Real Tests with Unreal Problems

Real Tests with Unreal Problems is the 49th Episode of the 3rd Season of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. While the rest of the Mane Six are busy with the trial concerning the fate of former-Headmistress Shineflare, Rainbow Dash discovers that she isn't the only one not doing well in the 'learning' of the Wonderbolt history department since Lightning Dust was reaccepted into Wonderbolt Academy. Lightning Dust, despite being a bit jealous that Rainbow Dash is already a Wonderbolt, is all about speed, and of course, while not an idiot, learning about the Wonderbolts' story is not what one calls a good talent. Naturally, Dust will basically learn like how Rainbow learned: through flying, but because she doesn't do it completely, and does it mostly through experience and mind, they let her go through a simulated historical journey as she gets to experience the Wonderbolt history by witnessing it as it had occurred. But while this is going on, the Wonderbolt Headquarters is getting routinely attacked by thought-to-be-defeated enemies in the form of deadly gargoyles, which keep attacking in the night when they are not stone. These particular gargoyles are under the command of thought-to-be-vanquished foes Man-Vulture and King George, followed by a group of trigger-happy personal henchmen that would give the Team Fortress Mercenaries an inferiority complex, and commandeered by a rogue brother of Spitfire, Acidburn, plan to take down the Wonderbolts for good through any means necessary, so when they plan to secretly make Dust flunk her test by sabotaging all contributions of Lightning's friends, Dust will learn absolutely nothing, and therefore, will flunk and lose her chance to get into the Wonderbolts for good, leaving her vulnerable for Man-Vulture to manipulate into his perfect destruction force. Luckily, The Shell Lodgers were around to aid in Shineflare's case, and offer some of their members to help the Wonderbolts stand up to this threat as they begin planning to counter-sabotage any attempts, take down Man-Vulture, Acidburn, and the gargoyle armada, and secure Lightning's future.

(This song plays as Lightning's simulated journey begins (Well, since this song isn't overtly and annoyingly educational, then I guess I can allow it.))

Chapter 1: Shineflare's Case/Lightning Dust's Learning Report
Equestria, Twilight's Castle Paradisa Equestria Wonderbolt Academy Twilight's Castle. Flashback. Present Elsewhere, In the near-by hill near Apple Acres. Twilight's Castle Flashback Present Flashback... Flashback ends. The first place of the Simulation Journey: An old Wonderbolt building.
 * Twilight:... Well, girls, you'll be glad to know that the case concerning Shineflare is going to be starting tomorrow.
 * Applejack: Thank Luna! After she was single-handedly responsible for a dragon hating ponies, then I called that the last straw! I say the bitch deserved it.
 * Rarity: Applejack, dear, I would advise that you not use such foul words about Shineflare... Even if it is warrentied. We all know why she's like this to begin with, don't we?
 * Applejack: It's still no excuse to treat non-ponies harshly, though.
 * Twilight: Whoa, AJ, easy! As much as she is a jerk to non-ponies, can we at least sympathize with her? She was among many victims of Malevolent Flames after all, if not also a pony slavery group. How can anypony stay sane after going through stuff like that?
 * Applejack: ".... Well, to be fair, I'll at least give Shineflare some points for not being MEANINGLESSLY racist, but I am still against her for letting her tragity be used as an excuse to hurt others! I tend to frown at folks like that!"
 * Starlight was nerviously smiling.
 * Applejack: ".... Present company excluded, Starlight."
 * Rarity: "In all fairness darling, she wasn't a 100 percent foul. The fact she saved Canterlot from Roughber and congradulated Peng for not sunsiding to his mother do show redeeming traits."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Yeah, but they're like finding diamonds in a pile of cow poop! You would often be too disgusted to even care about that."
 * Pinkie: "They're also like the yummy strawberries on top of a gross icky yucky mud ice cream sundae!"
 * Twilight: "Ok! So maybe she does have ALOT of work cut out for us! But let's remember that she's still a pony, and still has purity. It just needs a chance to shine more then her negitive feelings."
 * Applejack: "I don't object to that Twi, but I ain't exactly holdin' mah breath either. Shineflare is likely to still be a might resentful to mythic critters for awhile."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Well let's at least be glad she won't be able to find a new Pred Judu Des without her former council position. As well as the fact the other council ponies will finally think straight without being influenced by Shiny-butt."
 * Spike: "But just to be safe, let's do a roll-call on all things we covered to make sure things go smoothly for once. First item on the list: Is Shineflare kept from using magic to escape or cause any form of unexpected trouble?"
 * Twilight: "WAY ahead of you on that Spike."
 * Spike: "Next item on the list: Are any previous mythic being and creature enemies of Shineflare prevented from taking advantage of this to seek horrorable vengence?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Aw, yeah! Me and the Wonderbolts' totally kicked their tails!"
 * Spike: "3rd item: Did we make sure Shineflare doesn't have a surprise living relitive that would've sought to free her?"
 * Applejack: "With granny's help, I was able to find two of them, both cousins. Both were a-plotin' to bust Shineflare out, so I made sure the royal guard knows about them. Thanks for having your brother there to make sure the guards do it right, Twi."
 * Twilight: "Your welcome."
 * Spike: "4th item: Did we made sure Discord will behave himself?"
 * Fluttershy: "Black Kat was more then happy to take Discord on vacation with her to that Paradisa place. I, just hope Discord doesn't start to feel too mischivious."
 * Discord: (At a Hawaiian-style party on the beach performing a magic trick with Kat) Alright, everyone! I shall now saw my lovely assistant in half!
 * Guy #1: YOU'RE BOTH DRACONEQUUI! THE TRICK IS SO OBVIOUS, IT SUCKS!!
 * Black Kat: I told you to just go with comedy!
 * Discord:...Well, if it's laughs they want, then let's give them a mouthful! (Dresses up like a familiar In Living Color Jim Carrey character) BOY, this party is an accident waiting to happen!...LET ME SHOW YOU SOMETHING!! (Approaches a torch) Let's just say you're about to serve some apple liquor to a lovely couple! And you're working a night shift, and you're COMPLETELY drowsy! You become so drowsy, you don't pay attention to the cork, you pop it out, and BOOM...(Liquor splashes onto the torch as it blazes the wood) Next thing you know, it's like Zozobra's having a little cookout! (Cackles as everyone panics)...EVERYBODY REMAIN CALM, I AM A FIRE MARSHALL! LET ME JUST PUT OUT THE FIRE! (Pours the liquor on the fire as it explodes, literally turning him and the wooden structure cartoonishly into ash)...Oops!...Oh well!...I guess this is why you never serve alcohol in a party surrounded with fire. (Laughs, and the whole audience ends up laughing)
 * Guy #2: Now THAT'S funny! (They laughed)
 * Black Kat: (Sighs)
 * Fluttershy:... So, Rainbow Dash, to suddenly break from an impourent list, how has life been since you became a Wonderbolt?
 * Rainbow Dash: One word: Awesome! Though I haven't had a mission as of yet, Spitfire gave me a chance to teach at the Wonderbolt Academy. Though, I've had a little problem concerning... A familiar friend.
 * Lightning Dust: YOU'RE A WONDERBOLT NOW?!?
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah. I've been one for a couple of months.
 * Lightning Dust: "...... AW NOW I REALLY WISH THAT MESS WITH THE FUCKING TORNADO NEVER HAPPENED!? THEN I WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET ALONG WITH YOU!?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Only one wonderbolt member retired that day, so, even then-"
 * Lightning Dust: "BESIDES THE POINT?! IT'S CLEAR I NEED TO DO MORE TO PROVE THAT I CHANGED FROM THAT SCREW UP?! I am just glad that stupid story about the Chirstail Empire Seige never happened. I WON'T STOP UNTIL I PROVEN MY WORTH!?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Ya kinda did when the Gala fiasco happened and-"
 * Lightning Dust: "EVEN MORE THEN THAT!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Well, luckly for you, Spitfire's team aren't the only wonderbolts. They're the Wonderbolt Alphas. There's still the Betas, Deltas, Etas, Episions, Omegas, Sigmas, Zetas, Thetas, and-"
 * Lightning Dust: "Those teams are fine and all, but I want to be with the Alphas! Not just because I'm a huge fan of Spitfire's legacy, but because..... I consider you a great friend, Dash. Ok, there was that, REALLY awkword fallout, but, we patched up, and now we're great friends again! I always wanted to get involved with the Wonderbolts with you! Your THE Rainbow Dash of the Elements of Harmony! You saved Equestia from threats even the entire Wonderbolt squads can't stop! It would suck not being in the same squad as you! You had any idea how badass an element of harmony hero and a member of the legendary dust clan on the same wonderbolt team would be like?! IT WOULD BE TALKED ABOUT FOR GENERATIONS?! I WILL NOT MISS OUT ON THAT BECAUSE OF MILLATERRY POLITICS! I WILL PROOF MY WORTH AND EARNED THAT LEGACY!?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Look, it's WAY more complincated then that and-"
 * Lightning Dust zoomed off!
 * Lightning Dust: "I WILL PROOF THAT WORTH!?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "...... Oh boy."
 * Rainbow Dash: "So I'm afraid she's back to her trying to hard self and might end up making herself look bad again."
 * Rarity: "Have you tried making Spitfire aware of this?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Last time I did that, Lightning Dust got kicked out and she wanted to kill me for it, remember?!"
 * Applejack: "That time was different. This time could mean just having Spitfire stop her from doing something bone-headed."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Trust me on this! The only things I am ever actselly afraid of, is ANYTHING ACTSELLY CAPABLE TO KICK MY ASS?! And though I like Dust as a friend and respect her as member of the fabled Dust clan, I AM AFRAID OF WHAT SHE CAN DO!? REMEMBER HOW BADLY SHE KICKED MY ASS BACK IN THE GALA FIASCO?!"
