Rarity Belle, I know you enough to know you would love to live in a world full of sophistication and glamour as only unicorns can have. Join us and your wildest dreams will come true. No more pegasi nor earth ponies in our way, not anymore” Goldand Diamonds joined to the speech: “To achieve our goals we joined forces with those inferior races; but they share the same dream to not see each other faces again. Our alliance limits itself to mutual tolerance until we separate forever; but thanks to our cooperation we’re closer than ever” “So you want us to join to your organization?” Asked Blue and Rarity at the same time. Fleur de Liz smiled creepily. “Not just ‘an organization’ my friends. Join us, join to Salvation” Then the butler, Great Service, came with a letter that he offered to Fancy Pants. The eyes of the terrorist leader passed from Blue Blood to Rarity, then back to Blue and stopped in rarity. “Aw, and I used to like you Miss Rarity Belle” Rarity gulped, what was going on? “Fancy Pants?” She asked scared. “Our informants from the Royal Guard just confirmed our fears, Celestia mobilized the Secret Service; the most dangerous army division to our plans. Anyway; from nowhere you two suddenly decide to accept my invitation” Fleur sighed. “We have to choices: the idiot of Blood, and you. Is not too hard to figure out who is the spy. So, how you want to die Rarity Belle?” Rarity screamed and tried to escape but the butler Service immobilized her with his magic. Blue Blood gasped in fear, if he moved they could kill Rarity… but if he didn’t do something they’ll kill her anyway. Luckily enough Goldand Diamonds placed a gentle hoof on his shoulder. “Sorry for this Blue Blood, but Rarity Belle endangers our entire operation. Please, follow me, you don’t have to see how we kill her” And he guided the speechless prince to another room. In the meantime Fancy Pants shook his head sadly and proceed to retire as well. “Even if she is a danger to our goals, I prefer not to see this. Bye” “Yeah, until I knew she was a spy from the Crown, I considered her almost a friend” added Fleur. And they both teleported away. Blue Blood took his golden pen and before Goldand Diamond could react, he electrocuted with the secret device on it. Goldand fell totally unconscious while Blue Blood ran to save Rarity. The butler Great Service gasped when Blue Blood knocked him down with mastery and held him with an expert chokehold. “Easy pal” Finally Service surrendered to the Prince, who put him a couple of hoof-cuffs and sighed. “This was a close call. Are you alright, miss Rarity Belle?” The fashionista looked around very scared. “Blue Blood… what’s going on here?” “Nothing good, I can assure you that” said the prince activating his transmitter again. “Auntie, did you saw what happened?” From Blue Blood’s bowtie, the image of Celestia emerged seeming really worried. “I did, and already sent an especial task-force but Fancy Pants and Fleur de Liz used an especial device to hide where they teleported” “Damn it” mumbled blue Blood. “And what about Rarity Belle?” Celestia sighed. “I’m afraid that thanks to Fancy’s mistake, she’ll become a main target for the organization known as Salvation. So for her security we must train her in order to protect her from the terrorist. Is on to you Blue Blood. And Rarity Belle: I’m truly sorry about this but, welcome to the Secret Service” 003Ponyville, Carrusel Boutique; Tuesday 7:45am Rarity woke up after what she thought a really bad dream. She was tired, really tired. “Oh for Celestia’s sake, is really late!” She said checking her alarm clock. “I almost have no time for my morning beauty ritual! Well Rarity, you must woke up an hour earlier tomorrow to make sure you won’t waste your efforts! Anyway, I better have some breakfast and a long shower” But then she heard a noise in the kitchen. Bad sign; it meant that Sweetie Belle was cooking! Rarity ran downstairs as fast as she could but she stopped at her dining room when she saw the little unicorn filly eating happily. “Sweetie Belle? What are you doing here? Is somepony else in the kitchen?” Asked Rarity very agitated. The unicorn filly smiled happily. “Yes, the handsome stallion who brought you home last night right after you fainted. He said he carried you the entire way from Canterlot to here and then put you in your bed. He’s very kind… I mean, he even made us breakfast, and I helped!” Rarity needed a minute to process what Sweetie Belle just said and shivered. So it wasn’t a dream? Confirming her fears, Blue Blood entered to the dining room carrying with his magic two plates of eggs with haybacon and fruits; and also a jar of coffee. “Good morning miss Rarity Belle, I thought you were going to sleep late. After all what happened last night is only natural to be exhausted. Anyway here you go” And just like that he gave her breakfast. Rarity shook her head, she needed to clear her thoughts. Blue Blood noticed it and turned to Sweetie Belle. “Sweetie, darling, do you mind go to your room for a little? your sister and I have something very important to discuss” Sweetie Belle giggled and winked an eye. “Oh, grownups talk, I get it Mr. Blue” Then she turned to her sister. “Good catch sist, he’s handsome and polite” Rarity was about to protest but the filly was already upstairs. When they heard the door closing, Blue Blood turned to Rarity seeming very concerned. “So this is the situation miss Rarity Belle: your life is in danger until we stop Fancy Pants and his group. Thanks for the events from last night, Fancy Pants think you are one of us and the Terrorist Organization Salvation won’t stop until they wipe you out of the map” Rarity shook her head in horror. “It can’t be true!” “I’m afraid it is” said Blue Blood. “Did you heard about the schools incident? That was Fancy Pants’ group, we’re dealing with that kind of ponies” Rarity gulped and Blue Blood nodded sadly. “I really wish there’s other way miss Rarity Belle, but it isn’t. Because of this misunderstanding you’re now the main target of this ponies and the only way we can save you is teaching you to defend yourself” Rarity took a big sip from her coffee. “I really don’t get it. You a nice pony, Fancy Pants a villain. It doesn’t make sense!” “Welcome to the world of espionage miss Rarity Belle, is all about faking your true personality in order to avoid suspicion” said Blue Blood. “However, from now on I’m your assigned bodyguard and trainer. For the next days I’ll teach you the basis of self-defense and weaponry” “WHAT?!” Blue Blood nodded again. “I never wanted to this to happen Rarity Belle, but there’s no choice nor way back. But luckily for you, you won’t be alone. Your friend Twilight Sparkle is also a valuable member of our organization. She’ll help us in every way she can. After she heard about your predicament, Twilight spent the next six hours designing the perfect weapon equipment for you in case you have to fight” Rarity trembled, why this had to happen to her? At the end she looked to the stallion to his eyes. “Blue Blood, may I ask you something?” “Go ahead” “Your behavior during the Gala was part of this?” He nodded. “I owe you a big apology for that, miss Rarity Belle. That night I was instructed to approach to a suspect called Marshmallow Star, whose description was a unicorn with white fur and purple mane. I approached to you thinking you were my target, but Twilight indicated me I was mistaken so I did my best to force you leave my side. However I crossed a line of rudeness I swore myself not to cross again. I’m sorry for that” Rarity was about to say something, but suddenly she noted something in the eyes of the prince: sadness. What happened to him? Location unknown; Tuesday 12:09pm: Maud Pie was petting her rock Boulder as other villains petted their cats, when Fancy Pants and Fleur de Liz materialized inside the Salvation base. She raised an eyebrow but remained silent; one of the golden rules of the racists terrorists was not to talk between races unless it was absolutely necessary. “Okay we bumped into the Secret Service but we neutralized their agent before she could find anything. We can stay calm” Maud Pie shrugged and kept petting boulder. “If you have to say something, say it earth-worm” defied Fleur. Maud limited herself to kiss boulder. “Boulder is smart, not like the hornys who only think they are” Fancy and Fleur were about to protest but Spit Fire walked in and showed them the newspaper: FANCY PANTS WANTED. Beloved businesspony accused of high betrayal and mass murderer “You are an idiot Fancy Pants” said Spit Fire. “Thanks to you we lost an agent and now the entire Secret Service is chasing us” The marriage shrunk in shame, where did they failed? Then a rock hit them on the head hard. “Sorry about that. Bad Boulder!” Said Maud. “EY!!” Complained both unicorns. Spit Fire grinded her teeth. “I just have a question, idiots: why did you left before you made sure we really terminated the agent, huh? Do you have flowers growing inside your brain or what? That was the dumbest mistake ever!” Fancy Pants took air. “Okay, we underestimated the spy, right? But it doesn’t matter since we know her identity: Rarity Belle from Ponyville. The Element of Generosity, somepony very close to the Crown and savor of Equestria. I appreciate her and that’s why I lowered my guard, but it won’t happen again” “No, it won’t happen because you two are staying here until we finish” said Spit Fire. “Rarity Belle, you said? Fine, I’ll take care of her” “Do you have any idea?” Asked Fleur. Spit Fire nodded. “Yes. That bunch of girls self-proclaim their friendship is the strongest in Equestria. Well, let’s take advantage of it. It won’t be easy but I think I can take one of their friends as a hostage to prevent Rarity Belle to take action against us” Maud nodded. “The idiot who wants to be a Wonderbolt” Spit Fire grinned evilly. “Let’s see how far would Rainbow go to join the Wonderbolts. It’s a shame, she’s naturally gifted and would be a great addition to us but we have to make sacrifices in order to win” The three terrorists leaders plus one laughed, this was going to be really easy. But then a rock hit Fancy and Fleur again. “Bad Boulder!” Scolded Maud again. 