Tuesday 9:03am; Palace of Friendship:

Twilight was walking in circles as always when she was in one of her crisis. Why? Why does things had to be this difficult? Why Rarity? She was so innocent, so nice; such a great pony, and now she was in the middle of a struggle between the Secret Service and one of the most dangerous organizations so far. Anyway Spike did his best to calm her down:

“Twi, breath please” he said calmly. “Remember she’s with Blue Blood. And remember what you and Shining always say, that you would trust your lives to him”

Twilight nodded, she knew Spike was right but still she was worried for her friend.

“I know but why it had to be Rarity? Applejack or Rainbow Dash are stronger, they could deal with all this better than her”

“Let’s thank Celestia it wasn’t Fluttershy at least” said Spike. “Rarity can handle a little more than her, and she always surprised us with her ability to deal with difficult situations. Remember when she was kidnaped by the Diamond Dogs? Besides she’s not alone. With your brain and Blue’s ability she’ll be safe”

“You think so?” Asked Twilight.

“I’m sure” said the little dragon opening the door to Rarity and Blue Blood.

The most secret agent of Celestia’s most secret service made a small nod to greet Spike while Twilight practically jumped to give Rarity a big hug of relief.

“Twilight… you’re chocking me” mumbled the white unicorn a little uncomfortable.

Twilight released her but she was still very worried.

“I’m so sorry Rarity, I just couldn’t sleep until I make sure you were alright. Since Princess Celestia informed me of what happened I’ve been working in something for your defense”

Spike approached with the finest makeup set anypony could buy.

“It looks like makeup, you can use it as makeup but it is a high-level spy arsenal” explained the dragon. “Be careful Rarity, we don’t want you to hurt yourself”

“Thank you Spikey-wikey” said Rarity. “But… are you a part of this too?”

Spike nodded.

“As a dragon I have messenger breath, that the Secret Service use as a tactical advantage. I pretend to be Twilight’s number one assistant, but in fact I’m an expert in communications keeping the Secret Service in touch all the time”

Twilight hugged the dragon.

“He’s our youngest agent. The friendship reports were his idea; doing so nopony find suspicious me writing letters to Princess Celestia all the time. You see, I use to hide instructions or status reports to the Princess inside the friendship letters, is kind of fun to encode messages”

Spike returned the hug thankfully and began to explain to Rarity:

“First the brushes, see the brand label?” Asked the dragon showing the instrument to Rarity, who nodded. “Well, in fact it’s a device that haves the same effect that Blue Blood’s comb: it activates a shield-spell level 10; effective enough to protect you from any kind of magical and physical attacks except for alicorns. How many, it depends of the attack strength but still enough to help you to survive.

Then he showed the eyelash curler.

“This one is the most important and dangerous: it shots a small amount nerve-gas powerful enough to knock a pony of the size of Bulk Biceps for example”

Rarity nodded gulping, this seemed more dangerous that she thought.
Then Spike showed her the eye-masks.

“Okay, those are really interesting: the blue ones have an especial spell to sharpen your eyesight to unmeasurable levels. The green ones also give you X-ray vision but is still on experimental phase, you can’t see through walls more than two seconds”

Rarity nodded again while Spike finally took the sample of perfume.

“This one is the most important: is the transmitter; whenever you need you can communicate with any of us. Take care Rarity, the Secret Service is no game”

Rarity didn’t know what to say; but Twilight was already thinking in a plan:

“First things first: I’ve mobilized all units in Ponyville to watch for our friends in case this organization try to use them to get to us…”

…and she yawned and fell asleep, she couldn’t take more; so Spike too k her in his arms and dragged her to her bedroom.

“I guess she had a long night. Anyway, please practice with that things in one of the empty rooms. In the meantime I’ll go read comics or something”

Said that, Blue Blood made a gently gesture to Rarity to follow him, the whole thing was really weird, nopony was who they supposed to be. What now?
Anyway, she followed Blue Blood to train; the fastest this nightmare ends, better.

Wednesday 4:55 am; Ponyville Outskirts

Rainbow Dash was more excited than ever before, while reading the letter over and over. It was a Blue letter with the official seal of the Wonderbolts, signed by Spit Fire herself:

Dear Rainbow Dash, how you’re doing, recruit?

I’ve wrote you because on next show we’ll need your help. This show in particular is very important and we must close it greatly; so I was thinking in your Sonic Rainboom. I hope you can help us, and prepare: this will open you the doors to officially join us permanently.

If you’re interested come to see me at Ponyville’s outskirts at 5:00 am. Sincerely yours,

Spit Fire.

Rainbow couldn’t believe her luck, was this for real?
She even woke up at 3:00 am only to be there an hour and a half before Spit Fire arrived. Finally Spit Fire landed before her, waring the military uniform she wore at the Wonderbolt Academy, her sunglasses and a little backpack.

“Oh hello there Rainbow Dash” greeted Spit Fire. “Giving your reputation I’m actually surprised to see you this early”

“Ey, if the Wonderbolts call you better hurry, besides I haven’t slept the whole night!”

