Mares in Black

by MrAquino


Prologue: The new comer.

A gray, cross eyed pegasus sat in a dark room with only a single lightbulb swinging a bit. The door opened and Princess Luna came inside, followed by a mint colored unicorn and a yellow earth pony with a blue & pink mane, both in black suits and sunglasses. Luna stood over, next to the pegasus.
"Do you know why you're here?" Luna asked. The pegasus swallowed hard.
"I saw something I shouldn't." the pegasus answered, sweating a bit.
"Yes. And what was it that you saw?"
"...those two... firing at... something."
"Indeed. Ladies, can you tell me what you two were firing at?"
"A class 5 case invader," the earth pony answered "your majesty."
"More detailed," the unicorn added "the alias' name was named 'Megatron'."
"We're sure his followers, called 'Decepticons', will return, probably with a full scale invasion on Equestria."
"We're gonna need every help we can get in the next 24 hours."
"Thank you both." Luna replied. She turned back to the pegasus. "We have two choices for you: 1) we erase your memory on what you saw. You go back to your life as a mailmare, without knowing your boyfriend is actually a dimensional being that looks like a pony and raise your daughter."
"And the second?" the pegasus asked
"2) You join us."
"...Join you?"
"Yes. You learn more about the universe and others out there, protect Equestria without anyone knowing you even exist. All of your past will be erased and you will be pronounced 'Deceased', but you will know what's truly happening."
"Did... anypony join like this?"
"Yes. Agent Lyra?"
"Yes ma'am?" the unicorn asked.
"Why don't you tell them how you joined us?"
"Who are you guys?" the pegasus asked
"We are the Mares in Black."
"Don't worry," the unicorn said, taking a seat. "I was in your place as well at least... two weeks ago. You got a name?"
"It's Derpy." the pegasus replied
"Ahh... Derpy. Care to listen? We got all day."
"I... don't see why not."
"Good. It all began a week ago, on a night that will forever change my life."

Two Weeks ago

Lyra lied in her bed, halfway asleep. For years, she had tried everything she can to find and capture a human being: a creature that stood on two legs, a lack of fur on it's body, hair, and wore clothing. She tried her best to find one, from using traps where the bait was a daisy sandwich, calling out a human as if it were a dog, and even shaking her plot around. Today was another failure, but to Lyra, it was a success on how not to find a human. She would try again tomorrow, hoping Lyra wouldn't mind. She began to sloes her eyes until a bright light came from her window. It glowed an eerie green, which would cause anypony to hide, but she was rather curious. Looking outside, she saw a green glowing orb, a bit bigger than most ponies around, floating somewhere in Ponyville's market area. Some silhouettes came out of the orb, causing Lyra a sense of wonder & fear. Were these humans? At least three came out, all stood upright, seemed to have hair, had hands, and wore clothing, thanks to their feet looking more round than having toes.
"Are we here?" one of the figures asked in a deep male voice
"I don't know," a teenage girls sounding voice replied "it looks like it."
"This is strange," a dorky sounding male in their group said "I thought we'd turn into our O.C.s as well."
"STOP RIGHT THERE!!!" A voice yelled. Lyra looked and saw a bunch of ponies walking towards them.
"Bronies." one of the ponies said "Why do they always come here?"
"Ever since October 10, 2010," another pony said "this has been occurring more times than needed!"
"What do you mean?" the deep sounding human asked "We just got here!"
"More have came here before us?" the female human asked
"Of course!" Another pony answered "Stun them!!!" One of the ponies pulled out a weird device, where he or she aimed it at the 'Bronies'. The brines began to run away, as a single shot was fired at them, knocking them all down. Lyra could hear them groan a bit. Some of the ponies came up and dragged the bronies back.
"Alright everypony," one of the ponies said "sunglasses on." Almost choreographed, they all put on their sunglasses.
"Can we close this?" another pony asked
"Affermative. Give me a minute."
"What's going on?" the dorky human asked "Equestria is suppose to be nice!!!"
"It is." a female pony replied "You should've came to us first. Goodnight." Still near her window, Lyra watched as one of the ponies, supposedly a unicorn, horn glowed. She ducked, not wanting to see anything violent. She looked right back up, to see what they did: the humans were fine, but seemed confused on what's happening. One of the ponies bucked the bronies back into the orb, sending them back to who knows where.
"Oh well," one of the ponies said "think more will come tomorrow night?"
"Most likely." another answered "Kinda makes me wish that Twilight hadn't meet her friends."
"It was that or eternal darkness." the mare said "C'mon, let's get back to base."
"What about here?" one of them asked "there may be some pony that watched this."
"So what? Luna will send in the day shift members to deal with 'em. Let's get back; I need some shut eye." Just like that, they walked away. Lyra stood near her wind, left eye twitching with millions of questions in her head: Who were those ponies? Were those humans? What's a Brony? How do they mix in with Twilight and her Friends? Who will come to her house? Despite all of this, she fell onto her back and passed out, probably from the lack of sleep she received.
