The Tale of Storm Breaker

by Skylander545


First Dragon Wonderbolt

After many years of going to school, and hanging out with Firefly and Rainbow Blitz, Storm Breaker graduated Canterlot High and started a new life trying to find something that suits him. He did manage to control his storm abilities as he got older. He wandered around Canterlot, looking for a job that might need his expertise until he came across an enlistment poster. He read,

"Want to live your life on the edge? Join the Wonderbolt Academy and train for Equestria's greatest Daredevil aerial squadron." He thought about going to the Wonderbolt Academy until he remembered all of his times in the skies with Firefly and that lightning twirl he did. So he decided,

"Wonderbolt Academy could be the place for me." So he immediately took action and wrote a letter to the Academy requesting to be signed up.


It wasn't until a few days later when he got a message from the Academy itself. He opened it up and read,

"Dear Mr. Storm Breaker,

We have known about you for a long time since your friend is the daughter of one of our Wonderbolts. We know about how you manage with your potentials, but we need to see it for ourselves. We accept your request to join the Academy. You will receive five weeks of training at the Academy itself as well as a roommate for your barracks. At the end of the fifth week, you will present your skills to one of our instructors so they can evaluate you. Be at the Academy tomorrow at 0900 to begin your training.

We will appreciate your presence. Captain Twister."

As he finished reading, he was shocked at the idea that the Academy accepted him. But he was in awe that they know him because of his friendship with Firefly. He shook off his shock and payed attention to the instructions. He has to be at the Academy at 0900 to begin his training.


Storm Breaker took off from Canterlot and followed the instructions on the map that was in the letter, although the Academy was tough to locate. He kept trying and trying again to find that place until he came to a plateau with an airfield on top of it. He checked the map and realized that this is the Wonderbolt Academy. As soon as he landed, he came face to face with his new instructor, Captain Twister. The Captain noticed the dragon and said,

"Ah, Storm Breaker, Welcome to the Wonderbolt Academy. I'm Captain Twister, the Pegasus who sent you that message."

Storm Breaker looked around then back at the Captain and said, "Captain, When do I start my training?"

Twister replied, "Well, since you have been waiting patiently, you shall begin your training at once." He gave Storm Breaker a training suit, "You are going to need this. All cadets are assigned a training suit before training starts."

Storm Breaker nodded as he slipped into his suit. Twister noted, "Well, usually a Pegasus would fit in it. But for a dragon like you, it fits you like a glove."

Storm Breaker snapped his wing into a salute and asked, "Where should I start, sir?"

Twister pointed to a line of cadets, "You will join those cadets as I introduce you to them. But remain at my side until I tell you to join them."

The Dragon nodded as he and the captain walked to the cadets.

As they approached, all cadets stood in attention as Captain Twister began to say,

"All right, cadets. Now I heard rumors that a new member would join you in training." One cadet raised her wing as he called to her, "Care to explain what that rumor is?"

The Cadet replied, "Sir, we heard rumors that our new member in training is a dragon."

Twister replied, "Well, I came to inform you that those rumors are true." He gestured to Storm Breaker as he approached while flexing his Pegasus-like wings. "This is Storm Breaker, he's a dragon from Canterlot who became quite the celebrity because of his wings." The cadets began to gasp at the sight of his wings as one whispered,

"He's the dragon with the Pegasus wings."

Another said, "I knew this dragon from high school."

Twister noticed the gasps, "And if you knew him from high school, you can discuss it with him during lunch." He told the dragon, "Cadet Storm Breaker, join your group."

Storm Breaker joined the group as Twister now ordered, "Today we will be doing basic flight techniques while performing stunts. Since this is his first day, Storm Breaker should go up."

Storm Breaker flexed his wings again, "Yes sir."

He stepped out on to the tarmac as he closed his eyes. He felt the air surge from beneath his wings as they started to flap. As he flapped his wings, the air lifted him off the ground as he opened his eyes. He sped into the sky and made continuous fly-bys. Each fly-by had a different trick: When Storm Breaker passed the first time, he barrel rolled and passed by in a tight angle. When he passed by a second time, he performed his traditional Lightning Twirl. He performed the twirl when he pointed his nose to the ground and pulled up spinning in a perfect twirl and ignited in lightning bolts.

After many passes, he landed back at the academy in front of a very shocked group of cadets and the Captain. Storm Breaker asked,

"Are you going to send somepony else up?"

Twister snapped out of his trance, "Of course, Storm Breaker. Next cadet!"