004Tuesday 9:03am; Palace of Friendship: Twilight was walking in circles as always when she was in one of her crisis. Why? Why does things had to be this difficult? Why Rarity? She was so innocent, so nice; such a great pony, and now she was in the middle of a struggle between the Secret Service and one of the most dangerous organizations so far. Anyway Spike did his best to calm her down: “Twi, breath please” he said calmly. “Remember she’s with Blue Blood. And remember what you and Shining always say, that you would trust your lives to him” Twilight nodded, she knew Spike was right but still she was worried for her friend. “I know but why it had to be Rarity? Applejack or Rainbow Dash are stronger, they could deal with all this better than her” “Let’s thank Celestia it wasn’t Fluttershy at least” said Spike. “Rarity can handle a little more than her, and she always surprised us with her ability to deal with difficult situations. Remember when she was kidnaped by the Diamond Dogs? Besides she’s not alone. With your brain and Blue’s ability she’ll be safe” “You think so?” Asked Twilight. “I’m sure” said the little dragon opening the door to Rarity and Blue Blood. The most secret agent of Celestia’s most secret service made a small nod to greet Spike while Twilight practically jumped to give Rarity a big hug of relief. “Twilight… you’re chocking me” mumbled the white unicorn a little uncomfortable. Twilight released her but she was still very worried. “I’m so sorry Rarity, I just couldn’t sleep until I make sure you were alright. Since Princess Celestia informed me of what happened I’ve been working in something for your defense” Spike approached with the finest makeup set anypony could buy. “It looks like makeup, you can use it as makeup but it is a high-level spy arsenal” explained the dragon. “Be careful Rarity, we don’t want you to hurt yourself” “Thank you Spikey-wikey” said Rarity. “But… are you a part of this too?” Spike nodded. “As a dragon I have messenger breath, that the Secret Service use as a tactical advantage. I pretend to be Twilight’s number one assistant, but in fact I’m an expert in communications keeping the Secret Service in touch all the time” Twilight hugged the dragon. “He’s our youngest agent. The friendship reports were his idea; doing so nopony find suspicious me writing letters to Princess Celestia all the time. You see, I use to hide instructions or status reports to the Princess inside the friendship letters, is kind of fun to encode messages” Spike returned the hug thankfully and began to explain to Rarity: “First the brushes, see the brand label?” Asked the dragon showing the instrument to Rarity, who nodded. “Well, in fact it’s a device that haves the same effect that Blue Blood’s comb: it activates a shield-spell level 10; effective enough to protect you from any kind of magical and physical attacks except for alicorns. How many, it depends of the attack strength but still enough to help you to survive. Then he showed the eyelash curler. “This one is the most important and dangerous: it shots a small amount nerve-gas powerful enough to knock a pony of the size of Bulk Biceps for example” Rarity nodded gulping, this seemed more dangerous that she thought. Then Spike showed her the eye-masks. “Okay, those are really interesting: the blue ones have an especial spell to sharpen your eyesight to unmeasurable levels. The green ones also give you X-ray vision but is still on experimental phase, you can’t see through walls more than two seconds” Rarity nodded again while Spike finally took the sample of perfume. “This one is the most important: is the transmitter; whenever you need you can communicate with any of us. Take care Rarity, the Secret Service is no game” Rarity didn’t know what to say; but Twilight was already thinking in a plan: “First things first: I’ve mobilized all units in Ponyville to watch for our friends in case this organization try to use them to get to us…” …and she yawned and fell asleep, she couldn’t take more; so Spike too k her in his arms and dragged her to her bedroom. “I guess she had a long night. Anyway, please practice with that things in one of the empty rooms. In the meantime I’ll go read comics or something” Said that, Blue Blood made a gently gesture to Rarity to follow him, the whole thing was really weird, nopony was who they supposed to be. What now? Anyway, she followed Blue Blood to train; the fastest this nightmare ends, better. Wednesday 4:55 am; Ponyville Outskirts Rainbow Dash was more excited than ever before, while reading the letter over and over. It was a Blue letter with the official seal of the Wonderbolts, signed by Spit Fire herself: Dear Rainbow Dash, how you’re doing, recruit? I’ve wrote you because on next show we’ll need your help. This show in particular is very important and we must close it greatly; so I was thinking in your Sonic Rainboom. I hope you can help us, and prepare: this will open you the doors to officially join us permanently. If you’re interested come to see me at Ponyville’s outskirts at 5:00 am. Sincerely yours, Spit Fire. Rainbow couldn’t believe her luck, was this for real? She even woke up at 3:00 am only to be there an hour and a half before Spit Fire arrived. Finally Spit Fire landed before her, waring the military uniform she wore at the Wonderbolt Academy, her sunglasses and a little backpack. “Oh hello there Rainbow Dash” greeted Spit Fire. “Giving your reputation I’m actually surprised to see you this early” “Ey, if the Wonderbolts call you better hurry, besides I haven’t slept the whole night!” Spit Fire nodded. “Now let’s talk about serious business” said the mare. “Shall we walk?” Rainbow would preferred to fly but still she nodded. Spit Fire began to explain: “So as you already know we have a very hard selection process; and with a show in just two weeks and Fleet Floot incapacitated because of an accident we need somepony to cover her; and since you’re the first on our list…” Rainbow was about to faint of excitement, was this true? Of course it wasn’t but as soon as Salvation accomplished their goal Spit Fire was going to give Rainbow a permanent position in the Wonderbolts as a compensation for what she was about to do. Spit Fire felt a little bad about this, she liked Rainbow Dash but they needed to stop the Secret Service if they wanted to defeat the alicorns. “Now the true reason I called you…” the Wonderbolt captain said taking a large needle from her backpack once they were far enough from Ponyville. “… sorry for lying to you Rainbow Dash, you’ll join us, I promise, but first I need you to be my hostage to stop your friend from fighting us” Rainbow froze in shock but then she began to laugh happily: “AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one Spit Fire, for a second I thought you were truly going to hurt me… is this a prank for newbies or something?” Spit Fire attacked and Rainbow barely dodged her; however the yellow Pegasus was an experienced soldier and it was about time for her to drug Rainbow. Still Rainbow was the fastest, but Spit Fire prevented this and before she could react she immobilized Rainbow with an expert hold. “Sorry Rainbow, but this is something I have to do; as long as the Secret Service exists we cannot win” The yellow Pegasus prepared the needle. “Don’t worry, this won’t hurt” Rainbow was frozen, what to do? What to do? Spit Fire was about to inject Rainbow with her drug… when a gray blur tackled her out of nowhere. The three ponies rolled all over the ground while Rainbow recovered from what just happened. Ponyville’s mailmare, Derpy, giggled stupidly. “Ups! I don’t know what went wrong, Derp!” Then she turned to Rainbow. “Uh, sorry Rainbow, did I interrupted something? Anyway, I have this letter for you” Rainbow gulped. “Derpy you just saved my life” The happy mailmare giggled. “Oh, was this letter so important? I’m happy to serve you!” Rainbow Dash hugged her happily. “Derpy, my friend Derpy I swear that if somepony dares to mock you about your clumsiness I’ll beat the shit out of them!” Spit Fire recovered and glared at Derpy. “You clumsy? Don’t make me laugh Derpy, back to the Flight Academy nopony, not even I, were capable to reach your level. Your grace, your expertise… I know no one who is remotely close to your skills, Derpy Hooves” Derpy sighed and faced the Wonderbolt captain. “I knew I won’t fool you Spit Fire. Anyway, in the name of the Secret Service you are under arrest for the charges of high betrayal, attempt to foalnap and conspiracy. You have the right to remain silent” “Fuck you!” Said Spit Fire flying away. Derpy grinded her teeth. “Rainbow, I need your help! Come on, right behind me!!” Said that, Derpy blasted off at great speed… making Rainbow’s jaw drop: she was even faster than Spit Fire. What just happened? Still she needed answers so she flew right behind Derpy. “DERPY! SINCE WHEN YOU CAN FLY LIKE THAT?” “SINCE ALWAYS! DASH, I’M GOING TO KNOCK HER DOWN AND YOU BETTER CATCH HER, WE NEED SPIT FIRE ALIVE!!” Rainbow gulped while Derpy took some kind of strange hoofcuffs and threw them to Spit Fire. The ‘wingcuffs’ (designed by Twilight) immobilized her wings making her fall. Rainbow accelerated and caught Spit Fire. Then Derpy took a muffin also from her mailbag and bitted it right after dropping it over Spit Fire. To the pegasus’ horror the muffin began to grow in size, bigger and bigger… to then smash her against the ground. “What was that?!” Asked Rainbow. “Bread-grenades” explained Spit Fire. “An especial recipe from our leader” “Great” mumbled Rainbow not-knowing what to think about all this. Derpy shrugged and rolled the giant muffin to Twilight’s Castle. This was going to be a long morning. From inside the muffin Spit Fire activated the device inside her teeth, this was not the end. Wednesday 5:23am; location unknown: Spit Fire’s emergency signal activated, alerting the terrorists. Maud, petting her loyal Boulder, shook her head in disappointment. “The Bird-brains and Hornys are too stupid” she said dryly. Fleur de Liz and Fancy Pants better kept quiet, they knew Maud was pretty scary when she was angry. The problem was that she was to stoic that nopony knew she was pissed until she detonated a high-power explosive somewhere. “And what are you planning to do?” Finally asked Fancy Pants. “Do you have a plan to neutralize Agent Belle?” Maud shrugged. “I won’t. You two idiots wasted valuable time and resources targeting only one pony, no, I’ll concentrate in our true goal. You endangered us too much already” “So you’re going with the original plan” mumbled Fleur. Maud nodded. “Yes, so?” Author's Note This is it, I certainly took my time but ey, this is a hard translation. I hope you liked it and as always: Read ya’ later!! 