It had been a little over two months since Disarray had accepted the job as a god of chaos. However, even though they were supposed to be enemies, Twilight and Disarray still shared a strong sibling bond. If Twilight were honest with herself, she somewhat enjoyed Disarray’s constant small pranks around the castle. It was making her mentally quick on her hooves and forcing her to think tactically. The brain teasers she used to do every morning could be completed in a forth of the time now. Her memorization, which was already impressive, was now twice as good. Yes, she could feel herself growing mentally stronger everyday.
It was similar for Disarray. Matching minds with Twilight meant constantly innovating and coming up with something new and unexpected. He was constantly pushed beyond the limits of his imagination and creativity. He was always trying his best to think outside the box, and see things every way possible, and even personalize pranks to fit the prankee for maximum enjoyment.
Yes, the two weren’t enemies in the slightest. They enjoyed their battles of wits, it was fun for both. Twilight would even go so far as to admit that her baby brother made for a very decent rival.
So it was odd to her that this morning there was...well...nothing. Her door wasn’t enchantedly locked with the riddle of the day, she didn’t have to figure out a complex tile pattern to traverse the hallways, nor did she have to levitate herself through a maze of super slippery soap bubbles. There were no showers full of slime, or sentient slippers, or even singing pants. No, she woke and went to the kitchen to find Disarray calmly eating some breakfast.
“Nothing today?” asked Twilight. “I heard you mumbling about portals and thought you were going to use the crazy doors this morning”
Disarray smirked a little as Twilight poured herself a bowl of cereal. Since he stopped being her personal assistant she had to be more self sufficient. This meant cooking for herself, something Twilight was terrible at. The last time she tried to make oatmeal for herself it hardened into cement. The time before that it was so watery it was basically soup. The time before that she’d actually managed to burn the oatmeal. Needless to say, a bowl of cold cereal and maybe toast was the best she could manage on her own. At least she could make her own coffee.
“Nothing today sis. I’m going to have a very busy morning” replied the drake.
Twilight couldn’t help but give a smirk of her own “I was wondering why you were up so early. Since you stopped being my assistant you’ve really been sleeping in”
Disarray nodded and was about to respond but was cut off by a bright flash of blue.
“Princess Luna! What a pleasant surprise, what are you doing here?! Is something wrong?!” ask Twilight in a mild panic.
“Must something be the matter for me to want to visit? Am I not welcome otherwise?” asked Luna cooly.
“Wha-NO! You can come whenever you like! I didn’t mean to insinuate...I m-mean! I don’t want you to think...no! I-I mean….” stuttered Twilight, stumbling over her words.
Luna couldn’t hide a small chuckle that escaped her lips as she patted Twilight on the head. “Be at peace, I only jest. You can also stop with the ‘Princess’ thing. You are one too, and we are friends, you don’t need to call me such. However, to answer your question; in truth, I am here for Disarray”
“Me? Luna, if you’re upset about the salad prank, I already told you I’m not apologizing” the shadow drake said, finishing his breakfast.
“Oh no, I think back on those memories with great amusement. I will let you know, however, that those five lunar guard still walk funny” Luna replied, barely able to hide a giggle.
“No, I’m here on behalf of my sister” she added, gaining the attention of Twilight
“Princess Celestia? Why?” asked Twilight, concerned for her mentor.
“My sister is too prideful to ask this of you herself Disarray, but do you think you could give her some of your Candy of All Candies? She’d become rather obsessed with replicating it on her own as of late and to put it bluntly she’s gotten rather...bothersome” said Luna, giving an annoyed sigh every younger sibling could relate to.
Disarray had finished his breakfast and poofed into a black shirt and jeans “I’d love to but you’ll have to remind me later. I’m already late for some things I need to go, and then I have a meeting later that Maelstrom called. They seemed really excited now that they had employed six of us. Anywho, I got to go!”
The drake walked over to a nearly closet and opened the door, the sound of a roaring waterfall could be heard through the doorway as he hurried through, the door magically closing behind him.
“Wait! SIX?!” Twilight practically screamed, looking at the spot Disarray had been “Oh no…”
“So now you’re six versus six” smiled Luna “A full team versus a full team. If Maelstrom and the Masters of Mayhem hadn’t already shown themselves to be harmless fun pranksters, I’d be worried about Equestria’s future”
Twilight just shook her head.
