STH x MLP New Frontier: Tangle and Whisper
Chapter 4: Part 4
Previous ChapterAt the former Diamond Cutters base on the Clove Sea.
"Holy moly, I think you really ticked off all three of them!" Tangle exclaimed
"Defined him. Embarrassed him. So, yep,' Whisper agreed.
"Still all this fuss, with just the four of us?" Bon-Bon asked.
"Hardly seems fair. for them," Lyra joked.
"Seriously, though just one of those things nearly wrecked my hometown. How are we supposed to deal with two?" Tangle asked.
"Like this." Whisper uses her Variable Wispon to shoot at one of the Buzz Bomber's torso, which damages it enough to end its flight. The Buzz Bomber crashes into another Buzz Bomber and takes it down with it.
"What a shot!"
"What are the odds both Mimic and Venjix were on one of those?"
"None. They were decoys. They'll be entering by the base now."
"That's me and Bon-Bon's cue...unless you and Lyra want to switch."
"It's fine."
As Tangle and Bon-Bon headed toward the interior of the base, Lyra and Whisper continued to battle the Badinks.
Inside the base, Tangle waits by the side of a door. As a shadow approaches, she extends her tail to trip up the person entering. The person is revealed to apparently be Sonic.
"What are you doing?" Bon-Bon asked.
"I heard someone was impersonating me and I decided to get to bottom of it," Sonic replied.
Tangle and Bon-Bon felt skeptical of what he said.
"Ok, follow us we set a trap for him."
"By all means show me."
They led him into the rec room allowing Sonic to only find the three masks that belonged to the other deceased members of the Diamond Cutters hanging on the walls.
"Is this a trap?" Sonic asked.
"Yep," Tangle confirms that this was indeed a trap and presses a button that activates the masks. The masks act as projectors for past video footage of Claire, Smithy and Slinger respectively praising Mimic for his work. Whisper is also shown off, who had stated that she felt so much better when he was down there watching their backs.
As Mimic changes back into himself, Venijx arrived armed with his gun.
"Was really worth betraying your friends just to save your skin?" Tangle asked him.
"And why would align yourself with Eggman?" Bon-Bon asked the bounty hunter.
"Simple my little pony, I would never be a part of his grand scheme, unless for a sizable fee."
"They were a means to an end."
"You two are the worst!"
"And your deluded, friendship is for fools!" Venjix declared as knocked both of them to the floor. "Sadly this game has come to an end!"
As Venjix prepares to deliver the final blow, Tangle sneakily manages to punch him into Mimic with her tail then she and Bon-Bon engaged the shapeshifter in close combat. Due to Mimic's advanced training, he overpowers Tangle by hitting her with her own tail and forcing her backward and she falls on top of Bon-Bon.
"You both not bad, which some proper training you'd be formidable."
Before Mimic and Venjix did anything, Whisper enters and hits away from his dagger with the Variable Wispon in its Cube Mode and Lyra did a magic blast to Venjix sending him crashing into a wall and knocking him out.
"Blue!" He called his former partner. "You hated violence! Are you going to let her use you on me?!"
After a short pause, Whisper swings at Mimic, only for the Blue Wisp to swiftly exit the Wispon and turn away in shame.
"Aw, blue."
With the Variable Wispon still in its default mode, Whisper hits Mimic with it and begin to struggle with him. Mimic manages to push Whisper back and turns the Variable Wispon towards her, only to be grabbed and slammed downwards by Lyra's magic. Not giving up, Mimic struggles within Lyra's grasp and attempts shapeshifting into Smithy, then Eggman, and finally Vector. Lyra warns Mimic to stay down. Whisper then points her Variable Wispon at Mimic's head, with the Blue Wisp looking on in disappointment at his former partner.
"Whisper? Listen to me okay, Badnik is one thing but this is different. I know what he did to you, it's unforgivable. but do this, you'll live with for the rest of your life. Wouldn't be worse for him to be locked up knowing he had to wake up every that he lost to you?"
Whisper gently turns to the wall where the other Diamond Cutters' masks were and look at them with sadness.
"You're right, It's over. The Diamond Cutters are done," Whisper exclaimed as the Blue Wisp came to her side. "Hush. I don't blame you."
"So what will do with them?"
"I have an idea who can handle them!" Bon-Bon exclaimed.
Later at the Castle of Friendship...
"I'd rather you had pulled the trigger," Mimic said as he sat in a specialized designed cell and the same thing for Venjix.
"I'll bet! I built this test chamber to run models off all sorts of artificial climate and atmospheric conditions. No way that either of them can get out," Tails exclaimed.
"See, what did you tell, the kid has an answer for everything!" Tangle nudged Whisper's shoulder.
"You really think this cage can hold me!" Venjix slammed the cage. "I've escaped from cages, cells, and prisons, and I can escape from this, too!"
"You can try but you will fail, only the next time, we make sure you never have a to escape to harm anyone," Twilight boldly said.
"Bold, aren't we Sparkle."
"Y'know, if you get- and that's big if, I wouldn't try it, Eggman doesn't know that either of you is here," Applejack said.
"And if you did, Bon-Bon told us that Eggman can track you and your octo-buddy, he once he spots you, he will be pretty mad that you wasted all of his Badnik resources, and finds you fail," Rainbow finishes the farm pony theory.
"I hate you, so much," Venjix glared at them.
"Take one to know one," Pinkie smiles at him.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure that two get transported to the near cell," Twilight told Whisper.
"Thank you. Do not open it."
"No matter who's inside. Thanks for the help!"
"It's our pleasure!" Rarity said.
"Thanks for stopping by," Fluttershy said.
Outside, Tangle asks what others was going to do now. Whisper states that as Eggman was still out there, she would keep fighting until he was gone and as for the mares were going to settle down in Ponyville. As the wolf tears up, she asks if Tangle wants to come along with her. Tangle accepts the offer but says that she wishes to take some time off back at home as she is homesick and is not wishing to worry Jewel too much. The girls thus share a friendly fist bump and set off in their different directions.