Spit Fire nodded.

“Now let’s talk about serious business” said the mare. “Shall we walk?”

Rainbow would preferred to fly but still she nodded.
Spit Fire began to explain:

“So as you already know we have a very hard selection process; and with a show in just two weeks and Fleet Floot incapacitated because of an accident we need somepony to cover her; and since you’re the first on our list…”

Rainbow was about to faint of excitement, was this true?
Of course it wasn’t but as soon as Salvation accomplished their goal Spit Fire was going to give Rainbow a permanent position in the Wonderbolts as a compensation for what she was about to do. Spit Fire felt a little bad about this, she liked Rainbow Dash but they needed to stop the Secret Service if they wanted to defeat the alicorns.

“Now the true reason I called you…” the Wonderbolt captain said taking a large needle from her backpack once they were far enough from Ponyville. “… sorry for lying to you Rainbow Dash, you’ll join us, I promise, but first I need you to be my hostage to stop your friend from fighting us”

Rainbow froze in shock but then she began to laugh happily:

“AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one Spit Fire, for a second I thought you were truly going to hurt me… is this a prank for newbies or something?”

Spit Fire attacked and Rainbow barely dodged her; however the yellow Pegasus was an experienced soldier and it was about time for her to drug Rainbow. Still Rainbow was the fastest, but Spit Fire prevented this and before she could react she immobilized Rainbow with an expert hold.

“Sorry Rainbow, but this is something I have to do; as long as the Secret Service exists we cannot win”

The yellow Pegasus prepared the needle.

“Don’t worry, this won’t hurt”

Rainbow was frozen, what to do? What to do? Spit Fire was about to inject Rainbow with her drug… when a gray blur tackled her out of nowhere. The three ponies rolled all over the ground while Rainbow recovered from what just happened.

Ponyville’s mailmare, Derpy, giggled stupidly.

“Ups! I don’t know what went wrong, Derp!”

Then she turned to Rainbow.

“Uh, sorry Rainbow, did I interrupted something? Anyway, I have this letter for you”

Rainbow gulped.

“Derpy you just saved my life”

The happy mailmare giggled.

“Oh, was this letter so important? I’m happy to serve you!”

Rainbow Dash hugged her happily.

“Derpy, my friend Derpy I swear that if somepony dares to mock you about your clumsiness I’ll beat the shit out of them!”

Spit Fire recovered and glared at Derpy.

“You clumsy? Don’t make me laugh Derpy, back to the Flight Academy nopony, not even I, were capable to reach your level. Your grace, your expertise… I know no one who is remotely close to your skills, Derpy Hooves”

Derpy sighed and faced the Wonderbolt captain.

“I knew I won’t fool you Spit Fire. Anyway, in the name of the Secret Service you are under arrest for the charges of high betrayal, attempt to foalnap and conspiracy. You have the right to remain silent”

“Fuck you!” Said Spit Fire flying away.

Derpy grinded her teeth.

“Rainbow, I need your help! Come on, right behind me!!”

Said that, Derpy blasted off at great speed… making Rainbow’s jaw drop: she was even faster than Spit Fire. What just happened? Still she needed answers so she flew right behind Derpy.

“DERPY! SINCE WHEN YOU CAN FLY LIKE THAT?”

“SINCE ALWAYS! DASH, I’M GOING TO KNOCK HER DOWN AND YOU BETTER CATCH HER, WE NEED SPIT FIRE ALIVE!!”

Rainbow gulped while Derpy took some kind of strange hoofcuffs and threw them to Spit Fire. The ‘wingcuffs’ (designed by Twilight) immobilized her wings making her fall. Rainbow accelerated and caught Spit Fire.
Then Derpy took a muffin also from her mailbag and bitted it right after dropping it over Spit Fire. To the pegasus’ horror the muffin began to grow in size, bigger and bigger… to then smash her against the ground.

“What was that?!” Asked Rainbow.

“Bread-grenades” explained Spit Fire. “An especial recipe from our leader”

“Great” mumbled Rainbow not-knowing what to think about all this.

Derpy shrugged and rolled the giant muffin to Twilight’s Castle. This was going to be a long morning.
From inside the muffin Spit Fire activated the device inside her teeth, this was not the end.

Wednesday 5:23am; location unknown:

Spit Fire’s emergency signal activated, alerting the terrorists. Maud, petting her loyal Boulder, shook her head in disappointment.

“The Bird-brains and Hornys are too stupid” she said dryly.

Fleur de Liz and Fancy Pants better kept quiet, they knew Maud was pretty scary when she was angry. The problem was that she was to stoic that nopony knew she was pissed until she detonated a high-power explosive somewhere.

“And what are you planning to do?” Finally asked Fancy Pants. “Do you have a plan to neutralize Agent Belle?”

Maud shrugged.

“I won’t. You two idiots wasted valuable time and resources targeting only one pony, no, I’ll concentrate in our true goal. You endangered us too much already”

“So you’re going with the original plan” mumbled Fleur.

Maud nodded.

“Yes, so?”
