The Rise Of Wraith

Chapter 01: I Spy

The scene begins to open around Sugarcube Corner, where Pinkie Pie & Pinkamena were talking to the rest of the other members of the Mane Six except for Twilight. And that reason was because they brought a cake in, but neither Twilight nor her family were there, so after eating a cake, they came to chat with the others about what bizarre moment happened with them.

“So you two brought Twilight’s celebration cake in, but there was no one there?” Rarity asked off in trying to understand what happened.

“And you both EAT it together?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in what the pink ponies did afterwards.

“Yep, about sums that one up!” Pinkie Pie nods off to simply say this without a doubt.

“Hugh, where do ye think Twilight & her family go without telling us?” Applejack rubbed her noggin in being puzzled about such unknown acts without them being told.

“Maybe it was an emergency & they had to leave right away.” Fluttershy stated off to make a guess of what could have happened that the Sparkle Family left without saying anything. “Oh, that is, if everyone doesn’t mind.” She yelped a bit shyly in not wanting to sound so forceful.

“Not only that, my brother & everyone else has gone off somewhere to help some charity work & won’t be back until later on today.” Pinkamena explained in what was going on that Golden Heart & the rest of her team are elsewhere at this time. “Which I think we’ll see Twilight & her family by then.” She stated off in guessing that they will see Twilight & the rest later on.

“How do you know that?” Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in being curious about this.

“Random guessing?” Pinkamena shrug off to happily say this without a second delay; everyone felt the pink pony is as random as Pinkie Pie.

“Okay, here’s a cake order you girls wanted.” Mrs. Cake spoke off as she & her husband came with a large tower cake of blue frosting.

“My, this looks fabulous!” Rarity stated off in looking at the cake.

“Oh yes, it looks very tasty.” Fluttershy nods meekly in seeing this cake did look nice.

“Hugh, I don’t think we ask fer any large cakes today.” Applejack rubbed her noggin in seeing they have not order any cake.

“Well a gentleman said it was on him. So he must be a friend, since we never seen the guy before.” Mr. Cake pointed off to say this in what was going on that someone paid for the group to have a cake.

“Well it must be an admiring fan, so let’s not turn down his offer.” Rainbow Dash smiled off to simply say this in what she can guess the cake present was meant to be.

Then without warning, the cakes on top were put out to which they started to admit steam from steam pipes that surprised many.

“Wow, a Steam Cake, must be the customer’s natural custom from where they are. I didn’t even think we had a recipe for that.” Pinkie Pie smiled off in seeing this to think they got wow doozy of a cake.

“But, we don’t.” Mrs. Cake raised an eyebrow in not having come across such a cake to bake.

“I’m not even sure that’s natural.” Mr. Cake pointed off that they hardly know how to make a cake that steam comes out of pipes.

“Then what’s….” Pinkamena was about to ask the question, but was cut off.

Soon everyone was coughing from when the steam came down around them as everyone breathed in the stuff. After mere moments, everyone in Sugarcube Corner was completely knocked out. Then entering were some strange full-body suit stallions wearing gas-mask that conceal their identities. They looked around to see that everyone was out, before the squad leader picks up a device.

“We’ve secured the area, Sugarcube Corner’s inhabitants are out cold.” Squad Leader spoke in a walking talky in stating what they have done here.

“Excellent, bring in those that are a threat to the plan.” Spoke another voice from the walky-talky in want to be done.

“Grab the five councilmen of friendship & tie them up in anti-magic resistant chains.” Squad Leader pointed to the Mane Five that they are to be taken & restrain to not give any resistance. “And take that one too, she’s practically dangerous as the five, but we can use her with negotiations with her princely brother.” The leader of the mysterious squad pointed to Pinkamena in planning to take her too.

The mysterious ponies began to follow their orders without question as the out cold ponies that were targets were being taken.

“Operation Monster Mash is a go!” Squad Leader issued off in pressing a remote control device in stating a code-op phrase.

Then the scene darkens as the mysterious ponies begin to leave the area with a little teleportation magic to be out of sight. Something strange is going on & it’s just getting started…

Now we focus on the outskirts of Ponyville, things seem to be at its quiet moment, but something large was seen coming out of the Everfree Forest. And when something unusual starts to come from that forest, it usually means…trouble.

“Hyahahahahahh….” Three laughter are heard as they exit the forest to make an appearance for many to see…giant size spotted hyena trio with dark fur paws, tail, top ears & some back straight hair. They have black noses, & yellow eyes, with only one having hair to be female while the other two were male.

“Oh yeah, now this is what I’m talking about!” The female spoke off in seeing what they got here.

“Ponies all around, free for the picking!” The dad guy stated off in seeing this too.

“Hehehe-huhuhuhaahhh….” The other guy laughed off in a stupid response to the question, not being so bright.

“Right Ed, hey Banzai, you know the plan.” The lead female stated off to call the dumb one while talking to the other one.

“Yeah Shenzi, we terrorize & catch us some meals to go.” The other guy replied off in knowing what they do here.

The three Hyenas soon went off on the prowl as they started to attack Ponyville that caused the crowds to scream & panic. Then many were running from giant hyenas on the attack, but there were a few around the area that saw this that choose’d not to run…

“It would seem, misfortune has come, for now laughing hyenas, they come.” Zecora spoke in rhymes of what trouble was now coming to their town.

“What should we do? Last time with a Bugbear, the Mane Six handled that?” Derpy asked off in recalling the last monster attack they had.

“This is usually where the Mane Six arrive, but I don’t see them yet.” Time Turner exclaimed to say in recalling who helped them out, but it seems those mentioned are not around.

“Looks like we’ll have to handle them!” Flash Sentry stated to say this in getting himself ready.

“Great, there goes another shopping spree, thanks to the work of some monster attack.” Sunset sighs to say this thatcher visit to Ponyville has now ended up stopping a monster attack during a shopping moment; just great.

Soon the group spread out in which the giant Hyenas were making their attacks. Sunset Shimmer fired a few magic blasts while Flash Sentry flew around to distract Ed. Zecora threw a potion that created a cloud burst that blinded Banzai while Derpy & Time Turner threw in a few fireworks around them monster size foes to catch them to yelp from the flashy displays which some of them hurt the hyenas’ noses.

“Ow, hey man, come on! Play fair!” Banzai protest off to complain in feeling that sorta smart.

“What’s wrong, your food biting back?” Shenzi asked off in what was wrong with the guy that the ponies were messing with him.

“Eheheehahaahaaahh….” Ed laughs off in finding this to be funny that he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hey! These ponies are trying to get in the way, I say we take a bite out of them!” Banzai issued off to say this on his own accord about this case.

“Oh, I like me that plan, let’s get ready to chow down!” Shenzi replied off in liking that idea very much.

“Heehehehahahaahh….” Ed laughs off stupidly in also thinking that idea would be good to do.

“Okay Flash, we have their attention, now what?” Sunset asked in what they do next from here.

“Now we try to take them down without wrecking the town.” Flash Sentry stated off in what they do from here.

“Oh, you mean like this?” Shenzi asked off to say before kicking a nearby building down.

“Oh, wait, wait, I got it! You mean like THIS!” Banzai exclaimed off to say in clashing his rear against another building.

“Nah, I think mine was better, what about you Ed?” Shenzi stated off in stating this before asking the more stupid one here.

“Clopfruvhmm…./Heeheheahaahaahh…” Ed just sat down on a bunch of carts while squashing much of the fruits & veggies while laughing it off crazily.

“Hey! Quit it! Our homes are where we live!” Derpy protest off that these guys should stop trying to destroy their homes.

“Apparently they don’t listen to reason, alright then, time for a change of attitude.” Time Turner stated off to say in realizing that reasoning won’t work, so…

Then Time Turner took out a strange device that made a strange sonic noise that effected the giant hyenas to suddenly become still as stiffs before turning it off.

“That should stun them for a little while, but not long enough I’m afraid.” Time Turner stated off in what his little trick will do for the moment. “Their body mass & size, they’ll be undone in 30 seconds.” He issued off in stating this about how long those hyenas have, but while he talked however…

“Grrrr….” At that moment, the Hyenas began to growl off in suddenly gaining the ability to move & feel like gazing at these ponies.

“I think you need to work on that being longer than just 30 seconds!” Sunset exclaimed to tell Time Turner about his invention.

“Keep attacking, we’ll have to wear them down.” Flash Sentry issued off that they need to keep their attacks going.

“Hah! Wear us down, what’cha gonna do?” Shenzi laughed off at the joke in thinking that ain’t gonna be easy.

“Yeah, like you can stop us, eh little ponies?” Banzai asked off in liking to hear what the answer is gonna be.

“Maybe if they get a little extra help, they might.” Spoke another voice that came from nowhere here that made the hyenas look puzzled.

Then entering the scene was a familiar masked stallion with a metallic looking right hoof; it was Arsenal, the Arms Stallion. And before anyone knew what was gonna happen, Arsenal summoned his M-X290, a 217-9 revolver rifle, a bronze/silver sun with a laser homing ray to target things in sight, & a long magic bullet rounds from a storage box under it. Soon he begins to shot off multiple shots in a straight way, causing Shenzi, Banzai, & Ed to yelp from taking such heavy beatings from so many rounds until the guy ceases his attack motion. Once the smoke clouds cleared, the giant Hyenas looked a bit blacken while shaking off the smog on their fur before glaring at the guy that unleashed the heavy artillery.

“Oh, you just made a BIG Mistake, buddy!” Shenzi issued off to the stallion that dear tried to get in their way.

“Yeah, you have any idea who you’re missing with? You wanna lose a limb!” Banzai issued off in stating this guy wants to lose a piece of his body.

“Sorry, but I already lost one.” Arsenal made a sly smile in stating this off to the foolish hyenas.

“Huhuhuhhuhuu….” Ed was letting off a wild laughter in finding that joke to be funny.

“Can it Ed! It ain’t funny when the joke’s on us!” Banzai snapped off to remind the guy of what was happening here.

“Got me an idea, lets focus on tearing this guy to pieces.” Shenzi slyly spoke off in what they can do, tear this pony with a cybernetic arm into more pieces.

“Yeah!” Banzai smiled off with a crazy expression in liking that plan.

“Wuhuhuahahaaahhh….” Ed was letting off more wild laughs in agreeing to that topic.

That’s when the giant hyenas began to chase after Arsenal, as he made his weapon vanish before he used another trick to make himself move faster while letting the enemy see him. The others followed in where Arsenal stop using his ability before he was soon pinned between boulders & the hyena pursuers that caught up to him & had the pony trapped.

“Ah, what’s a matter tough guy?” Shenzi remotely spoke in seeing what was going on that Arsenal seem to be in trouble now.

“Run into a rock with a few sets of teeth?” Banzai made a wise crack of the guy stuck between a rock & THREE sets of teeth.

“Whuhaahaaaahhh….” Ed lets off a louder laughter in seeing this was funny.

“Actually, I just wanted to spare Ponyville from being caught in a mess that’s about to happen.” Arsenal made a wise crack while smiling in having something to say about what he was up to.

“Oh, and why’s that?” Shenzi raised an eyebrow in what this pony thought he was doing that was so smart.

“You’re about to find out. Bombing Run!” Arsenal issued off to say this while announcing a technique of his; just as strong graphical marks are seen on the ground with the hyenas in circle motion spots.

“Hey, what’s with these weird things all over the ground?” Banzai asked off in seeing some weird motion happening on the ground so suddenly.

“Whuuhh…Wuuuagh!” Ed was making a worried response noises to point at something above them.

“Hey, what’s with you Ed?” Shenzi asked off in what was wrong, Ed never could speak right, but why was the pointing upwards.

“Hey, was it supposed to rain bombs today?” Banzai asked off in looking above in noticing some weird development i the weather.

“No, why?” Shenzi replied of in not knowing why such a thing would happen.

“Cause here it comes!” Banzai yelled out in where they all looked up to see this…

Soon without warning, a powerful air strike was falling from above & blowing up hordes of anything around, including the giant hyenas. Once it was over, Shenzi, Banzai & Ed looked to have survived while groaning & aching in pain, but at least they were blown to smithereens. The others came over to Arsenal’s spot in seeing that the guy played it smart, using that powerful spell outside the town to keep the damage down to a minimum as possible.

“Woah…..guess they’re down for the count!” Derpy exclaimed off in seeing this with much surprise.

