Metal Gear Sparkle
Twilight walk back in the castle and saw some of the guards, only the blue glow in their eyes were gone. They look at Twilight then draw their spears. "Stand down, it Twilight." Shining said walking up to her. Twilight smile and hug Shining when he was close.
"As soon as I got back in the castle I saw the guards shaking their heads like they woke up from a dream. I fill them up on what happen and they are sorry if the did anything to hurt you." He explain. Twilight nods and looks back at Firestorm.
"Shining, can you let me visit that pony over there? He was just being just use by Dusklight to do the bad things he did." Twilight said still feeling sorry about him. Shining look at Twilight eyes and saw the look in her eyes. She did feel sorry about him.
"Sure." He said,
"And one more thing, no of them hit me. I was sneaking pass them and two of them fell for a trick." Twilight said.
"What was that?" Shining ask.
"I was spotted by one of them and hind myself in a box." Twilight smile. The Night and Day guards turn to the two that was blushing at the action that they remember. Everypony bust out laughing not believing they fell for the oldest trick in the book. Twilight look around, this wasn't all the night and day guards, the others must still be under mind control. Two guards carry Firestorm and took him to the prisons. Twilight watch as he was taking away and Snake spoke up.
"Still feel sorry for him?"
"Yeah, I guess he just want to have a friend, he look lonely."
"Hm, guess I can't disagree with you there, but what did he mean by you are being use? I'm not using you at all I'm just giving help."
"I don't know Snake. We do have a clue are what Dusklight is working on but it still doesn't tell us what is."
"Well, better started looking for my clues."
Twilight was brought out her talk with Snake when Shining tap her shoulder. "Are you ok Twily? You stood there like you were in another world or something."
"I'm fine Shining, just thinking on what Firestorm told me after the fight we had." She answer.
"And I said you did a good job at it, Dear Sister." said a voice that cause everypony to look up.
"Dusklight Sparkle!" Twilight yell and ready her horn.
"Now, now, is that any way to treat your own twin sister? Though we don't look alike, we still are." Dusklight said.
"What ever are you building we will stop you!" Shining yell as all the guards ready their horns and spears.
"HA!HA!HA! You ready think so, huh?" Dusklight said, then turn to Twilight.
"So tell me dear sister had is it like to find out you are a clone of a war hero?" She ask.
Twilight just stood there not saying anything. Dusklight laugh.
"You was told right, Solid Sparkle?" she ask.
Twilight just stood there looking at her.
"Well I hope you have fun with the fight with Firestorm." Dusklight said. The two Sparkles stare at each other before Dusklight spoke again.
"I too have a code name. It Liquid Sparkle." She said.
"Liquid Sparkle?" Twilight ask.
"Did she just said Liquid?"
"Yeah, she did."
"Dammit, That not good."
"What do you mean?"
"Liquid is the name of my twin brother, only I don't see him as my brother."
"Talking to Solid Snake, dear sister?" Dusklight ask bring her out of her thoughts.
"What how did you..." Twilight ask surprise.
"I too have an snake inside me, only thing is he a Liquid Snake and he want to talk to you all." Dusklight said and close her eyes. When she open them an new look in her eyes.
"Hello Twilight Sparkle." Dusklight said, only Twilight had feeling this is not Dusklight.
"You must be Liquid Snake." She guess.
"I see my brother has told about me." Liquid spoke through Dusklight.
Twilight just stood there, knowing she can't do anything yet. Liquid smile.
"You and Snake can switch as well, you just have to learn how to work together." He said.
"What are you talking about Dusklight?" Shining ask.
"Heh, heh, why don't you ask your sister?" Liquid ask back.
Shining turn to Twilight, who was growling at Dusklight and Liquid.
"Well I had my talk, farewell for now Twilight Sparkle and Brother." Liquid said before turn back to Dusklight.
"So had I, time to go and we will met again dear sister." Dusklight said before casting a bright light that blind them for a second. When they can see again Dusklight was gone. Shining turn back to Twilight who now look like she was lost in her mind, but really was talking to Snake again
"So that Liquid Snake your brother?"