 * Rainbow Dash panics, and tried to sneak away, but it was too late, Lightning saw her!
 * Lightning: "YOU?!"
 * Rainbow Dash gulped.
 * Rainbow Dash: "Uh, hi Lightning..... Uh, no hard feelings?"
 * Lightning grabbed a rock, and crushed it with her hooves in one swift crush!
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Aw, s***."
 * Rainbow Dash zoomed out of there, Lighting followed in fast persuit all the way to Canterlot causing want and destruction to various objects in the way of the chase, to the panic of Canterlot residents!
 * Rainbow Dash: "Come on Rainbow Dash, you need to lose her somehow! There has to be one thing not even she is capable of..."
 * Lighting: YOU CAN'T KEEP OUTFLYING ME FOREVER!!! YOUR FLANK IS MINE!!!!!
 * Rainbow Dash remembered the Sonic rainboom! This is here only chance to lose Lightning!
 * Rainbow Dash started to boost up more speed!
 * Rainbow Dash starts to go faster and higher above Canterlot!
 * But Lighting caught her before she got any higher and faster and did the Sizemic Dust Toss!
 * BLAM!
 * Rainbow Dash is seen laid into the ground.
 * Luckly, Rainbow Dash is still alive, but wounded greatly. the feathers in her wings have been vaporised, holes are seen on her skin, she got bruzed in her eye, and Rainbow Dash was bleeding in the eyes and mouth.
 * Rainbow Dash was in a realm of disbeif..... Someone, actselly outpassed the Sonic Rainboom. It was her only hope.... and she was robbed of it.
 * Rainbow Dash struggled back up to her feet.
 * Lightning Dust only flouted above the weakened Rainbow Dash.
 * Lightning: "Your more duriable then I thought. I once did the Sizemic Dust Toss on a rouge Centaur on my way here, and all that survived was a piece of his armor... Shoulder blade if I can recall correctly."
 * Rainbow Dash relucently realised she was in no condition to fight, let alone to continue running. She had no choice but to surrender.... But wait, she realised something. Did Lightning Dust just said "Sizemic Dust Toss"? That legendary move is known only to the legendary dust clan...... Then it hit Rainbow...... She had wronged a member of that very clan. A family, with Pegicious horses in the family generations and genes, and birthed the legendary Shining Dust of the wonderbolts and the famed milliterry hero Thunder Dust.
 * Rainbow Dash coughed, as she is about to speak....
 * Pinkie: Oh, yeah, you lost outright to her.
 * Rainbow Dash: EXACTLY! Granted she could've been a good Wonderbolt had it not been for that recklessness of hers, but I don't think I can even SURVIVE a jealousy attack!
 * Twilight: Well, SOMEPONY has to stop her from doing something reckless! So if YOU won't do it, I will!
 * Twilight aimed to teleport Lightning Dust here, but Spike stopped her!
 * Spike: "Actselly, teleporting her isn't nessersary! She and some new friends are already around the area."
 * Lightning Dust: "Lo and behold, wonderbolt hopefuls! (A crudely crated contraption was seen), the Lightning Daredevil! The Ultamate in Wonderbolt Impressing Stunt Tecknowagey!"
 * Chow Mein, A Harpy, A Griffon, A Hippogriff, and a nerdy Spyro-Recolor Dragon were seen.
 * Harpy: "..... Pretty sure it's the ONLY in Wonderbolt Impressing Stunt Tecknowagey, Dust."
 * Griffin: "Oh come on, Harpz, at least she's trying!"
 * Hippgriff: "I don't know, sis..... That looks dangerious."
 * Nerdy Spyro-Eqse Dragon: "Not to mention a hulking violation of very safety proceedure known to pony and dragon kind."
 * Lightning Dust: "(Gets on the contraption) Trust me guys, this thing is garrentied to get us noticed."
 * Chow Mein: "Aw come on, Dust. You know your parents don't approve of you doing stupid stunts."
 * Lightning Dust: "Trust me, this will turn out fine."
 * Harpz: "..... Why not? I'm up for some dare-deviling. You game Gem, Bronze Pen, Drokre?"
 * Gem the griffin: "Hell ya! You coming bro?"
 * Bronze: "Oh dear. I know this won't end well."
 * Drokre: "The rate of failure is at least 50-50. Depending on circumstances."
 * The 4 climbed on.
 * Lightning Dust: "Anyone wants a deminstraightion?"
 * Chow Mein rolled his eyes as he climbed on.
 * Lightning Dust: "It's REAL easy! It's just the matter of being able to press this button and-"
 * Lightning Dust mistakeningly pressed the button and activated the rocket like contraption.....
 * Drokre: "..... Premature launghes are commenly known to end in failure...."
 * Lightning Dust: "...... Ohhhhh."
 * Chow Mein: "Well, Dust, when I say I told ya so, I-"
 * The Contraption blasts off with the five on it as they scream as music started to play!
 * During the song, after a series of wacky moments simular to that of the Start of the Barnyard movie, Lightning Dust, Harpz, Gem, Bronze, Drokre and Chow Mein all got off the contraption high in the sky!
 * Chow Mein desperately grabbed onto Bronze!
 * Drokre desperately tried to keep stedy!
 * Lightning Dust, Gem, and Harpz were the only one who maintained position after completing actrobatic tricks!
 * Lightning Dust: "(Sees the out of control contrapsion)..... OH NONONONONONONONONONO?! WE HAVE TO STOP THAT THING BEFORE IT HITS TOWN!?"
 * The Group chased after it and tried to intervent it, but every time, the unpredictable mess turns at random directions until it looks as if it'll get away!
 * Twilight: (Teleports to the front of the rocket, and opens a portal that sends it to space, and causes it to explode)
 * Lightning:... I... I... I... (Sighs in relief)... That was a close one!
 * Rainbow Dash: I should say so!
 * Lightning Dust gasped at this....
 * Lightning Dust nerviously chuckles...
 * Harpz: "(Gives Chow Mein back) Lates Dust!"
 * Lightning's new friends vamoose!
 * Lightning: Look, guys, I can explain everything-
 * Twilight: Lightning, calm down! We need to talk!
 * Lightning:... Alright, what Rainbow Dash told you, don't take it the wrong way! I was merely-
 * Applejack: Lightning, if we hadn't appeared, you would've made the same mistake you made at Wonderbolt Academy. Not to mention that crazy contraption could've caused serious property damage, or I shudder what could be worse then that! We need to end this jealous edge of yours.
 * Lightning: Look... I just wanted to prove that I can be as successful as Wonderbolt Team Alpha! Now that Rainbow Dash is a Wonderbolt, what better way to be in a grand legacy than to be her partner in Team Alpha? It's going to make history!
 * Rarity: Lightning, dear, there is more to life than just popularity! You changed because you made a bold sacrifice. You're an Element of Harmony now.
 * Lightning: Well, tecnecally speaking, YOU aren't anymore! You've got Rainbow abilities that make you look like rockstars! You girls can kick smug asses all over the place! As for me? I've barely made some progress in proving that I'm qualified to be as successful as Rainbow Dash!
 * Twilight:... And why is that?
 * Rainbow Dash:... Lightning, is there something you wanna tell us? What exactly happened before we met?
 * Lightning:... I... Uh... I was just finished with a test.
 * Rainbow Dash: Really? Because I could tell it didn't go well given the fact that you were like...
 * Lightning: (It's seen she's got a D- in the test, and when Rainbow Dash comes in, she is surprised, hides the paper in her bed, and smiles) HEEEEY, RAINBOW DASH! You'll NEVER believe how good I've been doing in my classes! It's a blast! By the time my exam to get into the Wonderbolt Reserves comes, I'll finally be ready to make my family proud! I... Uh... What's with the getup?
 * Lightning:... Uhhhh... It was just a momentary surprise, that's all!
 * Rainbow Dash: Lightning, I know when you're lying to me. I learned from Rarity to know when a pony is full of s***, and you bare ALOT of those signs! Hestitation, saying "Uhh", then actselly saying something, those are commen lie tropes! ESPIECALLY for amaturs! I want the full truth, and as an official Wonderbolt, I am asking for that right now, and that's an order!
 * Lightning:... Alright, FINE! Here's the truth! I'm not keeping up on my grades since I was reinstated! Even though I am not entirely a reckless mess anymore, BARRING certain events, I'm still not exactly up to stuff to the kind of ponies that got into the Wonderbolts. I just... Didn't want to let you down now that you're a legend.
 * Spike:... Wait... You have troubles with studying?
 * Rainbow Dash: I should've known something was up. If you ask me, all she's been doing is horsing around doing dumb stuff, and just watches the Wonderbolts History Movie because she thinks it actually represents the REAL history! I mean, seriously, it took ME a while to figure out that movie was just historical fiction.
 * Twilight: Duh, that's why I said we couldn't watch that when YOU had the same damn problem!
 * Lightning Dust: "Wait..... The Wonderbolts History Movie was fiction?"
 * Rarity: "Historical fiction. It means that, while it's BASED on real events, Ponywood made adjustments to make the film, um, easier to swallow for the unenlighten masses, or else it may as well should've been a documentary."
 * Lightning Dust: "..... In that cause, I..... AW, S***!? NO WONDER I'VE BEEN FLUNKING?!"
 * Pinkie: OOOOHHH, another pony in need of some learning? I'll get Vinyl and the boys!
 * Twilight: No, no, no, Pinkie, that won't be necessary!
 * Lightning Dust:... You mean to tell me that Rainbow Dash was once a loser with history?
 * Rainbow Dash: Look who's talking! I could ask YOU the same thing!
 * Lightning Dust: Look, I remember a LOT of things from the classes!
 * Rainbow Dash: You couldn't remember the goddamn alphabet!