“A bit excessive I do say, but I will admit, it did the trick.” Zecora spoke in rhyme to state how such a tactic maybe much, but it works well in the end.

“Thanks for the assistance Arsenal, what are you doing here?” Flash Sentry thanked the Arms Stallion for helping out, but was puzzled in why Arsenal was here.

“Celestia sent me a message in asking for assistance, but I doubt it was with this.” Arsenal stated off to say this with serious, but with a slight humor tone in addressing the question.

“Oh my, what do you think it could be?” Sunset gasped lightly in not being sure what Celestia needed this guy for.

“Perhaps it’s time we tie these three up & then go right for the pony’s mouth, & ask Celestia herself.” Time Turner spoke off in stating of first tying the hyenas up & then get answers from Celestia herself.

“Great idea doctor.” Derpy cheered off in having heard the idea.

Without waiting, the group begins to get some enchanted rope to tie around Shenzi, Banzai & Ed. Hopefully afterwards, the Royal Guards will place them in someplace secure to make sure they don’t cause any more trouble as the scene goes dark for the time being….

The scene changes to within Canterlot Castle as we see Celestia was alone at the time. But then entering the throne room was a familiar little batch of Monster Hunting Agency; Bon-Bon, Lyra Heartstrings, & Halse the Armor Horus. They were in Canterlot for a visit before they got pulled in without warning, & so, here they are where something is about to happen…

“I’m glad you were able to come here, Bon-Bon, you…and your group.” Celestia smiled off in being glad those that could come are here.

“Princess Celestia, what seems to be the problem?” Bon-Bon asked off in what was troubling Celestia all of a sudden.

“Recently, Ponyville was under siege by a strange attack of three monstrous hyenas.” Celestia issued off to explain the case with a stern expression.

“Oh my, that sounds like something we should have handled! But we came to visit Canterlot before your guards requested us!” Lyra Heartstrings yelps in never believing that happened while they were visiting Canterlot recently.

“It was already handled by my request of calling in some help, but that was before without knowing what else occurred.” Celestia inform those here that the threat has been detain.

“What do you mean?” Halse raised an eyebrow in being puzzled by the statement.

“Mayor Mare informs me that suspicious ponies were seen moving inside Sugarcube Corner & have taken the Mane Five & Pinkamena by teleportation.” Celestia informs the group with a serious tone about what took place before the attack begun.

“Oh my, do we know where they went?” Bon-Bon yelps in fearing that wasn’t good, & hopes they have some leads.

“No, we can’t figure out where they are even with a locating spell of the pony’s object. But I suspect this act & the monster attack are connected.” Celestia shook her head ’no’ in response, but felt that the two different events are connected.

“But why?” Lyra asked off in why someone took the Council Of Friendship?

“It may have something to do with what we have just recently stumbled into our hold.” Celestia issued off to say this in having a feeling it was something that came into their possession. “Head down this corridor & someone will be there to explain to you things of what we believe is connected.” She issued forth in believing if the group meets with someone that brought what sort of trouble came to them, it may hold the answers, possibly.

Without arguing, the others were soon leaving Celestia’s throne room to head down the hallway she instructed them to go through from the corridor path. After mere moments, the Royal Guards directed them to a special room in the castle, where the group entered to find a Pegasus mare famous in her books & daring feats, Daring Do.

“Daring Do!” Bon-Bon exclaimed off in surprise in seeing who was here & in the flesh.

“Yeah, that’s me, but listen, don’t get all fan crazy, I’m here because of other things.” Daring Do exclaimed off to say this while asking that everyone keep their cool with a famous adventure & author of books around.

“Of course not, but…what are we all doing here?” Lyra smiled off to simply say this while being curious of this pony being here.

“To look at this.” Daring Do showed something for the rest to see; a strange disc object with a triangle form pyramid pm top with four red gemstones stuck out from the sides & one on top.

“Oh.” Bon-Bon & Lyra responded in awe in seeing something like this for the first time.

“So, what is it?” Halse asked off in being the most intrigue about this object.

“Some strange artifact I discovered from exploring another tome. It’s got a weird name too; the Spectre?” Daring Do pointed off in mentioning this as something she found, but the name is weird.

“Any hints of what it’s meant to be useful for?” Bon-Bon asked off if there was any hints or clues about what it’s used for.

“Nothing so far, only that it nearly brought a civilization down in disaster, which means in the wrong clutches, it can be dangerous.” Daring Do explained the case of what was a serious matter of this artifact being dangerous if in the wrong clutches of evil.

“Wow; that does sound like it could be very dangerous.” Lyra stated off in also having heard this to become concern.

“Is this thing safe here?” Halse asked off in looking around in being sure, this place was safe from being broken in.

“Well there are Royal Guards around, but between you & me, from my experience, the unknown is the scariest thing you don’t know what you’re getting into.” Daring Do shrug off lightly to say this in knowing that the dangers can sometime appear when one least expects it.

Just as those here were beginning to ponder the very idea of what this could all mean, there was noises of yelping & groaning sounds of stallions along with weapons dropping on the ground. That action alone caused many to feel on edge as if feeling something was not right.

“What was that?” Bon-Bon asked off in having a bad feeling about what happened outside.

“Sounded pretty close by.” Lyra stated of how close the sound originated from.

“It would appear we’re not alone here.” Halse stated with a serious face in sensing that there was trouble nearby.

“Told you so, looks like the unknown is here.” Daring Do stated off with a serious face in guessing that something was gonna happen sooner or later, just means it’s sooner.

Then without warning, some ponies were seen teleporting into the room to be about a dozen of them surrounding all sides in encircling the group of no hopes of escape; it was the same guys that got the surprise jump of those back at Sugarcube Corner.

“Wait a second, aren’t these ponies?” Bon-Bon yelps in seeing what they got here.

“In weird looking outfits!” Lyra stated off in noticing what they got were some weird characters.

“They don’t appear to be with Ahuizotl, so that leaves him out.” Daring Do stated to say this in getting serious for a second in seeing these were not the usual enemies.

“We’ve come for the artifact, give it to us & your lives maybe spared.” The lead squad leader issued off that they want the object, & nothing else.

“No way! This thing is dangerous in the wrong use!” Lyra issued off to say this that they won’t give this thing up to some evil & suspicious looking ponies.

“We were not asking, we’re demanding!” The Squad Leader threaten the mare that they are demanding what they want.

“Looks like there is no reasoning with them.” Bon-Bon stated to say this to shake her head about what was going on here.

“Know how I handle against such folks?” Daring Do stated off to say this with a sly smile.

“Please, do tell?” Halse asked off in looking to the mare for what she has to say.

“Simple, beat them around the bush.” Daring Do issued off to say with sly confidence as she brought out a whip rope to help her out.

“Celestia wants this kept safe, so we better do so.” Bon-Bon issued off to explain this to the others i what they gotta do here.

“Right behind you, Bon-Bon!” Lyra issued off to say in joining her friend in this matter.

“Fools…Get them!” The Squad Leader remotely stated this bravo act before ordering an attack.

Soon the other dozen ponies in the room began to leap forth in planning to attack Bon-Bon & Daring Do’s group. What’s gonna happen here, will they handle some suspicious group making a bee-line for the Spectre? And who’s another hidden pony watching this stuff from nearby, could it be…

“Octacon, this is Snake. Looks like that Intel was right. Now if you’ll excuse me, I got some agents to bail out.” Yep, it was Solid Snake as he spoke on a magic com-link before hanging up.

What sort of acts are we gonna see or probably be unseen by Snake’s camouflage suit? Best stay tune of what sort of starting up spy acts were about to see…

Author's Note

Well, this chapter's finally set. Next up, after handling against the mysterious pony bunch, new information of identity about a new secret criminal organization called ‘Wraith’ is pulling some strings & want the artifact. Getting a clue to figure out where to go is but the first step, second step is getting by danger while surviving it. But what leads can help those find Wraith is a tough nut to crack. So stay tune....

Chapter 03: Clues Fit the Picture

We enter around a strange area around the Neighagra Falls section of Equestria. Right now, the Monster Hunting Agency group were now entering a suspicious temple tome of unknown culture. Right now, this was where Octacon reported that some connection to the Spectre was said to be connected from Wraith’s data. So as they are approaching the steps, many are pondering about the situation here….

“Wow, it’s like we’re living a Daring Do adventure.” Lyra smiled off in imagining how thing are becoming here.

“Except we’re not, we gotta keep our minds sharp. We don’t want things ending up like last time.” Bon-Bon reminded this off to her best friend about something like what happened before.

“Last time?” Arsenal raised an eyebrow in having heard this that caught some interest.

“Oh yes, it was something that happened after the agency was made, before knowing about Solid Snake & Octacon became our guiding managers & we took on a certain task.” Time Turner spoke off in stating off this topic about something that they experienced long ago.

“This sounds like it happened shortly before I or the rest of us join in.” Halse raised an eyebrow in having heard this.

“I remember it like it was yesterday.” Derpy stated off in having remember something like that from long ago.

“But it was actually some weeks back before we met Halse the Armor Horus.” Time Turner pointed off in how long it was that they experienced something like that.

“Well, while we’re looking, you may as well tell us.” Sunset stated off in mentioning this that while they search, they can hear a story.

“Right, you can tell us the story while we’re searching for clues.” Flash nods off that either he & Sunset don’t know what the agency bunch have experienced.

“Um, can we maybe not?” Bon-Bon asked off in feeling a bit sheepish about now.

“Yeah, that memory isn’t our…” Lyra was about to say something here until…

“Well, it all happened like this…” Derpy stated off to say as a memory flashback begins to take place….

SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST

Days later…after the new Monster Hunting Agency was formed but before handling the Starlight Glimmer in Canterlot Case…

At this moment, Bon-Bon was sorting out files in a small office area in which, thanks to Celestia, is the first little Agency to be up on its feet. Right now, Time Turner and Derpy came in to check on the mare who was gonna be in charge of things.

"So far, everything is slowly a go." Derpy happily responded of their development.

"That's all well and good, but...it's as I thought. We still need a few more members to be better efficient, especially with a new task that I just received." Bon-Bon replied before sighing in what they are still lacking.

"Well then, should I go and find Lyra so that all of us can..." Time Turner was about to say, but was cut...

"NO! I can't involve her in this one new case that came in! It's still too soon for her to get into the field without enough training!” Bon-Bon protest off in not wanting Lyra to be involved with what she has for them to do.

"But she's a member too, right?" Derpy raised an eyebrow in hearing this.

"Listen up, cause here's the reason for our first mission. One of Celestia's spies has reported a Minotaur warlord in the badlands has gotten an amulet which can summon a Demon during the blood moon. And according to my research, the next one is in three days. I know it's just us three, but we have to do this job. You two handled problems similar to other villain matters that Lyra still lacks, correct?" Bon-Bon-Bon explained this off for the two here to pay attention.

"True....I've faced worst things." Time Turner held his chin to ponder this. "But are you certain you want only 3 of us than 4?" He asked this question with suspicion about the mare's action to leave out a member.

"Yes, I'm certain, which is why I sent her on a different solo mission. Hopefully, we'll be back before she figures out we left her out of the loop." Bon-Bon-Bon stated off to say this much in thought.

"Yeah, it all sounds pretty simple. So, what could possibly go wrong?" Derpy replied off to say this from thinking there was nothing to worry about.

44 hours later

And so time flies by when one is having fun, or in this case, when pony agents least expect something to go wrong before they set out as the scene suddenly shows Bon-Bon & Derpy are chained to a wall in a dungeon that was likely belonging to a Warlord of the Badlands they set off on their mission objective. Next to them is a skeleton of a griffon, which only served to creep them out to lower their spirits after being caught.

"Wow, things went wrong pretty fast from that surprise ambush, Hugh?" Derby replied off to mention this to her prison buddy.

"Not one word Derpy. Not one word." Bon-Bon mutters this off in feeling annoyed by their situation, their first serious mission & they get caught & thrown in a dungeon.

"I'm sure the Doctor can find a way to help us out." Derby smiled off with ease to not let this drag them down.

Speaking of a certain some pony, we suddenly heard Time Turner 's voice. He was seen walking & he was singing & with a wine bottle on his back.

Time Turner: My Little Pony, My Little pony, isn't the world a happy place.

When the mares behind their ceil dungeon saw the guy outside singing merrily, Bon-Bon growls in annoyance. Why, because the mares were caught & this guy was long gone, where was he & why is he here now in a strange rescue attempt to give one’s self away.

