Spitfire rolled her eyes "yeah it's really funny, that mare can't boss me around! And neither can you! I'm the leader here, I know more about leading than anyone"

"Hey Spitfire, I know this is hard to take, but this isn't the Wonderbolts. If it were I would be happy to let you lead and let it be like old times. Except times have changed, and I need you to keep your mind in reality. You are gonna become unpopular really quickly if all you're gonna do is boast. The Wonderbolts disbandment hit me hard too, but you need to accept that this isn't peacetime anymore and there isn't gonna be a performance tomorrow. I need you to act like a 1st Lieutenant and help me train this squad to be the best it can be. So we can rub it in the faces of the unicorns that don't think we deserve officer's ranks that our unit went on to become the best of the best. That'll show them the Wonderbolts can do more than just fly. You are the squadron leader when I am busy, wounded, or Celestia forbid it killed. Someday the Wonderbolts will perform again, and you can take charge once more when that time comes." Rapidfire let a tear slide down his cheek. He punched Spitfire on the shoulder, "Don't forget we have archery training starting tomorrow after breakfast. Fall in is at 0700 hours. Do you have anything to say before I go?"

Rapidfire laughed, "I don't really care what everyone thinks. I chewed out the prissy unicorns yesterday morning. And I ranted at and punished a pegasi who broke his wing falling 5 feet. Anyways, I thought it was really funny when you introduced yourself to that unicorn, I have been trying to think of something mean to say to her since she calls me FNG all the time. Anyways, I started to care about the unit when I realized that in a little while I will be putting my life in their hooves and I don't want someone to grind an axe in my skull." Rapidfire looked at Spitfire, "The pegasi really look up to us, and if we act like jerks all the time they won't. I want the Wonderbolts to perform again. We gotta stick together no matter what this impending war throws at us."

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 chuckled a bit, "Anyway Spitfire, its getting late and you aren't used to waking up at 7 in the morning. You don't want to be tired when you get snarky with Briar Rose. Lets make everyone adore the famous Wonderbolts tomorrow, ok?"

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))

((only Spitfire and the first commander get rooms with desks in, the squad leaders all sleep in the same room too))

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.

Rapidfire woke up at his usual time at 0600 hours. He jumped off the bed and stretched his wings. He put on his gold Group Commander's armour and stepped outside, only to trip on a black piece of metal on the ground.

"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?"

"it makes you look super flash, and completely distinct, I wouldn't recommend it in combat, and yes, I'm completely exited for the headstrong pegasus, maybe I can teach her something 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"

"There are some attachments that come with it apparently," said Rapidfire as he looked through his blue shades. "There are some clips here for a quiver and such, but near the flank there are some other clips. Any armour isn't gonna protect that well against magic. I need to wake up the Roaring Chimeras, my division, and get them to test out this sick armour." Rapidfire zoomed away to the barracks. He cantered in and struck an epic pose.

"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.

Spit fire kicked her legs wildly into the air "I DIDNT KILL THE PRINCESS!" she shouted as she jumped out of bed, the memories of a weird dream still in her head.

"oh, so, What's up today? Where'd you get that black stuff?"

Her eyes were blurry from just waking up.

"Its some rad armour that just got issued today. Ours has some sick Wonderbolts markings on it. Pretty damn cool. Once you clear the sleep from your eyes try yours on and take a look at it." Rapidfire did a backflip, "Its really light and comfortable and hardly hinders movement, unlike the old armour." he helped Spitfire to her feet. "Unfortunately we got archery training with Briar followed up by some shooting drills while flying being taught by me." his overtone got serious, "Give Briar some hell for me. Ah heck, I'll join in for the laughs."

Static Shock woke with a groan by the sound of stampeding pegasi going to the armoury. "Word travels too fast in this place," he muttered sleepily. He got off his bunk and decided to go talk to Briar. He waited patiently for her to finish her quiver of bolts. Once she had he groggily yelled, "Rapidfire alerted the whole castle about the new pegasi armour. Every pegasi is stampeding to the armoury to pick up a set. Why didn't we get some new gear? I could use a better looking medpack than my canvas one."

((sorry for double post, but it is less confusing that making one huge one that includes both OCs))

Briar shrugged "the pegasi get everything first because they are in the end slower to learn, and far too headstrong, I feel sorry for the earth ponies, they do all the manual labor and all they get is late food, late drink, and late uniform, I swear I'm gonna give them the get go to smash a skull with a hammer or something, we may as well alert celestia, everyone knows unicorns are her favorite"

Revelrie began to play in the background and ponies were making their way to the courtyard. Ponies slowly filtered in the ranks of the units training. The pegasi especially stood out in their relatively new armour. "Of course, maybe we will get a set next then. I think they may be releasing the armour over a period of a few days so the armoury doesn't get swamped by anxious ponies." replied Static Shock, "Considering what the pegasi got, I can't wait to see what they have in store for everypony else."