 * Lightning Dust: "DO TO?! A B C D, E F...... W X Y AND Z?!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "YOU JUST SAID THE START AND SKIPPED TO THE END?!"
 * Lightning Dust: "Hey, I didn't say I was an Alphabet wizard! I was more of the athletic jock in my school days, so sue me!"
 * Pinkie: OH, (Laughs) WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE ALPHABET?!?
 * Rainbow Dash:... It was a figure of speech!
 * Lightning Dust: (Sighs) Ok, all horseplay aside, one, I remember the goddamn alphabet, even the ones INBETWEEN the start and the end! Secondly, I DO remember!
 * Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah? Well, how did the Wonderbolts originate?
 * Lightning: It was just a police force founded by a kickass general who wanted to fight crime and-
 * Rainbow Dash: (Does this)
 * Lightning Dust:... What did I get wrong?
 * Rainbow Dash: (Sighs) Well, no wonder you got jealous and nearly made a mistake that cost you a last chance to be a Wonderbolt! You're an inexperienced, ignorant, envious little pupil who needs a proper tutor!
 * Lightning Dust: What're you talking about, of course I'm not! How do you think I got into the Wonderbolt Academy the FIRST time?
 * Rainbow Dash: Well, your heritage to Thunder Dust and the entire Dust clan, obviously, but that's not enough! I can assure you that your dad and your grandpa Shining Dust didn't spend their free time flying haphazardly through towns high-fiving his fans like Po would!
 * Po: HEY! (The Lodgers came in)
 * Rainbow Dash: Oh, hey, guys! Wow, you all are pretty silent.
 * Icky: "Yeah, we came in about the Shineflare case and we also came to check up on you guys cause we saw a freaky poorly constructed scrapheap appearing from nowhere and blowing up! We came to see if you guys knew about it?"
 * Lightning: (Everyone pointed at her)... (Shrugs)
 * Trixie:.... Wow. Trixie figured that the Dust girl has risen above that sort've nonsense now.
 * Icky: "Don't ya just hate character relapses inbetween an episode from season 2 all the way to now?"
 * Lightning: Long story short, I was jealous of Rainbow Dash finally becoming a Wonderbolt, and I wanted to be her partner... Until I ended up going too far with it.
 * Applejack: "And she was lucky that contraption never made it to town, NOR did considerable damage to Sweet Apple Acres."
 * Shifu: Well, what's this we heard about Lightning being inadequate with her studies?
 * Rainbow Dash: She says she's not been doing well in them ever since she was reinstated. She needs to be taught.
 * Lightning: (Sighs) Well, yeah, I got issues. So what? At least I might get better.
 * Twilight: Just expecting to get better is not going to get you anywhere. With the kind of habits you go through, I highly doubt you'll make it by your exam.
 * Iago: "Trust us Lady, the Wonderbolts aren't the kind of people that accept dumbasses! That runs the risk of them making mistakes that poison the team's names!"
 * Pinkie: "But what about the time they failed to save Rarity by being smacked by her frailing hooves? Or not being able to stop Spike as an adult raging dragon? Or when they were quick to ditch Soaren in faver of Rainbow Dash? Or when Wind Rider framed Dashie and the wonderbolts just quickly assumed Dashie did the crime and-"
 * Iago: "THOSE, have some ounce of justification. The Wonderbolts were not able to plan better on rescuing Rarity or were able to properly combat Spike other then just giving him a hair-cut on his skales! What happened in Rainbow Falls and that Investigation episodes were just moments of poor judgement."
 * Fluttershy: "There's uh, still the matter of the useage of that rude nickname."
 * Skipper: "They were doing that to eachother! It was just harmless millaterry provado teasing and fun! No harm done!"
 * Icky: "But ya can't deny that alot of the Brony Analist Community say that the Wonderbolts are in serious need of reform of their standerds. I mean, let's be honest, if they can't even beat a hyperised baby dragon or detect foulness in their own team like an excitable spazz, no offence Lightning, or an aging bitter psyco from an ugly part of their history, or even their OWN failings for that matter, then how is Equestia suppose to take them seriously as heroes?"
 * Rainbow Dash: Okay, all of you, I get where you're coming from. I mean, I should know that the military is not supposed to be completely perfect. Their actions are justified a bit. Like when I was framed. They told me that Spitfire serves as their voice of reason, and without her, the team tends to be a little...well...less perfect. And the worst part of that is, Wind Rider KNEW that. Getting rid of the leader was supposed to disrupt the rest of the team more than just being a leader. I mean, Soarin once told me that he used to be temporary leader a couple of times, but his poor judgment, misguidance, and lack of foresight seemed to make the Wonderbolts themselves look bad, as he had to be put on chore duty multiple times.
 * Iago: Oh, really? Does THAT excuse their choice to ditch Soarin during the Rainbow Falls event?
 * Rainbow Dash: Okay, in context, that would seem like a d*** move, but they told me that they did that because they were just being cautious. With what I said before about Soarin's flaws, they wanted to make sure he didn't cause some kind of mistake, and wanted a less-flawed pony to take his place.
 * Fluttershy:...I still don't think that's good companionship. They still lied to him.
 * Rainbow Dash: They didn't tell him because they didn't want him to feel abandoned or left out. They wanted to make him feel like he was important. When you're a Wonderbolt, you look out for each other, and as such, you have to make sure your team doesn't become flawed.
 * Tigress: I still don't think this is making the Wonderbolts look any better. If you ask me, the only person who's making them function better is you and your friends.
 * Icky: Yeah, I mean, come on! Why did you still wanna be with them after they just turned on you and threatened to kick you out WITHOUT a proper investigation?
 * Rainbow Dash:...You really wanna know why I still defend them? You wanna know WHY I have dreamed of being with them? Well, then, I'll tell you! When I was just a filly, before I was the pony who defended other fillies from bullies, and BEFORE I was the pony who loved racing and winning, I was... Lost.
 * (Rainbow Dash): "To abridge things.... I kinda used to be as bad as Gilda."
 * (Gilda): "I'd be offended if it wasn't true. In fact, I'm kinda guilty of being a bad enfluence cause of how crappy Griffinstone was. Granted, we both started out fine as kids, but by our teens, that was when our nastier attatudes began to show."
 * Teenage Rainbow and Gilda went around caused mischief to locals.
 * (Rainbow Dash): "I was known to get into flight drag races with other adelesson punks for street cred, money, and.... Questionable activities."
 * (Icky): "Yikes, I didn't knew that about you guys. What caused it?"
 * (Rainbow Dash): "Typical teenage hormoans. Now, in some unrelated event, I did lost that sense of jerkiness, but now..... I was an empty shell.... I re-understood what I should've really been and not what I acting as. I began to remember all the times when my dad took me to see Wonderbolt shows and rediscovered the Wonderbolt mercentdise I locked away when I entered defiencehood. Then..... It hit me. I realised that becoming a Wonderbolt was gonna be a new part of me, and to take me into a better life.... I became dedicated to them ever since because..... It was my old childhood love of the Wonderbolts that helped me out of the rut I was in...."
 * Rainbow Dash: "And now..... I finally completed that goal....."
 * Spike: "..... Yeah, but it looks like your gonna have to take them out of their OWN ruts!"
 * Shifu: "I have to agree with young Spike. It appears on like how they changed your life, you need to inspire them to make changes of their own. It's obvious with their quickness to embrace unreliable members, inconsisent sense of loyalty, and not always being reliable in times of danger, that they need someone who will set them straight."
 * Icky: "No s***! Remember when they ended up getting corrupted by Crane's industrial bro and went after us in alou to the chase senquence of the 3rd Madagascar movie?"
 * Squidward: "How about when one of them almost got eaten by a flying clone of that monster shark?"
 * Boss Wolf: "And the fact they weren't able to help out Big Mac from that clone of Jigglodon."
 * Lord Shen: "And the biggest issue that they aren't always around to put a stop to a major problem! Or when they do, they aren't capable to stop it!"
 * Rarity: "But they aren't always that. Remember the things they did do correctly. The fact they rescued us from being in the grips of Wind Rider while you lougers were away on a mssion comes to mind."
 * Rainbow Dash: (Sighs) Go ahead and say what you want. They helped inspire me to become the well-recognized town hero I am today. I couldn't have gotten anywhere without them. That's why I still stick by them even after how much flaws they have. I don't know what happened to make them this way, but I've long proven to be reliable to them than they are of each other. That's why Spitfire honors me. Ever since I inspired them back in Rainbow Falls, they know that they can always use some new surprises from me every once in a while.
 * Mr. Dodo:...Actually, I think that sounds fair. I mean, the phrase 'nobody's perfect' exists because it describes all people. Spitfire's got flaws, Soarin's got flaws, even Rainbow Dash does. Why do you think they consider nicknames a bit of a tradition? Rainbow Dash wasn't the ONLY one who did a bad impression when joining.
 * Rainbow Dash: (Chuckles) Yeah, I was surprised, too. I just thought they were doing it to be jerks. I really should consider talking it out with my fellow teammates that way I don't end up ruining another presentation. It was actually the first time the Wonderbolts shared something personal.
 * Mr. Whiskers:...Speaking of nicknames...what exactly did they call Spitfire?
 * Rainbow Dash:...(Chuckles)...It's better if you don't know. Let's just say that it was worse than MY nickname and leave it at that.
 * Mr. Whiskers: Let me guess, Gritfire? Zitfire?
 * Rainbow Dash: Guys, guys, let's not worry about that! This isn't about me, anyway. This is about Lightning Dust. If we don't help her learn, she's going to be back to being an outcast.
 * Icky: "Well to save us a repeat of that episode about how to teach YOU about history, why not just teach Lightning like how you were taught rainbow? Though doing what she loves? Flying."
 * Pinkie: "Awww..... I really wanted to do that rap."
