Raritys personal secret guard
Fair warning if you don't like OC's then you probably shouldn't read this...Also don't bother reading it if you have problems with grammar. Look i spent 6 days checking the grammar on this and 3 more making sure it was in first person. So please give me a break on it. Flutershy would love it if you did. I even had it looked over by two different editors on this site and they gave it the OK. So please don't freak out on the first error and immediately thumbs down it. ( like what happened with my last story ) It would be very appreciated. Thank you and have a good day...John.
Raritist Guard
Chapter one
Part one-Rarity's personal secret guard.
“But Twilight I really want to watch Jurassic Park, it’s like the best movie going.”
Spike has been begging Twilight to let him watch Jurassic Park all night and is running low on steam.
Twilight continues to fiddle with her scrolls, constantly checking and re-checking to make sure she has the correct ones. “Spike I said no. You can’t just-” *Knock,knock,knock.*
Twilight cocks her head and looks towards the door. “I wonder who that could be at this hour.” The purple unicorn proceeds to open the door with magic. Only to find a sobbing, crying sad sack of fluff that is Sweetiebell. “Oh dear are you alright?” Twilight bends down to check on the filly that she ushers inside. “Please tell me, is everything-”
Twilight gets cut off by Sweetiebell, crying and sobbing; she manages to squeak out a sentence. “Some mean ponies broke into the boutique and ponynapped my sister.” Speaking the sentence only causes the little filly to cry more.
Spikes eyes widen upon hearing this and he sinks to the ground faster than a bolt of lightning could ever strike. “NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Twilight magically shuts Spikes mouth. “Spike this is not the time!” Twilight holds Sweetiebell softly, letting her sob and bury her face in her leg. The unicorn looks towards her dragon. “Send a message to Celestia, hurry.”
Still standing there with a desperate look on his face, twilight releases the spell. His mouth now free from the incredible grip of the spell, Spike pulls out a scroll and quill. “I already know what to say Twilight; I’ve prepared a message to send should this day ever come.” Spike had his message completely planed out. Explaining everything he could in as little words as possible, to avoid taking potential rescue time away. “Done.” Spike sends off his scroll in a blaze of green fire, a fire so deep in color and passion, one would think Spike breathed out his very soul; coated with desperation and love.
*SLAM* A silver coated pony burst through the library’s front door, slamming the old wooden behemoth against the back wall. “Is everypony ok? I heard a scream.”
Spike turns to face the stallion while Twilight takes Sweetiebell to her room to calm her down. Figuring a good old fashioned novel would lull the little filly to sleep.
The silver pony points a hoof towards Twilight and Sweetiebell. “Is everything alright? Do you need me to call an ambulance?”
“NO! Nothings alright, I just found out the most beautiful pony-”
The silver pony interrupts the dragon, his eyes widen speaking in a very dire tone in absolute seriousness. “Rarity…uh,.uh, oh Celestia no.” His words contain traces of panic.
Spike’s eyes pop wide open, completely surprised by the fact that this random stranger was able to guess who he was talking about. “Uh, yeah Rarity's been ponynapped we just found out from out her sister. Iv already called the guard.”
“The guards aren’t prepared for his kind of issue!” The silver pony turns on a dime and bolts out the front door. Leaving the dragon standing there bewildered as to what just happened.
…
Ponyville Train Station.
Vector ran out the library and all the way to the train station before stopping to catch his breath.
He looks down at his hoofwatch, nothing too special just a digital watch. At least that’s what it looked like to everpony else, however if you press all the buttons at the same time the digital display will go black. Normally one would think it was broken, but not this watch for it was actually a video and audio communicator. Used only for contacting the Raritist Guard, of which Vector is a lifetime member.
Vector presses all three buttons on his watch at once and the screen goes black, but only for a second as the screen quickly changes to a list of nearby guard stallions and mares. The list goes from top to bottom in order of which members are closest to the watch. But on the very top of the list is a button that simply says. “All… This is the first time I’ve ever had to press the button, and everypony will assemble when I do *Phew* here goes.”, the All button is pressed and in ten seconds a message comes up on screen. Vector stares at his watch as the message opens. It’s a face to face call from Ruby Spark, the nearest of the guards to Vectors position.
Ruby’s call finishes loading and her bright yellow muzzle comes onto screen. Her bright naturally red eyes pierce the screen as if it was not an HD watch, but a real person in its place. “What do you want Vector? This Better not be a drill.”
Vector stops staring into Ruby’s eyes and snaps back to reality. “Uh, No this isn't a drill. I just got word from a local dragon that Rarity’s been ponynapped.”
“Seriously? A dragon told you this, how credible to you honestly think that information is?”
Vector puts on his serious face. “Very, the dragon is Twilight Sparkles personal assistant and I caught her trying to calm down Rarity's sister Sweetiebell. I asked if everypony was alright. That’s when the dragon told me, I think his name is Spike.”
“Hmm, seams legit. Ill send a squad to investigate, meet me back at the bunker.”
*Beep* Vector’s watch goes black and displays the time once more, 2:15 AM. “Huh... I swear if I wasn’t sworn to protect Rarity I would ask that pegasus out.” Vector turns around and steps onto the train which is conveniently waiting for him. Actually the lead puller was paid off and was holding the train for Vector.
…
2:45
In one minute the bunker location will be in site, the location marked by two cowponies having a campfire by some rocks. “Just remember Vector it’s only a jump from a moving train. You can do this.” *Phew* Vector breathes out a lung full of air, his jump spot is coming fast, wind rushing into his ears from the open train door. He closes his eyes and jumps. That’s all there is to it, a rush of wind hits his body followed by a motionless floating feeling. Vector opens his eyes and looks down. He is floating; thanks to a ground spell the unicorn members of the guard had placed on the jump zone. That way one could never hit ground from the train, always landing softly and gently floating down the last two inches. “Thank Luna we had that enchantment put in.”
