The following takes place between 1:00pm and 2:00pm

Fluttershy gasped at the sight of a human. She can see the injuries, luckily he's alive. She lifted the body, placing him on a couch. He was groaning in pain, his mouth moved, struggling to speak. He rubbed his head. It took roughly a minute for his vision to return to normal. He stared at the yellow Pegasus with Pink mane and hair. "Now I lost it."

"You lost what?" Fluttershy asked.

"My mind."

"Oh my goodness. Your injuries are severe. We must get you to a hospital, and help you find your mind." Fluttershy rushed around looking for his "mind".

"It's just a figure of speech," he explained.

"Oh," Fluttershy said embarrassingly. "It's just I've never seen a creature like you. What's your name?"

"Jack Bauer, agent of Counter Terrorist Unit Division in Los Angeles."

"I'm Fluttershy," she spoke in a soft voice.

Jack can definitely see why she has that name. Her mane covered her left eye and her head was lower. He can see she's a kind caring creature, she wouldn't harm a fly.

"Could you explain what happened to me?" Jack asked.

"I was feeding the animals and then a loud crash spooked them. I tried to calm them down but they all ran off. I found a hole in the roof and my house was in a terrible mess. That's when I found you buried underneath." Fluttershy changed the topic. "What is this Counter Terrorist Unit?"

Jack was about to explain we he looked at Fluttershy. He's going to explain it to a talking Pegasus, living in world full of talking animals. He wasn't trained in this sort of field. He had to explain it in way she can understand. "It's an organisation that… stops bad people from committing bad things."

He felt embarrassed after explaining it. He still thought he's hallucinating. Fluttershy spotted the blood on Jack's head. "Oh dear, you're even more hurt. Better find my first aid kit."

She found a med kit on a shelf. She wrapped the bandage around Jack's head. He watched her heal the wound, he allowed her to check for other injuries. He felt the pain in his back and left leg. Fluttershy was very careful, she lifted his clothes to see bruises and scratches. She applied disinfectant before applying the plasters.

"Are you OK now?" Fluttershy asked.

"Better," Jack spoke with relief. "The first thing I need to do is to find out how I ended up here."

A newspaper hit the front door. Fluttershy went outside to pick it up. The news of the hostage takeover at Sugarcube Corner was on the front page. Jack can see it after Fluttershy unravelled it. "Didn't know there was a robbery."

Fluttershy raised her eyebrows in confusion. She looked at the front page, she can see Pinkie Pie and the Cakes next to one of the police ponies. She only focused on the photo and the headline: Sugarcube Corner Robbery Foiled by Employee. "I'm glad Pinkie Pie and the Cakes are safe."

Jack noticed the date and time on the paper. "This happened today?"

"Oh yes, news travels very fast here in Equestria."

"Same with where I live," Jack muttered.

A knock on the door got Fluttershy's attention. She opened the door to see one of her friends. "Hello Twilight."

"Hey Fluttershy, want to come to Ponyville? The Mayor is giving a reward to Pinkie Pie for saving the Cakes."

"OK." Fluttershy checked on Jack for a brief second. "Just let finish something."

She walked to Jack. "I have to go, just get plenty of rest."

Jack nodded and Fluttershy nodded back. Angel Bunny hopped over to see a human, lying injured on the sofa.

"Can you watch over Mr. Bauer while I'm gone?" Fluttershy asked.

Angel Bunny nodded and gave a military salute. Fluttershy left the house and Angel bunny hopped near Jack. He checked his watch. He quickly noticed it stopped ticking, making it difficult to determine when he arrived. It's severely broken from the fall. Jack reached in his pocket, pulling out his cell phone. He managed to turn it on, and there's no reception. "Guess I'm stuck in this world."

Angel Bunny nodded in agreement.

1:14PM

Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle entered Ponyville for the ceremony. All of Equestria gathered around. Mayor Mare stood near the podium. Two Pegasi, one with blue mane and green skin, and one with puce mane and goldenrod skin; watched near the town hall. They couldn't concentrate with Pinkie Pie being excited for getting a reward.

"I can't wait this is so exciting! I busted criminal and I'm getting a reward!" Pinkie zoomed everywhere, she can't keep still.

Rainbow Dash stopped Pinkie by landing in front of her. Pinkie immediately stopped before crashing.

"Can't you slow down for five minutes? At least, wait until the mayor announces your name?"

"Okie-dokie!"

"Thank Celestia that Pegasus managed to stop that earth pony," said the goldenrod Pegasus.

"She seriously needs to see a psychiatrist," said the green Pegasus.

Derpy Hooves flew by with her bag full of letters. It was a heavy load. It landed near the Pegasi with a thump. They lifted off the ground by a few inches. Derpy floated down. "Sorry. That bag contained so many letters and parcels, that it hurts my back."

She dipped her head inside pulling out two letters. "Are you Long Range and Drop Shot?"

The Pegasi responded they were and Derpy struggled with the heavy bag. She panted and flapped her wings like a fly.

They wiped off the ink revealing their real names. The goldenrod Pegasus named Drop Shot is actually Epsilon. The Green Pegasus named Long Range is actually Zeta. They ripped open the envelopes containing a letter. They're written in a specially made ink only they can read.