"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."

"Well then Ms. Spitfire Crankyhead, see you at fall in." he took off.

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.

Briar looked over at the pegasi, she then looked at some Earth pony infantry, who were being ignored by everyone, despite them being the only ones who could lift such heavy weaponry, which was actually the second most important aspect in most battles.

Static Shock saw her eyes go over to the earth pony infantry. "You do know that they released the pegasi battle armour first to the Wonderbolts so they could get the energetic pegasi to hype the battle armour to everypony else, right? I heard straight from the quartermaster's grumblings when I passed by the armoury that the unicorn and earth pony variants are getting issued tomorrow. Anyways, the earth pony and combined forces heavy infantry makes up a small part of the 101st, seeing as that we are supposed to be a quick and hard-hitting unit," explained Static, "But I have been hearing that they have been mixing pegasi and unicorns into those units recently for diversity and unit cohesion reasons. The heavy infantry is mostly ignored in a lightning fast unit such as ours, yes."

((alrighty then))

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.

Once fall in and roll call had completed, the different divisions split off the do speciallized exercises. The earth ponies did weight training, the unicorns worked on spellcasting, and the pegasi flying. Rapidfire's division was working on flying with all squads in formation. Rapidfire was sorting them on the ground and Spitfire was helping to direct everyone with comments like, "Follow my awesomeness." Once everypony had been sorted by squadron, they took to the air and were given further direction as to what squad went how high. Once all those headaches had been sorted, they spent an hour flying in divisional formations. Soon afterwards, the clanging of a bell signalled breakfast. Rapidfire sat next to Spitfire with the rest of his squad.

"Thanks for helping out, commanding a division individually is tough work unless you have help. I could have course done it on my own." Rapidfire pointed a hoof at himself. "But it saved a lot of time with you helping out."

Meanwhile, from the ground, Cloud Shaker recognizes the ones leading the flight exercises.

"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.

Briar walked over to Spitfire "the commanders have been saying they dislike you constantly promoting yourself in training, I mean, how many times did you say 'follow my awesomeness' during that training? it's not my disicion, but they don't like it that much." she turned to Rapidfire "well, you're doing good ain't ya?, get your men over to the crossbow training soon though"

((um, Dave, again, I still need to choose how celestia responds to him in the castle, he'll be let in, but I doubt it'll be simple, after all, these are her trained military, he's some mercenary who would betray her at any time because Luna would give him more))

"I believe you mean shortbow training. I gave a direct order to take shortbows to my men, so if someone decided to take a crossbow, I am gonna make him fly with it and see why I gave him a direct order not to. As for Spitfire, she did a good job helping out today, so I am not gonna rip her down for that. Why are you always so cranky Briar?" he rolled his eyes towards Spitfire in encouragement. "If you want to see boasting at its greatest, Spitfire can land on your table and introduce herself to your unit again." he laughed a bit before getting up to return his tray. "I would've too, but I was missing my family too much the first day when I got here."

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.

Rapidfire chuckled as he walked to his room. He grabbed his yew shortbow and went right away to where he saw Briar setting up targets. His division filtered in with their weapons, and he caught sight of a black pegasus with a cast on his wing carrying a crossbow. "Thunderlane! ATTENTION! What did I say about crossbows yesterday? Return that thing on the double and I want to see a shortbow in your hand. For goodness sake, you are a medic and can't carry such a heavy weapon. And once you get that shortbow, go back and get some rest. You need to take it easy for a few days. They're all yours Prickly Flower!"

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"

Rapidfire tapped his blue goggles. "Eye protection, Prickly." He took his shortbow and flew up into a cloud. Two arrows, one 2 seconds behind another, sailed out of the cloud and into the red of his target. He dove into a dive before hitting the ground and fired a shot as he screeched to a halt at the firing line. It sailed and hit center.

"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."

((EDIT: disregard this post, I will recycle small parts of this later on, except for breaking physics))

"I'm not a kid" Storm said with anger growing in his voice. "And no, I saw nothing to your description, I... " He paused" I just don't want to talk about this anymore" Storm said with a calmer voice. He looked down the street and saw the dead end. "We turn right up ahead and it should be the third house on the left." Storm said as he trotted a little faster towards the dead end.

