Goldenpie

Starlight Glimmer gasped and flung her eyes wide open. The cold water that woke her dripped down from her mane and tore chilling lines down her hooves. There were a chiming sound behind her. Starlight flung her head around and saw that she had been fastened in chains. The room she were in was dark and empty. Starlight felt her head being heavier that usual. She looked up and found that some kind of device had been placed over her horn.

“Confess!” A familiar female voice demanded. Starlight shook from the cold. She wailed her eyeballs around. Xenia Onatopp had her red lipstick only inches away from her.

“Confess!”

Despite Xenia's exclaiming she didn’t seem angry at all. She smiled in pleasure as she seemed to enjoy every second of whatever she was doing. Starlight managed to growl despite her being scared.

“What have you done to Pinkie Pie?!”

Xenia's face dropped in a display of disappointment. She stepped back and grabbed her whip. She flung her arm around. Starlight closed her eyes and screamed in pain once the whip burned her stomach. Xenia looked at Starlight with dreamy eyes.

“That scream reminds me of someone.” Xenia said like to a lover. She bent her head sideways like an owl.

“Would you like to know what Trixie confessed?”

Starlight felt the anger overflow her every being. She shook the chains of which she had been fastened. She tried to use her horn but for whatever reason it had been rendered powerless.

“Well that magic of yours won't help you my little pony.” Xenia teased while lowering her lips in a display of sadness. She walked around Starlight and laid her hand on her hoof.

“It’s a shame. I never really had the chance to make my own magic with that cute little friend of yours. She was soooooo beautiful with that blue magician robe.” Xenia placed her hand over Starlights head and forced her too look into her eyes. “I can't imagine how beautiful it must have been once i painted it violet.”

Starlight Glimmers roaring could be heard echoing throughout the entire blimp. This was exactly what Xenia had been waiting for. She felt the excitement boil up inside her along with Starlights anger. Xenia leaned forward and kissed the raging unicorn on the mouth. She moaned in pleasure as she felt Starlight become even angrier.

“Wahahahahaha. Yes... Yes! Yes!!! YES!!!” Xenia moaned while smearing her human lips all over Starlights furious face.

Back in Equestria the movie goers were in a state of returning their purchase to the rental store. Twilight had galloped out to the balcony and made vomiting sounds over the railing. In the corner of the living room Peter Dinklage and Ash Ketchum were doing the same thing. Being neither pony nor human Pikachu and Littlefoot stared blankly at the TV screen like they were watching some kind of weird sexual fantasy put on film, starring only aliens.

There were the sound of a steel door opening inside the movie.

“That’s enough Xenia.” Alec Trevelyan walked into the holding cell. Xenia glared back at him like an angrily lion.

“Get out of here!” Alec ordered.

Xenia faced Starlight again.

“We’ll have plenty of time later, my little pony.”

Xenia turned around and walked out of the holding cell. The door closed behind her. Starlights anger remained.

“You. I trusted you! I TRUSTED YOU!”

Alec looked at Starlight with an open mouth. He answered with a tinge of incredulous in his voice.

“Trust? What a quaint idea.”

Alec walked around Starlight. He brought out a key. He opened the chains that held Starlights front hooves.

“Don’t want you to catch a cold now, do we?”

Once loosened Starlight galloped enraged toward Alec. She didn’t mind the pain once the chains around her neck and hind hooves stopped her dead in her tracks.

“Why?!” She growled, the chains chiming behind her. Alec laughed.

“Why? Did you ever asked why? Why we toppled all those dictators, undermined all those regimes? Only to come home ‘Well done, good job but sorry old boy. Everything you risked your life and limb for has changed.”

Starlight glared into Alecs eyes. His eyes seemed to swim in some kind of cloudy fantasy.

“It was the job we were chosen for.” Starlight said firmly.

“Of course you’d say that, and what a funny little coincidence that your pink friend said the same thing. Pinkie Pie, Her majesty’s loyal terrier, defender of the so called ‘faith’.”

Alec reached down into his pockets. He brought out Pinkie Pies Q watch. He compared it with his own Q watch of which he still owned.

“Ah, a new model.” He showed the front display to Starlight. “Still press here, do i?” Alec pressed the left button and disabled the bombs that Starlight and Pinkie Pie had planted on some fuel tanks earlier.

Starlight felt her last hope of ever seeing her Ponyville friends again slip away. Her angry face twisted into a tinge of pleading.

“Don’t give me that look. It’s insulting to think i haven't anticipated your every move.”

“Yes.” Starlight admitted with a cracked voice. “I trusted you Alec.”

“Trust can be misplaced. My parents trusted the British government. ‘A Conference’ they told my parents they would go to. ‘I assure you, on my word of honor as a British officer, that you are just going to a conference’ one of them said.”

Starlight snorting now filled the holding cell.

“I trusted you...” She repeated weakly.

“Oh yes. ‘I trusted you’, thats the way you feel now Starlight...” Alec then went on rant.

