private The Equestrian Secret Pony Agency: Case of the Stolen Crystal Heart (FULL)

[GaleFenrir 281]

"Sherclop, Sherclop Pones," Curious corrected before he could realize he was doing so, "and he doesn't really ever say 'elementary, my dear Trotson'. He perhaps said it, like once, I don't even know how it became such a well known phrase."

 

Curious smiled sheepishly upon realizing that this wasn't really the time or situation to show off what a big egg head he was.

 

He cleared his throat, and tugged at his scarf, "Wow, that is impressive, Agent Moon. I mean, you went from a 2 dimensional photo into something 3 dimensional. Hey, and now Agent Echo can know what he looks like as well!" Curious was really hoping the flattery would excuse his faux pas.

Agent Midnight stopped walking back and forth and looked at Agent Moon. "Wow! You look exactly like the guy! So, you will be able to blend in with the rest of those ponies, if there are any?" She asked him. We would probably have to find the guy first before we even try to go in

He looked at Curious oddly. "What? I cannot be satirical? Harrumph. Fine." He shook his head before looking at himself. "Hmm... It seems legit. A body built for strength more than agility and speed... I wonder if he was working with a partner or two?" He shrugged. "Welp, here it is, I guess. And, due to the blurring, this isn't exactly the most detailed disguise." He worked his jaw around for a bit. "This mouth feels... wrong. I guess he had some dental work done, which I can't copy. And I can see why he busted the money to do it."

And then he turned to Midnight. "Well, I could, but I don't think I could stand being in this form for too long, though." He took out his knife and spun it around his hoof. "But it would be perfect to just get a few guys a knife in the back or two. Hopefully. Although I may be able to copy the body, I won't be able to copy the minds. So if there's any password or anything, I'll need to learn that information myself."

"You could leave that to Agent Echo, besides, he's the one who has the superior hearing." Agent Thunder suddenly said putting away his communicator after checking the time. "I think our best shot now is to start the long journey to Saddle Arabia. We should be able to get some good evidence there." Agent Thunder added. 

[Ampharos 1,009]

Agent Echo twitched his ears. "Hmmm, that's an interesting disguise. I feel like I recognize it. I can't see two-dimensional things, because that's just how echolocation works, but if you describe the symbol to me, I might be able to confirm where this crime organization is stationed." He had been on a couple high-end missions before this, and having "seen" a three dimensional form of the symbol, if it was the correct symbol, he would be able to make his first major contribution to the team. "And that's probably a good idea Agent Thunder. Unfortunately, if there is to much noise, it will interfere with my hearing. Hopefully this is the symbol I recognize, because that place is pretty quiet."

[That One Techpriest You Used To Know 2,286]

Moon Crypt thought about it for a while, before noticing something on his body that he had copied from the picture. "Here. A necklace with the symbol on it." He took it off and showed him, although keeping his hoof on the 'cord'. "Can you 'see' this?"

 

((Last post for a week: I feel bad. Bye, guys!))

[Ampharos 1,009]

Echo twitched his ears again. "Yes! The symbol pops out of the base, and this confirms my suspicions," He turned to the rest of group. "I was on a mission against this organization some time ago, but it was nothing serious. Just some minor stealing like from jewelry shops and the like. This is a much higher scale than what I would of imagined." The unicorn thought for a moment. "Let's see. They do have a base in Saddle Arabia, but they're main base is in Trottingham. Do you want to scope out Saddle Arabia first? I can cast a group teleportation spell, and I know where the base is so I can go to the exact location." Then he frowned with realization. "But, it will severely wear me out." He waited for someone to respond.

 

(ooc: I changed Echo's appearance a bit, link in my sig)

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"That would be best. Because from this, I've got a feeling that they're using the Crystal Heart for something major..." Agent Thunder thought. He then used his communicator to pull up a map. He then looked at the map and noticed that Trottingham was farther away than Saddle Arabia. 

[Ampharos 1,009]

Agent Echo "looked" at the map as well. He could see because it was a hologram. "This is perfect. I'll teleport us to the base in Saddle Arabia, we can scope it out, and then travel to Trottingham." Echo smiled and then frowned. "Um, we haven't exactly thought of a plan, have we?"

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Well, our changeling friend here could disguise himself as one of them and get us in. Remember, for those of us who aren't changelings, we have a gaget that can disguise us. So, Agent Moon, you must first turn into the mysterious culprit. Then, each of us will scan you, save the image as a disguise and then we'll be all set." Agent Thunder explained. 

[GaleFenrir 281]

"But wouldn't it be just a bit of a tip off if we were all using the same disguise? Granted, the uniform itself will help us get through, but if anypony bothers to look at our faces being identical they would probably suspect."

 

Curious tapped his hoof against his chin. "Perhaps if there was a back entrance to the base we could find, a few of us would be able sneak in through there while the rest gain entrance through the front."

[Ampharos 1,009]

"That works, but remember that I could use my superior hearing as well. Maybe I could hide and listen for some helpful info?" Echo felt a little like he would get in the way. "I think I would just give us away if I went with you guys."

 

(Ooc: since moon crypt said he wasn't going to post all week, maybe we can say he had to go back to the agency on urgent business?)