"Yes, but like I said before I don't see him as my brother."
"Well I don't see Dusklight as my sister, I have a family."
"Listen Twilight you aren't the only one that a clone. Me and Liquid as clones as well."
"What?"
"We are clones of a war hero too, his name is Big Boss."
"Big Boss, who that?"
"Big Boss was a war hero like I said. He even train me a bit. Then I later discover he was my father."
"Your father?"
"Yeah, but he really didn't treat me like a son. I was always out on the battle field, so I never knew until he told me himself. And there more. I was able to kill him, twice."
"You kill your own father twice?! But why?!"
"Sorry Twilight but I can tell you, I promise not to tell anyone."
"Ok I understand."
"Hey Twilight, we need to talk." Shining interrupt the two.
Twilight was brought out of the talk with Snake and turn to her brother.
"Sorry Shining, but what Dusklight and Liquid say are true, I have a Snake in me. A Solid Snake." Twilight said.
"And can he talk to us as well." Shining ask.
"No. Only to me. Like Liquid said we have to learn how to do it." Twilight answer.
Shining look at her. Then look back at the guards. They too was confuse by all this. Twilight look away, inside hear mind she could hear Snake grunt. Shining then put a hoof on her shoulder and turn her around and gave her a big hug.
"Snake or not, You and him are allies in my book." He said still hugging her. Twilight started to tear up and hug him back.
"Twilight!" a voice carried out. Twilight let go and turn to her friends that come running up to her.
"Girls, what are you doing here?" Twilight ask.
"We got worry so we came to check on you, Darling." Rarity said.
"Whoa, what happen here?!" Rainbow Dash said looking around.
"Well I was fighting a pony name Firestorm who can turn himself into flames like I once did and we kind of thrash the place during the fight I guess." Twilight explain.
"Wowe! A pony that can turn into fire!" Pinkie yell.
"Wait, what going on here? At first you're sneaking past the guards and now they look confuse?" Apple Jack ask once she notice the guards.
"It not that they are confuse on what they were doing, they are confuse about Twilight and Dusklight." Shining answer.
"Well I can understand Dusklight by what about Twilight?" Rainbow Dash ask.
Twilight explain the whole meting with Dusklight and to them about Liquid and Snake. After she was done her friends were highly surprise.
"But Twilight, aren't you afraid of Snakes?" Fluttershy ask.
"He not an snake at all, Fluttershy.", Twilight said, "His name is Snake, Solid Snake."
"And who is this Liquid guy?" Rainbow Dash ask.
"From what I know, he's Snake's brother. He also call's himself Liquid Snake." Twilight answer.
"So you and Dusklight have brothers inside you?" Rarity ask.
"Like me and Dusklight, they are twins, but Snake doesn't see him as his brother." Twilight said.
"Really? That new." Rainbow Dash said.
"And like me and Dusklight they are clones of a war hero." Twilight said.
They guards heard that part.
"Wait you are a clone of a war hero?" One of them ask.
"Twilight maybe a clone but she still my sister." Shining said.
"We understand that captain, but which war hero is she a clone of?" Another ask.
"Sunlight Sparkle." Twilight answer.
That caught all the guards by surprise. "A clone of Sunlight Sparkle?!" They all shouted.
"And so is Dusklight, that why she calls me sister." Twilight added. The guards talk along themselves for a while.
Then they bow went Celestia and Luna walk in. They walk up to Twilight and Celestia smile.
"A clone or not, Sunlight hope for the best for you and even if this Solid Snake inside you is welcome here." She said.
Twilight nods and heard Snake scoff. She roll her eyes before remembering no pony can see him. She blush and smile sheepishly at her mistake.
"Snake said something?" Celestia ask smiling.
"No, just scoff." Twilight answer.