"Have you met the Minotaurs? By Star Swirl's beard, they know how to throw a party." Time Turner exclaimed off to say things in which gave off in what he was doing during his absence.

"Well look who decided to show up, Time Turner the Crafty!" Bon-Bon rolled her eyes in remarking the issue of who finally decided to show up now.

"Ooh Sweetie-Drop, you sound just like my Grandmother." Time Turner exclaimed to mention this matter without warning.

"Where the Tartarus have you been?!" Bon-Bon-Bon snapped off in seeing the stallion looked half drunk, where was he that he ended up like that?

"Well, besides getting the amulet." As Time Turner spoke off to say, he pulled the amulet they were here for out of his saddle bag, surprise the two imprisoned mares. "I think I might have just introduced S'mores to the Minotaurs. Do you know they'd never even seen a marshmallow before? Always bring marshmallows & Chocolate to a party. S'mores are good." However as Time Turner explained his whereabouts, he then sees the griffon skeleton by the mares. "Oh, brilliant, it's you! You're my favorite turkey. You are, you are the best, you know why? Cause you're so thick! You're Mr. Thick Thick Thickety Thick-face from Thick-town, Thickania." The guy was speaking mostly in a drunk state in sounding like he knew the bones of a griffon that was here.

Bon-Bon looks at Derpy who gives her a confused look & shrug as if to say "Don't ask." Then Time Turner comes into the dungeon's ceil, then unlocks the two mares with his latest newly made device he brought along; he calls it, the Sonic Screwdriver.

Later on….

Soon the group was making their way to escape, but again, time & luck was not on their side. For when the agents were about to escape through a back door out of the enemy base, they were ambushed by some Minotaurs that awaited them. Despite a desperate struggle, Bon-Bon, Derpy & the less drunk Time Turner have been captured again by the Minotaurs. They were soon brought out into an open courtyard to meet the Minotaurs’ very leader of their group in the Badlands, Minos the Ax Wielder. This guy laughs when he approached the three agents with an axe in his hands.

"If this is the best Celestia has to offer, then my victory over your kingdom will be simple as crushing an egg." Minos taunts off the defeated agents as if they were insignificant.

"Please, after having dealt with villains more terrifying than you, there will always be others to stand against those like you." Bon-Bon rolled her eyes to state this claim in knowing that this guy was not as terrifying as like say, the Three Lords of Equestria, now THOSE are scary villains to fear.

"Is that so, well then...we'll just have to see about that! Now let me show you why I'm called the Ax Wielder." Minos issued forth in accepting the challenge remark.

Minos is seen wielding up his ax, as he is about to cut off the three pony heads line up by his minions. The agents brace for the worse, but then a blast of magic hits Minos in the face that caused him to yelp slightly while missing the ponies’ heads by...a hair inch away from their manes.

"What the...?" Derby raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, what just happened.

The 3 ponies turn to see an angry looking Lyra off from the scene above a wall area. But it was not just her, she had with her a small army of the Royal Guards. Plus a few other strange looking ponies that to Bon-Bon's surprise, most of them were her old monster hunting crew.

"Hey buster, you better not axe off my best friend when I'm around!" Lyra snapped off to say this in sounding ticked off.

Ooh, sounds like somepony's in trouble!" Time Turner exclaimed off in seeing that their situation just turn around from bad to good.

After what was a good long 30 minutes of evil Minotaurs clashing against the Royal Guards & a few old monster hunting crew agents that were supposedly retired & relocated managed to subdue the enemy as Minos the Ax Wielder was defeated. And with the enemy defeat, the amulet reclaim from being used for evil, now Bon-Bon was left with one thing now....handling Lyra's sudden rescue surprise effort.

"I found the letter from Celestia that said you, Time Turner & Derpy were off to the Badlands on a serious mission! I can't believe you didn't include me!" Lyra issued off to say this in sounding a bit rather annoyed.

"You have to listen to me, about that...I..." Bon-Bon was about to say, but was cut off.

"NO YOU LISTEN. I can forgive you for not telling me about your past. I understand you had to keep it a secret. I could even understand you going on this mission after I had my own case to wrap up with. But why the World didn't you tell me?!" Lyra snapped off to say this in making her own claims here while sounding ticked off that her friend excluded her out on something this important.

"I wanted to protect you, you could not handle something this dangerous!" Bon-Bon exclaimed in giving out her reason.

"From what?! Knowing that despite being a part of the team, you didn't wanna include me to help out?" Lyra frowns a bit to say this, as if someone lack trust in her capabilities.

"This isn't a game! You saw how dangerous it was!" Bon-Bon exclaimed in knowing this was a dangerous mission that Lyra would have been hurt or worse if she was involved.

"Do you even know what I went through when you all were out? You could have let me help! I could've...." Lyra was about to make her protest, but was cut off...

"Get killed? That's why I didn't tell you, I couldn't live myself if something happen to you." Bon-Bon exclaimed to say this in fearing she would have lost her best friend.

“How do think I feel if something happen to you? Your my best friend, I wanna help out with things that you wanna do, even if they do involve things this dangerous." Lyra issued off to make her final claim here in standing her ground, cause she & Bon-Bon are best friends that should help one another no matter the challenge.

"But this life of being a monster hunter can be hard, you just started, &…are you certain you want to take on the really hard stuff ahead?" Bon-Bon was uncertain if Lyra was ready for the big leagues, new monster hunting rookies can't just jump to take in harder cases without proper training...can they?

"My grandma said the true definition of being best friends is standing by them, no matter how hard life hits them, as long as they stay true to who they are & never forget it." Lyra stated this off to smile in approaching her friend.

As the sun was seen rising up, Bon-Bon felt tears eye before she rushed over to hug Lyra Heartstrings as they were having a Best Friends moment. All of the guards & old monster hunters smiles at this. Even most battle harden warriors get teary eyed at this scene, a scene of it being lovers or a passion of close friends being there to support another.

"Aw, isn't that sweet, Hugh professor?" Derpy smiled off to say this.

"Indeed it is & I do believe that drunken feeling is out of me that I won't ruin this moment." Time Turner smiled off to say this.

Later after returning from the Badlands, Lyra filled in about what happened during her own mission, before finding a message about the others with their own mission. Then from aid from someone who called himself, Octacon from a magical computer screen that spoke to Lyra, told her about where her friends are to even the location of retired agents to gather them & aid in rescuing Bon-Bon. So now, there are a lot of things that surprised Bon-Bon, but not as surprising as finding a few old agents that have had some....rethinking about their new life then being a part of the old agency career....

"I can't believe many of you decided to come back to help us. I, well I mean, Celestia said most of you retired from this.” Bon-Bon stated off in being so lost by what she's seeing here and who she's chatting with.

"Well the truth is, I kinda got bored with life of a potato farmer." An Earth Pony warrior who was dressed like a potato farmer spoke off in stating his own thoughts of the manner.

"After meeting a victim of the Bugbear attack, I knew I had to return. Some pony's gotta protect the innocent than standing around, right?" A male unicorn dressed as some performance Mage outfit for audience attractions stated his own thought over the matter.

"Well Bon-Bon, we all have tried to find different callings. And after certain events, we felt we should try to help out this old gang." An old Pegasus stallion exclaimed off to say this, feeling what he felt he should say…

"Well the princess promised to rise our salary when this young mare gathered many of us." Another male Pegasus pointed out to explain at Lyra.

"She's not just any mare, she's my BEST Friend!" Bon-Bon smiled off as she & Lyra swung a hoof around the others shoulder to smile.

"Looks like things are gonna be really interesting from now on." Derpy spoke this off towards Time Turner.

"Indeed. It has been awhile since I've gone on an adventure. And I've have some inventions that I can finally put to good use than letting them collect dust." Time Turner issued off to mention this factor.

"While that's nice & all, you will need to know that it takes more than fancy gadgets for this line of work, right?" Bon-Bon-Bon asked off in knowing that this guy will have to use other things than gadgets at times.

"Oh don't worry, the Zebra tribes don't call me Time Turner the Crafty for nothing." Time Turner smiled off to mention this in stating such a factor of what he's done before in the past.

Many were heard laughing at this time, as many of a few former monster hunters were seen saying their farewells. But some that showed they were interested to help with the new agency, said to call them if they are needing some extra help. And as Bon-Bon, Lyra, Derpy and Time Turner smiled off to look at their agency spot, two members that were gonna manage the group: Octacon & Solid Snake, were gonna make sure that Bon-Bon helps to rebuild this spy spot. Of course they have a long way, so even those four youths still have some experience to learn...from those that are spy pros. And with that, everything goes dark as this spy case....is closed; for now….

BACK TO THE PRESENT…

The scene returns to inside the temple in where the Monster Hunting Agency was looking around at this time while sending readouts back for Octacon to decipher their meaning. Of course, they all had heard a story of what Bon-Bon & Lyra, & know everyone was mostly up to speed here.

“Hugh, that’s quite a tale.” Flash stated off in having heard this story.

“I didn’t even know you experienced something like that.” Sunset stated off that what they heard was quite a tale?

“It was the first argument we had since being agents.” Bon-Bon stated off in stating how things were.

“Right, we remember it, we just don’t wanna recall it too much.” Lyra nods off to point off the topic of the thing.

“Hey fellas, if you’re done with memory lane, Octacon is sending something over from deciphering these symbols.” Arsenal stated off in seeing that Time Turner’s device is responding; they are getting a call back.

“Thank you, I’ll take over from here.” Octacon spoke off to appear as a full screen display for the group. “The civilization that made the Spectre wanted to have it read one’s mind.” He issued off to say this about what he has learn of the object.

“Like a mind reader?” Derpy asked off in thinking that was what the Spectre thing was meant to be.

“Yes, everyone of this civilization wanted to know what others outside their own were thinking, but the artifact could only reach so far, so they made this temple to help expand the reach to know what everyone was thinking.” Octacon explained over the com-link about what the Spectre is meant to be used as & how it can go in a wider range effect. “However, something this extraordinary attracted the wrong attention & force the civilization into hiding while leaving behind what it made, but not before hiding the Spectre.” He issued off how something like this could attract the kind of attention that would do more harm than good.

“Then now we see the truth at last, this artifact is something good, but can be abuse when wielded by someone who is not pure.” Zecora exclaimed to say in rhyme about what the Spectre is cable of in two sides of good & evil.

“Then it’s clear what Wraith wants the Spectre for, we can either keep it away or destroy it.” Halse stated off in seeing they need to make a firm decision about what they should do with such an object.

“I’m not sure if it’s our call to destroy something that maybe used for great good, we can learn what our enemies are up to & stop them.” Bon-Bon stated off that they can’t make that decision on our own.

“That’s a great idea, then let’s use it right away & figure out how many villains are up to something.” Lyra stated to say this in what they can do that maybe helpful for Equestria.

“How?” Sunset asked off in being curious about this.

“The temple can only be activated when the Spectre is place in the central paladin plate where the light from above touches down to it, the other part is where light reflected from it bounces off the thing to the place gemstones to guide the lights into the artifact before having it become active.” Octacon explained how the temple’s structure serves to use the Spectre.

“So now we know how to make this thing work.” Flash stated off in seeing how they can use this thing.

“Yes, & let’s hope that Wraith won’t learn about this, but it seems highly doubtful.” Time Turner stated to say this with some concern in this voice.

“Why?” Derpy asked in what the guy was talking about.

“Because it may only be a matter of time, we need to keep the Spectre away as best we can.” Time Turner issued off that he believes Wraith will have learn what they can, but they must keep the Spectre away from them.

“Hmmm?” Arsenal raised an eyebrow in feeling like there was something…off behind them.

“What’s wrong?” Sunset asked in seeing the guy seem to be distracted.

“I thought there was something, perhaps I…” Arsenal stated off in feeling like something was off, like there was something bothering him.

But then a noise caught Arsenal’s attention as something was approaching fast; a heat-seeking missile was fired off towards the group.

“Lookout!” Arsenal yelled out to rush in to block something of a missile coming at the group, but… “KABOOMFRUVHM…/UUUUAGH!” The missile exploded on Arsenal as it sent the guy backwards with much force.

“Arsenal!” The others called out in seeing what happened to their friend.

“Breakfruvhmm….” Arsenal’s body smashed through the wall of the temple, as he fell to the outside.

Just then, strange canisters fell into the room before anyone could do anything, as the gas made them cough a lot. Then mask wearing ponies entered before restraining the group that were caught off guard. By the time the smoke of gas cleared out, we soon find that many of the Monster Hunting Agency members were restrain & those with wings & horns were kept under check.

