> The Wrath of a Thunder God > by MacJack > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prolauge > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- POV Thunderlane The storm clouds rumbled and the sky flashed with lighting but I watched it completely entertained. I sat, looking out my bedroom window as the storm raged and to think that it was the simple act of setting up a lighting rod to set of light bulbs that made my cutie mark appear, a black cloud with a lighting bolt coming out of it. "Don't worry my child, the power of the lighting will becomes yours in good time."said a mysterious voice in my head. "Who? Who are you?" I asked. "My name doesn't matter right now, what does matter is that you will become so much more when the time comes. You have been gifted and in time that gift will change the world." "Change the world how?" I questioned but there was only silence. I sighed, wondering if maybe I was just hearing things > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fifteen years later... Sitting in the grass behind my house I had remembered the day I had earned my cutie mark like it was yesterday, but what also intrigued me was that bizarre voice that had talked to me afterword. My thoughts were interrupted by a pair of hooves wrapping around me. I looked up and was met with a pair of dark green eyes staring at me, which I easily recognized as belonging to my coltfriend Soarin. "Hey, how was the show?" "Wasn't bad, just wish that you had been there." he replied, nuzzling me affectionately. I smiled feeling warm in his embrace, but there was something that still bothered me and it was the amount of violent storms that were springing up across Equestria. "Soarin? Did they say anything about the storms across Equestria?" "Nah. It seems like these new storm are completely unnatural." 'Damn.' "But it doesn't matter. As long as I still get to sit here and hold you in my hooves." Meanwhile... POV Logan As I sat on the bench, I glanced up to the dark sky above me. Manehattan was where I was and the storm was about to hit. I brushed some loose strands of my dark green hair aside as the lighting started flashing overhead. 'These storms are really something else. The roll in completely unexpected, drench the area in rain, fry a couple of things with lighting bolts and then...gone.' And as if on que, the rain started and it was pelting down hard, soaking my coat and mane. "You are not him."said a mysterious voice. I lept from the bench and looked for the source of the voice "You are you? Show yourself!" "I am the Thunder god and you will only see me when his body is ready." "Who's body?" I said, calling out to the strange voice. "A pegasus in a town called Ponyville." "Who?" I shouted once more. But my question was unanswered as the storm dissipated. "Shit." With the storm gone I now knew that I needed to get to Ponyville and find out who this future vessel for this Thunder god would be and stop him before he caused more than just random lighting storms. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was mid afternoon when I arrived in Ponyville, but as I looked around I realized that finding this pegasus was going to be like finding a blade of grass in a hay stack.The rumbling of my stomach reminded that I hadn't eaten lunch, so I headed in the direction of the market. But I wasn't sure if I should eat something from the market or find a restaurant, maybe have an oat burger, but I really needed to-. My thoughts were immediately interrupted when I collided with somepony in front of me. I turned my attention to the pony I had run into which was a black coated pegasus stallion with a light green and white striped mohawk mane, golden eyes and his cutie mark was a grey cloud with a yellow lighting bolt coming from it. He was accompanied by a pale blue coated pegasus stallion with a dark blue mane, deep green eyes and his cutie mark was lighting bolt with a pair of wings. But I had seen enough Wonderbolt posters and heard enough from crazed fanmares to know that the blue coated stallion was Soarin. "Shit, sorry about that I should've been watching where I was going." "No no its my fault, I was a bit... distracted." replied the black stallion, blushing slightly. "You know I haven't seen you around Ponyville before." remarked Soarin. "What brings you here?" "I came here from Manehattan after the storm." "There's more to it than isn't there?" "Well a voice told me in a dream that an important pony lives here that'll be able to do something about the storms." "You might be refering to Princess Twilight but she hasn't been able to work out how these storms work." replied the black stallion. "I'm not looking for an alicorn mister...?" "Thunderlane and if your not looking for an alicorn then who are you looking for?" "I'm looking for a pegasus, but from what I've seen here in Ponyville that's going to be harder than I first thought." I said as my mane fell over my eyes. "Well I wish you the best of luck in any case." "Thanks Soarin, may our paths cross again someday." I said before heading off. POV Thunderlane As I watched the earth pony leave I could help but feel if he would find anything but my eyes started to wander over to his ass. "You like what you see?" wispered Soarin. Looked over at his, my eyes widening and blush growing. "I-I-I wasn't..." He simply smiled at and placed a hoof on my shoulder. "Don't worry, you weren't the only one." It only made me blush harder but it made me relax a bit. But something was bothering me about what he said, the fact that a strange voice told him to come to Ponyville, what if its the same voice that was talking to me when I got my cutie mark? "The time is almost upon us Thunderlane. The day were we will change Equestria." My whole body went completely rigged with fright as I clearly recognized the voice as being the same one from when I was a colt. "You ok Lane?" asked Soarin. "Yeah I'm just feeling a bit light-headed is all. See you later?" "Sure thing." he replied giving me a peck on the cheek before flying off. As I started walking home, I began to wonder why an earth pony was the only other one to hear that voice and also why did the voice tell him to come here to Ponyville? I don't know and thinking about it isn't going to make it clearer. The only way I was going to find out was whenever the time came. POV Logan As I was munching away on an oat burger I started thinking about that pegasus Thunderlane. I had been feeling this wierd feelng when I was talking to him but maybe it was just my nerves, the fact that I had met one of the Wonderbolts in person had been quite exciting. But I felt like I would most likely be seeing more of Thunderlane and Soarin during my search. "Yes you will Logan, yes you will." The oat burger fell from my hooves as my whole body went rigged. I glanced around for the source of that voice but there was nopony in sight. 'Fuck, I needed to find out who or what this voice is and discover what connection they have to the storms. ' > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rain. It was raining hard and I was the only one out in it. As I walked down the streets of Ponyville I saw that I was indeed the only one out in the rain. But as I neared town hall I saw that there was one other pony that decided to be out in the rain. Sitting on a bench was Thunderlane who's mane was soaked and hanging over the left side of his face. Deciding that I wasn't going to uncover the cause of these storms alone, I walked over and sat down next to him. "Hey there,nice to see you again mister?" "Logan. And its good to see you again Thunderlane. What brings you outside on this stormy day?" "Well I've enjoyed rainstorms for quite some time now and the storm is pretty similar to the one when I got my cutie mark. Might I ask what brings you out here?" "Like I'm said yesterday, I trying to find any clues behind these storms and see what makes them so random, and if they're being created, than by who? That and I enjoy being outside in a good rainstorm." I replied before closing my eyes and staring up at the sky, letting the rain drops splash on my face. "How did you and Soarin become friends?" I asked, looking back at him. "Well I met him at the Wonderbolt Academy and we're...actually...umm seeing each other right now." I smiled and gave the blushing stallion a pat on the back. "Well that's nice to hear." "But aren't you going to...?" "Call you a dirty coltcuddling freak? Why would I? It'd be a bit hypocritical of me wouldn't it?" "Wait does that me that your...?" he asked, a dark crimson blush on his face. "A coltcuddler and I'm proud to be one. Don't let those homophobic assholes bring you down and I wish the best for the two of you." I told him before trotting off. "See you later Thunderlane." As I left I couldn't help but think how hot Thunderlane looked with that blush on his face.
