Lightning is far from the average student at CHS. He is the top of his class, by a significant margin, and aside from his best friend Sunset Shimmer, he is a complete social outcast, almost completely incapable of holding any form of conversation with anyone who isn't a teacher. But all of that changes after an incident at a school field trip. Or, so he thought. Turns out having powers doesn't really change your social status if no one knows about them, nor does it really make it easier to talk to the pretty girl from English class. But as major threats start to rise in Canterlot City, Lightning realizes that someone has to stand up to them. As a great man once said, with great power comes great responsibility.
