Born With the Wind Ch.1
Off to the edge of Cloudsdale was the revered flight school. A place known where just about every Pegasus learned to fly. The camp also doubled as the royal air force base. This would end up being the growing place for a young Pegasus with nothing but his name...
"Wow so what exactly do you know about it?" A Pegasus with a mane that looked like fire asked.
"I know just about all of it, if you have the time I could tell you the story." A Pegasus replied.
"Sure I got a lot of time right now, lets here it, Cyclone!" The fire headed Pegasus replied.
"You know my name isn't Cyclone, Spitfire! It's Gale Force!" The other Pegasus replied.
I know, I know, but what fun would it be if I called you something every pony else did? Spitfire asked with a chuckle, as she grabbed his tail and a questionable bottle, and squeezed some red liquid on his tail.
"Ok that's fine, but don't use so much stuff just do like the top half red. Now how I gained my talent? I guess ill tell you from the beginning". Gale Force said
"Well I was raised at the royal air force base..."
It was stormy in Cloudsdale, a knock at the door of the admin building of the air base.
A Pegasus pony with a brown color, dark blue eyes, and a black mane answered. He had five 'o' clock shadow.
"Can I help you?" The dark haired pony asked.
The two ponies who were there only handed him the item in their hooves, it was a young Pegasus baby, with a dark blue color, and dark, dark brown eyes, and mane that was also dark, dark brown. One of the main things he noticed about the baby in his hooves, was his wing size, they were a bit larger than a normal baby's wings would be.
"Please take him; we don't want him to have the same fate we will end up with." Said the male Pegasus in a coat and hat covering his face.
"Please just make sure he is taken care of, my little Gale Force". The female in a hat and coat asked.
The dark haired Pegasus now with a baby couldn't find himself to say no, and he seemingly resented his decision. As the two, once were parents flew off to never be seen again.
Once he was old enough to walk, the Pegasus who received him that night months ago, told the private who was watching him that day that he is going to be enrolled soon.
As soon as he could walk, and before he could even talk, he was in flight school. The Pegasus made sure he wouldn't haft to watch the baby, since he had to watch over a bunch of trainees as it was.
"Captain Watchdog!" A voice came from the distance.
"What is it private?" Watchdog replied as he stood in front of a small group of trainees
The female private who was holding a familiar toddler had some important news.
"Captain, Gale Force is hovering, he only just started moving his wings and he's hovering." The private said as she held a smiling young Gale Force in her hooves.
"Well then that just means the school is doing its job." Watchdog replied coldly.
"No, he has only been there once, and most babies sometimes get a few inches off the ground if even, but Gale Force is hovering like a young Pegasus on the verge of flight." The private said with so much amazement.
"Well once he learns to fly, he's out of here, and out of my hair." Watchdog said with almost joy.
"Sir..." the private said nearly heart broken.
"Sir you cant you can't do that, if he does continue at this rate he cold fly by the time he is two!" The private defended.
"Hmmm….. fine private, but I'm not taking care of him. He was given to me, but I never agreed to watch him. I don't see why we don't just put him up for adoption". Watchdog said.
"Sir we can't so that, what if his parents come back?" The private asked as she tickled a young Gale Force and made him giggle.
"Their not coming back private... look if he does graduate early, then he can stay until he reaches the age most ponies are when they can join the royal guard". Watchdog said with a sigh.
"So there is a heart in there." The private said with a smirk and a sense of satisfaction.
A few years had passed and an older Gale Force zoomed through the skies. He had pretty much no worries, no problems, and no responsibilities. He was about thirteen years old now, and he didn't even need to bother with flight camp. He graduated flight camp seven years ago, more than half the age of a normal Pegasus. He may not have needed to go to flight camp anymore but he would pop in so he could try to make friends.
"Hey coach!" A younger Gale force greeted the coach of the camp.
"Hey, well if it isn't Ace, you gonna come and teach my class today?" The coach greeted with a smile and chuckle.
People called Gale Force by the name Ace, mainly because he graduated so early, but also because he wasn't only a quick learned flyer, he was a great flyer. His long wings proved that. Normally it wasn't very unheard of for a Pegasus to have long wings, but his wings were a bit longer for his age, some people said that when he completely grew into them, they would make him look like he was royalty. People say he was born with the wind itself.
"Haha, no way coach, I'm just here to play, it's almost break time right?" Gale Force replied
"Yeah, go ahead and head to the play ground, they will all be there soon." The coach replied with a chuckle.
Gale Force flew down to the playground and started on the swings. They were his favorite, because if he couldn't fly, those always made him feel like he could.
Once he started swinging, he noticed two ponies coming towards him, but he wished they weren't.
It was the inverted twins sparks and boom. Sparks was the orange Pegasus with a green mane, and Boom and a green Pegasus with an orange mane. They both had grey eyes, but the odd thing was sparks had an explosion for a cutie mark, and Boom had orange and yellow sparks for a cutie mark.
"Well is it isn't this a treat, the pony of the wind, here!" Sparks said sarcastically
"To what do we owe this honor?" Boom asked, adding on to his brother's sarcasm.
"I'm just here to play guys..." Gale Force said calmly, trying to avoid his expected fate.
"Well we wanna play too." Sparks and boom replied.
They managed to get him off the swing and they flicked their wings and began to fly around him, creating a tornado. They stopped but the tornado stayed in place with the young, long winged Pegasus inside.
Once he finished spinning he landed upside down just as the rest of the ponies arrived outside, and laughed at his odd position.
Gale Force got used to this prank some time ago. And he had a feeling it wouldn't be stopping any time soon. It was because of these two ponies that he didn't like to boast about his accomplishments after seeing what they were like when they got their cutie marks at the same time. It was a little frustrating since he was yet to have his, yet most ponies his age had theirs.
The pranks kept up just about every day for a while. Once the twins finally graduated he expected to be free from the spinning, but his heart sunk when he learned that both brothers decided to join the royal guard, and being two years older, they were able to start junior training.
Gale Force loved to just get away from everything that bothered him. He was thankful for every thing he had, which was pretty much the wings on his back, and knowing some nice ponies. But when he needed to clear his head he had a special open space no pony seemed to know about, and he would just think, and lose himself in the peace.
About three years had passed since the brothers had gone into the junior training, and they never forgot to give Gale Force his daily twister, but today seemed different. Gale Force usually let it pass, but something inside of told him it was time for a change.
Once the brothers gave him their surprise attack, and trapped him in their twister, Gale Force made his move. He tried to break out, but it was too strong. It kept spinning him, but he straightened himself, and he was trying to fly straight up, but he couldn't get free. While he was positioned like he was, he started spinning as though he was doing a barrel roll, but his wings were spread out completely. He didn't get extremely dizzy but he noticed the wind he was making, and decided to go with it. He spun with the tornado, and begun to over take the tornado, sending the twin brothers in opposite directions. He was extremely amazed at that, and the brothers seemed stunned…
After that event, Gale Force would find time and practice everyday to see if he could do that again.
The two brothers left Gale Force alone for a while, but not because of the twister event, but because they were training like all the other royal Pegasus guards. All of the guards were training, because the decision of who would be the new captain for the royal guard was coming close. And so was the young Pegasus' chance for payback….