“...Can you imagine how my parents felt once those same British officers beat them to the ground with their guns and threw them into trucks like sacks of potatoes? Can you imagine how they felt once they were forced out again, only to be handed over and thrown into Soviet trucks instead? Can you imagine how they felt Starlight when they spent weeks inside a cold Soviet prison, thinking about what their ‘Trust’ meant to the British?”

Starlights angry eyes glimmered in sadness as Alec ranted.

“Can you imagine how they felt once they survived all of this only to spend the rest of their lives in regret. Can you imagine the shame Starlight? The shame that lead my father to make that final decision? MI6 figured i was to young to remember. And in one of life little ironies the son went to work for the government who's betrayal cased his father to take his own life along with his wife.”

“I considered you a friend.” Starlight cried.

“Friendship? Friendship is a vanity.”

Starlight shook her angry face in disbelief. She had no idea what Alec meant by that.

Alec turned around and walked toward the exit. He stopped and turned the unscarred side of his face toward Starlight.

“You will be called to face Ourumov soon. You will then confess of being a terrorist that seek to overthrow the president of The New Kingdom. If you do so i have convinced Ourumov to not kill you. As a friend that is the last thing I’m able to give you.”

Starlight squinted her angry eyes.

“You are not my friend.”

‘Friend’. The word seemed to echo between Starlight and Alec. Alec shook his head, as if he was trying to shake a memory.

“I’ll give you time to think about it.” He said and walked out.

The moment Pinkie Pie opened her eyes she knew she was in a prison. Her back and front hooves had been fastened to the wall by chains. She growled as her back hurt by being in this uncomfortable position. She tried to reach her Q watch with her hoof when she suddenly realized that it had been taken. So much for the bomb plan. It was now that Pinkie Pies thoughts went to her ponyville friends and...

‘Starlight!’

Pinkie Pie knew that she herself would surely be executed. But what would become of her friends? If she died wouldn’t they be stuck inside this movie for the rest of their lives? As she thought about this a dark panic started to rise within her. Her highly pitched gasps echoed inside the holding cell as she tried to break the chains. Suddenly there were the sound of a steel door opening. The moment Pinkie Pie heard the long decisive steps she knew who it was. She growled.

General Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov and soon to be president of The New Kingdom did not bother to glance inside the bullet proof glass as he walked along the special holding cell. He stopped in front of the control panel, pressed a button and spoke his name.

“General Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov”

The glass door leading into the cell opened. Ourumov stepped inside. He looked straight above Pinkie Pie as he approached her, avoiding eye contact like you always do with a overly enthusiastic dog. Pinkie Pies curly mane hanged straight down at the sides of her face. Her mood speared the air like her voice.

“Ourumov. I should have known that you would want to come here and show of your high horse!”

Pinkie Pie turns her head to the reader and speaks to you, annoyingly breaking the immersion that I've built up. *Which is unfair by the way! Ponies can be JUST AS HIGH!*

“You certainly have high thoughts about yourself Pinkie Pie, high like your annoying voice.”

Ourumov started breathing heavily, as if he was trying to control his emotions.

”You...Have...Really...Made me angry pink pony. I congratulate you on that, not many people can anger Ourumov without him wanting to be angry.”

“Who should really be angry are the Russians. What makes you think they are just going to accept you as their leader like that?” Pinkie Pie asked incredulously.

“Men will follow the highest cause. All your government is doing is to hold people down. I will give them something to strive for!”

This sent Pinkie Pie into a long rant of incredulous.

“How!? By using the Goldeneye? ...By frying every hospital within thirty miles from Moscow, hospitals that need electricity to run their life support for their patients? ...By frying every alarm system inside the fire departments that they need to respond to fires? ...By frying every phone line that the Russian civilians need to contact their loved ones when they’re in danger? ...By shutting down Russia's entire economy when every investor gets electronically stranded? Do you have any idea what damage the Goldeneye satellite will cause Ourumov!? You want to be president, president of what? A burning city!?”

Ourumov now looked Pinkie Pie in the eyes for the first time since he killed Mishkin.

“No revolution have come without people dying. Despite, i will create order. People like Valentin have been festering my streets long enough. Getting rid of him was just the start, soon the Russian people will know who their real benefactor is.”

Pinkie Pie grumped. Ourumovs intentions seemed clear to her. But one good question still remained.

“But why me?”

“Why you?”

“Why do you hate me? I’m just a party planner that happens to have employment as an agent. I only follow orders.”

Suddenly Ourumov felt that feeling again. The same feeling that he felt when he first heard about the ponies from Xenia after he stole the Goldeneye from Severnaya. It was almost like that one moment was a turning point in space and time, like if all that he was about to say right here, inside this very prison cell, would have been completely different if he hadn’t heard about them. A crazy passive aggressive smile festered on Ourumovs face.

“You are... You are.” He drooled. “But why did you...? Why...?”

Pinkie Pie closed her eyes. She was getting ready to turn out like that poster he had on her.

