The Super Avatar of Equestria
Chapter 18
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Jinkan, where are we going?” I ask the mysterious man that was flying the helicopter for the eighth time this week.
“Somewhere safe so that I can train, and teach you.” He replies like he did the last few times.
We were in his helicopter traveling across a forested area. We had left my home behind a month ago, and we were now over what he called ‘home.’ All it was to my eyes was a giant forest of nothing, but my father’s rules were fresh in my head as I looked over the expanse of endless green.
The helicopter was solar powered, and could hold enough charge in the dark to fly for a few hours before needing to land and wait for the sun. It was slightly quieter than a regular helicopter, but was also faster because of its side props. Jinkan’s helicopter looked like a regular troop transport with two short wings that had props on them, as well as the main rotor overhead.
We were flying at about sixty miles per hour, and were heading to what looked like a clearing.
“We’re almost there little wolf.” Jinkan tells me over radio, “Just wait for us to land, and we’ll get you situated for the night. We’ll start training in three days.” He says as the chopper hovers over a landing pad.
He touched down rather smoothly, and powered down the rotors.
The main rotor was now using its momentum to charge the battery, as the other two props just spun to a stop, and then wobbled a bit as the friction became too much for them to turn.
I moved out of the aerial vehicle when Jinkan did so that I was safe.
The main rotor came to a stop and Jinkan helped me with my few bags that I had. I was carrying everything my father and mother had given me, as long as all of my past presents from my family.
Jinkan didn’t argue about anything I brought along with me, as I was only ten. I had known Jinkan from the past during a few of Dad’s birthdays, and he always seemed like a kind man. I trusted him almost as much as I trusted my Dad.
Jinkan was like my father’s brother in a sense. He was very similar, yet different. So he had earned my trust, though with a very hard earned task.
“Little Wolf, where do you prefer to sleep?” Jinkan asks me. I blink a few times. That wasn’t something I thought was important.
“I don’t have preferences. I came prepared for anything.” I reply with a stern nod. He laughs a bit.
“Just like Wolf.” Jinkan says with a chuckle. I never knew why he called me ‘Little Wolf’, or why he called Dad ‘Wolf.’
“Come, you’ll find a room soon enough. Just remember there isn’t an internet connection here.” Jinkan says as we enter the building.
He helped me settle, and kept me company through nightmares that came with my parents…
Today was the day Jinkan was to teach me how to drive. It has been a year since I’ve been with him, and I have already learned how to survive from scratch in multiple scenarios.
I could hold my own against him in a fight, and come out on top with few bruises.
“Little Wolf, are you coming?” Jinkan asks me.
“Yeah, just thinking.” I reply before I caught up to him. Jinkan and I are still in the forested area that I now know as Yellow Stone. Yeah, we live in a secret abandoned army base in Yellow Stone national park. No satellite can find us, and all radio, and any other communications were cut off by something that the park emitted. It was only in this area of the park, but for some reason, that I have yet to ask Jinkan about, this area is like a shield to the outside world.
We were going under the base to teach me how to drive. Yeah, this place was made to last. I wasn’t going to learn how to drive on the road. No I was going to learn how to drive.
Jinkan told me that the best fight is one you don’t have to fight, and that usually meant that you either talk the other party out of it, or you ran away. He’s teaching me the second one first.
“Alright Little Wolf…” Jinkan says as we near an underground race track/ obstacle course.
“Take your pick.” He tells me as he opens up a garage door. It had cars of every make and model inside. I was familiar with most of them since there were regular vehicles as well as super cars.
“I just get to choose?” I ask him. He nodded.
“Just remember, once you choose one you will be responsible for it. I will teach you how to take care of the car, but it is up to you to keep it running.” He tells me.
“Okay.” I say as I walk into the garage, and look over the cars. There was an AE86 next to a Supra, and it was a pure black color. Next to the Supra was an old Corvette Stingray. Next to that was a foreign Pagani Zonda R with a custom wing. I would list off more, but basically you could find every car that was made in this garage. And only one had my eye.
I was looking at a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and I had my mind setting paint on it, and had ideas running through my head.
I put my hand on the roof of the Eclipse.
“This one.” I say as I look inside.
“Are you sure Little Wolf? You don’t want something faster, or newer?” Jinkan asks me with an eyebrow raised.
“I know the most about this car, and it is perfect for me. It has speed if I need it, and has control that I want.” I tell him as I open the door. He takes a key out of his pocket, and tosses it at me. I catch it without hesitation, and look at it. It had a wolf’s head that was howling with the key from its snout.
“I trust you know how to start your car?” Jinkan asks me. I rose an eyebrow at him.
He doesn’t know that I have at least twenty hours in a driving simulator, so I knew how to drive to a point. I just waved him into the car, and he does so without a question.
I got into the driver seat, and pulled the seat forward. I quickly familiarized myself with the peddles, and shifter before I grinned. I pushed the clutch in, and the brake while turning the key. The car roars to life, and I put it into gear. I pull the car out into the track, and stop, putting the car into neutral with the handbrake on.
“Okay, so you know the basics, but can you race?” he asks me.
“Against you? No, but a time trial I might be able to do.” I tell him. Ho nods, and points to the track.
“Let’s see.” He tells me. I smile, and put the car in gear. I start down the track a reasonable pace, until I got around the corner, and then I gunned it.
Jinkan laughs as I tear around corners with little difficulty, and then grunts when I bumped the wall on one turn.
“Oh, that’s going to take a few hours to fix.” I say as I continue down the track.