“This can’t be happening. This can’t be happening. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! Why would Maelstrom need six extra individuals to face us??? I mean, I understand Disarray to an extent, he a young impressionable dragon and he knows us very well, but why do they feel they need the other five?”
Luna sighed and sat at the table with Twilight.
“It’s because Maelstrom isn’t like Discord. They’re much much older and don’t share Discord’s weaknesses; mainly his desire to always do things solo. They understand where true strength comes from, while Discord did not. Think about it Twilight, Discord greatest flaw was that he didn’t understand the magic and power of friendship and that’s why friendship was the key element to defeating him since...well, always. Maelstrom isn’t like that though, they not only understand friendship, but see it as a tactical necessity; as having it takes away your greatest advantage over Chaos”
Twilight, in response, groaned and banged her head against the table.
“So what do we do Luna?! Even without the magic of friendship on our side, Chaos can’t be more powerful than Harmony!!”
“Honestly, young Twilight, I don’t see what the grand issue is. Remember, the Masters of Mayhem are harmless pranksters, and Maelstrom seems more interested in having fun than causing any real problems”
“But Team Chaos is just so unpredictable! If we could find out who the other members were, we might be able form some sort of countermeasures. They seem young, around Dissaray’s age, so maybe we could just tell their parents”
Luna shrugged “Then it would seem the most logical course of action would be to figure out who the other members are”
“But it’s not that simple!” cried Twilight “Disarray is extremely loyal to his teammates and wont tell us who they are!”
“You’ll very intelligent Twilight Sparkle, you’ll figure it out eventually. Ah, yes, speaking of intelligence, this is for you” Luna said, poofing a sealed envelope into Twilight’s hands. “The ESS requests an update on your...projects, details are in the letter”
Twilight nodded and opened the letter, reading over it’s contents before using her magic to levitate and burn it.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me” said Luna, yawning “It may be your morning, but it’s my bedtime, so I’ll bid thee farewell. Do try to have a nice day Twilight”
And with that, the lunar princess teleported away, leaving Twilight with her thoughts. She decided to use the note from the ESS, the Equestrian Secret Service, to distract her from the whole Disarray thing.
The ESS was an elite top secret military agency composed of thee most powerful and highly trained spies in all of Equestria. Where Team Harmony is sent out to deal with monsters, powerful evil villains, and world ending threats, the ESS is sent out to stop underground criminal syndicates, crime rings, and terrorist organizations; all without the public’s knowledge.
Twilight herself was part of that powerful organization; heading the weapons R&D division. When she ascended to an alicorn, Celestia gave her the option to quit and focus solely on leading Team Harmony, but Twilight kept her position; primarily because she knew she was the best, and because she loved it so much.
Wait! That’s it! With her status as a princess, she could now order ESS agents and assign missions! If anypony could figure out who the rest of the Master’s of Mayhem were it was the ESS. No, specifically, it was him! The greatest secret agent the ESS ever had! He was the absolute best of the best!
Calmly, Twilight went back to her bedroom, locking the door behind herself. Giving a small smile she went to her personal bookshelf filled with rare finds and first editions. Her horn sparked to life as she funneled magic into several of the books, the crystals embedded into the spines glowing brightly before the whole bookshelf moved to the side revealing a secret room.
The room was filled with all sorts of half completed contraptions, scrolls and blueprints, and various crystals. Twilight walked up to a large crystal slab hanging from the wall, her magic bringing it to life as a face began to become clear on its surface.
“Hello Agent Blueblood”
Celestria’s nephew, known to be the whiniest, snobbiest, most spoiled brat in all of Equestria, smiled at her.
“Ah, Princess Twilight, you received my letter, yes? Good, a situation has arose so I won’t be able to personally retrieve the shipments. Please deliver the new tech to my second in command as soon as you can”
“I received your letter, yes. Luna delivered it herself. Also, a situation?” questioned Twilight “Report”
Blueblood nodded “Our recent intelligence informs us that one of the leaders of the terrorist organization known as Salvation has been making some rather large ripples in the Equestrian underground. We think they’re up to something big. Worse still, some of the nobles are starting to suspect that I am hiding something. While such things are common among the nobility, it's still rather bothersom to have my name circulating around the rumor mill for all the wrong reasons. I fear they will be watching me like a well trained hawk. It’s nothing too dire, but I’d rather not risk anything. Besides, my second in command is more than capable of safely delivering the weapons without being noticed. It’s urgent we get that new crystal tech”
“Blue…” Twilight said with a nod “I’ll do my best, you know that, but I’m not one to sacrifice quality for speed. I’ll work on finishing the new tech in a timely manner, but I’m not cutting corners”
Blueblood smiled “That’s why your tech is the best”
Twilight couldn’t help but blush a little at that and return the smile. “In the meantime, there’s something I need you to do for me. You know I still view myself as an agent, just like all of you, but I need to use my royal position for the first time. I, Princess Twilight Sparkle, formally request the aid of the Secret Service”
The master spy nodded “Of course Your Majesty, your orders?”
