Chapter 10 Passion of the Flames

The Captain of the Wonderbolts herself, Spitfire entered her office letting out a sigh. She felt tired after her long day of shouting at the recruits, which she enjoyed. However what she didn't show very often was she was still a mare, and a bit of a softie. After such a day of recruiting, and training troop's she smiled at seeing the new recruits so full of wonder. She sighed sadly, she used to be like that, one with the flames. Back then she wasn't even the Captain, she was a pretty little hothead during then.

She remembered her partner, and marefriend, as she opened a secret door compartment showing her with a picture of her, in a Wonderbolts outfit, smiling to the camera with her smiling yet blushing marefriend Whirlnado. She missed their naughty moments in the locker, their cuddles, and practicing to winning speed flight races. It made them laugh, and smile, then came the day she won the title of Captain of the Wonderbolts. What was suppose to be a proud amazing day, turned into her most saddest nightmare. She remembered how it was. It was the last leg of the race, both her, and her friend speeding as fast as they could.

Then everything changed they were about to pull off the win, when Whirlnado, had made a wrong move. She had dipped her wing to tight in the final turn, causing a huge spinnout. She gasped as she saw,her friend slam into the wall, launched miles in the sky, blood spraying from her body, then heavily crashing onto the outer bound's. The race stopped as everyone went to get Whirlnado medical attention. However she didn't make it to the hospital in time, as she perished. Spitfire's world came crashing down.

The old fire in her heart died, she use to wear her hair so wildly, and fiery, after Celestia apologized, she gave her the title of Captain of the Wonderbolts. She shaved her mane into the dead military cut. She remembered the tears she shed back then. She then picked up a small little Equestrian radio, as she made it play a song on it, that Whirlnado had played her.

Spitfire cut off the music as she sighed as she wiped a small tear from her eye. She put the music radio, and picture back in her secret desk drawers. She felt a yawn come on, as she did some of her paperwork. As she continued she felt tired, and floaty? She felt so weird.....why? Soon Spitfire fell asleep on her desk. As she drifted away she woke up seeing her body fly high above the cloud's, as she felt confused, everything seemed stormy, yet dreamy.

"W-where am I, what's happening here?" Spitfire asked out loud her voice echoing. She then saw a crow letting out a few caws, before it burst into flames, making Spitfire gasp. Hovering around her in a circle were weird little creatures that were in fire, yet were not burning up. "W-what are you?" Spitfire asked.

"We are the Fire Zoni, he has returned you must help him get back" The Fire Zoni said in a cute unison voice.

"W-who is he?" Spitfre asked.

"The one who will help re-ignite the flames of passion you lost long ago" The Fire Zoni answered in unison.

"I-I don't understand who is the one?" Spitfire asked. They all stepped aside as a small glow was seen hidden between the clouds.

"All hail the true God of Speed" The Fire Zoni said in unison, she saw the glow look like a massive flames in the shaped of a strange firebird like creature rapidly approaching her, as she heard Rodan's thundering sqwauk.

Immedietly Spitfire bolted awake from the dream her body sweating. She looked in the mirror as she saw her old harmless flames lit around her body before quickly vanishing, a feeling she had not felt in years. She could feel something, speaking to her heart, and her flaming aura, calling to her as she felt a warmth, she hadn't felt in a long time. It seemed paper would have to wait, it was time for her to find what was calling her.

*****
The portal opened as Rodan was flung out spiraling out of control, before regaining flight speed in middle air, as he balanced himself with his super flight speed, before halting in mid-air still flapping his wings. "Great now I'm almost fricking nowhere......" Rodan grumbled, as he got Mothra's message. ".....And I have to wait until Mothra re-opens the portal, well I could wait or I could get back by myself if I fly fast enough, here goes nothing" Rodan smiled kicking his flight into top gear the flames radiating off his body.

Meanwhile Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash flew slowly above the sky, as Rainbow Dash was a bit bored, but hoping she wasn't on a wild goose chase. "Spit's, are you sure the thing you dreamed even exists I mean it does sound a bit far fetched" Rainbow Dash told her. Rainbow Dash, and Spitfire became pretty good friends over the past few years, they mostly talked, chat or even laughed. There was a time Spitfire tried to pursue her, but she had eyes, for a stallion she liked.