“Why did you force me to buy a cake for Dimitri Mishkin?!”

Pinkie Pie raised her pink head in bewilderment.

“Huh!” She blurted.

“It was small, i know, but it was all they had left! That darn pastry shop had a two our waiting line! Can you imagine, Pinkie Pie, how i felt after sweating inside that small condensed cafeteria in two hours!?”

Slowly Pinkie Pies hanging being-in-a-prison-cell-about-to-be-tortured-and-executed mouth rose, revealing her pearly white teeth one by one. Ourumov continued.

“All he wanted was a ‘birthday cake’. A birthday cake! It was not even his darn birthday and he ask that i get him a birthday cake. Who says a small pastry like the one i brought him can't be a birthday cake? Who says Pinkie Pie? Who says!?”

There were a sudden a blast of confetti popping, at the same time Pinkie Pies hanging mane puffed up into a pink fluffy cloud over her head. Her party smile widened.

“Well that depends. Is it the birthday of Us Moving In To Our New House, the birthday of Us Believing It Was Our Birthday, or the birthday of The Time Our Birthday Was All Just A Small Cake? Unless it’s the Birthday for your pet, in which case it’s tooooootally not ok, unless it was for him, in that case all we need to do us turn on the oven, throw in some unbaked cupcakes and let the ooze handle the rest!” Pinkie Pies party smile contrasted the dark cell.

“All those nights... All those nightmares i had. Why couldn’t you just be a secret agent that kills my men, blows up my blimp and ruins my evil plans for world domination? Why do you have to be a party pony? Why, Pinkie, Why!?”

Ourumov took a deep breath and pulled himself together. He stretched up and looked away from the smiling party pony.

“Well. Soon all that will be a time belonging to the old world.”

Ourumov turned around. He walked toward the exit.

“Now. I am about to have a hearing with your friend Starlight Glimmer. I heard that she had something she wanted to confess.”

Pinkie Pies mane lowered again as her thoughts went to Starlights fate. She had a bad feeling about the way Ourumov said the word ‘confess’.

Ourumov proceeded walking toward the bridge. He had decided to give in to Alecs plea and give the unicorn a chance. If she confessed of being a terrorist he would let her live, just like he had promised Alec. But Ourumov had a feeling that Starlight Glimmer would wish herself being dead once he had tortured her for hours and paraded her in front of his men. Soon the entire vessel would know the cost of crossing General Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov.

Starlight felt a cutting pain. She gasped and fell down to her hooves after the escorting soldier slammed her with the rear of his rifle. Her horn device still hindered her from using magic. Starlight looked up and spotted Alec Trevelyan, who looked away as her bitter eyes tried to reach his. Another door opened beside Alec. Two of Ourumovs elite guards entered the room before the general himself Hitlered inside. Starlights anger did not delay.

“Ourumov. Do you have any idea how much damage you and your satellite are about to cause!?”

“I have just spoken to your pink friend. She have already failed to appeal to my soft side and can assure you that you will fail also Starlight Glimmer.” The generals decisive voice hammered everything Starlight had to say to the ground. He continued.

“Now. I have been told by my peoples leader that you are indeed a fine pony so i am going to give you a chance. You were caught planting a bomb here at this vessel. This along with the fact that nothing you have said so far points to any other reason of you being here leads me to believe that you are indeed a terrorist. But since i am a fair man i am going to give you a chance to respond. Now, did you have something you wanted to say?”

Starlight Glimmer took a deep breath. She had decided to swallow her pride and confess to her crimes. At least then she might be given some time to figure out a plan.

“I have decided, after everything that iv’e done, that i want to reprimand of my crimes.”

“So you confess?” Alec asked and looked at her.

Starlight opened her mouth to deliver her planned response. Suddenly she was hit with an image, an image of a blue head with a white mane. The blue head smiled at her as she spoke to her over the rumble of a moving train.

‘We have been through so much together, just like James Bond and Alec have. Together we can find another way back to Equestria.’ Trixies smile warmed Starlights heart as it projected inside her head.

“...Yes. I confess.” Starlight said and looked straight at Alec.

“You confess of being a terrorist?” Ourumov asked firmly. Starlight kept her eyes on Alec.

“I confess that i wanted it Alec, on the train.”

“The train?” Alec was interested.

“On the Trans Siberian Express, Trixie made a show for you. She showed you images of unicorns of different colors along with earth ponies and pegasus ponies.”

Alec lit up

“Oh yes, i remember that.”

“The show centered around the earth ponies betraying the unicorns under the cover of loyalty before handing them over to the pegasus. Now, I still haven't told you were i come from Alec. I come from a another world called Equestria.”

“Oh yes. Trixie told me about your world.” Alec said. Alec felt a tinge in his heart, like something was awakening inside him. But why?

“Yes. But what you didn’t know was that we thought that the only way for us to get back to Equestria was to make YOU forget.”

“Forget? About What?”

Starlights voice cracked as she said his name.

“James Bond!” Starlight started sobbing.

“James Bond?”