 * Starlight: "Hey wait, isn't that gazelle lady usually with you?"
 * Icky: "She had to go back to Zootopia for a charity event her manager is holding."
 * Duke: "(Looking kinda down) As she always had done in the past before this space adventure started."
 * Fluttershy: ".... What's the matter, Mr. Weselton?"
 * Duke: "WEASELTON!?..... Sorry. I'm just.... Coping with loneliness..... I'm used to being without Gazelle, don't get me wrong, but, I never gotten to spend more then just a few moments."
 * Starlight: "..... You miss your friend, do you?"
 * Duke: "Hey hey, whoa whoa! "Missing" her is a strong word there!"
 * Twilight: "Duke, you don't have to hide your feelings from us."
 * Icky: "Or else we'll be forced to bring Mr. Lie Detecter Test into this."
 * Duke: "OK OK, FINE!? You hussled me! I am, kinda, sort've, missing Gazelle. She's among the cloest things I ever came to having a person for a friend, followed by you guys and fellow bootleggers. And my family, wife and kids, but, besides the point."
 * Applejack: "Aw shucks, don't you worry much about nothing, Weaselton. I'm sure she's feeling mighty homesick about you too."
 * Duke: "She does, but it'll be quickly mended by being surrounded by screaming fans. She does care for me, but she knows I usually can handle myself, so she doesn't worry like an anxious mother over me."
 * Lightning: Well...how exactly are you going to teach me again?
 * Rainbow Dash:...You do learn through sight, don't you?
 * Lightning: Actually, it's kinda different than that. Much stuff I see when I'm in the air seem to never catch my attention. Even things that seem interesting.
 * Shifu:...Then how DO you learn?
 * Lightning: Well, I usually learn by experience. You can actually learn things by watching and experiencing them in your mind. Like with that Wonderbolts History Movie. When I was watching that movie, MAN, was I hooked! I wanted to fly with those guys. You get sucked into a movie so much, you wannabe there in the fight with them.
 * Rainbow Dash:...So...basically seeing things in flight is now how you learn?
 * Lightning: Oh, I actually think of seeing things in flight as my own activity of pony-watching, entertainment, adrenaline-rushes, and actually living out a personal fantasy. When you actually do something like it is in a movie, you feel like you're one of them. You're ready to make your cherished hero icons proud. You intend to impress them with all you've got! Show them what their tales can inspire.
 * Rainbow Dash:...Kinda like ME! THAT'S IT! THAT'S THE TRADITIONAL WAY YOU LEARN!
 * Patrick:...By watching movies?
 * SpongeBob: Nope. With...(Makes a rainbow with his hands) IMAGINAAAAATIOOON!
 * Sandy: Now hold on just a rootin-tootin second! This sounds a bit silly when you think about it. With a limited mind like Lightning's, how in the name of the Alamo are we gonna get her to live out an entire history?
 * Twilight:...I think I may have a spell for that in my library.
 * Sandy: Yep, I was expecting you did!
 * Twilight: Are you kidding? This isn't one of those random spells! It's a cousin to that spell I used to create Order City to test Discord's reformation during that Blot mission. It's like augmented reality, only with magic.
 * Icky: "Ohhh, a magical simular eh? Sounds dandy as candy!"
 * Lord Shen: "So basicly, your going to magicly simulate historic events of the wonderbolts?"
 * Starlight: "Why fake history when you can just travel back in time and-"
 * Everyone just stares blankly at Starlight....
 * Alex: "Of course YOU would suggest that."
 * Starlight: "..... Nevermind, I realise that in hindsight of certain actions and mishaps, maybe fake simulated history IS safer then the real deal."
 * Lightning Dust: "But probuly not as exciting as that OR the movie."
 * Lord Shen: "Well history was never meant to be as hollywoodingly exciting as a popcorn thriller, Miss Dust. But it is impourent to learn from it, or you will repeat it."
 * Lightning: "YA MEAN I'LL GET CAUGHT IN A TIME-LOOP IF I DON'T LEARN HISTORY!?"
 * Silence.....
 * Duke: "...... Not a very good head on her shoulders."
 * Applejack: "That kinda isn't what Shen meant, Suger cube. He means you'll end up being back in the position of the last time you failed at something."
 * Lightning Dust: "Well.... I hate being bored, but.... I kinda hate failure abit more."
 * Squidward: "So does that mean the simulation stuff starts now?"
 * Twilight: "Not exactly. The spell works better in giving you the history you want if your in the accreate location of the event that took place in it. Otherwise, if I do it in the castle, (Casts the Spell as an exsample, and everything turns into a simulation of an empty field)...... You'll just be in the history of the current area your in. In fact, this is what the field is like a day prior where I would first come into ponyville."
 * Suddenly, a simulated Snips and Snails came in.
 * Simulated Snips: "..... So, Snails..... Ya got the goods?"
 * Simulated Snails: "..... The good what?"
 * Simulated Snips: "..... THE PRETTY MARE PICTURES FROM RARITY'S PALCE, YOU IDIOT?!"
 * Simulated Snails: "..... OH YEAH! I got them! (Brings out a pile of dirty magazenes) From "Playpony", to the "X-Mares"! And Look! Check out this one of this hot blue mare with the wizard costume!"
 * Simulated Snails shows a magizene that shows Trixie in erotic undergarments.
 * Everyone stared in surprise!
 * Rarity: "..... SO THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE EROTIC LITTERATURES?!"
 * Fidget was stucked in a happy surprised face!
 * Thunderclap: "..... Uh, Great One? Why are you on those pictures?"
 * Icky: "Jesus Christ Trix, YOU WERE A PORN STAR!?"
 * Trixie: ".....That was a dark and sorrowful life in Trixie's days of yor that I wish to not repeat."
 * Rarity: "Well I thought I recinised you from somewhere the moment I saw you."
 * Fluttershy: "Uh, Rarity, why WERE you keeping those dirty magizenes?"
 * Rarity: "Well I only needed them to learn how to draw mare bodies to the most interic detail, even the more, private, details. And the magizenes that best offer that is erotic litterature."
 * Applejack: "Well see what happened when ya get them trash magizenes? Now two young colts are (Looks at the direction where the simulations are and suddenly her pupels srhunk) OHHHH?!"
 * Pinkie: "..... Why are they touching their pee-pees?"
 * Icky: "The adult word is "Penis" Pinkie, and it's obvious that those two are ma-"
 * Twilight: OKAY, SIMULATION OVER! (The simulation ended)...Whew! We didn't need to see any of those.
 * Gilda:...Well, Trixie, I don't think I can look at you the same way again. Especially since those two are so drawn to you, they want your body.
 * Trixie: (Shivers) Now I NEVER wanna be near them again! What has been seen cannot be unseen! And I thought they were too young for that!
 * Icky: "It was obvious that those two are a cause of early-age curiousity for sex. All kids start out with porn."
 * Rarity: "I do believe that I will need to have a good conversation with Snips and Snails' parents about this. Not just to get my errotic littature back, but to alarm them of maturing quicker then they have anpisipated."
 * Lightning:... Okay, how does this simulation spell work again?
 * Twilight: Well, like I said, you need to be in the exact spot the events happened in order to experience, and even interact, with what had occurred eons ago.
 * Lightning: THE WONDERBOLTS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR EONS?!?
 * Twilight:... I wouldn't say that. It's just that they... Well... Well, learning is the whole point of this. If you learn by experience and imagination, then just witnessing through flight is not going to be enough. But be warned, sometimes these simulations can be traumatic to the mind. And they're often abit more worse then two idiot boys fabbing to dirty paper books! The history of the Wonderbolts is a really graphic and violent experience, especially when you get to certain battles like those against the violent Razor Feathers.
 * Lightning: You mean those griffins that were supposed to be like the Wonderbolts for the griffins? How did they come into fighting? They're still alive and fighting, aren't they?
 * Rainbow Dash:... (Sighs) Oh my, Celestia!
 * Twilight: Just look. I'll have the map set up for your long journey, then I'll have the simulation spell cast on you. Just remember what I said about the violence. Sometimes, they might hurt both mentally AND physically. In fact, there's going to be a LOT of outer and mental magic spells that will be used here. Oak Golden is gonna have to be your guide through the whole thing.
 * Lightning: If it means I have to learn and become the hero I have always wanted to be, then I'm gonna take the chance! I don't care what historical evil is thrown at me! I'll kick his ass into the ground if he can at least feel the pain!
 * Twilight:... Then let's do it!
 * Po: "Well we'll watch over the Shineflare case while you guys are out of your way to teach Lightning alot of impourent stuff. But we'll keep watch of you guys through the spybug if there's to be unexpected trouble."
 * Lightning Dust and the Main 7 arrived.
 * Oak Golden was seen carried in a christailised compus.
 * Oak Golden: "Remind me again WHY I have been taken from the Map and transfered into a Christail Empireian Compus?"
 * Applejack: "We're assentually taken Lightning Dust on a field trip to teach her wonderbolt history. And ya'll are a libarian ghost in a sense."
 * Oak Golden: "..... Well, indeed I am. And our lucky that I did kept a decent collection of Wonderbolt history, AND I did caught up on recent events thanks to Miss Sparkle's own and larger collection. But do I still have to be in here?"
 * Twilight: "Well that's kinda because your a type of spirit that can only be inside an object. The only hope we have of taking you along is if we transfer you into another object with a powerful of mana consuming spirit transfer spell. But trust me, it's only until Lightning Learns enough."
 * Oak Golden: "Well as long as the living arrangements are temporary."
 * Lightning Dust: "Ok, guys, why are we at this dusty old building?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Your lucky that I can't be offended to something that is true. But believe it or not, this dusty old place was once the original Wonderbolt Capitcal! In fact..... IT'S THE BIRTH PLACE OF THE WONDERBOLT LINE?!"
