Pony Fantasy X-2

The singer waved to her fans as the lights dimmed down from blindingly bright to tolerably bright, ready to give her audience more of what they wanted. Before the music could start playing, the two ponies spying on her leapt down from their platform and landed in front of the yellow pegasus and her two backup dancers. They brandished their weapons at her, surprising the crowd, none of them knowing if this was part of the show or not.

"Alright, you've been a pain in our backsides for long enough!" the pink earth pony mare said. "Give back what you took from us!"

The performer scoffed, waving her hoof to her backup dancers to step forward. "Boys, let's show these two deviants not to interrupt a show when it's just getting started."

The stallions stood before the mare, their bodies illuminated by a green glow as they changed into a similar outfit to the security guards, only a different color than how the Luca stadium's security were. It was the exact same outfit, where the guards weren't Luca's security team. They were imposters.

"You know, your little groupies should learn to wear a better disguise, otherwise we'll know who to take down," the unicorn stallion said, brushing back some of his wild mane out of his face as his aura lazily held his sword. "And get some stronger ponies to protect you!"

The two ponies attacked the performers, quickly dealing with the  "dancers" with no problem. The pink mare even managed to swipe away some items hidden in their pockets, which happened to be terrible light effect grenades.

"Seriously!? The grenades are crap!" she shouted. "I stole better ones from fiends in the past! And they look even better!"

Though the pegasus's guards were knocked unconscious, she wasn't all that deterred as she held the microphone to her muzzle. "Sorry, everypony! I'm sad to say this concert is ending on a low note! Good afternoon, Luca!"

She then pulled out a grenade from her clothing and threw it to the ground, emitting a blinding flash that lit up the whole stadium. While the audience was blinded, the ponies pursuing the singer quickly pulled out protective sunglasses. They chased after her, the pegasus laughing as she fled down to the harbor, escaping down to the docks. As soon as the two exited the arena, the pink mare skid across the ground, though a little too far as she almost slipped off the edge and fell in the water.

"Stop horsing around! She's getting away!" the stallion shouted, grabbing the mare with his magic and pulling her away from the side.

"Somepony waxed the docks! Who does that!? You do that for surfboards and the decks of the ship!" As the mare complained, they wound up getting ambushed by more of the pegasus singer's guards, though these were female and wore a different colored uniform.

The stallion clashed his blade with one of their knives, both ponies pushing each other back. "You know, my mom always taught me not to hit a pretty mare...But since I can't see your face, I'll have to make an exception!"

The two quickly rid themselves of the ambushing group, the stallion slashing at them with his sword, while the mare used her twin daggers to cut her opponents. With their outfits, their weapons don't kill unless whoever they fight is actually dangerous, like fiends. So instead of hacking them to pieces, they feel like they're getting punched repeatedly until they fall unconscious. With today being the first couple years of Spira's new, peaceful world, they wanted to lower the death count drastically from a thousand years of Sin's destruction.

As they ran across the docks, the two pursuers lost sight of the pegasus as they reached the third dock, the same docks used for VIPs and celebrities to arrive in. "Great. We lost her."

"She's too fast!" the mare exclaimed.

"No. It's just that you're too slow." The two quickly turned around to see somepony appear in the direction they were coming from.

"You won't get our boss that easily," another voice said as he appeared down the direction the singer disappeared down.

The stallion and mare backed away from the two stallions approaching them, holding their weapons as they faced the mare's elite of her bodyguards. "The FlimFlam Brothers. Of course," the unicorn grumbled.

Both stallions backing them up were Flim and Flam, twin unicorn stallions with the same yellow coats and red and white manes. Though they looked the same, wearing matching blue robes and hats, they had some differences to distinguish them. Flim was the younger brother, his face clean of any facial hair as he held a large shield, while Flam was the eldest of the two with a red moustache, wielding a pair of revolvers.

Before the twins could attack, they were attacked from behind as bullets shot out from somepony near their hooves. The stallions yelped and hopped around as they avoided the wild bullets, Flim hopping into Flam's forelegs as the last of the barrage stopped. All four ponies looked in the direction of the attack, the pink mare and black unicorn stallion grinning at their savior.

