Infiltration

Fleur de lis walked through the encampment with a depressed look on her face the Royal Equestrian Army recruiter had spun her a tale of glory, victory, and adventure, instead all she had experienced was shame, defeat, and misery as the Celestial Empire was losing the war with the Ebonheart Pact, Equestria’s age old rival had been since Caesar gouged Sun Flare’s left eye.

Fleur was making her way to her bunk when one of her superiors stopped her.

“Staff Sergeant Fleur de lis.” he said gruffly.

“Sir yes Sir!” Flier responded saluting

“At ease Sergeant, I think we can overlook the chain of command for now, follow me.” he said calmly

At which point fleur de lis, noticed that the officer like most Stallions in the Empire had a soft voice, Fleur de lis followed her superior until they came to the communications room inside the base inside was an opened laptop flanked by two Solar Guards (Celestia's elite troops) they stood in silence for a moment before a video call opened up and on the screen was none other than prince Sun Flare himself.

Oh my... I… I… “ Fleur was at a loss for words she rarely even saw the nobility much less the son of Celestia herself.

“Fleur de lis right?” Asked the solid white Alicorn.

“Uhm… I.. Yes! Yes that's Staff Sergeant Fleur de lis 201st platoon of the Prance territory" said Fleur saluting.

“Good, now Sergeant it has come to my attention that you wish to become a Solar Guard and you'll be happy to know you several recommendations” Sun explained.

“Wait Does this mean I... “ Fleur was cut off

“Not exactly though that's not you won't be in the near future you see you are here for a special mission for the Crown."

“*gasps* I am honored your Majesty, what's my assignment” Fleur said kneeling.

“It's Highness…” the prince muttered “any way I sent the mission briefing with Gold brand he'll. . .” Sun was cut off when.

“Sun Flare time for dinner!” yelled Light Bringer

“In a minute, I'm talking to me friends” The prince yelled back.

“Chatting with the commoners again you know mom doesn't like when we talk to strangers” the other prince yelled

“Ugh gotta go!” Sun flare said and went to his brother “Colonel Steel heart will brief you on your mission”.

Two weeks later,

Fleur took her seat on the train and started her trip, as she departed she decided to take one last look at what she leaving behind, because for what was likely to be the rest of the war she would be behind enemy lines deep within the Lesion and the Northern Hoarde.

As the bus appapproached boarder, a Zebra walked down the isle taking everyone's passports, naturally, the R.E.I.A. had provided her with all the papers she needed, and they passed into Legion territory without a hitch. She got off if in the Legion city of Derkirus, Kurcraine there she would meet her contact Shadow Gold.

“Miss De Lis?” Asked a black Stallion with gold streaks in his hair.

“do you have a cell phone?” Fleur asked

“My battery is dead.” he replied

“Agent 366, welcome to operation: undesirable” Shadow Gold said

“Let's get started” Fleur and Gold leave the station, however unbeknownst to them they are not alone.

“Your objective tonight, is to seduce the Secretary General; Moskvin Long-Horn and gain his trust. We will use trust to obtain the proof we need to expose the Legion's crimes to the world.” explained Shadow Gold

“Just like that no preparation, no plan, no…” Fleur started

“In our line of work, the less the you know the better…" Gold paused "don't worry it's all under control” he explained.

The black pegasus’ words were strangely comforting to her.

Later that evening

Club Thunder was a buzz as usual frequented by the elite, neon lights flashed and the dance floor was covered by legion youths dancing to dubstep, strippers in latex outfits danced on poles, overlooking the dance floor was a cigar lounge were many of the older Legionaries smoked, Fleur's mark was in his fifties so the lounge was her destination. She entered the upper level a number of men tried to peak at her

“Why did I agree to this?" Fleur de lis wondered as she sat down at the bar he thought

“Let me guess coltfriend was a cheat?” Asked the bartender

“Something like that.” Fleur said

“And you're getting back at him by sleeping with one of these pasty old fucks, anyone in particular?” asked the bartender

“Actually yes, Moskvin long-horn” Fleur said

“Ouch, well he's over there unwinding” said the bartender

Fleur turned to the see disgusting old man slouched in his chair, Fleur just wanted to cut and run after that, but eventually her loyalty to Equestria and a few shots of Vodka, overpowered her disgust and she walked over toward him, but just as she got close a red mare with a light blue mane in a tan suit walked up to him.

“Mr. Long-horn the Grand Hortator requests your presence at once.” she said and the two swiftly walked toward the elevationor, Fleur started back toward the bar when a second red mare in a suit with a green mane stopped her

“I’m sorry madame, but you'll have to come with me” she said

“Oh Shit!” Fleur de lis thought