Twilight took a deep breath and explained.
“Ok Agent Blueblood. As you know, my younger brother, Spike Draco Sparkle aka Disarray, has sided with the being known as Maelstrom, the new god of chaos that took over after Discord retired and left the planet”
Blueblood nodded “I have read about some of that in the newspapers, yes. You all managing to constantly fight them off and hold fast to Harmony is truly admirable”
“Thank you Agent Blue. My point is he isn’t working alone. As you know he has a team helping him. Together they have dubbed themselves the Masters of Mayhem. Your orders are this; I need you to find out who the other members are, and collect any intelligence you can on them to report back to me. While we know and trust Disarray, these new mysterious characters could prove major threats, and we must be ready with countermeasures. I am giving you clearance to mobilize the entire Ponyville division if you feel it necessary”
The spy prince had a sweat drop on his forehead.
“You...um...are aware that we are currently dealing with three major terrorist organizations, right?”
“I know Blueblood, but I really need this information. If these other members can’t be trusted, we could have a bigger problem on our hands. Especially so if it turns out any of the members are in league with these organizations. Besides, you said you suspect the other nobiles may be watching you. A few days vacation in Ponyville and they'll move on to the next latest bit of gossip. I don’t mean to pull rank, but this is an order from your princess”
Blueblood sighed.
“I’ll gear up and be on my way post haste”
Twilight smiled and nodded, ending communications.
Blueblood sat alone with his thoughts, holding his communication screen which was cleverly disguised as a hand mirror. He sighed. ‘Oh come on, we’re soldiers, spies, assassins, not the fucking Guardians of Harmony! This has nothing to do with us, fighting the forces of chaos is their arena’ he thought to himself.
What to do, what to do. He firmly believed this was a waste of resources, but he couldn’t disobey a direct order from a princess. Wait! That’s it! He’ll have to go talk to both his and Twilight’s superior; Princess Celestia.
As always, he approached the throne room doors throwing a tantrum demanding for his auntie’s attention. He cut the line of noble already waiting for their turn to have an audience with the princess, he shoved the one that was already halfway through a boring speech out the throne room, and proceeded to whine and complain about how he was more important than any of them. Eventually Celestia gave a groan of annoyance, and ordered her guards to send everyone else away and leave them. Day court was done for the day so she could deal with her good for nothing nephew.
When they were finally alone, Celestia’s face softened and she smiled.
“Thanks for that Blueblood, I don’t know how much more of these nobles I could take”
“Oh auntie, I know exactly what you’re talking about.
They both shared a laugh before Celestia leaned in.
“So what’s the situation Agent Blueblood?”
“Leaving aside that we have enough evidence to start a formal investigation against both Fancy Pants and Spit Fire as two of the leaders of the terrorist organization Salvation, Twilight called me a little while ago and formally requested the help of the SS to find the identity of the Masters of Mayhem”
Celestia sighed and facepalmed “Seriously?...”
“Completely. So, how shall I proceed? Shall I listen or decline her? Your orders?”
Celestia remained silent for awhile before a small sly smile started to creep across her face.
“Well, Twilight is a princess now and that makes her your superior. I’m not going to undermine her authority by belaying her commands behind her back, so you are to proceed as she orders you to. However, whatever you find out, I am to receive a copy as well, understand? I expect a full report.
Blueblood saluted “As you wish, your agent obeys” he said before turning to leave.
“Oh, and before you leave...I have an extra mission for you as well Agent Blueblood” added Celestia. “Since you are going to most likely spy on Disarray and infiltrate his personal abode I require you to bring me a sample of his evil Candy of All Candies. It’s of the utmost importance that you complete this mission.
Blueblood raised a brow, but wisely decided not to say anything or ask to many questions. He was a soldier, a spy; he followed his orders, not questioned them.
