Analysis Anarchy: The Red Spy

~Echo Nymph's POV~

It's quiet... Too quiet...

Firebrand, AnY, Mad Munchkin and I were walking through the battlefield, while everypony else was enjoying their day off. It's only been about a day since I had the vision of the Alicorn Amulet and the eyes, and yet I'm more tense than ever and I can't stop the whispers in my ears! It's starting to infuriate me!!!

"Ugh! We've been over this. I'm the Medic. I get first pick because I started this team." Firebrand told AnY, about why he can't be the Medic, because the in-game Medic is German, just like AnY, "Why is that so hard to understand?"

"Look, my German-ness is the only one thing I've got that no one else has." AnY argued, "And the way you play the Medic is a disgrace. Never seen you heal Pony since we started this Team." Then he smiled at me, "Nellie would make a better Medic. At least she actually gets involved in the training."

"Only Pinkie and Finn get to call me that, AnY." I told the Red DemoPony.

"Oh, really, AnY?" Mad Munchkin spoke up, "You want to talk about an absolute disgrace? Every time I hear you using a Scottish accent, it's like hearing nails scraping against a chalkboard!" Then added, "I'm the one who should be the DemoPony on this Team."

"AnY is German, Maddie. At least he's trying." I defended. AnY gave me a thankful smile.

"At least you fit your class, Spinel." Maddie told me.

"I'm British, and I'm the Spy." I pointed out, "The French and the British have been at constant quarrel with each other for centuries. I'm better off as the Sniper, or the Pyro." Then I closed my eyes and nodded, "I've made my bed, and I'm gonna sleep in it."

"You know what?" Firebrand spoke up, "I don't give a flying feather about your accents not matching your class. I'm not about to treat you differently because of your race."

AnY and Maddie gasped at Firebrand's words. I was about to argue, but I felt something heavy in the air. The last time that happened was when Sombra was freed from his prison, and when Trixie used the...

Oh no... Great moons, no...

"Oh, wow. When you put it like that... Yikes..." AnY spoke up from his gasp.

"Besides, you should count your blessings." Firebrand told them, "At least you didn't get Antony C as anything. I mean, you guys screwing up your accents is funny. I don't ever want to hear an Australian trying to do an American accent ever again."

"Uh... Guys?" I spoke up, "Do you feel that?"

"Do we feel what?" Firebrand asked me.

Suddenly, the intercoms rang and a male, Australian-yet-obviously-American voice spoke, "Well, what about an American trying to do an Aussie accent?"

Firebrand, Maddie and AnY looked around, trying to find who the voice came from. It wasn't Voice. Nor Golden.

Just then, a shadow landed in front of us, creating a huge dust cloud. Once the dust cleared, the shadow revealed to be a tall, Earth Pony stallion.

Well-built stature. Golden-yellow fur coat. Spiky black mane under an Australian hat. Black tail with golden-yellow streaks.

He wore a pair of beige cargo shorts and a black open vest. His chest exposed to reveal a large amount of chest-hair. And the Alicorn Amulet around his neck.

The stallion stood himself up and opened his eyes. The same eyes from my vision. Red with purple mist emitting, similar to Sombra's. He smiled, "G'day..."

Everyone was shocked by his arrival. I took a few step back in shock, fear and surprise.

Maddie recovered from her shock and shouted, "KILL HIM!!!"

However, before anypony could react or move, the stallion wasted no time and Falcon-Punched Firebrand into the back of the field, and into Dr. Wolf's office.

Uh-oh...

The stallion looked at the rest of us. I tapped AnY and Maddie's shoulders and ran the other direction, "Run!!"

Maddie tried firing rockets at the stallion, but he kept backfiring them toward us.

"I agree with Echo..." AnY spoke up, "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!"

AnY, Maddie and I ran through the battlefield and into ToonKritic and Eliyora.

I just realized I haven't introduced Eliyora to you guys. How silly of me.

Eliyora is the Red Team's Pyro. She's a Unicorn mare with fiery temper to match her class. Her fur coat was a chocolate brown, violet eyes and matching mane and tail. She wears the Pyro uniform, but without the mask.

Watch the video 'Meet the Pyro'.... You'll see why....

"Whoa, whoa. Where's the party, guys?" Toon asked, as we ran past him and Eliyora.

