Spitfire thought for a moment "oh yeah, I smashed her drink and kept acting rude to her, oh well, she can be snarky with me again, I'll have a comeback next time!"

Rapidfire swooped out of the room to give Spitfire time to think. He hoped that he wouldn't have to deal with any problems in the morning at fall in. He landed in the hall and went into his private quarters. There was a mannequin in the corner, so Rapidfire put his Wonderbolt suit over it and put it in the center of his room. He smiled looking at the lightning bolts decorating the blue fabric. It reminded him of the hundreds of shows and thousands of hours he spent practicing. He reached in his desk and put a photo of all the Wonderbolts in a flying V in a picture frame and placed it on the wall. Next, he took a photo of him in his Wonderbolt costume smiling with his wife, Silver Wind, and his son Soaring and daughter Silver Storm riding on his back and put it on his desk. He sat down and began to write a letter to them. He began to nod off halfway through writing the letter, so he quickly hopped on the bed and fell asleep thinking about home.
((Rapidfire is a bit homesick))

Briar chewed on a piece of tobacco while in bed. Spitfire was gonna be a pain in the arse tommorrow, maybe through humiliation training- no, she was too headstrong, she'd think of one in the morning, she hung her bandolier of crossbows and bolts onto her makeshift belt holder, tommorrow would be hell, she might as well enjoy the sleep.
0550 hours she woke up at, she grabbed her bandolier, hopped down off te bed and stepped outside the door.
"I'm off, ladies" she jokingly said to the group, most of whom were asleep, she trotted down into the archery training area and set up some targets, she got out a set of bows and crossbows, the training was gonna be haaaard, maybe she could teach spitfire to dodge oncoming projectiles, nah, too much risk of injury, Spitfire would simply be dragged into bow training, something which takes years to learn, this was gonna be fun.

"What the hey..." grunted Rapidfire as he tumbled to the floor. "What is this?"
A note was attached to it reading "101st Flight Combat Armour, Wonderbolt and Group commander insignia" Rapidfire took the armour in his room and tried it on. As he looked in the mirror, he admired the aerodynamic, comfortable looking fit. Its black color further enhanced the visual appeal of it. The armour sported the Wonderbolt lightning markings along the hoofline. It even had the winged bolt marking over where his cutie mark was. He put on the (looks like an aerodynamic bmx)black helmet, and put on a yellow rimmed and blue lenses set of snowboard goggles that were sitting in it. The group commander rank marking was on the side of the helmet and on the shoulder plate. The yellow trim and blue goggles really were a nice nod to the Wonderbolt uniform.
"This sure beats the dress armour," he chuckled, "I'm gonna take it for a spin." He screamed out of his room, down the hall, and took off into the lightening sky. He turned barrel rolls, backflips, and dives with much greater ease then he could with the dress armour. He landed after a short while, and saw Briar Rose setting up for archery practice.
"Good morning, you gotta say this combat armour sure makes a Wonderbolt or any pegasus look so much more bad ass. I assume you are looking forward to seeing Spitfire today?"

Briar lit her pipe and put her neckerchief round her neck, followed by her bandolier around her waist "I look like some goth citizen while wearing these clothes, that's why they're useful, I can waltz past em and stab em in the throat, you look awesome, but you're gonna be the first target and it won't protect you from homing magic"