“That unicorn show...h...h... was only put up to remind you...h...h... of what happened to your family, to remind you what your father did you your mother...h...h”

The tears poured down the unicorns face. Ourumov looked nervously around the room.

“It was only set up....h...h....To make you forget what was really important to you....h...h, the times you had with James Bond. Pinkie Pie didn’t want to do it but i confess...h...h... I confess Alec! I wanted it! I wanted to break your friendship and i’m sorry, i’m so so sorry! Alec. I beg of you to forgive me! FORGIVE ME ALEC!!!” Starlight wailed.

Ourumov made a motion with his shaking hand. Starlights crying was abruptly cut when the escorting soldier smacked her over the head so hard that she passed out.

“Well, I guess she needed more time to think about it after all.” Ourumov said and looked at Alec. Alec starred blankly down at the ruffled up unicorn.

“Alec?”

Alec didn’t react. Ourumov walked up to him and laid both his hands over his shoulders.

“You and i have a job to do. Now is not the time to get distracted again.”

“Distracted? From what? Revenge?” Alec looked up at Ourumov. Ourumov opened his mouth to do what he had always done with Alec. The circumstances caused Ourumovs mouth to jam.

“What is it Ourumov? Are you going to ‘remind’ me?” Alec asked.

Ourumov relaxed. He shook his head and continued talking calmly.

“No Alec, i won't remind you. Although i will point out what i’ve told you about those vanities of yours.”

“Vanities? That’s not good, is it?” Alec asked.

Ourumov shook his head again and smiled. “No Alec, it isn’t.”

“Well. I guess if that ‘vanity’ ever comes around again...”

Alec looked at passed out Starlight on the ground, then at Ourumov with hardened eyes.

“...We’ll smack her over the head again while she's crying.” Alecs sarcasm tore a hole right through Ourumovs manipulation attempt. Ourumov gulped. He removed his hands from Alec. Ourumovs eyes gained a dark core as anger seemed to engulf him. He turned around and rapidly left the room.

Back in Equestria Twilight felt her stomach drop. She knew where he was going.

“Oh no!” Littlefoot wailed. Peter Dinklage was angry.

“The original Goldeneye is shaping up to be the Teletubbies compared to this! Someone must du something!”

Ash Ketchum raised his arms in bewilderment.

“What’s going on?!”

Pinkie Pie heard the steel door slam open as she had her head turned down. Once she raised it Ourumov had already walked through the glass corridor and was right in front of her. He smacked her over the head. The hit cause her ears to start ringing.

Ourumov pulled out a pistol and aimed it straight at Pinkie Pie.

“CONFESS!” Roared.

All Pinkie Pie could see was the stone floor while she had her face turned down. Her head was suddenly thrown sideways when Ourumov slammed his pistol at her. The world went blurry once her brain reacted to the trauma.

“CONFESS!”

Despite Ourumovs shouting his words sounded blurry to Pinkie Pie. The pain had just started to bite when Ourumov suddenly struck her again. She watched the stone floor as her own blood dripped down on it.

“CONFESS!"

Ourumov slammed the pink pony with his pistol over and over again. It’s handle was now stained with blood. His mind, numb with rage, kept on blasting.

“CONFESS!”

Pinkie Pie thought she was hit again, but they barely felt like hits anymore. Pinkie Pie was sure that this was her last moment in life. She used it to speak the things that meant the most to her.

“Apple Jack...” She mumbled.

“CONFESS!” Ourumov hit her again.

“Rarity...

“CONFESS!”

Rainbow Dash...

“I said CONFESS!”

“Fluttershy...”

Ourumov angry eyes riveted at Pinkie Pie. It was like his one tracked reptile mind only knew one phrase.

“CONFESS!”

“Twilight...”

“Twilight? Who the heck is Twilight?!”

“I am.” A voice answered firmly.

Ourumov felt himself freeze in place. He felt fear grab hold of him along with gravity itself as he suddenly rose into the air.

“Whats this? What is happening?!” He wailed.

Out from the shadows of the holding cell came a sparkling lavender light. The sound of hooves hitting stone floor accompanied it as it slowly closed in, eventually revealing a lavender unicorn with a blue and violet streaked mane, her face twisted in anger, her eyes glaring at him. Ourumov gasped when the unicorn suddenly spread out two wings, making her three times bigger. She spoke firm words.

“I am not usually an alicorn princess that commit myself of using brute force but YOU Ourumov have caused my girls suffering for the last time!” Twilight snarled.

Ourumov tried to raise his gun. He slowly managed. The gun was almost pointing at the alicorn when it suddenly disappeared from his hand and reappeared on the stone floor. His sweaty head reflected the angry face of the one and only.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle and i am SHUTTING THIS MOVIE DOWN!”

Twilight saw something move in the corner of her angry eye. A soldier came running on the other side of the bullet proof glass. He raised his assault rifle and leaned around the corner into the holding cell. Twilight released Ourumov and put up a protection spell around herself and Pinkie Pie. The bullets bounced all over the place. The soldier screamed when he was hit in the leg.