Celestia slowly shook her head but smile none less. Twilight then look away. She had a mission to complete. She had time to think what Dusklight told her later, right now she had to get more clues on the weapon she was building. She turn back to Celestia.
"I'm sorry Princess Celestia, but I need to get going. I have to find out what Dusklight is building." Twilight ask and Celestia nods. Twilight walk pass them and stop at her friends.
"Go get them Twili." Apple Jack said.
"Show that Dusklight who boss." Rainbow Dash added.
"Be careful" Fluttershy said meekly.
"And hope Snake keeps you clean, because I what to see if I can make a sneak suit of my own." Rarity said. Twilight roll eyes and Snake did the same.
"And maybe your new twin sister will become friends and we can throw a huge party!" Pinkie said hyper as usually.
"Snake said he doubt that and I agree with him." Twilight said. Pinkie pouted but had another idea.
"Not now Pinkie, we got to stop Dusklight and Liquid." Twilight said and walk pass them. She stop at the door and look back at everypony and smile. Then walk put the door.
Twilight walk down the hallway and enter the main room. She walk to the door that lead to the garden. She unlock it and enter the door. As soon as she did, the sheath mode came back to her. She lower herself to the ground and walk slowly across the hall. She enter a room the was full with mind control guards. She got on her belly and crawl along the floor. She crawl until she reach the next door.
She enter and quickly walk through the next room. There was one guard there. So she sneak behind him and drew her knife and grab him.
"What is going on here? How did Dusklight know where I was?" She said in her strong voice.
The guard was scare and answer, "She has her ways of watching somepony, but I don't know how."
"Twilight kept her grip on him and ask, "What do you know about the weapon Dusklight is working on?"
"Not a whole lot, but I did hear that somepony told her about it, but there was no name on who." He answer.
"I believe you." Twilight said and knock the guard out. She hind him behind some boxes and sneak away from him and fond a place to hide.
"Snake, did you think Liquid told Dusklight about the weapon?"
"Do I even need to answer that?"
"Thought you might said that."
"Well keep looking for clues."
Twilight move from her hiding place and sneak to the next room. Once she enter there an guard jump her. Twilight act fast by using her CQC to throw him off and knock him out.
"How did he know I was coming?" Twilight ask herself. She shook it off and move on. She sneak across and a few times use the box she had. Even since the jump that was on her she started to hide herself more. Snake on the other hand was trying to figure the clue Firestorm gave them. He couldn't place but it felt he knew what it was. He watch Twilight sneak across room from room trying to get to the garden and stop the next whoever was waiting for her. Snake admitted Twilight was becoming more like him. She was even using her strong voice more offed.
Twilight finally reach the door that learn to the garden. First she check herself, she wasn't hurt, her knife was still on her, and for some reason she also check her Bandana. Twilight knew check to see if Snake was ready, which he was. She open the door and step into the garden.
As soon as Twilight did, she knew she wasn't alone. Twilight look around waiting for something to happen. She knew Dusklight will send somepony to stop her, but it was to quiet. Then Twilight heard something move in the brushes, then was surround by mind control guards. Twilight draw her knife and ready her horn.
Nopony move. Twilight fond it strange that were hiding like they were waiting for her. Also like they knew she was coming.
"Well I see you made it here Solid Sparkle." said a voice from above.
Twilight look up and saw a Pegasus flying over them. She aim her horn at it.
"My, are you a quick one dear." The Pegasus said. Twilight says noting and kept her horn aim at her, while Snake use Twilight eyes to look around to make sure none of the guards sneak up on her. Then he hear something behind them.
"Twilight behind you!" He shouted. Twilight look back and saw a night running up behind her. Twilight use the CQC and held the night guard in place.
"You are good fighter.", The Pegasus said, "Everypony back off, I'll fight her alone." Twilight release the guard and look at the Pegasus.
"I'm call Physic Pegasus and there no way you can beat me because I can read you every thought." She said.
"Great another physic." Snake said in her mind.
"You deal with one before?"
"Yeah, listen I don't know if she can read your mind but I have away to help you."