With a final salute, he left to go back and get ready for his mission.
Back in ponyville, Disarray had been watching the newest member of the team. Rumble had been given the new name of Chimera. Like the others, his fur was dark grey, almost black. His eyes and slicked back mane were blue. He had two ram’s horns coming out of his head. Instead of the normal pony hooves, his were cloven. His oversized wings were both webbed and feathered simultaneously. Instead of hands, he had dragon claws. Instead of a normal pony’s tail, he had a long serpentine one. He wore patched up black shorts and a blue shirt with long oversized sleeves that were ripped at the shoulders and also covered in patchwork.
Chimera was currently squating down, listening to the whinings of a small green frog.
“No!...No way, are you serious?!.....She really did that?!.....mhm…..uh huh…..well that pony obviously deserves punishment!” he said, using his enhanced ability to talk to animals.
“You’re lucky you came across me. Don’t worry, Rum-I mean Chimera is here to help!”
“What’s the frog going on about?” asked Disarray curiously
“Diamond Tiara I think, she doesn’t know the pony’s name, but from the description I think it’s Diamond. That cruel mare found her hidey hole in the Rich’s garden pond and had a servant kick Froggy out of her beloved home. I mean, that pond had been there before the Rich’s even had their mansion built and Froggy’s family had been living in it for generations. Now in comes Diamond Tiara and just kicks her out, just like that. No, I can’t allow that to happen again! Not on my watch!”
Looking down at the small green frog, Chimera smiled “get ready”
Chimera took a deep breath and blew a blue mist over the frog, who instantly began to change. It grew and grew, its legs becoming comically big, it’s muscles swelling. For some strange reason it had a heart tattoo on one of its now muscular arms with the words MOM in the middle. The frog, now waist height to Chimera, kissed her muscular arms before jumping up to the Rich’s mansion door, kicking it open, and proceeding to hop right in. There was the sound of fighting, things breaking, and some minor screaming, but eventually Diamond Tiara came flying out of her open doorway, landing face first in the dirt. The frog then hopped out, landing on Diamonds head, and proceeded to hop away back to her pond.
Naturally, the two Master of Mayhem were on the ground laughing.
“You!” came a both loud but soft voice.
The two turned to spot Fluttershy storming over to them, Chimera specifically. She didn’t waste a second and instantly began hitting him with her Stare when she was close enough at full potency.
“I just saw what you did to that frog! You turned her into that...that…”
“I gave her the opportunity to get revenge on a pony that had been cruel to her!” said Chimera, hitting Fluttershy with his own Glare. “It’s my role to play in this world of chaos. I change animals and let them do what they want”
“I don’t care about your role to play, nothing gives you the right to use animals for your own twisted fun. It’s cruel, and mean, and...and…”
“And Hypocritical!” said Chimera, his Glare countering her Stare. “You’re supposed to be all about kindness, well, I’m doing something kind! I’m helping them get back at somepony that wronged them! What’s more kind than that?!”
Fluttershy just stuttered. The little bit of adrenaline she had built up from seeing an animal turned into a monster had worn off quick thanks to that Glare. She’d never had to deal with something like that before!
“B-But...I mean...um….” her voice cracked and got quieter and quieter.
Chimera took the opportunity to fly away with Disarray close behind.
“Well, that was interesting, so what are we doing now?” asked the shadow pony.
“Well, I was supposed to find you and bring to the HQ. Maelstrom called us for a meeting. I bet they’re all there waiting for us” replied the dark drake.
Chimera grinned and excited flew down into an alleyway, up to a random back door.
“Ooo allow me! I’ve been waiting to do this!” he said before swinging the door open and quickly going through.
Disarray followed through and closed the door behind himself. Looking around, he saw that they were in the regional office, aka, the cutiemark crusader treehouse.
“Well, seems no one’s here. We must be early or something” pondered Chimera out loud.
Disarray chuckled “This isn’t the HQ. This is just the regional office”
“It’s not?? No, I guess it wouldn’t be. It’d be way to obvious if you all were using the clubhouse as a headquarters. So where in the world is it???” asked Chimera.
The chaotic dragon just grinned and walked over to the door, opening it “it’s not” he said as he walked through. Chimera quickly followed, the door closing magically behind them.
