Coming Eventually: The Blades of Celestia · 3:09am Aug 21st, 2017
Greetings Gotham, Joker here! Well, just thought I'd drop in and say that the band is back together! That's right, VampDash and I are working together again. The project is entitled "The Blades of Celestia." In this story, Rainbow Dash, Rarity Belle, and Applejack are agents of a clandestine black ops group known as "The Blades of Celestia," who basically kill corrupt politcians and things like that. Here's what you can expect:
1. This version of Equestria is one big city with futuristic technology called "Neo Equestria."
2. Shippings include TwiDash, Spikejack, and a third shipping that's completely and utterly looney.
3. Fluttershy is one of the villains. It was VampDash's idea. If it helps, think of her as Fluttershy with Iron Will's definition of assertiveness. It's in a AU, so anything is possible.
4. Not a crossover.
Also, here's a very special trailer that VampDash and I whipped up. It's non-canon with this AU, so yeah. Roll film!
It was a rather nice dusk evening at the home on one Amadeus Blueblood. Actually? Scratch that. It was a really nice day in general. A few hours ago he moved some rather important items today. And soon in about… oh... five hours he would get a ‘surprise’ notification that they were stolen. Just as he had planned it. And soon he would earn more money from the weapons deals that happened in the streets as most runners have to go through someone on his, or rather his idiotic son’s, employ.
Amadeus walked out onto his balcony, glass of wine in his hand, and overlooked the vast metropolis of a city that was Neo Equestria. This city was the very product of centuries of progress, beginning almost around the same time as the first Blueblood had taken Princess Celestia’s hand in marriage. Though he, his father, and ancestors had been “honorable,” he had long since realized that all the honor in the world wasn’t going to get you respect. No, wealth, power, and fear were the keys to attaining respect. Sure, his father would be “ashamed” of him but that’s precisely the reason he had him poisoned. And the very reason he had his son go through his… lessons, for lack of a better term.
However in his arrogance… he never heard the vent in his bedroom having it’s screws gently removed. The vent itself was about to drop but a glove hand stopped it from hitting the ground harshly. Instead it gently lowered it so as it doesn’t make a sound. The figure then slinked out of the ventilation shaft and landed quietly on the carpet floor of the mansion and looked around, allowing the light from the moon to shine on them.
The figure seemed to be a female and wore a black suit of form-fitting body armor that provided enhancements as well as provided protection from most weapons and had a black fabric hood attached as well. On her head was a black ski mask with two holes for her eyes, concealed by green thermal goggles, and one for her mouth so that she could breathe easier. On her feet she wore a pair of black leather boots that happened to conceal hidden blades. On a belt attached to her suit was an assortment of weapons, including a collapsible blaster rifle, dual blaster pistols, a storage cube, and several knives for either throwing or slitting the throats of her victims.
Silently, the figure pulled out the storage cube and typed in a command. The cube produce an old rag and a bottle of chloroform. Pouring a pinch of the chloroform onto the rag, the figure made her way silently towards Amadeus. Like a panther that had found the perfect prey she pounced and covered his mouth and nose with the rag. Thinking quickly she kicked his legs out from under him and made sure he couldn’t fight back, or at least not as much, as he breathed in the chemicals.
“Amadeus Blueblood. You have failed your kingdom.” She whispered in his ear like a hiss. “For the crime of selling illegal weapons… your sentence is death.” As he heard her say that his eyes finally became heavy and he passed out. Checking his breathing to ensure he wouldn’t wake up anytime soon she hurried over and wrote out some cheesy suicide note that would befit his ego. She then hurried on over to Amadeus and hefted him up. Moving him to be sitting of the edge of the balcony… and then simply pushed, letting gravity do the rest of the dirty work.
Distantly, she heard several loud crashes as Amadeus’ lifeless body land on several speeders before she heard the distant smack of a body slamming against the pavement.
The job done, the figure lowered her hood and pulled off her mask, revealing the face of a young mare with a sky blue coat, rose colored eyes, and a rainbow patterned mane. Pressing a button on her suit, a pair of sky blue pegasi wings appeared on her back. The mare then typed in a command on her cube, causing her wrist communicator to appear from it. Turning the device on, Rainbow punched in a number. The dial tone came from it before a female voice answered.
Hello? the voice asked.
“Hey, babe, I wanted to see what you were doing for dinner tonight. There’s this new movie out tonight called Only You, and I was wondering if you maybe want to go and see it.”
That sounds amazing but I was making your favorite casserole tonight. BUT if you don’t want it then I’m sure Tank will-
“Ah you know it’ll be out in theaters tomorrow too. It can wait.” She told her with a smile. The two said ‘I love you’ before hanging up. Rainbow then punched in a second number.
Yes, Agent Dash? said the disguised voice of Rainbow’s boss, known only as The Swordbearer.
“Mission accomplished, sir,” said Dash as she made her way back towards the vent she’d entered the building in.
Good. Now, get back to base for debriefing. Then, you can go home and spend time with your marefriend. said Swordbearer.
“Yes, sir,” said Rainbow as she pulled her mask back on, hid her wings again, and pulled up her hood before making her escape.
Stay perky.
This looks good, and I'm looking forward to reading it, Joker.
Not fond of the SpikeJack pairing (like, at all), but it's your story.
I just hope you get further than a chapter or three with this one.
sounds like it will be fun.