"Australian!" AnY shouted.

"Chest hair!" Maddie added.

"Mustache!" AnY shouted.

"Alicorn Amulet!" I shouted, then ran off, taking the two European Ponies with me, "Run!"

Maddie, AnY and I were able to make it to Dr. Wolf's office. Silver Quill and KeyFrame were already inside. KeyFrame was healing Firebrand from his wounds. Firebrand was babbling more nonsense than Storm Tracker when he speaks of his theories.

Don't ask...

"What in the name of Tartarus is going on out there?" Dr. Wolf asked in concern.

"DustyKatt..." AnY breathed, "He's here! And he's Australian!"

"With chest hair! And he's attacking the town!" Maddie shouted.

"He has the Alicorn Amulet, Doc. He Falcon-Punched Firebrand into your office without hesitation." I explained, as the others gathered up inside.

"Wait, what?" Dr. Wolf took a step back in shock.

"She said that DustyKatt has the Alic-" "I heard what she said, Silver." Dr. Wolf cut Silver Quill off, then turned to me, "But how?"

"We don't know!" Maddie answered.

"And that's how Equestria was made." Firebrand finished, as he was finally healed and capable of standing on his own.

"This isn't good." Dr. Wolf folded his arms, "We need a plan of attack."

"ATTACK!!!" KP shouted, as she charged out of the shack.

"KP! Wait!" I shouted after her.

Two loud explosions erupted outside and KP came back, looking like she just lost a fight with Freddy the Bear. She collapsed on the floor with a sigh.

Keyframe sighed and started healing KP, "Ugh. First, we need a plan to stop everyone from attacking."

Silver Quill took a step back, "Wait, wait, wait. That's an option? We can just... Not fight?" Then he glanced at everyone, "Like not stab me and saw off my limbs?"

"Silver?" Dr. Wolf started.

"Or hit me with grenades or light me on fire?" Silver continued, his eyes rimming with tears.

"Silver." Dr. Wolf tried again.

"Or gloat and say mean comments that really hurt me on the inside..." Silver continued.

"Silver..."

"Which is just uncalled for, because I'm-"

"SILVER QUILL!" I shouted.

"Yes?" He smiled at me.

"I will schedule a counselling session tomorrow." Dr. Wolf offered calmly.

"I'd like that." Silver nodded with a whisper.

I walked over to the intercoms and spoke into the microphone, "Blu Team. Red Team. Anyone who isn't accounted for. Please met up in Dr. Wolf's office. Don't bother trying to fight back. The enemy is wearing the Alicorn Amulet. Do NOT engage."

After a few seconds, everyone was inside the shack. Of course, Voice tried to play hero and got shot. So, Keyframe healed him, while Dr. Wolf went over what's going on.

"Alright. Now everyone is accounted for and no one is going to leave to do something drastic..." Dr. Wolf started, as he paced, "Dustykatt is on his way and we need a plan."

"Okay, I got it." ToonKritic spoke up.

"Does it involve shooting him again?" Golden Fox asked, folding his arms.

"No. But it did involve lightsabers. A hulkbuster suit and a CGI army that Peter Jackson and Michael Bay would love." Toon defended, then admitted after seeing us eyeing at him, "Okay. I got nothing."

"We can always sacrifice Silver Quill." KP suggested.

Silver Quill gasped, "Wow. Didn't even try to softball that one."

"Okay. How is that going to work?" Ink Rose, our dark red Pegasus mare Red Scout, asked as Voice walked past them, drinking some jarate.

"Have you seen any of my videos?" KP asked, "Getting Silver Quill killed always solves the problem. Helps out he always has a red shirt on."

Silver Quill gasped again, "Egad! She's right!" Then he folded his arms, "Once again, my fashion sense undoes me."

Suddenly Thespio appeared and spoke up in his Spy-French accent, "Everyone, let's all calm down." He started pacing, "We know Monsieur Katt is using the Alicorn Amulet. And since he is an Earth Pony, it bolstered his already impressive strength, stamina and endurance."

"And chest hair." Maddie added.

"And chest hair. Thank you. I-" Thespio added with a smile. Then he recollected on what Maddie just said, broke out of character and shuddered. Then he returned into character, "The point is he has the amulet. And since we are lacking in voodoo Zebra and doorstops, we need a new approach."