Chimera couldn’t believe what he was seeing. There was so much cool stuff all around him and he had no idea what any of it did! Bad Seed and Party Pop were lounging on one of the couches, playing video games on one of the massive tvs. Maelstrom was reading a book while lounging in what appeared to be an extremely comfy chair. Hymnphonic was leaning against a jukebox, headphones plugged in, snapping her fingers to a beat only she could hear.
“Ah, so you two finally arrived” said Shadow Blitz, causing the boys to turn to look at her, then blush and look away due to what she was wearing. It was obvious she had just come from the HQ’s gym, as she was sweaty and only wearing athletic shorts and a sports bra. Chimera may have stared a bit more than he meant to.
“So, Welcome to the Headquarters of the Masters of Mayhem!” said Disarray, gesturing to the expanse of hallways, rooms, lounges, and the like, that surrounded them.
“This...this is incredible!” cried Chimera.
“Oh, you haven’t seen anything yet. But we’ll get you fully caught up with everything later, right now, I have an incredibly important news to give you all, so gather around” said Maelstrom.
Team Chaos quickly sat down in from of the chair Mael was in, giving the god their utmost attention.
“So, I’ve been thinking. You all have have been doing an absolutely amazing job. Like, spot on, flying colors, all lights green, bangup job. So I decided, today’s gonna be a Pay Day! Since you work for me, and not the corporation directly, I’m in charge of paying ya. So what’ll it be? Name it, anything you want, anything at all!”
They all just stared at Mael wide eyed.
“Wait, we get paid?!” asked Pop.
“Yea, it IS a job after all” replied Disarray.
Mael nodded and smiled “So name it, anything you want, and it’s yours. Within reason of course, I’m not giving you your own planet. At least, not yet”
Hymn took some time to think about it before replying.
“I would….hmmmm….I would like a Total Knockout makeup set, the deluxe edition with all the extra brushes. I want to get better at makeup for...um….reasons….
“HA! Lame!” laughed Shadow “I want tickets...no...Season passes to go see the Shadowbolts! They’ve been completely dominating the Wonderbolts in nearly every show they perform. They’re going to be performing in Canterlot soon and I really want to see the show!”
Party Pop thought for a moment, before giving a huge grin “Ooo! Ooo! I want a new sound system! Speakers! Reaaaaaaaalllllly BIG ones!”
“Do I get paid? I just started….” asked Chimera
Mael smiled “everyone’s getting paid, you know what you want?”
Chimera nodded “I want some new toys for Devil Bunny!”
“WAIT!!”
“Hm? What’s wrong Seed? Can’t think of something you want?” asked Disarray.
“No, it’s not that. Just, everypony, think a little, okay?” If we suddenly just appear with all this new stuff we didn’t have before, our families are going to know something is up and wonder where we got it all. Our siblings may act dense a lot of the time, but they’re not idiots. They’ll begin to suspect something was up and before we know it, boom, they know we’re the masters of mayhem. I don’t know about you guys but I’m still not ready to cross that bridge.”
They all sighed. Bad Seed what right.
“So then what?...” asked Hymn
There was long pause of silence before Chimera spoke up.
“Oh! I know! We can go on vacation to a reaaallly nice place! During the Crazy Doors Incident my family and I ended up on a very crazy cool beach where they had this super luxurious beach resort and spa. I’m talking the whole package! We couldn’t afford to actually stay there at the resort, but it looked really cool. I really want to be able to go there...um...Royal Ponmerion I think it’s called. It’s great and the weather is perfect, so let’s just go there!”
The others looked at each other, big smiles growing on their face.
“That's an excellent idea Chimera!” praised Maelstrom “I’ll make the reservations and we’ll all go this weekend!”
Bad Seed just sighed “we still kinda have the same problem. Our families are going to notice if we suddenly disappear for a whole weekend”
“oh yea…” said Chimera, before giving a sly smirk and a wink “What if they never notice we’re gone? Boss, you got near unlimited chaos power right?”
“Yes?” replied Maelstrom
“So you can whip us up some replica’s right? Could make them all sick so that they spend the weekend in bed. No one will be the wiser!”
Mael grinned “Chimera, you are just too clever. I’m so glad you joined the team”
Seed nodded “That is a clever plan, and I can’t see it not working”
“And it solves more than just that one problem. People will see us in our chaos forms, but our families will think you all are sick in bed. Stories will spread of Team Chaos on vacation. I think Twilight is starting to suspect who you all are, she’s really been hounding me to tell her you all’s identities and you know how Twilight gets when there’s something she wants to know. If you all are in two places at once, your siblings will be able to verify you are in bed and she’ll be able to verify we were all on vacation, the scent goes cold” added Disarray.
