//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: What does knowledge or skill count? Sprint vs Rainbow Dash Who's better Wonderbolts vs Golden Wings . // Story: Crimson and Twilight // by CrimsonBrust //------------------------------// Twilight began to wake up in her bed when she heard noises coming from outside the castle. As soon as she went out to see what was happening, she noticed that Crimson was practicing it was more unusual. She knew he was adept at magic, but she was amazed how great Crimson was at using all kinds of unknown weapons and martial arts. She felt that punishing with a different weapon was a different style of training. When he stopped, he clapped his hands and sat down and stared at him. "Did I wake you Twilight?" Crimson asked. “I didn't wake up alone. I saw you practicing, it's amazing how you did it. You looked so happy and you knew each other well. Where did you learn it? Twilight spoke as Crimson sat down next to her. “Well, some things my parents taught me, some teachers and some other things I learned on my own. Honestly, I always reported everything myself. Crimson said. Twilight felt Crimson grow in her eyes. She felt how much they had in common, and the longer they spent time together, the more connected they felt, but they were reluctant to admit it. Suddenly, they both felt a gust of strong wind. Twilight saw something metal fly over them at high speed. If it were a ponytail, she would have thought it was Rainbow Dash, but it wasn't. "What was that? I haven't even seen it. He was faster than Rainbow Dash on the huge Boom." Said Twilight as more of these objects illuminated the thickened sky. “It had to be Sprint with Storm Hawks. They have training days today. Crimson said. "But the Redfish are in those bird-like flying vehicles?" What do you call wogule? Twilight asked curiously. “We call them planes, they are much faster than any other Pegasus or vehicle in the empire. There are many variants and uses. Crimson said. When Twilight looked up at the sky as a fighter squadron, I was doing an amazing action program for her. "Crimson and how are they fast?" she asked excitedly. "It's a Wirel A15 fighter, so its speed is three times the speed of sound." Crimson said. “Crimson, it's amazing how high they fly. You know that you surprise me more and more every day." Twilight said happily. Suddenly they saw Rainbow Dash flying towards them. She sat down on one of the chairs and, disgusted with the world, drank apple juice from Applejack's farm. "You look dissatisfied for some reason. Has something happened to Rainbow Dash?" Crimson asked as Rainbow Dash glared at the player. “Because flying there interrupted our training at the Academy. Also, when we wanted to catch up with them, they all disappeared at a great pace, although Wonderbolts and I are the fastest, I couldn't catch up with them. Hell, we all got sooty when we chased him! Rainbow shouted, angrily dissatisfied with the fact that she wasn't fast enough. "You know it's always like this when you're standing with a hunting machine. Besides, I know why he's pushing you so much. Because you were the fastest and yet you met something faster than you." Crimson said when Rainbow Dash agreed, nodding her head. "Crimson, you say it, you know it, you know it exactly. Because you know what it is! Tell me how to beat it! And why is it so fast!" Rainbow asked for information but was stopped by Twilight. "Rainbow! Calm down! You'll be the best flier for everyone in Equestria and Wonderbolts. And the fact that he's faster than you doesn't change anything. reassuring Rainbow, she told Twilight that this only helped calm down a little, but it didn't take long for one machine to break down near the castle. Rainbow couldn't believe that the Pegasus in Chełm and the flight suit jumping out of the machine only realized it was Sprint, but the rest of the machines flew back to base. “But Crimson practiced today. We went to training and saw a city of clouds floating above the ground. And I'm going to run around with pegasus in weird blue costumes trying to chase us, but we quickly disappeared." Sprint said when Rainbow Dash was about to attack him, but Crimson used a tranquilizer spell to avoid the attack. Twilight was relieved to feel Crimson reassure her with a spell. “Honestly, Sprint was me along with the best aces in Equestria. Anyway, I'm the fastest flier in Equestria, and this fighter of yours only proves you can't fly. Rainbow Dash said, bragging. “Rainbow Dash is such a proverb in our aviation. "A cow that roars a lot produces little milk." Plus you're jealous because you wanted to fly with the incredible speed of sound, ”said Sprint, who replied to the boast without responding. “Yes, you are sure you are a better flyer than we Wonderbolts! I invite you and your pilots to an air show where we will see who is better than ordinary pegasi or machines! "We Wonderbolts are doing better than yours," said Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash couldn't understand how happy Sprint was about it. "Okay, designate a place and time, we'll do this show, there will be legends about this show in Equestria." Sprint said confidently. "Cloudsdale, frankly, we'll give