//------------------------------// // Danger // Story: Jett Finds A Filly // by Melonman //------------------------------// *Knock* *Knock* “Jett? Jett you in there?” Phoenix says over the doorway, Jett hadn't left her room for some time now after the little fight with Yoru. Worried for his friend, he came to check up on her to see if she was alright. He was greeted with silence,  he pressed his head against the door to check for any noises on the other side. He heard water running on the other side of the room, sighing to himself, he assumed Jett was just taking a shower. Just as he was about to leave however he heard a voice by the doorway. “Phoenix? Phoenix is that you?!” The voice was muffled, but he knew it was Jett, and she sounded panicked. “Jett you alright?” phoenix asked one more time. “Help me.” her voice sounded desperate making him worried even more, he pressed a button by the doorway to see if it would open, fortunately, it did and the door quickly opened as Phoenix got inside. He checked around the room, not seeing his friend until his eyes focused on another door leading to the bathroom. “Jett?! Jett open the door!” Phoenix yelled as he tried to use his shoulder to bust open the door. The door was flicked open as Phoenix busted in without a moment's notice, as soon as he got in however he was greeted with a splash of water right into his face and clothing. The bathroom was a mess, conditioners lay on the floor as some were floating in the bathtub, curtains were torn apart and there lay the duelist staring at Phoenix with a shocked expression. Jett was a watery mess, her bun was gone, her long white hair was wet and so were her clothes. The now wet filly was on top of a rack as she stared at the running water with a terrified expression. Jett sighed with relief. “Phoenix! Thank god you are here! You have to help me!” Jett pleaded to his friend as he wiped the water from his face.  “Jett… what are you trying to do?” Phoenix deadpanned,  Jett lightly chuckled while scratching the back of her head. “Well... When I woke up, I realized that the filly was still dirty and she made quite a mess in my bed so I thought it would be best for… you know… for her to take a bath and…” Her voice trailed off as she stared at Phoenix's unamused expression. She sighs in defeat. “Jett, you had me worried back there, I thought you were in trouble.” Phoenix scolded as Jett stood up straight to properly face his friend. “I panicked ok, sorry for making you worry… and for wetting your coat.” Jett points to Phoenix’s now wet white coat to which he hummed in response. “It's fine.” with a snap of a finger, Phoenix’s body glowed bright orange as sparks of flames were circling around him, eventually it stopped and Phoenix’s coat and jeans were as good as new. “You know, I'm sometimes jealous of your powers.” Jett smiled. “You're the one to talk… so um, are you done here?” “Why’s that?” Jett’s smile faded as she took a towel and started whipping her wet hair. “Brim needs us in his office, it's about the mission,” Phoenix says as he started walking out of the bathroom. “Hey, phoenix wait up! What about the filly?” Jett exited the bathroom carrying the wet filly in her hands as it struggled to fight the towel rubbing against her mane and fur. “Leave her, she won't go far.” “Are you sure?” Jett says in worry as the filly finally dried up but rather preferred to stay in her mother's arms as the filly stared at Phoenix with a smile. “One hundred, now come on, ill be waiting for you outside,” Phoenix reassures Jett as he leaves through the door. Jett was hesitant, this was the first time in these few hours that she would be leaving the filly on her own for a while. Plus she didn't trust her being alone, she didn't know how long she would be gone but she wanted to return to her room, not expecting it to become a huge mess that was caused by one simple filly. So, with a serious look growing on her face, she placed the filly on her bed before locking her eyes with hers as they intensely stared at one another. “Listen filly, I'm going to be gone for a while and when I come back, I better not find any of my things scattered around the floor. I want you to be on your best behavior until I get back, you got that?” Jett tried to sound intimidating toward the filly. it was hard, considering how she was failing to keep her serious expression whilst she kept looking at the filly's bewildered face. It broke even more when the filly decided to raise her right forehoof and saluted to Jett, having her own serious look, but more adorable. Jett could have sworn butterflies were flying around her stomach right now, because, yet again, she had fallen right into the trap of the filly’s cuteness. “Gosh, why are you so adorable,” Jett muttered as she had her head down in defeat. Then she heard snickering, it was small but it didn't go unnoticed by her. She quickly rose her head up as she stared at the filly, only to find her smiling at her. “Did you just-” Before she could question the filly, someone knocked on the door. “Jett hurry up! We're gonna be late!” Phoenix shouts on the other side. “Oh shit!” Jett quickly changed into her outfit and used her wind powers to dry her hair