005Wednesday 5:54am; Palace of Friendship: “Especial delivery for Princess Twilight!” Called Derpy happily rolling a giant muffin to through the main door. “A giant muffin directly from Sugar Cube Corner!” Spike and Twilight gulped when they saw the enormous pastry coming in along with a very agitated Rainbow Dash. And of course they knew what it was; it was also the first time they saw one of the famous bread-grenades in action. From the second floor, Rarity and Blue Blood also saw the curious situation and raised an eyebrow. However for Rainbow’s sake, Twilight had to pretend this whole thing was completely normal until she left her home. “Oh Derpy, what a nice surprise! Who could send me something like this?” Derpy shook her head. “Rainbow knows I’m a secret agent Princess. I had to save her from somepony very dangerous (the one inside the muffin) and explain the whole situation. Sorry but it was that or endanger her life unnecessarily” “WHAT?!” Shouted Twilight. “How could this happen? Why did the enemy started targeting our friends?” “Considering the situation I’m not surprised” said Blue Blood joining to the conversation and activating his bowtie-transmitter. “Calling all units in Ponyville, report immediately to the Palace of Friendship. This is a red-code-situation, I repeat, a red-code situation” Twilight sighed and the group moved to the living room while they waited. The agents began to show up one by one; but they didn’t used the main door, to avoid suspicion for Twilight getting so may unusual guests, they had built several tunnels from the agents’ homes to the Palace in case of emergency. Rainbow couldn’t believe her eyes, first Derpy and now them: First of all, the human-obsessed mare Lyra Heartstrings; expert in communications. The new resident of Ponyville, the donkey Cranky Doodle; undercover courier. Rusty, the obnoxious blacksmith of the town and along with Twilight, equipment developer. And finally her, the absolute leader of the Secret Service… the brains of the entire operation. “WHAT? YOU TOO?!” Shouted Rarity and Rainbow Dash at the same time. The leader of all the spies cried happily and hugged her friends with the giant smile that characterized her. “Oh girls, you’re safe! It’s so good to see you. I thought I was going to lose you but then, oh Derpy thank you for saving Dashie! Blue, I know no better pony to take care of my beloved friend Rarity!” They both smiled to their leader. “I was only accomplishing with my duty” said Derpy. “It’s my pleasure to serve Equestria my captain, but right now I think we have a suspect to interrogate” said Blue Blood with seriousness. Derpy removed part of the bread revealing the head of Spit Fire. They all gasped, the Wonderbolt leader? But recovering from the first impression, Twilight extended her hoof to Spike who gave her a green potion that seemed suspicious. Spit Fire looked at them defiantly but the alicorn used her magic to force the liquid in her mouth and Derpy forced her to swallow by obstructing her nose. Finally Twilight looked at her sternly. “Now, can you tell me what’s going on, Spit Fire? What’s the meaning of all this?” Spit Fire didn’t bothered to lie, after all she knew all too well that they just gave her a truth-serum from Zebrica. “Are you stupid, Horny? We look for blood purity, return to the glorious days where the races won’t have to make contact to each other ever again. Soon enough the people will demand to the alicorns to disappear to allow us to go back to the simpler ways” Twilight’s eye twitched in irritation. “Who are you working for?” “I work for no pony, I’m one of the leaders” “What about Fancy Pants?” Questioned Blue Blood. “He’s other of the leaders, he founds the operation by divert money from several of his business” But then Spit Fire grinned evilly. “What’s so funny?” Asked the leader of the Secret Service. “Well, the idiot of Fancy Pants and I concentrated in get rid of the agent of the Secret Service that Fancy Pants himself guided to the core of our organization, but the third leader preferred to stick to the original plan and now with Fancy Pants unable to act from his current position and with me captured, the fun is about to start. Fancy Pants and I are very dangerous but the Earth-Worm… she is a true sociopath. The true brain behind the operation and the deadliest of the three of us” “And what’s the name of that pony?” Asked the leader of the Secret Service. Spit Fire grinned evilly, not bothering in trying to repress the answer, enjoying in anticipation the pain she was about to cause. “Maud, Maud Pie” The leader paled while she trembled entirely. No! It had to be a bad joke; Spit Fire was lying, she had to. But she was telling the true, Twilight’s truth serum last at least five hours. “No!” She mumbled. “YOU MUST BE WRONG!” “Oh, did I touched a nerve? The truth hurts idiot, but that’s the world we’re living” The leader of the Secret Service trembled and looked like she was about to faint. “Pinkie” mumbled Twilight offering a chair to her friend. But it was useless, Pinkie Pie, supreme leader of the Secret Service finally fainted because of impression. And then a massive tremor all over Equestria called everypony’s attention. “It is time!” Grinned Spit Fire. “The psycho did it” Location unknown; Wednesday 6:00am: “I did it” said Maud. “Send the message Fancy Pants” The businesspony nodded a pressed a button activating the artifacts placed all over the Kingdom ready to broadcast their message of salvation for the ponykind. Wednesday 6:00 am; all over Equestria: What looked like a completely normal day turned into something else when several statues representing the four Equestrian Princesses blew up in a thousand pieces at the same time making all the ponies go outside their homes to see what was going on. And then, from the wreckages a colorful fog began to form three pony-shapes: a Pegasus, a unicorn and an earth pony; the three of them covered in long black tunics that covered their faces but show their racial features to show everypony how a proud pure-blooded pony should look like. The Pegasus-shape began: “Greetings, proud ponies of all races; let me introduce us: we are the salvation of our kind. We are Salvation” “Salvation from what, you’re certainly asking” added the unicorn. “Well, salvation from this foolishness of the Kingdom of Equestria. Until the four alicorns came to ruin our lives and the natural balance between the three races, we all lived in a perfect world where unicorns only mated with other unicorns; pegasi with pegasi and earth ponies with earth ponies. What happened to us? What made us forget the perfection of our world making us mate to each other? They happened! THE ALICORNS!” The Pegasus shape continued: “Some of you have the blood so contaminated that we see cases where two pegasi have an earth pony or a unicorn; why is this? because of the alicorns, they forced us to forget what nature expects from us. We do not belong together, we were meant to be separated forever and ever!” Then the earth-pony shape finally spoke, sounding creepily dry and emotionless: “That’s why Salvation demand two things: the separation of the Kingdom of Equestria in our three original pony nations Unicorna, Peasopolis and Earth; and the banishment of the four alicorns from our world” All the ponies who witnessed the message began to mumble scared, what was going on? Who were this ponies? The Pegasus shape spoke again: “This is just a message prepared especially for this occasion, but what you’re about to see is happening live and directly. We live in fear my fellow ponies; fear that without the alicorns we won’t be able to survive in this hostile world. Well, you’re wrong, that’s what the alicorns want you to think, they keep us ignorant only to maintain their power. But interestingly enough, you are afraid but not from them; but the dangers we would face if they leave us” “We’re about to prove you that the ponykind is perfectly capable of survive without them” intervened again the unicorn shape. “Even if they go, ponies will prevail… in separated nations as it should be” The earth-pony nodded and cracked her neck calmly and slowly. “That’s why we’re going to destroy the enemies they made us so afraid of. We’ve been preparing this moment for months placing enough explosives in the magical prison known as Tartarus to destroy it with every single prisoner inside it. The alicorns made us afraid of this creatures but refuse to terminate them for good since they’re the base of their rule; well, that’s about to change. In a minute… they’ll be nothing but a mess that would need to be cleaned” Everypony watching the message shivered at the earth-pony’s tone, she sounded so calm, so dry… like she didn’t really care about what she was saying. The colored fog changed to show everypony a giant cave in the middle of a mountain in the middle of nowhere; covered with a giant iron-gate and guarded by an enormous dog with three heads who was scratching behind his ears like a normal dog. It was for real? The three shapes were serious about this? In Canterlot both Luna and Celestia shivered when they saw it, no, it couldn’t be. But it was, soon enough a powerful explosion inside the horrible place shook the giant mountain followed by other non-less violent explosions all over the place reducing it to nothing. Cerberus was barking in fear, running in circles unsure what to do now… until a final much bigger explosion right under him blew him away. Everypony gasped in fear. What just happened? At the end the magic fog vanished but the message was clear. Wednesday 6:11am; Palace of Friendship: None of the members of the Secret Service could say anything about what happened. Only Blue Blood was discussing furiously with his aunt at the communication device inside his flower but then nothing else. When he finished all the spies were in a dead silence unsure what to do now. A dead silence that Spit Fire broke with a cruel chuckle. “Impressive, I must compliment Maud Pie for that excellent for placing the explosives so brilliantly. Poor little doggie, was it too much for him? And what do you think about my performance? I’m more like an acrobat but damn my speeches are also good” In the meantime Rainbow and Rarity were busy trying to awoke poor Pinkie Pie. “Maud, I don’t get it, I just don’t get it” mumbled the cyan mare. “I always thought she was odd… but this? “What happened to her? “I don’t understand neither” said sadly Rarity still trembling because of her nerves. “First Fancy Pants is evil, then Blue Blood is a true gentlecolt and now one of my best friend’s sister is also evil” Then Rarity noticed Blue Blood who was drinking silently and gave her a sad smile. “I told you, remember Miss Belle? A good spy knows that whoever you suspect the less is the one you should be careful. Besides we’ve confirmed Fancy’s participation; during the last years he has been financing a supposed beneficence but when we checked, it didn’t exist. At first the IRS thought it was to avoid taxes but it was much more” “Maud’s participation is also confirmed” said Pinkie Pie