"101st Airborne, 2nd Division ATTENTION!" Pegasi and unicorns alike groaned, revelrie hadn't been played yet. The pegasi in his division groggily obeyed and hopped off the bunk bed on the floor and snapped to attention. They all stared in jealousy at his armour. Static Shock rolled his eyes, "Its this idiot again," he thought, turned over, and went back to sleep.
"I see that you are eyeing this sick looking combat armour," he said as he spun around, "The good news is that you each get your own set of combat armour, minus the yellow Wonderbolt trim. Report to the armoury immediately to pick up your own set. I don't want to see anyone in that stuffy dress uniform, understand? DISMISSED!" Rapidfire had to quickly swoop into the rafters to avoid being trampled by his division as they stampeded to the armoury. He even saw a few pegasi from other units that woke up jump off their bunks and rush to the armoury.
Rapidfire skipped the long line at the armoury and talked to the quartermaster unicorn as he feverishly hovered sets of pegasi combat armour off the shelf. "Are there any attachments that come with this armour?"
The quartermaster smiled, "Of course, do you really think we would let you get shot out of the sky by homing magic? There are flares and something which releases a counter spell to disappate a homing spell. Make sure you use them wisely because they will run out quickly if you use them too much." he continued to hand armour to the impatient pegasi. "Why did you make my life so difficult early this morning?"
Rapidfire laughed, "Because I want my division to impress everyone this morning. For some reason it has a reputation for being sloppy and lazy. Is there combat armour for everypony?"
The quartermaster sighed, "Of course, Celestia wanted to distinguish the military a bit from its Royal Guardesque old uniform. I believe the unicorn variety ships in tomorrow and the earth pony version ships in the day after. You do know for formal events unless told otherwise that everypony is to wear the old uniform? It has become a dress uniform."
"Were you able to get a set to my friend Spitfire? She would dig this."
"She is the one in the tower? Unfortunately I do not have wings." replied the quartermaster.
Rapidfire responded, "I can take it to her for you if you want." his statement was answered by the Wonderbolt modification of combat armour being magically thrust into his hands. Rapidfire took off and headed to Spitfire's tower.
"Hey Spitfire, I got a present for you, rise and shine and check this radical armour out!" He put Spitfire's Wonderbolt combat armour next to her, making a clanging sound which woke her up with a start.

"Do you hear that Spitfire? That is revelrie, get your combat armour on and lets go." Rapidfire pushed Spitfire towards her armour. "You're gonna have to take a quick look in the mirror to make sure you put it on right."

Rapidfire landed stood faced his division. All the pegasi in front of him saluted him, and he returned it as well. "AT EASE." he ordered, and his unit loosened up and began talking to each other and Rapidfire joined in. The new combat armour was a really popular focus of the conversation of the morning. He saw Briar and Static go over to the unicorn shock trooper unit.

Cloud Shaker steps off the train at the station and surveys his surroundings. His belly rumbles, a testament to a lack of food for that entire day. Shouldering his saddlebags, Cloud slowly trots down the streets in search of a half decent bar in one of the quieter sectors of Canterlot.
Not finding any bars in ready supply, he settles for a sandwich at the seediest cafe he could find before setting off to find the tactical command center where Princess Celestia, supreme ruler of the Solar Empire and head of the Solar Army could be found.
Cloud arrives at the command center and is stopped by the royal guards.
"Let me pass, you hear? I haven't got all day to waste on this willy nilly political formalities. The princess called for my services and paid extremely well, so I intend on seeing her to seal the contract."
After 30 minutes of trying to persuade the guards, clearance was finally sent from up top and Cloud walks in without a backward glance.
"Morning, Princess Celestia. I hear you had a certain proposition for me..."
"Hello, Cloud Shaker, infamous mercenary, scourge of the battlefield against the continual changeling invasions at the borders of Equestria, and also reputable bounty hunter. You have served me once before in different circumstances, and now I ask that you serve me once again."
"By your will, Princess Celestia. I heed and obey. But some bits would help this process along as well, you know. I'm still a mercenary at heart."
After discussing the specifics of said task and giving him a sizeable sack of bits, Celestia sends Cloud Shaker off to the training grounds where the first of many tasks given to him by Princess Celestia was to be performed.
With his worn trenchcoat, mangled Indiana Jones style hat, and overall dusty appearance as well as a crossbow straddled atop his saddlebags and a quiver attachment on the side, Cloud made quite an appearance when he briskly walked into the training grounds. If anypony had been paying attention to something other than his appearance, they might have noticed how he did not make a single sound despite the speed he was walking. They also could not focus on him exactly, his body seeming to suddenly disappear only to reappear a couple meters later.
"Heh, these city slickers couldn't make gawking at me more obvious than they are right now," Cloud muttered under his breath. "I wonder if any of these troops got a single drop of battle experience in them..."
Shaking off his mutterings, Cloud was going to enter the main building when he noticed a group of pegasi in special battle armor standing amongst heavy infantry earth ponies.
"Well, couldn't hurt to take a look, I suppose..."
Cloud Shaker finds place that hid him from all view except from the area where the rest of the ponies were, and settled in to watch.
He especially made sure that the ones with special regalia on their armor were able to see him.

