Wednesday 5:54am; Palace of Friendship:

“Especial delivery for Princess Twilight!” Called Derpy happily rolling a giant muffin to through the main door. “A giant muffin directly from Sugar Cube Corner!”

Spike and Twilight gulped when they saw the enormous pastry coming in along with a very agitated Rainbow Dash. And of course they knew what it was; it was also the first time they saw one of the famous bread-grenades in action.
From the second floor, Rarity and Blue Blood also saw the curious situation and raised an eyebrow. However for Rainbow’s sake, Twilight had to pretend this whole thing was completely normal until she left her home.

“Oh Derpy, what a nice surprise! Who could send me something like this?”

Derpy shook her head.

“Rainbow knows I’m a secret agent Princess. I had to save her from somepony very dangerous (the one inside the muffin) and explain the whole situation. Sorry but it was that or endanger her life unnecessarily”

“WHAT?!” Shouted Twilight. “How could this happen? Why did the enemy started targeting our friends?”

“Considering the situation I’m not surprised” said Blue Blood joining to the conversation and activating his bowtie-transmitter. “Calling all units in Ponyville, report immediately to the Palace of Friendship. This is a red-code-situation, I repeat, a red-code situation”

Twilight sighed and the group moved to the living room while they waited.
The agents began to show up one by one; but they didn’t used the main door, to avoid suspicion for Twilight getting so may unusual guests, they had built several tunnels from the agents’ homes to the Palace in case of emergency.
Rainbow couldn’t believe her eyes, first Derpy and now them:
First of all, the human-obsessed mare Lyra Heartstrings; expert in communications.
The new resident of Ponyville, the donkey Cranky Doodle; undercover courier.
Rusty, the obnoxious blacksmith of the town and along with Twilight, equipment developer.
And finally her, the absolute leader of the Secret Service… the brains of the entire operation.

“WHAT? YOU TOO?!” Shouted Rarity and Rainbow Dash at the same time.

The leader of all the spies cried happily and hugged her friends with the giant smile that characterized her.

“Oh girls, you’re safe! It’s so good to see you. I thought I was going to lose you but then, oh Derpy thank you for saving Dashie! Blue, I know no better pony to take care of my beloved friend Rarity!”

They both smiled to their leader.

“I was only accomplishing with my duty” said Derpy.

“It’s my pleasure to serve Equestria my captain, but right now I think we have a suspect to interrogate” said Blue Blood with seriousness.

Derpy removed part of the bread revealing the head of Spit Fire.
They all gasped, the Wonderbolt leader?
But recovering from the first impression, Twilight extended her hoof to Spike who gave her a green potion that seemed suspicious. Spit Fire looked at them defiantly but the alicorn used her magic to force the liquid in her mouth and Derpy forced her to swallow by obstructing her nose.
Finally Twilight looked at her sternly.

“Now, can you tell me what’s going on, Spit Fire? What’s the meaning of all this?”

Spit Fire didn’t bothered to lie, after all she knew all too well that they just gave her a truth-serum from Zebrica.

“Are you stupid, Horny? We look for blood purity, return to the glorious days where the races won’t have to make contact to each other ever again. Soon enough the people will demand to the alicorns to disappear to allow us to go back to the simpler ways”

Twilight’s eye twitched in irritation.

“Who are you working for?”

“I work for no pony, I’m one of the leaders”

“What about Fancy Pants?” Questioned Blue Blood.

“He’s other of the leaders, he founds the operation by divert money from several of his business”

But then Spit Fire grinned evilly.

“What’s so funny?” Asked the leader of the Secret Service.

“Well, the idiot of Fancy Pants and I concentrated in get rid of the agent of the Secret Service that Fancy Pants himself guided to the core of our organization, but the third leader preferred to stick to the original plan and now with Fancy Pants unable to act from his current position and with me captured, the fun is about to start. Fancy Pants and I are very dangerous but the Earth-Worm… she is a true sociopath. The true brain behind the operation and the deadliest of the three of us”

“And what’s the name of that pony?” Asked the leader of the Secret Service.

