Operation pink blur

The sun shined down brightly on the city of Manehattan as ponies went along their daily lives, pulling carts, selling products, eating lunch, and one couple in particular were celebrating their engagement. But the peace was not destined to last. The streets shook as birds took to the sky, their screechs and caws filled the air as a small sense of dread descended on the happy scene.

A 12-wheeled armored vehicle came barreling down the center of main street. The vehicle was as tall as a one story building and so wide it took up the entire street, forcing the other carts and ponies to get out of the way lest they be ran over. Fortunately it stopped temporarily to allow the slower ponies to get out of the way when they blocked it. It was as long as 3 apple wagons with large speakers built into the sides and front of the vehicle. Across the vehicles surface were paintings of the three types of ponies standing on clouds above alicorns chained and bound to the ground. The vehicle eventually came to a stop in the middle of town square, parked neatly between a pear stand and a fountain.

Slowly a circular portion of the vehicles roof opened outwards as fog spilled out from the hole. Two ponies were slowly brought into view from the fog as a platform raised up from the vehicle. The one in front was a white coated golden maned earth pony wearing a thick white lab coat which covered all of his body except his head. His face was mostly covered in thick goggles with golden rims. He posed with his right hoof in the air the moment he came into view.

The other pony was a red and white coated unicorn with a black mane. She wore no special outfit aside from red rimmed glasses and a large bandage covering her cutey mark. Her horn was glowing as she sat behind the earth pony and used her magic to hold up a pen and clip board.

"Citizens of Manehatten!" The earth pony yelled as the speakers screached before catching his voice and amplifying it so the gathered and confused crowd could hear. "For to long the alicorn tyrants have dominated over us! With their powerful magic they have ruled this country with an iron hoof! But no longer! One pony shall stand against them! Shall break the bonds which bind us to our tall enslavers! I ask all of my fellow brethren to stand besides me on this day as we throw off the shackles of our oppressors! To show them we no longer need royalty to control our steps!" He went silent as he awaited the cheers.

A single pony coughed as silence reigned in the normally loud city, the booming speech having stunned even the sturdiest of manehattenites. And then somepony threw a dandelion sandwich at the pony. The earth pony glared as it bounced off his lab coat. "Very well then. I was afraid it would come to this. Remember everypony, you chose this! Manehatten will be the first to crumble at my hoofs. And then all of equestria! Release the parasprites!" He raised a hoof dramatically as he proclaimed his judgement.

"Um... Sir... The parasprites were shipped to Balimare due to a shipping typo, where they were accidently released during inspection." The unicorn behind him said softly, though the speakers amplified it so all could hear.

"... Oh. In that case. The dragon!"

"Turned out to be a gecko with fake wings."

"What? But it sent us the picture and everything."

"They were very good fake wings." As the unicorn talked a few snickers came from the crowd.

"The alicorn bot?"

"Still undergoing testing."

"... The hungry angry kittens?"

"Somepony fed them and gave them to an orphanage." Now there was outright laughter from the gathered ponies as many of them got back to their duties, ignoring the two.

"Is there anything thats actually working?" He grumbled as he stomped his hoof down.

"Well yes sir. But it hasn't been field tested yet." As she flipped the clip board around to show the pony.

"Ah... Ofcourse. Then it's decided." The earth pony turned around as he pointed his hooves towards the crowd. "All you Manehattan ponies with your acceptance of your oppression! Today the first step of the destruction of the alicorns shall begin! And with it, a new world order! Sadly your city will not survive. But that is the price of betraying your kind! Operation pink blur starts now!" He then slammed a hoof down, the stage lowering back into the vehicle before the hole closed. The vehicle then turned around and sped back off the streets it came from, many a pony staring at the retreating vehicle in confusion.

Hours later the earth pony and unicorn stood before a wall of screens, a large terminal directly in front of them. The terminal itself only had a few buttons but was covered in flashing lights and levers that didn't do anything but look fancy. The screens were filled with live feeds from hidden cameras in Manehatten which now had over a dozen crates blocking the streets, surrounded by confused ponies trying to get around them or even open them. Across one of the screens a map of equestria was shown with a small pink dot advancing rapidly towards Manehatten. The only other thing in the room aside from the terminal was a large swivel chair bolted to the ground. There was only one door into the room, and no lights except from the screens. "Dr. Alicity are you sure this is wise? The ummm... Pink blur has never been properly tested. We don't know if what happened at the grand galloping gala was a one time incident or normal behavior." The unicorn asked as she glanced from screen to screen.

