Well, I'm starting this sooner than expected. I was bored. Just to warn you, this is not top priority for me. So, it probably won't be updated regularly. Course, the last one wasn't. Anyways, we are going to start at the end of the last chapter of the last story. Enjoy.
Moments after the flashlight eyes lit up, the pony figure launched into the sky. It had a grace that made Derpy look like Wonderbolt material. It flew threw the clouds, screaming, the voice sounding slightly robotic. "AAAAAAHHHHHH! HIT THE BRAKES! HIT THE BRAKES! WHERE ARE THE BREAKS!?"
It continued to speed through the sky, evntually crashing into the castle in the Everfree. "Woah." It's voice showed that whoever this was, they were disoriented. They slowly stood up. "I guess this metal really is perfect for this. Not a single scratch on it." The moon shone through the hole in the roof, revealing the suit was a real silvery color and had a set of wings and a horn. "It could use a different color, though. Kinda plain right now. Time to fly back to Ponyville and practice some more." The bottom of their hooves lit up and they tried to go up, but instead just got flung through a wall, making a hole in it and them landing on the other side of the gap. "Okay. Maybe walking won't be so bad. Could use practice doing that as well."
A roar caught their attention. They stood up and seen a manticore that seemed to have recently been in a fight. "I think that might be the manticore Sprocket beat up. But, makes for easier practice." They chuckled nervously and backed up slightly from the beast. It lunged towards them, but a pair of guns came out of the wings and blasted the thing with an electrical pulse. "Huh. Cool. I wonder." They let out a grunt of concentration, and the horn began glowing before shooting out a blast, itself. "Awesome! I knew it was a great idea doing this!" The manticore then tackled the metal pony, only to get blasted off by it's hooves. "I could definetly get used to this." The manticore growled a them before running off. "Ya! That's it! Run off like a coward!" The pony then began walking back to Ponyville with an air of superiority in it's stride.
It arrived back where it started after a couple hours of walking. "This is the greatest idea yet! A true super hero! But, what'll be the name. Ah, whatever. The citiaens of Ponyville will probably come up with a name." After a few moments, the suit opened up and whever was inside climbed out. and whoever was in it carried it somewhere before covering it up with leaves, making it look like a bush. A yawning voice then said, "Painting it tomorrow." Then, they walked off.
The next day
Sprocket and Applejack both headed towards Ponyville. They were meeting up with the other Elements of Harmony for a picnic. The two were walking close to one another, occasionally giving the other a kiss or a nuzzle. "Ah can't wait fer this picnic. Didja pack everythin'?"
Sprocket nodded. "Yes. I have the apple pie, apple fritters and apples. I even have a small case of pre-season cider."
"What about the blanket?" Sprocket's eyes widened as he realized he didn't pack that. "Yall fergot the blanket."
"Yes. Sorry. I guess I just overlooked it as I was packing everything."
"It's a'right. Ah'm sure the only one that'll mind is Rarity. Unless one a them packed a spare, just in case."
Sprocket chuckled. "From what I've seen, Twilight will. She's prepared for the end of all Equestria by way of an army of mutated gerbils." He and Applejack shared a good laugh. "But, honestly, she is over-prepared."
"Ya. Ah know whatcha mean."
The two were the first to arrive at the hill where the picnic was to take place. They didn't mind any as that gave them some peace to share as they waited. After a few minutes, Rarity arrived, wearing a sunhat and sunglasses. "Oh, hello there. I didn't expect you two to be here first."
Sprocket shrugged. "Guess we were just wanting to enjoy the air so much we got everything done quickly. So, how have you been?"
"Simply wonderful, darling. I'm currently working on this new fashion line that is simply magnificent. What about the two of you? Still having a lovely relationship?"
Applejack and Sprocket nodded. "Ya. We've been havin' a wonderful time."
"Yes. She helps me whenever I get inspiration for a project and I help out around the farm. May be hard work, but it is very enjoyable."
Rarity grimaced slightly. "Well, to each their own, I suppose." She then gently laid her pillow down, and was about to set down the tea pot, when she realized there was no blanket. "Where is the blanket?"
"I forgot about it when I was packing. But, I got everything else."
"Well, let's hope Twilight comes with a blanket." The three began talking about everything. The others arrived and all, but Fluttershy joined in the conversation.
Twilight and Spike were the last to arrive. "Sorry about being late, everypony. I lost track of time with my studies."