Spit Fire grinned evilly, not bothering in trying to repress the answer, enjoying in anticipation the pain she was about to cause.

“Maud, Maud Pie”

The leader paled while she trembled entirely. No! It had to be a bad joke; Spit Fire was lying, she had to. But she was telling the true, Twilight’s truth serum last at least five hours.

“No!” She mumbled. “YOU MUST BE WRONG!”

“Oh, did I touched a nerve? The truth hurts idiot, but that’s the world we’re living”

The leader of the Secret Service trembled and looked like she was about to faint.

“Pinkie” mumbled Twilight offering a chair to her friend.

But it was useless, Pinkie Pie, supreme leader of the Secret Service finally fainted because of impression.
And then a massive tremor all over Equestria called everypony’s attention.

“It is time!” Grinned Spit Fire. “The psycho did it”

Location unknown; Wednesday 6:00am:

“I did it” said Maud. “Send the message Fancy Pants”

The businesspony nodded a pressed a button activating the artifacts placed all over the Kingdom ready to broadcast their message of salvation for the ponykind.

Wednesday 6:00 am; all over Equestria:

What looked like a completely normal day turned into something else when several statues representing the four Equestrian Princesses blew up in a thousand pieces at the same time making all the ponies go outside their homes to see what was going on.
And then, from the wreckages a colorful fog began to form three pony-shapes: a Pegasus, a unicorn and an earth pony; the three of them covered in long black tunics that covered their faces but show their racial features to show everypony how a proud pure-blooded pony should look like.

The Pegasus-shape began:

“Greetings, proud ponies of all races; let me introduce us: we are the salvation of our kind. We are Salvation”

“Salvation from what, you’re certainly asking” added the unicorn. “Well, salvation from this foolishness of the Kingdom of Equestria. Until the four alicorns came to ruin our lives and the natural balance between the three races, we all lived in a perfect world where unicorns only mated with other unicorns; pegasi with pegasi and earth ponies with earth ponies. What happened to us? What made us forget the perfection of our world making us mate to each other? They happened! THE ALICORNS!”

The Pegasus shape continued:

“Some of you have the blood so contaminated that we see cases where two pegasi have an earth pony or a unicorn; why is this? because of the alicorns, they forced us to forget what nature expects from us. We do not belong together, we were meant to be separated forever and ever!”

Then the earth-pony shape finally spoke, sounding creepily dry and emotionless:

“That’s why Salvation demand two things: the separation of the Kingdom of Equestria in our three original pony nations Unicorna, Peasopolis and Earth; and the banishment of the four alicorns from our world”

All the ponies who witnessed the message began to mumble scared, what was going on? Who were this ponies?

The Pegasus shape spoke again:

“This is just a message prepared especially for this occasion, but what you’re about to see is happening live and directly. We live in fear my fellow ponies; fear that without the alicorns we won’t be able to survive in this hostile world. Well, you’re wrong, that’s what the alicorns want you to think, they keep us ignorant only to maintain their power. But interestingly enough, you are afraid but not from them; but the dangers we would face if they leave us”

“We’re about to prove you that the ponykind is perfectly capable of survive without them” intervened again the unicorn shape. “Even if they go, ponies will prevail… in separated nations as it should be”

The earth-pony nodded and cracked her neck calmly and slowly.

“That’s why we’re going to destroy the enemies they made us so afraid of. We’ve been preparing this moment for months placing enough explosives in the magical prison known as Tartarus to destroy it with every single prisoner inside it. The alicorns made us afraid of this creatures but refuse to terminate them for good since they’re the base of their rule; well, that’s about to change. In a minute… they’ll be nothing but a mess that would need to be cleaned”

Everypony watching the message shivered at the earth-pony’s tone, she sounded so calm, so dry… like she didn’t really care about what she was saying.

