//------------------------------// // Operation: O.N.E // Story: Code name: My little ponies // by 8-bit Bacon //------------------------------// Operation: O.N.E Operative Needs Extraction A/N: Thanks again to Fragment12 and others who help edit this. i put a jpg link on every operative who will be one of the major characters in the story so to help others (those who were new to KND) get a basic idea on what they look like “We need more firepower!” ordered Numbuh 362 from the bridge to any active and conscious KND operative in the vicinity. She took the two-way radio and changed the frequency to those of Numbuh 86. “Numbuh 86 is the Gun tower operational?” Numbuh 362 asked through the radio. “Yes sir! We need a few more minutes,” said Numbuh 86 in a sharp Scottish accent. Then an argument was heard on the other end of Numbuh 86 with her shouting on an operative who was seemingly repairing the Gun tower. “Of all stupid things in the stupid world of stupid people acting stupid, You boys are stupidest! It’s like you’re trying to win a stupid contest, but you’re too stupid to take a stupidity test!” were the last things Numbuh 362 heard before ending transmission. Knowing Numbuh 86 was a misandrist, she sighed and took pity on the male operative she was shouting at. She changed the radio frequency again to order the ground troops, hoping to buy more time for Numbuh 86 and the repair team until the Gun was operational. They were fighting a manticore, who attacked them an hour after the moonbase crashed at the edge of the forest. At the first minute of the fight, the KND was in disarray and some of the operatives were unconscious or didn’t even have a weapon, but with Numbuh 362’s quick thinking, she ordered Numbuh 86 to rally able operatives to hold off the attacking manticore. Where the hell are we? This is not Earth, and surely a manticore only exists in books. And the forest trees, it’s not like the ones you commonly see at Earth. Surely we’re not- Numbuh 362 thoughts was interrupted by Numbuh 86’s transmission. “Sir, the gun is operational, but we only have one shot.” “I’ll send you the coordinates,” she replied. “Numbuh 35, order all ground units to this coordinate so that Numbuh 86 can have a clear shot of the target!” Both the cannon and the manticore are in place, with a clear shot, Numbuh 362 sent out an order to fire. The thunderous sound which came from the cannon echoes throughout the forest, startling all the creatures that were able to hear it. “A direct hit sir!” exclaimed Numbuh 86. The manticore howled in pain. Seeing the fight cannot drag any longer because of its injuries, the manticore retreated to the forest. Numbuh 362 gave a sigh of relief that they were able to fend off something that they were not trained to fight with. She looked down on the operatives who were cheering and shouting. Knowing that this victory would not last longer, she quickly gave order to build a temporary HQ fort. Then she turned to Numbuh 35. “Numbuh 35, gather all members of Sector V and tell them that I’ll talk with them in the briefing room and don’t tell or mention to them about Numbuh 1,” she ordered. -0- “Princess Luna!” exclaimed the Mane Six in delight to see Princess Luna. “Twilight Sparkle and friends, it is thy honour to meet thou,” the Princess greeted in ‘Royal Canterlot Voice’. “It is a shame that my sister cannot welcome you all personally, for she has a political affair to attend.” “Princess! Princess! Do you still remember me?” said the pink pony who had been jumping for a while now. “Why yes, how could I not forget the ringleader of the frightened children last Nightmare Night festival,” replied the Princess with a bit of annoyance. The pink pony suddenly stops in mid-air, floating without wings or magic. “Something tells me that I need cupcakes, a lot of it. I need to go to Pony Joe for some new cupcake recipes.” Then in a flash, she was gone. Luna, turned to the others after Pinkie Pie left. “Once my sister is done with the morning affairs, we will accompany you something that no-pony has ever seen before,” Luna said with enthusiasm. “And that’s the reason why we called you here.” “But for now, please give your belongings to our valet so that he may take them to your respective rooms.” The Mane Six complied and took pity to the stallion who, unfortunately chose to be Rarity’s valet. “Now that the greetings and explaining is done-” “Umm princess, yah only explained half of the reason why we're here,” Applejack said with a curious face. “Ah yes, if you follow me please. Follow me,” replied the Princess as they walked towards the Castle “Last night, we found this thing in the middle of the Canterlot garden.” She paused just beside the window where the garden is, then she gestured her hoof towards the fountain where they found the thing. “Is