Metal Gear Pony: Day or Night

~Chapter 12: Recolored~

    Once again we find out flaming hero, along with Angel, hiding by the outside wall of the lab. On the mountain again is Jack with her trusty sniper rifle. Rarity, codenamed Shine, under the disguise of a guard, has managed to sneak in through the back. The day before, Rarity had told the Princesses where her sister and her friends were living. They sent Big Bro there to take care of the guards watching over them and to take them to Pony-Hound HQ for safety. The mission went without any problems.

    This time, they will never see them coming. Rarity had previously told Celestia that the mission would be performed late at night when in fact it is happening right now, in the early morning. Of course, they need to be extra careful and quick. Metal Gear SUN will likely be finished by noon, and Celestia herself has come to see it through.

    Blaze checks his equipment and turns to Angel. “Ready?” “Ready.” The two of them hop and hover over the wall and into the base.

    “Okay. Rarity has confirmed that she has made it in undetected. Make your way into the hangar.”

    “Roger that Sparks.” This time for extra insurance, the Princesses, Cake, and Flower have set up a temporary base in the mountain cliff with Jack. That means they don’t need to use the codec radio for long distance communication. Blaze and Angel begin sneaking toward the building, using anything they can for cover if they need to. They reach the door..

    “Careful you two. Couple guards comin’ ‘round the corner.”

    They quickly get inside just as the guards round the corner. They make their way down the hall and into a small lab room. Blaze notices something wrong. “I think we went the opposite way we went before..Angel shakes her head. “I-Its okay...both ways will lead to the main hangar. Let’s go..” This time she leads the way. They sneak through the lab and manage to get out with no problem. Once they leave the lab and enter the hall entrance to the hangar, they stop. “G-Guards..”

    !

    The two guards at the end notice them and start reaching for their radios and guns, but Blaze moves faster and fires tranquilizers into their necks and knocks them both out. “Got em.” They continue through and into the hangar. Immediately they duck down behind the wall and peek over the top. Angel first notices the worst of it and squeaks. “C-Celestia...”

    Blaze pulls out his binoculars and takes a look. “...Grey Rainbow and Ocelot are there too...This could be tricky...wait, I see Shine. She’s with the guards protecting Celestia.”

    “So, now we sneak down there and onto the Metal Gear and find a self-destruct button or something..?”

    Blaze nods. “Right. If there’s no button, then we’ll have to sabotage it manually.” They continue on and up to the suspending bridge above SUN. Angel leans over to check if they are directly over it, but slips and falls over. “Angel!” Blaze reacts quickly and grabs her tail, but he gets pulled down with her. He spreads his wings and lowers them both gently to the ground. Unfortunately, Celestia and the others down below heard his yell and are now staring at him.

    Of course Celestia is least happy. “What?! That stupid spy was wrong...” She grabs her radio. “Rarity..you better answer....?” She turns to her guards when she hears her voice coming from one of their radios and her eyes narrow at Rarity. Rarity pushes a few buttons on her disguising device and her disguise disappears. “Sorry Celestia..but I’m not afraid anymore.”

    Grey Rainbow is staring at her from next to Celestia. “R....Rarity..?” Celestia whacks her. “Focus you fool! Get the idiots before they do anything!” Rainbow hesitates, but turns and heads for Blaze and Angel. “....I told you never to come back....”

    “I...I don’t care..! Rainbow Dash..you have no reason to work for Celestia...”

    “Why the hell not?! I have nothing else to lose...nopony left to care about but myself. I am going to end this..!” She rushes them, swords in hooves. Before Blaze can say anything, Angel had taken out her knife as well as snagged Blaze’s. She uses them to block both of Rainbow’s blades. “I..won’t..let..you..do this..!”

    Blaze steps forward. “Rainbow Dash...your friends aren’t dead. You need to listen..” He takes off his earpiece and throws it to Rainbow. She pushes Angel away and hesitantly puts it on. “W...What..?”

    “Dashie?!”

    “RAINBOW DASH YOU GOSH DARN FOOL!!!”

    “...What...what is this..?! You...Pinkie Pie..I saw you....and Applejack...”

    Blaze takes his knife back and moves closer. “Nopony to care about? Nothing to lose? These are your best friends.” Fluttershy also speaks up. “There is a reason you were the Element of Loyalty. You were most loyal to us, your most wonderful friends..til the very end.”

    Rainbow felt..happy? She didn’t know. She was crying. A lot. She drops her swords. “I’m...so sorry..”

    “No...ENOUGH!!! I am going to end this whether you like it or not!!!” Celestia angrily takes off into the air and flies up to the head of the Metal Gear. Several nearby scientists yell for her attention. “Princess wait! It isn’t finished! ....!” They quickly scatter as the mech comes to life, with Celestia at the wheel.

    “All of you will perish here..I will be sure of it!”