awaking. “For generations Pie family have provided the strongest rocks and a especial cement developed by great-granny to reinforce the Tartarus. She had to mix the explosive mix with it” “How often you deliver those shipments?” Asked Rarity. “Giving Celestia’s paranoia, every month” mumbled Pinkie. Spit Fire laughed loudly. “Ow, you poor little thing. Did your sister just broke the confidence placed in you family? Ha-Ha” Pinkie Pie shrieked in rage and punched her at the jaw making Spit Fire unconscious. Once Pinkie calmed, turned to the agents. “I know is against the rules to intervene when family is involved but I’m the only one who can make Maud lower her guard so there’s no choice. Once I reveal their hideout it’ll be on your hooves, understood?” The agents nodded and prepared themselves for the battle, especially Blue Blood. But then Pinkie placed a hoof on his shoulder. “Blue, you’re the one who have worked the most in this case, so why don’t you take a rest at least while I go talk to my sister? As far as I know you haven’t sleep properly because of all this so go on” Blue Blood thanked her with a smile. “I guess you’re right boss, okay” Pinkie smiled to him sadly and ran to the train station. She had to locate Maud no matter what and the first step was to go to her parents’ house for some answers. The other agents left behind her waiting for her call… leaving Twilight alone with her friends and Blue Blood. “Okay, I’ll go rest but first I need a drink, do you mind if I open your scotch Twi?” Asked the white unicorn. “Go on” smiled Twilight. Rarity looked Blue Blood leaving and turned to Twilight. “So Twilight, may I ask you something?” “Sure Rarity, what’s wrong?” “Why somepony like him haves to pretend to be a jerk? His true self is very kind and likable… so why in all fake personalities he had to choose that one? Twilight sighed. “Is a long story Rarity, but let’s say in all his life Blue Blood’s greatest love was theater. His childhood dream was to become a famous actor; and because following his ambitions he ended up like this” Author's Note So here it is, another chapter of my translation. I hope you liked it and also… I know some of you want me to continue translating Chaos: the age of Spike; I’ll but just give me a little time to order my thoughts, after all I just finished the story in Spanish and I need to recover from that before I continue with the translation. In the meantime: Read ya’ later!!
001Location unknown; Sunday 11:29pm: Maud Pie evaluated the place with her cold creepily calculating eyes; not missing any detail of her companions while petting her pet rock Boulder. Finally she yawned indifferently and went straight to the point: “Alright: mares and gentlecolts, we’re reunited because after three years of preparations, our real operations are about to start. In a not so distant future…” “This foolishness of the Kingdom of Equestria will finish and everything will be back to normal: three different kingdoms without having any contact to each other; and I won’t see your ugly faces again. No offense intended.” Finished Fancy Pants with an evil grin. “Don’t worry” shrugged Spit Fire. “Who cares about what a ‘horny' have to say, huh? It’s just as ridiculous as listen to rocks” “Easy Boulder, easy” said Maud Pie petting her angry rock. “Soon enough we won’t have to interact with this individuals again; no talking nor trading or even… reproduce with them” The three leaders shivered in disgust; after all they were proud descendants of pure blood lines: more than ten generations of unicorns marrying only with unicorns; pegasi mixing exclusively with pegasi and earth ponies having children only with other earth ponies. Fancy pants even guided his daughter’s sexuality to make her like only other mares; he preferred a thousand times a lesbian daughter than risking to have a non-unicorn descendant. Unfortunately for him his daughter Fancy Vanilla (AKA DJP03 Vinyl Scratch) married an earth pony mare, Octavia Melody. “Anyway, I propose a toast for the end of our forced society and the beginning of paradise” said Fancy Pants. “CHEERS!” Canterlot, Monday 05:29am: It was a beautiful day, perfect to cheer anypony. Princess Celestia, (after rising the sun and have a light breakfast) went to open her school, the Academy for Gifted Unicorns while humming happily the theme of ‘Friendship is Magic’. But as soon as she introduced the key to the keyhole, something called her attention, the door was open. “What?” Suddenly, a powerful explosion sent the sun Princess to a wall of a close building. Celestia created a force-field just in time before a second explosion destroyed the rest of the building and the surroundings. Several guards trotted to the scene. “Are you alright, your highness?” “Yes, I’m alright” she said. “Call every military leader to an emergency reunion, I have a feeling that this is only the beginning” Canterlot, Ministry of Defense Monday 7:00am: “Gentlecolts, you already have an hour and a half. I want results, right now” ordered Celestia with a frown. Shining Armor, leader of the Crystal Guard exchanged a nervous look with the sun captain, Master Sword and finally bowed to Celestia. Shining, the one who lost the bet, beginning to explain using his magic to create a map of Equestria with twelve red points all over it. Celestia raised an eyebrow. “As you can see, Princess Celestia, the Academy of Gifted Unicorns was only one of twelve different targets, all this schools you see on the map were also destroyed at the same time by this unknown organization. Besides your school, also the Trottingham Magic Institute and Fillydelphia Academy of Magic Arts were terminated; the three of them placed in cities populated mostly by unicorns” Celestia raised an eyebrow but nodded. Shining continued: “Also, in the three schools we found these” He used his magic to show Celestia the old flag of the lost nation Unicornia. “The other attacked schools were the Weather Control University and the Flying Academy; both of them located in Clousdale. Then another school in Los Pegasos and other in Hurricante City; and in the four schools we found the emblem of Pegasopolis” Celestia nodded. “And let me guess: the last academies that were attacked were the Mane-Hattan Tech; Maredrid’s Academy of Arts and Sciences; Appleloosa Agronomy University and Stalliongrado Mix School where you found the flag of Earth, the lost earth pony nation” Shining nodded nervously and Celestia frowned again, this was starting to form a pattern; and she didn’t like it. Then Master Sword approached shyly: “Looking at the bright side, there was no casualties nor injured ponies, it was too early in the morning. And after hours of investigation, we found several home-made explosives, very powerful but impossible to locate; the same kind of explosive commonly used in rock farms” Again bad news, so the ones who did this knew what they were doing and left no clue behind, this was getting worse. Celestia bit her lip and began to walk in circles while the military leaders were looking at her concerned. Suddenly the door opened letting pass good for nothing of Celestia’s nephew: Princes Blue Blood, who was kissing passionately with a gray mare with blonde mane and tail. Derpy Hooves blushed when Blue Blood lowered his hooves to her hips beginning to… “Blue Blood!” Called Celestia angrily. The Prince looked surprised. “Auntie! What are you doing here? All of you! This building is always empty, why are you all here?” “Because we have an emergency you idiot” said Shining Armor approaching to the irritating prince. “Now go annoy anywhere else, okay? We have grownups things to do” Blue Blood shrugged arrogantly. “Oh my! I think I hear something, but it can’t be. It sounds like a plebe trying to lecture a superior, something so pathetic that doesn’t deserve my attention” Shining’s facer turned red and was about to respond the arrogant idiot; while the other generals silently walked away already knowing what was about to happen: both of them discussing for a while and when Celestia would have enough, she’ll force Blue Blood to apologize. A so common scene that everypony preferred to avoid it and continue the war council later. In the meantime, both stallions continued arguing when Celestia looked at the window and spotted the other generals leaving. She nodded. “Okay, they’re gone” Shining Armor and Blue Blood stopped arguing and hugged each other affectionately like the great friends they were. “I should know” smiled Shining Armor to his childhood friend. “The gravity of the situation requires the intervention of the Secret Service. Dude, great acting; I’m impressed how easily you change your personality” Blue Blood shrugged with a warm smile. “Is not the great thing Shine, after all is my talent as an actor what brought me where I am now” Shining was about to say something else but Celestia interrupted: “Alright, leaving that aside, tell me Blue Blood and agent Hooves: have found anything?” The prince turned to Derpy, (whose lose eye went back to normal position and her silly smile turned into a the normal expression of a high-ranked solider). “As a matter of fact, my unit located a powerful magic temporizer on the explosives’’ carcasses; indicating that those things were there for weeks. And the worst part is that they didn’t bother to hide it, like leaving a message to us: they could kill the students any time they wanted” “So I was right, this was only the beginning” mumbled Celestia. “Yes Princess, I’m afraid that we’ll know more about this enemy very soon” said Derpy bowing to the Princess. Celestia nodded, this was what she feared. “Alright, for this mission I guess you’ll need new equipment. Here you go, the latest Twilight Sparkle’s prototypes” She made appear to suitcases, one for each agent of the Secret Service. On the one she gave to Blue Blood were a bow tie, a rose to his lapel, a gold hair brush and a gold pen. And on Derpy’s there was a mail bag, a mailmare cap and a basket of muffins. “Derpy, the letters on the mail bag are powerful weapons you could need, look at the envelopes. The sepia ones have a smoke screen you could use as a distraction; the white ones are sharply boomerangs you can throw in your aerial maneuvers; and the pink ones contain nerve gas for cases of extreme need only. Your cap is really a magic transmitter that will communicate with me at any moment; and the basket of muffins… those were backed by your leader herself, I don’t know what they do but knowing her, are very dangerous things. Use them wisely” Derpy military saluted Celestia, she was ready. “Blue Blood: like Derpy’s cap, your rose is a powerful magical transmitter; keep me informed. Also, you