Unearthed
Operation:Gem Hunt
Previous ChapterLuna was sitting at a long table looking off in the distance, lost in thought. After entering the nightmare she stumbled across she was left in complete shock. She had seen a white pegasus colt walking home from school. After seeming innocent enough he had turned into an alleyway as if he'd seen something. That's when she saw them. Ponies in suits, ponies she thought she would never see again. What convinced her it had to be them was the way they just.....appeared. It was as if they'd been invisible before the poor colt stumbled across them.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when a pair of golden doors opened and a white alicorn stepped through. "Hello Luna, was all fine in the dream realm last night?" She asked her sister. "Yes all was fine Celestia" she lied, "how was your sleep? "It was wonderful thank you" Celestia replied.
As they ate Luna couldn't stop thinking about the nightmare.
"I had set up that organization before I turned into Nightmare Moon how are they still around." she thought to herself. One thing she knew for certain was that they needed to be stopped. They were going around kidnapping foals for celestia knows why. After finishing breakfast she made her way to the royal archives. She kept moving until she had reached the forbidden section. When she got their she pulled a certain book slightly off the shelf. The bookshelf the book was on slid out of the way revealing a secret pathway. "Not even Celestia knows about this" she whispered to herself as she stepped inside with the bookshelf closing behind her.
"FUCK" Thunder Shadow shouted as he recieved a paw to the face by a diamond dog. Team midnight had recieved it's first official mission about 15 minutes ago. Apparently a large group of diamond dogs had been spotted in a cave close to ponyville. Midnight was tasked with blowing the place to hell with a crap ton of dynamite. All had been going well until Thunder had tripped over a rock and got the attention of every diamond dog in the cave. Krystal was probably more pissed than she had ever been but Thunder decided he would run for his life later.
After wiping some blood of his muzzle Thunder just barely had enough time to catch another blow. He looked over and saw Krystal holding up pretty well. She had just finished knocking out another diamond dog before turning to look at him smugly.
"Having trouble over there?" She asked smugly. "Oh Ha Ha" said thunder sarcastically as he delivered a right hook to a diamond dog. "Can we just hurry this up."
After knocking out the rest of diamond dogs, the duo proceeded to unzip the duffle bags they were holding and started to plant the dynamite. "Don't you think this is a little much?" Thunder asked as he dumped the dynamite on the floor. "A little but these are our orders so who are we to argue" Krystal replied.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that" said a mysterious voice behind the duo. The two turned around and prepared for a fight. What they saw was a tall white pegasus. What surprised them the most however, was the fact that his wings were made of what appeared to be metal.
"Who are you exactly?" Thunder asked cautiously as the newcomer gave them a smug smirk. "You can call me Iron Wing" the intruder said, the smirk never leaving his face. "Original" Krystal said sarcastically. "Well I was gonna give you the option to surrender but you've just pissed me off" Iron Wing said as he frowned.
"Krystal light the dynamite I'll keep him busy" Thunder whispered. Krystal nodded and ran off in the direction in the dynamite. Iron wing tried to run after her but Thunder blocked his path. "Pay attention, your fighting me" he shouted as he threw a punch that connected and made Iron Wing stumble backwards.
After a few minutes of fighting, both sides taking their fair share of hits, Thunder's curiosity got the better of him. "So, metal wings?" He asked. "How and why?"
"Unimportant" replied Iron Wing as he punched Thunder. All of a sudden Krystal appeared next to Iron wing and bucked him in the face sending him flying backwards. "We gotta go" she said seriously as the duo ran towards the cave exit. After running far enough away they turned around to see Iron Wing running at them angrily as the cave behind him collapsed.
Thunder tried to throw a punch but it was blocked with little effort. Thunder tries to pull his hoof back but Iron Wing held onto it tightly. He used his other hoof to punch Thunder in the leg as hard as he could.
Thunder laid on the ground screaming in agony as his leg was bent in a way it wasn't supposed to be. "THUNDER" screamed Krystal as she ran to her partner and tried to calm him down. She looked up and saw Iron wing ready to attack her as well.
She hurried up and turned a dial on the side of her watch she had recieved from her uniform. The watch was a helpful gadget that was for sure. The unicorn engineers back at HQ developed it for all the agents shortly after Nightmare Moon was defeated and Luna was turned back to normal. It contained a spell within it that would teleport the wearer and whoever they were holding back to HQ.
Dark Crescent was patiently waiting on the return of her last team. She had sent all the newest teams on pretty simple missions to help them get some on field experience. All the teams had returned except for midnight. She was actually starting to get worried. Sure those two weren't the best in their class by any means, but they were still capable agents. She wasn't worried about said agents, not by a long shot. She was worried that they had been captured and giving away some very valuable information.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when said agents finally were teleported back to HQ. Dark Crescent was ready to ask how the mission went when she stopped in her tracks and finally saw the shape they were in. Krystal was relatively fine, only a couple tears I'm her eyes as she was staring at her partner. It was Thunder that worries her. He was unconscious with his leg bent in a way it wasn't supposed to be.
Krystal looked up to the crowd that was starting to gather.
"Help him!" She said almost sounding panicked.
