Where Loyalty Lies 2: Life as Shadowbolts

Rainbow Dash started to wake up. She was enjoying a nice little nap on a cloud as a bit of a break while she took some time off from Shadowbolt duties to set Thunderlane up as the new front runner to take over Rainbow Dash's position; something that's taking quite a few days to work out all the kinks and red tape. The speedster Pegasus was going to once again show she values loyalty above all else by setting Thunderlane up to become the new Weather Factory manager.

However, during her nap, she felt herself get sprayed by something, only to just now wake up; her limbs tied to a bed somewhere. Rainbow Dash was not okay with this in the slightest bit.

"Ah good. Your awake." A mysterious male said. A single male Pegasus stallion soon showed up.

"It's you..." Rainbow Dash said, recognizing the pony right away. "Bad Storm." The speed pegasus said.

"It's been a long time, Rainbow Dash. Too long if you ask me. I returned from vacation to find you dating somepony new, being a shadowbolt, and making someone be the front runner instead of me." Bad Storm said. "Like hell am I going to let all this stand." He added.

"What do you think your going to do about it, huh?" Rainbow Dash said.

"Quite simply put, I'm going to sex you. But not without first putting your new boyfriend in his place and showing him there's only ONE stallion who should be yours: Me." Bad Storm said.

"Your insane." Rainbow Dash said.

"Am I? Or am I simply putting two ponies in their place: Under me." Bad Storm said. Soarin suddenly showed up. "Ah good. Your here." Bad Storm said.

"You think your going to get away with this?" Soarin asked.

"Oh you can only DREAM of doing so. You found my letter at that Shadowbolt HQ right?" Bad Storm asked.

"Your seriously thinking you can beat a former wonderbolt in a race? Your crazy." Soarin said.

"Time for you and the Shadowbolts to learn there's always someone better then you. We'll race at Rainbow Falls." Bad Strom said.

With the Shadowbolts watching as well as Thunderlane, Derpy, Rumble, and Scootaloo, the race got underway with Bad Storm taking an early lead. A lead that was being quickly challenged. The two stallions were neck and neck the entire time, and that did not change after six of the seven laps. At that point, Bad Storm looked poise to DQ Soarin, when Soarin began to actually pull ahead of him. FAR ahead. In fact, as soon as the seventh and final lap began, Soarin was already pushing his speed even more then before. He managed to win out over Bad Storm.

"Woo! That's Soarin for you!" Rainbow Dash said, before hugging Soarin; her easily future husband.

"What? But how? We were neck and neck for the majority of that race." Bad Strom said.

"I'm an endurance flier; I tend to save my staminia for the near end of a race then go super-fast right out the gate. That way, I can catch my opposition off guard." Soarin said.

"You...I'LL REMEMBER THIS!" Bad Storm said before taking off. Soarin wanted to go after the stallion but Rainbow stopped him.

"Let him go. There's no way he's going to be able to recover from this blow to his oversized ego." Rainbow Dash said.

"...Your right." Soarin said.

Bad Storm found himself kicking the grass in a field outside the boarders of Ponyville. "Some gamble. Maybe I should've known better anyways to go up against a former wonderbolt turned Shadowbolt. They're not considered elite fliers for nothing." The stallion said.

"Tried to go up against one of the Shadowbolts on your own and found out you stood zero chance, didn't you?" A female voice said.

"...Yeah. You could say that. I was simply trying to show those Shadowbolts there's someone better than; maybe get the team disbanded and get the Wonderbolts back in the process maybe. I was simply trying to put them all in their place." Bad Storm said.

"The perhaps, you and I can help one another. I want the Wonderbolts back on top, and want to show those Shadowbolts what for once and for all. So, what do you say: Are you willing to help me out?" The female voice asked.

"You bet I am. But who are you?" Bad Storm said. Suddenly from behind a nearby tree, Bad Storm recongnized the pegasus mare who just came out from the shadows.

"You know full well who I am." The pegasus mare said. "Spitfire, former captain of the Wonderbolt Squad; someone who wants some good old-fashioned revenge and maybe even get her job back." She added.