"About time you finally showed up!" the earth pony said.

Standing behind the twins, holding two pistols that expelled steam from the barrels of the guns in her yellow wings, was the same mare that they were pursueing, only she was wearing a different outfit. She now wore a white tank top with a pair of blue denim shorts, a blue and white sash hanging around her left hip and reaching the ankle of her hind hooves. Smirking, she unloaded her guns' empty clips, the magazines disappearing in a flash of light as two more appeared in her hooves, quickly reloading them with a resounding click.

With her reloaded guns ready, the pegasus ran toward the twins and leapt over them, grabbing her pistols in her hooves as she flipped them with a hard flap of her wings. She fired another barrage of bullets down on them, Flim and Flam scattering before they could get hit by the raining bullets. Unloading her mags, she reloaded as she landed between them, crouching low with her weapons aimed at the twin unicorns.

"Gullwings, sound off!" the pegasus said, crossing her forelegs with her pistols held sideways. "Fluttershy!"

The pink earth pony mare twirled her daggers in her hooves as she stood on her hind legs on Fluttershy's right, posing with her weapons parallel to her forelegs with a big grin on her muzzle. "Pinkie Pie!"

The unicorn stallion stood on Fluttershy's left, dragging his blade across the ground until he grabbed the hilt with his hooves, bringing his sword up in a defensive stance. "Sombra!"

"Gullwings are a go!" the trio cheered as they moved into battle formation, staring down the annoyed brothers.

"Alright, no more making fools of the FlimFlam Brothers!" Flam loaded up his revolvers' chambers with bullets, flicking the barrels closed.

Flam and Fluttershy aimed their firearms at each other, both sides shooting bullets as each opposing shot deflected each other's trajectory. The pegasus swiftly dodged any oncoming shots that approached her with incredible flexibility. Luckily for her, her guns have a bigger clip size than Flam's six chamber rounds, only needing to reload less as likely as the revolver-toting unicorn, having to reload his chambers manually and slowly. As he was wide open to attack, Fluttershy fired some more, only for Flim to leap in and protect his twin with his shield.

Sombra and Pinkie ran forward and slashed with their weapons, their blows connecting with Flim's shield and forcing the stallion to be pushed back by Sombra's power and Pinkie's swift movements. Pinkie leapt over the shield and wound up behind them, tip toeing up to them as they were distracted by Sombra's blade slamming into the shield.

"I'll be taking those precious goodies of yours!" she announced as she reached a hoof behind the twins. Only, instead of treasures or useful gear, she managed to pull both of the stallions' briefs from underneath their clothing, littered with apples patterned along the white undergarments. Completely oblivious to what she took, Fluttershy blushed heavily and hid her face under her wings while Sombra's eye twitched with a shocked expression on his face. "...What?"

"I feel a draft," Flim said as both he and Flam looked behind them, eyes widening at the sight of their underwear somehow snatched out from under their robes and held in Pinkie's hooves. "GAH!"

"How the hay did you take those!?" Flam asked, just as freaked out as his brother.

Curious, she looked at her hooves, her face turning pale. "Eww! That's not what I wanted!"

She quickly thrust the underwear at the twins, somehow putting them back on them and snatching her real prize. "...How the hay did she do that!?" the twins both asked.

"Don't question my logic," Pinkie said, leaping on their backs and slamming their heads together, knocking them in a daze.

"Whatever you stole, I suggest sanitizing your hooves before you even give anypony a hoof bump," Sombra groaned. "And what logic do you have when you defy every bit of it?"

"The less you ask, Sombra, the more you'll know," Pinkie simply stated, though it only confused the stallion.

"...That makes no sense," he said, blankly staring at the random earth pony.

"This is why I never send a stallion to do a mare's job. Or in this case, two stallion look-alikes." The trio turned to face the other Fluttershy, the real impostor. The faker kicked both stallions awake, leering at them with disdain at their failure. Though the pegasi looked similar, the one pretending to be the real Fluttershy's voice sounded different. "You three never give up, do you?"

