	HyperBlitz opened his  brown eyes. He still felt pretty stiff. His body seemed to be clenched up together.  He looked at the walls where dawn showed slightly.  When he put his hooves on the floor, he glanced at his wing.  Eh, I'll wait to turn it on, I don't want to waste energy.  But it was the energy inside of himself that he needed to get out. 
Hyper turned towards the mainroom. He scanned the room; EchoBeat was on the computer, in his usually position. CharmingRhythm glanced over and saw Hyper. The blue-gray unicorn nodded, as a greeting.
"So, are you going to do anything today?" Rhythm asked.
"Like what?" Hyper cocked his head. "Nopony likes the way I help."
"Just try. And don't argue. That's the big thing." Rhythm looked at the window. "It might rain later on today. So if you want to go out some time, you better get going. Do you want something to eat first?"
"Nah, I can wait." Hyper then went towards the door.
The door opened with a squeak, and Hyper slid through. He trotted along the dirt path. He stared  the dark west horizon. There was a small line of clouds, darker then the clouds that spread across the sky. It probably wouldn't rain right as they hit the area, but storm clouds can go on for many miles. Hyper would have to use his time right.
In the camp, Hyper spotted one of his companions, FeatherTune. The cream pegasus sat down with another pony. His reddish-brown eyes studied pieces of silver and white metal. He really didn't know how to build anything, why would another pony try to teach him? As Hyper passed by him, his face lifted up from under his fluffy brown mane. 
"Hey, Hype."
"Hey..." Hyper muttered, then kept striding forward.
The yellow pegasus stopped, and studied the open area in the middle of the camp. He saw ThunderCharm talking with BlackOut. A mare was glaring at Hyper from the side. He whipped his head around and met her stare. She was a red earth-pony with a pink mane.
"What?!" Hyper yelled out, even if she was only a few steps in front of himself. "What do you want, RoseTwist?"	
She just shook her head.
"What?!" Hyper called out again. "What do you have against me?! You seem to hate me! I never did anything wrong."
RoseTwist sighed. "I just don''t like you around my daughter." She was talking about LilyMist. "I don't think she would get anything good from you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, SunSwirl told me that you called her a b-word." 
"No I didn't!" Hyper noticed that he was now lying. He let out a breath. "You take a disliking to swearing. I know that I swear a lot.... But I try not to around young ponies! And I'm sure that your daughter is smart enough to not use such words!"
"You do not know my daughter!" RoseTwist shouted.
Hyper then took a few steps away, with an angry expression. His ears twitched as he heard some other voices.
"I think I can find it." BlackOut said to ThunderCharm.
"Find what?" Hyper asked.
"Why must you get into other's conversations?!" RoseTwist said from behind.
"This doesn't involve you either!" He snapped. "So... find what?"
Thunder replied. "A Hybrid. Some ponies said that they saw one around here. They didn't kill it becasue they didn't have enough of energy with them."
"I can kill it!" Hyper jumped.
"BlackOut said he can already go out an find it." Thunder explained. "And I don't want to be rude, but I truly believe BlackOut can do better at killing  a Hybrid than you. His talent is fighting."
RoseTwist leaned in, with a concerned face. "LilyMist is out there! She went out with SunSwirl and Iridescent to get some supplies." 
"Then I'll go find her." Hyper announced.
"What is with you and my daughter!?" RoseTwist growled. "What do you want with her?!"
Hyper flipped around and stepped in front of her face. "I had children of my own!	Now I only have a child, and he doesn't even live here! For your information, one of my daughters was named Lily. She was much younger then your daughter. But she was helpless to hybrids, and her mother had to watch her be killed!" Hyper's voice shook as he called to the red mare "I'm not gonna let that happen to your daughter."
Then after a few moments, Hyper turned around, and trotted away. RoseTwist's expression lightened, and wasn't so angry any more. Her face almost matched ThunderCharm's , who was shocked at what Hyper had said. Thunder didn't say anything, only stared at RoseTwist. Then they both looked over and saw Hyper leap into the air. But just as he did so, he fell, planking face-first into the ground.
"Hyper, you're wing isn't turned on." Thunder told him.
He leaped up off the ground. "I think I figured that out!" He groaned.
He tapped the orb on his right metal wing with his hoof. The blue glow of pure energy appeared, and he jumped back into the air. Hyper flew away from the camp, and gained his height. He didn't say anything else to the ponies. His brown eyes caught sight of BlackOut, who was going to the north of him. 
The yellow pegasus watched the rocky ground below him. He saw many small groups of ponies. Hyper knew that they should probably  go back to the base too, but it seemed like they had enough of energy with them if they got into any trouble. He also knew that BlackOut could probably hunt down any Hybrid. Still, Hyper made it his duty to find LilyMist. Even if her mother didn't want him too. HyperBlitz knew that ponies didn't like they way he helped. 
Suddenly, Hyper saw two yellow unicorns, one with a multi-colored mane, and the other with a orange mane. He saw the white filly with them too. He flew down towards them and folded his wings down. Iridescent turned her head around, and her violet eyes caught Hyper. 
"HyperBlitz?" She said softly. "What is it?"
"Some ponies said that there was a Hybrid out here. I know you're just getting supplies, but its probably not a good idea for you girls to be out here. I know that you can possible take a Hybrid down, but you never know..." Hyper explained, then looked to LilyMist. "And your mother really doesn't want you out here with Hybrids around." He then stepped back. "That's all... Oh, it's probably gonna rain."
Hyper flickered his wings out and pushed up again. Iridescent nodded giving a thanks for the information. The ponies trotted out and went back towards the camp, while Hyper stayed in the air. He decided just to go back to the base. He would have liked to give a go at the Hybrid with BlackOut, but knowing the black stallion, he wouldn't agree. He guessed it was probably a good idea to let BlackOut do what he could.
He went into the base and chose to stay there. FeatherTune should have known if it would rain or not. So he would get back to the base when ever he wanted too. But Hyper did know that Feather could be very confused at some times. Surely some ponies at that camp knew about rain. And if it did start raining... well, Feather could either stay in the camp, or fly very fast.
Hyper saw the sky darken. He decided to get something to eat, to help his hunger as he waited. But what was he really waiting for. I Hyper couldn't decide on that. He truly wasn't waiting for a pony, or the rain.