bow tie have a hidden camera, I need you to photograph every single piece of evidence you find; or anything suspicious. We need to be prepared. Next, your hair brush is equipped with a force-field spell, brush your hair one time and you’ll be immune to any kind of magical attacks for fifteen minutes; approximately, that depends of the spell, but be careful Blue Blood: you can only use it three time. And last but not least, the pen is a miniature Taser; again, only in cases of extreme need.” The Prince examined his gadgets and nodded. Princess Celestia smiled warmly: “Like always, I ask you to be careful, but I trust you can locate and stop this terrorist organization in a matter of days. You’re my best agents, my ultimate weapon against terrorism; those who stop every conflict before it stars” Blue Blood and Derpy nodded, they were prepared. Celestia smiled again: “Now I leave you, I have to give my declarations to press. Please be safe” Said that, she left flying leaving Shining Armor alone with the spies. He friendly punched Blue Blood and winked an eye to him. “Are you ready for this, pal?” “Of course, and like always, the prodigy of your sister provided us with the finest gadgets in the market. What could go wrong?” Shining’s face turned serious. “Please be careful, remember we don’t know anything about this enemy” “You be careful” said Blue Blood. “I fight from the shadows, you show your face; if somepony have to be careful, it is you Shine” And then they walked away, the most secret agents of Celestia’s most secret servce. Author's Note And another of my translations, I hope you liked it; one of the few stories in the spanish fandom that say something possitive about Prince Blue Blood. He as the hero, what do you think? Anyway: Read ya later!!
002Blue Blood’s mansion; Monday 14:09pm: Blue Blood returned home after an entire afternoon of looking for information all over Canterlot, and also annoying the hard-working ponies who were in charge of protect the affected area from the curious. They of course only did their jobs but Blue Blood appeared with his irritating tone to force them to let him pass: I am Princess Celestia’s nephew and a former prominent student; I demand to pass right now, I want to check if the damages affected the records of my successes as a student and…” They let him pass only because they were too tired of him. Back to the present Blue Blood sighed thinking on the ponies he pissed off on the daily basis. “Of all the military positions, why do I have to have this one? If I keep like this soon enough I’ll lose all the friends all have” He entered to his home ready for a good afternoon and night of good sleep. He woke up at dawn and he haven’t rested yet, not even eaten but the tiredness was stronger than his appetite. Tiredly he took an apple to not have to wake up to eat in the middle of his nap and began to chew it softly while he checked his mail before go to bed. It was the usual: threats, more threats, complains, again threats and strip-club bills we’ll send to Princess Celestia (those were the best places to collect information, that’s why she keep paying bills of such places) and an annoying invitation to a party from certain group that desperately tried to recruit him. As always he was about to threw it to the trashcan when he noticed something odd. Taking a close look of the invitation, it had a seal of the old flag of Unicornia. “No way!” He gasped. Then he ran to a pile of newspapers (or his scandals collection) looking for a specific date. He found it: —BLUE BLOOD DECLARES NON-UNICORNS ARE INFERIOR PONIES— Yesterday, during a high-class party sponsored by Fancy Pants, our favorite Royal Pain Prince Blue Blood shouted to everypony his pride of being a unicorn. That can be considered normal, but then he added that other races are inferior, and quote: ‘I’m just saying that the second more important thing after being royalty is being a unicorn. Earth ponies are filthy, pegasi are rude and quarrelsome. Our race is the only one who knows how to behave like a decent pony. And I wonder, are the other inferior races ponies as well? Or something lower?’ The article kept going complaining against him, as always; but what really called his attention was that immediately after that scandal, the invitations began to appear on his mailbox. He took the most recent one and checked it was dated for that night. “And there goes half of my rest” he sighed while activating his transmitter. “Auntie? It’s me, I have a trail but please don’t mobilize any units until I say so. I must confirm it” From her side, Princess Celestia smiled pleased. “You have all my confidence Blue Blood. Do what you have to do” Monday 7:00pm; residential Canterlot Gardens: After throwing a few bits to the good earth pony who drove his cab, Blue Blood walked to the house his invitation indicated. He recognized the place, it was a residential complex owned mostly by Fancy Pants. With his best spoiled-brat-expression, he demandingly knocked the door. “Is anypony in there? Open up in this instant! It’s me, Princess Celestia’s nephew himself, Blue Blood. Open up or I’ll be forced to complain in every tabloid about your rudeness with me” The house butler opened the door slightly annoyed but used to this kind of stuffs. Instead of say something he gently guided the prince to the living room, where Fleur de Liz, Fancy Pants, the famous jeweler Goldand Diamonds and (most to Blue Blood’s surprise) Rarity Belle were sharing a digestive. The first three seemed genuinely surprised but pleased to see him; but in the other hoof Rarity gasped in disgust and avoided eye-contact. Blue Blood felt guilty for the mare, he knew Rarity had her reasons to hate him after what happened at the Gala, but he had his reasons as well to behave as he did. Anyway he made a face of disgust and presented his invitation to the group. “I suppose you’re the ones behind this poor excuse of advertisement in my mailbox” Goldand Diamonds rolled his eyes but chuckled, even if he disliked the prince he was the kind of pony they needed for the cause: rich and with influence in the Palace. By his way Fancy Pants gently offered a drink: “Blue Blood, I’m so glad you decided to join us after all this months inviting you. Come on, take a sit” “Service, bring his majesty a glass of anisette as he likes and prepare an extra service on the table please” commanded Fleur. “I’m so glad you two accepted our invitation” Blue Blood looked at Rarity. “Whatever, and you are?” Rarity grinded her teeth but preferred not to dignify that offensive question with an answer. Once again Blue felt some remorse but that wasn’t the time to think about it. He just sat and crossed his hooves. “Okay, I hope you three had a good reason for calling me, I’m a very busy pony and you should be honored to have me” “As charming as always” grumped Rarity. “Please miss Rarity, he is welcome in this house as much or perhaps a little bit more than you” said Fancy Pants. Blue Blood raised an eyebrow, this was odd. Smiling, Fancy Pants cleaned his monocle while Blue Blood fixed his bowtie to activate the transmitter; he had the feeling Princess Celestia would like to hear this. “The point is I’ve being investigating your lineages and I must say I’m very impressed” began Fancy Pants. “Blue Blood comes from a family with at least nine generations of pure-blooded unicorns; there’s no trace of earth pony or pegasi blood staining his system. And for Rarity Belle, six generations; as not as impressive but still very, very good. In this fake paradise of forced coexistence with inferior pony races, legacies as ours are vanishing. Our younger generations don’t appreciate the importance of pure-blood. Even my daughter Vanilla preferred to mate with a filthy earth pony; gross, but at least is a lesbian and there will be no children for that unfortunate marriage” Rarity looked at her friend with disbelief in her eyes, was he serious? Just like Blue Blood, she had being receiving invitations for that reunions for months, but she always ignored them until Fancy Pants wrote her personally. And what was he talking about? Was the most respected unicorn of Canterlot a racist? “We live in a time of change” said Fleur de Liz. “But not always those changes are good. Soon the pony society will be back to normal: each race by their own as it haves to be” Rarity and Blue Blood shivered, this was what the spy feared. Luckily his aunt already received all the information by the transmitter, but still this unnerved him a lot. “I invited you to form part of our dream” continued Fancy Pants. “Blue Blood, you are an idiot but also you’re on the perfect position to pass us information about the Castle. Cooperate with us and you won’t regret. Miss Rarity Belle, I know you enough to know you would love to live in a world full of sophistication and glamour as only unicorns can have. Join us and your wildest dreams will come true. No more pegasi nor earth ponies in our way, not anymore” Goldand Diamonds joined to the speech: “To achieve our goals we joined forces with those inferior races; but they share the same dream to not see each other faces again. Our alliance limits itself to mutual tolerance until we separate forever; but thanks to our cooperation we’re closer than ever” “So you want us to join to your organization?” Asked Blue and Rarity at the same time. Fleur de Liz smiled creepily. “Not just ‘an organization’ my friends. Join us, join to Salvation” Then the butler, Great Service, came with a letter that he offered to Fancy Pants. The eyes of the terrorist leader passed from Blue Blood to Rarity, then back to Blue and stopped in rarity. “Aw, and I used to like you Miss Rarity Belle” Rarity gulped, what was going on? “Fancy Pants?” She asked scared. “Our informants from the Royal Guard just confirmed our fears, Celestia mobilized the Secret Service; the most dangerous army division to our plans. Anyway; from nowhere you two suddenly decide to accept my invitation” Fleur sighed. “We have to choices: the idiot of Blood, and you. Is not too hard to figure out who is the spy. So, how you want to die Rarity Belle?” Rarity screamed and tried to escape but the butler Service immobilized her with his magic. Blue Blood gasped in fear, if he moved they could kill Rarity… but if he didn’t do something they’ll kill her anyway. Luckily enough Goldand Diamonds placed a gentle hoof on his shoulder. “Sorry for this Blue Blood, but Rarity Belle endangers our entire operation. Please, follow me, you don’t have to see how we kill her” And he guided the speechless prince to another room. In the meantime Fancy Pants shook his head sadly and proceed to retire as well. “Even if she is a danger to our goals, I prefer not to see this. Bye” “Yeah, until I knew she was a spy from the Crown, I considered her almost a friend” added Fleur. And they both teleported away. Blue Blood took his golden pen and before Goldand Diamond could react, he electrocuted with the secret device on it. Goldand fell totally unconscious while Blue Blood ran to save Rarity. The butler Great Service gasped when Blue Blood knocked him down with mastery and held him with an expert chokehold. “Easy pal” Finally Service surrendered to the Prince, who put him a couple of hoof-cuffs and sighed. “This was a close call. Are you alright, miss Rarity Belle?” The fashionista looked around very scared. “Blue Blood… what’s going on here?” “Nothing good, I can assure you that” said the prince activating his transmitter again. “Auntie, did you saw what happened?” From Blue Blood’s bowtie, the image of Celestia emerged seeming really worried. “I did, and already sent an especial task-force but Fancy Pants and Fleur de Liz used an especial device to hide where they teleported” “Damn it” mumbled blue Blood. “And what about Rarity Belle?” Celestia sighed. “I’m afraid that thanks to Fancy’s mistake, she’ll become a main target for the organization known as Salvation. So for her security we must train her in order to protect her from the terrorist. Is on to you Blue Blood. And Rarity Belle: I’m truly sorry about this but, welcome to the Secret Service”