“Allow me to thank you for what you’ve done.” Burns’s voice is heard as he’s seen entering the picture now. “Your intelligence network works fast, I knew you save us much effort.” He issued off in having those here do much work for him.

“You followed us!” Halse exclaimed in seeing that thus group followed after them.

“Restrain the Armor Horus & blind its eyes.” Burns issued the order as which the other agents of Wraith were doing right away.

“Hey! Leave him alone!” Bon-Bon snapped off to have the fiends leave their friend alone.

“Yeah! He’s our friend!” Lyra issued off that Halse was their friend, they can’t do that stuff to him.

“Your concerns are little to me, now…you will tell me, where your other member is?” Burns remarks doff in not caring before stating another fact.

“What other member?” Derpy asked off in being confused for a second.

“The other spy that also evaded us, we know that Arsenal is wounded, so we shall look for him. But first, tell us where your ally is…” Burns issued off in demanding what he wants from this bunch.

“Like we rat out a friend’s location.” Flash snapped of that there was no way they do something that low.

“We are not someone that sell out a friend, to some creature like you who apparently lacks them.” Zecora spoke off in rhyme while sounding kind of mad, which is scary in itself it seems.

“Then perhaps you need to be taunt your place, take them to the Torture room.” Burns stated off in what they will do to the others, introduce them to a little…torture section.

“Torture room? I don’t like the sounds of that!” Sunset yelps in having bad memories from when the Dark Mystics tried to get information out of her because she came from the Human World of EQG Universe.

“Quite so, they appear to not believe us, so they will get the answer out by force, a rather barbaric move.” Time Turner stated to say this in seeing the tactic that these ponies are going for.

“Take them away.” Burns issued off as he looks back to see someone give him the artifact of Spectre. “Now, let us begin, Operation: Knowledge Seeker.” He smiled off in seeing the time has come to prepare their next feat.

The rest of the Agents of Wraith were soon taking the others with them to where they were gonna get information from them. The scene focuses on what is going to be happening with those in the area…

Meanwhile, outside by a river, we see that something was happening that at an unexpected moment, the water was seen splashing as an object comes out. That was none other than a metallic hoof that fired a graphed onto a nearby tree, & out of it pulled the body of Arnseal as he fell on the ground from getting out of the running river.

“Guaaaugh! Cough-cough!” Arsenal gasped from having his first breath while coughing a bit.

“Arsenal, respond! What happened?” Then on his com-link, Octacon was heard trying to reach the guy at this time.

“Bad news, Wraith just got the drop on us.” Arsenal issued off to report the situation of what happened.

“That’s terrible. Where are you right now?” Octacon asked off in where Arsenal was at this very moment.

“Outside the temple tome. Can you still get a fix on the others?” Arsenal stated off in where he is while asking another question here.

“Yes, it looks like they haven’t located the tracking device in Time Turner’s equipment.” Octacon replied off in stating this of being able to track the others.

“Good, then use that to track them.” Arsenal nods off in seeing they have a shot of not losing anyone here.

“One more thing, I managed to get in contact with a few others close to the area. Including a use for the K.D.” Octacon issued off in mentioning this to Arsenal of sending in others in the area with one of them under a strange code-name.

“Hugh, you really wanna pull out something like that on these guys? Well, can’t much say the results wouldn’t make things easier, but best go through with it,” Arsenal made a sly smile in thinking that will make things more easier, which will make stopping what’s gonna happen a lot easier.

“They’ll be there shortly.” Octacon issued off that the ones on the way will arrive shortly soon.

“Good, tell Snake to find the other captives to, cause something tells me when the K.D. is unleashed, these guys won’t know what hit them.” Arsenal issued off to remind the guy about what will happen once they sick out the K.D., best to know where the Agents of Wraith have their captive friends to make breaking out easier.

“You best move quickly while backup is on the way. I’ll contact Snake to make sure everything is set. Over & out!” Octacon issue doff to say this before he had to hang up on his side.

With that, Arsenal begins to get moving to quickly get back to the temple tome. As the scene grows dark, many are wondering what is gonna happen next. For that, we do not know, but the answer will surely arrive….

Author's Note

The flashback displays Lyra Heartstrings' solo mission act took place during the Starlight Glimmer, which the case was taking place after the Monster Hunting Agency got assembled & after events from Friendship Is Magic: Canterlot Style story.

The scene shown in the flashback is kinda based on a scene from The Doctor Who Episode, "Girl in the Fireplace”. And the song Time Turner was singing was from the original G1 My Little Pony Cartoon.

Another chapter made nice & quite well. Next chapter, the agency members gotta try to figure out a way to escape as the Agents of Wraith are about to get started on their...torture section, OR...ARE THEY? When from out of the bloom, a special surprise breaks in, & the next thing to happen will be stopping Wraith's plan in trying to read the minds of all ponies to learn of secrets. Will the spies Celestia has faith in stop this new crime organization, they best hurry cause time is ticking & it will almost be up. Stay tune to see what will happen...

Chapter 04: Stopping a Wraith!

The scene begins to open around a strange dark, damp, dungeon theme within the temple tome that the Monster Hunting Agency were in from a different part. But since most of them were caught, they were brought down in this area to be interrogated for information, which the Agents of Wraith will be using to get anything else out of them. Much of the pony bunch were cuffed to chains connected to the walls to be restrain from going anywhere. While right now, the first victim of torture was Halse as the Armor Horus was being induced with magic shock treatments to inflict slow pain on the creature.

“Oh man, these guys aren’t letting up!” Flash cringed in seeing this action not be let up.

“Indeed, these acts of torture are very un-sportsmen-like.” Time Turner nods off in seeing that this action is very cruel.

“Are they gonna do the same thing to us?” Derpy asked off in feeling a bit concern about this.

“We must not let our tongues twist, be whatever they do, do not lose hope & slip out something we must hold.” Zecora issued off to say this in speaking her rhymes to not lose face here.

After a bit, the agents stop the shock torture they were giving to the blindfolded Halse while steam was coming off from so much electricity.

“Man, this Armor Horus sure is tough!” One Wraith Agent stated off in seeing how tough it was to get this guy to fall.

“The leader says to torture these guys till they talk, so…continue.” Another Wraith Agent suggested this off in what they are told to do.

“Grrrr….” Halse growls off in sensing these guys were not through even for an Armor Horus that has tough endurance to take such a torture section.

“Stop it!” Lyra shouted off to the guys that were gonna continue.

“That’s enough!” Bon-Bon yelled off that she wants these guys to cease their action.

“Hugh? They actually care about some Horus!” One Agent of Wraith exclaimed in having heard the mares care about some creature.

“Well I think it’s about time they too were not left out of the fun.” Another Wraith Agent suggested this about what they should do here.

“Do your worse if you can, you won’t be getting anything out from lips that dare not open for what you wish to hear.” Zecora said sternly to the minions.

“Oh brother, does this zebra ever get tired of rhyming?” One Agent of Wraith rolled his eyes in having to hear more rhyming things from Zecora.

“Zecora is right, we won’t say a word!” Flash issued off to say this with much determination in his voice.

“Oh, then what if we skip you & torture your little mare pal here?” One Agent of Wraith remarked off to stare from the guy over to Sunset, making the mare yelp with fearful thoughts.

“Hurt Sunset Shimmer & you’ll be the ones that pay!” Flash threaten these guys of what’s gonna happen if they hurt the one he cares for a lot.

“Flash.” Sunset softly spoke in feeling touch by such caring emotion.

“Enough horsing around, lets hurry up & get to work.” One Agent of Wraith snaps off that this was stalling them & they should get started on the torture work.

Much of the gang were gonna have to steel themselves in seeing that these Agents of Wraith guys were about to begin their own torture sections now. But just then, the place begins to shake a bit while arms are going off.

“Hey-hey, what’s the commotion now?” A Wraith Agent that felt like they were gonna be starting here, just got pulled out of what they almost were gonna do because of an alarm.

“Enemy has breach the base, there’s some unknown creature is in the base.” One Wraith Agent came into the torture room to issue the matter of something as come & is causing trucks.

“What kind of creature would be foolish enough to storm in here?” The Wraith Agent in charge of the torture room questioned this logic of who be stupid to come to them.

Soon from a magic screen appears in the room, showing a battle outside that was in progress. Agents of Wraith are seen being flung one part of a room to another as one crashes right near the camera. The agent start shooting again as the creature pounces the guys as it shows what is before those in the torture room to about recognize it.

“Hey, isn’t that a Kirin Dragon?” Derpy asked off in seeing what the creature was on camera.

“Why yes, I believe his name is Azure!” Time Turner exclaimed in recalling the name of that dragon.

“Hey, you hear what that cross-eye pony said?” One of the Wraith Agents asked off in what Derpy said.

“Impossible! A Kirin Dragon has not been seen in thousands of years!” The second Wraith Agent protest the idea of there being such a creature.

“Well this Kirin belongs to a certain pink pony your organization captured along with the others. And I can pretty much guess he is pretty angry at the ones who have her.” Bon-Bon stated off to mention this in having a feeling why a Kirin is here, because of what these guys have down.

The guys in the room began to think about this before some of them had their eyes shrink a bit while there is sweat coming down them. The Agents of Wraith start to recall the flat mane pink pony that looks like Pinkamena, to think she had something like a Kirin Dragon around. Then something busted into the torture room by smashing the door down. When the smoke clears way, there was one Azure the Kirin that stuck its head in while it growls at some of the scared Agents of Wraith that start backing into a corner in fear.

“I can guess Pinkamena's group found out what happened & now you’re here.” Bon-Bon spoke off towards the Kirin Dragon in having to guess what was happening thus far.

“I went ahead, the others will be here soon to join up with some other pony in a getup like a spy.” Azure explained this off to the others about a few things & detailing someone that sounds familiar to them.

“That pony is Solid Snake, he is helping us out.” Bon-Bon explained this to Azure in understanding who he was referring to.

“Speaking of which….Could you help us out since your here?” Lyra asked off in thinking this guy can get them out of this pickle state.

“I was thinking you would’ve been able to get out.” Azure raised an eyebrow in pondering about the matter of helping out those that need help or can get out themselves.

“Well we are still new to this spy agent stuff, but we might know where they’re holding the others captured, including Pinkamena too!” Derpy exclaimed off to sheepishly say this stuff while just stating this other part here.

“I was planning to get you out anyway.” Azure stated off to say this as he slashes & bites the chain restrains along with the anti-magic collar stuff, thus freeing the group.

“It’s a good thing Ponyville is lucky to have a great friend & a good ally like you on our side when we need it.” Bon-Bon complimented the Kirin Dragon for being the right helpful type in certain moments.

“Lead the way to the captured ones & our foe that must pay.” Azure asked off that he needs to be guided to find those still held captive while taking on the main enemy.

“I do believe we overheard one of the guards say that the other captives they took in are asleep a few rooms over.” Time Turner exclaimed to say this about what they know so far from having overheard some discussion.

“Then we should be able to find them, right?” Derpy exclaimed in what they outta be doing now.

“Then we best not delay, every second counts.” Flash issued off in what they need to do now.

“Then let us be on our way, before the enemy can move ahead with their next feat.” Zecora issued off her rhyming words of what they best do.

“Will we be able to move, this temple is kinda not too large for a Dragon like Azure’s size. And it might bring the roof down with the others still inside.” Sunset stated off to say that they have to be careful with Azure joining, his big body could bring down this place before they can learn where the others are.

“Oh if that’s a problem, I can get smaller for the tight spaces. I just went a little wild is all,” Azure stated off to say this about what he did & will change things.

With that decision now made, the group are soon seen leaving the torture room while leaving the agents that were too scared to move behind. But when the group left, the agents looked to another in thinking this will not set right when their leader learns about this. The scene goes dark while many things are just getting started here…

Within the main temple’s tome, the Agents of Wraith have already finished their setup plans. The artifact Spectre was place in the spot where many of the agents were preparing the conditions as their leader Burns was watching this begin to take into the next stage event.

“Is everything set?” Burns asked in wanting to make sure everything is in order.

“Yes, the timing of activation is now.” An Agent of Wraith responded off that all things are set.

“Good, proceed without fail.” Burns issued off that the operation shall go on without a hitch.

“Yes!” The other agents of Wraith responded off in unity.

“Sir, our forces are being pushed back!” Then one agent ran in to alert the leader with news of something happening.

