Achievement Hunter in Equestria: JT Hailstorm Edition

After Ray was told what to do, he still had to master flying in order to pass as the Captain of the Wonderbolts. He still couldn’t believe he could walk on cloud but he did replace a pegasus after all. As he sat in the office using the stamp to approve various documents and so on. Being captain isn’t as fun as he thought but it’s better than actually flying.

Finally after hours of reading documents and approving or disapproving them he had some time to look over all of those papers Apple Bloom gave him. Sure he’s played plenty of games but coding them is a different thing and he’s not familiar with it at all. As he read over it he discovered this wasn’t code, it was a spell, now it made sense. Then there was a knock on his door so he quickly put the papers away in the desk.

“You may enter.” Ray said. He hoped that’s what they say in the military or at least what they say in the Wonderbolts. The door opened and Soarin’ stepped through.

“Captain are we going to practice today or what?” Soarin’ asked. Ray had to think of something that wouldn’t give him away.

“Uh…yeah I’ll be out in a few. Just got to finish up a few things.” Ray said.

“Okay whatever you say.” Soarin’ said. He walked out and Ray looked around for some kind of guide on flight formations, or some plans, something…anything to help him. Finally he gave up went into the locker rooms and changed into a flight suit. Before heading out he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror.

“Spitfire you look good in this.” Ray said. Then out of the shadows Rainbow Dash appeared. “Rainbow? I thought you were back in Ponyville.”

“I decided to help you. It’s better than listening to your dumb friend.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Gavin’s annoying you that much.” Ray said.

“Pretty much.” Rainbow Dash said.

“So you’re going to help me huh?” Ray asked.

“Yeah, so hopefully you gained all of her abilities as a skilled flier. You probably have her speed but all of that isn’t going to be enough if you don’t know any of their flight patterns. That’s where I can help out.” Rainbow Dash said.

“How are you going to help me learn something before they wonder what happened to me?” Ray asked.

“Easy.” Rainbow Dash said. She pulled a marker out of her saddlebag then started to draw on the mirror Ray was looking at. All of the intricate patterns all filled Ray’s mind as he learned every pattern. “Since you are the captain you take the center of the formation and call all of the shots.”

“Seems easy enough.” Ray said.

“Actually…you know what? Never mind…just remember you are not you, you are representing Spitfire.” Rainbow Dash said. There was door that opened and Dash erased all of the stuff on the mirror. “I must go now.” She went back into the shadows and was gone.

“We really need to light up the rest of the locker room.” Ray said.

“Captain, you in here?” Fleetfoot asked.

“Yeah.” Ray said. Fleetfoot walked in and looked around.

“Did you approve us to fix the locker room up cause that dark spot is kinda weird. It feels like somepony is watching us in here.” Fleetfoot said. That kind of explained why Rainbow Dash was in the shadows.

“I’m pretty sure I did.” Ray said. He thought about it for awhile and he’s pretty sure he signed off on that. “Well let’s go and fly.” Both he and Fleetfoot walked out of the locker room and went to the runway. As they got there Soarin’ was waiting patiently.

“Took you long enough.” Soarin’ sneered.

“Shut it. Let’s get going.” Ray said.

“As you command.” Soarin’ said. The three of them practiced their routine, and Ray was able to keep everypony in line. It was easy. Then he lost control on a loop and took the whole team down. As he lay on the ground he noticed his right wing was messed up. There were medics running over to them and before he closed his eyes he noticed a certain rainbow maned pony in the distance.

“Fuckin’ Dash…” Ray said. Then before he lost consciousness he noticed she changed into a human that looked like Ryan. Just as quickly as that happened Ray lost consciousness. Ryan then disappeared with the snap of his fingers.