"I don't know Dashie, I haven't felt the flames I used to emit, in such a long time, especially after having such an incident, but it feels so strange, different than last time, it seems happy, but this.....it feels like something's calling me, trying to bring warmth to what I lost" Spitfire explained, touching her heart with her hoof.

"That......sounded so deep Spit's I didn't know you had that side" Rainbow Dash replied a bit suprised.

"I use to be similar to you Dashie, risky, cocky, full of determination, but after I became Captain all of that vanished away" Spitfire replied.

Without warning both Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash heard the boom, as Spitfire heard that same thundering sqwauk as Rodan raced past by, both of them barely dodging the tearing flammable wind ripping through the sky. "WHAT WAS THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"My answer, COME ON WE CAN'T LOSE IT!!!!" Spitfire shouted both engaging there super flight speed's. Rodan looked behind him, seeing both Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash. Trying to catch me huh, alright then let's see how good you fly Rodan thought. He then punched his flight speed, as all three of them began there little cat, and mouse game. Rodan flew with huge speed, as Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash tried to step up there game.

"Man this guy is fast" Rainbow Dash shouted as they continued to fly after him.

"Let's see what I'm up against" Rodan grinned as he stopped snapping him backward. He flew backward arching high as he saw Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash in a blur barely missing their head's, and back's, as time seemed to slow. Pegasi huh, let's see if your skilled enough to catch me Rodan smiled as time resumed before he spun his body, and boosted off. Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash, twisted there bodies, and boosted themselves after him without losing speed. Rodan snarled as he came to a maze of tress. As he flew in weaving to, and fro, dodging them without crashing.

"We can't follow him in that minefield" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Go over it" Spitfire ordered as they flew over the trees, before speeding after him. They were still on his tail, as Rodan growled.

"Alright then no more playing around, let's see you survive the Suicide Run" Rodan growled as he channel his speed launching himself high into the sky, as Rainbow Dash, and Spitfire followed. Rodan kept climbing, and climbing, and climbing. Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash were trying there best to tough it out, but Rodan was reaching to break Equestria' s Atmosphere.

"S-Spitfire I d-don't k-know h-how long I can hold out" Rainbow Dash grunted trying her best not to loose consciousness. "K-keep on it" Spitfire grunted trying not too lose herself either. Rodan passed through the Stratosphere, two layers away from exiting from the planet. There bodies not being able to take it, Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash blacked out, as there bodies began to fall, there unconscious bodies gradually picking up speed as they continued to fall. Rodan saw this, and couldn't let them perish from this height. He flew as fast as he could, burning through the atmosphere as he reached Rainbow Dash first. Using a small part of his superform, he jumpstarted Rainbow Dash before quickly dis-enaging.

Rainbow Dash woke up too see the same creature dove down as fast as he could, trying to catch an unconscious Spitfire before she hit the ground. Rodan sped up, dodging multiple portals not wanting to entering a time portal even though he was at a time warp speed. He caught Spitfire in time, but was too late too fully pull up. "OOOOOHHHHH SHIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!" Rodan cried as he used his entire body to protect Spitfire as he crashed into the ground hard, hearing the sound of bones break, trees getting destroyed, and dirt erupting everywhere.

Rainbow Dash raced to Spitfire who slowly began to wake up. She saw the huge destruction, and quickly checked her body to she was fine, she then saw Rodan was not. He was unconscious, bleeding in bad places, as Rainbow Dash, and Spitfire saw the damage. "Come on, let's get him to hospital QUICK!!!!!!!" Spitfire shouted as, they dragged Rodan to the nearest hospital from there landing sight. Lucky for them the hospital wasn't far away, as The Main 6, and Celestia stared at Rodan.

"Interesting" Celestia spoke.

"Well Celestia?" Twilight asked.

"I've never seen anything like it, it's defiantly not a Pegasi, or a Phoenix" Celestia replied.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"In my dream it was called the God of Speed" Spitfire told them.

"Unbelievable" Celestia replied.

"What is this God of Speed?" Twilight asked.