He taught me how to race, and drift in a car, as well as how to fix any manner of machine…
“Little wolf, it’s time to move on to the next location.” Jinkan tells me on the third year of me living with him. I had grown quite a bit with the exercise regiment he had us on. I was physically fit, and could work. I was able to do mostly everything he could, but I still had the pain from my parents.
“Next location? I thought we were staying here for another year.” I say as I walk up to him.
“We were, but I just got Intel saying this base is compromised. Are your modifications on your car complete?” he asks me. I nod.
“Yes, I finished them last night.” I say as he leads me to the garage again.
“Will it work?” he asks me.
“Yes, it has a ninety eight percent chance of perfect function.” I tell him.
“You remember the last time you said that.” He says as I throw the door to the garage open.
“Yes, but this time I have it. It should work, and it is doesn’t I can always drive while you fly.” I tell him as I walk right up to my Eclipse, and pull it out into the escape tunnel.
“Just make sure it works. I already have everything packed.” He tells me.
“Wait you mean we’re leaving now?” I ask him.
“Yes, I said this base is compromised. We have to leave now.” He says as he throws my bags into the back seats of my car.
“You’re not bringing anything?” I ask as he threw all of my belongings in.
“I have everything I need at the next base, now drive.” He tells me. I shrug, and get in starting the car.
“You did open the door at the end of this thing right?” I ask as I start down the tunnel.
“Yes, just go!” he replies.
“Alright, hold on.” I say as I open the throttle half way. My car’s engine roars in its tuner scream, and I reach over one hundred miles per hour easily.
My car could now go two hundred and ten miles per hour, but it loses control so I usually kept her running at one twenty just in case.
I hear alarms go off in the base behind us. I push the throttle the rest of the way down, and exceed the speedometer on the car. I hear the turbochargers in the engine kick in gear, and the motor roars even more.
I see a fireball at the back of the tunnel, and I laugh.
“You think this is funny?” Jinkan asks.
“No, just cliché. I mean come on, how do you think this is going to end?” I ask him.
“With you laughing as we burn to death.” He scolds. I just sigh, and flip a cover off of a button on the dash.
“Push it if you think we’ll die.” I tell him as the explosion slowly creeps up on my car. My car was maxed in its speed, and I couldn’t make it go faster, but the tail wind the explosion was giving me was helping a lot. We were probably tearing down the tunnel at two hundred and thirty miles per hour.
“To hell with the tunnel, let’s go.” I say as I press the button on the dash as the flames of the explosion were licking my car, and I was getting antsy.
The rear wing of the car extends out to twice its width, and front wings slide out of their panels.
I hear the mechanical whirls as turbines start to spin, and I smile as my steering wheel moves into the dash, and a yolk is put in its place.
I remove my feet from the peddles, and they change out with different ones for flight controls. A new throttle control comes up out of the center console, and I push it forward.
I hear the after burners in the turbines start, and my car rockets forward.
“So you prove me wrong, but how much fuel did you put in the tanks?” Jinkan asks me.
“Enough to get us to japan.” I reply as we soar out of the tunnel, and I pull up into the sky with my flying car.
I smiled as I hear the wheels get tucked into the chassis, and panels slip over the holes left by the fenders. Jinkan smiles, but then looks behind us.
“You better have remembered to add guns to this ole girl.” He tells me. I look in the rear view to see fighter jets following us.
“Please, who needs guns when you got speed and agility?” I ask as I activate the after burners again, and do a loop. My car’s nose turns into a point as it readies to break the sound barrier.
“How fast can she go?” Jinkan asks me.
“About four… maybe five.” I say as a mach cone forms over the car.
“Four, five what?” He asks.
“It might be able to go mach four or five. I’m not sure.” I tell him.
“Is that why it wouldn’t work?” he asks me with a laugh.
“Yup, I was thinking ahead like you taught me.” I tell him. He jumps at the sonic boom, and I laugh as the car speeds up even more.
I look in the rear view to see that the jets were falling behind us.
We escaped that time, but it was not long lived…
“AHH!!” I hear Jinkan scream. I was running to him with my sword in hand, and my revolver in the other. I round the corner to see Jinkan had a bullet wound.
“Mist, go, run!” he tells me, “Get to the car, and GO!” he yells at me before his head explodes.
This happened only ten days after we left the base, and we were in between checkpoints…
I ran down the hall to the garage that the building had. We never unloaded the car from the base, and I was happy that we didn’t.
I got to the garage, and into my car. I didn’t have any jet fuel left, so I had to move.
I jumped into the car, and started it up. I peeled out of the garage, and out onto a dirt road. I was being chased, but I didn’t care. I was alone again, and I was leaving again. I opened the glove box, and pulled out the detonator that Jinkan gave me.
As soon as I hit asphalt I clicked the button on the detonator, and threw it out the window.
I tear down the mountain roads as the bombs in the secondary base go off. We had at least five hundred pounds of explosives in each base, and I just blew one into the next world.
I drove until I was well on the other side of the continent, and then I cut/lost all ties like Jinkan had taught me to. I had to crush the car, and erase everything about me.
The only thing I knew is that Hawk had to die, but I could wait. I was still only thirteen. It didn’t take me long to have networks set up on him, and I knew his every move. I stayed three steps ahead of him no matter what. I stayed alone to keep everyone else safe. I had hundreds of aliases, and I never spoke my real name.
I had managed to disappear off of the planet, and I kept myself hidden. I followed my father’s rules, and I stayed safe. I was so close to killing Hawk, but the world ended before I moved to get him…