(OOC: I guess that will do. I'll send him a PM about what to do when he returns.)

 

"You've got a point. Especially, me being the tallest of the group, they'll definitely suspect something is not right. Tell ya what, let's have Agent Echo be the one with the disguise. He'll go in and make sure everything is clear. We have our invisible clips in case something goes wrong, for security could be and will be pretty tight there." Agent Thunder explained. 

[Ampharos 1,009]

Agent Echo wasn't to keen on the idea. But it would have to do. "I guess I could. The guards might ask about why my ears twitch so much. I guess I can make some excuse if asked, and I don't stand out too much, aside from my eyes. Do you want to go now? I'm storing up power as we speak."

[Applejack25 38]

Agent Midnight listened as the two were talking about going in. "Also, if you want me to scan rooms, I have x-ray vision glasses to see through walls to see enemies. It's a gadget so with the press of a button behind my ear, it will pop out". She said as Agent Echo was getting ready to investigate.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Well...Agent Moon will have to catch up then." Agent Thunder said spreading his wings. "It's best not to do a direct teleportation, for the culprits know when teleportation happens near them, they know sompony's trying to stop them." Agent Thunder said. "So we'll have to fly." Agent Thunder added as he was just about the spring in to the air, but he forgot that Agent Echo couldn't fly. "Well, I guess we'll have to walk but...hmmm...why do I always keep forgetting about this spell?" He asked himself gathering energy. "Hold still Agent Echo." Thunder Dash said. He then fired an electric beam at Agent Echo. Suddenly, true pegasus wings appeared on his back. "Well, I guess I didn't forget it after all...by the way, those wings last until this mission's over. Once the mission is over, they'll disappear. Agent Thunder explained;.  

[Ampharos 1,009]

"Awww man I thought I got promoted to alicorn status," he said with a grin. Echo also knew that spell, but he was fine with Agent Thunder doing it. "Hmmm, this is definitely something I'll have to get used to, but I'll learn." He smiled at the thought of having wings.

"Could you do that for Agent Midnight as well? She can't innately fly either." Curious pointed out.

 

"I do wonder how these unicorns are going to adjust to suddenly having flight capabilities. I mean, pegasi have to spend so much time of their formative years practicing. And unicorns aren't exactly known for their stamina, no offense. It's a long flight there, perhaps we should teleport about half way and fly the rest."

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Okay. Here goes." Agent Thunder said aiming at Agent Midnight. He gathered some more electricity and fired it at her. True pegasus wings sprouted from her back as well. "Hmm, that may work. I could do a mass teleportation when everypony's ready to go." Agent Thunder said.  

[GaleFenrir 281]

"Wow, how deep are your magical reserves, sir? Do you ever need to charge your batteries, so to speak?" Curious mused aloud.

 

He had to suppress a chuckle at the, probably entirely unlikely, thought of Agent Thunder hooking himself up to a generator. "Nah, he'd probably just dive into some clouds. That or rub his hooves against a carpet."

[Ampharos 1,009]

Echo flapped his own wings and did a couple of small circles before losing control and falling. "Well buck. I don't think I can do it." He had an ashamed look on his face. "I... I can't use my echolocation and fly at the same time. It's too confusing." For the first time in a several years, he was actually angry at his blindness. "I'll just... I'll do the mass teleportation spell. I don't want you to wear yourself out Agent Thunder. When we get there, I'll teleport myself about a mile from the base in Saddle Arabia and walk the rest of the way." He had a look on his face like he was still angry at himself.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

"Well, if I overdo it I become weak and will need a quickshot from a cloud. A quickshot is a jolt of lightning." Agent Thunder explained. 

 

He then turned to Agent Echo. "It's okay, you can ride on my back and use your echo abilities. To decrese the weight on me, you can flap your wings." Agent Thunder explained. ""Now, the foes won't be able to sense unicorn power from the halfway mark. This is the farthest distance we can teleport to stay safe. So..." Agent Thunder said gathering energy for a mass teleportation. "Everypony ready?" He asked continuing to gather power. 

[Applejack25 38]

Agent Midnight looked at her back. She felt really funny and strange. I'm an alicorn!.... Wait[\i] "I'm ready! Will I be an alicorn forever or is this is just temporary?" She asked the others while practicing to flap her wings. "This is so uncomfortable it's not even funny" she said to the others.

[GaleFenrir 281]

Curious gave a small tug at his scarf to brace himself. He had teleported before, that is how he got into the Crystal Empire, after all. But he did fear the the electrical attribute of Agent Thunder's magic.

 

"Well, I can't say I'll be any more ready later. Go ahead and work your magic whenever."

[Ampharos 1,009]

"Yea..." Echo didn't feel comfortable with riding on Agent Thunder after all the energy he had already used. "Really Agent Thunder, I would feel a lot more comfortable riding on your back if you at least let me cast the mass teleportation spell." He knew he hadn't contributed enough and felt his esteem slowly lowering. "Please, it's the least I can do."

 

(ooc: After this RP eventually ends, are you gonna make a mission 002? Just curious, cuz I was thinking of using a different OC if that happens.)