"It's a creature that I only thought to be a myth, there was a creature that was a cross between a Phoenix, and a Firebird, it was the first creature to be given super speed, and it weaponized that speed, becoming the God of Speed, the fastest, and dangerous of us all" Celestia explained. Soon Nurse Redheart, rolled in with small X-Rays.

"Suprisingly he's okay, he'll be ready to fly in a few hours" Nurse Redheart told them.

"A FEW HOURS?!?!?!?!?!?" They all shouted in unison.

"Is something wrong?" Nurse Redheart asked.

"I saw the fall this guy took he should be out for a few weeks, maybe a month" Spitfire told her.

"I now, but then I got my X-Ray results of his wounds, internal, and on his body I found something interesting" Nurse Redheart explained showing the X-ray. "He broke some ribs, had internal bleeding, and a few outside cuts...." Nurse Redheart began. "....but after checking on him while you all got here I did another X-Ray, and found this" Nurse Redheart told then as she showed another X-ray showing the wound's again.

"H-he's almost completely healed, b-but how?"] Rainbow Dash asked.

"It seems this creature has a strange cell, that "repairs" bone structure, and heals it's own tissue, but I also noticed something else" Nurse Redheart told them.

"What is it Darling?" Rarity asked.

"When his wounds healed, there were no marks or scars from the cuts, except for these" Nurse Redheart said, shining a UV light.

"WHOOOOOAAAHHHH!!!!!!" They all said in wonder as he was covered in head to toe with multiple scars. "When he was dragged in, these deep pink scars on his skin were showing, and the weirdest thing is there all different. Some of them are purple bruises, as if hit by a tail, or iron, the rest are nasty bite marks, slash marks, deeeeeep cuts, burn wounds, and even lightning wounds, these are ALL OLD SCARS!!!!!!!" Nurse Redheart exclaimed.

"Whoever he is, it's seems like he's a fighter, and a hard one at that" Celestia told them.

"I'm more worried, about what exactly did those to him, if it was multiple creatures, then it's defiently ones I do not want to meet" Twilight shuddered at the thought.

"I hope you all don't mind, but I'll stay with him" Spitfire announced.

"Are you sure Spitfire?" Celestia asked.

"Yes, but I want to be alone" Spitfire assured. Some of the others wanted to speak up, but Celestia halted them, and nodded. They all left leaving Spitfire with Rodan alone. Soon Night began to fall, as Rodan began to wake up, as he looked around seeing he was in the hospital.

"W-where am I?" Rodan asked. Spitfire groaned waking up, as she looked at him.

"Y-your in a Ponyville hospital, you saved me, and Rainbow Dash from the huge fall, and we took you here while we were unconscious" Spitfire told him.

"Well then I guess I owe you one" Rodan smiled.

"W-why did you s-save me?" Spitfire asked.

"Not even a creature like you deserves a death like that, however I sense a deeper conversation you would like to share?" Rodan asked.

"Well I'm Spitfire" Spitfire introduced.

"I'm Rodan" Rodan introduced.

"Why do I feel, so strongly sort or connected to you?" Spitfire asked.

"You have a more stronger connection connected the Element of Fire, my aura, and they have been ignited for a short while, but I also sense in you a great pain, a pain of loss that has diminished, and dimmed such a passionate fire that rages within your spirit" Rodan told her. Spitfire looked away, a small blush forming on her face. She sighed still feeling such a sad moment. She explained the story to Rodan, and he was all ears.

"Believe it or not Spitfire, I've almost been in your shoes" Rodan told her after she finished. Spitfire looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Y-you do?" Spitfire sniffled.

"Indeed" Rodan goes over his backstory him being the Aliens, the friends he lost, the mistakes he made, and of course the innocent lives he took, that he regretted.

"T-that s-sounds.......awful" She sniffled.

"I know, and I am forced to live with that every single day" Rodan told her. Spitfire couldn't take it anymore, she rushed to him with tears in her eyes, as she began to cry.

"WHY, WHY, WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LEAVE ME, I LOVED HER WHY, WHHHHYYYY?!?!?!?!?" Spitfire cried as she began sobbing into Rodan's, spikey chest, avoiding the small spikes. Rodan embraced her singing soothing tones, as she cried. Then he spoke.

