Thundersky Origins

“My head, what happened?”, I
asked in a weird form of German-English due to my headache.

“So your Titan got destroyed, you and Sky Beat got cursed by an ancient dark magic spell and now you're a Pony”, I heard a familiar voice from a purple Alicorn answering.

“I am...WHAT?!”, looking down my body shocked by the fact, I nomore was an Pilot of the IMC fleet, now I was an desert colored Alicorn with grey-blue Mane and Tail.

“Where is Sky Beat and FN?”

“Im outside Pilot”, I heard a robotic voice answering in my head. I ran out of my room just to see a Grey-White-Golden Ronin Titan with “Thundersky” written onto the Cockpit standing in the Hallways of Canterlot Castle.

“New Chassis, I like it”, I said impressed by the new Titan and the fact that the Neural Link still worked.

“After my Old Chassis got destroyed, I thought a new one wouldn't look to worse.”, FN-6474 said,humorously.

”Ready to link to a Pony?”, I asked waiting for him to open his Cockpit.

”Everytime ready Pilot.”, he said in an instant.

As I tried to fly in with my new Wings, I flapped two times before falling down like a rock.

”Maybe you should take some Flying lessons with Rainbow Dash.”, Twilight said laughing,”And I will show how to switch between your Human and Pony form and how to use your magic as a Human.”

I could barely answer” Thanks, Twi”, before FN grabbed me and pulled me into his Cockpit which was kinda more space due to the fact that I was smaler.

As I looked around I saw my C7E with a Universal Launcher hanging on the Back Wall and my personal Smart Pistol in the Pistol compartment right of the Control Panels. Under the Left Control Panels I found a new Impulse Blade which I could throw with either my Wings or with my Magic.

"But now to my first Question, where is Sky Beat?”, I asked jumping out again my well known Work place in FN’s Cockpit.

“She is in another room.”, I heard from a Cyan Pegasus named Rainbow Dash, now standing next to Twilight.

As I followed them thru the hallways of the Castle I heard Twilight say something I couldn’t believe first.”You should know that Sky Beat will not be able to transform back to a Human. Celestia had only the Power to make one of you an Alicorn, We decided to make you an Alicorn, because of your Military Rank and what you did for Equestria.”

“You know that Sky Beat and I have the same Rank.”,I said disappointed.

“I know but it was her final decision.”, she said as we was standing in front of a yellow door,”she is still asleep, but her Armor and Weapons are in a Chest on the left side on the room.”

After Twilight finished Rainbow Dash began to speak:”There is something you should know too, Thunder Hoof is KIA.”

“Sorry to hear that, It was a good time fighting with him on my side.”, I said,shattered by his death.

”He was a good Soldier and a good Friend.”, the Pegasus said holding back the tears about her fallen comrade.

We shared a hug and both left in the way we came. I opened the door to Sky Beat’s room taking a short look at her then walked to the Chest and opened it looking a few seconds at her stuff before picking it up and brought it to FN mentioning him to help me embark. After I stored Sky Beat’s Clothes, I ask myself where my where. Because he knew what I was thinking FN responded:”Don’t worry Pilot you will have your clothes on when you turn back to human, Sgt.Smith and Rarity upgraded your armor whilst you was asleep.”

“Maybe I should thank her later, but first i’l contact the Malta.”, I said whilst activating FN’s Comlink. “This is Firebird 6-4 on all IMC channels.”, I said waiting for an answer.

“Sky is that you?”, I became as a response by a well known voice of a spanish Medic,”It’s sooo good to hear your voice again, where are you now?”

“Canterlot”, I said,”Better Question is where the buck you are!”

Juarez waited a few seconds before responding:”We're back on Harmony refueling and picking up some Material, We're back in probably 2 days. You should wait until Sky Beat wakes up and move with her to Ponyville.”

“Thanks for everything you did.”, I said before shutting down the Link.

“Commander Thundersky!”, a Royal Guard said, running towards. As he stopped right infront of me he Saluted and said:”Your Highness, Princess Twilight want’s you to meet her at the Train Station.”

“Noticed, and please don't call me your Highness.”, I said whilst beginning the way to the exit of the castle.

As I arrived at the Train Station, I saw Twilight and her friends waiting for Train. As well as a blue Pegasus with a Note as her Cutie Mark. I thought her Cutie Mark would look similar to my Cutie Mark but a Music Mark fitted too. The rest of the time waiting for the Train and FN to be loaded in an automated Carrier, I spent talking with Sky Beat about the last two weeks. On the Train ride which took over 3 hours I talked with the others over our future in Ponyville. Sky Beat will live in Twilight's Castle and I will live in a High Security Lab working on projects for the IMC.

As we arrived in Ponyville, Twilight showed us where her friends work and live and then brought us to her Castle. Twilight showed me my room where I would live the next few days, whilst Starlight showed her her floor. They would become good friends, I thought by myself. As Twilight walked out of my room I sat down thinking about the Future. What will it bring, Will the Frontier Command find this Planet? The Frontier Command was a new threat in the Universe which tries to capture Planets who stand under the support of either the IMC or the Militia. I pushed these thoughts aside, and laid down to sleep.

