Chapter 2
Rainbow walked up to her new base, the base that she had planned out and the worker ponies built. She entered to find Applejack and Pinkie Pie in a fierce video game battle.
"YOU LOSE" said the window on the left of the screen.
"Dammit!" shouted AJ, throwing her controller down.
"No one beats Pinkie at video games!"
"That's because you use your Pinkie Sense…and I can still beat you." said Rainbow, now walking in the room.
"RAINBOW!" they all shouted and engulfed her in a group hug. Rainbow knew why. They had no time for formalities back at the meeting, and this was the only time to actually reunite.
"Alright…"
"You say you can beat me?" teased Pinkie.
"I know I can beat you."
They were walking towards the game when Twilight's patch rang.
"Guys, we need to get going. We got some rouge ponies terrorizing…wha….LAS PEGASUS?"
"That's a big deal. We need to hurry." said Rarity.
"Yea, doesn't Firefly live there?" asked Fluttershy.
"Yea, she does…and she's one of our best informers." said Pinkie.
"Let's go, Mane 6. Animal?" said Rainbow.
"Ready." replied Fluttershy.
"Egghead?"
"Ready." said a smiling Twilight.
"Cowboy?"
"Ready." replied Applejack.
"Diamond?"
"Ready." replied Rarity.
"And Psycho?"
"Ready." said Pinkie.
"Alright then…let's move."
Las Pegasus, 10:00 PM
"Egghead, what about those missiles?" said Rainbow, the sound going straight through her patch.
"Those sure as hell ain't ours, Speed…Psycho, what's going on down there?" asked Twilight, sitting on a cloud 60 feet from Rainbow using a spell.
"Not good. We have ponies wearing the changeling mark firing at everything that moves. Egghead, did you get Pink yet?"
"No, I didn't, hacking takes time…got it. Speed, talk to her."
Rainbow switched her patch to single feed and began talking.
"That you, Pink?" asked Rainbow. Pink was Firefly's codename.
"Yea, who is this?"
"This is Speed, we need to know where you are."
"Speed? Woah…whatcha doin' here?"
"Saving your ass. Ya got missiles?"
"They've been trying. You with anybody?"
"Psycho, Animal, Egghead, Diamond and Cowbody." Firefly whistled.
"The gang's back together, huh? Well, I sent you a location. You got it?"
"Yes, I have here. We're coming." She ended the call.
"Speed, we need heavy air support and right now! Their terrorizing the whole damn down and we won't be able to contain it on our own." replied Twilight. She could almost see Rainbow's smile through the radio.
"Man, I've wanted to do this ever since I became a general. Scooter." she said, not into her patch but into her regular walkie-talkie.
"Yes, Speed?" came a reply.
"Scramble the Wonderbolts."
Wonderbolts Training Center, 10:30 PM
Spitfire hated it when she was interrupted in her sleep…especially by Scootaloo.
"What the hell do you want, Scooter?" she groggily said into her walkie-talkie resting on the table.
"Rainbow has given you the order. Scramble the Wonderbolts."
A smile lit up on Spitfire's face.
"Where?"
"Las Pegasus. It's under attack."
"Celestia dammit…we're on it."
"Great. I'll tell Rainbow."
Las Pegasus, 10:40 PM
Rainbow held up her hoof gun, taking out three ponies…with two shots.
The hoof gun was a weapon specifically designed by the one and only Twilight Sparkle. It had 8 bullets in it, but could hold more if you wore a sleeve rather than a bracelet, like Rarity and Fluttershy. Rainbow knew she only needed eight and she could get a whole lotta crap done in 10 seconds flat. The worst part was attempting to reload the hoof gun. It takes about a minute and that is highly unfit for battle…unless you talked to Twilight, who made magic that automatically reloaded the gun from your pouch of bullets, taking 30 seconds. The hoof gun was regionally used by all the ponies in Equestria, but the special types were given to the mane 6 because they were all her friends.
"How ya doin, Egghead?" asked Rainbow over her patch.
"Not too well…I've been shot."
"Where?"
"Front left shoulder."
"Is Animal on it?"
"Yea, I should be fine. It grazed me, but I'm still under heavy fire."
"No you aren't." said Rainbow.
She flew up into the sky and found Twilight being cornered. She started firing from her hoof gun, taking out 11 of them with her eight bullets in the chamber. She flew down to Twilight.
"You okay?"
"Yea…Psycho."
"We're good here. Diamond ran into a little trouble, but it was taken care. Step to your right, Rainbow."
She immediately obliged and a huge rock fell right next to her.
"Thanks, Psycho."
"No problem. How's Cowboy?"
"She's good. She just kicked through a pony."
"Eww…Pink's house is right here."
They walked in to see Firefly with a hoof sleeve on and 7 dead ponies around her.
"Just missed the party, Dash."
"…wouldn't wanted to have attended."
"Twi, how are you?" asked Firefly sweetly.
"Great…did you find any info?"
"The changelings have a new king. I don't know who he is, but he seems dangerous. Did you scramble the Wonderbolts?"
"They're here? I didn't see that…" said Rainbow.
"Yea, and they're kicking ass! Anyways, what do you wanna do now?"
"We need to get you outta here. Firebrand." she said into her walkie-talkie.
"Yea, Speed?"
"Can you fly back to camp with Pink?"
"Absolutly. You guys go."
"You've seen them."
"Yea, and I don't want to know."
"Great. We're all getting outta here. See ya, Firebrand.
"See ya, Speed…and thanks.
"No problem. I've been wanting to do that since I first became the General."
Mane 6 HQ, 12:30 AM
"What a night…it's so great to be with you guys. I really gotta get some sleep."
"Cool, we'll be out here."
Pinkie heard her door close shut and quickly started talking.
"Rarity, I need party balloons. Twilight, streamers. Fluttershy, go get the presents from the basement and Applejack, go get the cake. It's a big day for our old friend tomorrow. I bet she thinks we forgot about the whole thing."
"You may be the General of the Coast Guard, but you can still throw one hell of a party." chuckled Twilight.