"Oh, that is quite alright, dear. You wouldn't happen to have brought a spare blanket, would you? Sprocket and Applejack forgot to grab theirs."
Twilight nodded. "I always bring a spare." She levitated the blanket out and laid it out in the grass, all the food and drinks being set down on it. "So, Sprocket. Have you been working on anything lately?"
"I always work on stuff. Though, a lot more is going to be secret. I'm still curious about where one set of sketches of the newest thing went."
"Don't worry about it. Yall made new ones."
"I know. It's just, if they fell into the wrong hooves, well it could be really bad."
location unknown
The suit closed up. This time, it was painted blue with red accents. "Alright. This is cooler now. Let's practice just hovering before going into all out flight." They began hovering just inches above the ground. "Alright. Increase height." They went up a few feet. "Okay. Now for moving." They began slowly moving around the area they were in, staying steady. They did one, slow front flip. "Okay. Let's pick up the pace." They began flying from tree to tree at a good pace, being able to stop before they crashed into a tree, even learning how to go backwards. "Okay. Time for a real flight test. Destination: Cloudsdale. Need to work on a way to not have the voice come out of the suit." Soon, the suit was rocketin skyward, leaving a red streak from the boosters behind it that could be seen for miles.
at the park
The group was laughing when Pinkie seen the red streak. "OOooo! Pretty! Anypony know what that is?" They all looked towards where her hoof was pointing.
They all shook their heads. "I'm not sure, but, it looks kinda like flames. But, no flames should be that long. Unless, of course, they have some sort of funnel, but, then it should be too heavy to fly using flames alone." Everypony looked at Sprocket. "What!? I research this kind of thing! It's something you need to know in my field of expertise."
"You're a bigger egghead than Twilight."
Sprocket only smirked. "I'll take it as a compliment. And, compared to other things I've been called, it is." He focused his attention towards the streak that was just about gone. "well, I guess it really isn't that important." The group then went back to conversing, though Sprocket still thought about the streak they had seen.
Cloudsdale
The metal pony flew into the city, startling some of the ponies as they only seen a blue and red blur, followed by a red streak. "This is great! Best! Feeling! Ever!" They continued flying through the city, dodging the buildings, expertly. They then flew up to overlook the city, and hovered. "This needs to be done more often."
They were brought out of their thoughts by somepony clearing their throats. They turned and seen a police officer. "Fancy suit ya got their. But, the speed you were flying through the city was dangerous. and you could have seriously hurt somepony."
"sorry officer. I was just enjoying flying too much." They bervously rubbed the back of their head.
"Ya, well, take the suit off. You're coming with me."
The officer moved towards the metal pony, but they just blasted up and back down, dazing the officer, long enough for them to have a good lead on him. He quickly followed, but he wasn't catching up with them. In fact, they were pulling away. He eventually stopped. "Ah well. If they return, I'll get them then." He flew back to the city.
The pony noticed he wasn't following, so they stopped. "That was close. Need to be more careful next time."
They were about to fly off, when they noticed a dad and son on a cloud, apparrently having a flying lesson. They hovered there to watch it. The son took a leap off the cloud and hovered a few seconds before they fell towards the ground. The pony didn't even think twice before flying in and catching the colt before he could fall more than a few feet. Also acting faster than the father. They set them back down on the cloud, and the father smiled at them. "Thank you for saving my son, even though I would have done it myself."
The pony shrugged. "I was only reacting to a situation."
"Well, could I at least get your name, sir?"
The pony paused for a few seconds before blurting out, "Steel Stallion."
The son smiled as his wings buzzed. "Well, thank you mister, Steel Stallion! Your suit is awesome."
Steel Stallion chuckled. "Thanks. Well, gotta jet." They then flew off.
"Now, let's get back to practice, shall we?"
that evening, Steel Stallion's base
Steel Stallion was hovering around the area, talking to himself. "This is totally gonna be so awesome! It can totally become a full-time gig! Steel Stallion is gonna be famous! Known throughout all Equestria and loved by all! Everypony will know his name. A yawn broke the one sided conversation. "But, first, I'd say it's time for bed." The same procedure happened again, and whoever was Steel Stallion walked away, unseen.
Well, when I got started, I couldn't stop. I'm sue you can all guess who he's a parody of. That's right Deadpool! Kidding. Anyways, hope you all enjoyed this. Review! And tell me who you think Steel Stallion is. I will say it is not Snowflake, or Bulk Biceps, as he is now called.