"Chrysalis," Fluttershy growled. "Give me back my Garment Grid!"

"...Fine. It's not a good one, anyway." The imposter threw a small slate at Fluttershy, the pegasus catching it with her hoof, making sure everything wasn't altered by the thief. "It won't be yours for much longer, though."

Chrysalis chuckled, pulling out a large fan and was holding it in a green aura. Opening it up, it concealed her face as her body emitted a green glow, her outfit changing into a dark black-pink robe, her coat changing from yellow to black. She moved her fan away, revealing her dark coated face and dark green mane, the pony actually a unicorn, not a pegasus.

"You're gonna pay for pretending to be my cousin!" Pinkie shouted. "Fluttershy, let's show her how you really use that dressphere!"

Fluttershy nodded as her Garment Grid began glowing in her pocket, a light shining around the pegasus as she dropped her guns into the void of light glowing beneath her. As her clothing glowed, they began to shift in form, turning into the same outfit Chrysalis wore while her magic disguised herself as the pegasus. Fluttershy grabbed the microphone as it appeared in a small flash above her, standing on her hind legs as her body began dancing to a tune only she could hear. She began to sing a song, her vocals echoing around the six ponies, and as they reached her opponents, a dark haze fell over Flim, Flam, and Chrysalis.

"AHH! I can't see!" Flim shouted.

"She blinded us!" Flam added, trying to look around while aiming his revolvers at them.

"Pinkie, let's take them out while they can't see!" Sombra announced, the pink mare nodding as the two attackers rushed in at them.

Sombra slashed Flim, Pinkie thrust her daggers into Flam, and together, they struck Chrysalis, sending the unicorn flying back into the walls of the stadium. With the mare knocked for a loop, the trio won their fight against the thief and her henchponies, Flim and Flam getting up first as they carried their unconscious leader on their backs.

"You'll pay for this, Gullwings!" the twins shouted as they ran off with the dazed mare down the docks.

"Whoo hoo! We won! High hoof, everypony!" Pinkie cheered, holding up a hoof to Sombra.

"I am not touching your hoof after you pulled out their underwear." Pinkie slowly lowered her hoof, her grin turning into a pout as she leered at the stallion.

"You need to be more enthusiastic. Right, Fluttershy?" Both ponies turned to the pegasus, though she couldn't seem to answer as she continued dancing. She was trying desperately to stop, but her body didn't seem to listen to her as she began panting exhaustively. "Uhh, Fluttershy? Our victory poses are supposed to end after a couple seconds, not a minute of a celebratory jig."

"I-I can't stop dancing!" Fluttershy shouted. "I-It's like my body has a mind of its own! Help me!"

"Change out of your dressphere, then," Sombra said.

"I'm trying!" After a few minutes of trying to reach her Garment Grid, she finally got out of the dressphere and reverted to her earlier clothing, her pistols returning to her hooves. Breathing a sigh of relief, Fluttershy collapsed on the docks, panting heavily as her weapons disappeared in a flash of light. "T-Thank...goodness..."

Pinkie's and Sombra's weapons faded into a light as well, helping the tired pegasus back up on her hooves. While Fluttershy had time to breathe, they heard the sound of an airship flying in, pulling up to the docks. It was different in design to the other airship Fluttershy and Pinkie flew in a couple years ago, colored red and a bit more advanced than the first one.

"There's Cheesie and Maud with the Celsius!" Pinkie announced, waving the airship down closer to the docks they were on. "I'd say this mission was a success!"

"Wait until I tell your coltfriend you dug around two other stallions' underwear while 'stealing' their 'goodies," Sombra snickered, earning a glare from the earth pony.

"Don't you dare, or I'll fire you out of my party cannon, oui zang!" Pinkie shouted, yelling the last words in Al Bhed.

"Drah E'mm damm res eh Al Bhed." Pinkie growled, understanding the stallion's fluent Al Bhed, though leaving Fluttershy out of the loop as she sighed.

"I wish I knew how to speak Al Bhed," she uttered as the Celsius stopped by the dock, floating above the surface of the water.
