The Many Destinies of Sunset Shimmer

by ratedoni

The Pony of the Majesty 02

Besides the monitoring and sporadic testing that Sunset had to go through as the gust of the British secret service she was bored. Usually if she felt bored she began to read or work on one of her projects, but being inside a clear plastic cell was not something conductive to her current mood. She had to be thankful that everything was resolved quickly and beyond some uncomfortable parts –the handcuffs were a bother- it wasn’t as unpleasant as she might have thought from watching old sci-fi movies.

Thankfully her mood began to change when she saw the leader of MI6 accompanied by an interesting man at her side. The plump, severe woman was a scold as always but it seemed as if the man was cut out directly from an iceberg. His cold blue eyes made the temperature drop at least ten degrees at least.

Seeing M walk to the front of her little prison made Sunset a little weary of what her future would bring. From being an almost normal teenager girl that went to high School and sometimes fixed a magical mischief to a forced agent of one of the biggest secret agencies of the world in search of an extremist and terrorist to save the world. If she survived this she was sure no one would believe her.

“Your time to start working with MI6 begins now Phoenix, you are free to leave your cell.” the woman said making Sunset raise an eyebrow in surprise. Did the woman already knew what she had done already or was she reading her wrong? By the look of impatience that the woman had Sunset realized that she had been busted.

Without another word Sunset quickly took off her handcuffs with ease and simply pushed the door of her plastic cell to open it. Just watching the face of the other researchers and operatives of MI6 was worth a lot more than her simple freedom right now.

“How… no, WHEN did you know?” Sunset asked M leaving the now useless handcuffs in the palm of the stretched hand of M as this one simply looked at her like a mother who just caught her kid lying.

“Since the moment you were brought into MI6 you never showed worry or fear and after checking some of your belongings it was clear that you knew more about escaping that one might thought. In fact, the only time you showed any kind of worry was when we took a sample of your blood. Care to enlighten us in your abilities Phoenix?”

“Is not that big of a deal, I just watched a guy do that in TV and researched how to do it.” Sunset said blushing a bit at the way the other people in the room were looking at her.

“And the door of your cell?” One of the guards asked still baffled at the ease in which Sunset opened a cell door that could withstand the impact of an automatic weapon.

“You guys didn’t check very well.” Sunset said before taking something from inside her long and wavy hair. The small square device seemed to be some kind of Bluetooth wireless that left most people surprised “I used it to hack onto the main door to deactivate the alarms and lock.” she said getting redder and redder as the second passed and her explanation left her guards with a sense of shame and pride for some reasons. To think that someone so young could not only maintain her calm but be able to do something like that in the middle of what could be a hostile zone if she was found really took guts and brains.

“And where pray tell did you found something like this? Nowhere in our records show you as a hacker.” M said wanting to know more about her newest agent. Meanwhile, the cold man haven’t talked, he just simply watched Sunset with a neutral expression on his face.

“I made it myself with the help of a friend.”

“Would that friend be Twilight Sparkle?”

“Yeah, she… was being a little paranoid after the whole fiasco at the Friendship Games and convinced me to create a smaller version of her device. I ended up creating a wireless transmitter that could jam signals. Guess Twilight was properly paranoid this time.” Sunset said nervously smiling at what could be her new boss but M simply arched an eyebrow.

“Indeed, and I give thanks that you are not on the other side. It would have been a shame to see your abilities and cunning used by terrorist or worst people.” not to mention that Sunset was sure now that if she had went on with her plans of world domination, the last thing she would have seen would have been the crosshair of an MI6 weapon “In any case, this is the man you will working with, agent 007”

“Double zero?”

“It means that I have a license to kill” the man with a voice that seemed as cold as his appearance. Sunset could only imagine what it must feel to meet this man in the wrong circumstances, like with him holding a gun to your head.

“So I should just call you 007? Is that your name?” Sunset asked still awed by the man’s presence.

“My name is Bond, James Bond.” For some reason the redhead felt as if that line had been practiced for a long time but it was still quite the introduction in her opinion.

“If you are quite done with introductions then we can talk about something really interesting that we found in your apartment before my agents left Canterlot” One of the researchers then opened up a silver briefcase and inside Sunset found one thing that she had found extremely beautiful and useful. Her Sig Pro 2022.

Rarity had basically screamed at her when she took it home and much to her distaste Applejack and Rainbow were head over heels in excitement at the handgun. Rainbow because she thought it was an awesome weapon, not that she wanted to touch it or get close to it until she knew how to handle a gun, say what you want about Rainbow but she wasn’t stupid enough to gamble with her life. Meanwhile, Applejack knew all about guns considering her grandfather was an army veteran and her dad usually took her on hunting trips from time to time.

“Care to explain us why we found this thing in your apartment?” M’s voice was stoic as ever and she seemed to be only asking how the weapon came to her hands instead of why she even had it considering Canterlot’s rather strict law in handguns. Hunting rifles were one thing but to be able to get her hand on a gun like that it wasn’t normal.

“Two months ago a guy tried to rob me after one of my friend’s party. My neighborhood wasn’t the nicest but there had been no assaults so it took me by surprise. The guy suddenly found himself empty handed” Sunset had found that day that under really stressful situations she was capable of teleporting objects “he was captured a few days later when he began to scream about witchcraft and aliens in the city.”

Whatever the case may have been the three then walked to the shooting range once the agents found out that Sunset had little to no training in shooting. She was capable of taking care of a gun, which was obvious considering the good conditions of the gun.

After watching James use his Walther PPK on the unarmed paper silhouette, Sunset found herself intrigued by the way the man moved and never flinched after every shot, always looking at the front as if he was looking at someone before he put a bullet through the person.

Then came her turn and she was quite amazed by these people considering they were giving her a license to be armed. It was clear how much they were relying on her and giving her the tools to not only help them save the world but probably find a home in this place. If that was the plan then she had to say M was as good as her when it came to planning.

After putting several holes in a new paper target she quickly took the magazine off of her weapon and the bullet on the chamber for safety reasons just like James had done before her. One of the agents in charge of the shooting range seemed to be quite amazed at her shooting ability.

“You look about the same age as my daughter and you can shoot as well as any of our agents Miss…” the agent said obviously wanting to know the name of the redhead.

“Shimmer, Sunset Shimmer.” she said while M simply glared at the man at her side as if already blaming him for that phrase.

“She not only took your introduction but she also mimicked the way you shoot. I shudder to think she will mimic the way you go about missions too 007.” Fir his part, James could only smirk at her boss’ reaction.

I like the story and yest at the same time I don't.
It's jsut Sunset seem she being forced to work for them. M16 is a tough if not brutal and ruthless group, not that i blame them.
With who and what they deal with, still hard for me to see Sunset having to work for them and now having to leave everyone she loved behind now.

What's the spear counterpart of a lady killer? I'm sure that's what Sunset is going to be. I knew that she was good at lock picking, but the Daredevil episode made me think of her hacking ability.

I REALLY want to see a spinoff story of this! After all it should have all the good things action, mystery, clop (shown or not)! And I have a feeling Sunset would be better at getting the girls than poor old James.