003Ponyville, Carrusel Boutique; Tuesday 7:45am Rarity woke up after what she thought a really bad dream. She was tired, really tired. “Oh for Celestia’s sake, is really late!” She said checking her alarm clock. “I almost have no time for my morning beauty ritual! Well Rarity, you must woke up an hour earlier tomorrow to make sure you won’t waste your efforts! Anyway, I better have some breakfast and a long shower” But then she heard a noise in the kitchen. Bad sign; it meant that Sweetie Belle was cooking! Rarity ran downstairs as fast as she could but she stopped at her dining room when she saw the little unicorn filly eating happily. “Sweetie Belle? What are you doing here? Is somepony else in the kitchen?” Asked Rarity very agitated. The unicorn filly smiled happily. “Yes, the handsome stallion who brought you home last night right after you fainted. He said he carried you the entire way from Canterlot to here and then put you in your bed. He’s very kind… I mean, he even made us breakfast, and I helped!” Rarity needed a minute to process what Sweetie Belle just said and shivered. So it wasn’t a dream? Confirming her fears, Blue Blood entered to the dining room carrying with his magic two plates of eggs with haybacon and fruits; and also a jar of coffee. “Good morning miss Rarity Belle, I thought you were going to sleep late. After all what happened last night is only natural to be exhausted. Anyway here you go” And just like that he gave her breakfast. Rarity shook her head, she needed to clear her thoughts. Blue Blood noticed it and turned to Sweetie Belle. “Sweetie, darling, do you mind go to your room for a little? your sister and I have something very important to discuss” Sweetie Belle giggled and winked an eye. “Oh, grownups talk, I get it Mr. Blue” Then she turned to her sister. “Good catch sist, he’s handsome and polite” Rarity was about to protest but the filly was already upstairs. When they heard the door closing, Blue Blood turned to Rarity seeming very concerned. “So this is the situation miss Rarity Belle: your life is in danger until we stop Fancy Pants and his group. Thanks for the events from last night, Fancy Pants think you are one of us and the Terrorist Organization Salvation won’t stop until they wipe you out of the map” Rarity shook her head in horror. “It can’t be true!” “I’m afraid it is” said Blue Blood. “Did you heard about the schools incident? That was Fancy Pants’ group, we’re dealing with that kind of ponies” Rarity gulped and Blue Blood nodded sadly. “I really wish there’s other way miss Rarity Belle, but it isn’t. Because of this misunderstanding you’re now the main target of this ponies and the only way we can save you is teaching you to defend yourself” Rarity took a big sip from her coffee. “I really don’t get it. You a nice pony, Fancy Pants a villain. It doesn’t make sense!” “Welcome to the world of espionage miss Rarity Belle, is all about faking your true personality in order to avoid suspicion” said Blue Blood. “However, from now on I’m your assigned bodyguard and trainer. For the next days I’ll teach you the basis of self-defense and weaponry” “WHAT?!” Blue Blood nodded again. “I never wanted to this to happen Rarity Belle, but there’s no choice nor way back. But luckily for you, you won’t be alone. Your friend Twilight Sparkle is also a valuable member of our organization. She’ll help us in every way she can. After she heard about your predicament, Twilight spent the next six hours designing the perfect weapon equipment for you in case you have to fight” Rarity trembled, why this had to happen to her? At the end she looked to the stallion to his eyes. “Blue Blood, may I ask you something?” “Go ahead” “Your behavior during the Gala was part of this?” He nodded. “I owe you a big apology for that, miss Rarity Belle. That night I was instructed to approach to a suspect called Marshmallow Star, whose description was a unicorn with white fur and purple mane. I approached to you thinking you were my target, but Twilight indicated me I was mistaken so I did my best to force you leave my side. However I crossed a line of rudeness I swore myself not to cross again. I’m sorry for that” Rarity was about to say something, but suddenly she noted something in the eyes of the prince: sadness. What happened to him? Location unknown; Tuesday 12:09pm: Maud Pie was petting her rock Boulder as other villains petted their cats, when Fancy Pants and Fleur de Liz materialized inside the Salvation base. She raised an eyebrow but remained silent; one of the golden rules of the racists terrorists was not to talk between races unless it was absolutely necessary. “Okay we bumped into the Secret Service but we neutralized their agent before she could find anything. We can stay calm” Maud Pie shrugged and kept petting boulder. “If you have to say something, say it earth-worm” defied Fleur. Maud limited herself to kiss boulder. “Boulder is smart, not like the hornys who only think they are” Fancy and Fleur were about to protest but Spit Fire walked in and showed them the newspaper: FANCY PANTS WANTED. Beloved businesspony accused of high betrayal and mass murderer “You are an idiot Fancy Pants” said Spit Fire. “Thanks to you we lost an agent and now the entire Secret Service is chasing us” The marriage shrunk in shame, where did they failed? Then a rock hit them on the head hard. “Sorry about that. Bad Boulder!” Said Maud. “EY!!” Complained both unicorns. Spit Fire grinded her teeth. “I just have a question, idiots: why did you left before you made sure we really terminated the agent, huh? Do you have flowers growing inside your brain or what? That was the dumbest mistake ever!” Fancy Pants took air. “Okay, we underestimated the spy, right? But it doesn’t matter since we know her identity: Rarity Belle from Ponyville. The Element of Generosity, somepony very close to the Crown and savor of Equestria. I appreciate her and that’s why I lowered my guard, but it won’t happen again” “No, it won’t happen because you two are staying here until we finish” said Spit Fire. “Rarity Belle, you said? Fine, I’ll take care of her” “Do you have any idea?” Asked Fleur. Spit Fire nodded. “Yes. That bunch of girls self-proclaim their friendship is the strongest in Equestria. Well, let’s take advantage of it. It won’t be easy but I think I can take one of their friends as a hostage to prevent Rarity Belle to take action against us” Maud nodded. “The idiot who wants to be a Wonderbolt” Spit Fire grinned evilly. “Let’s see how far would Rainbow go to join the Wonderbolts. It’s a shame, she’s naturally gifted and would be a great addition to us but we have to make sacrifices in order to win” The three terrorists leaders plus one laughed, this was going to be really easy. But then a rock hit Fancy and Fleur again. “Bad Boulder!” Scolded Maud again.
004Tuesday 9:03am; Palace of Friendship: Twilight was walking in circles as always when she was in one of her crisis. Why? Why does things had to be this difficult? Why Rarity? She was so innocent, so nice; such a great pony, and now she was in the middle of a struggle between the Secret Service and one of the most dangerous organizations so far. Anyway Spike did his best to calm her down: “Twi, breath please” he said calmly. “Remember she’s with Blue Blood. And remember what you and Shining always say, that you would trust your lives to him” Twilight nodded, she knew Spike was right but still she was worried for her friend. “I know but why it had to be Rarity? Applejack or Rainbow Dash are stronger, they could deal with all this better than her” “Let’s thank Celestia it wasn’t Fluttershy at least” said Spike. “Rarity can handle a little more than her, and she always surprised us with her ability to deal with difficult situations. Remember when she was kidnaped by the Diamond Dogs? Besides she’s not alone. With your brain and Blue’s ability she’ll be safe” “You think so?” Asked Twilight. “I’m sure” said the little dragon opening the door to Rarity and Blue Blood. The most secret agent of Celestia’s most secret service made a small nod to greet Spike while Twilight practically jumped to give Rarity a big hug of relief. “Twilight… you’re chocking me” mumbled the white unicorn a little uncomfortable. Twilight released her but she was still very worried. “I’m so sorry Rarity, I just couldn’t sleep until I make sure you were alright. Since Princess Celestia informed me of what happened I’ve been working in something for your defense” Spike approached with the finest makeup set anypony could buy. “It looks like makeup, you can use it as makeup but it is a high-level spy arsenal” explained the dragon. “Be careful Rarity, we don’t want you to hurt yourself” “Thank you Spikey-wikey” said Rarity. “But… are you a part of this too?” Spike nodded. “As a dragon I have messenger breath, that the Secret Service use as a tactical advantage. I pretend to be Twilight’s number one assistant, but in fact I’m an expert in communications keeping the Secret Service in touch all the time” Twilight hugged the dragon. “He’s our youngest agent. The friendship reports were his idea; doing so nopony find suspicious me writing letters to Princess Celestia all the time. You see, I use to hide instructions or status reports to