Chapter 1- The journey begins

       Before they alerted the others about a threat among Equestria, a mysterious explosion occurs on the soiled earth. There were pieces of bomb parts on the ground, more than one was noticed by one of the team members.  Where did it come from? They wondered. Perhaps the bold was lit from further away or it was probably fired from a far off distance, none of them were sure. This bomb, the wonderbolts thought, was fired because that intruder would probably want to take over Equestria or another reason why they were plotting to threat Equestria in the first place.

     Spitfire and Soarin ran to every room, which their friends were in playing cards and having chats with each other. While each were having a great time, the two friends both in command pushed the door open causing a loud SLAM on to the door, scaring their teammates. "Guys, you have to hear me out. A Mysterious explosion has occurred in Equestria and the princesses think it is k major threat", Soarin grumbled to them urgently.

    "WHAT?! Why didn't you guys just tell us before, that way we would've known about the threat too", Surprise cried.

    "Let's go team", Spit cried holding her whistle with her mouth.

    "Look a letter from Princess Celestia", Wave told them.

Dear Wonderbolts,

                  It is I, Princess Celestia of Canterlot. You must come to Canterlot at once, I wanted to discuss the major explosion you just heard this morning. I'm afraid a distant country and an ally of ours, Saddle Arabia, has plotted to be the threat. My guards are certain that they are the ponies behind all of this. We don't know the reason why they are planning to bomb Equestria, but it is certainly a dangerous time t o be writing to you. I'm afraid you won't be doing this by yourselves, the elements of harmony will be on your side to help you on your long tiresome journey, you are certain to do this alone, but I'm afraid not. No complaints about what I had told you, the mane 6 are already here to meet you in Canterlot. That is all I can tell you.

                 Beware, the bomb you will see is completely harmful in your eye.

      Princess Celestia

               "Guys, let's go".

               "Okay we will, but let us get our belongings first before we go". They all gathered all their belongings and headed out afterwards. One of them struggled to carry, so Soarin ended up dropping everything on the ground because of carrying so much stuff. "It's so heavy", he cried complaining. "Hey Soar, let me help you", Fleetfoot offered.

"Hey thanks".

"No prob".

                     Spitfire then bellowed the others to keep moving with her hoof, they were really in a rush to get to Canterlot. While Soarin and Fleetfoot helped carry the others luggage. One of the members of the team didn't pack lightly, no wonder it took Soarin a lot of time to carry all of it. With a little help from Fleetfoot, he had no trouble carrying the suitcases. He was completely sweaty afterwards, but Spitfire decided to pet him take a break. Of course, guess who had to carry all the luggage, Fleetfoot. "Can we get somepony else to carry all this".

            "Sorry Fleet,  but you are pretty strong for a Pegasus", Fire Streak said shaking his head.

             "Am not".

             "Are too".

             "Am not".

                  Spitfire blew her whistle loudly at them and shouted", STOP, BOTH OF YOU!! You do realize that we have an important mission we need to do for the princess. We can't just stand like this and bicker with each other all day. Princess Celestia and the elements of harmony are already waiting for us. LET'S NOT WASTE TIME EVERY PONY, MOVE IT!!!" She blew her whistle at them again, trying to get her teammates attention. They saluted to tell her that they were paying close attention to her, of course Spitfire just smiled and they were on their way.

        "Where are the wonderbolts, Celestia?" Princess Twilight asked the alicorn princess with confusion. "Twilight, there is no need to worry. They're just late as they always are", Celestia replied as she rolled her eyes.  The other elements of harmony grew impatient with waiting for the wonderbolts to get to Canterlot. They walked around in circles, waiting impatiently in boredom for them to arrive. Celestia knew how the wonderbolts always acted when it comes to threats that harmed Equestria and its fellow citizens. They would argue about a little something on the way to any destination sometimes, causing them to lose track of time.

         "Ah, there you are Wonderbolts. I'm sure you received the letter I sent you". The wonderbolts nodded", Sorry your highness for being tardy, it's just that we a l ways waste our time when it comes to threats and emergencies in Equestria. But what you said is urgent", Spitfire said, bowing down on her hoofs.

           "I'm sure you know why you're all here.  I need to show you something, come with me to our castle library", Princess Luna insisted. She lead them to the West quarters of the castle, passing the Star Swirl wing and leading them to a locked door. She signaled  a guard to open the door for them. "Quite a sight, isn't it?" the princess of the night said happily.

              "Sister Tia, mind if you show them the book on Saddle Arabia?" Luna whispered to her sister. Celestia used her magic to locate the book from a very high shelf. The book had a fancy jeweled cover with the king' s seal imbedded on the cover. It seemed as if the book were 3,000 years old, way before alicorns came to rule Equestria. Celestia then opened the book and told the story.

             "Wonderbolts, as you can see. Equestria and Saddle Arabia were never enemies. One day, they requested us to give some of our valuable goods to them for trade. But we refused, the Arabians were so upset at what we responded to them. They told us, if we don't give away some of our goods in three days. The royal officers discussed with each other, but all of them agreed to refuse the Arabian' s request an--". Celestia was then cut off by Surprise.

                "Who were one of the royal officers?" Surprise asked interrupting the alicorn.

                "The wisest one of course was, Co-captain Thundershine, of the Wonderbolts". Celestia gulped while Surprise made a shocked expression.

             "WHAT?!"

            "Surprise, I'm not kidding".

            "I'm not laughing". The white alicorn shook her head", Well, it looks like you were".

            "Celestia and Surprise, calm down. This is no time for arguing".

                Rainbow was completely puzzled, who was Thundershine?Was she just an ordinary Pegasus or was she very important during ponydom?. She had so many questions to ask.  Still, Rainbow had to wait at the right moment to answer her question.

              "Princess Celestia, who is Thundershine? I didn't quite catch that?" Rainbow asked, raising an eye brow. She then patted her hooves on Soarin' sneak to get his attention.

                 "Hi Rainbow Dash, what is it?" Soarin questioned. Rainbow scratched her head nervously", Whose Thundershine?"

                 "Thundershine is my aunt. She was the original co-captain of the wonderbolts 6 years ago. When she heard of the threat Saddle Arabia was going to do, she immediately went there and tried to stop the plot. But she was eventually beaten and thrown in a dungeon all beaten and bled".Soarin cried out a tear after what he had just said.

                   "Soarin, I'm so sorry about your aunt. But when we get to Saddle Arabia, I'm sure you'll get to see her again".

                   "You sure".

                   "I'm sure".

          Celestia then lead them from the castle library, and into the next room. The next room wasn't much of a room, there were little book shelves, but a big round table. Celestia told the ponies it was the royal council room, but bigger then the one inside Twilight' s castle.

           "Everypony take a seat". So the ponies obeyed Princess Twilight and they all sat down."When we journey together to Saddle Arabia, all of us must stay together. We will be taking a ferry to Saddle Arabia, and the journey will take about 4 days".

        "Does everypony understand the importance of this task?" Everypony nodded and headed towards the exit, which a guard lead them out as they exited the royal conference room.10 minutes later, they took the train to Manehattan and boarded a big ferry that was headed for Saddle Arabia.