((I'm sad because there's no way for my character to advance so I'm just going to set up a flashback moment to fill it in))

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."

((One thing to know is Luna is on the same side as Celestia, until the rebellion is fully under way.))

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.

Cloud Shaker detected the hoofbeats of Princess Luna coming behind him, but he did not fully who she was until she spoke.

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.

(( I brought Discord up because he is being moved to a safe location far from canterlot and the conflict so he is not released. The NLR hasn't done enough to be considered an uprising yet. Also this conversation isn't the fate on Luna join the NLR, it will be a series of events pushing her towards joining them, so Blazer doesn't have to worry about that yet))

"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.

((hey rapidfire, the reason a pegasus can't fly fast and use a bow at the same time is because a pegasi uses their front legs to balance themselves (rainbow always has at least one out while flying fast) and a bow requires two hands/hooves, so he can't use them both at the same time because he would crash or miss fire and get killed, also, a bullseye while flying very fast is godmoddy, just saiyen'))

Archery is still his special talent as explained in the post, training to become a Wonderbolt took over any time he had for archery practice. Lets try that post again. He stinks at using a sword, so that isn't really OP. Your OC can wield multiple crossbows so...))

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.

like Briar had said, Spitfire was working out how to work the bow properly, she hadn't managed to get the arrow in right, and she was getting frustrated from the time it was taking to get right.

"Hey Spitfire, let me show you," Rapidfire stood next to her, held her forearm out with the bow in it, and guided her arm to knock the arrow. After that he released his hold on her bow so she could aim. He next told her, "Now let go of the arrow," and it sailed into the wall behind the targets. "That is how you fire an arrow inaccurately. Once you can do that by yourself, that is the easy part. Now try to hit the target." he chuckled a bit at his last comment, and walked down the firing line, barking out orders for his unit to steady their hooves before they shoot. "I've never seen pegasi shoot such like old mares like this, try to at least hit the target!"

Meanwhile, in the castle, Static Shock sat in the barracks. He looked over at Thunderlane, who was sitting on the bottom bunk crying. Trying to cheer him up, Static Shock trotted over "What is wrong?"

"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.

Meanwhile, in the outer waiting chamber, Cloudshaker settles in for what appears to be a nap in order to lower the attentiveness of the guards when in reality he was scoping out the chamber and the various defenses that he could see from the window across from him.

"I wonder what those princesses are up to...and why were my sources flawed this one time? They definitely said a war was going on...I'd better investigate further when I'm in her majesties high graces."

With this, Cloudshaker continues his intel gathering as discreetly as possible.

((I couldn't think of a way to respond))

Celestia nodded, then said "perhaps we lower the working ponies taxes, while increase the higher class taxes, we'll need money later incase of... Drastic situations"

((haha. I put my creative energies during the slowdown to writing a chapter of a fanfic. I need to read back a bit to find out where i left off with Rapidfire. Right, it was about his cutie mark. That is why I was waiting, I was giving Blazer a chance to respond with Briar Rose. Hint hint))

"We hope things shall not go that far" Luna replied. Luna looked out the window. She saw it was getting later and soon she would have to raise the moon.
"Well Tia, we should continue our royal duties." Luna said before remembering the pony from earlier. "Should we send in that pony from the Equestrian Unity Collective?" Luna asked her sister

Storm walked over towards the third house. "This should be it. Here's hoping we're at the right place" Storm said as he walked up to the door. "Hello, Flaming, its me Storm, you there?" Storm said as he continued to knock.

Luna nodded and walked out the door. She asked a guard where the pony they lead out went. The guard took her towards the pony.
"Thou can speak to our sister now" Luna said to the pony ((DaveTheZombie))

Waking from his slumber with practiced silence, nopony noticed that he had decided to actually take a doze.

"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.

Celestia examined the mercenary "may I please say something to you?" she asked him to tell him.

"Of course, your majesty. I am at your mercy." Cloud Shaker was slightly surprised at the request. The royalty he had dealt with in the past had hardly asked permission before saying something. He wondered at what the princess would possibly be saying to him.

"I have to say, I've never heard of you, so, I have no idea what you would offer for me, can you please elaborate?"

"It's probably a good thing that you've never heard of me. After all, its harder to hide from an assassin you don't know about." Cloud had a grim smile on his face.

"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."

"but, how can I trust some pony I've never heard of to defend our fair country, we can't simply trust you immediately, many of them are very hardened and have most likely done things that would make you soil yourself"

"You made it and who the buck is that?!", Flaming said to Storm growing concerned noticing the smoke rise from the warehouse district.
