Metal Gear Pony: Day or Night

~Chapter 4: The Cyborg~

~Outside the secret research facility~

The strange blue mare gives a loud whistle and suddenly more ponies in similar uniforms jump out of the forest, levitating semi-autos in their magic, and surround Blaze. “So, you must be the soldier they sent to investigate....You look more like an amateur to me.”

Blaze glares at her, but brushes off the insult. “What’re you supposed to be..some sort of wannabe soldier?”

One of the soldiers growls. “Don’t talk that way about the boss that way!”

The mare gives him a look telling him to shut up. “I am the Great and Powerful Trixie! But it doesn’t really matter since you’re not going to live long enough to spread my greatness.” She smirks, obviously satisfied with owning him.

“Great and Powerful..? More like Powerfully Annoying.” He begins to reach for his knife, but Trixie jabs the gun against his head.

"Hah! You think you can take on all of us with just a knife? This is insulting. I might’ve been more impressed had they sent of team of experts. This is ridiculous!" She flips her gun a little before holstering it. "You boys take care of him. Not worth my time...!”

She jumps at the sound of a gunshot and one of her ponies drop to the ground, dead. After several more shots, the rest of them suffer the same fate. Trixie quickly uses her magic to draw her guns.

But before she can take aim, something drops down behind her and puts a knife to her neck. “Please drop the guns...” Comes the soft voice from behind her.

Trixie growls and drops the guns. “How did you get here without anypony knowing?!”

Another pony, this one bigger with a scarf covering half his face, drops down beside Blaze. “Not important. Tell us, how did you knew this pony was going to be here?”

“The Great and Powerful Trixie does not snitch...! H-Hey..!” The pony behind her presses the knife against her neck more. “You..! ...I’ll only say, you have a spy amongst your ranks...There's no way in Tartarus you'll ever figure out who!” She laughs and uses her magic to teleport away completely.

The pony who was behind her sighs and puts the knife away. “I never thought she would do something like this...”

The taller pony pulls his scarf down. “There’s nothing we can do about it now Angel.”

Blaze is shocked when he sees the pony standing next to him is none other than Big Bro, AKA Shining Armor, the soldier who went missing. “Big Bro!? How..what...!” He finally takes a good look at the other pony to see who it is. "Ahh...A-Angel!?”

Angel, AKA Fluttershy, smiled when she saw him. “Oh, Flame-Tail..! Its so wonderful to see you again. Oh...I-I’m sorry.  We’re supposed to be using code names..."

“Nn...Right, mind is Blaze...Okay, this is perfect. Bro, Angel. I was sent here by the Princesses to gather information on this new weapon Celestia is working on. I was also told to find you two if possible. This makes half my mission done. Do you know where the scientists of this place went?”

Bro shakes his head. “No, but we do know more about this weapon. Lead us to the pick-up point. We will explain everything when we get back to HQ."

Blaze sighs, but salutes. “Right. It is better than nothing I guess. This way.”

Blaze, Angel, and Bro then begin heading north, through another half a mile of forest, until they reach a large cliff with a river running through the bottom and a bridge going across.

    “It’ll be right on the other side of this bridge, in a clearing a quarter mile into the forest.”

They begin crossing the bridge until they get halfway through. Bro is the first to spot somepony crossing from the other side. As the pony gets closer, the sky starts to change. Dark clouds form and it begins to rain. “What is this..?”

Blaze pulls out his knife. “I don’t know, but I smell trouble.”

The pony stops a few feet from them and they notice quite a few things off about it. The pony is a Pegasus in a grey, full body suit of cybernetic armor, helmet and mask included. It also has two swords strapped to its back. Even its wings were cybernetic.

Blaze was the first to step forward. “Who are you? ...!"

With a flash of thunder and lightning, Blaze and Bro both find themselves being thrown off the bridge and into the river below.

Meanwhile, Fluttershy regains her own sight to find herslef being held over the edge by the cyborg. “P-Please...”

“...” The cyborg hesitates for but a moment, as if contemplating its actions. But it eventually turns its head away and drops her down with the other two. It then spreads its wings and takes off toward the South.