During Lunch, Storm Breaker ordered an ordinary tomato and cheese sandwich with a side of grapes and a cup of Apple Cider. He sat at his table and began to eat until a cadet sat at the table with him. She said,

"I saw that little performance you did, Storm. I got to admit, that was awesome!"

Storm Breaker asked, "I didn't have to show off that much..." He remembered that voice, "Firefly, is that you?"

Firefly lifted her goggles, "Yeah, its me, dude. Man, fresh out of high school and you already came here."

Storm Breaker nodded, "I know, right?" He asked, "What happened to Rainbow Blitz, Twilight Velvet and the rest of the gang from High School?"

Firefly replied, "Well, I heard that Blitz is somewhere around the Academy. All in all, I haven't heard much of Twilight Velvet or the rest of the old gang from High School."

Storm Breaker replied, "Maybe we can look them up after we're finished training."

Firefly said, "After I find Blitz, I'll pounce on him like what happened after school."

Storm Breaker chuckled, "Yeah, you two crazy ponies always had it in for each other."


After Lunch, Storm Breaker was sent to the Dizzytron for some reason. He watched as many cadets went on that thing and got off really dizzy, He noticed a cadet puke his guts out when he got off that thing. It was now Storm Breaker's turn for the Dizzytron, he stood up without a frightened look on his face. He was strapped in and prepared himself for his cycle. As the Dizzytron started, the Dragon felt a powerful electricity power building in his wings, combined with his storm powers. Just as the Dizzytron reached its peak speed, Storm Breaker broke out and caused a massive storm above the Dizzytron. After that, he saw the accident he created and contained the storm he created. He noticed that the storm wrecked the Dizzytron in the process. He saw the shocked looks on the cadets' faces even the captain and instructors were shocked. Captain Twister shook off the shock and said,

"Storm Breaker, your training session today is done. Report to your barracks." Twister gave Storm Breaker the instructions to his barracks.


Storm Breaker arrived at his new barracks and entered. He remembered that he would have a roommate in his barracks, so he waited until the door opened and a familiar Pegasus mare entered,

"Firefly, You're my roommate?"

Firefly replied, "Well, I wanted to tell you over Lunch, but you had something more important to do."

Storm Breaker asked, "That incident at the Dizzytron....am I dangerous?"

Firefly was about to reply until the door opened and a Pegasus stallion entered with a very familiar voice and Rainbow mane. He replied,

"Storm, I saw what happened at the Dizzytron. It seems that you destroyed the machine."

Storm Breaker was shocked, "Rainbow Blitz, how did you find me?"

Rainbow Blitz replied, "Captain Twister asked me to speak with you about that accident. So, We decided that training of both you and Firefly will be reduced to two weeks."

Firefly asked seductively, "So that's why I couldn't find you. You've become an instructor."

Blitz replied, "So it may seem."

Storm Breaker asked, "So, Blitz. Have you heard from Twilight Velvet or any other members of the old gang from High School?"

Blitz replied, "Twilight Velvet has a job in Canterlot. She is dating a guard lieutenant named Nightlight. Our friend from the Apple Family returned to Ponyville to run Sweet Apple Acres."

Firefly said, "At least we managed to learn what happened to our friends from the gang."


In the next two weeks without a sudden drawback from Storm Breaker's abilities; The Big Day came for his evaluation. Storm Breaker looked at Blitz, who is the instructor who is evaluating him and then back at the tarmac. He knew that Firefly scored a perfect score on her evaluation chart, but now its time for the dragon's turn.

He performed the same take-off technique from his first day at the Academy and lifted off the ground. He started with basic flying techniques until he moved on and performed a Split-S. He moved fast for a dragon, almost too fast to see for the spectators on the ground. He performed a Hammerhead and caused a bunch of lightning sparks to be left in his wake. He decided to pull out a finale trick by performing the same Lightning Twirl and amazed the cadets down on the tarmac. He was better than everypony else, even better than the instructors. He touched back down on the tarmac as Blitz said in shock,

"Storm Breaker, you are more greater at flying than during High School. You passed evaluation. Storm Breaker, you are now a Wonderbolt."

A cadet raised his hoof, "But if he's a Dragon, won't that make him a dragon Wonderbolt?"

Blitz replied, "You are right. Storm Breaker is Equestria's First Dragon Wonderbolt."

A cadet began to asked, "Permission to cheer for Storm Breaker?"

Blitz replied, "Permission granted."

That cadet shouted, "Hey, THREE CHEERS FOR STORM BREAKER!!!!" The cadets cheered as they crowded around him. Storm Breaker felt happy that many ponies cheered for him because of the title. A Rare Feather Winged Dragon made history as the First Dragon Wonderbolt.
