In and out
Another day for being with my wonderful sister, however today she still seems mad as she arrives home with another angry face. Which probably means that her friends are giving her a hard time, since she’s mostly responsible for everything robot related. My other sisters tried to calm her down a little and cheer her up but it only lasted for a little bit. Once my sister Rarity entered her office she sat down and started to relax a bit. “Sorry Sweetie Belle, it’s just the usual tantrum of mine so nothing to worry about.” She said sadly.
“It’s alright sis, just say the word and I’ll silence them myself.” I said stoically. My sister raised an eyebrow at that, but smiled a little bit though.
“Oh trust me Sweetie Belle, I’ll certainly let you know.” Rarity said. I nodded once she understood, then out on the table appeared a hologram of Miss Cozy Glow who was staring at us.
“I’m sorry to interrupt Rarity, but I’d like to request a big favor from you.” Cozy Glow said with a slight frown on her face.
“I’m not in a really good mood but fine darling, what is it?” Rarity said irritated. Hopefully whatever favor Cozy Glow asks is something good.
“Well I’m sure you’re familiar with Starlight Glimmer who was found guilty right? Basically I want you to head over to Trottingham and break her out of there.” Cozy Glow said with a smirk. Me and my sister were shocked, not only because of breaking somepony out of prison but also because the prison there is heavily guarded and dangerous.
“Well I suppose I can do that, I already have somepony for backup if things go south.” My sister said regaining her calm demeanor back. Wait backup? I wonder who that would be.
“Excellent! Please let me know as soon as she’s secured.” Cozy Glow said finally as the hologram disappeared.
“So sis, care to tell me who this “backup” is?” I asked curiously. But my sister just smirked at me.
“Oh you’ll see eventually darling, you’ll see.” Rarity said giggling. If that’s the case then it must be somepony I’m not expecting at all.
Once I was in the VTOL gunship making sure my weapons were good to go, I spotted a familiar yellow Pegasus pony wearing the same kind of armored suit the guards in Manehattan were wearing. “Fluttershy? Are you seriously the backup?” I asked her shockingly.
“Yep Sweetie bot, I’m your backup. Now where did I put my honeycomb at?” Fluttershy said as she looked for her “honeycomb” which was the name of a very powerful equestrian sniper rifle. Once Fluttershy found it she stuck it onto her back and sat down in one of the seats.
“Okay then, hey sweetie bot 77 let’s move!” I yelled at the pilot who is one of my sisters.
“Affirmative, heading there now.” 77 said taking us in the air and off to our destination. After a long distance away I decided to talk to Fluttershy about what she’s doing.
“So Fluttershy, if it’s not too much please tell me what or who you’re working for.” I demanded. I couldn’t see her face though because of her helmet, I can use my scanner to see through it but I don’t want to bother doing that.
“Hmm well I suppose you could call me a freelancer. I’ll work for anypony for whatever he or she needs. Whether I’ll be an assassin, smuggler, merchant, mechanic, you name it and I’ll get it done.” Fluttershy said confidently. And of course I was shocked again, it’s no wonder my sister’s friends didn’t know what she did. Except for Rarity, I’m sure she already knew.
After a couple of more hours, I finally hear my sister 77 speak up. “Alright girls we’re here, stay down and be careful out there.” 77 said as me and Fluttershy hopped out of the gunship and landed as quietly as possible. After a few moments of making sure we were okay, my sister flew the gunship back home.
“You can head towards the location ahead of me Sweetie bot, I’ll find a vantage point and look out for you and spot any opportunities that may come up.” Fluttershy said as we made our way towards the prison. Well prison isn’t the word I would use, it’s more like a military base with all of the security.
Once I made it to the edge of the prison I spotted an opening near the west entrance, only problem is that it’s guarded by an armored guard with a LMG. Just as luck would have it Fluttershy spoke up in my system through her suit.
“Alright Sweetie bot I’m in position, I’ve also hacked into the enemy’s comms so we’ll know what they’re doing. And feel free to check out the opportunities.” Fluttershy said after cutting off. Hmm let’s see here…
“Hey private, have you gotten those turrets back online in the cell area.” Said a stallion guard with a thick accent.