Ourumovs was running toward the exit when his arm was hit by a stray bullet. He was bleeding from it once he escaped the area. The soldier raised his gun again but became a military museum exhibition once Twilight used her alicorn magic and trapped him inside a lavender crystal.

Pinkie Pie opened her eyes. Her head was thumping as she slowly regained sight.

“Pinkie Pie...” She heard Twilight say. Pinkie Pie was sure she was dead. But the face that her eyes slowly adjusted to was not a heavenly sparkle. Pinkie Pies eyes filled with tears of joy.

“Twilight!” She cried and wrapped her pink hooves around the alicorn that she hadn’t seen for over a year. “Twilight. How glad i am to see you! We need to stop Ourumov.” Pinkie Pie said. This caused Twilights anger to change target.

“No Pinkie Pie! We need to get you and all of our friends to safety. I don’t care how long we have to spend living inside this movie, i am done watching you girls suffer.”

“But the people inside will suffer if we don’t do something about him.” Pinkie Pie pointed out firmly. Twilight quickly realized that it would be useless to try and talk MI6 agent Pinkie Pie out of doing something about Ourumov. She sighed.

“I’ll see what i can do, maybe we can fry that control panel. But from now on the main objective is to find Starlight and get you both out of here.”

“Or follow the general. We let him lead us to Alec and Starlight, then we can rescue Starlight and bring both culprits to justice in one swoop.” Pinkie Pie said diplomatically. Out of time Twilight decided to go with it.

“Well, then there’s no time to lose!” She exclaimed

As the ponies galloped out of the prison Twilights horn lit up.

”Rarity?” She transmitted. Rarity responded.

“Twilight! How glad i am that you called.”

“Rarity. I am inside the movie now. I’m going to try and get Pinkie Pie and Starlight out of here. What’s your status?”

“Not good. Thankfully everypony is alive but we are currently surrounded by Ourumovs soldiers and Alecs rebels. Who knows when they decide to attack us again?”

“How long before the...”

“Twilight!” Pinkie Pie shouted and pushed Twilight down to the floor. Three bullets sailed passed them both before Pinkie Pie used Ourumovs pistol and dropped two soldiers down the hallway. At the same time the alarm went of.

“...How long before the satellite fires?!” Twilight asked.

“8 minutes from now. I’m sorry Twilight but Boris has been hit in the arm. We have lost our grip on their system so i’m afraid that is all the time that you’ll get.”

Pinkie Pie suddenly had a realization.

“Twilight.” She addressed. Twilight looked at her. “If Ourumov has Starlight we might need the Goldeneye key for leverage!”

Twilights face froze for a moment. She hadn’t thought about that. She looked at Pinkie Pie

“The control room!” They both said at once.

There were a giant explosion. The double doors into the big gathering hall flew open. The guards aimed their guns at the lavender light only to have them be ripped from their hands and watch them de-magazine in front of them. Shots were fired from the other end of the room. This was immediately followed by screaming as the bullet teleported mid air and re appeared behind the shoulder of the shooter. One soldier shook his rifle annoyed, only to realize once he took a greater look that the magazine along with the entire bullet compartment had vanished from the weapon. The lavender light spread its wings and started hovering in the middle of the gathering hall, over three hundred soldiers and rebels watching. Her alicorn voice pulsated as it rumbled the blimp.

“LISTEN UP! My name is Twilight Sparkle and i am the princess of friendship. There is a criminal on this Vessel that goes by the name of Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov who have made himself guilty of tearing apart the friendship of James Bond and Alec Trevelyan for his own gaining!”

“One minute!” Rarity suddenly blasted inside Twilights head. Twilight looked down at Pinkie Pie, who immediately understood the urgency. She galloped toward the control room at the end of the hall, grabbing a uzi along the way.

Pinkie Pie slammed opened the door and stood face to face with two of Ourumovs elite guards. She threw herself to the floor and squeezed the trigger. They both made ballerina twists before hitting the floor. She saw that it was only 30 seconds until Goldeneye detonated. Another door openined. Pinkie Pie grabbed cover behind a steel counter while four guards rained down automatic fire, standing between her and the Goldeneye key.

Pinkie Pie was about to consider this mission failed when she suddenly had a flash from before she took cover behind this counter. Inside this flash she spotted a watch lying on top of it. And not just any watch, but her Q watch. Pinkie Pie leaned out her uzi and used it’s last rounds to suppress the soldiers. Slim as a fox she reached out and grabbed the watch. She turned the time wheel while holding a button. She tossed the watch so that it slided right in the middle of the group of soldiers. They watched bewildered at the thing the second before it’s built in flashbang blinded them all.

Pinkie Pie galloped forward, her face hardened by stress. She grabbed a dropped assault rifle ended all the blinded soldiers. She tossed the weapon to the ground, threw herself to the control panel and tore out the Goldeneye key.

The timer stopped at 1 second.

