As the Rainbooms looked through the library, they were having a hard time, row by row, book by book, but the Rainbooms have had no luck in finding anything on the operatives.

“Well this was a bust Sunset, we’ve look through everything but there’s nothing!” Rainbow complained throwing the book she held away.

“But I’m sure we’ll find something!” Sunset tells her friends, but in her mind ‘What did Flash mean, by come to the library to find about the operatives’ she thought.

But soon interrupting the Rainboom’s search was the two leaders of the CHS Security Team and CPA Security Team.

“And that something has arrived, and by the look of this place it couldn’t have come at a better time” The CPA Security leader tells everyone, while The CHS Security Leader puts down a laptop and turns it on.

“Wait, before we trust you, you need to tell us who in tarnation you two are?” Applejack tells the two operatives.

“Just call me Pathfinder and he’s Crystal” The CHS operative states, but Rainbow and Pinkie start bursting out laughing.

“You’re names are Pathfinder and Crystal?! That is the funniest names anyone could have!” Pinke Pie laughs as she speaks, however the two Operatives remained silent.

“What no response? Cat got ya tongue?” Rainbow asked still filled with laughter.

“They’re not our real names, they’re our callsigns and you’re not gonna know what our real names our” Crystal responds.

“Look, Flash wanted to tell only you lot who we are and since he’s a good friend of mine who I’ve trusted for years, I’m willing to tell you lot” Pathfinder explains.

The laughter soon stopped, and a question started to run through their minds, ‘How does Flash know about the Security Operatives?’.

“Wait, how does Flash Sentry know about you guys?” Rarity asks the two operatives.

“Well he should, he used to be a Security Operative” Pathfinder explains plainly, causing everyone’s jaw to drop

“Wait hold up a minute here! Are you meaning to tell us, that Flash Senry was a security operative?” Applejack asked.

“Yep and it seems like you lot are having difficulty believing that one of the school’s best guitar players was once a security operative” Pathfinder responds to Applejack.

“But Flash Sentry and a security operative… that doesn’t mix!” Rainbow Dash shouts, trying to put the two together.

“Also if Flash was a security operative, how come he isn’t one now?” Rarity asked putting her hands on her hips.

“Actually that has a simple answer” Pathfinder responds and just shoots a glare at Sunset Shimmer to which Crystal does as well, causing Sunset to be shocked.

“Wait… me? How did I cause Flash to stop being an operative?” Sunset asked.

“From what Pathfinder and the others told me, because of your lust for popularity back in the day and your one sided relationship, you kept him from completing undercover operations, and if you don’t understand that, it’s when he goes around like any other student and looks out for anything suspicious” Crystal explains.

“Getting back on track, Sunset would always get in the way of Flash’s operations, with either dates or other reasons, when three incidents occurred which could have been prevented, Flash was deemed responsible and because of it he was dishonourably discharged from the Security Team on the grounds of dereliction of duty, despite our attempts to convince Celestia and Luna otherwise to organise a temporal suspension” Pathfinder explains.

The Rainbooms didn’t know what to think, however Fluutershy decided to break the silence by asking “Did Flash enjoy being a security operative?”.

“He was one of the best Fluttershy, but that wasn’t the nail in the coffin” Crystal explained.

“What do you mean?” Rarity asked.

“You know the three incidents that were caused? After launching an investigation, it turns out Sunset was the cause of them, once Flash knew about that, he felt betrayed, hurt and above all broken, later he would break up with Sunset, despite her attempts of reasoning” Pathfinder explained.

The Rainbooms look at Sunset who kept her head down and a slight tear was growing in her eyes, however the security operatives decided to show the bright side.

“That being said, we are happy that you have changed for the better for the school, and you have been working hard to stop all the magical interferences, and Flash also shares that mentality with the rest of us” Pathfinder states, which makes Sunset make a small smile.

“But wait a minute, if you guys are security guards, then where were you guys, during the Fall Formal and the Battle of the Bands?!” Rainbow Dash asked rather pointedly.

Pathfinder soon access the laptop to explain the reason why the team never showed up, “To put simply, when Vice Principal Luna told us the fall formal would be postponed to the following day, we thought we’d provide the security for the Primary School’s dance and auction, however we were never told that the Fall Formal was back on schedule, so when we got the call from Celestia to return back to CHS, we had to rush back there, since our transports weren’t gonna be around when we got the call, so when we arrive at the street that lines up to the entrance, we saw that Twilight and the others handled the situation just fine, so we gave the message to Celestia that we were returning to our previous post”.

“Hang on! How do you know Princess Twilight?” Sunset asked raising an eyebrow.

“We’ve known you and Twilight weren’t from this world before you lot found out, because we have overwatch teams that shadow the entrance and we also made sure Celestia was fooled to believe Twilight was a new student” Pathfinder states.