you time to get the machines ready tomorrow." Rainbow said. "Okay, we'll be there by noon, we'll have to get ready to leave." said Sprint. "Alright, alright. To be fair, I'll tell you Reinbow Dash how to prepare for the Airplane Show. And it was much safer. Sprint with my squadron I will fly on P51 Yurmi a little slower but it will be safer for all participants. Do you agree?" Crimson said. Rainbow Dash and Sprint knew Crimson was being honest with them and replied, "Yes, we agree!" - Twilight and you'll be obligatory, right? Rainbow asked. "Of course I will be your friend. I will be with everyone and with the students." Twilight said. "Ok, good luck to all of you." Crimson said with a smile. Sprint took off in the fighter, and Rainbow Dash flew to Academi to prepare. - Who do you think will like it more? Rainbow Dash or Sprint? Twilight asked, waiting for Crimson's opinion. “I say both shows will be great! But this demonstration will show what knowledge or skills are all about. Since Sprint has great knowledge of air shows, Rainbow Dash has show skills. But I'm counting on them all, said Crimson. Twilight just agreed and continued her conversation about airplanes to learn more about it. Twilight invited Princess Celestia to the show and told me I would be hosting the Crimson. But the rumor that Wonderbolts would face an unknown group of software using unknown machines caused such a commotion that Academi Wonderbolts and Cloudsdale were collecting ponies from all over Equestria and beyond. For this reason, Cloudsdale itself and the surrounding area ran out of places to sleep. On the same day, Celestia handed over all the permits and helped with the show, but no one knew what a surprise Crimson had prepared. Celestia also received information that a person from the empire would appear. She hoped that this program of friendly competition would get to know the Empire even better. Outside of school, all the students, Twilight, and her friends were waiting for Crimson. Rainbow Dash wasn't the only one in Cloudsdale with the other Wonderbolts in Cloudsdale. Suddenly, a ship appeared in front of the school, smaller than the ones that arrived, but larger than the ones Twilight and her friends had taken earlier. “Good children and teacher, let's come in. Attention everyone, if it suddenly explodes under the seats, it will be a disaster. Crimson said, but fear seized him. "Crimson, please don't be kidding," Twilight said, barely angry. "Okay, I'm sorry to come in. Nobody wants to be late for the show. Crimson said. They were in Cloudsdale in five minutes. Their ship spilled over the cloud-covered bridge. "Crimson didn't know these vehicles could stand for the clouds." Twilight said. “Twilight, no vehicle can stand on the clouds. But if I were to continue the conversation, I would spoil the surprise, "Crimson said, winking at her. The places where they were supposed to watch the show were close to them, and in addition, Princess Celestia was waiting for them. “Crimson, you organized it well, I'm looking forward to the show. And from what Twilight said, these machines… I mean, airplanes are amazing.” Celestia said. - Princess, which show will be best Flutteryshy asked. - Of course, Rainbow Dash and Wonderbolts. It's Equestria's pride, but I also wanted to meet the guy who was coming." Celestia said excitedly. "Of course, Princess Celestia, I will be with us soon. Oh, I can see his transpor!" Crimson said, pointing to the helicopter, which disembarked a middle-aged blue pegasus with an orange mane and gold and green stripes. His seal was the blueprints of the plane with drawing accessories. "Maybe I'll introduce you to Celestia, this is Veradus Wireli Starsky, head of the Academi Iralum aviation institute." Crimson said, introducing the visitor. "It is nice to meet Princess Celestia. I hope the show will be extremely successful for you, your guests and the people of Equestria." Starsky said, bowing humbly. "Nice, to sit down with us, please." Celesti said with satisfaction. Twilight, Crimson, Celestia, and Starsky sat in the top box, with Twilight and Spike's friends below it, and a student below it. "Mr. Starsky, what will bring you to Equestria? Will I bring you here for the show, have you been invited?" Twilight asked. “I came here to research flying. Airshows provide an unforgettable flight experience and knowledge of aviation safety and areodinamic. This allows us to build safer and better machines. Starsky said. - So you're learning to fly? It's a bit incomprehensible? Celestia surprised. "aeronautical research is not only about flying, but also about maintenance, machine behavior testing and flight experimentation." Crimson replied. "Exactly my prince!" Starfly let him in. They were supposed to continue, but the message interrupted them. "Attention, the show will start for a while. Please take your seats and don't fly to the show area," said the commentator. "Oh, it starts!" Crimson said with complete silence. "It's Equestria's pride and her best Wonderbolts aces!" then all Wonderbolts flew in from Rainbow Dash under control, and streaks of their colors appeared and landed in their place. "So it started. Now there's no turning back!" said the