The doors to the throne room burst open, as Nightmare Moon looked to see the two spies rushing in with looks of panic and worry on their face, before they came to a stop and slowly caught their breath, gasping for air while the Empress patiently waited until they recovered before she spoke.
"Ah, our glorious warrior commanders, you have returned ultimately triumphant over the foolish followers of Celestia!" Nightmare Moon said, before noticing the spies nervously sweating and jittering while glancing between each other as they gritted their teeth and hissed. "You... Were triumphant against the foolish student and her friends... Right?" A pegasus in shadowbolt uniform emerged next to the empress and whispered into her ear before quickly backing away into the shadows as Nightmare Moon processed what she had heard.
...
"THEY ARE ALREADY HERE!?!"
Alright, the cat is officially out of the top secret bag.
"How is this possible!?! Ugh... It is of no matter, and not of your own fault, it is likely those foolish ponies used their benign 'magic of friendship' to overcome your obstacles. We shall simply have to draft a new plan, at least until I have reached my full strength so I may destroy them myself." The two spies nodded, agreeing with both the new plan and the stupid magic of friendship thing. Seriously, it sounded so dumb, how could anyone believe that lovey dovey happy go lucky crap? Back in their world, trying to make friends got you shot, lit on fire, tossed in a ditch, and covered in dirt. Not specifically in that order, but still.
But now the only thing that mattered was a plan, something to delay the ponies, something to hold them off until Nightmare Moon was ready...
Something MANIACAL...
Something DEVIOUS...
Something so EVIL it might just work... And as the spies looked to see the crates full of equipment from their world conveniently sitting in the corner when Nightmare Moon warped it in, two individual light bulbs appeared over both of their heads, and they began to snicker.
Trap time.
Twilight Sparkle used her magic to slowly push open the door, revealing a long hallway with tall pillar supporting the fault ceiling and old statues of armor on both sides, with moonlight shining in from the windows. At the other end of the hallway would be the door to the throne room, where she sensed Nightmare Moon was waiting for her and her friends.
"Alright everypony, we just need to- WOAH!" Suddenly, a massive axe disconnected from the suit of armor holding it and swung down right in front of Twilight, just barely missing her muzzle. As the rest of her friends quickly entered the hallway, the door behind slammed shut, causing Fluttershy to leap into the air before coming back a shivering mess. Snickering echoed throughout the hall as shadows of long nosed figures moved though the light, putting all of the ponies on edge as Rainbow Dash spoke up.
"H-hey! S-show yourself, you c-creeps!" Slight chuckling was heard as two shadowy figures were seen at the end of the hall, before slowly emerging into the moonlight and striking a dramatic pose, wearing their signature Black and White and White and Black uniforms along with the infamous sinful stare and sinister smile. The first to react was Pinkie Pie, who dramatically gasped.
"It's those weird monkey dudes I saw back in Ponyville! What are they doing here?" As Pinkie Pie thought to herself, Rarity soon made a realization.
"You must be the tacky individuals responsible for those attempts to impede us! Your violation of Magnus's mustache is intolerable!"
The two spies proceeded to take a bow, as if taking responsibility for the performance, with White Spy even procuring the scissors and maniacally snickering as he proceeded to cut an inconspicuous rope.
Snip snip!
"Oh you... When I get my hooves on you, you shall pay for your crimes-" Right as Rarity was taking a step forward, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling proceeded to fall down right in front of her, followed by a shrill scream from the fashionista before she quickly cowered behind Twilight for safety as the spies simply snickered while the ponies glared at them.
"Hey, that wasn't nice, you could've hurt her!" Pinkie defiantly stated, as the two spies looked at each other, before bursting out laughing, clearly stating that was indeed their intention. Twilight seemed to examine the room and her horn began to glow, until she gasped in shock.
"Girls, the room is completely booby trapped!" Pinkie pie proceeded to snicker, to which the ponies and even the spies looked to her with a dead pan expression.
"What? Booby is a funny word." Ignoring the childish remark, Twilight looked back to the spies taunting her and her friends, snickering as they did funny little dances.
"Alright everypony, trot carefully!" Twilight said as she and her friends slowly walked through the halls, as AJ stepped on a stone tile, pressing it down and a knight's massive mace nearly crashing down on her if it weren't for Rainbow saving her. Fluttershy stepped on another tile and a barrage of arrows flew directly towards her from an opening in the wall, as she quickly hopped up into the air and dodged them before coming back down. Rarity accidentally tripped a trip wire and proceeded to nearly get her beautiful mane scorched by a dragon head breathing a large plume of fire right over her head.
Noticing that the ponies were somehow surviving their genius traps, the Black spy suddenly got an idea, as he proceeded to slowly draw his pistol, taking aim up towards the ceiling at a particularly loose stone, and shooting it, as the entire room began to shake and the ceiling quickly started collapsing, as stones rapidly fell down towards the ponies who only barely managed to dodge them. However, the thing they didn't predict was that a stone was coming directly for them, as the Black Spy screamed before he was crushed, while White spy snickered before he too was crushed, not by a stone, but by the stampede of six ponies rushing out of the room.
Quickly getting up, White then pushed the stone off of Black to see the very flat spy slowly pop back up like an accordion before airing himself back up by blowing in his fingers and quickly following White into the throne room. They then saw Nightmare Moon and the ponies having some sort of battle of wits or something, but the spies were too busy to care, as they quickly got behind the moon horse, just as the purple horse spoke up loud.
"And with friendship, we will defeat you!" The strange purple unicorn horse said as she and her friends began to... Float and glow? And the things around their necks and on top of her head began to also glow? The two spies then realized what it was, a spies worst nightmare...
A Deus Ex Machina.
And fearing it might be aimed at them, they decided to put their plan into motion... And shove the moon horse right into the giant orbital rainbow friendship laser of death's path. Before she even had time to react, she was enveloped by the rainbow's energy, however the two spies found themselves being pushed back by the energy of the beam, before they were sent flying through a window out of the castle and into the woods, screaming all the way.
Launched twice in one day, what are the odds?
Next time, on Spy Vs. Spy Vs. Equestria!
Alright, they just needed to grab a couple apples, sneak off the farm without being detected, and they would be fine. They had trained for this.
Specifically Apple Theft 101.