 * Lightning Dust: "..... A building that gave birth to Wonderbolts? I kinda thought those guys had moms and dads like the rest of us."
 * Starlight: "(Face-hooves) Oh my Celestia, please tell me she's not THAT dense!?"
 * Lightning Dust: "Re-LAX, I was just joking that time! I knew what she meant."
 * Rarity: "Goodness, this palce has clearly seen better days."
 * Applejack: "Here's what I don't get though. If this place was respondsable for making the Wonderbolts happen, then why did they abandon it?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "The Wonderbolts were, NOT a well funded group back then. You'll see why in the minute."
 * The ponies entered the building.
 * Rainbow Dash: "Ok Twi, do your stuff."
 * Twilight: (Casts the spell on Lightning as the building's appearance changed from shoddy into very well as several ponies were seen, and Lightning was a part of the group)
 * General Pony (Brown-and-Red Pony in a uniform):...Well, everypony, it seems that a LOT has changed since we lost our great Princess Luna. So Celestia is counting on us to bring light to the first Celestial Year of Peace. We've been specially trained to make that possible!
 * Lightning:...Uh...who the hell is that?
 * Pony #1: Ssssh! Don't interrupt General Firefly when he's talking! It's against regulations!
 * Lightning:...("General Firefly? I've at least heard THAT name a couple of times.")
 * (Oak Golden): ("Yes. You see, this is a couple of years since Nightmare Moon was banished, and the E.U.P Guard was founded to act as a military force. This squadron was meant to shine hope to the people of Equestria by performing in the Celestial Year of Peace.")
 * General Firefly: DID SOMEPONY SAY SOMETHING?!? (Lightning was shocked, surprised that even Firefly saw her)...YOU! DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?!? HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME?!?
 * Lightning:...Uh...
 * (Oak Golden): ("Don't worry! This is just a simulation. No interaction is going to make a difference. Like Twilight said, you're going to be experiencing history through your own eyes.")
 * Lightning:...Uh, sorry, sir! Please continue!
 * General Firefly: That's a soldier! As I was saying, Celestia has been a bit...depressed that she had to banish her own sister to the moon. But we must lift her spirits with this performance!
 * Lightning:...("Wait!...Does this mean...I GET TO PERFORM AS WELL?!?")
 * (Oak Golden): ("Yes. But don't worry about screwing up the performance. Just be sure to ignore anything disruptive and just do the best you can.")
 * Lightning: ("And THIS is supposed to help me learn? I know I said I learn through experiencing, but I never realized it meant THIS degree!")
 * (Oak Golden): ("What did you expect? The Wonderbolts history was SUPPOSED to be at that degree. But don't worry. I'm sure you'll be fine. You said you wanted to fly with them, so go ahead.")
 * Lightning:...(Gulps)...Let's make her proud, General!
 * General Firefly: That's a soldier!
 * ???: "Good morrow, General I-am-named-after-a-bug."
 * Everyone looks to see a stuffy and unimpressed pony regelmen.
 * Lightning:... ("Who the hell's the stiff?")
 * (Oak Golden): ("That, would be Councilpony Stiffbutt.") (Lightning giggled softly) ("Don't laugh. Laughable as his name is, Stiffbutt is a POWERFUL pony of the Unicorn Council of his time, and was the one who gave funding the reestablished E.U.P. Guard.... Though not very good funding since the Counciler was a strong Alicorn loyalist who believed that normal ponies can't defend Equestria as well as an Alicorn can. He would be the reason why the E.U.P. wouldn't be given very strong funding until his term ends."
 * Lightning:... ("And I'm suppose to impress that jerk?")
 * (Oak Golden): ("Oh, not just him. But the Princess, and an entire crowd of ponies that have been...well...lost since the banishment of Nightmare Moon and the loss of a praised princess. This performance is supposed to not just lift spirits and declare the founding of the Wonderbolts, but it will also inspire certain inviduals to join the E.U.P Guard, and bring an era of protection.
 * Lightning:... ("I guess that could be easy enough. I mean...what exactly happened during the performance?")
 * (Oak Golden): ("You'll see. Just roll with it and play along.")
 * General Firefly: Good morning, Councilpony Stiffbutt. (Some of the soldiers snickered) I DON'T WANT NO SNICKERING IN THIS PLATOON! BE RESPECTFUL IN THE EYES OF THIS COUNCILOR! AM I CLEAR?!?
 * Soldiers and Lightning: YES, SIR!
 * General Firefly: Good! Now then, Stiffbutt, have you got any progress on the funding of the E.U.P Guard?
 * Stiffbutt: Oh, unbelievably rough. The recruits are...well...
 * General Firefly: Inexperienced?
 * Stiffbutt: Ah, they stink! The combat funds have been only 3 bits an hour! If you guys don't get your plan up and running, they might quit before anything impressive happens!
 * General Firefly: No need to worry, sir. Princess Celestia put her full trust and confidence in us. As long as my ponies remain focused and remember what I taught them, then we'll prove that ponies can do anything as long as they have a little push in the right direction.
 * Lightning:...("Are you sure I can pull this off?")
 * (Oak Golden): ("Well, to be openly honest, if it was me out there...I'd show them my own skills and techniques. That is, those that aren't THAT reckless. Maybe the Dust Clan's techniques can help make a difference. Like I said, it's just a simulation, so nothing you do will affect anything. Just give yourself a little self-confidence.")
 * Lightning Dust:...("Okay, if you say so.")
 * General Firefly: Alright, my pony brethren, we perform in 50 minutes. Get ready.
 * Soldiers and Lightning: YES, SIR!
 * General Firefly: Dismissed! (They saluted and flew out)
 * Lightning:... ("Well...what now?")
 * (Oak Golden): (Now you head over to the location of the next event. The old Celestial Coliseum 9 miles north of Canterlot.
 * Lightning:...Okay. (Flies off as the simulation fades and everything was seen by the Mane Seven)
 * Starlight:...Did it work?
 * Twilight: I was able to see everything through Lightning's eyes. She did well. Now she's heading for the Celestial Coliseum.
 * Rainbow Dash:...To be perfectly honest, I'm just glad I get to see the many historical sites of Wonderbolt history. Let's go! (They head out)

Chapter 2: Plot of the Gargoyles and King George/Arrival of Acidburn
Meanwhile, at Wonderbolt Academy... Flashback Present Flashback... Present Elsewhere, a dark and dank cave. Gargoyle Dungeon
 * Spitfire was seen walking down the hallway concerningly along with Soaren, Fleetfoot and her team.
 * They entered into the door that leads into an impourent office, where there sit some major generals, a major commander, and other impourent leaders, all over-seen by a fire-colored staillian with a cool looking wing prostetic.
 * Spitfire: "..... You..... Wanted to see us, sir?"
 * The meeting leading general: "Yes Spitfire dear. This concerns you as well."
 * Soaren: "It's, an honor to meet you at last, General Breathflame. Your daughter said great things about you and-"
 * Breathflame: "Thank you for the flattery, but it came at an imoppertune time. Alpha team, take a seat."
 * Spitfire's team did that....
 * Breathflame noticed a seat was still empty....
 * Breathflame: "..... Where is Miss Rainbow Dash?"
 * Fleetfoot: "She's away on Elemental Harmony business sir, concerning Shineflare. I, also heard she's engaged on fixing the confidence of Lightning Dust."
 * Spitfire: "But we'll be sure to make her aware of the meeting if it's exactly what I think."
 * Breathflame: "Alchourse. I respect the fact that Miss Dash wasn't at first a Wonderbolt. Now, onto impourent matters. Shorces have confirmed our worse fears..... The Gargoyles and their leader, Man-Vulture, are once again moblising and preparing their forces."
 * Soaren: "Whoa whoa whoa, wait?! I thought Equestia was cool with the Gargoyle community."
 * Breathflame: "..... Those Gargoyles are not native to this world. We speak of Gargoyles that once owned an entire sector of Equestia that used to be Gargoyumna. But, thanks to a mistake caused by an early member of the Judu Des clan, and because ansisterial Equestrians were not as enlighten to friendship back then, that's no longer the case."
 * Fleetfoot: ".... You mean..... Equestrian-native Gargoyles?"
 * Major General: "Preposterious! Equestrian native gargoyles are extinct! There's never been evidence to prove otherwise."
 * Breathflame: "That's because only the most trusted Wonderbolts knew of them.... That is until today. The Equestrian native gargoyles have begun kidnapping non-native gargoyles and began poisoning their minds with dark lies, turning them into angry vengeful drones. Like how a gang of punk Gargoyles randomly ambushed a pony bank out of nowhere. They're being radicalised. And now, I desided that I can't afford to uphold the royal promise to Celestia herself, and must make Equestia aware of a very serious problem."
 * Major General 2: "Do you have evidence suggesting this?"
 * Breathflame signeled a unicorn to come in.
 * Breathflame: "..... Proceed."
 * The Unicorn casted a spell that reveils the undeniable proof that the Native Equestian Gargoyles are well enough real, silluettes of ten gargoyles, plus a humaniod vulture beast. This surprised the meeting members, except Spitfire.
 * Breathflame: "..... That'll be all."
 * The Unicorn undoes her spell and leaves.
 * Commander: "...... How can this be? I thought the Native Equestians died out after the Pony-Gargoyle war. I-"
 * Surprise: "Wait, there was a PONY-GARGOYLE WAR!?"
 * Commander: "..... It, was a war we ponies were ashamed off and kept secret."
 * Fleetfoot: "Ok, I'm confused here, what's going on here?"
 * Breathflame: Well, you see, after thousands of years being hidden in the shadows of their secluded home of the inhospitable and strictly forbidden Goyland Caves, the gargoyles have finally decided to make their move. Just last night, they attacked Wonderbolt Team Delta's headquarters, and over 4 of it's members have disappeared.
