(Occurs between Seasons 2 and 3 of the show.)

Nimbus's dreams have finally been realized. He's an Aviator stationed just outside Manehattan with the 132nd Aviator Squadron. Not a day goes by where he isn't flying a patrol or intercepting the occasional Griffon squadron over Manehattan Bay. However, the Awakening have not given up on their task of removing Celestia and now Luna from the throne. Without the presence of Nightmare Moon, the Awakening must find a new edge against the power of Celestia and Luna. They find a lead amongst whispers of Site Echo- an urban myth detailing a long-lost experimental facility housed deep within the Badlands, and soon Nimbus finds himself with his squadron, chasing down a very real enemy consumed with the search of finding an obscure, but powerful secret.

That secret is Project Spark.

(Rated T for mild language)

(New rating- T for violence. one instance of mild language, and mature themes). All his life, Nimbus had dreamed of being a Wonderbolt. He had the flying ability- what he lacked was dedication. It wasn't hard for him to be accepted to the Academy, but when he failed to understand the true commitment it takes to be one of Equestria's elite flyers, Nimbus found himself kicked out just as quickly as he'd been let in. Now, haunted by his failures at the Wonderbolt Academy, Nimbus is once again dedicated to serving in the skies of Equestria, this time as a Royal Equestrian Air Force Aviator- an elite aerial defender of Equestria. Nimbus must confront the challenges he faced at the Wonderbolt Academy again as a cadet in Aviator Training School. ATS, however, has its own unique set of challenges, and predictions of the return of an ancient evil known only as "Nightmare Moon" are beginning to surface, throwing Equestria into a state of anxiety. Through all of this, can Nimbus persevere? Set approximately one year before the events of "Friendship is Magic," in a slightly altered reality, this story marks a new start for a character who's been waiting for his full story to emerge. This is that story.

This story is a sequel to Skyfall

But when an allied unit goes rogue and new threats loom from the shadows, Equestria's harmony is thrown into international turmoil that could bring about a world war between old enemies and allies. It is left to Skyfall Team to cover up the incident, and eliminate the defectors, before chaos can erupt into full scale conflict that could spell armageddon. Facing off against their comrades, Skyfall will learn that sometimes the toughest fights we face are against our own brothers.

But when Equestria's safety is threatened by an old enemy, he'll find out just what sacrifices war and survival demand, what it truly means to serve for Princess and country, and just how important some friendships can be.

A Reading of the Prologue by TheFirstPersonGamers

Big Mac is not the most outspoken pony in Ponyville. In fact, he rarely speaks at all. All he seems to do is just work on his family's farm day in and day out. Nothing else but his orchards and family seem to matter to him.

Little does anypony know, he is fulfilling the final wish of his departed mother.

To be a simple pony.

Comet takes his job too seriously. Angel doesn't take anything seriously.

Comet joined to protect kingdom and princess(es). Angel joined for adventure and danger.

Comet isn't interested in mares. Angel can't stop talking about stallions.

Comet is a pegasus. Angel is a bat pony.

Together, this unlikely duo goes through life as Royal Guards from basic training to fully fledged guardsponies. Who knows? Maybe they'll even start to get along.