“You got a real talent for this Chimera” said Shadow
Chimera just shrugged and blushed a little.
With that, the meeting was concluded and everyone went back to doing what they wanted to, with Mael explaining the Company, Mr Boss, the Departments, and of course The Headquarters to Chimera.
In Canterlot, Luna was relaxing in the royal spa. Hot springs were a wonderful thing.
“Lulu!” called out Celestia as she entered, having nothing on but a towel, which she quickly discarded as she slipped into the wonderfully hot water and found a comfortable spot next to her sister. “Lulu, you won’t guess what Twilight just did!” she said.
“Hmm? What did she do? Did she use her authority to call in the secret service to investigate the Masters of Mayhem?” chuckled Luna softly.
Celestia froze in surprise, looking over at her sister
“Yes, that’s exactly it. How’d you know?”
“Well, I may have had a hand in instigating the idea in her head. I have a few suspicions, but I need Blueblood to confirm them”
The solar princess nodded and slid further down into the water “Well, I’m having him send a copy of his findings to me, so I’ll let you know when I get his report”
Luna just nodded with a tiny sly smirk and slid further down into the water herself.
“Wait, Lulu, what kind of suspicions were you talking about?”
“Relaxing first, conspiracies later”
The rest of the week passed by very quickly, with Chimera still excited about his new powers and helping animals get their revenge. He was limited to ponyville at first, but when he was taught how to open crazy doors he soon began causing havoc all across Equestria. Animals rose up and revolted and pets enacted their revenge against their owners.
Of course the rest of Team Harmony were informed of this new player, much to their chagrin. Things were looking bad for them now, now that they had to go up against a full team. This wasn’t going to be easy and Twilight was convinced they were up to something big. Her and the girls were constantly going all around Equestria solving animals problems.
The weekend had finally arrived and Disarray was just locking his bedroom door when Twilight came marching up.
“Oh, hey sis. What’s up?” he asked.
“Oh don’t what’s up me! Do you know what that new little friend of yours did?! He and that Bad Seed mutated some animals and crops by Baltimare! It was a full out war between bunnies and carrots when we got there Disarray. A WAR! So I’ve tried being patient, and respect your loyalty to your friends. But you need to tell me who they are!” the purple princess said, stomping her hoof for emphasis.
Disarray shrugged. “Well, it’s really not my place to say. Good to hear the new guy is doing such a good job. I’ll have to relay that to the boss. Anywho, I’ll be gone all weekend, so hold down the fort.”
“That’s another thing! Why do you hold that Maelstrom in such high regard?! Also...wait, what did you say? Gone? Why?” asked Twilight
“Oh, didn’t I tell you? The whole team is going on vacation” replied Disarray cooly
“VACATION?!” screamed Twilight
“Yea, we think we’ve earned one. It’s at this super high end luxury resort too, gonna be a total blast! Anyways, see you Twilight. Hope you don’t get too bored without us” and in a puff of purple flame, he was gone.
Twilight just stood there. Vacation. They were going on a luxury vacation, because they earned it?! If anything, SHE earned one! Her and the girls have been having to deal with their crap for months now and THEY get to go on a vacation?! She’ll have to remember to send a strongly worded letter to Princess Celestia about this.
However, another more pressing thought entered her head. If Disarray was going to be gone the whole weekend, that means she’d be in the clear to do...that. She’d given him one last chance to tell her who the other Masters of Mayhem were. He refused, so now it was time to do it the hard way. Blueblood had gotten into town a couple days ago and was laying low waiting for her signal. Now was the perfect time, she’ll call in Blueblood and the SS will break into Disarray's bedroom and see if they can find not only the information she seeks, but anything about Team Chaos’ future plans. She powered up her horn and ignited the crystal in an unsuspecting ring she was wearing.
Across Ponyville, at the town’s hotel, a ring around the finger of Equestria’s top spy, Special Agent Blueblood, flashed purple three times before turning green. Blueblood sighed and pulled out his hand mirror, the face of his second in command on its surface.
“I just received the signal, the operation is a go. All assigned units are to report in. I want to wrap this up and finish this as soon as possible”
