Chapter 2: A Night's Fury

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Location unknown: Shadowbolt Hideout

Night Fury was pacing around angrily as she put her goggles aside and pealed the top off her uniform revealing the full face of her form. She had a strong yellow color to her but was muted with this kind of gray smoky coloration over the top of it. She inhaled turning her head to the slowly undressing black colt who was still wearing his goggles even though his uniform was half way down his body,

“You, Bumbling, Fool!” She was on the verge of just straight up screaming at him.
“You should know better then to push your body that hard! To use that boost thing of yours that often!” She was breathing hard as the colt just looked at her, fully removing the uniform from his hind legs calmly before hanging it up in his locker slamming it.
“We have been thou-,” He was cut off by his second in command,
“I Do Not Care!” she said punctuating every word with a angry hoof stomp.
“Your heart cannot keep taking this abuse! You already told me just how bad they where on you during your childhood! And now!” The colt turned to his filly companion only to be greeted with an unusual sight for her. She looked like she had tears at the edges of her anger filled eyes.

“Night fury...” She would shove a hoof into his chest to stop him,
“Stream, you Have to take it easy! Atleast until you have had time to recover some from all this...” She would turn away blinking the water out of her eyes and taking a few slow steady breaths to get her bearings.
“Look Cosmic Stream, this group looks up to you, even if you are an arrogant self centered colt crudder!” She felt her anger rising trying to stay from losing it right now.
“For their sake, try not to kill yourself okay?” He smirked,
“Oh it sounds like you actually do care a little there Night Fury, hmm?” Her cheeks reddened as she growled at him glaring right into his eyes,
“If you weren't a colt I'd - I'd!” she was trying to find the right word, only for Stream to speak,
“Kiss me?” Ka-Smack!

Night Fury was stomping through the base as pegasus, unicorn and earth ponies where walking around the base, many staying right out of her stomping line.
“Why that arrogant, self-centered, air headed, Rrrr!” She was not happy with Cosmic right now. That attitude was just like the last 3 colts she got close to, all they wanted was her body, they didn't care about who she was just that she had all the right curves. This is why she gave up colts and decided to go with other fillies, as they where not so shallow and into her just cause she had a nice flank. She finally arrived to her quarters entering, as the second in command of the Shadowbolts, she was the only filly with a room all to herself right now, as they didn't have a lot of room for everypony, they had to get by after all. She got on her bed and began to fully peal her uniform off.

She had thought to before Cosmic had left her frustrated and grumpy but atleast here she was alone. Slowly it came down as a long scar showed on her chest as she pulled her forward body, and front legs out. The scar continued from her chest down to just past her ribs, as she pealed the single piece away groaning as she felt the rush of fresh cool air hitting her sweating, overheating fur. She would continue to slide the uniform down past her round flanks, revealing a cutie mark, two storm clouds with a full moon rising in the middle of it and a lighting bolt coming out of one. She would use her teeth to grip her uniform and fling it into a chair across the room to let it air out as she stretched out on the bed. Tired and aching across her spine and wings, she laid out on the bed pulling the pillow under her head and letting out a deep slow sigh.

The memories where still fresh in her mind despite how long ago it felt. She sat in the park of the mostly abandoned town of Cherry Grove, one of the former jewels of route 6. She was watching the few families there play as one colt ran by snatching a mare's purse right off her back, “Stop thief!” She screamed as Night Fury shot out from under the tree after him, she was too fast for him to get away so he tried to draw a switch knife out on her. He meet with a pair of hind hoofs smashing his chin and side of his face by another colt, a black pegasus with a wild blue mane, right as Night fury had snatched the bag back. Night Fury returned it back to the mare quietly, while the black colt had the thief in a head lock waiting for the local police.

Night fury sat there with the colt a good hour later after giving their reports. The colt had not said much to her so far as he turned to her,
“You are quite the flier too huh?” She nodded slowly,
“Must suck living in the shadows all the time, a forgotten town. The best in Equestria never come to towns like this.” She felt a hatred in her chest build up, pointing out the obvious Mr. Hero!
“That is why I am making a group of ponies, from the shadows, the lost towns, to get noticed. Night Fury would look at him,
“Name's Cosmic Stream, and I would like it very much if you would join us,” He smiled as Night fury felt an odd flush run up her neck and cheeks.
“The name's Night Fury, and sure, I will join, if it means getting out of here,” She said, and muttered, “And away from my Ex's.”


Author's Note

Ya know ya'd think a filly with sun fire orange eyes and a mane that looks legitly like blue fire would be calmer. I always had an issue with how short this chapter came out but i could never figure out what else to put and i figured better put what is really in your head and not try to drag it out and ruin it. Comments are still welcomed.