 * Spitfire: Oh, God, they're not dead, are they?
 * Breathflame: No trace of blood was seen, and the gargoyles would never have cleaned it up in time.
 * Surprise: Hold on, I'm still lost! What's this about a Pony-Gargoyle War?
 * Breathflame:...Well, it's kind of a tragic tale which everypony was instructed to keep quiet about. It all started not too long before the founding of Equestria....
 * (Breathflame):... Clover the Clever and her future circle of friends were not the only ones who ventured out to escape the cold of the Windigo Ice Age. There was an ancient pony settlement that was located inside a dried-up, arid, and inhospitable valley which the ponies believed they were safe from the cold. However, they too suffered the cold. But what they didn't know was that Equestria, at this time, was not completely a prosperous land. It was one filled with monsters. One of the most dominating in particular was the Gargoyles. (Mysterious figures on large treacherous and unreachable elevations were seen cracking as the sunset faded and the temperatures started to drop, and the stone figures shattered and revealed monstrous beasts that roared loudly into the night, spreading their wings out wide, and had red menacing eyes that glowed ominously in the dark. Then they took off)...The Gargoyles were disturbed by the dramatic changes in the weather. They couldn't tolerate it, and when they found the source of the problem, they tried to warn the ponies about the Windigoes. But because of their beastly appearances, and the ponies' impaired distrust and hate, they shunned the Gargoyles, and they failed to listen to their warnings, and after being convinced by early barbaric ancestors of the Judu Des Clan, they threatened that any Gargoyle found on their grounds would be prosecuted and sentenced to death. Angered by the ponies harsh actions, and when constant persistence due to the conditions getting worse only lead to the ponies, particularly the Des Clan, executing gargoyle after gargoyle that failed to warn them, the Gargoyles had enough, and felt that if the ponies wouldn't listen, then they would either leave their land or die. Thus, the Pony-Gargoyle War began. (The Gargoyles armed themselves with crossbows, bows and arrows, swords, their own claws, knives, and rocks as they launched an assault on the colony) The war was long and bitter, and as the hatred between the pony tribes and their Gargoyle enemies escalated with kill after murder, the Windigoes' storms only got stronger. The Gargoyles couldn't stand the cold and had to end the war quickly. But as a result of their weakening health due to the temperatures, the dying crops, and for lack of viable resources, the ponies won. As punishment, the Gargoyles were banished from Equestria, and their lands were claimed as their own. But we didn't realize until too late that ponies were not their only enemies. It didn't take until the warnings of Clover the Clever for the ponies to realize that the Gargoyles have only been trying to warn them, and that their bitterness and cruelty had drove them to aggression in the first place. Feeling guilty and sorrowful, and swearing to treat strangers better, the Windigo Ice Age was forever wiped out. The Pony-Gargoyle War had remained one of the darkest events of pony history, and was viewed as so cruel to future generations, that in order to prevent ponies from losing hope of their own ways, they had to withhold the Pony-Gargoyle War from the public. The Pony-Gargoyle War has since been known to only those that are entrusted with it's secret.
 * Surprise:...I...that's...wow, I don't know what to say about that!
 * Breathflame: Yes. It may sound cruel, but that's how post-Chaos War and pre-Equestrian ponies were back then. The loss of the Alicorn Gods have caused the ponies to lose hope in the beliefs they cherished so greatly, and because the chaos reaped by the Draconequui left the world's landscape into a wasteland for the last hundred years, resources were scarce. Thus, the pony tribes began to care for nothing but their own welfare.
 * Soarin:...I have to admit, that really IS one of the darkest we ponies ever went.
 * Breathflame: Yes. Celestia even said that we needed to find the Gargoyles and make up for our mistreatment. But to be honest, if anypony should be blamed for that event, then it would be the Des Clan. But like the rest, they were overly bitter. After the Windigo Ice Age ended, we tried to search for the Gargoyles, but all we have ever done was fail. We feared that the Gargoyles would come back for revenge. But now, our fears have finally been realized. It's possable that the Man-Vulture appears to be serving as a negtive influence and has kept them in this desire for vengence.
 * Surprise: "..... Ok, seriously? Vulture-People? I mean, I know Equestia houses alot of freaky creatures, but come on!"
 * Breathflame: "Man-Vulture isn't nessersarly an actual Vulture Men. Real Vulture men are tribal beings. Man-Vulture was once an entirely different creature. A griffin named Mandreious Vul-Turea. A revolutionary griffin genius of his time.... That is until, an ambitious dream turned into a horrendus mistake."
 * Fleetfoot: "I have a feeling this origin story is gonna be more unpleasent."
 * (Breathflame): Mandreious was formerly a griffin scientist who was raised by ponies, and grew up fearing that Nightmare Moon's return would be inevitable. So he was among many to offer a solution to this problem. He became interested in evolving ponies into stronger forms. He offered to give them power beyond anything magic could offer. He would give pegasi stronger and bigger wings for augmented control over storms, he would give unicorns enhanced magic, and Earth ponies would be boosted in strength, stamina, and endurance, meaning easier harvests. At first, Celestia saw potential in this. But when she asked if his serum would work, and he tested it on himself...let's just say...his body was warped beyond belief. (Mandreious was seem mutating into a man-vulture beast)...(He was shocked)...
 * Mandreious: DON'T LOOK AT ME!!! I'M HIDEOUS!! I-I-I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!!! (He tries to leave)
 * (Breathflame): Celestia tried to help him, but he was just too long lost. He believed that pony society would never look at him the same way again, and he escaped without a trace. Fearing that this would corrupt him, Celestia had no choice but to restore the E.U.P Guard in order to track him down and help him. But over the next few centuries, he was never found, and fear for his return escalated. Little did we know that he had allied himself with the Gargoyles as they resided in the Goyland Caves, knowing what it was like to be shunned for beastly appearances. He sought to conquer Equestria as he got prepared for his first invasion.
 * Breathflame: And the first attack was situated on Canterlot, all in the night since Gargoyles are stone statues by day. The limited lighting made it hard to know where each attack would come from, and the Gargoyles benefitted on surprise and stealth. They showed no mercy, and injured, maimed, or even killed, many ponies until...
 * Spitfire: Until my family stood in their way.
 * Fleetfoot:... Wait, you knew about this too, Spitfire?
 * Spitfire: Yes. My father had fought against the Gargoyles. Fortunately, the secret was still kept as to this day, the ponies didn't know what struck them since they only attack at night. My family and their squadrons were able to fend off attack, after attack, after attack, considering it a priority to cover our HQ's locations.
 * Breathflame: But now I fear that things have just gotten worse. That attack on Delta Team's HQ has lead us to believe that the Gargoyles have finally found our locations, and are likely to strike another HQ tonight.
 * Soaren: "But what do they have to gain from it? We're not the only defenders of Equestia anymore! We have the elemental barers now! They can totally mop the floor with those Gargoyles and this Man-Vulture dude! They beaten a powerful demonic centaur and a skeletail alicorn! I don't think a bunch of vengeful gargoyles and a mutanted griffin pose no true problem!"
 * Breathflame: "This is the downside of not letting the public know about this. Even Princess Sparkle can't fight what she doesn't beleive to be real. That runs the risk of her and her friends being easy targets for as long as they're unaware should Man-Vulture deside getting rid of us isn't enough."
 * Fleetfoot: "Wait.... You said there was no evidence of Wonderbolts being killed in the Delta attack.... Does, that imply..... They were kidnaped? But what do they have to gain from that?"
 * Breathflame: "Man-Vulture is a genius mind.... Perhaps is not nessersarly the ponies themselves..... But their biology."
 * Surprise: "Our Bio-Whats-it?"
 * Breathflame: "It's, highly likely that Man-Vulture and the Gargoyles aren't at all ignorent of the legacies of the heroes of equestia at all.... They simply don't want to directly challnage them.... Yet..... Not without a method to get by that...... And I think he may've gotten inspiration from the Starfem situation...."
 * Spitfire: "...... You mean....?"
 * Breathflame: "Yes....... He wants to give the Gargoyle army, anti-element protection, by injection a purity serum that would protect them from the effects of being easily congured by the powers of harmony. He means to render the power useless."
 * Fleetfoot: "Bu surely he knows that with additional elements, Starfem was defeated anyway! He's wasting his time otherwise."
 * Breathflame: "That's why we're believing that the purity serum is a just in case plan. It's possable his more major plan, is simple, but direct..... Taking away at least only one of the elements from the circle, and rendering the element barers incapable to fight back from there."
 * Major General 3: "Their bond's unbreakable! No way a Gargoyle or even Man-Vulture would destroy that."
 * Breathflame: "..... He..... Has a secret weapon....."
 * Spitfire: "..... Father, do, you mean......"
 * Breathflame: "..... Spitfire....... Your brother's returned."
 * Some Wonderbolts were seen dragged by Gargoyle troops.
 * As the Wonderbolts were forcefully dragged, music was heard playing.
 * Sitting on throwne next to an empty bigger one and another throwne, a robed beast with a sword hand was seen.
 * ???: "I feel song..... Coming on."
 * Sword-Handed Gargoyle: "..... How's that for music? It's one of my own comsitions."
 * A Well-dressed Gargoyle was seen.
 * Well-dressed Gargoyle: "Oh please, Elder, you clearly ripped that off from that "Hoppet" Movie. That was about as original as a plaugerisum band."
 * The Elder: "HEY SHUT YER YAP, FRENCHY?!"
 * Well-Dressed Gargoyle: "Nice try, but only the king and a much better elder can order silence from me, you broken former shell of a gargoyle."
 * The Elder: "YA WANNA FIGHT LIKE MEN, SPINOK!?"
 * Spinok: "How surprisingly boarish for an elder to speak."
