Air Supremacy

Villain

Wind Sprint thinks back to the moment when she signed the contract as she looks at the audience cheering her on. Accepting the offer had been a no-brainer.

She takes a deep breath and launches herself into the air. She soars around the ‘extreme’ obstacle course, zipping through the flaming hoops. The fire’s on the outside, giving the illusion of danger, with less risk than blasting through a wall of flames like the Washouts had done.

Wind Sprint bemoans the changes made to the Crushinator Jaws of Smash-A-Lot (Patent Pending) as she approaches what’s left of the once dangerous device. When she’d first seen Lightning Dust narrowly avoid disaster, she knew she wanted to be a stunt flyer more than anything in the world. Way cooler than being a buckball player. Now the device sports spikey ‘teeth’ top and bottom, with a gap perfectly-sized for a pegasus to fly straight through without being crushed. The ‘teeth’ prevent it from closing all the way and trapping her inside.

The rest of the stunts go as planned, and Wind Sprint lands to a roaring ovation.

Wind Rider and Lightning Dust exchange smiles. If they can build on this success, they’ll run the Wonderbolts out of business, one promising recruit at a time. Or maybe two at a time – the Barrel twins are looking mighty promising…

Heh. I clicked on the villain path too.
Seemed like something that a spirited and headstrong Wind Sprint might do.

I loved reading these books in the 1990's.