it a new species?” Twilight asked with starry eyes. “Aliens?” Rainbow Dash butted in. The Princess was about to reply when suddenly “Rabbits?” asked by the timid Fluttershy. All of them were taken aback from what Fluttershy said. “Darling, it’s hardly a reason for the princess to call six of us just to see a rabbit,” said Rarity. Realizing the silliness of her question, she blushed and smiled sheepishly while hiding behind her pink mane. Regaining her composure from the unexpected question, Princess Luna giggled. “Tis not a rabbit, Miss Fluttershy,” Then turning to Twilight “Tis not a new species too. My sister and I believe that it came from another planet.” Rainbow Dash gave a smug look at Twilight, knowing that she beat an egghead. “You won this round,” replied Twilight as she accepted the challenge of who got most of the question right. They all resumed walking, except for Rarity, who excused herself but promised to return before Princess Celestia comes and show them the alien. They stop at a giant enchanted door at the far side of the castle grounds. There were five Pegasi guarding the front of the door. One of them, seemingly the captain, trotted forward to the Princess and said, “My Lady,” the captain bowed. “The things that you have requested are in place.” Then he peeked to the side of the princess to see her guests and continued. “I cannot allow them to see the alien without your sister’s clearance.” “But-” the words of Twilight was cut by the captain’s word. “No means no.” Twilight sighed in disappointment, while the other three are still curious on what they will see. Princess Luna saw the saddened face of Twilight Sparkle for she knew that she was the only pony who was much more interested in the alien than her. “Worry not little ones, my sister meant good. For all we know, this thing may harm anypony,” Princess Luna assured them. Out of nowhere, a message courier came running down towards the Princess. He took out a message in his saddlebag and gave it to the Princess, who in turn used magic to read the message. The Princess frowned while reading, then nods at the messenger who instantly runs back where he came from. “I’m very sorry Twilight and friends, but there is a matter that I must attend to.” She looked at the captain with a determined look, knowing full well that it had something to do with the last night’s event. “As you wish my lady.” He nods, “Alright girls, if you would please follow me.” -0- They all entered the Laboratory wing as the Princess left. It was a big room, full of flasks and vials then they saw somepony; unicorns to be exact, wearing lab coat and experimenting magic and chemicals. Knowing ‘egg-heads’ understands those kind of things, Rainbow Dash hovered beside the captain and started asking questions about the alien. “Is this alien dangerous?” “So far, no. The alien is still unconscious,” replied the captain. “Extra eyes?” “A pair, same as us.” “Extra limbs?” “Four limbs, one of the scientists theorize that they walk on two legs,” the captain stood on his hind legs to mimic how they walked. “And they have this claw like thing, five in each limb, but I doubt it is useful because it’s soft and can hardly scratch a rock.” Twilight, absorbed in thought, was approached by Applejack. “Yah’ all right in there Twi? Yah’ seem awfully quiet,” asked by the worried Applejack. “Hope yer not scared of the alien, are yah’?” “No, I was thinking. The book, the meteor, and now this?” said Twilight with her hoof under her chin. “The what and the what?” Applejack was confused on what Twilight said. “I believe the events of last night has something to do with this.” She looked at Applejack, still confused. “Oh sorry, I think it will be easier to explain once we see the alien.” Then, she giggled “Ok girls, here we are,” said the guard. They entered a small, but spacious room. There’s a table in middle. “Those things at the table are what we recovered from the alien,” he said while gesturing to it. They all walk towards it. Rainbow Dash was the first one to get close to it. “What the hay? This is all a bunch of junk, and here I thought they would have some of those lasers and ray guns like in the comic books,” she growled in disappointment. “Ugh, if I only joined Rarity in her shopping spree rather than see this bunch of junk.” The other three trot over. “A’hm gonna agree with Dash here, this all are a bunch of household things.” Then she points towards a somewhat a wooden mechanism with magnets and saw tool. Then Twilight used her magic and levitated the thing which Applejack pointed. She examines it for a while. “Careful now, that thing is a weapon,” said the unicorn scientist who saw Twilight examining the gadget. “Beg yer pardon?” Applejack asked the scientist. “How come a wood with magnet became a weapon?” The scientist