Later in the day, HyperBlitz stared out the window, watching the rain come down on the ground. He sat in the mainroom as EchoBeat was on the computer. Hyper seemed to watch a single water droplet on the window, swirl down, until it was gone. 
Nopony would dare go out into the rain. Not because they would get wet, but because they would get sick. The rain was tainted from the dust clouds and debris in the sky. The waste in the rivers was also a contribute to that. But many ponies noticed that the rain and water had cleaned up some since they started the rebellion teams. But just to be sure, they used purification filters to use to water.
Hyper just sat on the hard flow and gazed at the outside world. He wondered how long it was since the Catalyst had happened. It had to defiantly been more then a year. But the Rebellion hadn't started since a few month before now. Hyper wondered what would have happened if they started the rebellion earlier. Would the world be even more cleaned up? Would it be almost normal? But what was normal. A few months ago, it was normal to be sleeping in an uncomfortable bed, with barely and water, and only food supplies that went down every day. That was why they need a new beginning. 
As Hyper sat by the window, he felt another pony come by, and sit next to him. He didn't look over though.
"What's wrong HyperBlitz?" A gentle voice asked.
He twisted his head and saw the aqua-green unicorn looking at him. Her brown eyes seemed to show concern. 
"It's nothing, HeartFelt." 
"It has the be something." She said. "You've been acting different."
Hyper sighed. "Nopony likes the way I help. I want to help, and when I do, they say I'm doing it wrong."
HeartFelt titled her head, and her brown mane shifted down. "What do you mean? Everypony needs help it seems, and we ask you-"
"But they say to stop!" Hyper interupted. "They say I'm too loud, or too... myself. I know I'm loud! Sereiously, I'm loud right now!" Hyper's vocie was actually getting louder as they spoke, "Its just that I have a lot of energy in me. No, not like pure energy, but just my own..."
HeartFelt nodded. "Maybe... just try to be more calm when you work. And listen to the other ponies."
"I do listen!" Hyper called back.
Clapping of hooves was heard across the floor behind them. "Maybe you need to stop arguing with everypony. You seem to be doing that a bunch. Not everypony like's to argue." 
Hyper didn't look back. "And I'd think that, SpinningNote."
The reddish purple unicorn just shook his head, and went towards the hallway. He didn't say anything else.
Hyper let out a breath, and placed his attention back to the window and rain. HeartFelt still sat with him. She studied the stallion, and how his posture was. It was quiet for a while, and nopony spoke. After some time, there was a tapping noise, in certain beat. Hyper twisted his head around and saw Echo tapping his hooves on the computer desk.
"Could you stop!" The pegasus said aggravated.
Echo froze his hooves and placed his head a bit lower. "Sorry." The red pony watched Hyper look back out the window with an annoyed expression. "Hyper, I always do that... Why are you bothered by it now?"
"I don't know." Hyper shrugged.
Again, it was quiet for a while. Hyper felt like the other ponies were the ones that started any arguments. He divided to get up, and lift to his hooves. He left HeartFelt and Echo in the mainroom by themselves. He trotted slowly into the hallway. Hyper passed his own bedroom and went towards the back of the hall. 
His ears twitched as he heard some noises inside the last room on the left. It seemed that SpinningNote was messing with his mixing. But it didn't seem like any song Hyper had heard. He peaked inside, and saw Spinning on his turntable, while FeatherTune was sitting to the side with his guitar. Hyper stepped inside the room.
"What are you doing?" Hyper questioned.
"Well, first of all, it's raining, so there's nothing to do. And second, I decided to go back to some music." Spinning cocked his head. 
"When will you ever use it." 
"We've played a little bit." Who says we've stop. I know that ponies like music." Spinning told him. "Anyways, I wanted to try some things. For some reason, the sounds aren't adding up right." He glanced down at the buttons on the touch-screen that would make noises. " I'm not sure if I got the right sounds programed in."
Hyper looked over at the screen. "I'd try, but I'd probably break it."
Spinning thought for a moment and shrugged. "Yeah, you would break it." He smirked.
Hyper scowled at the unicorn. "I can break it if you want me to!" Then he turned around, stepping away.
"Geez, Hyper. I was just saying-"
"I wouldn't think you'd agree. but it seems you do."
"I can say what ever I like." Spinning snapped.
HyperBlitz walked towards the door. As he went through, he paused, not looking back. He lifted up his left wing and showed his second feather. Then he kept going and closed the door.
Spinning flipped his head in shock. He turned to the side. "Feather! Did you see what he just did to me?!"
FeatherTune placed his head up from looking at the guitar. He started at the unicorn with confusion. "What? What did he do?"
Spinning rubbed his forehead with his hoof. "You didn't see that?!"
"No..." Feather mumbled. "What?"
Outside in the hall, HyperBlitz walked with heavy steps. Again, he passed the bedrooms. He turned the corner into the mainroom. Now HeartFelt was behind the chair watching EchoBeat on the computer. Before Hyper could see if the ponies turned to look at him, he placed his head forward, and went into the next room. 
He glanced into the meeting-room. He looked across the table, and saw BlazingFlair. The orange pony was wearing a saddlebag with a tool box on it. He held a tool in his mouth, then placed it back inside the box. He turned to the door on the far side of the room. Hyper trotted over towards Blazing.
"Are you going to the energy mill?" Hyper asked.
His green eyes shifted over and saw the yellow pegasus. "Yeah. Echo said that one of the energy laser's are off. I'm going to go fix it."
"Need any assistance?"  Hyper cocked his head.
"Nah, It's only broken at the ground. I think I'm good." Blazing retorted.
"Alright." Hyper said in a disappointed tone. 
He watched the earth-pony open the door, and climb down the stairs, for the energy mill was underground. The door shut, and Hyper twisted around. He decided nopony really wanted his help anymore. And if they did, he'd just make them angry.
HyperBlitz went to his bedroom, and laid on his stomach. He pressed his muzzle into the pillow. He tilted his head up a bit and glanced out the window where water droplets still came down. He sighed as he heard rain pattering on the top of the base. He had not got any energy out today. And the rain didn't give any help. Hyper just sat in his room and thought to himself. 
	God, all of these ponies... they just don't understand me! They know that the even the world needs help. If I work with them ,they it will get the world back on track faster. Well, I guess not, but everypony's contorbution counts! And I COULD help A LOT!