"Sometimes in life, we lose the ones we love the most, the hardest part is always moving on, but we gotta do it, if not for our sake, for there's, but we will always remember them in our hearts" Rodan told her.

Spitfire stopped crying as she looked up at him. "T-thank you" She whispered.

"Your welcome" Rodan smiled as he wiped away her tears, then placed his claws on her cheeks affectionately.

["Mmmm" She hummed, as she let his claw stroke the middle her cheek. She then looked into those calm yet firey eyes, and for once in a long time......she smiled. Her body once again ignited with those harmless flames, as her mane grew back on her head. She was very beautiful, her mane was on most of her head, near her eyes, most of it was crimson, but still very firey, with traces of orange,and yellow, her long mane flowing freely, like flames. She looked very stunning with such a beautiful face.

"Wow.....you have re-ignited the flames inside you, and I must say Spitfire......your beautiful" Rodan smiled.

"R-really?" Spitfire asked.

"You are the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on" Rodan told her.

Spitfire turned away a little trying to hide the blush on her face. However nothing could last forever, a familiar beeping confirmed Rodan's worst fears, as a portal opened in front of them. "W-what' s that?" Spitfire asked.

"My way home, it is time I leave" Rodan told her as he began to get up, and walk through it.

"WAIT!!!!!!!" Spitfire shouted as she ran up to him. "Please don't go" Spitfire told him.

"I can't I don't belong here, I belong there in Terra, and there's a war I have to finish, I can't let innocents suffer more" Rodan told her.

"THEN TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!!!" Spitfire shouted.

"Take you......with me, I mean I told you Terra is no better than this place its...." Before Rodan could finish Spitfire cut him off.

"Please I can't stay here I wanna know what's on the other side...but before I go, can I take care of something?" Spitfire asked. Rodan sighed.

"Make it quick" Rodan told her, she nodded as she zoomed out quickly. She bursted into her office as she packed her old Wonderbolts jumpsuit, taking off her Captain's uniform. She heard a small groan as she turned around seeing Rainbow Dash asleep on her desk. She went to her friend, and motioned her to wake up.

"Hey Dashie....wake up" Spitfire told her. Rainbow Dash got up, and let out a small yawn.

"Spit's, why aren't you at the hospital, did that creature wake up?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Dashie, I have to leave, your the Captain of the Wonderbolts now" Spitfire told her.

"WHAAAAAATTT, WHY, CAN'T I COME WITH YOU?!?!?!?!?!?" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Where I'm going you cannot follow" Spitfire ensured her.

"W-will you c-come back?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Probably not" Spitfire told her.

"But why, why are you leaving I don't want you to go" Rainbow Dash cried as she held her friend.

"I know Dashie, but it's something I have to do, I know you'll be a good Captain, I can feel it, but my journey with you end's here, it's time I went, and discovered more" Spitfire told her. They both hugged one last time. As they looked at each other as they smiled.

"Hey don't shout at the recruits" Rainbow Dash teased.

"I LIKE YELLING AT THE RECRUITS" Spitfire grinned.

"Hard-ass" Rainbow teased.

"Recruit" Spitfire teased back as they both shared a heart warning giggle before Spitfire zoomed off with her packed stuff, and went to Rodan.

"Ready?" Rodan asked.

"Ready" She smiled wearing her Wonderbolts jumpsuit, as they both went into the portal to the Kaiju world. As they both came out the other side. Spitfire noticed her new Anthro body. She had medium sized breasts, a nice cute rear, and her jumpsuit made her look a bit sexy.

"Another one?" Mothra groaned.

"Nice to see you too Mothra" Rodan smirked.

"SPITFIRE!?!?!?!?!" Vinyl asked.

"VINYL!?!?!?!?!?" Spitfire asked in surprise. Before they could speak Mothra spoke.

"I'd get use to it, your not the only pony who's staying in our world as well, Flutterbat's sleeping upstairs" Mothra explained.

"W-wow, were a naughty little bunch aren't we" Spitfire blushed.

"Let me guess Anguirus brought Flutterbat through?" Rodan asked.

"Yup" Mothra replied.

"We better get Baragon Back FAST!!!!!!" Rodan warned.

"Yeah I got a bad feeling he might be in trouble" Mothra answered as he immedietly went to work.
