Pony Hideout

4 miles from 2Fort inside a secret hideout
Rainbow Dash and Twilight walked up to large hill on the edge of the forest. On top of the large hill was a concrete bunker that was had certain parts covered in moss or dirt. There were long holes within the bunker that acted kind of like windows to shoot out of. When they climbed the hill, they noticed that most of the holes had a sentry gun with two miniguns and a rocket launcher on each. They were known as "level 3" sentry guns.
"Applejack had some time while you three were gone." Twilight explained. "She finally figured it out."
"Great! Now we won't be breached as easily as we would have been." Rainbow Dash said, impressed on Applejack's skills.
"We weren't easy to find in the first place anyways. RED spy explained that this place wasn't known to very many mercenaries."
"Good."
After about a minute on walking up the hill, they finally reached the bunker. There was a tunnel in the front of the bunker that led right under it. The two ponies climbed down it and walked down the narrow entrance. It was actually a pretty short trip to the end, where there was a ladder up into the base. They climbed up it and were greeted by Applejack and Fluttershy, who were standing on both sides of the hole.
"'Bout time yall got back." Applejack said.
"I was really worried about you two!" Fluttershy breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the two in one piece. "But... where are the other two?"
"They'll be here in a while." Rainbow Dash told Fluttershy once she got up the ladder. "Afterall, I am faster than Pinkie and Rarity."
"Oh, good. Are you two hurt?" Fluttershy asked, she then grabbed her medi gun in her mouth and was ready to shoot any of the two to heal their injuries.
"I'm fine. But I saw Rainbow Dash getting punched in the face repeatedly." Twilight said, pointing to the rainbow pegasus.
"Yeah, I could maybe use a dose. But other than that, I'm fine." Rainbow Dash admitted.
Fluttershy pulled the lever on the medi gun and shot the pegasus with a red beam of light that had health crosses appearing in the stream of light.
Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and looked up to relax as she was being treated to the nice, cold wave of health that streamed right into her. "Ah... that feels really nice!"
"You do deserve it after a hard days work!" Applejack said, smiling at her friend. "And I see you've got the briefcase. Let's hope that it contains what we are looking for."
"I'll take that." A voice said that seemed to startle everyone. They all saw RED spy walk in from his room. He was wearing some shades and a black, fancy fedora. He smiled when he saw Rainbow Dash with the briefcase.
Rainbow Dash nodded slowly and nervously, as if she was intimidated by the spy's appearance. She walked up to him and handed him the intel, with the spy taking it happily and nodding at the pegasus. He then noticed how nervous Rainbow Dash was. "Oh, intimidated by my looks? Don't worry. I like wearing this stuff. It's actually very fitting with me, if you know what I mean. Always appearing as if I was on someone's side thanks to my disguise kit. The BLU team always mistakes me for a teammate with it, until it's too late." The spy had a wicked looking grin on his face as he was saying this.
"Um... okay..." Rainbow Dash said silently. With that, RED spy nodded and walked back into his room, closing the door behind him with a click right after it, as if he locked the door to make sure the ponies didn't enter.
"Still unhappy with Pinkie going into his room?" Rainbow asked.
"Doubt it. But if he was, he wouldn't be showing any signs of it." Twilight muttered. "Speaking of Pinkie, shouldn't she be arriving in a few minutes?"
"Pinkie isn't coming back." A familiar voice said. Everyone turned and saw Rarity standing against the wall, right next to the hole Rainbow and Twilight came up in.
"What? What do you mean she isn't coming back? Is she really that mad at me?" Rainbow asked.
"No. She isn't mad. Or at least... with you. She's mad at herself. I saw her crying next to the fence after you ran away. I'm guessing she thought you abandoned her as a friend. But that's not the point. While she was crying, two BLU mercenaries caught her off guard and captured her. She's held prisoner in 2Fort for all I know. I tried following them. But my "cloak and dagger" was running low on battery. So I had to wait a while before I could move again. I didn't want to risk getting a disguise on and being visible to everyone while following Pinkie's captors. It'd be too obvious that I was a spy. But anyways, I managed to track them to the top of the stair case down into their sewers before my cloak ran out. By the time I tried to follow them again, I saw the two in the sewers. Just the two of them, laughing. There was no Pinkie Pie with them. It couldn't make any sense. It's like she vanished into thin air, or they put her in a cage in the water outside of their fort. But they could have done that without going into the fort itself and throwing her into the river right outside of it."
Rainbow Dash had a look of guilt on her and looked down. She couldn't help but feel it was her fault for this. If she hadn't mentioned the incident to Pinkie, this probably never would have happened.
"They must have a secret entrance in their sewers then." Twilight said.
Rarity thought about it for a while before finally nodding. "Most likely they do. That's probably the only logical explanation on Pinkie's disappearance after that. I would've probably searched but... I didn't really feel comfortably on trying to go in there."
"Oh... I hope she's okay." Fluttsershy said nervously.
"We'll have to go back! We never leave our friends behind!" Applejack announced.
Rainbow Dash looked up to her friends and nodded. "I'll go alone!"
"What?!" All of her friends asked in union s the rainbow pony said this.
"It's my fault she got taken captive. I'm not going to let this burden any of you. I'm going by myself to make things right!"
"Now hold on there, Nelly." Applejack said, walking up to her friend. "Just because it's your fault doesn't mean we can't go. Pinkie is a friend to us all! We go together!"
"I'm not going to risk any of you getting killed for something that's my fault!" Rainbow Dash replied. "I'm going alone."
"Rainbow Dash, you do know that with more of us, none of us will die as easily as with just one of us." Twilight said, shaking her head to Rainbow's stubbornness.
Rainbow Dash shook her head. Tears seemed to well up in her eyes. "No... let me do this. Please." Everyone was surprised to see Rainbow Dash saying "please" about something like this. It's a very rare occasion to hear her say such a thing. "This is my fault. I want to fix it without the help of my friends. Please... let me do this alone."
Applejack sighed and hesitated, before finally nodding her head. "I say let her go. Anyone else agree?" She didn't sound like she meant it, but she managed to mutter every word of it.
"Well... you are a very loyal friend there, Rainbow Dash. I'll let you go alone if you really do insist on this." Twilight said, smiling.
"If you insist then Rainbow." Rarity said. "At least my hooves wouldn't get all icky from that sewer."
"Do... do be careful..." Fluttershy said silently. "We won't be able to help you... unfortunately."
"I'll be fine! Just trust me. I'll be back before you know it. And I'll be sure to bring our friend back. You can count on me!" Rainbow Dash said, saluting her friends, right before she jumped into the hole to run out into the forest again. This time, to save her very close friend.