"Really how?"
"I far as I know a Physic can read only one mind, so if can find away pass this barrier I can block your thoughts with my own."
"I going Rainbow Dash words here, that sounds awesome."
"Just your mind clean."
Twilight aim her horn back at Physic Pegasus and fire. Physic Pegasus move to the side and laugh. Twilight aim again and fire once more. Again Physic Pegasus dodge it. What Twilight was really doing was buying Snake some time to break the barrier so she can use her own plans while Snake fills her with false one and didn't what Physic Pegasus to find out about their plan.
Physic Pegasus then rise her hoof and lift a brush of the ground. If Twilight wasn't busy fighting, she would had a bunch of questions to ask her. Like how she can lift things without a horn, but had to keep a clear head so Snake can help her. Twilight roll out of the way of the brush and fire her horn. The shot hit Physic Pegasus and she floated in place for a bit then laugh.
Twilight ready her horn again and quickly roll away when she change at her. Physic Pegasus change at Twilight again and Twilight roll out of the way and fire her magic. Once again Physic Pegasus just floated there and laugh
"Finally, Twilight I got through! Ready yourself." Snake said. Twilight nods and then feels an new thought that wasn't hers appear. It hurt her a little but let it come. Snake full her head with and plan that said roll forward and shoot. But really Twilight plan was to roll forward and hit her form behind. Twilight let Snake thought over take her mind and Physic Pegasus read it.
"Well, that a simple plan you have Solid Sparkle but it won't stop me!" She said and cast a shield around the front of her. Then Twilight use her real plan. It work, she hit Physic Pegasus from behind.
"WHAT?!" She shouted.
Twilight smile and let another one for Snake enter her mind, while cover her real plan. This went on for a few minutes until Physic Pegasus scream and fell to the ground. Twilight turns to the guards that shook their heads like they just woke up from a dream. The she turn back to Physic Pegasus who lay confuse.
"How did you beat me? I was reading your mind." She ask.
"Physic Pegasus, You didn't know but I have two minds, and you can only read one." Twilight explain.
"Two minds? How can you have two?" Physic Pegasus ask again.
"Inside my mind I have a friend that is helping me. All those thoughts you read was his, not my." Twilight said.
Physic Pegasus thought about and then said, "You are trying to figure out Dusklight weapon she right? I know what it is."
"You do? Please tell me." Twilight ask.
"I had trouble on what is, but fond it name. Dusklight call it Metal Gear." She answer.
"Metal Gear?!" Snake shouted in Twilight mind. Twilight flinch at shout.
"Snake what a Metal Gear?"
"A Metal Gear is a high dangerous weapon that can destroy anything with a simple attack. I have fought many Metal Gears and there always another one after I stop the last one."
"What! We got to warn the Princesses!"
"Maybe I can help ." Physic Pegasus said bring Twilight out of her talk with Snake.
"To find the Metal Gear, you need to head to the throne room. Behind the throne is a switch that leads to an hidden passage that will lead to a underground hanger. There is where the Metal Gear hides." She said.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Twilight ask.
"You are special, Solid Sparkle. You and Dusklight are part of a great war that happen along time ago." Physic Pegasus said.
"Twilight just looks at her and said, "You should rest. After all this maybe you can use you powers to help others."
"Help others? That sounds nice, maybe I not a freak after all." She said.
"Who can you a freak?" Twilight ask.
"Everypony. Once I fond about my powers I started to use them to show them I'm not a normal freak." She explain.
"Hey, along time ago I never had any friends. All that change when I met five pony I never thought I met and learn many things on friendship. You can too. I already think you of a friend even after all what happen." Twilight told her.
"A friend? That make you my very first friend." Physic Pegasus said and fell asleep.
Twilight smile and walk away. The guards pick up Physic Pegasus and took her to the prisons.
Twilight walk back into the castle and thought on what Physic Pegasus told her.
'I got to tell Princess Celestia about Metal Gear.' She thought as she walk thought the hall.
