My Little Pony: Will Of Fire

The Fire Element Alicorn

Chapter 8

I Spy

It was Twilight's birthday today and everyone was going to have the party take place at Apple Acres at night. Unfortunately, Flareon still didn't have a present to give her, so he decided to look around town. Eventually, an old, run-down shop called Marvelous Antiques caught the corner of his eye. As he walked inside, Flareon looked around to see a bunch of old things everywhere. As he rang the bell on the front counter, Flareon said, "Hello...is anyone here?" Suddenly, two elder looking unicorns sprang up out of nowhere. "Ah...you two scared me! Wait...where did you come from anyway?" The male unicorn on the right replied, "Excuse me...do you have any business here?" "Um...yeah. You see...my wife's birthday is today and I still don't have a present to give her. Since I figured since she likes history and stuff, maybe she would like an old book or something," Flareon said. The female unicorn on the left replied, "Very well...we have a bookshelf over on your right." As Flareon walked over to it, he looked at the bookshelf and then picked three random books from it. As Flareon put the books on the counter, he said, "I think these should about do it. I bet Twilight is going to love these!" The two elder unicorns looked at each other strangely and then looked at Flareon and both said together, "We've been waiting for you Agent 47. We're glad you see you arrived right on time." Flareon tried to reply, but then the female unicorn revealed a secret button on the counter and activated it. Soon after, a trap door under Flareon opened up and he fell right through it. For what seemed like two minutes, Flareon was sliding down a long, constantly twisting slide. Suddenly it ended, and Flareon came tumbling out. As he rubbed his head, Flareon said, "What was that all about?" When Flareon looked up, he saw the two elder unicorns standing in front of him, but suddenly they both ripped off their faces, revealing that they had been wearing masks. They actually weren't elders at all, they were both about his age. Flareon frantically got up and said, "Ok...who are you two and where am I...what is going on here?" The two unicorns simply replied together, "The commander will be with you shortly." As they began to walk away, a voice behind Flareon said, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Agent 47."

Flareon quickly turned around to see an elder earth pony looking at him. "Agent 47? Who is that? Wait a minute...don't tell me you're wearing a mask too...are you?" The elder pony laughed and said, "Nice to see your as sharp as ever! My name is Louis and I'm the commander of the Ponyville branch, but I'm sure your commander told you already." He then held out his hoof and while Flareon was shaking it, he began to look around and noticed he was standing in a huge room where ponies were sitting in front of computers talking on head sets, some were sitting down around a table while a pony was showing them something on a 3D models of a building, and some where testing out these weapons on test dummies. "Oh I get it...very funny everyone," Flareon said as he began to laugh, "Alright...come out Applejack, Rainbow Dash...everyone. I know your behind this!" "No need to worry Agent 47, this headquarters is perfectly guarded and impossible to break into. I'm positive you won't have to worry about your enemies here," Louis replied. "Ok...wait a minute. All I did was just buy a couple of books for my wife Twilight," Flareon said. "Well...of course Agent 47, that was the secret password. You were supposed to arrive at 8am, buy three books that were meant for your wife, and whose named started with a T. The Agency of Spies always follows the triple pass code to make sure we don't have ordinary citizens accidently getting recruited," Louis replied. "Triple pass code? Well that apparently is flawed and...wait. Did you just say Agency of Spies?" Louis began to laugh again while Flareon was till trying to figure out what was going on. "Ah...Agent 47. I didn't know that you were such a joker. I might as well play along too," Louis replied as he began to tell Flareon who the Agency of Spies were. "We are a secret organization of spies whose mission is to protect Equestria for certain destruction. We deal with everything from terrorists, extremists, aliens, and demons. Not even Princess Celestia or Princess Luna knows about us." Flareon didn't know if he should laugh or not because he was so baffled by what Louis had just said. Agency of Spies? Aliens and demons? Not to mention, Celestia and Luna don't even know this organization even exists. This couldn't be real...could it? "Well Agent 47...I'm guessing you would like to meet you partner now." Before Flareon could respond, a female earth pony appeared before him. "It's a please to meet you Agent 47. I'm Agent 35, but you can call me Zoey. Would you mind me asking what your names is?" "Um...hi Zoey. My name is Flareon," he replied. After they had introduced themselves, Louis began to walk toward his desk at the middle of the room while saying, "Agent 47 and 35...I believe it is time I debrief you on your mission."

After Louis sat down on a chair near his desk, he push a button which activated the display on the table. Soon after, a 3D model of a large skyscraper appeared before Flareon and Zoey. "This is the Ultor Corp. building in Manehattan. This is where the devious Mundus is planning on opening the gate to the demon world, which will allow the demons to come into our world. Mundus is planning on using the demons to complete take over Equestria. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go to Manehattan and stop Mundus's plan by any means necessary!" Louis proclaimed. Flareon let out a small laugh and said, "Ok...fine. I'll go along with this for a while, but we better be back before tonight or else Twilight is going to kill me." After Flareon and Zoey both accepted the mission, Louis brought them to a slim, fast-looking subway train. "This train here connects to every city and town located within 100 miles. It won't take you long to get to Manehattan from here. Once you both arrive, an agent will be there to provide you with your equipment. Good luck!" Louis said as Flareon and Zoey boarded the train. In no time at all, the train quickly began to move as they both headed towards Manehattan at top speed.

