Elements of heroism spinoff: Season one: Beginnings

It was a beautiful spring day in Ponyville. And it just so happens, on this day, that There were 3 people, all the same age, plotting.

"How are we going to Convince Burst to let us be elements of heroism and go on missions with them?" The orange-skinned one, Known as Shining Spoon, asked.

"We have to prove ourselves somehow." The blue skinned one, known as Bolt Dash, Replied.

"How do we do that? We don't have cool Duelist Arms like the rest of them!" The white skinned one, Bright Star, exclaimed.

"Wait! I think I might have an idea! You know how Burst's dad trained him, right? Well, what if we get Burst's dad to train us too!" Shining said excitedly.

"Would he do it though?" Bright asked.

"You don't know unless you try! Let's go!"

Canterlot...

Aether Stream was enjoying relaxing, when he heard a knock at the door. "Who could that be?" He asked himself as he answered the door.

"Hello Mr. Aether! You're Burst's Dad, Right?" Shining asked.

"Indeed I am. Would you three like to come in?" Aether asked the 3.

"That would be nice, thank you." Bright replied.

"So what brings you 3 here?"Aether asked.

"Well, We're big fans of Burst, and we want to show him that we're worthy of being in the elements of heroism." Bolt answered.

"Hm. I see." Aether responded.

"And we were wondering, if you'd train us to fight like you did Burst? Please?" Shining asked.

"It would be a lot of work. and once we start, you can't back out. Are you sure you would be ready for that?" Aether Said.

The boys thought for a moment, before Bolt said "Yes. We are." The other two nodded.

"Alright then. We begin tomorrow at 6am"

The Next Day: 5:30 AM.......

Shining woke with a start, only fully waking up with the ringing of his phone.

"Hello?" Shining Answered, groggily.

"Hey! Wake up! meet us in the town square!" The voice of Bolt Dash came from the other end. "we've got work to do!"

"Oh Yeah! That's right! Be right there! See you in a sec!" Shining said as he hung up the phone. Shining got dressed, ate, and was out the door in a speed Rainbow Dash would be jealous of.

"Good thing I live near The town square!" Shining said as he ran out the door. Shining was dodging ponies left and right, swiftly apoligizing everyone he cut off. In about 3 minutes, he was there.

"Well it's about time you showed up!" Bolt Dash joked. "Let's go!"

"How Are we gonna get there in time? When we took the train, it took an hour! we only have a few minutes!" Bright Star Asked.

"I already planned that. In 3..." Shining Started.

"What?" Bolt asked.

"2... "

"What are you doing Shining?" Bright Added.

"1..."

"Someone need a ride?" Discord asked, popping out of nowhere.

"I totally called it." Shining replied, before saying, " Could you take us to Burst's Dad's house?"

"Sure, kids. hop on." Discord answered, as he apparated the four of them into canterlot city, directly at the front door of Aether's house. "Thanks Discord! Same time tomorrow?" Shining said as he handed 4 bits to discord.

"Absolutely. Now I'm going to go spend these on some coffee." Discord said as he left the three alone.

Bright star could barely knock before Aether was at the door. "Morning boys! Ready for your first day of training?"

Somehow, all three said simultaneously, "You know we are!"

"Excellent. then let's get started. Follow me. This training will take some time to get used to, but at the end of the next 4 years, you won't regret it." Aether Said.

"we won't let you down sir." Bolt replied.

Day one

"alright everyone, try taking out these training dummies" Aether ordered. Shining was up first. As if it was a real enemy, he slid underneath it, and jabbed at it from behind. "Not bad Shining, that was a very creative way to take the dummy out. Bolt, you're next." Bolt Ran up, and delivered fast, strong punches directly to the head of the dummy. "Wow, You sure did that fast. excellent zeal. Bright, you're last." Bright took a more conservative approach. He punched once, moved around, and punched as he moved. "You seem like the one who would try to find a resolution first."

Day 100

Bolt Ran up to the dummy, and took it out in one blow. Shining got around and Knocked it's head off. Bright took it out by Knocking it down with his feet.

"You three are Learning Very Fast. I thought it might be time to try weapons. For Shining, you get armor with a gauntlet that can launch and ensnare it's targets with rope. Bolt, you get armor that causes you to move faster than your opponent. Along with this, you get a sword. Bright, you get armor with a visor that can tell you what your opponent can do, and how to replicate it. you also get a blaster. Now you just need the training."

Day 1400

Shining launched his Gauntlet's rope at the dummy, ensnaring it, before pulling, and cutting the dummy into pieces. Bright spun circles around his dummy, and slashed at it from every angle. Bright's scanner went off, and notified him of the dummy's abilities. No abilities. Bright shot a ball of light at the dummy, leaving a hole in the middle.

"Good job boys. Come take a break." Aether said as he brought out some lemonade. "There's only two months left in your training. You've all come so far."

"Indeed." said a voice from nowhere. But Aether recognized it. "Starswirl the Bearded." He said.

"well, his spirit actually. but yes, I suppose so. I've been watching the three of you train under my friend, Aether. I'm quite impressed. This is why I've decided to power your Weapons and armor fully." Starswirl Said.

"Power our weapons fully? What does that mean?" Shining asked. Just then, a ball of light encased the CMCB and Starswirl's spirit.

"Your Weapons, when in the right hands, hold the spirit of dragons. Shining, Your Armor represents the Dark Rebellion Dragon. Your armor, when ensnaring opponents, takes half of their life energy, and transfers it to you." Shining's armor started glowing, changing colors to purple and black.

"Bright, Your armor represents the Starving Venom Dragon, not only does it scan your opponent, it gives you whatever power your opponent has. Temporarily, of course. " Bright's armor glowed, and turned Purple and red.

"Bolt, Your Armor is modeled after the Clear Wing Dragon. not only does it allow you be extremely agile, it allows you to jump extremely high, faster than flying could."Bolt's armor glowed, as it turned white and green.

"You three now have your own duelist arms. With that, you are now Elements of heroism. Shining, the way you battle is like none before you. Therefore, I dub you the element of creativity." Starswirl Said.

"Thank You." Shining replied.

"Bright, you would rather talk it out than fight. You are hereby known as the element of Resolution."

"Thank you, Starswirl." Bright Said.

"And finally, Bolt. You're always ready to fight to protect who you love. I hereby Name you, the element of zeal."

"Thank you Starswirl." Bright said.

"Now, I must take my leave. Goodbye Children. I will continue to watch over you."

And just like that, the three returned from the ball of light, each sporting dragon wings, and each having a colored aura around their hands. Aether didn't even seemed phased when they returned, however.

"You boys are ready. Your training is complete. With this power, you're ready for whatever the world throws at you. Now? I'd suggest going to see burst. He's going to love this."

"Thank you for the training over the years Aether. We truly appreciate it." Shining Thanked. "But we should go now. We have a lot to explain to our families. goodbye."

"Goodbye my friends."

Burst was in the everfree forest training, when he saw a blur of White and green pass by him. "Whose there?" Burst asked.

"it's just us Burst! Shining, Bright, and Bolt? We're kinda avatars now." Shining Said.

"And We have duelist arms!" Bolt exclaimed.

"And Starswirl the bearded gave us elements of heroism!" Bright finished.

"Wow. Starswirl the Bearded huh? You three must be something special. Good job. Welcome to the team."

Somewhere...

"Soon, I will capture all of the princesses, and those pesky elements of heroism too. I will reclaim what my Mother had taken away! AHAHAHAHA!"