"I'm glad Zecora isn't here to hear you say that, Thespio." I glared at Thespio, "She's a herbalist. Not a witch."

"Po-teh-to. Po-tah-to." He shrugged.

I sighed, "Also, if we did have a Zebra and a doorstop, I think DustyKatt will be too smart to fall for it."

"Hey, I know." Sweetie Bloom spoke up, "If Dusty is using the Alicorn Amulet, the all we need is the power of an Alicorn to match it."

"That is a very plausible theory." Thespio nodded, still in character, "But who do we know that-"

He stopped talking and we all turned to Lightning Bliss. Lightning Bliss noticed the glances and quickly shook her head, "Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no! Have you seen my mini series, guys? I am the worst Alicorn you can look at! I have no magic! Get somebody else to go out there! I ain't doing it!"

"You have magic, Bliss. And lots of it." Eliyora assured Bliss, "In fact, your chaotic, unpredictable magic may be just the thing to smack down the Alicorn Amulet." She pointed out, "Your magic defies logic and breaks rules. Maybe it can break the Amulet's rules? Either way, you're our best shot right now."

Bliss thought for a second, then took a breath, "Alright." She walked over to Golden Fox and handed him her mini-gun, "Hold this."

"No, wait-" Golden was about to protest, but Bliss left and the weight of the mini-gun threw him to the ground.

"Bro, do you even lift?" Toon asked with a laugh.

"Go fuck yourself..." Golden Fox shot back with a glare.

"Do you even aim, Toon?" I asked.

That shut Toon up and everyone 'ooooh'ed at the burn. I looked out the window and watched Bliss confront DustyKatt. Her horn was glowing and her eyes went blank. She was ready to fight.

"'Ello, darlin'..." Dusty greeted Bliss with a sly smile.

"Uh-oh..." I muttered to myself.

Bliss' horn stopped glowing, her eyes returned to normal, and she started crying and running back to the office.

She returned and cried, "He scares me!" Then she ran off.

"And our best shot just took off at top speed...." Eliyora muttered in a deadpan sigh, "I guess rainbows don't always shine."

"So... We're all beaten up. We've managed to make a little girl cry. And we're all about to die. Most likely starting with me." Silver Quill summed up, "Third worst day ever."

"Really? What were the first two?" I asked.

"You don't wanna know." He answered in a deadpan tone.

Then ToonKritic looked at me and smiled, "Hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we send Echo Nymph out?"

I glared at the red and black Pegasus, "What?! Why me?!"

"Because, as far as I can tell, DustyKatt doesn't know you." He pointed out.

"But, what if she gets scared too?" KP pointed out.

"The only things that scare me are storms and feeling useless, KP." I explained, "Other than that, I don't scare easy." Then I sighed, "Fine, I'll go. But just because he scared Blissie."

Without a second thought, I marched out of the shack to confront the mean stallion. As if by magic, my shadow came to life and covered my body in darkness. My Spy uniform changed into an indigo hooded cloak and a black leotard with a violet sash around my waist.

(The Future is a Cold Nightmare...)

I opened my wings and glared at DustyKatt, "Hello, Donald..."

Dusty looked at me with wide eyes. His smile fell and the mist faded from his eyes. His red eyes turned to violet, like my vision. His body started trembling at the sight of me. He screamed like a high school mare and ran for the hills.

I removed my hood and made my way back to the office. My Spy uniform returned and I walked past everyone.

"Nobody... Say... A... Word..." I told them, as I made my way to the back of the shack (Hey, that rhymed!).

After a few minutes of trying to shrug off the anger and frustration, I found the entire shack has fell quiet. I made my way to Dr. Wolf's office. It was only him present.

"What the-? Where is everyone?" I asked.

"They charged out, thinking they can take Dusty as a team." Doc answered.

I took a step back, "What? Are they crazy? That's suicide! Do they know the-" I was cut short by the ground trembling under my hooves, "Doc, do you feel that?"

He raised a brow at me, "Feel what?"

I walked outside to see what was going on. As I expected. DustyKatt didn't come alone. An army of robots surrounded the battlefield, outnumbering our team.

The team was shocked, frightened and ran back into the shack. Dr. Wolf and I looked at each other.

"So it begins..."
