The Story of Thunder Zap

Thunder Zap loved going fast, it was his thing. Thunder Zap is a 24 year old pegasus and lives in Colt Louis. He has a Yellow coat and golden eyes. His mane is black and cyan and his cutie mark is a cyan bolt of electricity, that cutie mark is the reason his mane is half black and half cyan. I'll get to that, but first I have to go over his family.

Thunder Zap's mom was very kind-hearted unicorn who had a special talent for lightning and electricity. She had a Yellow coat and a Black mane, just like Thunder Zap. Her name was Thunder Shock. Thunder's little brother was a unicorn protege who could use magic from a very young age, and by the time he was 3, he had a cutie mark in flying (his specialty was levitation) because he wanted to fly just like his dad, so his dream was to create a successful flight spell in which unicorns and earth ponies could float with out wings. His name was Rainbow Spark. Thunder Zap's father Rainbow Blaze, was a different story. Thunder Zap's dad was playful at first, but when Thunder turned 2, his dad started not coming home until it was past 10 p.m, sometimes he wouldn't show up until the next morning, sometimes, he would go days without seeing his father, but when Rainbow Blaze came home he was just angry all the time and just a flat out douche. One night, however, was different.

Rainbow Blaze came home and Thunder's mother confronted him. "How dare you!!!"

"What do you mean?!?" Rainbow Blaze replied with anger and curiosity.

"Oh don't give me that bull-shit, I know you've been "exploring" another mare behind my back!"

"Well at least she doesn't have a talentless son!" Thunder's father yelled back. Thunder know he was talking about him, he had a disability where he couldn't fly for more than 2 seconds.

"Fuck you!" Thunder's mother screamed at Rainbow Blaze as she walked over to Thunder Zap and Rainbow Spark's rooms. She got them and took them outside where she got a carriage.

"Where the hell are you going!?!" Rainbow Blaze screamed.

"Away from you!" Thunder's mother shouted back. The next thing Thunder knew, he heard lightning heading strait for his mother and his brother when he pushed them out of the way and he was struck and electricuted, but he wasn't fast enough to get his mother and his brother completely out of the way and they too were electricuted, instantly killing them both.

As soon as the lightning was gone, Thunder's mane went from all black, to half black and half cyan and he got his cutie mark which was a cyan bolt of elctricity. His father, thinking Thunder too was dead, fleed the scene to start a new life with his girlfriend, and never saw Thunder Zap ever again.

Thunder Zap awoke two hours later in a hosptial and the doctor said:

"Ah, you're awake, I am sorry to tell you this, but your family is dead." Thunder froze in silence. "since we cannot locate or contact your father, and your mother has no known relatives still alive, I'm afraid you'll have to go to an orphanage.

After 2 years of living in an orphanage, Thunder Zap had grown sick of the other children there who had mocked him almost th entire time he was there and the neglectant mare who ran the orphanage, so ran away, and officially went off the grid.

18 years later, Thunder Zap was living in Colt Louis, he had a job working as a basehoof coach. But he has a bigger resposibility when it comes to helping others, you see, when Thunder Zap was hit by that lightning, the electricity was absorbed by his mane due to genes left by his mom that made him immune to elctricity and fixed his wings, his mane turned cyan because his body wasn't used to being elctricuted so it needed something to transfer it to, that thing just so happened to be his mane. Thunder Zap's cutie mark represent's his immunity to elctricity and that he controls it, absorb it, and can even become any form of it including lightning, and with enough electricity absorbed he can fly faster than light easily. So if needed, he can save lives, stop cirtaindisastrs ore even crimes. Since the public knew that there was a hero amongst them, they decided to give the hero a name, so they decided on "Zap".

Now with that out of the way, our story begins here.