the Princess inside the friendship letters, is kind of fun to encode messages” Spike returned the hug thankfully and began to explain to Rarity: “First the brushes, see the brand label?” Asked the dragon showing the instrument to Rarity, who nodded. “Well, in fact it’s a device that haves the same effect that Blue Blood’s comb: it activates a shield-spell level 10; effective enough to protect you from any kind of magical and physical attacks except for alicorns. How many, it depends of the attack strength but still enough to help you to survive. Then he showed the eyelash curler. “This one is the most important and dangerous: it shots a small amount nerve-gas powerful enough to knock a pony of the size of Bulk Biceps for example” Rarity nodded gulping, this seemed more dangerous that she thought. Then Spike showed her the eye-masks. “Okay, those are really interesting: the blue ones have an especial spell to sharpen your eyesight to unmeasurable levels. The green ones also give you X-ray vision but is still on experimental phase, you can’t see through walls more than two seconds” Rarity nodded again while Spike finally took the sample of perfume. “This one is the most important: is the transmitter; whenever you need you can communicate with any of us. Take care Rarity, the Secret Service is no game” Rarity didn’t know what to say; but Twilight was already thinking in a plan: “First things first: I’ve mobilized all units in Ponyville to watch for our friends in case this organization try to use them to get to us…” …and she yawned and fell asleep, she couldn’t take more; so Spike too k her in his arms and dragged her to her bedroom. “I guess she had a long night. Anyway, please practice with that things in one of the empty rooms. In the meantime I’ll go read comics or something” Said that, Blue Blood made a gently gesture to Rarity to follow him, the whole thing was really weird, nopony was who they supposed to be. What now? Anyway, she followed Blue Blood to train; the fastest this nightmare ends, better. Wednesday 4:55 am; Ponyville Outskirts Rainbow Dash was more excited than ever before, while reading the letter over and over. It was a Blue letter with the official seal of the Wonderbolts, signed by Spit Fire herself: Dear Rainbow Dash, how you’re doing, recruit? I’ve wrote you because on next show we’ll need your help. This show in particular is very important and we must close it greatly; so I was thinking in your Sonic Rainboom. I hope you can help us, and prepare: this will open you the doors to officially join us permanently. If you’re interested come to see me at Ponyville’s outskirts at 5:00 am. Sincerely yours, Spit Fire. Rainbow couldn’t believe her luck, was this for real? She even woke up at 3:00 am only to be there an hour and a half before Spit Fire arrived. Finally Spit Fire landed before her, waring the military uniform she wore at the Wonderbolt Academy, her sunglasses and a little backpack. “Oh hello there Rainbow Dash” greeted Spit Fire. “Giving your reputation I’m actually surprised to see you this early” “Ey, if the Wonderbolts call you better hurry, besides I haven’t slept the whole night!” Spit Fire nodded. “Now let’s talk about serious business” said the mare. “Shall we walk?” Rainbow would preferred to fly but still she nodded. Spit Fire began to explain: “So as you already know we have a very hard selection process; and with a show in just two weeks and Fleet Floot incapacitated because of an accident we need somepony to cover her; and since you’re the first on our list…” Rainbow was about to faint of excitement, was this true? Of course it wasn’t but as soon as Salvation accomplished their goal Spit Fire was going to give Rainbow a permanent position in the Wonderbolts as a compensation for what she was about to do. Spit Fire felt a little bad about this, she liked Rainbow Dash but they needed to stop the Secret Service if they wanted to defeat the alicorns. “Now the true reason I called you…” the Wonderbolt captain said taking a large needle from her backpack once they were far enough from Ponyville. “… sorry for lying to you Rainbow Dash, you’ll join us, I promise, but first I need you to be my hostage to stop your friend from fighting us” Rainbow froze in shock but then she began to laugh happily: “AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one Spit Fire, for a second I thought you were truly going to hurt me… is this a prank for newbies or something?” Spit Fire attacked and Rainbow barely dodged her; however the yellow Pegasus was an experienced soldier and it was about time for her to drug Rainbow. Still Rainbow was the fastest, but Spit Fire prevented this and before she could react she immobilized Rainbow with an expert hold. “Sorry Rainbow, but this is something I have to do; as long as the Secret Service exists we cannot win” The yellow Pegasus prepared the needle. “Don’t worry, this won’t hurt” Rainbow was frozen, what to do? What to do? Spit Fire was about to inject Rainbow with her drug… when a gray blur tackled her out of nowhere. The three ponies rolled all over the ground while Rainbow recovered from what just happened. Ponyville’s mailmare, Derpy, giggled stupidly. “Ups! I don’t know what went wrong, Derp!” Then she turned to Rainbow. “Uh, sorry Rainbow, did I interrupted something? Anyway, I have this letter for you” Rainbow gulped. “Derpy you just saved my life” The happy mailmare giggled. “Oh, was this letter so important? I’m happy to serve you!” Rainbow Dash hugged her happily. “Derpy, my friend Derpy I swear that if somepony dares to mock you about your clumsiness I’ll beat the shit out of them!” Spit Fire recovered and glared at Derpy. “You clumsy? Don’t make me laugh Derpy, back to the Flight Academy nopony, not even I, were capable to reach your level. Your grace, your expertise… I know no one who is remotely close to your skills, Derpy Hooves” Derpy sighed and faced the Wonderbolt captain. “I knew I won’t fool you Spit Fire. Anyway, in the name of the Secret Service you are under arrest for the charges of high betrayal, attempt to foalnap and conspiracy. You have the right to remain silent” “Fuck you!” Said Spit Fire flying away. Derpy grinded her teeth. “Rainbow, I need your help! Come on, right behind me!!” Said that, Derpy blasted off at great speed… making Rainbow’s jaw drop: she was even faster than Spit Fire. What just happened? Still she needed answers so she flew right behind Derpy. “DERPY! SINCE WHEN YOU CAN FLY LIKE THAT?” “SINCE ALWAYS! DASH, I’M GOING TO KNOCK HER DOWN AND YOU BETTER CATCH HER, WE NEED SPIT FIRE ALIVE!!” Rainbow gulped while Derpy took some kind of strange hoofcuffs and threw them to Spit Fire. The ‘wingcuffs’ (designed by Twilight) immobilized her wings making her fall. Rainbow accelerated and caught Spit Fire. Then Derpy took a muffin also from her mailbag and bitted it right after dropping it over Spit Fire. To the pegasus’ horror the muffin began to grow in size, bigger and bigger… to then smash her against the ground. “What was that?!” Asked Rainbow. “Bread-grenades” explained Spit Fire. “An especial recipe from our leader” “Great” mumbled Rainbow not-knowing what to think about all this. Derpy shrugged and rolled the giant muffin to Twilight’s Castle. This was going to be a long morning. From inside the muffin Spit Fire activated the device inside her teeth, this was not the end. Wednesday 5:23am; location unknown: Spit Fire’s emergency signal activated, alerting the terrorists. Maud, petting her loyal Boulder, shook her head in disappointment. “The Bird-brains and Hornys are too stupid” she said dryly. Fleur de Liz and Fancy Pants better kept quiet, they knew Maud was pretty scary when she was angry. The problem was that she was to stoic that nopony knew she was pissed until she detonated a high-power explosive somewhere. “And what are you planning to do?” Finally asked Fancy Pants. “Do you have a plan to neutralize Agent Belle?” Maud shrugged. “I won’t. You two idiots wasted valuable time and resources targeting only one pony, no, I’ll concentrate in our true goal. You endangered us too much already” “So you’re going with the original plan” mumbled Fleur. Maud nodded. “Yes, so?” Author's Note This is it, I certainly took my time but ey, this is a hard translation. I hope you liked it and as always: Read ya’ later!!
005Wednesday 5:54am; Palace of Friendship: “Especial delivery for Princess Twilight!” Called Derpy happily rolling a giant muffin to through the main door. “A giant muffin directly from Sugar Cube Corner!” Spike and Twilight gulped when they saw the enormous pastry coming in along with a very agitated Rainbow Dash. And of course they knew what it was; it was also the first time they saw one of the famous bread-grenades in action. From the second floor, Rarity and Blue Blood also saw the curious situation and raised an eyebrow. However for Rainbow’s sake, Twilight had to pretend this whole thing was completely normal until she left her home. “Oh Derpy, what a nice surprise! Who could send me something like this?” Derpy shook her head. “Rainbow knows I’m a secret agent Princess. I had to save her from somepony very dangerous (the one inside the muffin) and explain the whole situation. Sorry but it was that or endanger her life unnecessarily” “WHAT?!” Shouted Twilight. “How could this happen? Why did the enemy started targeting our friends?” “Considering the situation I’m not surprised” said Blue Blood joining to the conversation and activating his bowtie-transmitter. “Calling all units in Ponyville, report immediately to the Palace of Friendship. This is a red-code-situation, I repeat, a red-code situation” Twilight sighed and the group moved to the living room while they waited. The agents began to show up one by one; but they didn’t used the main door, to avoid suspicion for Twilight getting so may unusual guests, they had built several tunnels from the agents’ homes to the Palace in case of emergency. Rainbow couldn’t believe her eyes, first Derpy and now them: First of all, the human-obsessed mare Lyra Heartstrings; expert in communications. The new resident of Ponyville, the donkey Cranky Doodle; undercover courier. Rusty, the obnoxious blacksmith of the town and along with Twilight, equipment developer. And finally her, the absolute leader of the Secret Service… the brains of the entire operation. “WHAT? YOU TOO?!” Shouted Rarity and Rainbow Dash at the same time. The leader of all the spies cried happily and hugged her friends with the giant smile that characterized her. “Oh girls, you’re safe! It’s so good to see you. I thought I was going to lose you but then, oh Derpy thank you for saving Dashie! Blue, I know no better pony