"I'm telling you, Twilight! They're plotting against us! We have to send a letter to Celestia!" Rainbow exclaimed and slammed her hoof into the floor. The rainbow maned pegasus had barged in the door and began shouting about the humans and that they were going to attack us.
"Don't be silly, Rainbow. The Soviets would never do such a thing. They're a peaceful nation." Twilight said and took a sip out of her tea cup and read a few lines of a book in front of her.
"Thats what they want us to believe. I saw it! They had a giant map with various lines on in their big tent! There were also strange machines, placed all around and were aimed at Canterlot!"
"You were in their base? Rainbow! This is a serious deal. If we do something to make them not trust us, they could cancel the entire trade partnership!" Twilight closed the book hastily and looked at Rainbow with a scowl.
"Don't do this Twilight. You of all people should know that trusting your friends is important." Rainbow stared back at her.
Twilight looked away into the ground, deep in thought. She remained such for a few seconds until she looked at Rainbow Dash again.
"Okay, I trust you. But if we are going to send a letter of warning to Celestia, we need proof. We can't blindly accuse them of plotting against us." Twilight said.
"How do you propose we get that?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, we perhaps should try getting our hooves on that map you were talking about, but that might be hard, its in their command tent. They control all the work force and give out orders from there, so there will be people inside there at all times."
Rainbow sat down and thought about it.
"Maybe a distraction?" She exclaimed.
"Rainbow, you're a genius!" Twilight said, stroking Rainbow's ego.
"I Am?.. I mean of course I Am! I'm the one and only Rainbow Dash!" She struck a heroic pose. Twilight rolled her eyes and walked over to the window. The day was beginning to dwindle and the sun had started its descent.
"If we do it during the night, I think we have much better odds." Twilight stated.
"Yeah, No sweat. Just let me go all ninja on their flanks. They won't notice a thing!" Rainbow let her ego shine.
'I hope this goes well.' Twilight thought with concern.
Vladivostok Harbor
A truck sped down the concrete roads of Vladivostok down towards the dock. Inside sat the highly decorated Admiral Stepanov Yumashev. Stepanov had been sweating ever since he stepped on board the train in Moscow and were sped across the country in only a few days, thinking it must be extremely important seeing has he hasn't been told why yet.
The truck pulled to a stop at the docks. Stepanov opened the door and was temporarily blinded by the light. He opened his eyes.
The lone captain stood stunned at the concrete dock. He closed his eyes several times to ensure he wasn't dreaming, even tried pinching himself. Nothing worked.
In front of him, at the dock was the legendary soviet Kirov-class cruiser that supported the soviet troops during the Siege of Sevastopol and the Kerch-Feodosiya operation. The big white letters on the side showed it's name. MOLOTOV.
The captain could simply stand and gawk at the amazingly big ship.
"Impressive, isn't it admiral?" An unknown voice said. Stepanov turned around, seeing a technician.
"Welcome to your new ship." He grinned.
"W-What?...." Was the only thing the Admiral managed to say.
"I am Head-Technician Arseny. Come with me, admiral. I will explain." Arseny said with a grin and began walking. The admiral followed without hesitation.
Close to the Tunguska Base
"Quiet down, Rainbow..." Twilight whispered to and looked the mare known as Rainbow Dash with as scowl, who was hiding next to her. Twilight popped out with her binoculars once again from behind the bush and looked at the various scientists and soldiers walking around.
"Alright, get ready to dash for the command tent." She closed her eyes and her horn glowed a faint purple. The tree on the far side of the base caught fire. She opened her eyes and saw as the flames climbed higher and higher on the lone tree. Many of the humans ran out of their tents and started to put it out.
"Now!" She hissed and sprinted across the compound, towards the now empty command tent with Rainbow right behind her. They ran into the tent and looked across the insides, various maps over the entire walls, and a big map on a table in the middle of the tent. She trotted quickly over to it and gasped at what she saw. Rainbow soon walked to her side and looked at it.
"Rainbow... I know what this is..." She bit her lip. "...these are attack plans. They look a bit different from the ones I have seen, but it's looking startingly close to the plan the griffons tried to take Canterlot with during the First Griffon-Pony War." She looked around quickly before hastily ripping the edges off the spikes that held it open and rolled it.
*CLI-CLICK.* Twilight froze, as did Rainbow.
"Spies, eh?" A male voice sounded behind the two. "Turn around, dog." Twilight slowly and shakily turned around, immediately staring down the barrel of a PPSh-41.
"Think you could spoil out plan, dog!?"
Rainbow gritted her teeth. 'I'm not a dog!' She spun around, not giving the guard even time to react. She delivered her hoof straight into his leg, and it emanated a sickly crack. The man fell down to the ground, yelling out in pain. Rainbow stuffed her hoof into his mouth and looked at him with fire in her eyes. "I am not a dog!" She delivered another blow to the side of his head, at his temple and he fell unconscious.
Twilight was awestruck. "R-Rainbow..." Rainbow looked to Twilight. "Come on, we need to go!" Rainbow sprinted out of the tent. Twilight, acting entirely on instinct and curiosity, grabbed the dangerous weapon, vaulted it over her neck and ran after Rainbow. They ran across the camp once again, still seeing that the rest of the guards and scientists were desperately trying to put out the fire, and they seemed to be doing it rather effectively, using some sort of hoses that sprayed water.
She didn't have any more time to look at it before she run into the bushes that surrounded the compound, and towards Ponyville.
A/U note.
Alright, Instead of trying to get long chapters, I decide to go for short but sweet instead. I just can't pump out 3000+ word chapters. I have no Idea how people even do it.
