Training: Part One

Flurry Heart was getting acclimated to her new role as leader of the Crystal Empire when a scroll came to her from Canterlot.

Dear Flurry Heart,

I have had a recent idea cross my mind. I have decided that our new allies from Adventure Bay along with Mickey and his crew should be trained for piloting their own starships, and they should receive war training. You never know when you will need to defend yourself. I am putting you in charge of the training.

Yours sincerely,

Aunt Twilight Sparkle

Flurry knew that this would not be an easy task, but she and Twilight both knew that she was experienced in leadership and knew how to direct a mission. So she accepted and appointed some officials to take her place while she was carrying out the training. She boarded the train and set off for Canterlot. Meeting her aunt in the throne room, she listened carefully to what Twilight had to say.

"The easiest way to carry out the starship training is to use simulators. We already have enough from when we modernized Equestria. The war training will be different, depending on the individuals. Ryder along with Mickey and his friends can be trained for both space battles and hand-in-hand combat. The pups and the cats, on the other hand, can only be trained for space battles. Regardless, I know you can get them trained well enough so they are ready for anything."

Flurry was quick to reply.

"You can count on me, Aunt Twilight. I will make sure they do not miss anything."

"That's my niece.", Twilight said with a warm smile.

Flurry took a bow and headed to the communications tower in Canterlot.