The next two days I slept. As the Malta arrived I helped building my new House, which was a normal House if you let out the 7 Meter high Side Door and the fact that it has 20 centimeters thick Steel-Concrete walls.

After a month full of experiments and magic practice I knew how to switch between both forms in under a second, and how to use my magic as a human or as a melee range attack which was kinda like a shock wave fired from the palm. As well I could fly better and walk like a normal Pony. The life in Ponyville was now normal for me, as well as for FN.

One day as I sat in my bed at home working on a report for a Virus produced by the Frontier Command as Twilight stormed in my room.

“SKY, Fluttershy she...she's dieing!”, Twilight said out of breath, almost crying.

As I thought a second I asked Twilight:”What are her symptoms?”

“She's coughing and sweating”, Twilight said calming down,”also she has an Irregular Heartbeat, the Doctor gives her only 1 hour left to live”

“I know what that is and that the Griffons have an Antivirus, but I don't think they would give us that. So you know what that means.”, I said knowing that Twilight knows what I mean.

“Is the Hard way really the right one?”, Twilight asked.

“If you want to rescue Fluttershy as well as I do, it is.”, I said, expecting her to activate it.

Twilight sighted before she said:”As a Princess of Equestria I activate Team Rainbow.”

“Thanks Twi, go back to Fluttershy I will be back in 40 minutes.”, I said running out of my room to the Armory.”This is Firebird 6-4 as now acting Commander of Team Rainbow for all Unites. Meeting in 10 minutes in Ponyville HQ.”, I shouted in my Headset.

Exactly 10 minutes later the whole Team sat down on a round table in Ponyville HQ. Consisting of 2 Soldiers of the Royal Guard known as Shining Armor and Flash Sentry, as well as four Militia Seals and four IMC Sentinels.

“Our Mission is to recover an Anti virus from a Griffon laboratory to save a close friend of mine and Princess Twilight.”, I said whilst pointing on a spot on a Holographic Map. “We will enter here, work us through the Guards to capture the Anti virus and hack the main server. We have to be undetected, so Silencers, Knifes and Flashbangs, as well as night vision goggles. Get your stuff and move to the Helipad. MOVE IT.”, I said whilst shutting down the holotable and taking my way to the Goblin waiting for takeoff.

After a flight of 5 minutes we entered Griffon territory. As we flew over the area I couldn't spot any Guards which gave me a unwell feeling. As we took our way to the side wall of the main building to enter via the Windows, a bad feeling confirmed itself as Glaz said:”Sir, in there aren't just Griffons, there are Humans as well.”

“What Patch?”, I asked the Russian
Sniper.

"I think you know what it says comrade.”, I became as an answer.

“Forget what I said about Quiet we're breaching right now.”, I said whilst turning on to another channel. “Thatcher make them blind.”, I said to the Militia soldier.

“Lights out, make your entrance”, I became as answer.

Whilst placing a breach charge in my underbarrel launcher I whispered:”This is for Fluttershy.”, In a secondary Voice Channel, knowing that Twilight and the others are observing my Camera feed and Voice Chat.

I mentioned everypony to get cover whilst firing a breach charge in the wall just to cover me when I go crazy in there. After a short delay the wall bursted into a million pieces just to give me a way in. After a few steps the smoke thinned, just to reveal the position of eight enemies and three hostages.

The first four got shred by bursts out of my AR. The fifth one tried to charge me with a knife, just to get stopped a few inches before his target and get his own weapon used against him. The sixth got hit by a Wall Run-Slide combo, only to get used as an organic shield. After throwing the dead soldier against his comrade to give me the opportunity to get cloaked, only to get near him to execute him with a punch to the face and a transformation into my Pony form, just to give him a finishing kick to the side of his skull. Before having the opportunity to turn around to give the last one a taste of a magic blast he grabbed one of the Griffon Scientists to stop me in my bloody rage.

”Don't step near me, or I kill him.”, the Frontier Command Grunt said.

I trotted over to the other two Griffons to cut their ties as I heard a loud Boom and a fizzle coming from a .308 Magnum Round fired from Glazes M200 Ballista Railgun.

After I cut the ties I asked them:”Are you alright.”

“We're independent Scientists, p-p-please don't hurt us.”, one of them said.

“Where do you store the Anti-Virus for Bravo OT4G?”, I asked one of the Scientists.

”Second minus floor the last room, take it but please, don't hurt us.”, he said moving a few steps back, afraid of Shining armor who was now standing next to me.

“Go to the extraction zone, I will be there in 1 minute", I said running down the stairs to the second minus floor.

After a minute I got back to the Goblin landing ship whispering in my microphone:”Don't worry Twilight where coming home.”

After a turbulent flight we landed in the front yard of the Ponyville Hospital. I opened the side door whilst explaining to Doc our field medic how to use the Anti Virus.
As Doc exited the Goblin and got on his way, Twilight yelling against the noise of the engines:”Thanks what you did in Griffon Stone for me, Fluttershy would be happy to see you.”

“I know but there's another thing I have to get on.”, I could barely answer before the Drop-off Leutnant closed the Door and the Goblin took of the last time this day.
