Zap And Screecher
Chapter 2: The Training Begins.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Zap hopped out from the portal Screecher popped out as well but landed on the back of Zap's neck causing him to cringe before flicking him off with his wing as he gazed around the area noticing some training dummies in a shape of one of the smaller primal and a few of the larger ones. There was a weird looking pad that had the same lightning symbol in the middle and further beyond was a racetrack. Zap looked around in awe, now seeing how his father trained as he heard a beeping noise coming from his left hoof, as he raised it, staring at it before pushing a small red button as Tinker's voice could be heard from the speaker.
"Hey Zap, this is a Trans-communicator it will allow us to speak from far away. Also I installed a camera on it to view your surroundings, just in case you get confused about something important."
The transmission ended as Screecher got up dusting himself off with a groan before hopping back on Zap's back. Zap slowly walked towards one of the smaller dummies as another transmission could be heard but this time it was his uncle.
"Listen up my boy, now I may not be a lightning warrior like your father. But, I've been watching and studying his abilities and attacks he preformed at your age. One of his moves was a lightning kick. It sends an enemy flying while being electrocuted. Now close your eyes focus your energy that surges through your veins towards your hind legs. And kick the day lights out of it."
Transmission ended as Zap lets out a quiet sigh before slowly closing his eyes, concentrating. His hind legs slowly started surging before it started glowing as his hind legs were slowly being wrapped around with pure electricity. He turned around having his flank facing the dummy before as he bucked it causing it to take off while being electrocuted as the dummy quickly began turning into dust.
"And it’s good!!"
Screecher said as Zap rolled his eyes with a faint smile before bucking the rest of the remaining small dummies, as he trotted towards the larger ones. Another transmission came from his uncle.
"I sure hope you're an excellent at ballet because this next move requires spinning! This next move is called The Surging Tornado; use this ability if surrounded by primal minions. I'll explain about those once your training is complete."
Zap nodded before standing on his hind legs, concentrating again having his surge of energy formed around him as Screecher hopped off him. Zap quickly spun around forming a light blue tornado as he spun towards the large dummy turning it into a pile of ash as doing the same towards the other fewer dummies. After a short period of time he manages to stop himself as he collapsed on his back, extremely dizzy from all that spinning. Screecher walked over towards him before letting out a chuckle.
"Gees Zap, if you’re THAT good at spinning. You should have auditioned for The Nutcracker."
Zap shook his head as he frowned at him rolling his eyes before getting back up on four hooves. As they walked towards the pad, another transmission came from his uncle.
"Those small pads you see are called Lightning pads. It’s only for the lightning warriors that are an earth pony, unicorns if their magic is drained, or a pegasus that happens to have a sore wing. Focus your surge of energy while standing on it to activate it, it will send you up to high places."
Zap stood on it focusing his energy again as the pad started glowing before instantly sending Zap high in the sky. Screecher had gotten startle shaking his head.
"W-Whoa! That's quite a boost it gave you!"
He said Zap was falling towards the ground before he quickly flapped his wings, hovering in midair landing beside Screecher. They head towards the racetrack stopping half way as they spotted a dark blue rock shaped like a crystal.
"Whoa! That's a lovely crystal."
He walked towards it and stood on his hind legs, picking it up nearly out a balance due to it being quite heavy.
"I bet this would be worth a fortune!"
Zap rolled his eyes, as they resume trotting towards the tracks. Once they reached it they noticed a few obstacles were placed in the tracks as another transmission from his uncle began.
"Now before your training ends, the one most important thing about a lighting warrior is speed. You must be fast enough to fly through Magma Canyon before you’re the percentage of your ice shield drops to zero or you'll both be fried. Complete this course under a minute and your training is complete."
Zaps’ uncle said Screecher hopped off from his back, walked a few inches away from him before he picked up a stop watch.
"Alright on your marks."
Zap gets in position.
"Get set. FLY!"
He starts the stopwatch as Zap quickly zoomed off passing through each obstacle, managing to complete a lap in under fifth-teen seconds. After a bit, he managed to complete the course, he quickly stopped before landing on the starting line as he was panting heavily. Screecher looked at the stop watch.
"Forty-five seconds, not bad Zap!"
He tossed the stop watch away as if it was junk before picking up the large blue crystal as he attempted to fly with his wings only to fly long enough to land on Zap's back, as he flew back to the portal in a few seconds before they jumped through the portal.