The colored fog changed to show everypony a giant cave in the middle of a mountain in the middle of nowhere; covered with a giant iron-gate and guarded by an enormous dog with three heads who was scratching behind his ears like a normal dog. It was for real? The three shapes were serious about this?

In Canterlot both Luna and Celestia shivered when they saw it, no, it couldn’t be.

But it was, soon enough a powerful explosion inside the horrible place shook the giant mountain followed by other non-less violent explosions all over the place reducing it to nothing. Cerberus was barking in fear, running in circles unsure what to do now… until a final much bigger explosion right under him blew him away.

Everypony gasped in fear. What just happened?

At the end the magic fog vanished but the message was clear.

Wednesday 6:11am; Palace of Friendship:

None of the members of the Secret Service could say anything about what happened. Only Blue Blood was discussing furiously with his aunt at the communication device inside his flower but then nothing else. When he finished all the spies were in a dead silence unsure what to do now.

A dead silence that Spit Fire broke with a cruel chuckle.

“Impressive, I must compliment Maud Pie for that excellent for placing the explosives so brilliantly. Poor little doggie, was it too much for him? And what do you think about my performance? I’m more like an acrobat but damn my speeches are also good”

In the meantime Rainbow and Rarity were busy trying to awoke poor Pinkie Pie.

“Maud, I don’t get it, I just don’t get it” mumbled the cyan mare. “I always thought she was odd… but this? “What happened to her?

“I don’t understand neither” said sadly Rarity still trembling because of her nerves. “First Fancy Pants is evil, then Blue Blood is a true gentlecolt and now one of my best friend’s sister is also evil”

Then Rarity noticed Blue Blood who was drinking silently and gave her a sad smile.

“I told you, remember Miss Belle? A good spy knows that whoever you suspect the less is the one you should be careful. Besides we’ve confirmed Fancy’s participation; during the last years he has been financing a supposed beneficence but when we checked, it didn’t exist. At first the IRS thought it was to avoid taxes but it was much more”

“Maud’s participation is also confirmed” said Pinkie Pie awaking. “For generations Pie family have provided the strongest rocks and a especial cement developed by great-granny to reinforce the Tartarus. She had to mix the explosive mix with it”

“How often you deliver those shipments?” Asked Rarity.

“Giving Celestia’s paranoia, every month” mumbled Pinkie.

Spit Fire laughed loudly.

“Ow, you poor little thing. Did your sister just broke the confidence placed in you family? Ha-Ha”

Pinkie Pie shrieked in rage and punched her at the jaw making Spit Fire unconscious. Once Pinkie calmed, turned to the agents.

“I know is against the rules to intervene when family is involved but I’m the only one who can make Maud lower her guard so there’s no choice. Once I reveal their hideout it’ll be on your hooves, understood?”

The agents nodded and prepared themselves for the battle, especially Blue Blood.
But then Pinkie placed a hoof on his shoulder.

“Blue, you’re the one who have worked the most in this case, so why don’t you take a rest at least while I go talk to my sister? As far as I know you haven’t sleep properly because of all this so go on”

Blue Blood thanked her with a smile.

“I guess you’re right boss, okay”

Pinkie smiled to him sadly and ran to the train station. She had to locate Maud no matter what and the first step was to go to her parents’ house for some answers. The other agents left behind her waiting for her call… leaving Twilight alone with her friends and Blue Blood.

“Okay, I’ll go rest but first I need a drink, do you mind if I open your scotch Twi?” Asked the white unicorn.

“Go on” smiled Twilight.

Rarity looked Blue Blood leaving and turned to Twilight.

“So Twilight, may I ask you something?”

“Sure Rarity, what’s wrong?”

“Why somepony like him haves to pretend to be a jerk? His true self is very kind and likable… so why in all fake personalities he had to choose that one?

Twilight sighed.

“Is a long story Rarity, but let’s say in all his life Blue Blood’s greatest love was theater. His childhood dream was to become a famous actor; and because following his ambitions he ended up like this”