Spitfire. "We'll show them peace!" Sorain said. "Behind Wonderbolts!" He screamed, sticking out his hoof. "FOR WONDERBOLTS" they shouted enthusiastically. "And now their opponents, an elite squadron straight from a distant empire, here are the Golden Wings." They will be greeted very warmly. During this time, 16 P51 Yurmi fighters flew through the arena, using two jet engines on their wings. By releasing a stock of different colors rising vertically like a candle. Then it breaks off and walks surprisingly close. At that time, a ship suddenly appeared from under the arena. "Crimson, what is this ship?" Celestia asked. “This is a surprise for an Irkir-class aircraft carrier that allows planes to land safely. But this is only the first part of the surprise." Crimson smiled as the fighter landed on the carrier. "And now their opponents, an elite squadron straight from a distant empire, here are the Golden Wings." They will be greeted very warmly. During this time, 16 P51 Yurmi fighters flew through the arena, using two jet engines on their wings. By releasing a supply of different colors hovering over the arena. Then they flew surprisingly close to the audience. At that time, a huge ship suddenly appeared from under the arena. "Crimson, what is this ship?" Celestia asked. "It's a suprise. An Irkir-class aircraft carrier that allows aircraft to land safely. But that's only the first part of the surprise. " Crimson smiled as the fighter landed on the carrier. The fighter squadron landed on the carrier. When they all landed, they jumped out of the fighters. All sixteen were dressed like Wonderbolts, but their flight suits were gray with no rare symbols, and they wore helmets. As they emerged from the fighters, they stood in front of the Wonderbolts and watched them with confident eyes. "So this is the elite. Looking at their expressions, they envy us planes." said Sprint. "They are fast, how much can they fly?" Sorain asked. "The P51 Yurmi will easily even surpass you to the game if we were racing." The winger said. - And the helmets are used for decoration? Are they special to your misfortune? Rainbow Dash asked. "And these helmets are for ... for a while, and you wouldn't get it anyway." said Sprint. "So I'm going to start, let the air show begin with Wonderbolts and Golden Wings. Good luck everyone." And the demonstration of the Golden Wings will begin. They took off with the carrier when they were playing Wonderbolts and the show. Everyone was delighted with the Airplane Air Show and Wonderbolts. Celestia said the show would have to be repeated next year, but with more participants. Additional Conversation Starsky became more familiar with the shows of the Hayland Empire. When the verdict was announced who won after the shows, everyone was shocked. After the shows, Crimson in disguise went to the carrier square. "Everyone liked it, time to announce who won this show, but applause first!" Crimson said as all Cloudsdale cheered and clapped. "So Golden Wings and Wonderbolts are you ready, who won the shows?" Crimson asked as everyone shouted "YES!" "So the winners of the show are ... we have Draw!" they all clapped and cheered from the vineyard. Everyone who flew all day couldn't believe it, but the most were Sprint and Rainbow Dash, but they squeezed their hooves in agreement, as did the others. After show Everyone cannot tear themselves away from the ponies, who wanted to congratulate them, sign autographs or give interviews. "Rainbow Dash and Sprint, how do I show you this?" Celestia asked. “I don't think they'll figure out what he did yet. Together they played the best concert in Equestria. Moreover, they would not have done it without their friends and friends. I can say the show was successful. Crimson said. "Exactly, and next year, Crimson, you will arrange this in Canterlocia, and I want the sculpture to last a few days, not the best weeks, so there are crews or ..." Celestia said excitedly as Crimson cut her off. "Of course, but for now I don't plan on doing it next year. But I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. Right?" he said as a student from Twilight School congratulated the participants on the program. “Yes, Crimson was a dream show. But the next one you do, I'm better than today. And besides, I'm glad you love making amazing things with the day of filling. " Twilight said. - Okay, okay, but let me tell you Crimson, who really won the show? Rainbow Dash asked. "I agree with Rainbow who really won?" continuation of the sprint. “But it really was Draw. Everybody liked it. What's more, they wanted you to play a concert together one day. " Crimson said, looking at the two pegasi. "Okay, your fighter is the worst," Rainbow said as Sprint replied, "And you really deserve the title of best aviator in Equestria." "Sorry to bother you, lovers couple, but you are coming back with us or staying." Crimson said when they heard this, he blushed and answered Only one answer. "We're on our way" when they both covered their cheeks. "Crimson and how is the second part of the surprise?" Spike asked. "The second part is that the next show will be in Ponyville and the host will be a special guest, but what I will learn only at the next show"