Vector looks around briefly and notices the two stallions camping by the rocks. Just what he wanted to see, he heads over and flashes his watch to the campers, which are actually guardsmen in disguise.
The guards look up towards the watch; one of them is wearing sunglasses. They both nod and the one with shades presses a button on a nearby ground switch. The rock they’re camping near, which covers the entrance hole to base, moves away and the newly revealed hatch underneath it opens. Vector steps onto the ladder railing which leads down a dark tunnel. Grabbing both edges of the railing Vector shouts over to the guards. “Ill see you at the bottom.” Now it’s a good twenty foot ladder, but that’s nothing for a pony whose cutie mark is a small scaffolding system.
*Thud* Vector hits bottom and the sound echoes throughout the underground bunker. “Ahhh buck I hit a rock!” The pain quickly fades away. Looking down Vector picks up the rock he landed on, which has some really jagged edges and throws it aside. Now back on his hooves he shouts up the ladder shaft. “It’s clear guys.” Shortly after the two top side guards slide down.
*Thud*Thud* both guards hit bottom, but unlike Vector don't hit anything hard. The guard without the sunglasses turns to Vector. “You’re the last one, everpony else is here.”
“Really, that should be a new record for assembling time?”
The pony with the shades speaks first. “It is, but we don't have time for idle conversation we need to get to the armory and head over to the briefing room. You.” He thrusts his muzzle towards Vector. “Had better be able to explain this further I’d hate to see my Rarity violated or worse because you stalled.”
“You and me both Shades, you and me both.”
…
3:00 Raritist Guard underground bunker briefing room.
Vector is about to explain his theory as to why Rarity was captured. A crowd of guardsmen and guard mares are standing with him, in front of them all is a large circular map printed onto a mahogany round table. “Ok were going to have to approach this just like we practiced and check every possible area for thugs, street gangs and underworld crime bosses. Since the attackers were ponies from the reports…Uh they were ponies correct?”
A large sea blue Stallion, comes up from behind the table and takes a spot at the front. “Yes, according to intelligence from investigative team three they were ponies.”
Vector looks across the table at the stallion. “Thank you Eminent. Alright so Sweetiebell says there ponies, that doesn't necessarily mean that it was ponies that took her.” Vector reaches into a bag and pulls out two black figurines shaped like changelings, and places them on two spots on the map. “In light of recent events of which our precious Rarity was involved in. I would personally like to lead a team to investigate these last changeling locations. You never know, even leaderless one of them could have smartened up and taken her hostage.” Vector moves three pony figures to the first location. “Anypony else have an idea?” Many hoofs go up. “Shades what you got for me?”
The stallion from earlier moves over next to Vector, grabs an extendable push rod from under the table and slides three more pony pieces over to a spot on the map printed in dirt color. “I’d like to take a team over to check the new diamond dog mine. As we all know Rarity drove the others out of the area, but these new mines have new workers and are a little smarter than the last dogs. I think it worth checking out, does anyone agree with me?” three hooves shoot up. “Alright then go get your armor and mount up; I’ll meet you out back.” Shades turns to Vector and places a hoof on his shoulder. “I'm sorry Vector, but I just don't think some insects would be smart enough to do this.”
Vector shakes his head. “No; no it’s quite alright. Your theory presents sound logic and reasoning. Besides we need to look everywhere so im glade we’ll have that area covered.” Vector grabs the rod and slides one pony piece over to another mine and the last one to a mine near Trottingham. “Check these two also; I know they are big business and they may want our Rarity as slave labor of some sort.”
Shades nod’s his head. “Can and will do.” The stallion picks up his flail and turns towards the door.
Everpony is silent as Shades walks out the door with his partners, some ponies are saluting him as a silent wish for good luck. A three blade fan spins slowly high above the mapped table, causing a rotating shadow over both the table and other soldiers in the room. Tension is high, all the soldiers knew what happened last time they infiltrated a diamond dog mine. Nopony likes to think about it, but it remains an ever present warning about the dangers they face. A blue pony at the back end of the table by the name of Waterloo sighs. " By Celestia please let them come back unharmed."
Vector breathes out held breath as he too knows the dangers of enraged diamond dogs. He moves the pony pieces used for Shades plan back to the center of the map. “Anypony else got any ideas? Don't be shy we need to look all over until we find her.”
Marigold, a mare with lovely shimmering gold eyes comes up to the table and moves two sets of pony figures over to Manehatten. “I know this sounds far fetched, but there’s a serious problem with illegal pony trafficking over there. There are a lot of places to look so I’d need just about everyone; if that’s alright with you?”
Vector nods once more. “That’s fine I’ve been reading about that situation in Manehatten and it looks grim. I just need a team for my theory; you can take the rest of the soldiers, and if you need backup call both my and Shades teams, got it? Im being serious we can’t afford to loss any guards mares right now.”
“I know Vector, don't worry I’ll be safe, were taking the two R.A.C’s with us. Were going to need them.”
“OK, I just need two pony's for my theory. So who wants to do a little detective work with bugs?”
Eminent moves over next to Vector. “Sounds fairly easy, we run in shake them down and get out, im with you.”
“Your going to need my blades in case you and lazy bones get into a fight.” Rubyspark hovers over the table blades in hand.
“I am not lazy Miss Spark and I would like you to take that back immediately.” Eminent’s horn began to glow.
Vector jumps on top of the table, in the middle of the two arguing ponies. “OK that’s enough, we don't have time to argue, Rarity is still out there and we need to find her.” Jumping off the table vector’s silver mane swirls past Ruby’s muzzle. “Come on fellas, I’ll get the horseless carriage started.”
End of part one.