"It's my pleasure to reward a pony so brave, one of her tools of the trade can also save a pony's life. I, mayor of Ponyville, will give this medal for bravery and courage." She showed them a medal of a pony in gold, tied to a ribbon with the same colours as Celestia's mane.

Pinkie pie couldn't wait so she chased near the podium, just before the mayor announced her name. She placed the medal over Pinkie's head. Everybody in Ponyville knows her name. There wasn't any need for announcing her name.

"I'm so glad to receive this award. I never received an award, there was one time when I was a filly." Pinkie talked at a fast pace. None of the ponies were able to hear every word.

"Pinkie's very excited to receive such an honor," said Fluttershy.

"Did any of you hear of a police force?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"We have," replied Applejack. "They just came out of the blue with no explanation."

Pinkie finished her speech in less than a minute. She galloped off the podium before any pony gave an applause. She rejoined with her friends, who couldn't wait to see the medal. Rainbow Dash was the first to gaze at it. "It's amazing."

"That ribbon is beautifully designed," said Rarity.

"We are all proud of you Pinkie." Twilight congratulated her the most.

1:28pm

Sweetie Belle lifted the folder from the chest. She placed it on the table, spreading out the sheets of paper. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at the documents. They scratched their heads in confusion.

"Who would want to replace these?" asked Apple Bloom.

Sweetie Belle remembered something. "When I made the folder appear, I saw some invisible printing on them."

"There's something on them?" Scootaloo asked.

"I don't know how, but I will try to make it appear." Sweetie Belle gave herself some room. She closed her eyes and magic glowed on her horn.

The printing slowly appeared on the documents. It's written in a code they don't understand. Every character is a symbol, most of them seem ancient.

"Must be a different language," Apple Bloom suggested.

"Yet we don't know what it means," said Scootaloo.

A knock on the door alerted them. They think the crimson unicorn is back. The door knocked again, only it didn't sound like some pony was about to burst in. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were puzzled. Apple Bloom crept closer to place her hoof on the handle. After opening the door, an injured Pegasus collapsed.

He had broken wings with some of his feathers missing. His eyes bruised and swollen. His wounded back had dried blood mixed with mud. He didn't wear any horseshoes, they're removed by force.

They dragged the tortured Pegasus inside. He was groaning in pain. They removed the damaged armour and clothing.

"He's wounded badly," Scootaloo spoke worryingly.

Sweetie Belle rushed to find a first aid kit. Apple Bloom approached the Pegasus cautiously. "Who are you?"

He grabbed Apple Bloom's mane and dragged her near his mouth.

"Do not let them have it. Once they seize it, everything will end in chaos." The Pegasus felt his throat ache when he spoke.

"He's referring to the symbols you found," Apple Bloom said to Sweetie Belle.

"Who did this to you?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"The crimson unicorn," he whispered.

The fillies started to worry. They approached the Pegasus to learn more.

"I was the one who placed those document in the Post Office. It was originally sent to one of the employees who knows the language. I couldn't risk exposing his name."

"Who is this pony you speak of?" Scootaloo asked.

"He's an undercover agent like me. I'm supposed to receive the decoded script hidden in the documents, drop it in the Post Office, so a colleague can decipher it. It's a vital step in stopping this hidden organisation."

They thought for a bit. They didn't have much time so they decided to help.

"We can assume he's right," said Sweetie Belle retrieving the folder.

"We should go to the library to learn more about this decoded message," said Scootaloo.

"We better be careful on who we meet. They could persuade us in-"

A stray arrow pierced through the wall. They screamed and jumped. Apple Bloom hid under a table, Sweetie Belle laid flat on the floor, and Scootaloo landed on the chest.

After turning around, they got a fright to see the arrow impaling the Pegasus' head. They almost screamed before covering their mouths. They took the folder and climbed out the window. They knew whoever killed that Pegasus, will be coming after them.

1:40pm

Fluttershy arrived home to check on Jack. He was lying on the couch staring at the ceiling. "How are feeling?"

"OK, I guess." Jack did check his injuries, he lied there for nearly an hour.

Angel Bunny did some last minute check-ups. He gave thumbs up to Fluttershy, indicating that Jack's right about his condition.

Jack struggled to get up. He can feel the pain in his arms and legs. He sat up straight and looked at Fluttershy. He doesn't know whether he's growing accustomed to her, or his head injury made him hallucinate.

"I think I should leave," said Jack.

Fluttershy opened the door for him. "Hope we'll see each other again."

Jack smiled back before leaving. Angel Bunny waved back.

1:53pm

The Cutie Mark Crusaders managed to escape before they got captured. They decided on they should do.

"We should head for Twilight's house," said Sweetie Belle.

"Good idea," agreed Apple Bloom. "Hopefully we'll get some answers."

They arrived at the front door, nobody answered after they knocked. The door swung open, inside was a gigantic mess. Books and broken furniture scattered everywhere. Shards of glass and sheets of paper covered the stairs. Spike crawled out from under the book shelf.

"Hi girls," said a voice coming from behind.

They turned around to see Twilight Sparkle. Before she spoke, Scootaloo interrupted. "Your house is ran sacked!"

Twilight was in shock of the sight. She rushed over to help an injured Spike. "Who did this?"

"I was taking a nap when some ponies broke in and tore up the place. They roughed me up, asking me where I hid some documents."

Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, now knew things were getting serious.