Moonsong sat on a cloud above Ponyville, singing to herself. She had a green cardigan on, and her mane was tied up neatly in a bun. She was wearing light makeup, along with her usual crescent-shaped earrings and a bracelet with several different charms on them. She'd obtained these charms from travelling around Equestria - her favorite was a charm with a gemstone in it that she'd got from Canterlot. Reducing her singing to a hum, she looked down onto Ponyville.
It was a nice day, the sun was high in the sky and she could see Manehattan on the horizon. If she flew fast enough, she might be able to get there by sundown. It would be nice to visit Manehattan, she had only been there once.. No, twice before. Either way, she still hadn't got a charm from there and decided it was high time she did. She spread her wings and began fast-flying over.

"Hm, Celestia has the Wonderbolts training her troops, eh...? This should be interesting."
His stomach grumbles once again, it appears the sandwich did not nearly hold him over as well as he thought it would.
"Suppose I should make my appearance then... but first off..."
Cloud Shaker sends a piercing whistle into the sky that is unhearable by ponies. A messenger falcon appears, and he ties a missive to its legs to send to Princess Celestia.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
I have arrived at the training facilities as instructed, but I am unsure of what exactly my duties are. The only skills I have to my own are best applied in a battlefield or hunting fugitives. ((see rp post for details)) I will need further instruction before being able to take action.
Regards,
Cloud Shaker aka Bounty Hunter Orion. "
He sends the hawk off in hope of a quick response so he can procure breakfast.

A tear slid onto his tray, "Luckily I get to see them in a few days when they are on vacation in Canterlot town and that is the day of the week I get to go down there. I should be less homesick after that. See you at archery training. If there any problems, leave the disciplining to me, my unit doesn't particularly like your nickname for me, Prickly Flower." He waited to see the response from the mare to her new nickname.

Briar nodded "alright FNG" she turned to the group "alright, so, you've been told you had to use shortbows right? Well, you can't just focus in them alone, you are to train in ALL three forms of ranged weaponry, each is effective in their own way, but a word of warning, only the mos skilled should ever use a bow while Flying fast, the last time someone used a shortbow in flight they fell out of the sky with an arrow lodged in their eye, some crossbows are light, some are heavy, most here are light, how do you expect I carry 6 of em round with me everywhere if they're so heavy? You can train with any of the weapons, but don't fly fast with any weapon other than a crossbow, alright? Good, have fun"

"I am no clumsy pegasus," he grumbled. "I have been practicing every morning an hour before revelrie. I didn't today because you were setting up and I was preoccupied trying out my armour. If anypony has questions as to the safety of this, we are wearing armour and eye protection. However, you should learn to fire from the ground and hovering first, so pay attention to Prickly while she tries to teach you. After this training is done, you get to learn my take on archery. Prickly, if you want to tag along and watch, feel free. Just make sure you cast a shield spell on yourself first, I had to request the courtyard specifically be clear when we fly and shoot. Some shots tend to go... ....off target." Rapidfire looked at an arrow stuck high in the tree. "I want to see if the style of shooting can work in a combat unit. It would certainly make the unit unique." he realized that he had never shown his cutie mark to anyone in his unit since he always wore his dress armour, so he decided to show it.
Rapidfire removed his armour, pointing his hoof at his now visible flaming arrow cutie mark. "I didn't earn this cutie mark as a colt for nothing! If anyone had questions as to my ability to shoot, here is your answer! I got this one day when I decided to shoot at my target from up in a cloudt. When I released the arrow, it stuck dead center, and my cutie mark appeared on my flank. I decided to continue trying to make the Wonderbolts to prove to the jerks that a seemingly small colt could achieve things that would make them drop their mouths. Perfecting my flight skills replaced arrow shooting, but I never forgot what motivated me, that single moment" Rapidfire pridefully strode behind his men, "And I intend to teach you how to fire behind a cloud. Now that you know my cutie mark story, Prickly and 2nd Division, I hope you can understand why I picked back up shooting so quickly. For most pegasi, archery is not an easy skill to pick up." Rapidfire smiled, "Don't ask me to swing a sword though."

What really happened back at the palace with Celestia: ((disregard all the stuff about being at the training center: I'll re make that up later))
Cloud Shaker was escorted by several guards to her majesty, Princess Celestia. His motly assortment of weapons had been confiscated and was being held by the palace quartermaster.
After bowing in a fashion to her majesty, Cloud Shaker (also known by his bounty hunter name Orion) addresses the princess.
"Hello, your majesty. I'm here to offer my services to you in exchange for a warm place to live and wealth to spend."
"You see, I have been fighting for many years as a sort of assassin in one of your elite fighting units on the frontlines against the diamond dogs. When I left that last year, I had been in pursuit of a diamond dog shaman who had a pretty price on his head. it's been a long, hard life for me, your majesty. When I heard about the war that is brewing between you and princess Luna, I came here because I know I have certain skills that will prove helpful to you. After being without home or bed for years, I want a place to look forward to in the future, and the best way to do that is to join your cause, if you would accept me."