quicker. She quickly grabbed her bun that was lying on her workbench before heading out as both she and Phoenix rush towards Brimstone's office, Little did she know however she had left her door unlocked. Brimstone sat on his office chair as he waited for the last two agents to arrive so that they could start discussing the mission and how it had gone. Sova, Killjoy, and Skye sat on the other side of Brimstone, not sure of what to do other than to wait for their teammates. These awkward tensions intend to go frequently around headquarters for some reason. It wasn't long however as the door was suddenly opened revealing the two duelists in cold sweats. “Ah Phoenix, Jett. Glad you could join us today. I suppose you didn't forget about our meeting?” Brimstone says half threateningly. “It's my fault, Brim, I'm sorry. I was just cleaning the filly up.” Jett says as she and Phoenix take a seat with the rest of the agents. Brim sighs. “Well, since you two are here now. Care to explain your findings on the omega side of the facility?” “There wasn't much brimstone, I had checked every nook and cranny around that place. Nothing worth the trouble.” Phoenix says, shaking his head. “Aside from the filly I found, I found some room where they used to travel to our world, but it looked like it had died along with this place.” “From what Killjoy told me, Jett, you said the radianite boxes over at the omega side were a dark orange. Correct?” Brimstone questioned to which Jett nodded. “We believed that this was their very own type of radianite back in their world, the orange radianite just works as similar as ours except for its color difference.” “So if they have their own radianite, why steal ours?” Phoenix asks, confused. “it's because they have depleted theirs.” the four agents turned to Killjoy, and as she finally realized what they have been fighting for this whole time, Brimstone nodded in confirmation. “Correct, we have heavily relied on radianite, it's what powers almost everything we had made today and it will continue to do so. But if we were to run out of it.” He paused letting his agents finish the sentence. “We would be desperate,” Killjoy finishes, shocked by the revelation. “That is why their tech is more advanced than ours!”  The room went silent as the agents took in all the information that was given, it all made sense. To think that all the destruction that was made around the world by their mirrored selves was just to get the simple green radianite boxes that were stored there. How many lives were lost when the spike would engulf and violently destroy its surroundings, as the people who got hit by the radius of the explosion disintegrate into nothing but ashes. “Son of a bitch.” phoenix muttered under his breath. “Son of a bitch is right, The spike not only destroys the environment but is also a way of transport for the radianite.” Brimstone says aloud, snapping the agents from their thoughts. “That is why we fight agents. We fight to protect the citizens, we fight to protect what is ours, and We will not let some clones steal it from us. This is why we travel to Omega Earth. If they want war, then we will give them hell.”  Brimstone stood up from his chair and looked over at his agents. After hearing those words, the agents who were stunned now had faces of determination, ready to take back what was lost. One step at a time. Then Killjoy cleared her throat. “Well..as much as traveling to another earth goes, I'm afraid it might not be possible.” “What do you mean kid?” brimstone raised an eyebrow. “The blueprint that I took was only a part of the actual portal brimstone,” Killjoy says sadly. “It is like the scientist took every single thing they could get before escaping. I was lucky enough to even find one of the pieces.” “Could you make use of it?” “I could try,” Killjoy says, chuckling sadly. Brimstone groaned heavily knowing that it could take even more time for Killjoy to finish building it. he took a seat in his chair, thinking of a plan. “I'll try to send another batch of agents into that facility to have a recheck, for now, you agents get some rest, you've earned it.” With that, all the agents left Brimstone's office as they went on their separate ways to do their own activities. Jett was about to run back to her room to check up on the filly, hoping that the filly had listened when suddenly she was stopped by Phoenix. “Hey Jett, wanna shoot some robot dummies in the training room?” Phoenix asked eagerly. “Phoenix not now, I have to check up on her, plus I thought Raze said she was still fixing up the robots?” “Meh, your right on that but come on! Let's hang out! Please?” Phoenix begged, bringing his hands together and shaking them for emphasis. “Phoenix, I can-” Jett was cut off by the sounds of ringing. Picking her phone up, she took a look to find a message from Raze. Her eyes widened when she read the message. [ GUYS, I NEED HELP! ] [THE LITTLE POTRANCA GOT INTO THE TRAINING ROOM! ] [ I CANT OPEN THE DOOR! ] More messages started to come up from the other agents, texting their own shocks and concerns. “Huh? Whos texting now?”  As Phoenix reached out for his phone, Jett ran in a dead sprint, leaving her friend in a daze. What happened?