As Pinkie Pie tried to catch her breath there was an authoritarian voice coming from the speakers.

“Listen up party pony! I have your unicorn friend here in the engine room. Come alone. If i see so much as a glimpse of your alicorn friend she dies. If i hear so much as a hint of a teleportation being made she dies.” Ourumov paused. Then added darkly. “And don’t bother bringing any cakes on this one. This isn’t that kind of party.”

Starlight had her eyes closed. She felt the cold metal floor underneath her coat, although she was cold for that other reason. All she wanted was for all this to end. Her tears was still drying along her cheeks, reminding her of the truth. She didn’t want to die. She dreaded the bullet entering her body along with the following darkness. She dreaded her family crying over her. Her father, her mother, despite all the bad things they did to her when she was a filly she dreaded the emptiness that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

The steel door opened at the other at the other end of the room. Ourumov looked toward it with four of his elite guards by his side. Starlight opened her eyes. She felt her heart stop once she saw the pink hoof step inside, followed by the pony she loved. She felt Ourumovs pistol point at her head. She closed her eyes as she felt her shaking begin again.

Pinkie Pie studied the situation. She noticed the barrels to her right when she walked into the room. Ourumov was looking at her with a mean grin on his face. His arm was covered in blood from the bullet wound.

“See? Doesn't this look familiar?”

Pinkie Pie didn’t answer.

“I heard that you were a pony in the habit of celebrations. Well, maybe we should celebrate this, i believe it’s a 10 year anniversary now, of me about to shoot your friend here while I'm telling you...” Ourumov leaned his pistol closer to Starlight. Starlight gasped and shook in fear. “Come out. Throw down your weapon and walk towards me!”

Starlight shook her head. She didn’t want to die but she didn’t want Pinkie to die either.

“I do as you say Ourumov, for what it’s worth to you.” Pinkie Pie said as she slowly laid down her pistol.

“For what it’s worth.” Ourumov mirrored. Pinkie Pie continued.

“Ourumov, the countdown has been halted, your men shattered. We have the Goldeneye.”

Ourumov analyzed Pinkie Pies confident look. Ourumov didn’t buy Pinkies lie.

“You have it.” He said plainly and fired his pistol at her. Pinkies hoof jerked backwards when the bullet entered her body, the blast echoing inside the engine room.

“NO!” Starlight wailed.

Pinkie Pie galloped and threw herself behind the barrels. She felt her hoof burn in pain. She avoided looking at the blood.

Ourumov made a head motion. Two of his elite guards approached the barrels.

Pinkie Pie leaned her head and spotted her pistol lying on the floor. She brought up her Q watch. The guard were only centimeters from getting a clear shoot at her. She activated and enhanced the magnet function of the watch, watched her gun slide against the floor, feeling through her pinkie sense were the guards bullet would go half a second in the future.

She picked up her pistol and moved her head, dodging his first bullet. His head jerked backwards when Pinkie Pie shot him. She heard the other guard approach fast behind the barrel. She kicked it forward, causing it to fly of into him. He staggered and aimed his rifle at her. He made a gurgling sound when Pinkie Pie shot him through the neck.

Ourumov raised his arms incredulously as he watched his guards fall.

“Whats the matter with you?!... She is ONE... SILLY... PARTY PONY! Cakes! Ice cream! Cupcakes! What are you waiting for, an INVITATION!?”

Pinkie Pie thought that sounded like a splendid idea. She leaned out her pistol and fired toward Ourumov. The pistol clicked. Pinkie Pie cursed.

Ourumov smiled as he heard that she were out of bullets. The realization came like a Christmas card from hell. Pinkie Pie would suffer more if she watched her friend die.

“Well. I guess we can take you now instead party pony!” Ourumov snarled and leaned his pistol closer to Starlight. Starlight exploded into a inferno of crying.

“No! No! Please! Help! I don't want to die!”

Five gunshots of familiar character echoed inside the engine room. Ourumov dropped his gun. His two elite guards crumbled beside him. Ourumov wailed around.

Alec Trevelyans scarred face showed no sign of flinching behind the smoking barrel of Pinkie Pies PPK pistol. Somehow Ourumov managed to smile nervously despite being shot in both arms.

“Alec? Hello Alec, how nice to see you my friend.”

Alec didn’t answer, the heat from the air pressure machines being the only thing that could be heard.

“L...listen...Alec.” Ourumov stammered. “All those things that i said back there. That was all for your own good.”

Alec still didn’t say anything. He aimed coldly at Ourumov.

“This...This is what we’ve built together.” Ourumov said desperately.

Alec didn’t answer. His hair wavered from the pressure machines.

“What i mean to say, my friend, is that...”

“James Bond was my friend.” Alec finally broke the silence.

Ourumovs face became stuck for a second. It eventually raised in a smile. He nodded.

“Yes Alec, yes. I know that he was. But look at you, look at your face.”

Alec remained silent. Ourumov became incredulous.

“Who in James Bonds country is going to accept that face?! You, and me, we only have each other.”