“That Dragon is making a mess!” Another agent from nearby also responded about the Kirin Dragon causing some ruckus.

“Reports are coming in! The agency prisoners have escaped!” Then a second agent issued off to warn those that their captive prisoners they got today are free.

“Tch, again, such annoyances.” Burns scoffs off in being annoyed by such news of those that should be detain are active again.

“What are the orders?” One agent asked off in what they should do about this.

“Batten down everything, I want this plan to go off without a hitch. Failure will not be tolerated!” Burns issued off an order in not wanting anything to disturb his plan.

“Yes, sir!” The other agents responded off in having heard this, as some were about to head off to perform the task.

“Kaboomfruvhmmm…./GRUUAAUGHHH!” Just then without warning, an explosion went off behind the agents that got them screaming off backwards.

“What?” Burns looked back in what the commotion is as the others stared puzzled.

“Sorry, but your plan is about to go up in smoke.” Then entering from the smoke around was…Arsenal with his eyes gazing at the bunch.

“Hey, isn’t that….” One agent yelps in knowing who has appeared.

“The Arms Stallion, Arsenal!” The second agent stated in recognizing the known guy here.

“But he was hit with a missile & busted out through the walls!” Another agent protest in stating what happened to this stallion.

“No normal pony would have survived that!” The other agent issued off to protest that Arsenal should not have survived that, so how…?

“You failed to account that I’m not normal.” Arsenal issued off to say this with a sly smile that spooked some of the agents a bit.

“Do not let him interrupt the plan, keep him down!” Burns issued off that he does not want the plan to be stopped by any means.

Now many of the agents of Wraith were soon charging forth in about to use their melee weapons to attack the pony, but Arsenal instead held up his cybernetic arm with a surprise in store…

“Shuriken Shooter!” Arsenal announced in showing a weapon connected to his right mechanical arm as it fires off spinning blue shuriken disk that were slicing things apart.

“Waaaughhh!” Many Agents of Wraith screamed from being sliced all around & scattered.

“Sorry, but you can sent a dozen of them & I still be on top.” Arsenal made a sly smile in making this claim about not being fazed.

“Use the heavy artillery, you fools!” Burns gave out the order for his agents to bring out heavier artillery.

That’s when many of the Agents of Wraith brought out heavy Gatling guns & missile launchers before firing them off. Multi explosions were happening around Arsenal’s spot, but when the smoke was clearing…a strange barrier of magic energy protected the guy.

“What!” One agent yelped in seeing what happened here.

“Not a scratch on him!” A second agent exclaimed in seeing what happened here.

“Super Invincibility!” Arsenal exclaimed off the name of the technique he used to protect himself. “Now I’m invulnerable from all threats for a good 4 minutes. Plenty of time to wrap things up.” He made a wise-crack smile in seeing with this, he’ll be able to clean up in under 4 minutes.

Now the showdown between Arsenal & the rest of Wraith was about to be underway here. The scene soon goes dark around now as we have a change of scenery now…

The scene changes to a different location in where it looks like a cell area within the temple’s tome. From there, we find the Mane Five & Pinkamena were strangely sleeping in cages at this time. But when the loud noises from what was happening outside, caused one of them to slowly wake up around this time.

“Hmmm….what’s all that racket out there?” Pinkamena’s tired self slowly spoke off in feeling like she woke up from so much loud racket.

Then without warning, the doors were busted one in where something was seen coming in, it was the Monster Hunting Agency along with Azure in his Pony Dragon Hybrid form…

“Look! There they are!” Bon-Bon pointed off in noticing who was here; the missing Mane Five & Pinkamena.

“We found them!” Lyra exclaimed to say in seeing they found those that went missing.

“Pinkamena, your here!” Azure The Kirin exclaimed to say this as he saw Pinkamena with much relief & joy.

“Hugh? What-what, did I miss something?” Pinkamena slowly asked off puzzled in thinking she was missing something here.

“What was the last thing you remember?” Flash asked off in what those that were taken lastly remember.

“I was in Sugercube Corner, then some weird smoke blew in & then….I was out cold.” Pinkamena stated off in recalling the last few things that she recalled before being knocked out.

“It would appear she & the others have been inhaling none stop knockout gas, they apparently are in no shape to fight.” Time Turner stated in noticing how the others like Pinkamena are faring.

“Azure, do you think you can take them back to Ponyville?” Sunset asked the Kirin Dragon to take these ponies back home.

“Well sure I can, but will the rest of you be okay?” Azure nods off to say this while pondering if the group will be alright.

“Do not fear, we shall do what can be done. We all have a part to play & yours…is helping our friends get back home.” Zecora spoke off her rhymes in stating this of what the Kirin Dragon can do.

“Alright, leave it to me, I’ll also find Golden Heart’s group & return back to Ponyville. Good luck!” Azure the Kirin Dragon nods his head in having heard this of knowing what he can do to help.

Now Azure quickly bust a wall with a flaming breath before transforming into his Dragon self & took off with everyone. But afterwards, loud noises above shook the area that made the group yelp, sounds like some battle is happening upstairs.

“You all heard that, right?” Bon-Bon asked off in what they just heard moments ago.

“Wow, what’s going on up there?” Lyra asked in being puzzled about this unexpected event.

“It sounds like there’s an unexpected commotion going on.” Time Turner stated in how it all sounds like to him.

“But by who?” Derpy asked in being puzzled about this thing.

“Perhaps it is an ally we thought was lost, but instead has return to us in such unexpected motions of devotion.” Zecora issued off to say this in having a rhyming answer for this question.

“It must be Arsenal. So he did survive.” Sunset stated off to say this with a smile across her face.

“Then we better join in, hey Halse, up for some payback?” Flash stated off to say this while helping get the Armor Horus free.

“I am, let’s do it!” Halse issued off to say this in getting himself ready to exact some vengeance.

Now the Monster Hunting Agency bunch were quickly gonna get their next A-Game on as they quickly leave the other cell room. The scene goes dark now as many things are bound to happen with what commotion is still taking place.

Back where Arsenal was, he had already taken care of many of the small fry types of Wraith Agents & there were only a few tougher ones still remaining. Right now, Burns was having many of his agents keep the good busy, but then Arsenal fired off more arrows that exploded around that caused many agents to back away.

“What’s wrong, running out of ideas?” Arsenal made a sly remake to state this in seeing how the table was turning.

“No, only to stall you. Behold!” Burns stated off to issue this before deciding to focus on the main event.

At the moment, the Spectre lights up as the light from above shines on it from being reflected. Now an invisible wave spreads out across Equestria as particles of different colors of many minds of living creatures are being pulled in.

“Now nothing can stop me from reading the minds of all secret information that every villain in Equestria would pay top dollar to learn.” Burns exclaimed in seeing that soon, he will have what will allow him to know every secret anyone in Equestria has that is worth their weight in gold.

“So that’s your game plan, hugh?” Arsenal raised an eyebrow in seeing what the villain here was planning.

“Yes, but the biggest secret is the location of the Mystic Shield, the Lords of Equestria will want that most of all.” Burns exclaimed in how he’ll use the information of reading minds to get the secrets of a certain shield.

“System is getting feedbacks!” An agent responded off to say this of what they are getting here.

“We’re separating the thoughts & secrets of everyone in Equestria.” Another agent issued off in separating the readouts from the minds the Spectre is picking up.

“You may as well give up now.” Burns smile doff in stating that the chances of turning things around are slim.

Then without warning, the floor busted off at this time which reveals the Monster Hunting Agency gang coming through before joining the moment.

“Super-Secret Spy Surprise!” Lyra issued off to say this in surprising many here.

“Nice of you to pop in.” Arsenal smiled off to see some familiar faces enter the scene.

“That’s right & now we’re here to clean somebody’s clocks.” Bon-Bon issued off to say this with a proud smile on her face.

“Where?” Derpy asked in looking around for the said clocks.

“It’s a figure of speech, Derpy.” Time Turner stated to remind the mare of what was said.

“Drat! It seems you can be as annoying as the heroes of Equestria!” Burns cursed in seeing this group was as annoying as the Mane Six bunch.

“We may be small, but together, we can come out strong.” Zecora issued forth to say this in rhymes about the matter.

“Now it’s time to stop your plans here & now.” Halse issued forth to say this in getting himself ready along with Sunset & Flash.

“We shall see about that, I still have my finest agents left.” Burns protest to say this that he is not out of the woods yet as he turns to his remaining agents that have yet to fall. “ATTACK!” Burns gave the order out to his more elite members to go forth & attack.

At this moment, the last & tough agents of Wraith began to head into the battle against the spies here. During the same motion, the background was playing ‘Secret Agent Man’ to spice up the drama motion happening. The agency group gets themselves ready as they get whatever objects around or use whatever they got to perform self-defense.

Song: There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Flash charges forth with a spear he wields as he clashes with one enemy while Sunset fires a magic beam at another. Bon-Bon & Lyra dodge some hulking brute stallion that tries to throw some hooves punches, but they are too nimble for him. Then Derpy flies in to whack a metal bar on the brute’s head, only for the guy to chuckle off as if not feeling anything while it left a mark on the metal bar. Burns yelps as he sees Arsenal aim his next weapon off in firing it towards him as he dodges the shots before they hit.

Song: Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

Then some Wraith Agent took his derby hat off to throw it off like a boomerang attack. Time Turner saw this, as he saw three guys coming at him, so he duck down just as the derby hat came by & knocked three agents out of the park. Bon-Bon & Lyra were having trouble as the brute stallion had them pin down, Derpy bang the metal bar on the guy, but he was too durable that he laugh off the pain. But then the cross-eyed pony toss the object on the flying derby hat which its course went off that hit the back of the brute stallion’s head to knock him off, thus freeing Bon-Bon & Lyra.

“Hugh?” Bon-Bon & Lyra looked puzzled in seeing this, that was just…unexpected.

Song: Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Oh, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Next to happen was Flash swinging to block his enemy that wielded a sword, as the guy was doing his best. But then an agent was gonna attack, but a sudden wind alerted Flash before he flew up to twirl his spear that knocks doff both attackers on the side. Some brunch were coming after Halse, but he used his Tempest Wing to create another twister that was blowing away the competition without fail. Sunset saw her chance to fire some spells that blinded the agents to give the others some chance.

Song: Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

While the Wraith Agents were blinded, Zecora took out some potions to throw them off that created havoc, coughing, sneezing, eyes welling up in tears, itching, anything one can think of. Then Zecora charged off to tackle & delivered a few good kicks that really left a mark on the agents & surprise a bit of her teammates that the shaman can fight.

Song: Swinging on the Riviera one day
And then laying in a Bombay alley next day
Oh, don't you let the wrong words slip
While kissing persuasive lips
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Seeing what was going on, Burns ordered his magic users to fire off a horde of fireball spells which they did. But then Arsenal took the moment to use his cybernetic hoof arm to turn into his strongest weapon; the Hydra before firing a powerful blast shot that evaporated the fireballs. Then with the right timing, Arsenal continued his attack to go across all directions while the good guys duck, the enemies were inflicted with the damage.

Song: Secret Agent Man
Secret Agent Man
They've given you a number and taken away your name

“Triizziivhmmm…KABOOM…KABOOM….” But the blast beam soon touched the Spectre’s location as the moment it came in contact started to cause things around to blow up without warning. Burns saw this, the data they collected was blowing up & the artifact was destroyed & that caused a chain-reaction. Wraith’s leader started to turn & getaway before the rest of the Monster Hunting Agency arrived on the spot. Soon the song began to play out the last bit in instrument very.

“You cursed ponies, you have foiled my plans!” Burns cursed the group in seeing that his hard work, was now going up in smoke.

“It’s over Burns Strato Breezefield, you’re kaput.” Arsenal issued off to say that this was over, the leader of the Agents of Wraith is finished along with much of his mysterious pony bunch.

“Then as the old saying goes, he who fights & runaway, lives to fight another day.”

Soon the explosions happened that blinded everyone’s view as Burns Strato Breezefield was gone the next minute in using that smoke as cover for an escape.

“Drat! He got away!” Lyra cursed in seeing the main villain of the criminal organization escaped.

“Never mind that! We got bigger problems!” Bon-Bon stated to say in seeing they should be concern over something else.

“Like what?” Derpy raised an eyebrow in not following along the discussion.

“How about this temple is about to explode in a few minutes?” Time Turner pointed off that this place will go up in smoke if they don’t get out.

