Chasing the Skies

by Galarigirl129

This story takes place years after the events of Magical Mystery Cure. Storm Chaser is Rainbow's best weather pony, and the top of her class in the wonderbolts academy. Rainbow is a year older than Storm Chaser and taught her everything she knows, and is her idol. Things take a turn for the worst when Storm Chaser is injured in a wonderbolt practice, rendering her wings useless.

Prologue: The Fall

"Faster Storm Chaser!" Spitfire yelled. Storm Chaser pumped her wings faster, harder. She was destined to be a wonderbolt, just like her role model, Rainbow Dash. By this time, Rainbow had become a wonderbolt, but only just started, but she was already the best flier in the group, next to Spitfire anyway. Storm Chaser focused hard on impressing her mentor and role model. She saw two other ponies.

"Soarin and Fleetfoot" She said, as she had seen them preform many times before.

"Don't go easy on her! Push her! She needs this training if she is ever to be considered becoming a wonderbolt!" Spitfire yelled at the top of her lungs. Fluttershy had arrived at this point and pulled Rainbow away. Storm Chaser guessed back to Ponyville, Rainbow Dash was still the main weather pony there, and there was some rain scheduled for that afternoon. Being in Rainbow's weather pony staff, she understood her absence. Soarin and Fleetfoot closed in on her. They looked into each other's eyes. Storm Chaser ignored the gesture and flew faster. Her wings ached with fatigue, but she pressed on harder. The two wonderbolts flew faster and flew very close to her. Her wings clipped theirs and she fell. She had lost all control in her wings because she was just too tired to be able to keep herself up. Soarin and Fleetfoot didn't notice her absents and continued flying.

"Storm Chaser! What are you doing!?" Spitfire yelled. Storm Chaser fell she had rotated on her back to try to do an emergency fly maneuver, but her wings would not cooperate. She crashed hard into the ground. "Storm Chaser!" Spitfire yelled when she realized that Storm Chaser was not getting up. She was still semi-conscious and both her wings were badly injured. She couldn't feel either one of them, let alone move them. She moaned in agony while Spitfire and the two wonderbolts responsible for her crash flew much faster than they do during a performance. Storm Chaser's vision was blurry. "Storm, we will take care of you." Spitfire said calmly. Spitfire flipped Storm Chaser off of her back. "Oh my gosh." She said shocked. Cloud Chaser's wings we're very battered and broken. Spitfire stepped back. "Soarin, Fleetfoot, get the chariot and get Lighting Streak and Rapidfire. You two are dismissed. Go to your quarters and stay there until you are excused." Spitfire said angrily. The two wonderbolts saluted her and flew off. Storm Chaser blacked out.
