chapter 6

-2 months later-

"Come on Brae I know you can do better than that! Try that run again!"

Soarin stood on the ground at Sweet Apple Acres, watching Braeburn train as the memories of the past couple months replayed in his mind.

-Flashback-

"Spitfire don't be so cold! Give Brae a bucking chance to prove himself!"

Soarin barked angrily at the firey coated pegasus across the room from him. Spitfire stared back at him, her trademark tinted shades being the only thing blocking anypony from seeing the fury in her eyes, but Soarin didn't need to see her eyes to know what emotion she currently held in them.

"'No Soarin, and that's final! Coltfriend or not I will not allow an earthpony wannabe flyer to be a part of this team I put up with Braeburn's involvements with the team thus far but this I will not stand for!"

Something in Soarin cracked in that moment... Something about the way Spitfire talked about Braeburn when he wasn't here to defend himself, it was a final straw of sorts for Soarin. Soarin decided not to waste anymore words on Spitfire' instead he chose to reply through his actions. Soarin reached a hoof to the pocket of his uniform shirt, removed his WonderBolt badge and placed it on the table before storming out of his former teammate's office at the WB academy before Spitfire could even reply.

-end flashback-

"Yo man, Soarin, let's take a break man."

Said a grey pegasus, his white puffy mane matching the clouds as he stopped to hover in the air. Soarin nods with a smile and Braeburn and the grey pegasus descend, Braeburn tucking his artificial wings to his side.

"Nice flying there Braeburn!"

The grey pegasus exclaims with a warm smile.

"Thank ya kindly Rapidfire."

Braeburn replies returning the smile.

-Flashback-

Rapidfire Approaches Soarin as the lightblue pegasus heads for the exit of the academy.

"Yo man, wait up!"

Soarin hauls around ready to explode at whoever stopped him. However his anger immediately diminishes and he calms down as soon as he sees the worried face of Rapidfire staring concerned back at him. Rapidfire was the closest thing akin to a brother to Soarin, when Soarin needed somepony to talk to Rapidfire listened, when there was an argument he always took Soarin's side, and when Soarin introduced Braeburn to the team he welcomed him with open hooves. Rapidfire truly was a steadfast friend.

"Listen man, I overheard the conversation between you and Spits and, well, I don't want any part of a team who views other ponies like that it just ain't right... so what are you going to do now?"

Soarin and Rapidfire keep walking towards the exit as they continue talking,

"Well I promised Brae he and I would pursue this dream of his to fly, so,.... I'm gonna start my own flight team."

"Sign me up dude!"

Raidfire exclaimed enthusiastically.

"You wanna come with me and Brae?"

Soarin asked stopping at the door giving a dead serious look at Rapidfire.

"Damn straight, you bet man! you lead, I follow!"

With that the two former Wonderbolts left the academy for the last time with a new goal.
