Enemy Mine
Yes, I know the title was directly swiped from TV Tropes. I would've used 'Enemy of My Enemy' but there's already a mission with that title, so... yeah. Anyway, it took me three drafts and a lot of revising to get this one ready to roll. Enjoy~!
I've already picked out the fics for my next two missions, but hopefully I should be able to start taking badfic requests after they're done!
And based on doctorlit's response, I've edited Not!Sombra's death as well - it's a lot quicker now, and less sadistic. Given E.V.L.'s emphasis on efficiency, it seems only fair.
The title dropped is the badfic’s title “Let Rise a New Alicorn“ in the fourth to last line of the prophesy.
(Do you say "fourth to last" in English? I've only ever seen "second to last". Should I have said "tenth line"?)
HG
Anything beyond "second-to-last" is rarely heard, but "fourth-to-last" is nonetheless proper English.
Though I really have to question if 'recruit' is the proper word to describe E.V.L. :P
Anyway, excellent first (DMS) mission, and I can't wait to get started on our collab!

Good work! As someone who is still very new to the series (I've only seen a few episodes of Season 1), this was very enjoyable and a fantastic mission to read. However, the text seemed very clustered together - I read most missions on my iPad, and my brain started confusing which line I was on after a while due to the spacing. Some more space between each different lines of dialogue would be great.
Overall, though - I loved the mission!
Your agents were very interesting and with great interaction. You really get a feel for each of them. And I like that there's still plenty of animosity and room for development in future missions.
And a nitpick, "falling right after the Sue melted through the strange mirror."
(There's nothing wrong with a trope title.) Rayner's mean-spiritedness still comes across as weird to me. I know he's not supposed to be all rainbows and flowers, but... Is he going to mellow out at all in the forseeable future? (Also, remember to make Wiki profiles for him and E.V.L.)
I particularly liked the part where E.V.L. charged fake!Sombra and tried to fight him off. It really captured her overconfidence and relative inexperience with this whole PPC thing. (Also, what is the deal with her head? I thought it got reattached, why does she occasionally play with it? That's creepy even by her standards.)
Also, "Mankey wrench"? I see what you did there, and I approve of that pun XD
Come on guys, applaud! That was great!