"Nonsense. I have seen the pink blur in action and performed extensive research with some of my collegues in ponyville." He grinned gleefully as he sat down, tapping his hoofs together. The pink dot had arrived in Manehatten. "BEGIN!" He yelled as he pushed a large red button on the terminal. Across the screen's the crates could be seen opening as party music filled the air. Confetti, party hats, and glitter flew through the air as a pink blur moved through the streets. Like creeping fog the effect of the pink blur was felt as conga lines formed down main street, games of pin the tail on the pony began in the middle of downtown, and a massive pinata dangled from the Manehattan bridge. "Yesssss. It begins. With all of the city ground to a halt the alicorns will have no choice but to bend to my wishes. Mwa ha ha ha ha!"

In fact everything was going so well he decided to do a little victory spin. He jumped into his swivel chair happily, the momentum of his jump making the chair spin. "Weee AGHHHHH!" As the chair turned back to face the screens one of the cameras was now dominated by the image of a pink pony staring into it.

"Hi there. I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name?" The pink pony asked as she poked the camera.

"AHHH! Self destruct, self destruct!" Dr. Alicity cried as he lunged for the terminal, poking and proding buttons until the screen went dark. He let out a sigh of relief until the pink face showed up on another one.

"Ohhhh, is this a game? Are we playing hide and seek? I'm really really really good at hide and-" But before the pony could finish the screen went dark as another camera detonated. Again and again the pink pony appeared, even at the camera attached to the statue of harmony, but soon they were all destroyed leaving nothing but staticy screens and the map of equestria.

The earth pony slowly let out a soft sigh of relief, sweat having formed on his brow and his breathing forced and
ragged. "O-ok. We're safe. It's not like she could find us. Now... Now I'll just wait until... Secretary?" Looking around the room he realised he was alone. Completely. Turning back to the screens he failed to notice the pink dot had disappeared from his map. "Hmph. Coward. There is no way-" A happy giggle echoed through the room. His ears went flat on his head as he slowly turned around. The room was still empty. Turning back to the screens he realised he was holding his breath. "Just imagining things. There's no way any pony could find this place. Now, to submit my demands to those accursed alicorns." He pushed a green button as one of the staticy screens turned solid white with a small blinking vertical line in the top left corner.

"Whats yah doin'?" A happy voice said from behind him as he felt something lean over his shoulder.

Slowly he turned to gaze at the thing leaning on him... And let out a scream. Throwing dignity to the wind he jumped onto the terminal to escape the pony and he ran, stumbling on the edge of the terminal before falling off and rolling on the ground for a few steps. But he refused to stop, mostly due to blind terror, and instead he jumped to his hoofs and ran towards the door. Sadly he decided that going through the door would surely be faster than opening it, and as he rebounded off the door he couldn't ignore the throbbing pain coursing through his body. He laid there in the fetal position for a few moments, as a pink head blocked his view.

"Are you ok mister goggly head?" The pink ponie's giggles echoed through his head like the wails of a banshee. "Why arn't you at the party? Your the one throwing it arn't yah?"

"AHHHHHH!" He screamed again as he jumped to his hooves, ignoring the pain as he tried to escape the terror. Throwing the door open he ran out of the room into a long empty hallway that led to an elevator. It was the only entrance. But he could make it. He just had to survive until the elevator arrived, and then he'd be safe. He frantically pressed the button to summon it, only pausing for a moment to glance back. The pink pony hadn't followed him! He was safe. The doors popped open... And he moved back a step. Huddled in one corner was his secretary, holding her clip board up as if it was a shield. But staring back at him was the smiling pink face. He was to terrified to even scream this time...

"Are we playing tag? Ohhhh, I love tag! I'm really good at it! But we really really really can't play it now! Everypony is waiting for you!"

The fruit punch isn't even that good. Dr. Alicity thought to himself as he sipped his third glass. He sat at one of the many tables set up in Manehatten's third avenue, sulking. His master plan had not turned out at all as he'd planned. The town wasn't wrecked, ponies weren't running and screaming, nopony had sent him messages of surrender, and worse of all he failed to hit the pinata even once on his turn. All in all it was going quite poorly as a start for ending the alicorn tyrany. His eyes glanced to his secretary as she played some strange card game with a group of other unicorns. Ofcourse she was happy. She had won the deck of cards in pin the tail on the pony competition.

He stomped a hoof on the table which caused his drink to fall over, but he didn't care. "No. This doesn't end here. Soon
all will know the name Dr. Alicity. And the alicorns will lose their grip over this land!" He rose to his hooves, raising his front right hoof into the air.

He failed to see the shadow of the water balloon as it tumbled down at him.