“I do believe our time spend here is up, now is time we take our leave here…before we overstay our welcome.” Zecora spoke in rhymes to issue off the current matter of their situation.

“Everyone grab onto me that can’t fly, the rest follow.” Halse issued off that the others that can’t fly hold onto him.

“Hold onto me Sunset.” Flash issued in wanting his love to hold him tight.

“You got it!” Sunset nods off to say in holding onto Flash.

Now in the last second, the spy gang was seen escaping the explosion by blasting out of the danger through an open hole in the wall. At the same moment, the entire temple tome was going up in eruption of explosions before it was no more. The group had done it, they protected the minds of Equestria from being misused for evil. Now the good guys are making their way back towards Ponyville, the scene begins to close off around this time as there is one more event to come before the Monster Hunting Agency can close this case…

Author's Note

Well, we're done & we're about to see the final chapter. Having stopped Wraith's evil objective, the Monster Hunting Agency return to Ponyville while hearing that everything is all right. The Mane Five are home safe & sound, the Sparkle Family has too, & it seems like everything will be fine afterwards. What will happen once something that also took place had been resolve be for the young spies, well...that's a secret until then...

Chapter 05: What Happens Next

We begin to open around seeing the Monster Hunting Agency flying as they were traveling from the path of where they managed to stop the Agents of Wraith from carrying out their evil plot. For now the group have just escaped from when the enemy leader, Burns Strato Breezefield almost succeeded in having the ability from the artifact; Spectre to read the minds of everyone in Equestria. At least with this evil plan put a stop, the spies are making their way back home for some well deserve rest…

“Everyone, can you hear me.” Octacon spoke out from the com-link that was reaching out to those flying.

“Octacon, yes, we hear you.” Bon-Bon replied off to say this that they can hear the guy just fine.

“How’d everything go? We’ve received reports the temple tome blew up.” Octacon stated off to ask while noticing what happened in the area the group was in.

“Yeah, about that….are we in trouble that we lost the Spectre in that explosion.” Lyra sheepishly asked this off in thinking they might be in trouble because the artifact they were supposed to keep safe got destroyed.

“Oh that’s right, we were so caught up we forgot!” Derpy yelps a bit in realizing the error of not recalling that.

“About that, we got the word from Celestia to not worry about something like that.” Octacon issued off to report this news for everyone to suddenly learn.

“Really? She’s alright with that?” Flash raised an eyebrow in hearing this while being surprised.

“She felt it, that something was making her leak out the knowledge she’s kept secret for so long, but in a split moment, you stop it, am I right?” Octacon stated off to mention this about what was going on before the action was stopped by those on the job.

“Quote so, we seem to have foiled Wraith’s objective without a second of a delay.” Time Turner stated off in knowing how they did things that helped settle things nicely.

“Now the times for peace have return, at least where our minds are now secure.” Zecora spoke out in a rhyme over the case of saving the minds of many from being read out.

“Any word from Snake?” Sunset asked about the other spy friend of theirs & how he was doing.

“Yes, he’s doing well, he wasn’t near the explosion, but he does feel like you caused one bang-up job.” Octacon stated off to say this with a smile in stating this report.

“Heh, guess that’s a compliment worth taking in what we managed to do.” Arsenal issued off to say with a sly smile in how that sounded like.

“Right now, Snake’s trying to figure out how many Wraith Agents managed to escape besides the main leader.” Octacon issued off about the members of Wraith that have not been taken or how many are loose.

“Does that mean that they’ll be back? We have enough trouble with the Three Lords or other major villains that show up out of the blue?” Sunset asked in feeling that they don’t want more problems with other villains or groups than those from the Three Lords.

“For now, all we can do is just wait & see, I guess.” Flash suggested in what they can do for now from what is happening that they won’t know until later on.

“I also have good news, currently, the Mane Five & Pinkamena are safely back & are doing well, also…” Octacon spoke out in giving some good news in the case before stopping.

“What is it?” Halse asked in sensing that there was something else the guy was holding back.

“The Sparkle Family have also appear to have shown up without warning & that was after a half hour of when something brightly flash over Rainbow Castle.” Octacon issued off to say about what occurred during the recent event for the Monster Hunting Agency group.

“What do you think happened?” Derpy asked off puzzled in having heard about such news.

“Hmm….it feels like during our entire action, it’s possible that something affected our world without us knowing it during the Spectre’s active use blocking it out.” Time Turner hums a bit to himself in trying to think for a moment about this whole thing about what happened during their case to crack; did it affect them somehow?

“Can you figure it out?” Arsenal asked off if Octacon can understand what happened.

“With time, yes, but that will not be easy.” Time Turner issued off to say this about how such things will take time to understand.

“We need to focus on the matter of where disaster is averted, instead of something else when it does not matter.” Zecora spoke in rhyme to say something here in which many were listening very closely here.

“I think she’s saying that we need to look on the good rather than anything that is bad.” Bon-Bon pointed off in stating what she thinks Zecora is trying to say.

“Yeah, let’s head on home & can’t wait until we get another case to solve as spies.” Lyra smiled off to say this in knowing that she really wants to get home before another case comes around.

“After this one, maybe we should just hang out, what do you say Lyra?” Bon-Bon smiled off to say this to her best friend about the idea.

“Okay, sounds good to me, we can hang out in Ponyville.” Lyra smiled off to simply say this about the idea that sounded so great.

“Oh, I can take us there too, what say you Time Turner?” Derpy stated to say this to her own passenger about the idea.

“Well, I am in no hurry, why not?” Time Turner shrug off to say that he doesn’t mind the idea at all.

“I too wish to return to where I belong, for while I live in a hut in a forest so far, Ponyville is as close to home as can be.” Zecora spoke in her rhymes in stating this off about being so close to friends from her home.

“Well I’ll wish you all a safe time, I’ll be heading off towards Canterlot for a bit, see you around.” Arsenal stated to simply say this in what they will do during that time.

“I shall drop you off then, no need to worry.” Halse issued off that he will help get Arsenal to where he needs to be no problem.

Having what they all wanted to say, many began to continue moving off as they flew closer to Canterlot & the Rainbow Kingdom. The scene begins to darken now as we will soon see what will be happening from here on out…

At this time hidden in an unknown dark forest, Burns Strato Breezefield & his very few surviving Wraith Agents were licking their wounds & trying to setup some mechanical equipment, if it didn’t steam up every time they try to get back into business. Pretty much, they are in a sorry state, lost many members, much equipment, & all because of some spies that interfered with their plans.

“Dang, not again!” An agent complained in seeing another system overheated on them.

“The leader is not gonna like this.” A second agent shook his head in seeing this was not good news to tell Burns about.

“Hey, here he comes now.” The other agent nervously pointed as Burns approached his remaining agents that yelp with fright.

“What’s the damage those spies did to us?” Burns asked off in wanting some answers to what he wants to know.

“Sir, the damage is very high.” One agent issued off to explain about what has occurred of the damages done to their group.

“And we lost a lot of our members.” A second agent stated off that they did lose a lot of members from their failed plan.

“It’ll take us weeks, even months to get Wraith back on track.” A third agent reported the matter of where they will need a lot of time to get their organization back up & running.

“Well that’s just perfect…” Burns rolled his eyes in feeling that things are really not working out for him.

An agent ask Breezefield,"Just out of curiosity, how did you get the name Breezefield? That sounds like a name that would be more appropriate for a Pegasus and you are an Earth pony."

Breezefield answer, "Well, since I'm going to kill you anyway or later if you think of making fun of me later for my answer, I'll tell you. Even though my late father was an Earth pony, my late mother was a Pegasus and I adopted her maiden name as my own surname upon reaching adulthood. After all, I might be in charge of an international clandestine organization determined to rule the world, but I still loved my mother. And I will pre-emptively remind all of you that anybody who dares to talk trash about her is all the more likely to have their demise be as slow and painful as possible."

“What do we do now?” Another agent asked off in what they do from here on out.

“Everything is in shambles!” A second agent exclaimed how their order is completely wrecked.

“We’ll start from the bottom & work back up. Those ponies have not heard the last of us.” Burns issued off to say this in what they will have to do, fix things to work their way back up from the bottom.

With that, Burns glared off across the horizon in feeling so much fury, time will only help slowly make his heart blaze for vengeance. As the scene begins to darken, Burns will have his revenge someday when his organization is rebuilt, someday that is….

Within Canterlot Castle, Arsenal was seen in the throne room where Celestia stood before the Arms Stallion. The guy was reporting everything to Celestia after being dropped off by Halse, the Armor Horus. After being able to give the details about what happened with the artifact Spectre & the Agents of Wraith, everything was clear for the Princess of the Sun to have heard it all.

“I thank you Arsenal, for helping Bon-Bon & the Monster Hunting Agency.” Celestia spoke up in thanking Arsenal in what he has done for them.

“Well, it was a surprise to work with such a strange team….haven’t done that since the Mane Six with the Equalizer.” Arsenal shrug off to state this about how it felt being with a team again.

“We also have notice about that one, the Equalizer was once Starlight Glimmer.” Octacon spoke out from entering the throne room along with Solid Snake to state out this matter.

“Wait, are you serious?” Arsenal raised an eyebrow in having heard this surprise fact out of nowhere about Starlight Glimmer & the Equalizer.

“Their patterns match of their objectives, no questions asked.” Octacon stated to say this while facing his glasses at the moment.

“But now Starlight Glimmer is starting over, so I would like it if she was listed as a now reform enemy to make sure that next time, she will not be judge so cruelly.” Celestia stated in requesting that any issues about Starlight Glimmer & from what she did in the past, she is considered a reform enemy & to be treated fairly.

“Well, at least she’s spared from what those poor saps of Wraith are gonna be living under hard times in Grimdark.” Solid Snake huffed off to say this about what the captured Wraith Agents are gonna be serving for the next few years in prison.

“By the way, you said Starlight Glimmer was trying to mess with history by changing the events in time travel?” Octacon asked off in wanting to know something that Celestia told him before.

“Yes, but Twilight, my son Ben & her family helped reach out to her.” Celestia nods off to state about this case about what else occurred that the threat was settled, by peaceful means.

“Then that explains why the data we have about certain events have changed.” Octacon rubbed his chin to think about this from what happened when a matter concerning time travel was involved.

“What do you mean Octacon?” Solid Snake asked off in seeing his friend had something on the mind to be so serious.

“Well when the light from the Rainbow Castle happened, it was just after stopping Wraith by removing the Spectre artifact from the equation. Hidden during that commotion, it looks like something had changed.” Octacon explained the case about what occurred that they seem to never notice of when two unusual events took place, something weird may have happened in-between them.

“Hmmm…now that you mention it, there was someone I recall that was with Starlight Glimmer when she fought the Mane Six as the Equalizer, she had help from someone other than the Dark Mystics she associated with, but…I can’t recall him.” Arsenal rubbed his chin in trying to recall a certain moment of when he & the Mane Six fought the Equalizer that Starlight Glimmer don on, but she escaped from the help of someone, but it was not a Dark Mystic the mare was using for her own gain, but yet still…he doesn’t have a clue of who it was.

“And that’s also it, whoever that enemy was is long gone from the long living enemy list.” Octacon pointed out that something happened that a certain enemy just…vanished from their memory.

“So you’re saying they did something that affected one enemy?” Solid Snake raised an eyebrow in having heard this to be slightly curious.

“Not just one, maybe others. Last time, many Element Wielders went to Stark International, then came back just as the Sparkle Family did. They reported that some big battle occurred in a place called the Time Realm, where a Time Relapse happened that reset the time stream before it came crashing down.” Octacon explained about what was reported that Twilight’s time travel group encountered something & they along with some allies just made it out when everything was reset, somewhat, back to normal.

“Hugh, guess wrecking something in a time stream really does some wonky things.” Solid Snake rubbed his chin in having heard this to be slightly more intrigued about it.

“Then I guess since we’re alive, Twilight, Ben & the others with them somehow managed to keep us intact. But with some slight change unseen to the eye.” Arsenal stated to say about how things ended up for them & that it at least wasn’t too bad from some perspective view.

“This will take time…” Octacon stated off to say this about needing time to get such information gathered.

“For now, we must be glad that all things are well & I thank you all for supporting us.” Celestia stated to mention how glad she was of those that have helped out.

“Well, those monster hunting agents did pretty alright in a big way.” Solid Snake nodded off in mentioning this off which caught some attention.