to take care of my beloved friend Rarity!” They both smiled to their leader. “I was only accomplishing with my duty” said Derpy. “It’s my pleasure to serve Equestria my captain, but right now I think we have a suspect to interrogate” said Blue Blood with seriousness. Derpy removed part of the bread revealing the head of Spit Fire. They all gasped, the Wonderbolt leader? But recovering from the first impression, Twilight extended her hoof to Spike who gave her a green potion that seemed suspicious. Spit Fire looked at them defiantly but the alicorn used her magic to force the liquid in her mouth and Derpy forced her to swallow by obstructing her nose. Finally Twilight looked at her sternly. “Now, can you tell me what’s going on, Spit Fire? What’s the meaning of all this?” Spit Fire didn’t bothered to lie, after all she knew all too well that they just gave her a truth-serum from Zebrica. “Are you stupid, Horny? We look for blood purity, return to the glorious days where the races won’t have to make contact to each other ever again. Soon enough the people will demand to the alicorns to disappear to allow us to go back to the simpler ways” Twilight’s eye twitched in irritation. “Who are you working for?” “I work for no pony, I’m one of the leaders” “What about Fancy Pants?” Questioned Blue Blood. “He’s other of the leaders, he founds the operation by divert money from several of his business” But then Spit Fire grinned evilly. “What’s so funny?” Asked the leader of the Secret Service. “Well, the idiot of Fancy Pants and I concentrated in get rid of the agent of the Secret Service that Fancy Pants himself guided to the core of our organization, but the third leader preferred to stick to the original plan and now with Fancy Pants unable to act from his current position and with me captured, the fun is about to start. Fancy Pants and I are very dangerous but the Earth-Worm… she is a true sociopath. The true brain behind the operation and the deadliest of the three of us” “And what’s the name of that pony?” Asked the leader of the Secret Service. Spit Fire grinned evilly, not bothering in trying to repress the answer, enjoying in anticipation the pain she was about to cause. “Maud, Maud Pie” The leader paled while she trembled entirely. No! It had to be a bad joke; Spit Fire was lying, she had to. But she was telling the true, Twilight’s truth serum last at least five hours. “No!” She mumbled. “YOU MUST BE WRONG!” “Oh, did I touched a nerve? The truth hurts idiot, but that’s the world we’re living” The leader of the Secret Service trembled and looked like she was about to faint. “Pinkie” mumbled Twilight offering a chair to her friend. But it was useless, Pinkie Pie, supreme leader of the Secret Service finally fainted because of impression. And then a massive tremor all over Equestria called everypony’s attention. “It is time!” Grinned Spit Fire. “The psycho did it” Location unknown; Wednesday 6:00am: “I did it” said Maud. “Send the message Fancy Pants” The businesspony nodded a pressed a button activating the artifacts placed all over the Kingdom ready to broadcast their message of salvation for the ponykind. Wednesday 6:00 am; all over Equestria: What looked like a completely normal day turned into something else when several statues representing the four Equestrian Princesses blew up in a thousand pieces at the same time making all the ponies go outside their homes to see what was going on. And then, from the wreckages a colorful fog began to form three pony-shapes: a Pegasus, a unicorn and an earth pony; the three of them covered in long black tunics that covered their faces but show their racial features to show everypony how a proud pure-blooded pony should look like. The Pegasus-shape began: “Greetings, proud ponies of all races; let me introduce us: we are the salvation of our kind. We are Salvation” “Salvation from what, you’re certainly asking” added the unicorn. “Well, salvation from this foolishness of the Kingdom of Equestria. Until the four alicorns came to ruin our lives and the natural balance between the three races, we all lived in a perfect world where unicorns only mated with other unicorns; pegasi with pegasi and earth ponies with earth ponies. What happened to us? What made us forget the perfection of our world making us mate to each other? They happened! THE ALICORNS!” The Pegasus shape continued: “Some of you have the blood so contaminated that we see cases where two pegasi have an earth pony or a unicorn; why is this? because of the alicorns, they forced us to forget what nature expects from us. We do not belong together, we were meant to be separated forever and ever!” Then the earth-pony shape finally spoke, sounding creepily dry and emotionless: “That’s why Salvation demand two things: the separation of the Kingdom of Equestria in our three original pony nations Unicorna, Peasopolis and Earth; and the banishment of the four alicorns from our world” All the ponies who witnessed the message began to mumble scared, what was going on? Who were this ponies? The Pegasus shape spoke again: “This is just a message prepared especially for this occasion, but what you’re about to see is happening live and directly. We live in fear my fellow ponies; fear that without the alicorns we won’t be able to survive in this hostile world. Well, you’re wrong, that’s what the alicorns want you to think, they keep us ignorant only to maintain their power. But interestingly enough, you are afraid but not from them; but the dangers we would face if they leave us” “We’re about to prove you that the ponykind is perfectly capable of survive without them” intervened again the unicorn shape. “Even if they go, ponies will prevail… in separated nations as it should be” The earth-pony nodded and cracked her neck calmly and slowly. “That’s why we’re going to destroy the enemies they made us so afraid of. We’ve been preparing this moment for months placing enough explosives in the magical prison known as Tartarus to destroy it with every single prisoner inside it. The alicorns made us afraid of this creatures but refuse to terminate them for good since they’re the base of their rule; well, that’s about to change. In a minute… they’ll be nothing but a mess that would need to be cleaned” Everypony watching the message shivered at the earth-pony’s tone, she sounded so calm, so dry… like she didn’t really care about what she was saying. The colored fog changed to show everypony a giant cave in the middle of a mountain in the middle of nowhere; covered with a giant iron-gate and guarded by an enormous dog with three heads who was scratching behind his ears like a normal dog. It was for real? The three shapes were serious about this? In Canterlot both Luna and Celestia shivered when they saw it, no, it couldn’t be. But it was, soon enough a powerful explosion inside the horrible place shook the giant mountain followed by other non-less violent explosions all over the place reducing it to nothing. Cerberus was barking in fear, running in circles unsure what to do now… until a final much bigger explosion right under him blew him away. Everypony gasped in fear. What just happened? At the end the magic fog vanished but the message was clear. Wednesday 6:11am; Palace of Friendship: None of the members of the Secret Service could say anything about what happened. Only Blue Blood was discussing furiously with his aunt at the communication device inside his flower but then nothing else. When he finished all the spies were in a dead silence unsure what to do now. A dead silence that Spit Fire broke with a cruel chuckle. “Impressive, I must compliment Maud Pie for that excellent for placing the explosives so brilliantly. Poor little doggie, was it too much for him? And what do you think about my performance? I’m more like an acrobat but damn my speeches are also good” In the meantime Rainbow and Rarity were busy trying to awoke poor Pinkie Pie. “Maud, I don’t get it, I just don’t get it” mumbled the cyan mare. “I always thought she was odd… but this? “What happened to her? “I don’t understand neither” said sadly Rarity still trembling because of her nerves. “First Fancy Pants is evil, then Blue Blood is a true gentlecolt and now one of my best friend’s sister is also evil” Then Rarity noticed Blue Blood who was drinking silently and gave her a sad smile. “I told you, remember Miss Belle? A good spy knows that whoever you suspect the less is the one you should be careful. Besides we’ve confirmed Fancy’s participation; during the last years he has been financing a supposed beneficence but when we checked, it didn’t exist. At first the IRS thought it was to avoid taxes but it was much more” “Maud’s participation is also confirmed” said Pinkie Pie awaking. “For generations Pie family have provided the strongest rocks and a especial cement developed by great-granny to reinforce the Tartarus. She had to mix the explosive mix with it” “How often you deliver those shipments?” Asked Rarity. “Giving Celestia’s paranoia, every month” mumbled Pinkie. Spit Fire laughed loudly. “Ow, you poor little thing. Did your sister just broke the confidence placed in you family? Ha-Ha” Pinkie Pie shrieked in rage and punched her at the jaw making Spit Fire unconscious. Once Pinkie calmed, turned to the agents. “I know is against the rules to intervene when family is involved but I’m the only one who can make Maud lower her guard so there’s no choice. Once I reveal their hideout it’ll be on your hooves, understood?” The agents nodded and prepared themselves for the battle, especially Blue Blood. But then Pinkie placed a hoof on his shoulder. “Blue, you’re the one who have worked the most in this case, so why don’t you take a rest at least while I go talk to my sister? As far as I know you haven’t sleep properly because of all this so go on” Blue Blood thanked her with a smile. “I guess you’re right boss, okay” Pinkie smiled to him sadly and ran to the train station. She had to locate Maud no matter what and the first step was to go to her parents’ house for some answers. The other agents left behind her waiting for her call… leaving Twilight alone with her friends and Blue Blood. “Okay, I’ll go rest but first I need a drink, do you mind if I open your scotch Twi?” Asked the white unicorn. “Go on” smiled Twilight. Rarity looked Blue Blood leaving and turned to Twilight. “So Twilight, may I ask you something?” “Sure Rarity, what’s wrong?” “Why somepony like him haves to pretend to be a jerk? His true self is very kind and likable… so why in all fake personalities he had to choose that one? Twilight sighed. “Is a long story Rarity, but let’s say in all his life Blue Blood’s greatest love was theater.