It didn't take long for them to reach Manehattan, because after only a couple of minutes, the train began to stop. After Flareon and Zoey got out, they climbed some spiraling stairs, and after opening a hatch, they managed to make it into a kitchen. After they got out, a pony came to them with a bag and said, "Welcome to Manehattan Agent 47 and 35. Here is your equipment of the usual. Some smoke bombs, a taser gun, and two decoy holograms. Good luck on your mission!" After Zoey strapped the bag around her, the pony went back to cooking food. "Well then...I suppose we better head for the Ultor Corp. building," said Zoey. Even though Flareon had accepted this mission, he was wondering what happened to the real Agent 47. As they were walking on the sidewalk, they began to see the Ultor Corp. building come into view. "Well...here's goes nothing," Zoey said as they walked into the main lobby. It didn't take long before he realized something was off. "Hey...this is a corporation building right? Where are the employees at? They aren't all on break...are they?" Flareon asked. As they were about to reach the elevator, Zoey replied, "Mundus is planning on opening the demon gate today, so I'm guessing he probably fired all his workers. With demons at his side, I doubt he would have any need for his employees anymore, but he may have kept some as bodyguards. Either way, we must hurry!" Usually in almost every movie, the main villain is always located on the top floor of a building or structure. "Zoey...the elevator isn't going to work. I'm pretty sure Mundus isn't just going to let us just go directly to him just like that." To his surprise, after Zoey push the elevator button, it opened right up without any problem. After they got in, Zoey pushed the top floor button, and they slowly began to go up.

Unfortunately, the elevator soon stopped and Flareon said, "See I told you...it wasn't going to be that easy." Zoey then opened the bag on her back and took out a couple smoke bombs and gave them some to Flareon. "When I say now, let's both throw them out. These should give us enough time to make it to the stairs," Zoey whispered as the elevator door began to open. Soon after, they saw a large group of ponies in front of them. The pony in front yelled, "Get them!" As they began to charge at them, Zoey yelled, "Now!" and they both threw the smoke bombs on the ground. Smoke soon enveloped the area and Flareon and Zoey quickly took advantage of the situation. After they made it to the stairs, they ran up them as fast as possible only to have the stairs end with a door. Before Zoey opened it, she once again went through her bag and took out the taser gun. "I always loved using these!' she said. After Zoey opened the door, a really big earth pony stood before them and said, "Where do you two little ponies think you're going?" The big pony was only able to move a few feet before Zoey shot the pony with the taser gun. As the big pony fell to the ground paralyzed, Flareon and Zoey quickly went through the door at the end of the hallway, and once again ran up the stairs to another door. This time Zoey took out two silver spheres which had to be the decoy holograms. After she activated them, Zoey told Flareon to stand near the side of the door. Suddenly, it opened and a group of ponies tried to attack the two holograms, but they instead went right through them, and tumbled down the stairs. Since she had used all the equipment from her bag, Zoey took if off and dropped it on the ground. Soon after, they continued to climb up the building.

Luckily for Flareon and Zoey, they didn't meet anymore guards the rest of the way. When they reached the top floor, a big bronze door stood before them. "Agent 47...I mean Flareon. Are you ready for this? There's no telling what Mundus will do to keep us from stopping him." Flareon smiled and looked at her. "Don't worry Zoey...I'm ready. Let's do this!" They both walked up to the door, and slowly pushed it open. When they got inside the room, a voice from behind a chair said, "Well what do we have here? You pesky ponies sure have caused a lot of commotion. I wonder how I should kill you?" Suddenly, the chair turned around, and the evil alicorn was seen grinning mischievously. Flareon and Zoey quickly began to charge at Mundus, but he simply used his magic to send them crashing into the wall. Mundus then used his magic again and metal chains suddenly came out of the walls and wrapped around Flareon and Zoey. Mundus then walked over to the wall on the right side of the room that had a black outline of a circle painted on it. "I think it's about time I got this party started. Once the clock hits 7pm, the planets will be perfectly aligned, and then I will finally be able to open the demon gate. I applaud you two for trying to stop me, but it's over...behold!" As the clock hit 7pm, Mundus then used his magic on the black circle and it suddenly began to glow bright red. It was almost like looking through a window as Flareon and Zoey could see a bunch of demons coming towards the portal. It wouldn't be long before the demons came into their world, and when they did, it would be too late to stop hem. Flareon then realized that he was running out of time to stop Mundus and also, Twilight's birthday party was going to begin in one hour. "Alright...I've had enough of this spy and demon nonsense. I have to get back to Ponyville now!" Flareon said as he used his fire magic to melt the chains off him. As he landed on the ground, Mundus began to laugh. "You're too late...nothing can stop me now...Equestria is mine!" Unfortunately for Mundus, he had let down his guard and closed his eyes while laughing and basking in the glory of his victory too early, because when he opened them, Mundus saw Flareon running towards him. "Would you shut up already?!" Flareon said as he jumped up to kick Mundus in the face. The force of his kick was so strong that Mundus went flying straight into the portal, and after a few seconds, the portal closed. Since Mundus was now gone, the chains around Zoey quickly vanished, and she fell to the ground, only to be caught by Flareon. "Thank you so much Flareon, not only did you save me, you also defeated Mundus and saved Equestria!" Zoey replied while blushing. As Flareon let Zoey down, he said, "That's great and all, it really is, but...can't we please hurry back to Ponyville?" Soon after leaving the Ultor Corp. building, they hurried back into the restaurant, went into the kitchen, down the secret hatch, into the train, and quickly sped back to Ponyville.