“Why Snake, are you complimenting the new agents?” Octacon exclaimed to say in having heard this piece of surprise words of kindness.

“I said they did pretty alright, they still need a lot more work if they are gonna last.” Solid Snake stated off from informing about what Bon-Bon’s group did that was not too bad, still need a lot more work though.

“Whatever you say.” Octacon rolled his eyes in seeing how Snake was saving face by being serious & cool.

“So what happens next Celestia?” Arsenal asked off in what will happen from here on out.

“Now, we see how things will go, for many of us…” Celestia smiled off to simply mention this as being a positive looker of the case to come.

With that heard, many were in silent agreement on that, they will just have to wait & see how things go from here. Soon the scene begins to go dark from here, as a case in point has at least come to a nice closure here…

The scene focuses on where Bon-Bon, Lyra, Flash, Sunset, Derpy & Time Turner were hanging by a locate cafe area. They were discussing some new surprises during a little ‘routine’ that also followed a song & dance number. All the same, even after closing up the Wraith threat, learning about Starlight Glimmer being reform was something that many were feeling happy to hear Twilight reached out to her good side.

“Can you believe it, the times we once fought Starlight Glimmer…” Bon-Bon stated off in about to say something until she was cut off.

“I know, now we heard she’s now a new friend to the Mane Six group.” Flash stated to say this in how surprised he was to hear about a reform Starlight Glimmer.

“What’s wrong with that Flash, isn’t it better that she’s no longer an enemy?” Sunset asked her lover about what was wrong with such a thing.

“Of course not, I’m just surprised. The only other enemies that became reform were Nightmare Moon, Nyx, Discord, & well…you get what I mean.” Flash shrug off to lightly state about such matters that played out.

“Yes, but still, it might not be so bad.” Lyra stated off to say this in trying to look at things in a more positive view.

“Well, from what we heard, Starlight Glimmer is very good in her use of magic. Even to impress Princess Twilight Sparkle.” Time Turner stated off in mentioning how Starlight Glimmer could impress someone like Twilight who is very good in use of magic.

“No kidding, wow, she must be pretty amazing!” Derpy stated off to say this in being awed & impressed.

“Glad we survived against her.” Sunset sighs to say this that they didn’t fight such a pony who was so hard for Twilight to beat.

“She might have gotten stronger after a while.” Flash stated off to mention this about the terms of starlight’s stronger use of magic.

“Indeed, to be a hard foe in the magic usage department would make her hard to beat, especially when she tire out an Alicorn class like Twilight Sparkle!” Time Turner exclaimed how a unicorn like Starlight Glimmer was a match for an alicorn class like Twilight baffles the mind.

“Well, they say it’s better to be friends than to be enemies, right?” Derpy smiled off to simply say this as a good statement to live by.

“You know, that is very true.” Lyra nods of with a smile in happily agreeing on the subject. Lyra comment, "Maybe we can get Breezy angry enough to get careless by hitting him with a lot of 'Yo Mama' jokes."

“And what makes you say that?” Time Turner ask, puzzled by Lyra saying that all of the sudden.

“Not sure, just this feeling, I guess.”

“Well at least things are gonna be a bit more interesting from now on.” Bon-Bon stated off to say this about how things will go from here on out.

“What do you think will happen with Starlight Glimmer around?” Sunset asked in being curious about things with Starlight Glimmer joining the scene & being friends to the Mane Six.

“Who knows, for now….that’s for later, after all, we’re here to have a good time for stopping Wraith, right?” Bon-Bon shrug off to say this while changing the subject a bit.

“Right!” Derpy replied off to agree about that.

“Very true.” Time Turner nods off in also agreeing there.

“Don’t we know it?” Flash exclaimed to say this issue of the matter.

“Whelp, to our aid in helping Equestria.” Sunset held up a glass in making a toast.

“Cheers everyone!” Lyra exclaimed this off to all of them with a happy smile.

“Cheers!” The group spoke as they toasted their glasses in union.

Now the Monster Hunting Agency bunch were now just chatting & having a good time here. While the scene begins to go dark, many can tell that from a new experience from today, they did good as a working group even without the Mane Six or stronger allies like the Mystics or the Element Warriors to back them up. So who knows what the future might bring them, that in itself is a mystery to be solved another time. For now, everyone is happy from making a difference, & with that, will come a new dawning day…

The End

Chapter 02: What's a...Wraith?

Chapter 02: What’s a…Wraith?

The scene starts in showing that Celestia was heading off somewhere within Canterlot Castle, when suddenly…Loud nois es & strange shaking motions catch the mare’s attention as if there was a strange commotion.

“Something’s happening?” Celestia stated off in what was going on before gasping a bit. “Oh no, the artifact!” This must be an attack to steal the artifact that they are holding onto.

Celestia was seen using her magic horn to teleport herself directly to the room in where something has happened. However, but the time Celestia enters the picture, there was nothing but a mess & many of the dozen dressed suspicious looking ponies scattered all over while the Monster Hunting duo along with Halse & Daring Do let off light sighs of relief that such things were well over.

“What happened?” Celestia asked off in seeing what was left over here; apparently she missed the fight & settlement of what happened.

“Well, on the down side, the place is a little messy.” Lyra pointed off in stating about the mess that was made from stopping these guys.

“And the upside?” Celestia raised an eyebrow in what the rest of the message to report was.

“The artifact is safe!” Bob-Bon pointed out that the artifact they needed to keep safe is, well, safe…

“So how did this all come to be?” Celestia asked off in getting back to how things even became like it is now.

“Well, we were first surrounded. Then these guys were asking we hand over the artifact.” Lyra pointed off in how things went for them during the first half of what went down.

“Which of course, as you can see, they didn’t get by.” Daring Do smiled off with confidence that they managed to stop any theft in its tracks.

“It’s most likely because we had help from…our manager of our agency.” Bon-Bon pointed off to a direction of who helped them out of this tight jam.

Then eyes turn to the corner in where leaning on the wall, was Solid Snake, a stallion who’s a real pro in the career of being an undercover agent & a spy. It would appear that it was thanks to his extra help that this little problem got cleaned up in a quicker pace than before.

“Celestia asked me & Octacon to be involved, considering what’s gone on.” Solid Snake issued off to mention how he ended up getting rolled into this.

“We had them about handled, then Snake came in, & well, it was kinda wow in how he’s a real pro.” Lyra stated to explain how they were doing well, then Solid Snake got in & that’s when things really was moving along.

“Maybe in a few years, most of you can be too.” Solid Snake stated off about the young agents here that given time, they can handle such things.

“What about their objective, just who are these mysterious ponies?” Halse asked forth in looking over the mysterious dozen ponies they took down.

“It’s not like we can ask them to tell us anything.” Bon-Bon raised an eyebrow in knowing about a certain thing that isn’t as easy as it sounds.

“Let me handle this & just follow along, we’ll get somewhere.” Solid Snake stated off to say this that he’ll handle the part of what needs to be done.

Many had heard this while Solid Snake approaches to grab a nearby squad lackey to shake him up a bit, which was causing the guy to slowly regain his senses.

“Ugh…Uaaagh!” One of the mysterious masked squad ponies moans from slowly waking up, but he’ll wish he hadn’t.

“Alright pal, start talking, who are you jokers & who are you working for?” Solid Snake grabs the guy in starting to get down to the interrogation to get the enemy to spill everything.

“Ugh….you can kiss my flank for all I care for, I’ll never tell!” The squad guy made a remark statement of not telling these guys nothing.

“Wow, guy’s not breaking down so easily.” Daring Do stated off in seeing how someone is not willing to talk.

“You better start talking, cause we got a carnivore here that just love to meet you.” Solid Snake stated off to mention this sort of thing without warning.

“Carnivore?” Bon-Bn & Lyra replied off a bit baffled, do they have someone here who is like that?

“Ever met an Armor Horus that when it’s famish & doesn’t eat something, it resorts to taking on something with a little more meat on the bones.” Solid Snake explained this to the strange masked squad guy of his group about meeting such a creature that is hungry.

“Armor Horus….me?” Halse asked off puzzled, Solid Snake was referring to him, what could he be planning here?

“You…you’re lying, that guy doesn’t look like a carnivore!” The squad guy replied off in starting to feel a bit frighten while hoping that stuff was a lie.

“Wanna bet?” Solid Snake issued off that the guy here doesn’t believe him.

“Ugh….” The squad guy yelps in not sure if he was thinking of doing that.

“Hey Halse, want a treat? Dig in!” Solid Snake turn to Halse in asking if the Armor Horus was liking something to eat, maybe who he has.

“Very well…” Halse nods off in figuring out the plan to play along.

Soon Halse approached the two as it was starting to open its beaky mouth like it was about to swallow or take a bite out of something. Seeing what was happening, the squad lackey guy was starting to sweat a nervous storm that….he was gonna be eaten if he doesn’t squeal.

“AAAAHHHH! I’LL TALK! I’LL TALK!” The squad guy screams out in fear while giving in to say anything to be spared of this.

“Start by telling us who you are & why you came here.” Solid Snake looked at the guy in getting straight down to the most important stuff.

“Well, um….” The squad guy was a bit unsure of saying anything, but…

“I suggest you answer now, time is ticking.” Halse issued off to say this while glaring at the guy to answer fast…or else.

“Ah, yes!” The squad guy yelps in fear while responding to the threat. “We’re a part of a new secret criminal organization, Wraith.” He issued off in immediately answering the question of who they are to everyone.

“Wraith!?” Most of the others besides Solid Snake responded off in hearing this name of some organized order.

“Is that supposed to be Wrath?” Bon-Bon asked off in pondering about in terms of saying one word instead of another.

“But what’s with the ‘i’ in the word?” Lyra asked off in thinking someone made a spelling mistake?

“It stands for ‘World Rebels against Independent Truce & Harmony’, henceforth, W.R.A.I.T.H.” The squat guy explained the formation of letters that spell out a new crime organization. “I don’t have any details other than we were ordered to obtain the object by any means necessary while removing interference.” He issued off in what they were trying to do during the time.

“And just what are these interferences?” Celesta raised an eyebrow in wanting to get more out of this guy who seem to be holding something in.

“Ugh…” The squad guy looked a bit nervous in not wanting to say it, but was sweating in a tight spot.

“Either say something or your Halse’s next dinner.” Solid Snake issued this off that the guy can talk or be lunch, his choice.

“Gulp….it’s….The Mane Six…” The squad guy swallowed hard before saying the name of a group that earn much attention. “Our leader said to get them out of the way to insure they don’t interfere with the operation.” He stated in what their order was planning to do.

“So, it was you guys that sprung a surprise for them at Sugarcube Corner.” Solid Snake stated in seeing the truth has finally come out. “Where are they?” He grabs the guy in demanding more answers of those they kidnapped.

“We only drop them off to be contain, that’s all I know, I swear!” The squad guy exclaimed in having no more useful information than what he knows.

“What are the ponies you caught? Were they Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie & her lookalike, Pinkamena?” Celestia asked off in demand in feeling the taken ponies were indeed those that were reported had gone missing from the hyenas attack.

“Yes, that’s them, but we were also order to apprehend Princess Twilight, Prince Ben & the rest of the Sparkle Family in the Rainbow Kingdom, but no one can find a trace of them.” The squad guy explained doff about having taken those while having not found the Sparkle Family of where they went to.

“But still, this is terrible! They’ve taken the Council of Friendship!” Bon-Bon exclaimed in knowing this was pretty bad the Mane Five were taken.

“They even took Golden Heart’s sister, he’ll be mad when he find out.” Lyra stated how upset Golden Heart will be when he learns about this.

“Princess Celestia, if I may be bold to ask…should we gather a few warriors to help with this search & rescue?” Halse asked this off in thinking more help could be nice at this moment.

“Unfortunately, that’s impossible.” Celestia shook her head off in stating the task could not be possible.

“No surprise, Octacon just gave me the heads up, nearly all the Element Warriors from Ponyville & other locations were all gone to Stark International. But now no one’s seen what happened to them.” Solid Snake shook his head off in reporting that many allied Element Wielders the Mane Six group have come to know up till now are not around, they went to a location, but afterwards, nothing else came out of it.

“Then that means, we’re on our own.” Lyra yelps in realizing that they are on their own without strong backup.

“We’ll have to rally our group members to take this on.” Bon-Bon stated in knowing what this may call for of them.

“Snake, can you hear me?” Suddenly from Snake’s com-link, Octacon’s voice was heard that many could hear it too.