 * Elder: I'LL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU LIKE A PONY, YOU SCUM-SUCKING CROUTON!!! (The two began fighting)
 * ???: THAT...IS ENOUGH! (A cloaked skull-hatted gargoyle with rainbow wings was seen)...
 * Elder:...Oh, you're in big trouble now, cupcake!
 * Spinok: (Sighs) Oh don't flatter yourself. He's judging BOTH of us. You espeically, no doubt.
 * Wonderbolt #1: WHATEVER YOU BEASTS ARE UP TO, YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT!!!
 * Leader Gargoyle: Ah, yes, the Wonderbolts I was told we had acquired. (A specific Gargoyle with a bandaged hand, a blue shirt, and a helmet was seen)
 * Scout-like Gargoyle: Yo, boss, I gotta ask, why couldn't we just kill these lil' punks in their sleep? Yeah, we may not be able to cover it up, but wouldn't it be easier to just kill all of them in one fell swoop? I mean, come on, I don't have this here bat for show! BOINK! (Smacks a wall with it until it causes rocks to fall on him)...I meant to do that!
 * Leader Gargoyle: The order was NOT to kill them, Segnal. Man-Vulture insisted that they need to be alive for their purity to be useful. Killing them would render any purity attempt useless.
 * Segnal: "Well that sucks. Now we're gonna live in a dank smelly cave with barn smell!"
 * Spinok: "Impatient fool! If they die, so will their purity. No pony means no purity, and no purity means no defence against being easily defeated lke a bunch of insignifient nats by their rainbow powers."
 * Segnal: "Ok ok! I get it! I'm just saying living them alive isn't any fun at all! Sheesh."
 * Leader Gargoyle: "There's bound to be plenty of violence apawn ponies soon enough, you impatient blood-luster."
 * Segnal: "Yeah, espeically since those Judu Des creeps lost their edge, and they finally turned on that Golden Sword clan member! This'll be a snitch!"
 * Spinok: "They're not the only mythic beast slayers of Equestia, half-wit. There's still so many of them we would end up wasting time trying to bring it up. We're lucky caves are the only thing keeping us active in day and night, or otherwise the idea of prisoners would seem fruitless."
 * Segnal: "Yeah, but they ain't within miles of here, so we can basicly-"
 * Gargoyle Leader: "Never bring a mythic slayer's effiectentcy to question, Segnal. Overcopidence like that can get you killed."
 * Spinok: "No truer words have been spoken."
 * Gargoyle Leader: "Now..... Take the equines to the donguins. Man-Vulture will know what to do with them from there. And I want NO ATTEMPTS ON THEIR LIFES!? Not EVEN if they challnage your pride and diginty! If I heard that even so much as their manes being yanked off, you will have to answer, (picks up a rock) TO ME?! (CRUSHES THE ROCK WITH NO EFFERT?!) UNDERSTOOD?!"
 * The Gargoyle troops nodded in agreement, and dragged the Wonderbolts away from the area.
 * From another platform, an Engineer-dressed Gargoyle, a Sniper-like Gargoyle with an Australian hat and a half-mask, and a Medic-like Gargoyle with tiny wings were seen.
 * Doctor Gargoyle: "....... Dah, dummkopfs! Our kind still continutes to waste their efforts on being enemies to the equines!"
 * Engineer Gargoyle: "In all fairness, Elfwork, losing a war can pretty much make bitter losers out of ya. Now, I'm for getting back what was once ours, but it's obvious 'Equestria' as it's now called is no longer very Gargoyle worthy. No more perches for us to rest on, there's now at least more then just two Alicorns now, any remnants of our old culture lost in time. We're pretty much considered extinct, so why bother?"
 * Masked Australian Gargoyle: "... Desires for bloody revenge is the problem, mate. Thank our king for not letting our blood starving brethren having it now, but he can't hold it off forever. And that bloody Man-Vulture is being a bad influence to us and himself."
 * Doctor Gargoyle (Elfwork): "Well in retrospect, how can anyone ignore the promise of reclaiming what was once ours when they were unfairly taken away from it cause of very bad circumstances? And I'm still surprised your not among the more resentment drivin, Half-Face. You were badly injured by a pony."
 * Masked Australian Gargoyle (Half-Face): "... Grudges offer no true rewards. You'll only end up being left empty and broken."
 * Engineer Gargoyle: "Ain't that the truth. That's why I ain't entirely ornery about being the last Architect Gargoyle alive. It was obviously only a stratregic move designed to keep us from over-powering them. And hell, it's clear they ain't proud of it."
 * Elfwork: "And that's wundebar for you, Tecmeck, but the others don't see it. It's not enough for them that the ponies feel remorse for the mess the Windigoes caused them to make since they were warned too late. They refused to accept that maybe we were trying to warn them about those ice spirits in a bad time considering that they lost a majority of the mighty Alicorn race to the Chaos War."
 * ???: "And that's understandable, lads."
 * A Large, elderly and eye-patched Demoman-like Gargoyle came in hunched, and on a walking stick.
 * The Bigger Elder: "But those ponies still need to acknowledge that they shouldn't've taken their pain out of us! Also, this is more then just reclaiming land and mere vengeance. It's about reminding the world that the Gargoyle race is still the mightiest there is."
 * Elfwork: "Of course, Elder Mokoma. It is reliefing that your still more sensiable then Elder Jubbjibberstab. It's ashame that sword-handed twat gets to be the king's adviser."
 * Demoman-like Elder (Mokoma): "Make no mistake, lads. The king considers me just as impourent as ol' sword-hands. Oh I do pity Jibb for this..... I hope the hand he lost, WASN'T THE HAND THAT PLEASURES HIM IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN!?"
 * The four laughed!
 * Engineer-like Gargoyle (Tecmeck): "Or otherwise, no wonder he's so dang angry!"
 * The four laughed again!
 * ???: Oh, you all seem to be in it for your own reasons besides what Jibb was through. (The Leader Gargoyle appeared)
 * Tecmeck: Oh, uh, King George!
 * Leader Gargoyle (King George): You all have already made it clear that you are in this battle for your own reasons. Jibb is in it for the loss of his hand, Half-Face for being horribly disfigured, Tecmeck for being left the last of his kind, and sometimes even Segnal partially for s***s and giggles.
 * Mokoma: Well, sir, we're ALL supposed to be in it because the ponies took away what was ours! That's why we're ALL in it for our own personal gain. They took me bloody eye for crying out loud!
 * King George: They took more than just your looks and body parts. They took our land, our families, our friends, everything we held dear because they failed to listen to our warnings about our homes being changed by their antics. Especially me. I was the only one who put my trust in ponies, and hoped for the best that they would offer an ounce of compassion. But...
 * Tecmeck: But them varmints proved you wrong, huh?
 * King George: Yes, but it wasn't because of the Des Clan... For the most part! It's because ponies considered us beasts! They called us savages, unnatural creatures. They said themselves that we didn't deserve that land! None of those insults got to me at first. But then came the day when the Des Clan's executions and slaughtering lead many gargoyles to turn against me and the Elders. I didn't blame the Des Clan that much since I thought they were just mentally unwell. But then... They demanded we declare war. I was outraged by such words. I tried to justify that war was not going to make the situation any better as it will justify their prejudice... But then the people threatened that they would attack the settlement themselves if we didn't comply. I couldn't risk that! Such an act without Elder permission and support would've been suicide, and it would've lead the ponies to declare a genocide on the rest of us. But then things got worse even further! A rogue pony platoon had went to a gargoyle peak and smashed all the Gargoyle statues that rested on top. None of them were spared, and the few that DID survive were frozen to death by the Windigoes. THAT'S where I couldn't afford to hold it off anymore! To the eyes of too many of my subjects, that act openly declared that ponies were not welcome on our land. So, to avoid being an unpopular minority, I had to support the war. Now look where my cowardice to peer pressure had lead us. Obviously, we did not won the war! And all because we didn't just instead waited for the problem to resolve itself.
 * Tecmeck:... Wow, you sure got into a heap of trouble, your highness!
 * Elfwork: "In, all fairness, we had no way of knowing if it'll ever be resolved. Who knows how many gargoyles would die out by then?"
 * Half-Face: And then the rest was history. The cold was too much for us to handle and it caused us to lose, and get banished to this place.
 * King George: "Now the least I can do for my people is simply take our land back, no questions asked. I haven't truely given up on ponies, but I have stopped trying to make a bad situation better. Too many Gargoyles are too angry and infuriated by the sins of the war. They couldn't accept that it was all purely the fault of bad timing! It was obvious after what became of the alicorns that the last things the ponies wanted to see was any form of creature, let alone us. I mean, look at us! Do we honestly look like the first thing any troubled race wants to see after losing a majority of their gods?"
 * Elder Mokoma: "Obviously not. To them, we look like something Tartarus would spawn. I can get that, but they're the ones who really pushed it. They also took the Judu Des clan too seriously. AND it was BEFORE Dred and Shred showed up."
 * King George: "Well, at least I can acknowledge that the ponies were only guilty of submiting to their depression and the unrelenting cold of the Windigoes. But too many of my people can't see that. They're too absolute. They want them either dead or gone. And if I don't adhere to that, my crown will be given to a far worse Gargoyle who will only proceed to further demonise us."
 * Half-Face: "And that would be a pisser if that happened."
 * King George: So THAT'S why we need to do this. Our people are suffering greatly, and they are being completely unreasonable. They're just too determined to make those ponies suffer because of what they did to our homes, and our families! Too many gargoyles were killed to even allow my people to show ANY sign of mercy to them.
 * Tecmeck: Sheesh, tough crowd. Maybe we ARE beasts.
 * King George: We are NOT beasts, Half-Face! My people are just ACTING like beasts because they want revenge. And if I don't do as they say, then I WILL be replaced. Hopefully, Man-Vulture is giving us a chance to fight back against the ponies, AND be protected from the Elements of Harmony.
