Cutting Edge held his knives tightly before checking his armor quickly for any problems. His heart was pounding from the deed he had been trusted with, making sure that Otachi, Leatherback, Futs Lung(or Shenron as he liked to call himself for some stupid reason) and Garble didn't kill each other. The Officer armor he had just received was thicker than his Minor armor and orange in color but other than that was very similar. A blast of fire from outside prompted him to activate the armored mask and leap outside, checking for a threat. Instead, he saw Otachi(Acid Spray now he reminded himself) laughing as Futs Lung showed off a few fireballs.

"I'm sorry about the acid thing, I don't know much magic" Otachi said after Futs Lung turned to her.

"It's fine. We dragons heal quickly and I believe that it was just an accident now that I'm getting to know you" Futs Lung commented before returning to target practice. Cutting Edge couldn't believe what he was seeing. Maybe things could work out after all. His hopeful thoughts were ruined by the sound of a punch from Garble as the dragon leaped on top of Electro Wing. Electro retaliated with a close range shock to the drake before the two were pulled apart and knocked together by an angry Cutting Edge.

"Cool it! Get to know each other" Cutting Edge ordered while showing them his knife as a clear warning before going off again to pick up supplies. Of course, the two self-proclaimed alpha males wouldn't mix well. Both had egos that outweighed the Earth and it wasn't uncommon for someone to say that they'd rather put their tongue in an ant hill than talk to them. Cutting  checked the supplies and found that they had everything ready. "Alright, we're going to the mountain" Cutting announced before sheathing his knife and picking up their supplies.

"It would be unfortunate to have a rock slide" Garble growled, glaring at Electro Wing with malice.

"Would be even worse to be caught in a storm" Electro retorted with a grunt fueled by testosterone. They continued their little argument as they climbed the mountain, fraying the ears of the others in their party. Somewhat thankfully(for the ears of the party), Electro's prediction came true and they were forced into a small cave. Thankfully the dragons hibernated in the cold and so Cutting could talk to the ponies.

"Nice job Acid Spray, you're well on the route to becoming a model citizen" Cutting complimented to the unicorn, making her stand up and smirk in pride. "Electro on the other h-"  Cutting started before dodging a punch from Electro Wing.

"My name is Leatherback you misanthropic freak!" Leatherback screamed in fury.

"Well, you're a pony now and that's not going to change. Might as well get used to the name" Cutting said nonchalantly to the furious pegasus. "As I was saying, you and Garble have preformed terribly and are probably going to end up killing each other" Cutting said while ignoring Electro's furious stomps and snorts.

"AHA! You admit that it's the prick of a dragon's fault?" Electro screamed, bits of spittle clinging to Cutting's face. Cutting ignored the saliva and walked to the edge of the cave to check if the storm had ended. Acid smacked Electro over the head before curling up in a corner to go to sleep. "Are you mad at me?" Electro questioned the only creature he cared about.

"No, I'm sad. I know you can't help it but if you keep doing this, you'll be dead" Acid sniffed sadly in remembrance of her first lover, Trespasser. "Promise me you'll try to control yourself" Acid said firmly, holding her lover in a tight embrace. Electro hated Garble and he hated having to hold his tongue, but he loved Acid more than those two combined.

"Alright, I'll do my best for you" the pegasus promised, causing Acid to shift her body so Electro could snuggle in next to her. He did so gladly and began praying to himself that he could keep his promise before falling asleep. After what seemed like only a few minutes, he was woken up by a loud scraping noise. Opening his eyes, he saw Cutting lazily sharpening a knife against the rock wall.

"Rise and shine everybody, you've rested for 4 hours" Cutting said in a clipped military tone. The dragons crawled to their feet while revealing maws full of teeth as they yawned. Electro was less calm about the wake-up call.

"Quod in Infernum!?" Electro attempted to yell, but in his grogginess it came out more as a high-pitched squeak.

"I find it funny how yesterday, you were spitting homophobic slurs everywhere when judging by your voice, you're the gay one" Garble mocked before beginning to stretch his wings. Electro was tempted to break them off but a look from Acid made him stop, barely.

"No insults" Cutting said sternly before whacking the delinquent dragon with the butt of his knife. Garble snarled but ignored it before continuing his stretching. Acid's look was piercing but Electro's alpha instincts were stronger.

"Nice job you stupid lizard!" Electro yelled at the teen dragon, causing Acid to face-palm and Garble to chuckle.

"Cutting Edge, Electro Wing insulted me without provocation" the red dragon whined in an act that wouldn't have even fooled a child. Cutting knew perfectly well that Garble had started it but Electro needed to learn a little humility. It had nothing to do with getting revenge fore earlier days Cutting told himself mentally.

"Electro, give me 20 wing-ups" Cutting barked out before kicking the stunned pegasus to wake him up further.

"What?! He started it" Electro growled angrily as his wings began to strain after just 5 wing-ups.

"Tough luck, he reported first and you need to learn humility" Cutting said without a single bit of caring.

"And he doesn't?" Electro managed to gasp out as his lungs burned.

"He does but you're first on my list due to karma" Cutting said before finally giving the signal to let the exhausted Pegasus up. Electro felt like going back to sleep but judging by everyone's attitude, it seemed they were leaving. Electro moaned in self-pity as he saw the trek that awaited them. Why couldn't he have kept his mouth shut?
