flying eagle

CH.1 Rude Awakening

Cold that was the first thought to enter Trevors’ mind opening his eyes he quickly closed them from the sharp pain to now wreck his thinking allowing his body to go limp he feels his left hand brush against the throttle of his fighter.

“ Well this the last time I trust Celestia to put me to sleep, now then time to figure out why im awake.” opening his eye the familiar sight of the cockpit greets him looking up he sees that the canopy was popped open. Slowly getting up Trevor looks around before his eyes land on a lime green tail sticking out from behind a crate grabbing an empty can he chucks the can like a football nailing the crate causing a loud clink before clattering to the floor along with a yelp before the owner of the tail falls into view revealing a light blue pegasus mare trying to blow her long mane out of her eyes once she does Trevor comes into view.

“Ah, Mint I see you’ve joined me down here mind filling me in on why I’m awake?” The mare nods before standing back up and flap her wings raising into the air before flying closer to him her teal eyes focusing onto hi.
“ It appears Equestria needs the eagle once more due to the zebras not wanting to play fair.” The mares’ voice reaches his ears causing hi to nod before getting back into his seat flicking switches on the control panel causing the controls and electronics to flicker to life. Looking to his left he grabs his flight helmet before putting it on hearing the engines fire up finally looking back at the mare he nods to her before tapping his oxygen mask.

“ Comms are green Mint I’ll keep in contact while you find the princesses.” Pressing a button the canopy closes locking into place .

Trevor puts his oxygen mask on clipping it onto his helmet he lowers his visor before relaxing into his seat he grabs the throttle and flight stick before pushing forward on the throttle the jet quickly flies forward shooting out of the cavern that was made into a temporary hanger pulling back on the flight stick the fighter jet quickly gains altitude rising five feet above the trees Trevor levels the jet so it was flying straight once more looking around he scans the area before a bright flashes catches his attention.

The streets of Ponyville where in complete chaos Equestrian guards where in a deadlocked battle with zebrakin soldiers behind the guards was the newly crowned princess Twilight Sparkle beside her was one of her friends Rainbow Dash.

“ Twilight you need to leave Ponyville is getting overrun plus that dreadnought just took out the last of the long range cannons!” Rainbow Dash yelled into Twilight's left ear over the explosions and gunfire all around them while said dreadnought hovers over the small town one of its cannons blew out smoke from recently being fired. Twilight Sparkle looked down knowing that her friend was right she looked over at her friends only to see her ears per up more swiveling to her right.

“Does anypony else hear a loud screeching sound coming from our right side?” Dash yelled that out before she looks to her right causing Twilight to do the same spotting a fast low flying object heading towards them away from the Everfree Forrest. As they watch the object its shape begins to take form a shimmering of light reflects off the top of the object they watch as the object turns towards the dreadnought.

“ What the hay is that thing doing how’s it even flying without flapping its wings!?” Dash yelled out before hearing a strange whooshing sound watching as two trails of smoke leaving the objects solid looking wings.

The two cylinder looking objects quickly flies over their heads the two mares watch in silence as the objects fly towards the upper haul of the dreadnought before impacting it causing a huge explosion to rock the dreadnought.

The shockwave hits the ponies and zebras on the ground most looking up to watch as the dreadnought shutters moving towards the outskirts of the town.
Pieces of the frame and haul begin to fall off before the sounds of rapids cracks fill the now silent warzone white streaks fill the sky impacting the dreadnought causing chunks to fly off causing the dreadnought to lose control and careen towards the Everfree impacting the ground.

The explosives in the lower decks ignite from the flames that covered the downed dreadnought causing a massive explosion to rock the small town sending all of the zebras attacking the town into a retreat.

As Twilight looks towards the smoldering remains of the dreadnought Dash focuses her attention to the object now circling the town in what she could guess was a scanning pattern the object now in full view making it easier to make out the long triangular shape with the long and wide wings stretching from its sides parts of the wings where moving either to keep itself flying or to keep itself in the circling pattern her eyes focus on the back of the object two wide half triangular objects black in color with the symbol of a talon in the middle.

She watched as the object turns to its left flying towards Canterlot she looks back to Twilight before flying towards Canterlot Twilight following her friend.

"well that was fun time to head towards my new hanger that popped up on my map." Trevor turns his fighter to the left heading towards the waypoint Mint has put on his GPS.

Looking at his HUD he begins landing preparations as the landing strip comes into view he gently lowers the fighter towards the dirt track while with his left hand he lowers the engines throttle land smoothly on the ground pressing a button the jet slows to stop before the turbine twin engines turn off.

Sighing he unhooks his oxygen mask before removing his helmet looking to his left he pulls on the latch allowing the canopy to pop open allowing the young pilot to feel the warm summer breeze touch his face getting up he climbs out of the cockpit stand on the right wing hazel eyes scan the area before visibly relaxing "it's good to finally be able to do my job." looking down he grabs onto the rope ladder that was in the cockpit to climb down before walking towards the hanger his helmet was in his right hand walking into the hanger he begins to unzip his flight suit with one thought repeating in his mind "I'm hungry and thirsty."
