redbolt the shadowbolt

In the Shadowbolt's HQ, Redbolt flew around in circles, bored out of his wings.

"I wish the others would get back, it's so boring here. Maybe there's something to do in Ponyville."

He spread his wings and took off towards Ponyville

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright, what to do." Redbolt pondered. The sun beat down on his head as he began to sweat. "Maybe I should get something to drink."

He purchased a soda and was about to take a sip when he heard something behind him.

"Go mess with somepony else!" yelled an angry voice.

"Stop not showing me any respect!" screamed back a just as angry voice.

Redbolt turned to see an earth pony shoved to the ground by a unicorn. The unicorn then walked away in anger. The earth pony got up, but accidentally slammed into Redbolt, spilling his drink.

"Sorry," the colt said with some tears in his eyes, "I didn't mean to." He then ran off into the Everfree Forest. Redbolt thought about something, then flew off back to HQ, then into the Everfree.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wow," thought the earth colt as he walked through the Everfree, "I totally embarrassed myself in front of that pegasus. I bet he's hanging out with Starshot, that jerk."

Suddenly clouds of fog began to surround the pony.

"What's going on?!" he shouted.

He then saw the silhouette of a pegasus. He stepped out of the shadows, it was Rebolt in his Shadowbolt's outfit.

"Greetings. My name is Redbolt, captain of the Shadowbolt's. I saw what happened back in Ponyville."

"Oh really? What do you want?"

"You. I sense your anger. Your passion for vengeance. I want you to become a Shadowbolt!"

Quicksilver stared confusedly at Redbolt.

"Uh, you can see through those goggles right? I'm just an earth pony."

"Not for long." Redbolt hooves a small glass bottle filled with yellow liquid inside. Drink it, it gives you wings."

The colt eyed the bottle. He thought that maybe he was an escapee from the nuthouse. So he might as well drink it to humor him. He took the bottle and slowly swallowed the potion. At first he felt nothing.

"No surprise there." he thought. Then, his back started itching like crazy. Then intense pain shot through his spine. He screamed in pain as he toppled to the ground. Slowly, wings began to rip out of his back. The wings were caked with blood, as the pony staggered up.

"What's your name?" asked Redbolt.

"It was Quicksilver," panted the colt, "But now it's Quicksilver the Shadowbolt."