“Talk to me Octacon, you got anything?” Solid Snake spoke in the com-link in wanting any info that could be useful.

“Yes, I’ve dug up some info & I think I found a clue about Wraith’s next move.” Octacon’s voice issued off in explaining something here that would earn some attention now. “Apparently there’s been some suspicious activity in Yanhoover of where some say mysterious looking ponies dress in what you described to me matches them perfectly.” He explained in where something strange is happening in a certain area in where those that are reported match the description of the dozen mysterious ponies in the room.

“Then that’s where we’ll head for. You all ready for some new experience?” Solid Snake stated off in where to go while checking the others if the new agents are up for this.

“Yes sir!” Bon-Bon & Lyra issued off in union of being ready to partake in this.

“I’m ready.” Halse issued forth in being ready as well.

“I wish you all good luck & take care of the artifact.” Celestia stated to say this in using her magic to levitate the Spectre artifact for the group to take along.

“Yep, they can’t get what isn’t here, another unexpected twist.” Daring Do smiled off in knowing the right ropes to keep dangerous artifacts out of evil clutches, is to not leave them in one place.

So now those apart of the Monster Hunting Agency was gonna be heading on off while Celestia & Daring do see the Royal Guards detain the dozen mysterious ponies that came bring in to rob from a royal princess. The scene begins to close here while we change sceneries for a moment…

The scene begins to focus on Bon-Bon, Lyra & Halse were able to gather up the other Monster Hunting Agency members, Derpy, Time Turner, Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer, & accompanying them was also Zecora & Arsenal. They had all arrived in a town known as Yanhoover during the time of day of where it looks like it was beginning to get a little foggy. But many were trying to not let the fog bother them, as they need to find what they are looking for.

“So where exactly is this hangout for these Wraith guys?” Flash asked off in where they can find the secret crime organization at their base of operation.

“We’re still trying to figure it out.” Lyra shrug off to say that they don’t know about that yet.

“But Snake said that from what can be known, these guys are an independent organization with no connection whatsoever to the Three Lords.” Bon-Bon pointed out of what they got in knowing about the new enemy has no connections to the top three villains in Equestria.

“Seriously, they aren’t in league with the Apocalypse Ponies, the Dark Mystics, even the Grimmore Army?” Lyra asked off surprised in being stump that a new evil organization is not aiding with an evil bunch like the Three Lords of Equestria.

“They apparently aren’t connected to them or any other villains of near equal threat.” Halse stated that whoever those called Wraith are, they are working on their own.

“So are these guys new or something?” Derpy asked off a question that was on the mind for one to ponder over.

“Whoever they are, they seem to be trying to achieve something?” Arsenal exclaimed to remotely state what this Wraith bunch are up to.

“Indeed, it seems these foes seek what you told, we must make haste to understand this race.” Zecora spoke in rhyme that they need to understand what the enemy seeks & do so quickly.

“Come, are you all in position!” Octacon’s voice was heard on a com-link device that Time Turner had on to receive calls.

“We are, any luck on your end?” Time Turner spoke forth to say this while asking for something on the other end.

“I’ve sent in Snake, he’s given the clear sign that you all can get in, but advises you to be careful.” Octacon issued off to say this about what was happening so far.

“Understood, we shall not be careless.” Time Turner nods off to say this in having heard this piece of news.

“Everyone, be careful.” As Octacon spoke this, his voice hung up his end of the com-link.

Without delay, everyone was trying to continue the search until finally, they spotted a suspicious pony in the same outfit heading to a secret entrance in the walls by pressing a brick pattern. After entering, the brick wall was beginning to close until magic cause it to stop as the others were seen going near to enter it, where they found a hidden path. They continue to follow along while watching out not to be seen before arriving near some door pathway, but only one path seem safest.

“This way….there looks to be an entrance at the top that isn’t occupied.” Arsenal signal the others to follow him in seeing where they need to go; as they did, they found themselves on a second floor to where below everything was…packed.

“Wow, you sure know how to sneak into places.” Flash raised an eyebrow in seeing how good this guy was in getting interlaces.

“Trust me, I’ve been in tighter spots than this.” Arsenal rolled his eyes to remark how he’s handle such situations like these before.

“We’ll take your word for it.” Sunset replied off to say in seeing that they can expect no less from this guy.

“Shh….something’s going on.” Arsenal then held up a hoof to hush the others, as he hears something & needs them to be quiet.

“Woah, it’s a huge gathering.” Derpy exclaimed from as they snuck into an empty balcony area, they look down to see many mysterious ponies in matching getups gathered around the place while focusing on strange ponies in the center round table.

“I didn’t expect them to be this big.” Lyra stated off in not have expected such a fine here.

“Somehow these ponies are like swarms, they gather round & are deadly when form as a whole.” Zecora spoke in her rhyme of stating how this group can be dangerous when so many are gathered in one spot.

“I’ll take your word for it, but who’s that pony in the center of that table with so many members looking to him?” Bon-Bon stated to say before focusing on one strange pony by the table with some important members.

“Probably the leader.” Arsenal whispered this out to the others in seeing what this display could explain.

Everyone focuses at this point to see the main leader of Wraith. The guy was mostly in some cloak in concealing himself like the others.

“What are we going to do now?” A blue cloak pony asked off in wanting an answer.

“We need the artifact!” A red cloak pony stated in what they need as if it was dire.

“The plan cannot be completed without it!” A purple cloak pony issued to say the importance of the un-obtain artifact.

“Curses! The best time for action & it’s been put to a stop!” A yellow cloak cursed off to say this in smacking his left hoof down.

“What shall we do about this, Burns Strato Breezefield?” An orange cloak calmly asked off in wanting to know, what they shall do about this.

Everyone was paying close attention to the pony whose name was heard as they watch carefully. This Burns Strato Breezefield lowered down his hood to show face as he appeared to be a stallion from a Earth pony species. He is black furred with a short blue mane and a short blue tail. He has yellow eyes, a scar on the left side of his face, he has the symbol of a skull in a shield as a cutie mark. From anyone’s best guess, this guy was somehow acting leader for Wraith.

“For now, decipher the clues for the tome of which the artifact must be place, only then will we gain what we want. Once translated, the item is next.” Burns explained the case with considerable thought about the manner of how they are to handle things without much need of panic.

“And what about those interlopers that stopped the Hyenas & a dozen of our agents?” The blue cloak pony asked off in recalling they had something stop those they sent out.

“They are only a small handful, they are not Mystics nor Element Wielders.” Burns waved off in not being worried about the matter of those that are hardly much a threat.

“It’s true, but I think only one of them our spies said helped them was Arsenal, the Arms Stallion.” The red cloak pointed out a major problem that a well-known stallion of skill has earn the attention of who got in the way.

“He’ll be tough to beat.” The yellow cloak pony stated in knowing Arsenal is something not to be underestimated.

“For now, just suit up the best countermeasures & as for the rest….either capture them or….remove from the picture.” Burns slowly stated off in saying this about what they will do now without having the plan be delay.

“Shall we get started then?” The orange cloak pony asked off in wondering if they should start right away.

“Yes, let us start….by capturing the spies watching us!” Burns issued off to say this while his eye gaze was focusing in a direction many seem to follow.

That’s when those that were ears dropping heard that became worried as they saw Burns look towards their direction as if stating; they are spies that need to be captured here.

“He’s spotted us!” Derpy yelps in seeing that they been found out.

“Oh dear!” Time Turner lightly yelps in realizing the situation has turn for the worse.

“But how?” Sunset asked in how they were even found out.

“Worry about that later, we have company!” Halse stated to say this while narrowing his eyes in a direction.

Soon without warning, many agents of Wraith began to come around to surround the group as they were about to head for the exit.

“Capture them! They know TOO much!” One Wraith Agent issued the order for the bunch to capture the group that know too much about their plan.

“Any ideas?” Lyra asked off in what they do against this situation.

“Just one, force your way through them!” Flash issued off to say this in knowing what they will have to do.

“Well, let’s do it!” Bon-Bon stated off to say this in knowing they got no choice now.

Now without warning, the Agents of Wraith were launching themselves at the group. Bon-Bon & Lyra were using a few teamwork maneuvers, same with Timer Turner & Derpy, Zecora threw in some portions that made the bunch sneeze. Halse used his Eagle Eyes to hypnotize & freeze his opponents while Arsenal unleashed his arrows that were exploding around. During the motion, one of the agents was knocked into a wall which knocked something it had to fall on the ground, a strange red crystal that the others managed to come across.

“Ah, the Memory Crystal!” A Wraith Agent yelped in seeing that crystal slipped from his grasp & was taken by the spies.

“Sorry for the interruption, but it seems we must depart, so while we depart, we shall take this as we depart.” Zecora spoke in rhymes to say this while having obtain the Memory Crystal from the enemies.

“Hugh? What’s that mean? Gwaaugh!” The agent guy asked this before he was knocked out by Time Turner’s electric stun device.

“She means we’ll take it off your hooves.” Time Turner simply put the subject on such a case.

“You think it’s important?” Derpy asked if such an object is really that big a deal that they take it.

“It may hold answers to what these guys are up to.” Time Turner explained to Derpy of learning what they can about Wraith’s intentions.

“I’ll clear a path! Tempest Wing!” Halse issued off to say, as he started to spin around to unleash his twister wind attack.

“Waaaaughhhh!” Many Agents of Wraith yelped from being blown away by a typhoon type attack from the Armor Horus.

“God job, now let’s split!” Arsenal issued of that they get going while the getting is good.

Now the group was quickly blasting their way through the last doors before leaping off to use magic or flight to help them down while others just used skills to land as best they could. Everyone went down an alley before the rest of the Agents of Wraith showed up, but missed the targets. The leader of the bunch approach as many turn to show respect.

“We’re sorry sir, they got away.” An agent stated off to apologize in seeing the spies got away.

“Do not worry, perhaps we can take advantage of the situation.” Burns stated off to mention this about using this as an advantage point.

“Hugh?” The agent responded puzzled when he heard this.

“Follow them & keep a close eye on them.” Burns issued the order of what to do here.

The others were a bit lost by the way this conversation was turning, but nod their heads. The scene begins to go dark around now as whatever is about to happen next, many are left to wonder what will happen next…

Outside, in the far reaches in Yan Hoover, the Monster Hunting Agency’s group were in a rental hotel room in a nice safe location that wouldn’t get any prying eyes around. Right now, Time Turner was using a device to have it scan the Memory Crystal & access any information stored inside it.

“Well Time Turner, what do you make of it?” Derpy asked off in pondering here.

“I’ve run it through with Octacon, we should be getting results soon.” Time Turner issued off to mention this about what they will be getting.

“I have.” Octacon’s voice is heard at this moment.

“What do you have?” Time Turner asked off in liking to know the info of the Memory Crystal of what it holds.

“A location, I’ll fill you in on the details while deciphering the encryption.” Octacon issued off about what location the group maybe heading towards.

“Thank you.” Time Turner replied off to say before hanging up.

“So we’re off to another location? Just peachy.” Arsenal stated off i knowing this will be another long travel for them.

“Well, they never say this stuff be easy.” Bon-Bon shrug off to say this with a little sigh about handling such things.

“Makes one wonder how the Mane Six are used to it.” Lyra stated how even their friends that handle such dangers are used to it.

“In due time, we learn to adjust, for now, we must not lose out on what we must.” Zecora stated in her rhymes about them doing their own part & not lose out.

“Zecora’s right, lets head to where this location is.” Flash nods off to say this in knowing what they need to be doing next here.

“Maybe Octacon can figure out where the Mane Five & Pinkamena are from the Memory Crystal.” Sunset suggested this off, they know that Wraith has the others, but where is another question.

“Perhaps Solid Snake is digging in to find out. He is more capable of this spy stuff than most of us.” Flash stated off in knowing that Solid Snake may find out where the others are & try to do his part.

“That seems to be the most, in anyway, we must hurry.” Halse stated to say this while suggesting they get moving now.

“Yes, time waits for no one.” Time Turner nods off to say this to everyone listening.

“Is that a time joke?” Derpy asked in thinking that was a joke.

“Well, something like that.” Time Turner rubbed his cheek to say it was, something like that.

The group then begins to move out with hopes of finding out more about the artifact with them, the Spectre & learn more about what Wraith is up to. For now they have a location to go to, & so, they are off as the scene begins to fade off now. What will they encounter next, that is something yet to be seen…
