Agent Dash
A minor setback...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was on my way to Celestia's castle under the cover of the shadows of clouds, when all of a sudden a message appeared on a cloud.
'Not this again,' I thought.
The message was just another mission. Nothing special, until I read the description.
"Agent Dash, you had been sent this message to prevent, delay, or altogether terminate this situation. The Weather Factory has been occupied by a pegasus who's name is unknown. All other Pegasi have evacuated. She is in the cloud room, destroying millions of dollars of bits worth of cumulus and other types. Stop her and neutralize her of you have to, but we have word that she is an agent of C.H.A.O.S. And we want her brung back to us A.S.A.P. We know you will not fail. Good luck."
This looked like a big message, and the plan was going to have to wait. Obviously. So I flew as fast as I could to the Weather Factory, making my way to the cloud room as stealthily as possible. The pony was gloating when I heard them, laughing, and cursing my name. Wait hold on, this pony must know me. Raspy voice, check. Competitive edge, check. I peeked around the corner. Mint coat, golden mane, and lightning cutie mark. Check, check, and check. She kept mumbling like a deranged Minotaur.
"You know only crazy ponies talk to themselves, right?", I said smirking. "Call me a hypocrite."
Lightning Dust turned around, and once she saw who it was, she got a bit mad.
"Oh, it's you", she said.
"So I see you work for C.H.A.O.S now," I mentioned casually.
"Yeah," she said, "what's it to ya Rainbow Crash?", she added.
"That nickname was ages ago? How did you ever hear of it?", I asked intently.
"Does it matter?", Lightning taunted. "You are and always will be Rainbow Crash."
"My name is Agent Dash.", I said calmly. "Rainbow Dash is my old name. Here in the biz, the name is Agent Dash. I take it your name is Agent Dust?"
"Hehe. We're not that stereotypical in C.H.A.O.S.", Lightning Dust laughed darkly. "My name is Lightning Dust, and that's how it always will be."
"Well you could change it, Agent Dust does give a bit more of a climactic feel. I mean, Tartarus, if your name is Agent Dust, you must be as powerful as well, dust. How intimidating.", Rainbow teased.
Lightning Dust looked as if Rainbow was getting on her nerves. Two could play at that game, she decided.
"Are you really fighting for your friends, are you really staying loyal to them?", Lightning asked.
"Yes.", Rainbow answered.
"You want Equestria, yet you can't bring yourself to hit me?", Lightning taunted.
"Oh I just don't wanna hurt you.", Rainbow said, smirking.
"What is wrong with you? You know you want to join with C.H.A.O.S. What's stopping you? Don't try to deny it. We'll get you in the end. And you know it. Face it Rainbow, lately H.A.R.M.O.N.Y has been having some bad days. Don't you wanna be on the winning side?", Lightning asked.
" I made a promise a long time ago to stay loyal, and I won't break it. I refuse to leave my friends and organization to entertain your petty idea of a thief overridden, killer infested world!", Rainbow yelled.
"Oh really? Then what's stopping you from doing something about it? Huh, Rainbow Crash? You afraid C.H.A.O.S will kick H.A.R.M.O.N.Y's sorry flank?", Lightning Dust asked cockily, smirking.
"Nope, not one bit.", Rainbow said.
Lightning's smirk disappeared as she saw she wasn't getting a reaction out of Rainbow.
"And nothing's stopping me," Rainbow said, flying toward Lightning Dust, until they were muzzle to muzzle. "See", Rainbow said. And then she turned around and bucked Lightning in the face.
Lightning stumbled back, biting her tongue, to keep from screaming.
"You want C.H.A.O.S to win? Nuh uh. That's not how this game works blondie. You gotta fight for what you believe in, and right now, it's fair to say that harmony is winning.", Rainbow said, smirking.
Lightning charged at Rainbow, but Rainbow dodged at the last second so Lightning crashed into a storm cloud. Frazzled, and electrocuted, Lightning charged Rainbow again. Rainbow dodged again. Lightning got electrocuted again. Lightning was getting fed up. Finally, when Lightning tried charging Rainbow for the last time, Rainbow flew up and wrapped her forelegs around Lightning's neck. She kept squeezing.
"Chaos is not the way.", Rainbow tried to tell Lightning.
Lightning choked out a, "chaos is the only way.", and Rainbow Dash squeezed her legs around Lightning's neck until she lost consciousness.
Then Agent Dash picked up the enemy agent in her arms, and flew her back to the organization.
