Turbine: Our Fellow Wind Stallion
Chapter 1
Load Full StoryNext ChapterYou know the meaning and moral behind wars, good vs. evil, the conflict of two sides over a certain cause, hit or miss, fight to win. War, like many things, will stay with you the rest of your life. It always stayed with me, it stayed with my platoon members, and it even stayed with veterans in my family who haven't even been in service for years. Now you may be wondering, why am I telling you this and what might you gain from learning this? Well son, sit down, I got quite the story to tell you. The Discord and Celestial war, the empire for Equestria was falling apart. Discord was at the lead of the war and our Equestrian nation was in it's last leg. Financial issues, loss of important resources, and loss of stallions fighting for victory. A tragedy everypony thought would be the apocalypse. I can't blame them honestly, there were many ponies captured from their homes and sent to camps where they would all be murdered, the death toll would be in the millions at such camps. I escaped Manhattan and joined the celestial army after finding out the news.
"Whoa whoa! Slow down! You said your name is?" I reply slowing down my pace after quickly running towards the recruiter. "T-Turbine Sir!" He then writes down my name. "Oh alright, wait by the bench over there. You're going to be waiting for a bus." He hands me a ticket which has a number on it."Do not forget your bus number." He tells me sternly. I walk over to the bench and sit down with my bag hoping I have escaped Discord's officers which patrol the cities night and day. Before I realize I see the number on the first bus and it turns out to be the same number on my ticket, the bus starts to drive away. I run after it and call out. "Wait! Stop this is my bus! Stop!". The bus stops and the doors slide open. The bus driver scolds me but I ignore him. I go down the aisle and the recruits reject me from sitting next to them. The nerve they had. I find a seat in the back of the bus that's empty and I remain silent until I arrive to my destination. The bus stops in front of what a military base. The doors to the bus slide open and I see a drill sergeant walk up in the bus and order us. "All of you are going to get out of the bus in a safe but quick speed and form a single row outside, is that clear!?" All the recruits say "Yes Ma'am!". I remain quiet, since I do not understand what i'm doing other than exiting the bus. The recruits move out of the bus, I hear the drill sergeant rushing them "Hurry up! We are not on your time schedule!" once I approach the door of the bus I move out of it quickly and get in the row of recruits that are standing in attention, I imitate the stance after noticing. "You know why you all are here right?" She looks over at one of the recruits who were shivering "Right?!" he stammers and urges a response from himself "Y-yes m-ma'am!". She walks over to me, my heart starts to pound from the nervousness "How about you?" I reply with all the confidence I have left in me "Yes ma'am! I'm here to kill discords troops for our wonderful nation!" "Oh is that so, is that what all the rest are you here for?" they respond "Yes ma'am!" she then looks over to me again "Ooh you look pretty stocky for a recruit." I blush and try hard to respond. "T-thank you ma'am." "Oh come on, stocky stallion like you can sound off!" I repeat myself louder. "Thank you ma'am!" She then goes back to walking across the row of recruits. "You all better watch out, this recruit might just out perform all of you in scores." I sense the anger in the other recruits after that remark and regret it being said. She checks her watch. "Looks like it's time for you to get your little tour of your new home." Boot camp the place that tells you whether you're ready to overcome the hard work to become a celestial soldier or be one of the stepping stools for Discord. We walk through the many buildings in our tour, for example the mess hall, the yard which is where obstacle courses are, the rifle range, and then at the end of our tour we are sent to our barracks. "These are your barracks, recruits! I do not want to see any of you out of your barracks when it is time for you to sleep. If I see any of you out of the barracks i'll be seeing you on your face giving me push ups! Is that clear?!" All recruits including me respond "Yes ma'am!" after her orders she walks toward me, looks around to see if anypony is listening and then says "I'll be seeing you tonight..." she walks away with a smile she tries to hide, is she having a crush on me? A recruit? Why? What does she see in me? I'm no different from the other recruits here. I find my bunk and put my bag under it. While i'm putting the bag under my bunk I see that a lot of the recruits have surrounded my area and start asking me questions with angry looks in their faces. "You think you're better than me you little shit? huh?" "What makes you think you can out perform our scores?" I ignore their questions and finish preparing my bunk. I see the drill sergeant walk in the room and command us all in attention by our bunks, the group of recruits run back to their spots. "What's all this commotion Turbine?!" I reply. "I do not know ma'am!" She then acts concerned. "Don't think i'm stupid Turbine, I saw that crowd of recruits by your bunk!" "I was simply unpacking and preparing my bunk following your issued order ma'am!" She then walks over to the side of the barracks where the group of recruits remain in attention. "How about all of you then?! What are all of you doing next to Turbine's bunk?" None of them respond. "I ordered all of you to prepare your bunks, not jerk around! Get your bunks ready and once they are head to the mess hall, it's lunchtime!". I walk out of the barracks and go to the mess hall. I find a stack of trays and a counter which food is being served at. I take a tray and walk down the counter with the tray. I order my food and try to find a table to sit at, which with no surprise to me nopony lets me sit next to them. I pick a table that is empty and start to eat my food. Tomato soup with a piece of bread and pudding for desert. I notice one of the recruits from the group walk up, finally a pony to talk to. I see him take my pudding and walk away with it back to his table. No, I can't just let him do that. "Hey, excuse me sir. That was my pudding that you took." He then smiles and says "You sure? You sure it isn't mine?" I reply annoyed "Yes, i'm sure." He then says "Get your own bitch." then laughs with his friends at the table. I grab the pudding out of his hoof and punch it in your mouth causing him to choke on it and have to spit it out on his tray. I then say "Very well, enjoy the pudding." and walk away back into the barracks.