didn’t reply, but made a demonstration. He put a rock on the table. “Now I want you girls to stand back, I don’t want any debris to hit you.” All of them trot back, except for Rainbow Dash. “I’m not going to stand back.” Then, doing a heroic pose, “I’m too cool for that.” The scientist shrugged. “Your choice.” With magic, he fires the gadget at the rock. The top plank in the gadget hits the rock, obliterating it and sending a large chunk towards Rainbow Dash, which instantly hits her in the forehead. But Rainbow Dash didn’t react, with agape mouth; they were all staring in amazement. Such destructive force in a simple mechanism, not to mention the speed. “So, yer sayin’ that everything here is a weapon?” Applejack asked. “No,” the scientist replied flatly, “as far as we know.” Then Applejack took the small watch device. “Well, this sure is some accurate watch,” she turned it back and saw some markings which she cannot understand. “Uh doc, any idea what does this mean?” The scientist trots towards her and took a good look at the watch, which now started to blink red. “By Celestia! We didn’t know this marking existed in this watch, and it can do some blinking lights!” he exclaimed. “Thank you very much, Miss..?” “Applejack,” she replied. “Miss Applejack, if you hadn’t seen this mark, we wouldn’t be able to progress,” he said with admiration. “We were so busy playing with those ‘weapons’ that we forgot to examine the others,” he said while shaking hooves with Applejack. “Aww shucks, it ain’t no a big deal,” Applejack blushed at the praise she received, Twilight trotted towards her to see the markings. NUMBUH 1, SECTOR V Twilight asked the scientist, “Any idea on what the marking means?” “From what I guess, it must be a name or a serial number, since we have the same numeral numbers,” replied the scientist. Twilight, now sinking in her own thoughts, trying to piece together the connection of this and the events last night. Rainbow Dash, snapping from reality; she turned from a boring attitude into an interested one. She took another gadget; a blender, she then tried to shoot it, but to no avail. “Hey, what gives? This thing doesn’t work!” which she almost threw in frustration. “Try pressing the trigger, the small button beside it,” replied the scientist. Following the scientist’s advice, she aimed it at the table and pressed it. The table suddenly turned into ice. “Omygoshomygoshomygosh.... THIS IS SO COOL!” she shouted excitedly like a little filly with a new doll. She then realized that Twilight Sparkle is staring at her with a smirk on her face, she lands down and returning the gadget in the ice table. “Uh.. well.. I’m still cool for that kind of thing,” she blushed sheepishly. “Of course you do,” Twilight retorted with a smug. Fluttershy, who was quiet the whole time, was noticed by the Captain that she was eyeing interestedly at the black shades. The captain took the shades and hand it over to Fluttershy, who suddenly shied away behind her pink mane. “Care to try it on, Miss...” Fluttershy mumbled some words which the Captain didn’t quite understand. “Come again?” She replied the same mumbled words again. “I’m sorry, I can’t understand what you just said.” “Fluttershy,” Applejack answered in her stead. “Sorry for that one, she’s just shy of meeting a new pony.” “Oh ok, I understand,” replied the Captain in disappointment. “But can you give this to her, she seems quite interested in these shades.” He then gave the shades to Applejack. “Sure do!” She then headed towards Fluttershy. “Hey Fluttershy, the captain said that you want to try this out?” She hands over the black shades. “Oh sure.. umm.. if they don’t mind,” she then wears the black shades. “Looks good on you,” Applejack complimented her, which made her blush and again, hide behind her mane now wearing the shades. All of the sudden, the watch which the scientists are now examining emitted sounds and vibrated for 5 seconds before going silent again. All of them were startled from what happened “What in the hay was that?” said the Captain in confusion. -0- “ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?” Numbuh 362 shouted at Sector V members. “What makes you think that you can walk around and shoot my very MOONBASE?” after calming down, she rubs her temples. “And you, Numbuh 74.239,” turning to the scientist, “who gives you clearance on making a prototype portal in my moonbase?” “But Numbuh 362, the deep sea research lab is under the Cootie-zombies,” Numbuh 74.239 replied. “Fine. For now, try repairing the-” She was cut short when Numbuh 35, the communications officer, barge in the room “Sir, we received a unknown encrypted signal coming from the North,” she said while panting. “Sector V, you’re with me,” she said as she walk out of the briefing room, “we’re going on a rescue mission."