After they got back to headquarters, Louis and everyone congratulated Flareon and Zoey on a mission accomplished. "Well done Agent 47 and 35, I knew you could do it!" Zoey smiled and said, "It wouldn't have been possible without Flareon. He's the real reason why we succeeded in defeating Mundus." Just as everyone was giving Flareon a congratulatory cheer, a pony began to whisper in Louis's ear. As Louis nodded in agreement to something, the pony quickly disappeared into another room and soon after, a male pegasus appeared. "Flareon...may I have a word with you?' Louis asked. As Flareon walked up to them he said, "I have just heard some interesting news...it seems that this pegasus is saying that he is Agent 47. It seems he was late because of an unfortunate circumstance. He also answered the triple pass code correctly, just as you did. Would you mind explain what is going on Agent 47?" It seems that Flareon could no longer hide the truth anymore. "You see...I'm not actually Agent 47. All I simply did was buying a couple of books for my wife as a birthday present...that was it. Even though it seems impossible, I managed to somehow say your triple pass code and got thrown into all this by accident." Louis and the real Agent 47 simply stared at him baffled until Louis signaled for a pony nearby, who brought him what seemed to be a big pen and a pair of sunglasses. After Louis and Agent 47 put the sunglasses on, Louis said, "Flareon...would you do me a favor and look directly as this pen?" As Flareon was looking it, the pen suddenly flashed a bright red light and soon after, he had somehow returned back at the counter of Marvelous Antiques, but for some reason, his memory was a little hazy. Apparently, the bright flash from the pen Louis was holding was a memory eraser. It seems that Louis erased Flareon's memory of everything including the Agency of Spies and what had taken place today, including the fight with Mundus. "Wait...was I here before? I have a feeling of deja vu for some reason. Oh...that's right! I have to get Twilight a birthday present!" As he looked around the room, Flareon spotted something on the counter. "What is this?" Flareon said as he picked it up, but when he saw what time it was, he began to panic. "It's 8pm already?! I have to get to Apple Acres now! I just hope Twilight likes my birthday present!" As quickly as he could, Flareon flew over to Apple Acres.

As he made it to Apple Acres, Flareon could hear everyone singing the happy birthday song. "Happy Birthday Twilight!" everyone said together. "Thank you!" Twilight replied as she smiled. Suddenly a voice from her right said, "Happy...Birthday...Twilight." When she turned her head, Twilight could see that Flareon was still trying to catch his breath. "Where have you been Flareon?!" Rainbow Dash said from across the table. Flareon tried to remember, but the last 12 hours were still absent from his mind. "I don't know...I was at this store and...oh right." He then placed the thing he had taken from the counter of Marvelous Antiques and put it on the table. "Here's your present Twilight. A brand new pen! You know...since you love to write and always are sending letters to Princess Celestia." Twilight picked up the pen and replied, "I love it! Thank you so much Flareon!" Meanwhile, back at the Agency of Spies, Louis and Agent 47 were talking about the situation that took place with Flareon. "I can't believe what had happened today. We let a random pony come in here and accidentally had him take on a mission. I know he did a fantastic job, but still, the higher-ups aren't going to be pleased with me," Louis said. "I'm sure everything will be ok. The fact that he completed the mission will be more than enough to keep the higher-ups off your back for a while." As they both laughed, Louis said, "Agent 47...what did you do with the memory modifier pen?" Agent 47 simply replied, "When I took Flareon back to Marvelous Antiques above, I think I may have left it on the counter." It was at moment Louis and Agent 47 realized their blunder. Back at Apple Acres, Flareon and Twilight had both finished a kiss. Twilight then said, "I wonder what this button on the side of this pen does?" When she pressed the button down, a bright red light flashed from the pen. You know what they say, an elephant never forgets, unless someone uses a high-tech memory modifier pen to erase its' memory.