The VHC recorder made a clicking sound in Equestria. The Goldeneye movie inside gave a shimmering light.

Alec lowered the pistol.

“It wasn’t Bond who gave me this face, it was you.”

The gunshots echoed inside the engine room. Two bumps followed, one when Ourumovs knees hit the floor and one when his body did. Starlight looked at Alec with goggly eyes. There were moaning behind Alec.

“Alec! WATCH OUT!” Starlight screamed.

Alec wailed around. His body jerked back and forth when he was hit with Xenia Onatopp's uzi burst. Alec fell on his back. He heard Onatopp approach him as he laid there. He looked at Starlight.

Starlight saw Alec looking at her with sad eyes. He laughed. He aimed his pistol at her. His PPK pistol pulled backwards as he fired. Starlight felt her head jerk. The device she had on her horn fell broken to the floor.

Xenia moaned in pleasure. She rapidly turned around toward Starlight and pulled the trigger. Her face twisted in disbelief as her bullets sailed right past the empty area where the unicorn had currently been. Xenia turned her confused face upward. She caught as small glimpse of the hovering unicorn before her horn flashed blue of her most dangerous spell. A laser sound followed.

“Hoooooooooa!” Xenia made a long gasp. There were a cracking sound. Starting from her legs, proceeding up through her body the assassin turned into ice. The ice sculpture toppled by it's side weight. A crack followed once it hit the ground. Xenia's ice head went rolling over the engine room floor. The gasp she made once turned still echoed as it went.

“For Trixie.” Starlight said.

After landing Starlight immediately trotted up to Alec. Pinkie Pie limped up from her hiding place.

“Alec!” Starlight exclaimed as her horn started glowing.

“No Starlight. No’t this time.” Alec said weakly, remembering the teleportation they made from in Byelomorye ten years ago. “This time i’ll stay. My parents are waiting for me.”

“No.” Starlight shook her teary face. Alec reached out his hand and touched it.

“Maybe we’ll see each other in Equestria.” Alec said. There were the sound of hooves trotting. “Ah. So you are Twilight Sparkle?”

“Yes.” Twilight answered. “The rebels and the soldiers have made pease, i made sure of that.” Twilights joy quickly faded as she realized what had just happened.

“In that case i thank you Twilight Sparkle, for giving them what my parents wanted from the start.” Alec said. He coughed up blood. Starlight cried out her broken words.

“No. Alec, please! Darn it Seas Bean i won't let you DIE IN ANOTHER MOVIE!”

Alec laughed weakly.

“Sean? I like that name. And if this is a movie then it’s yours...” Alec reached out and placed the PPK pistol in Pinkie Pies hooves. “...This is your story now.”

“For England Alec.” Starlight cried.

“No...” Alec shook his head. “...For you.”.

Alec closed his eyes. He let his fading mind go to when he and James Bond drank vodka martini together.

M ran her fingers along the arm holder of her office chair. She watched the skin of her old dented hands...

Oh, who where she kidding?! Of course she was old. An old grumpy witch that the others may try to sway if they had the patience of a lifetime, that meaning her lifetime. But Pinkie Pie had her entire lifetime ahead of her. The thought circulated M’s mind: Had she been reckless allowing Pinkie Pie to become a 00 agent?

One cannot argue with the result though. So far she had been one of the best new recruits in MI6 history. Pinkie Pies marksmanship had been described by testers as ‘Fantasy like’. But what had been her most commendable quality, at least in M’s own opinion, had been her sense for other peoples feelings and therefore their intentions, probably a quality owned by her friend making skills acquired in Equestria.

But this quality had also presented her greatest weakness M feared, the weakeness that she remembers everyones faces, the same way she remembered all the faces as a party planner in Ponyville. Oh yes indeed, she did remind her of...

“M?”

“Yes Moneypenny.”

“Ms Pie is here to see you now.”

“Oh yes. Send her in.”

Pinkie Pie walked into the office.

“Is the others with you?” M asked, knowing the answer but wanting Pinkies reaction.

“Yes ma’am. They are waiting outside.”

“Have a seat. I’d like to have a few word with you alone first.” M offered.

Pinkie Pie sat down in the visitors chair. M got up.

“Would you care for a drink?” M asked as she walked toward the cupboard. Pinkie Pie laughed.

“You know very well that i don’t drink that stuff M.”

“I think i’ll have some Bourbon.” M said and grabbed one herself. She sat down and continued.

“I read your report 007. I suspected Ourumov for a while but i could never have imagined a military coup. Good work turning it on it’s head Ms pie.” M was unusually nice.

“Thanks M.” Pinkie Pie said with a tinge of surprise in her voice. “Although i didn’t do it alone.”

“So i heard.”

Pinkie Pie lowered her eyes in sadness.

“It’s a shame about Alec’s fate.” M said

Pinkie Pie nodded for an answer. Eventually she asked.

“What will become of the Goldeneye?”