Princess Luna was looking for her sister. The news of the roit in Las Pegasus, sent her into a fright. Luna feared Discord would be released again with all this chaos around. She wanted to dicuss moving Discord to a safe peacefully area. Luna had already checked half of the castle. She headed towards the throne room. She walked in behind a group of guards and a pony. She didn't want to interrupt just incase it was important, but she was shocked to hear her being blamed for starting this.
"War between big sister and us. Tis a lie, we hath been trying to end this chaos peacefully. We art trying to bring peace and harmony back to Equestria, not start a war. Art we right Tia" Luna said with a high voice level, but wasn't the royal canterlot voice.
#155

He spun around suddenly.
"Princess Luna? Then there is no war yet? This is excellent! Truth be told, there is a large group of ponies who are part of a growing faction called the Equestrian Unity Collective, which I also a part of. Our aim is to see Equestria keep it's peace and prosperity that it has seen for the last millenium. I, however, had been alarmed when there was a new group of rebels calling themselves the New Lunar Republic fighting for Princess Luna and her right to the throne.
While my first allegiance is to the Collective, if a war is to erupt I must side with the faction who will be able to continue this peace. However, if there is no war yet, I beg you Princess, please quell these radicals that fight for your name!"
Cloud Shaker uses all his powers of persuasion in his speech, hoping to increase the chance of avoiding war.

"War no, we art dealing with angered ponies. This NLR is not for us to rule, but for themselves to rule. They art a small group and only appear large. Since ponies art angered by the tax increase, thou our sources say the changelings might escalate the issue for another atempt to take Equestria. We shall try again to quell these angered ponies, but we have more urgent matters to discuss with our sister. Alone." Luna said in a loud voice, but it wasn't the royal canterlot voice.

Rapidfire hovered, once again timing his shot to the bobbing of his body. It sailed right of center. His time away from shooting had made him a bit rusty, despite the cutie mark. He was going to have to practice a bit more. He focused further on his target, getting in a mental zone similar to when he flew with the Wonderbolts. It was rudely interrupted by a loud "Hey FNG." Rapidfire groaned as his concentration broke. "What's up Prickly?" came his frustrated response.

"Everypony is training except for me," came the reply.
Static smiled, "I know a thing or two about first aid. Want to start your medic training? It doesn't require wings to learn." he took his medpack off of his hanches and put it on the ground.
"Yeah," sniffled Thunderlane, "That would be good."
"Then lets get started, first we are gonna learn about broken bones..."
Rapidfire advanced behind his soldiers, "Come on guys, only a few of you have hit the target." Rapidfire's armour got caught on a bush and rode up his flank, revealing a flaming arrow cutie mark. He quickly adjusted it, but noticed that Briar was trotting over to him. The jig was up, playing innocent with Prickly wasn't going to help this time, she probably saw his cutie mark. "What's up Prickly," he quickly said as he puffed out his chest.

"Thank you, your majesty." Cloud Shaker bowed stiffly. Perhaps taking a quick doze in that position had not been the best choice. He started towards the chamber, the royal guard guarding him closely as he went.
When he entered the chamber, he stood, waiting for the princess to speak.

"My original purpose was to come here and establish a new life here. I want to leave my old life as a mercenary and gain some stability, rather than fighting for monarchs with shadowy motives. What I offer is simple: for a modest stipend, I can prepare your new recruits for the battlefield as much as possible. I think you know as much as I do that because of the peace and prosperity we have enjoyed for the past 1000 years, there has been no need for a large standing army. In fact, your only experienced troops are now the ones manning the outposts that guard against the diamond dogs and the changelings, and even they see little to no action. We've grown soft, your highness. However, I think I can remedy this. The best way to prepare troops for battle is to have one who's been to hell and back teach it to them. I think I can be that one."
TL;DR "I can offer your troops training on how to behave on a battle field, learned through my own hard experience as a soldier and a mercenary. I can also teach outdoor survival."
