And here you were a changeling-pegasus who had just failed their flying test on purpose. Most ponies would be offing themselves right about now. It was you, Pierce, you're best friend Reid, and two boohooing pegasi named October and Crescent moon. October was a skinny blue pony with golden eyes and crescent moon, a male Pegasus who had a brown mane and brown hair.

The cart was mostly silent as you flew towards despair, save for the occasional sobbing-fits that overtook the other two pegasi in the flying cart. These fits were usually cut short by the boss-pegasus of the cart drivers. You had been speaking to him about what would happen to you.

"Okay, listen and listen good 'cause I ain't gonna repeat myself to no good-for-nothing ponies." said the driver from outside of the cart. You couldn't see him from inside but could still hear him through the walls. "Ever since Celestia found out about the 'Rainbow Factory', us good-for-nothin'-pony-movers ain't got no jobs. Lately though, we've been gettin' paid to drive you failures outta the city as usual, but we give 'em to a new group. These guys do what they want with yous and we pocket the cash, kapeesh?"

It was kapeesh. You were sent in on a mission with no intel and only one partner.

*What could go wrong?*

The cart had been going for hours before it finally stopped. Soon after the stop the doors to the cart were opened and you could see where it was that you had been sent to. This wasn't the Weather factory...

"Get out!!! OUT OUT OUT!!!!" Yelled the driver as he walked into view. He was a white, tall pegasus who was in better shape than most wonder bolts. He began bucking at you and the others in the cart to put a bit of a pep in your step. As you all got out you could see the dark forest you were in. There were about twenty ponies outside, mostly pegasi, all wearing black clothes. The one paying the good-for-nothin'-pony-movers was clearly the leader, he was the only one wearing no clothes. He was a large pegasus with naturally black hair and eyes. He waved the pony-movers goodbye as they left and then took position in front of your band of good-for-nothings.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" asked the Pegasus as he eyed you all. "Some more friends. Welcome, future brothers, to the Order of the wing." As he said this everypony behind him bowed as if there were a king in front of them.

"W-who are you?" asked October.

"Why," said the leader, "I am Nightwing, leader of the dispanded. helper of the forgotten. I save ponied like yourself and help give them a place where they belong. We are all a family!"

"Really?" asked Crescent excited not to be killed or enslaved or worse.

"Oh, yes!" Said Nightwing, "Really, really, really really real. See, when ponies are exiled, such as yourself, we take them in and treat them as family! It's so easy to join, too!" Said Nightwing excitedly.

"How do we join?" asked crescent, getting more excited with every word.

"Let us show you!" replied Nightwing, "Come! follow me!" and he was off, heading towards you-didn't-know-where. You looked towards Reid and he simply shrugged as if to say, 'I dunno', so you followed. Nightwing lead you to a clearing in the forest filled with hundreds of tents, enough for a small army even.

"Welcome to your new home!" said Nightwing, raising his hands in a mixture of pride and joy. "The failures of the flying test are sent away forever, as you know. They have been mistreating us failures for too long!" as he said this several ponies around him were agreeing and some were cheering a bit. Crescent and October were also agreeing right right and you and Reid were just silent, listening.

"It's not fair that we are sent away because we made a mistake!!!" now Nightwing was yelling, rallying the ponies around him. "We will stand together and show The inhabitants of Equestria that they can't just throw us away like this!! No! WE WILL RISE !!!"

Several other members of the camp had come to see the commotion and were also cheering and applauding their leader. After that little monologue Nightwing flew up into the air, hovering just above the congregation.

"If you wish to join me come!! follow me to your new lives!" He said and as if they had been waiting their entire lives for that moment every pegasus jumped into the air, ready to follow their master. You and Reid were the only two who didn't jump up right away, hesitant to follow this pegasus. You had to follow him though, and so you both flew into the air and and left with the group.

Nightwing lead the fifty of you to the outskirts of a small town he called Hoofington. You all landed and you noticed some of the Pegasi mold and shift until they were no longer pegasi, but changelings. Not all of them, only about ten.

Nightwing spoke to the members of the cart you had come in, "Before we begin I must ask, are any of you changelings?" You and Reid both froze with fear. Nightwing saw your faces and gave you a calming look. "Oh don't worry my brothers. We often get changelings who've wanted to be official flyers. It's fine, really. Please, if you don't mind, change into your casual form. We are all brothers here." As he said this he pointed towards the group of changelings.

You and Reid looked at each other and then reluctantly transformed. Nightwing was pleased at this and pointed you toward the other changelings.

"Very good! you two can go with them to learn the ropes," Nightwing said, "You two can come with me." this time he was pointing towards the two pegasi

The pegasi group flew off and left the changelings to walk into the town. It was late and most of the towns ponies were sleeping as your group walked into town. One of the changelings was leading you to the middle of town, carrying a large bag over his right shoulder. Once you were in the center of town he stopped your group and placed the bag on the floor.

"All right everyone, listen up." He whispered, "We gotta show the new guys how it's done around here." As he said this he unzipped the bag to reveal the contents. Inside of it were several guns, knives, bats, and a large assortment of other things that could be used as weapons. He began distributing these among the group.

"Ey, new guys." The group leader said, "This town's the first step in the order's plans for redemption. All yous got's to do's is go around and teach these ponies a lesson about the order. We're going to send a message to the princesses themselves." As he said this he handed you and Reid a pistol and baseball bat each.

"Just go have fun." Said another Changeling. This one was smiling ear to ear at the thought of whatever this plan was.

"We have to hurt these innocent ponies?" You asked, realizing what they were telling you.

"Innocent? This town's full of exile haters just like Nightwing says. I used to live here, but when I failed my flying test I was exiled and they never cared. Besides, don't you want to be part of the family?" said the leader.

He was right about one thing, you needed to infiltrate this group. You nodded your head yes and were silent again.

"Good," said this changeling, "Now let's get to work.