“It will be given back to the Russian government, although i doubt that it will be valuable for long. Since we know about the satellite now they are probably gonna want to end the program, or hand it over to some underfunded agency that will have it gather dust like our nuclear weapons.” M grumped.

”M?”

“Yes.”

“What was James Bond like?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“You know very well how i keep my personal relationships with my employees Ms Pie.” M said nice but firmly.

“Yes M, i know. But...” Pinkie Pie hesitated. M studied Pinkie Pie. She leaned back into her chair and put her hand on the table. She stared into the air as she spoke.

“He did much for this agency that old lad. Many mad men and women who crossed the line have fallen at the hands of James. He was quite cold, you know.”

“He was?” Pinkie Pie seemed surprised.

“Yes he was, and a charmer. That old stallion brought mares along with him like they were flowers growing on a field.”

Pinkie Pie giggled. “Yea. I know i’m a pony, but the short time i spent with him i can se why.” Pinkie Pie sighed. She lowered her head. M now realized why Pinkie Pie still looked up to Bond. M leaned closer her.

“You know Ms Pie?”

“Yes M?”

“If there are things from the field that you would like to forget we at MI6 can give you a psychologist to help you with that.”

Pinkie Pie looked at M. She opened her mouth. The silence laid as her face turned into hesitation again.

“...At least thats the offer i gave Bond.” M finally said.

“You did?” Pinkie Pie asked, her face twisting in bewilderment. M didn’t answer. “Did he see faces to?”

M smiled for an answer. She leaned back into her chair. She pressed the buzzer on the table.

“Alright. You can send them in now.”

There were the sound of hooves behind Pinkie Pie.

“Ah. And here comes the princess of friendship herself.” M greeted Twilight as she walked in with Starlight Glimmer and the rest of the mane 6. “I heard that you prevented a meltdown between Alecs rebels and the remainder of Ourumovs forces.”

“Once creatures realizes their similarities friendship is never out of bounds.” Twilight said.

M studied the group of ponies that stood before her. She saw Twilight looking at her with pride but a lack of hope in her eyes. She saw a one winged pegasus with a rainbow mane and a similar look. She saw a yellow pegasus that was looking worried at the rainbow pony. She saw a yellow earth pony that had her face completely lowered in sadness, probably a country pony with a family that she misses. She saw Starlight Glimmer putting her one hoof around Pinkie Pies back. M squinted her eye.

“Are you really sure that you don't want a drink 007?” M insisted. Pinkie Pie laughed again.

“No M. Im fine.”

“Maybe i can offer you something different?” M proposed.

“Do you have something without that throat warming stuff that makes you forget what you did last night?” Pinkie Pie asked.

M got up from her chair. She walked toward the cupboard.

“How about a taste of life?” M asked and reached her old dented hand inside the cupboard and pulled something. There were the sound of wood moving. Slowly the cupboard opened and revealed a flashing light. All the ponies gasped. The light blinded their eyes.

The blinding light from the cupboard slowly disappeared. A familiar sight shaped around her. Starlight gasped. Her gasp resonated inside Twilights living room.

“Twilight!”

Twilight looked at her. Her wings opened in happiness.

“Starlight! Were back!”

Rainbow Dash looked to her right. She smiled. She rocketed up into the air and felt her right wing react to the flow of the wind. As she landed she was faced with Fluttershy.

“I really liked our story Rainbow Dash.” Fluttershy said.

Rainbow Dash blushed. She laughed nervously. She smiled and looked confidently at Fluttershy.

“Yea.” She said. Fluttershy giggled.

“Starlight. We did it!” Pinkie Pie shouted joyfully. Her mane had puffed up to its full pinky fluffiness. There was a hoarse voice coming from behind.

“Starlight?”

Starlights eyes widened. A tear ran down her right eye as her mouth raised, creating a broad orchestra of white teeth. She turned around and galloped. She rose up on two hooves and wrapped herself around her best friend in the world.

“Trixie!” Starlight cried.

“I told you i’d see you in Equestria.” Trixie looked confidently into Starlights joyful eyes. ”Such a useful movie character i was huh, i was dying like a quarter in.” Trixie laughed and waved her right hoof about.

“Trixie, what are you talking about?! You’re the reason Pinkie Pie managed to become the agent she needed to be?!”

“I was?”

“Of course you were!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she approached Starlight and Trixie. “Without you i would never have managed to overcome my fears. Our friendship helped us through this movie, even after you were gone, the same way Alecs friendship with James Bond helped him.”

Starlight leaned her face closer to Trixie.

“You’re the most important character of all, inside and outside the movie.”

The rest of the mane 6 watched with smiles upon their faces as all three ponies hugged each other to the sound of their own laughters. Pinkie Pie nudged the table beside the TV. The box case that laid on top of it was labeled ‘GOLDENEYE 007’. It fell down from the cupboard. It bounced as it hit the floor, pressing the eject button on the video player as it did. The tape inside ejected and revealed its title in capital letters.

‘GOLDENPIE 007’