 * Mokoma: Well, that's dandy! Our revenge is going to be perfect. Plus, they'll never be able to find us. From what I heard, those lollipops have been searching for us for eons just to apologize, and have NEVER done so. If they didn't find us before, how will they find us NOW?
 * King George: If I were you, I wouldn't be so foolish as to underestimate those ponies. They'll figure out a way to find us no matter what we do. That's why we need to move in, and move out, leaving no visible traces behind. Darkness is a trusted friend to us, and it helps us seclude ourselves from the watchful eyes of ponies. That's our most valuable way of keeping our location a secret. Must I remind you of how Breathflame almost found Goyland Caves because of a gargoyle underestimating the opponent? That gargoyle ended up long gone, and had it not been for Half-Face and his crossbow, our cover would've been blown.
 * Half-Face: Lucky I was able to get out of there before the sun came up. If I had stayed any longer, I would've been captured as well.
 * King George: So if you think that ponies will never find us because they haven't before, then you're CLEARLY underestimating their intelligence. Was that gargoyle's death not a clear indication of that?
 * Mokoma:...Sorry, your highness.
 * King George: Now, then, I must check up on our newest ally. He did well in providing us with the locations of all the Wonderbolts' bases, as well as all their tactics and skills.
 * Tecmeck: Damn right! Sucks that the guy always hides his identity, though.
 * Wonderbolt #1: (They were thrown into the cell)... LET US OUT OF HERE YOU BEASTS!!!
 * Jibb: Watch your racist words, you little mules! Don't make me use this sword-hand!
 * Spinok: Jibb, the king ordered us to keep them ALIVE! I do not care if they use racist remarks or even if they were to insult your mother, I will not allow you to make even a single scar on their heads!
 * Jibb: You'll start to care if they start referring to you as bête, crouton!
 * Spinok: Well even then the worse I would do is reply with a witty retort and mock them on acting uncivilised about their situation, as unfortunate as it is. How the hell do you even know what that word is in French?
 * Jibb: A French pony said it before I tore out his head-hair and left him a cue-ball! The next best thing I like from killing ponies is scaring them for life?!
 * Spinok: "Oh there you again, further making yourself uncivilised. I advised you at least show the decenty to shut up before you mark a periment bad exsample in their minds."
 * Jibb: "They already hate us, frenchy! That war is proof of it! Why should I better acting like a damn Democrate to them?!"
 * ???: You'd better listen to him, Elder! (Man-Vulture himself appeared)... I mean, you DO want to be immune to the Elements of Harmony, right? It will be easy for them to use those things. You'd be defeated before you could even harm one hair on their bodies. Unless you want that to happen, you will leave these ponies alive!
 * Jibb: "Well, yeah I do want that, but THAT DOESN'T MEAN I SHOULD TAKE THOSE PONIES INSULTS AND-"
 * Man-Vulture grabs Jibb by the throat and strangles him!
 * Man-Vulture: "YES, IT DOES, IMBACLE?! They're insults are not true opinions. They are bait-words designed to trick you into trying to go after them, then take advanture of your less faster lumbering frame and lack of flight and escape! THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE RUINED?! THEY'LL REVEIL THAT THE GARGOYLES ARE INDEED STILL ALIVE AND IN HERE, WE HAD NO MEANS TO PROTECT AGAINST THEIR ELEMENTAL POWERS, AND WE'D BE OVER-WEALMED BY THE TIME PRINCESS CELESTIA EVEN ARRIVES?! (SLAMS JIBB INTO THE WALL), DO YOU UNDERSTAND, YOU SHAM OF A GARGOYLE?!"
 * Jibb: ".... (Painfully) Affirmative, Man-Vulture sir!"
 * Man-Vulture: "Good. (Lets go of the elder as he fell face first as comical sounds are heard.)"
 * Jibb's voice: "Damn it."
 * Man-Vulture turns to the wonderbolt team.....
 * Man-Vulture: "(Sighs). I would've loved it if it was the alpha team, but, I suppose these lessers will do."
 * Wonderbolt 1: "What do you want with us? And why didn't the Gargoyles killed us off?"
 * Man-Vulture: "As you most likely already heard, they obeyed my orders to not to. I'm also the reason why these people never attempted to attack Equestia by now and reclaimed the land they lost. I warned them of their weaponised harmony powers and how threats that would make them look like mere insects have failed in their own such attempts. It was so I can devise a way to get defence against these powers, and, luckly.... Such an idea came when the creature Starfem came to mind."
 * Wonderbolt 3: "Wait, you mean the freaky Bat-Pony lady?"
 * Wonderbolt 2: "Why interested in her? She was just as defeated by the elements as the rest of them."
 * Man-Vulture: "Ahhhh..... But she wasn't defeated right away by the elements, was she? Being part pony, she had purity, ergo, giving the gargoyles purity serum well serve as biological sheilds against even all the elemental gems combined."
 * Wonderbolt 4: "HA! How do you know that won't end up back-firing on you and the elements used that purity sheild against them, ya quack!?"
 * Jibb: "WHY I OUGHTA-"
 * Spinok stuffed his hand into Jibb's face.
 * Man-Vulture: "I considered that a possability. And yes, I am aware that Starfem was defeated eventally. Her drawback is that she never fully-capitialised on her purity genes. I, on the otherhand, plan to take it to an extreme messure. As for your serum back-firing throey, indeed, just giving the Gargoyles' purity and leaving them at risk of being unintentionally cured of their anger is not an inheredly perfect solution. No plan is entirely flaw-free. But, I aim to at least make it well protected from those such flaws. And I do have an emergency plan in mind."
 * ???: "Yeah, and he's walking into the room, folks."
 * A Fire-Themed Stallian was seen in a costume simular to the Shadow Bolts walked in.
 * Wonderbolts: "..... (Quietly) Acidburn."
 * Man-Vulture: "Ahh, Acid. We were just talking about you."
 * Acidburn: "And our kickass plan to devide those over-rated elemental babes by cohersing Rainbow Crash and Lightning Bust onto ourside."
 * Jibb: "Wait, I thought their names were Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust."
 * Spinok: "They're insults, you baffoon."
 * Jibb: "Oh....... HEY?!"
 * Wonderbolt 1: "Your wasting your time with this and them, Acid. Nothing breaks the elemental barers' bonds."
 * Acidburn: "Well, maybe not turning them into their oppistes or their extremes would stop them, but..... How well can they handle..... Guy trouble?"
 * Wonderbolt 2: "Wait, that depends..... Has a guy ever come inbetween their friendship?"
 * Wonderbolt 4: "Well, Trenderhoof in a sense did when he fell in love with Applejack-"
 * Acidburn: "That doesn't count! I mean, when Lightning gets too into a guy, while, according to my best shorces, she is suppose to learn more about wonderbolt history."
 * Wonderbolt 2: "..... That's your plan? Simply just, ruin Lightning Dust's chances of being a wonderbolt and then somehow drag Dash into it? I kinda doubt that would work!"
 * Acidburn: "It's smarter then it sounds. I'll make Lightning Bust so distracted from what she is suppose to do, she'll be eating from the palm of my.... Hoof. It's a known fact that Lightning Dust doesn't have a known boyfriend. She's single and has failed matchmaking many times."
 * Wonderbolt 3: "Yeah, odds are kinda against you on being able to woo her, Burn."
 * Acidburn: "But that's the thing. She doesn't know I exist. As far as she's aware, (opens his mask to reveil a normal face), I'm just another guy."
 * Wonderbolt 2: "The lougers will stop you!"
 * Acidburn: "Are YOU kidding? They don't even know we exist! And they can't stop, what doesn't exist. And don't think Sis-Fire would warn them, because thanks to Celestia's bad hapit of keeping shit a secret, as far as they're aware, she's an only child."
 * Man-Vulture: "Remember not to get careless like that. Underestimation has lead to the downfalls of greater forces before."
 * Acidburn: "Relax, Manny. I am not underestimating them. I am just insisting that by the time the misfits ARE aware, there'll be very little they can do to stop us. And now, without further ado, (removes his costume), I'm off to woe a silly over-hyping mare."
 * Acidburn flies off.
 * Jibb: "(Grumbles)..... I bet ya six Gar-coins he ends up actselly falling in love with the bitch."
 * Spinok: "10 saids your own."
 * Man-Vulture cleared his throat to order obedience.
 * Man-Vulture: "Gentlemen.... Have more faith in Acidburn then that."
 * Spinok: "I mean no ill-will on the pony. But do remember that their purity keeps them from truely following dark paths. And can't deny that vengence is in of itself, a dark path. Some careful planning, and Acidburn might end up being used against us."
 * Man-Vulture: "I never said I am not aware of it. I am merely saying to be trusting to Acidburn's abilities. But worry not. I do have a back-up plan should Acidburn's purity get cleansed from it's current taint from his, rather unfortunate past. Elfwork insisted that a speical spell will keep his purity from being untainted for as long as the spell itself isn't cleasned, nor that of it's original caster. By all means, I trust Acid as an individual and a partner. It's that purity is the trust issue. And for as long as the spell is stable and nothing happens to cleanse it or the caster Elfwork, then I think Acidburn would stay a relieable ally."
 * Spinok: "But alchourse sir."
 * Jibb: "I'm still not withholding my bet!"
 * Spinok: "Then someone will be a few pretty gar-penny short, then. (Laughs as Jib growls)."
 * Man-Vulture: "If you two are gonna bicker, take it outside. I need silence when I commence to collect samples."
 * The two Gargoyles leave as Man-Vulture bared his claws to the Wonderbolts as the shadow of the hidious claws are seen casted over them.
 * Man-Vulture: "I promise you..... The Pain, will be brief."
