All Elements Born, Six years old each.
Canterlot Castle/Infernos Room
He was getting ready for school and was facing the mirror fixing his mane. His mane was a neon blue color with dark red fur and his cutie mark was a fist holding a lighting bolt. He didn't exactly know what it meant or why it was a fist but it was cool and that's all that matters.
"Hurry honey you don't want to be late for school and miss your marefriend SpitFire" said a voice from the door.
"Mom were not together" said Inferno.
She snickered and walked away. He and SpitFire have been friends ever since that incident at elementary school. He had a feeling for her but it would always go away now and then, but he never knew if she had a feeling for him.
He grabbed his saddle bag and flew out his balcony and straight to his school. Although he wasn't a Alicorn he liked being a Pegasus because of the flying and just able to go anywhere with them.
As he reached the school he saw SpitFire waiting with her friend Soarin. He meet him two years ago and they became good friends. Inferno flew in right on there conversation.
"So the name is The WonderBolts, got it" she said.
"Oh hey Inferno I have some great news...it's career day isn't that exciting" said Soarin.
Inferno heard this and walked right past them and into the school without saying one word.
"What wrong with him" said Soaring," I thought he'd boast about how his moms the Princess".
"He doesn't like to talk about, its very fragile for him" said SpitFire.
"What could be the worst, huh what his dad died on a train crash or maybe he hit his head to hard on a pole, right" said Soarin.
"His father died by OUR own military forces on a undercover mission, dang I thought you would be a better pony on this topic but I guess you aren't" said SpitFire walking away from Soarin and started looking for Inferno.
Inferno reached the achievement wall in the school. It had pony's who were benefiting the school and Equestria in total. He glanced at the pictures of the hard working pony's. Some made a devise that purifies the water and some that helped clean up the littered areas. Even his friends SpitFire and Soarin were on the "Most Likely To Achieve" part of the board.
This made him happy for those who were actually helping the pony's but he felt empty inside as he promised that he would help pony's in trouble and protect them with his life. He's saw pony's get in fights against other weaker pony's and he stood there watching all of this happen.
"I'm sorry father I failed you, I never lived up to my promise, now you probably hate me for this" Inferno said with tears in his eyes and them running down his face to the floor. He wiped them up and fixed himself not wanting to draw attention.
"Hey Inferno I found you, I've looked every where for you...are you crying" said SpitFire.
"No,no I was just thinking of the good times I had with my dad even thought I can't remember some of them" said Inferno.
"Look I know that was a deep subject for you but I know he's proud of you even if you fail him, he's your father and no matter what he's going to love you" said SpitFire.
"Thanks Spit, but can I ask you something that's been on my mind"
"Sure, what is it"
"Would you like to be my ma-
"Well,well,well if it isn't Inferno and his little Marefriend" said a voice from behind him.
"Shut up Butch, just leave us alone it I'll tell your mom" said SpitFire.
"Go ahead, and if you do I will break your body in half" said Butch.
"Fine I'm a go tell her" said SpitFire.
As she turned away But h grabbed her by her hoof and raised his strong hoof. Inferno turned around to see what the commotion was about and he saw Butch raise his hoof and then punch SlitFire in the face.
She fell to the floor with blood coming out her mouth and then Butch started stomping on her and then all of his goons started joining in.
Inferno felt something in his mind crack and a fire in his heart go out. It was replaced by a blue flame with something inside it...Anger.

Canterlot Briefing Room
"Ma'm this is urgent you have to see this"
"What is it General" said Celestia.
"The Moon is producing a large energy field that is only matched by yours"
"It is time" she said.
"What shall we do"
"We wait, in time the Elements will reveal themselves and them we take action" she said.
"Ok but how do we know what ponys are the Elements I mean there are like billions of pony's and six elements how do we find them"
"Leave that to me General" Celestia then walked out the room and into the large corridor.

Canterlot Royal Middle School
Inferno ran over to Butch and his gang beating the life out of SpitFire. He cleared his mind and jumped on the nearest goon stomping Spit.
Time slowed down as he pounced on the goon. Every moment was slowed even when the crowd around them slowed in time. Inferno brought his right hoof back and slammed it into the goons face, blood poured out his nose and then time regained itself.
All the goons stepped back even Butch as they were startled by the sudden knock out.
"So Inferno wants to save his little mare, well fine have her she's useless any way" said But spitting on her.
"I promised my father I would protect pony's that are defenseless and you are the threat" said Inferno in a angry voice.
"Oh you mean your DEAD father" said Butch smiling.
Inferno snapped, he had it with Butchs insults and lunged forward into butch. Inferno slammed his hoofs into Butchs face until blood was flowing like a river and created a puddle. Butchs goons threw Inferno off but he managed to get right back up and slam his hoofs into two goons.
There was only one left and he started to run. Inferno saw this an chased after him. The goon ran down the stairs and Inferno knew it would take long to get down the stairs. He did the dangerous, he jumped from the stairs and onto the goons back and hearing a CRACK sound he got off and saw the goon crying in pain.
As Inferno smiled he was stunned by a spell that caused him to fall to the ground and black out.

Commander Red Inferno
November 23, 1981
Canterlot Hospital
"Keep pushing Princess I can see its head" said the doctor.
"Honey keep calm and breath your almost there" said Inferno holding Celestia's hoof.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHH"
She screamed in pain as her baby was almost out her body. She cried in pain and Inferno wiped the tears of her face and kept comforting her.
After 10 more minutes of exhausting pain all you could hear was the crying of a foal and see the smiles of two happy parents.
"What...what are we going to name...
"Him"said the doctor passing the foal to Celestia.
"I don't know it's so wonderful I can't think of a name right now" said Inferno.
"How about after his father, Red Inferno, its a nice name and it fits his appearance" said the tired Celestia.
"That would be great" said Inferno as he curled next to the sleeping baby and his wife.

Canterlot Hospital
Inferno slowly opened his eyes to see himself in the hospital with bandages over his body and pain in his left side. As he stood up from the bed he saw his mother standing there with a displeased face and anger in her eyes.
"Mom I'm so sorry I had to fight it was that they were hurting SpitFire and I had to-
"It's alright son, I heard it all from SpitFire" said Celestia.
"She's alright,were is she" said a worried Inferno.
"She's good for now but she has to get some rest for she has bruises over her body" said Celestia.
Inferno sighed and his mother came next to him and and hugged him.
"Your just like your father, will give up anything to see a pony smile and would give his life to see any pony smile and live happy" said Celestia.
"I know mom, its just I never really got to talk to him and asked about his life" said Inferno.
"He was a brave pony with the heart of a butterfly and the appearance of a Lion, nothing scared him only seeing me or you get hurt, you have his personality. Brave,Heroic,Confident, and most importantly Strong. Now I've payed the medical bills and I want to ask you something Red Inferno something Very Important"
He never heard his mom say his name before. It was a rare when she said his first name but by the name he choses to go by.
"I'm asking you to join the Equestria Special Forces, you may decline but if you accept this task you would leave immediately by sunrise and train for 15 years and then come back by the time you are 29" said his mother.
He knew she wanted him to be more happy but the death of his father made her unhappy and she needed time to look for some pony else in her life.
"I accept" Inferno said.
His mothers eyes went wide and she hugged him instantly. He smiled and the pain of his left side took over but he ignored it.
"I love you son you matter so much to me, please don't go like your father" she said as tears hit Infernos shoulder.
"I won't mom, I promise that"