“Not yet sir, we might need to hire somepony or something to do it because I sure as hell can’t.” Replied a mare guard. Hmm this must be what Fluttershy meant by “opportunities”.
“Don’t worry I got them.” Fluttershy said as I heard a very silent shot from somewhere, and after 3 seconds the armored guard that was at the entrance I was trying to get in fell to the ground.
I then decided on a good idea. I touched the dead armored guard’s body and disguised myself as well as mimicking their voice. The door to the west entrance has a keypad next to it, I used my scanner and hacked it giving me access to it. Once the door was opened I went inside and closed it. The inside of it looks like a maze, but thanks to my eyes I’ll be able to navigate easily. Thankfully I spotted the cell area just below my position.
I spotted an elevator up ahead and walked towards it, just then two armored guards stepped out and noticed me. “Hey High Spec, you’re supposed to be guarding the entrance over there. Did something happen?” The mare guard asked curiously. The other guard wasn’t as fooled and spoke up.
“Yeah what she said, you know we can’t just abandon our duties like that.” The stallion guard said unamused. Of course I could come up with some lame excuse but then it would be too obvious. So with my left wrist I took out my blade and stabbed the mare guard in the heart. The stallion guard tried to shoot me but I was too quick as I hopped on the ceiling, ran behind him, and snapped his neck. I eventually thought about hiding the bodies but I didn’t really care to do so.
“Fluttershy how are things going out there?” I asked worriedly as I got into the elevator and touched on the cell area button.
“Smoothly so far but you better hurry though, I’m sure they’ll notice something eventually.” She said cutting off again.
Once the elevator stopped and opened I spotted a some kind of booth nearby. I opened the door to it and I see a security console that was blinking on and off. When I immediately went to it I hear a voice from it. “Welcome High Spec, security turrets are offline, please reboot now.” The security console said. I almost forgot that I still have the disguise on.
I did something even better, I used my scanner to reboot and hacked it. Once that was done, the computer spoke up again.
“Security turrets are online, friendly fire online, preparing for elimination of targets.” The computer said as I heard gunshots fired throughout the prison.
“Damn now that’s just cruel.” Fluttershy said to me snickering before cutting off again.
After that I exited the booth and went straight inside the cell area. The turrets turned to me and stopped with green lights, letting me know that I’m on their side. Other than that there were some terrified prisoners and several dead guards everywhere.
However there is one prison cell at the end of the hall that was very quiet. As I went in front of it I see Starlight Glimmer smiling and shaking her head.
“Good grief, I wake up from hearing gunshots and the next thing I know I see dead guards everywhere. So let me guess you’re here to get me out of here?” Starlight said curiously.
“Indeed Miss Glimmer, let’s move out.” I said as I used my hands this time to break open the door. Just then Fluttershy spoke up again.
“Sweetie bot please hurry I’m a little pinned down over here, I hope you and the VIP are safe.” She said cutting off.
Since we’re running out of time I teleported me and Starlight to where Fluttershy is. And indeed she was being overwhelmed by armored guards with Heavy miniguns. Though it’s a good thing I have something else up my sleeve. “Fluttershy look at me!” I said as I yelled at her. Once she looked I used my scanner to turn her, me, and Starlight temporarily invisible. After that all of the guards surrounding the area were looking everywhere yelling where the intruder went.
Once all of us were out of sight I sent a signal telling Rarity that we’re ready to head home. “On my way sis, sit tight.” 77 said to me through my system. After hours of staying out of sight, our gunship arrived. Then I grabbed Fluttershy and Starlight then activated my thrusters and we both got inside the ship safely.
Once we safely landed at my home my sisters including my sister Rarity welcomed us. “Thank goodness you’re all alright darlings!” Rarity said relieved.
“Yeah it was pretty fun, too bad I couldn’t get more kills.” Fluttershy said giggling.
“Fun for you maybe I almost had a heart attack getting out of there.” Starlight said wryly.
“Well in any case, I’ll let Cozy Glow know that our special pony is secured. Good work you two.” Rarity said smiling to me and Fluttershy. Hmm I wonder if Rarity is done with her “project” yet.