“Wait, if there was fooling around, why wasn’t I included, and how did you fool our great Principal Celestia?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Fabricated documents, all done by us before Principal Celestia could notice” Pathfinder explains simply.

“Ohhhhh, but that still leaves out one thing, the Battle of the Bands” Pinkie Pie adds.

“Well, from what I’ve been told by the CHS operatives, they saw the rapid change in the students, when they went from kind and co-operative to hostile and independent on a selfish degree” Crystal states.

“Once we saw Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna became under the influence of the Dazzlings, we knew our leadership was compromised, so I activated Security Act Protocol 17 ‘In any event Principal or secondary leadership is compromised, all operatives are to cease all active operations and return to base of operations’ however we saw that Flash was infected by the Dazzlings influence, however he managed to break his control briefly and advise us to not hear anything the Dazzlings sing or say, we took up his advice and once we saw that Vinyl Scratch or DJ-Pon 3 was not affected because she was wearing headphones, we knew we had to stop the Dazzlings, but you lot had the situation under control, so our mission was something else” Pathfinder explains.

“And the something else was?” Applejack asked, folding her arms.

“Before I show, let me ask you something; any of you know what happened to the Dazzlings after the Battle of the Bands?” Pathfinder asks the Rainbooms, to which no of them were able to answer. Soon Pathfinder talks to the laptop “Access archives, Subject: Operation Stolen Note” and the laptop soon plays what Operation Stolen Note is about and what it involves with the Dazzlings.





(Several Weeks earlier – During the Finals of the Battle of the Bands)

The members of the CHS Security Team, begin to prepare for operations, they start to put on their tactical gear and loading their weapons, and soon they report to the Base of Operation war room, where Pathfinder prepares to brief the team.

“Alright listen up; everyone is now at the community stage, near the town’s football grounds, our mission is to capture the Dazzlings for interrogation, the original plan was to have the Rainbooms defeat them, and we capture them, however Avatar has reported that Trixie and the Illusions have imprisoned the Rainbooms before the show, so we’ll have to go with situation that’s going to have us to use snipers and ghillie suits, so here is the plan; we’ll split into three teams, one sniper team and two strike teams, the sniper comprised of Butcher, Vincent and Lambert and Oxide will provide overwatch and if necessary execute the sniper mission, also Butcher will provide the drone feed to the two strike teams, which will be led by me and Avatar” Pathfinder briefs the team.

“On that note, Team One will be comprised of Pathfinder, Sentinel, Paladin, Victor, Misfit and Granite. Team Two will be me, Warhammer, X-ray, Spectre and Disciple” Avatar explains the teams.

“Alright, also remember do not take off your headsets, unless you want to become another of the Dazzling’s infected minions” Pathfinder warned.

“Yes sir!” the operatives saluted and soon made the final checks and soon leave the base of operations





(Later – Outside the Community Stage)

The security operatives move towards the community stage, with the sniper team heading to the hills and set up the snipers and the drone feed, while Pathfinder and Avatar lead the strike teams’ move into position.

“Pathfinder 0-1, this is Butcher 0-7, we’re setting into position, drone feed will be up win 30 seconds” Butcher tells Pathfinder.

“Understood Butcher, tell Vincent and Lambert to start scouting the stage and Oxide to set security” Pathfinder orders his teammate.

“Copy that Pathfinder, Butcher 0-7 out”.

Soon Vincent and Lambert soon find the Rainbooms freed from their imprisonment and prepared for a musical showdown and one of the other hills.

“Pathfinder, this is Lambert, I have eyes on the Rainbooms, they’ve seem to be ready to have a showdown with the Dazzlings” Lambert explains to Pathfinder.

“Understood Lambert, keep up posted. Alright listen up, looks like the Rainbooms are ready to take on the Dazzlings, but we will continue the mission as planned, Avatar; you and Team Two take the left side of the stage, while Team One and I will take the right, let’s move!” Pathfinder orders his fellow operatives.

Soon the team went into waiting as the Rainbooms and the Dazzlings battled, however it wasn’t without any wonders and a few of the security operatives stared in awe as the Rainbooms created the massive alicorn creation to defeat the Dazzlings, soon the sniper team tells the strike teams that the Dazzlings are defeated, which got the operatives into position and ready, and soon when the Dazzlings are jeered off the stage, the three sirens soon get surrounded by the security operatives with their firearms pointed at them.

The Dazzlings raised their arms into the air and were going to shout that they’re come quietly, but Misfit, Granite and Victor, tackle the Dazzlings onto the ground, binding their hands then their mouths to prevent them from causing any attention, soon the three get their heads into head sacks and are taken away.

“Butcher 0-7, this is Pathfinder, HVTs captured, we’re done here, head back to base!” Pathfinder orders the sniper team.

“Understood Pathfinder, We’re RTB” Butcher responds and the sniper team heads back to base along with the strike teams.
