Metal Gear Pony: Day or Night

~Chapter 10: Pesky Ocelots~

~Solar Empire: Forest~

    We come back once more to our hero Blaze, on his way through the forest to the lab with gun in hoof. He reaches the wall surrounding the lab and pushes a button on his earpiece. “Jack, Bro. Can you spot a safe way in from your point?”

    “Well...safest spot ah can see is right on the other side of ya. If ya’ll climb over that there wall, you’ll come down right between the wall and a storage shed.”

    Big Bro chips in, “She’s right. The main entrance is obviously out of the question, and that hole you and Fluttershy went in through is most likely filled in by now. You’ll just have to climb over, Blaze.”

    Blaze sighs in frustration. “Well..alright.” He switches off the radio, spreads his wings, and uses them to propel him high enough to leap over the wall, amazingly undetected. “Well it worked. Lucky me.”

    RING RING

    He sighs and answers it. “Yeah..Commander?”

    “Blaze. Fluttershy just informed me that she dropped the detonator for the C3 while you were there last. Your mission objective has changed.”

    “Find the detonator..?”

    “Exactly. Find it, light it, and run for it.”

    “Got it.” He switches off and sneaks around the shed and makes his way toward the main buil...wait, what is he doing? Instead of heading toward the main building, he heads toward the side wall where he and Fluttershy got in last time.

    “Lookout there sugarcube. Got yerself a wannabe cowpony coming your way.”

    Blaze finally finds the hole...completely filled in. “Damn it...I thought for sure it might have fallen off in there....” “I thought I smelled something...turns out it was strawberries.” “Craaaap...wait..strawberries..?”

    “What in the name of Celestia did you even use to wash yourself with? I could smell the strawberries a mile away...unless all failures smell like that..”

    RING RING

    “?”

    Flame sighs and answers. “What?”

    Pinkie Pie’s...erm...Queen Cake’s giggle-snorting can be heard clear as day. “Sorry about the strawberries! You must have grabbed my shampoo by accident.”

    “Gosh darnit Cake...”

    Blaze groans in annoyance and hangs up. “Ignoring that...”

    Ocelot smirks that annoying ‘I’m better than you’ smirk. “So, I take it you’re looking for this?” She takes out the very detonator he was looking for. “Sorry, but its useless now. We found the C3 you planted on the fuel tanks.” She tosses it to him. He catches it and growls, putting in his bag. He then starts reaching for his gun, but Ocelot speaks up first. “Hold it! ...Why don’t we make a game out of this?”

    “A..game??”

    “Yes, a game.” She levitates out a pair of revolvers, both empty. The takes a single bullet and loads it into one of the guns and spins the chamber. “A game of luck. Are you feeling lucky Mister Failure?” She uses her magic to juggle the guns in the air without looking, moving them faster and faster to make sure Blaze loses track of the loaded one. “Winner takes all.”

    “...Alright. I’ll play your little game...”

    “Are ya’ll serious??”

    “If it gets her off my back, I’m damn serious.” Ocelot laughs and levitates the guns down onto the ground between them. “Choose wisely..”

    ...They stare each other down for a moment...before they both break into a quick gallop toward the guns. They both grab the gun of their choice and begin rapidly firing, with neither of them firing off a shot. They continue running past each other and to the side until finally...a bullet grazes Ocelot’s ear. “What..!?”

    “Got you..!” He then quickly pulls out his Hush-Puppy and fires a tranquilizer into her neck. “Why you annoying..little...loserrrrrr....” She falls over from the tranquilizer and even starts drooling a little.

    RING RING

    “Hm?” He answers the radio. “Yeah?”

    “There has been a change in plans Blaze.”

    “Princess Luna??”

    “Yes. You must return as soon as possible...We finally managed to capture our little spy.”

    “...! R-Right away...You heard her. Let’s head back.”

    “Roger that sugarcube!”

    “Alright, see you there.”
