Operation R: Rescue

Meanwhile, in the east side of Equestria, there laid a small village where accidents always happen in less than five minutes. But that doesn’t stop one Pegasus from doing his job, to protect the home he loves. A young Pegasus named Rotor Wing, former captain of the Wonder bolts, was soaring through the sky of his home. Studying his family and friends as he fly’s by.

“Man, wish something interesting happens. Not that anything does, but I wish I could be a better hero for my home,” He said as he flew on a cloud. He lies down and decided to watch the rest of the day fade off from there. That was the plan, until the sound of a scream from a local pony down on the ground woke Rotor up. Rotor looked from his cloud and saw a little filly calling for help. He flew down and landed near her side.

“Sir, you have to help me, please!” The filly said.

“What’s the problem little mare?’ Rotor asked. The filly was coughing and gasping air.

“There’s a fire that’s happening in the dry grain fields! If that fire doesn’t stop, we’ll have no food for me and my family!” The filly started to cry. Rotor formed a grin.

“No need to worry little filly, I’ll take care of it. Go to the village elder and tell him to dispatch some fire manes to the site, I’ll see if I can hold the fire off,” Rotor said. The filly smiled.

“Okay, hurry though, my family also trapped in the fire as well,” The filly announced. Rotor‘s eyes were shot open.

“You could’ve told me that first!” Rotor dashed off like a lightning bolt and headed off to the grain fields. He saw the site and it wasn’t pretty. The fires were blazing up each time they hit a new set of fields, and the heat from the fire was so hot you can’t even get close to it without burning up. Rotor flew around the fire and saw there was no way in. He then heard a faint cry from inside the blazing inferno of death.

“Help…somepony help us please!” Rotor took a closer look in the blaze and saw a mother, a father and a downed baby filly in the eye of the fire.

“Mother of Hasbro, how do I get them?” Rotor thought and looked around his surroundings and saw a small creak. The creak smelled and was buzzing with mosquitos. “Oh, I’m going to regret this!” Rotor flew into the creek and soaked himself in the water, three times.

“Help…cough…anypony out there? We’re trapped,” Rotor flew over them and shouted as loud as he could.

“Hey, just hang on tight! I’m coming in!” Rotor said. He closed his eyes and flew in the intense heat of the blaze. He felt the fire taking its result on him, but he wasn’t going to let these ponies die today! He saw the family and slammed down on the ground.

“Oh, thank Celestia…please, take our baby, she can’t survive in this heat!” The father said. Rotor took the filly in his hoofs.

“We send one of our others to the village, how is she?’ The mother asked.

“She’s alright, I told her to call in the fire manes to come in, but they better get here quick!” Rotor said. He placed the filly close to his chest. He looked at the couple who were still sitting in the ground and Rotor was wondering if they weren’t actually staying?!

“Aren’t you two going to grab on?” Rotor asked. The mother and father thought he was crazy.

“Young Pegasus…we…cough…can’t make it out of here. Take these filles to their grandmother in ponyville, please help them!” The mother begged. Rotor grit is teeth. He placed the filly on his back and tied him up with a rope he had in his pockets.

“I don’t care…grab on to my hoofs!” Rotor ordered. The mother and father grabbed on and held on for their lives. Rotor flapped his wings faster and harder than ever. He grunted his teeth and strained his muscles. He put everything he got in his wings and ascended in the air.

“Son…it’s too much for you, leave us behind!” The father said. But Rotor wasn’t bugging.

“I’m…not…leaving…you…to…DIE!” Rotor shouted. He prayed that something, anything, a miracle might happen. It must’ve worked, because as he was flying in the air, he felt a strong surge of power through his wings. He felt awesome, powerful, and stronger!

“Hey, boy…you’re doing great, just keep going!” The mother said. Rotor flapped his wings one more time and he flew faster than ever as he and the family flew out of the blazing inferno. The whole village, fire manes and ponies saw the event and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

“It’s Rotor, he’s saved them all! He did it, he did it!” One of the ponies said. The whole village clapped their hoofs in joy as Rotor placed the family carefully on the ground. The little filly from before ran up and hugged her folks, who she thought would lost. Rotor fell on the ground wheezing and coughing.

“Rotor, that was awesome!” The little filly said.She jump, embraced Rotor tightly hugging and kissing him.

“It’s no big deal…besides, there’s an old saying my family say’s, a true soldier never leaves a colt, or mare behind. We stand together,” Rotor said. The little filly’s eyes widen in amazement.

“Thank you son…you’re a real hero, the way how you saved us, you were so strong!” The father said and shook Rotor’s hoof. Rotor laughs a bit.

“Well, it’s not about how big, or strong, or how good looking you are, The real hero is based on the actions of his heart, and will do anything to save those who he loves, that’s a real hero,” Rotor said. The cameras were flashing and the ponies were now starting to ask questions. Rotor didn’t want to stay for long, so he spread his wings and flew off, into the setting sun, to seek out who needed help. One stallion looked and observed his actions and had Rotor’s information papers.

“He’s the one the princess wants. Report back what he had done,” The stallion said to a Pegasus scout.

“Yes sir,” The pegasus said and flew off. The stallion turned away and hopped on the nearby train to report back to the princess about what had happened here today.
