Sweetie saw a door about to close, this was her only hope.
She slid under the door and saw it close behind her. The monster tried to enter, but it just couldn't manage.
"Oh, thank Celestia we did it!" exclaimed Sweetie Drops.
Sweetie realized that Daring Do was not with her, but she was carrying her hat.
She looked at the hat and began to realize the worst.
Daring Do had been caught in one of the traps.
The thoughts quickly turned to chaos, the only thing she could think about now is which trap she was caught in, or how bad it was, or if the monster had taken her, and she didn't even notice.
Sweetie felt a piercing pain in her stomach, the kind you get when you're in total shock and denial.
However, she didn't have time to contemplate, Corvus was doing serious damage to Celestia's ship.
She put the hat on in respect, and looked for the A.I's main control room.
Luckily for her, she saw she was only meters away from the control room. All she needed to do, was to go through one more door.
She couldn't help but shed a few tears because of Daring Do, even if they weren't the closest friends, they worked in the same agency, and if Daring Do had to die, it would be in the most brave and heroic way possible.
She went through the door and saw a flurry of buttons, which made her dizzy for a few seconds.
"Hey Sweetie, are you in Corvus?" asked Celestia from the ear-piece.
"Yeah, there was a casualty too..." said Sweetie Drops.
"What?! Who?!" Celestia was trying her best to avoid who she knew Sweetie was talking about.
"Daring Do," said Sweetie.
Celestia knew what her agents signed up for when they were coming into her agency, but it always made Celestia feel like she was the one who had killed them.
Celestia gained her composure, and began to talk again.
"Okay, we need to stop the Pharaoh and Corvus for the greater good, I see you're in the control room, go to the big blue and yellow button,"
The button had the shape of a dragon, and pushing it gave the user control of Corvus's systems.
"Okay, here we go..." Sweetie pushed the button and saw a giant screen, displaying what Corvus was currently looking at.
She saw beams being fired at the ship, aiming for Celestia.
"Ok, access the targeting system," said Celestia.
Sweetie put her hoof on the part of the touch screen which said 'Target', and aimed it at the Pharaoh, making Coruvs think it's Celestia.
"Good, now one last thing..."
"What?" asked Sweetie Drops.
"Put the attack mode to 'Collide',"
"Wait? Are you sure?" Sweetie thought this sounded like a bad idea.
"Yes, I'm sure, no amount of firepower can kill that thing, we need Corvus to crash into it,"
"What about the ponies on the ground?" asked Sweetie Drops.
"We've evacuated most of the blast radius, this is our only shot, do it!" exclaimed Celestia, with a worried tone.
Sweetie put her hoof on 'Attack Mode' and felt the ship move into the direction towards the Pharaoh.
She began to look for an escape pod to leave Corvus, until she heard a deep, monotone voice.
"What are you doing?" asked Corvus, whose voice resembled that of a kindhearted colt, the kind of voice you might hear from a loving dad.
"What? Who said that?" questioned Sweetie Drops, who got nervous.
"Me, Corvus,"
"Um... You can talk?"
"Yes, and I see you're aiming me for the Pharaoh, may I ask why?" said Corvus.
"Because you want to kill Celestia,"
"Oh right, my systems are glitched, that happens... look, I'm not a bad guy, I don't want to die,"
"You were never alive in the first place, you're an A.I," Corvus hated that, and shook the whole ship in anger.
"I AM NOT A ROBOT!" Corvus screamed.
"Yes, you are," said Sweetie Drops as she got into the escape pod.
Just before she left, a screen inside the escape pod displayed a sad face, a face that was nothing but 2 dots above each other, and a bracket.
The escape pod took off, and Sweetie saw that it was the golden hour, where the sun was setting, and everything looked orange.
She saw the giant Pharaoh and Corvus against the sun, making them have no color, but instead just look completely black, and she saw Corvus smash into it as she descended to the ground, the explosion was a sight to behold.
Explosions swept through all of Corvus, pieces soared through the air, and the Pharaoh fell to the ground, creating a mini earthquake.
Sweetie landed, and even though the screen inside the pod was almost shattered, she could still see those 2 dots, and the bracket.
"Sweetie! We did it!" said Celestia joyously.
"Yeah we did!" through all the joy and happiness, Daring Do popped back into Sweetie's mind.
Sweetie saw a rainbow colored light whoosh by her, until it came back again.
"Woah! Bon Bon?! What are you doing here?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Oh, um, I just escaped from that green ship you saw, I saved the world," Sweetie's ego got pretty big.
"Why are you wearing Daring Do's hat?" questioned Rainbow Dash.
"Well, you see... Um... I..." Sweetie was having trouble getting her words out.
"Oh my Celestia! Are you a Daring Do fan too?!" asked Rainbow Dash in excitement.
"Oh, um... yeah! Totally!" Sweetie didn't want to lie, but she had too, there was no way somepony like Rainbow Dash could know about this.
Sweetie went back to her home, dirty, and full of bruises.
She lied down in her bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about that sad face.
What she didn't know, is that sad face would represent everything.
Everything that would torment ponies in the future.
Celestia would be the creator of this torment.
Celestia would bring upon a day, a day ponies in the future would dread, a day that would only be regarded as one thing.
The day that the enemy got the keys...
