> Captain > by The reader 0_0 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A hero, a leader is born during her darkest moments that she alone must fight to see the light. The sun protruded rays of gold onto the Wonderbolts Navy Yard. The sun burned like a perfect circle of melted butter in it's blue sky dish. The breeze whistled through the turning leaves of the Wonderbolts Navy Yard. A blue sparrow flew anxiously above the tops of the willows. The sun beat down and light pooled peacefully on the flat, worn ground. In a locker room in the Wonder bolts Navy locker room. Stood two new Pegasus recruits changing into uniform. “So the captain been on your flank too huh?” said, a fire maned Pegasus finished zipping up the suit. “He's been on all our flanks!”joked the blue Pegasus, putting on the goggles. “Ha! Can't you belived today is our final training session said the fire maned Pegasus, before you know he'll make me captain.” “Ha as if like, he'll make you captain before me” said blue Pegasus, received a jabbed from the fire maned Pegasus. Ouch!” “Spitfire, Soarin get your flanks to the field now!” shouted the captain through the speakers in the locker room. “Better go before the captains have our flanks” warn Soarin, and left the locker to go to the field, and Spitfire followed behind. When they arrive there were wonderbolts line up with a hoof up to their forehead to salute their captain. So Spitfire and Soarin followed suit. “Attttention!” shouted captain to get every pony attention. They saluted him, and kept still. “Yes sir!” they all shouted in unison “Now I know all of you heard the news” the captain said, He stop near a stallion. “You!” he pointed to the stallion he was standing in front of. “Y-yes sir!” Sturred the stallion. “What is the news?” he said, staring into the stallion's face. “Today is our last training session, Sir!” he shouted, having his chin up. “Wrong! Today is the day where you maggots go on your very first mission. He said, muffled voices was heard in the back. Quite!” the voices stopped. “Today I have the same feelings as most of us have we look at the memorial to the known wonderbolts. I feel sadness and nostalgia. Today (Name of regiment) is being disbanded and I cannot help but feel a great sense of loss and yet I also feel pride. I feel pride in those who have served so selflessly for so long. As your Captain I know more than most what wonderful wonderbolts you can be. I am grateful for your loyalty since I took over this command. I am grateful for your friendship and support. So although we are saying goodbye to our fellow mare and stallions today I know we are not saying goodbye to the qualities you possess in abundance.” he had a little tear streaming down his cheek. I am sad, I am also glad. I am glad that you are being given the opportunity to prove yourselves in the future as I have proven myself in the past. I know that where you go or whatever you do you will serve as you have always served with loyalty, professionalism and true hearts. (If applicable) May Celstia bless you all. He said, then walked away from the wonderbolts to his office. “YES SIR!” they shouted, and give him a saluted then walked to their locker rooms. “Hey spit wait up! Soarin called out, he caught up to Spitfire who was walking to the locker room to get all equipment. Aren't you excited, our very first mission.” She shrugged, “I never killed a pony before,” she said, But I'll do it to protect Equestria.” “Me either, But can't wait to fine out with it feels liked,” he said, with a sicken grin. “You played too much vidoe games she replied, rolling her eyes. I'll meet up with you later Ok” he nodded then took off. Spitfire were in the locker room packing stuff she needed to have before she go on the mission that probably take her life. A letter drop out of the bag when she was packing. She recognized the writing it was from her mother. Dear Spitfire, I'll never stop dreaming that one day we can be a real family again, together, all of us laughing and talking, loving and understanding, not looking at the past but only to the future. I hope you make it out alived on your mission. Your father loves you as much as I do. Please be safed. Your mother, Fireblazed. Tears was streaming down her faced. She missed her mother ever since she left to be a wonderbolt, and never got a chane to write her back. “I promised mom, Ima come home,” she whipered. It's time Wonderbolts. I know many of you are scared. But remember you have a team to fight along side you. We're fearless, we're stronged, WE'RE THE WONDERBOLTS!” Spitfire can hear a loud cheer coming from the other locker room. Hearing chanting “We are the wonderbolts”. Spitfire grabbed her equipment, and headed out the locker. Where she met Soarin waiting for her near the exit. “You're ready?” He asked, he were wearing the blue wonderbolt suited with equipment on it. “As ever!” she replied. “Lets go!” He glide out the exit, and she followed behind him. Heading to meet up with the other wonderbolts. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. A hero is born in the darkest hour forming a fearless captain. The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. Author note: I hopr you enjoyed it was a idea in my head, I'll get a proof reading right on it. > When we come crashing down > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hovering over the horizon. Spitfire and the new recruits were in a plane build by Pegasus, for ones who can't fly or for unicorns and earth ponies. Spitfire didn't know why the captain said they had to board the plane since they can fly. The question was nagging at her brain far too long, so she had to get it off her chest. “Permission to speak, captain,” Said Spitfire, to the captain who was seated across from her. “Go ahead,” replied the captain. “Why do we have to fly in this plane, why can't we used our wings?” “Because of that,” The captain pointed outside the window. Which view a forest just a few feet from them. You need to save your energy can't have you tired out on us in battle, and they made spot us before we get there if we used our wings” he explain. Soarin who was seated next to Spitfire, also had a question for the captain.” Permission to speak also, captain,” said Soarin, the captain nodded meaning it was OK to speak. What is our mission?” “Their were reports of a stolen cargo that was traced here,” he said, pointing to a spot on the map he held in his hooves. “We don't know who stolen it, but all we know it hold's something dangerous, and It's our job to retrieved it,” he explain. “Do we Who stolen the cargo, sir?” asked one of the recruit, over hearing the conversation. “No, but we believed it's the griffins,” he said, “Any other questions” all of them shook their heads. “Good” A awkward silence passed. Soarin was the one to break it. “You nervous Spit,” he said, playfully jabbed her sides. “Yeah a little,” she admitted. “Can't wait until we're done this mission!” Exclaim the pilot, looking behind to face the recruits, Ima get me some cider.” “You said!” shouted another wonderbolt, and the whole crew burst out laughing, but soon as it started it came to a halt when something hit them. Sending the plane an high pressure. “Shit! We've been hit!” it was plummeting down from the sky, and heading towards the forest at a high speed. “Captain I can't control it, we're going to crashed!” The captain moved to the door that leads to the exit of the plane, and opened it. “Jump out! Then used your wings to stopped your fall, and glide to safety!” he shouted, the wind impacting making it hard to listen. One by one the other wonder bolts jump out of the plane,and using their wings to stopped their fall, and glide to safety. Soarin was at the door, but stopped when he saw unconscious Spitfire still seated. “Shit hold Spit! He shouted between the wind. Captain stopped him with a hoof, and sadly shook his head. “No time! I can't lose two of my men!” he shouted, then he pushes Soaring off the plane, and jump out after him. Leaving Spitfire plummeting down into the forest with the plane.
