The Division: Fall of Manehatten. A Division-MLP Fanfic

Chapter 4: Inside the Base

The door swung open revealing a royal guard with several papers in his hand. His breath was heavy as he looked like he had just run a marathon. He struggled to get his first words due to being out of breath. But he took a deep breath and exhaled. Bringing fresh air into his lungs. 

“Agent Trail. We got the location of doctor Candle Glow. She’s being held at the Manehatten Stadium Hospital. Along with several other doctors and nurses.” Agent Trail took the papers from the pony's hoof and flipped through them. After reading them, she looked down on the ground in frustration but kept her cool. She placed the papers on the table before telling the soldier to leave the room. He nodded his head and closed the wooden door. 

“Um. Sorry but who is Doctor Candle Glow?” Shadow Dawn asked the agent before her.

“Doctor Candle Glow is one of the best doctors in Manehatten. She is probably our best bet to find a cure or vaccine for the virus. Without her, we could have months or years without a vaccine. But I hope with her on our side. The process will be quicker. Not that it's going to be easy but you gotta work with what you got.” Agent Trail replied

“Great! Let’s go get her then. Where is she currently located?.” 

“She’s being held hostage at the Manehatten Stadium Hospital. During the outbreak, EDMA used the place to care for the sick. Before it was abandoned and every pony in there either died or got shot. We have several reports that the Followers are trying to force Doctor Candle Glow into giving them information on the virus. So that they can make a more deadly strain to wipe us out completely.” 

“Well ain’t that just great.” Shadow Dawn replied sarcastically.

“I know, it’s tough. But without her, we could lose all hope for a vaccine or cure. But there is also something else. One of their lieutenants named the Savage is there. Looks like he’s the one in charge of looking after the doctor. So your goal is to eliminate the Follower threat, neutralize the Savage, and rescue Doctor Candle Glow and her team.” 

“Alright then. Sounds like a plan. When are we heading out?” Shadow Dawn grabbed her gun.

“We’re heading out soon. You’re going to be with Agent Dancer and Agent Rider. You three make a great team.” Shadow Dawn blushed at the comment. Even though she just met them. She had this feeling inside her heart that told them they’re going to be a good squad.

“What about Agent Rush?” The orange earth pony looked up at the bat pony with shock.

“Hey! You three do the action. I pass the information to you three. You got that!” 

“Copy that agent Rush.” Although the reaction he made was rude and loud. Agent Dawn still wanted to respect him. She didn’t want to start a fight with another fellow Division agent who had the same goals as her. Meanwhile, agent Trail just rolled her eyes in annoyance. 

“Agent Dawn. Let’s leave Agent Rush to look over the papers and gather information ok.” They soon walked out the door as agent Rush continued looking through the papers. Agent Trail sighed in annoyance. Clearly not happy with how agent Rush reacted. 

“I’ll talk to Agent Rush later about how he reacted. Right now you can go talk to Agent Dancer and Agent Rider. We’re still making plans to rescue doctor Candle Glow and her staff. With that agent trail walked away. Leaving Shadow Dawn to go find the agent twins. Which she found in a few minutes in the gun range. Shooting their guns for target practice. The sound of the guns blasting through the room rang like a bell. Agent Dancer looked over her shoulder to see the bat pony agent standing there. 

“Oh hey, agent Dawn. How are you doing?” Her dark blue eyes filled with glee and cheer. They shone like bright stars in the dark night sky.

“I’m doing good agent Dancer. How about you and agent Rider?”

“We’re doing good. We’re just doing some target practice right now. Right, brother?” 

“Yeah. Hey, we appreciate you helping us out earlier. Without you, who knows what would’ve happened if those Ravagers made it in.” Again, Shadow Dawn blushed at the comment. Making her feel like a hero. 

“Thanks. Just a quick question if you don’t mind me asking?” 

“What is agent Dawn?” Agent Dancer replies to the bat pony. Curious at what question she was going to say out of her mouth.

“How did you two become agents?”

“Oh, that’s simple. You see, our dad was a military veteran and we wanted to be like him. So we signed up with the royal guard. Soon, this strange pony wearing a suit approached us. He said he was impressed by our actions in the royal guard and asked us if he wanted to join another agency. We said yes and here we are today. How about you agent Dawn?” 

Shadow Dawn froze when she heard that question. Standing there like a statue in a museum. Memories of Shadow Dawn’s childhood ran through her mind. She remembered what happened to her father. Small tears formed from her eyes and rolled down her cheek. Both agents took notice of this. Agent Dancer’s cheerful look was now replaced with a worried expression. Clearly seeing something troubling in the bat ponies bright yellow eyes.

“You ok?” Shadow Dawn wiped away the tears with her hoof.

“Yeah it’s my past is unpleasant and lost a family member in my family”

‘Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know”

“It’s ok Agent Dancer. No need to worry” A bright smile grew across Shadow Dawn’s face but it didn’t make agent Dancer or agent Rider feel better. Suddenly, the voice of agent Trail came from the PA system. 

“Agents Cloud Dancer, Rain Rider, and Shadow Dawn. Please report to the main office for the mission briefing. Again, agents Cloud Dancer, Rain Rider, and Shadow Dawn. Please report to the main office for the mission briefing” 

Agent Rain Rider chuckled. “Well sis, looks like we got another mission on our hooves. You ready”

“Sure am brother!” 

“Great! How about you agent Dawn?”

“More ready than ever I guess”

“Perfect, let’s go to the briefing." The trio of agents ran off to the main office. Ready for their next mission at Manehatten Stadium Hospital
