AHA WOCL Final words

Sorry. The Extra Chapters take a while since I'm working on two other stories.

NEXT COMING EXTRA CHAPTER- Deleted Scenes.

(Based on the Ace Combat Zero interviews. I just made this for fun. Not trying to take everything or something like that. Just for fun.)
(Instead of just the ace pilots, it's every character except for the OCs. If you want to make one, put it in the reviews.)

*Interviews obviously take place after the story*

Keep in mind that some are short because there's not much to say.


(Twilight Sparkle)
-She was one of the closest friends of all the Arion Squadron. Also, she assisted them by making a book only for them on maneuvers and survival in the conditions in the sky.
Occupation: Ponyville Librarian.

Twilight put down her book on her desk and cleared her throat. "When I first heard about the Equestrian Royal Air Force, I thought it was just for the Pegasi ponies to fly with their wings." She laughed to herself. "But when HandyFlash told me about the jet aircrafts from his mother and father's project,…" She looked out her library window and frowned. "I said to myself: 'My friends are really going to the next level of flying? What if they get hurt?'. During that day, I focused on being proud of them. Me and the rest of my friends always visited them at Canterlot while Spike was staying in my library for a rest. I'm just scared they might risk their lives at some point. Soon their popularity grew by the name of 'Wing Feathers of Celestia and Luna' or called by their original name, Arion Squadron."

Twilight looked down at her hooves. "My brother, Shining Armor, told me about it. Their teamwork, skills, and friendship is strong just like me and my friends. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were my first friends when I arrived at Ponyville. HandyFlash helped me on my experiments, Dumbbell and Derpy knew Rainbow Dash, and Flitter, Cloudchaser, Thunderlane, and Blossomforth were the ones I met in the Pegasi Tornado." She explained how she knew the nine Arion members.

"If they see this, tell them Twilight said this: 'Thank you for everything. Please stay strong like the Phoenix as you all say.'

(Applejack)
Occupation: Ponyville Apple Farmer.

Applejack took a sip other apple cider and set it down on the picnic table. "Ah have done dangerous stunts before, but not like those Arion Squadron members. Taking down those thingamajigs by style and even showing off their moves to all of us." She looked up and saw a few pegasi ponies passing by heading towards Cloudsdale.

"If ah had a bottle of Apple Cider, I would pour it in nine mugs and celebrate with em." Applejack laughed. "Ah bet Rainbow Dash would want more than one mug. She wants to just stay up like Pinkie Pie celebrating their victory."

"Ah wonder what it's like to fly those thing with them. It's probably like magic."

(*Pinkamena Diane Pie* Pinkie Pie)
Occupation: Ponyville Baker.

"Those things they flew looked pretty fun to ride on. I've always wanted tone in it, but Dash kept saying it isn't really safe to go on it."

Pinkie Pie took out a cake from the oven and set it on the table. She licked her lips with her eager eyes staring at the dessert. "If I made cake for them, I would slice it and give them some and party like this Pinky Pony." She pointed at herself.

(Rarity)
Occupation: Ponyville Boutique Owner.

"As I expected them to be. Outstanding." She smiled while working on her sewing machine for a dress. The noise it made reminded her of the cannon fire from the jets. She laughed at herself thinking about Equestrian Military Technology.

"Oh me. Every time I think about them, I always call them my angels. Not only for me, but for all of us. Just like what happened in Saddle-Arabia." She remembered that day and smiled. Then she looked down at her dress.

"Ugh! I messed up. I apologize."

(Handel)
Occupation: Canterlot Lead Inventor.

"As the father of HandyFlash, Arion Squadron's leader, I always have to keep an eye on him." Handel put down his hammer by unicorn magic. "I'm proud of my son. There are no regrets from me for him being born as my son. A naturally born inventor, ace pilot, and leader. They grow up fast don't they?" He laughed.

Handel looked up at the ceiling window, remembering the day when Canterlot was under attack. "I still can't believe he survived that day after all what he has been through. Sometimes, I think I was irresponsible from that day. I shouldn't be. He had the courage to save all of us."

"When he grows up and has a family, I bet he can understand how I felt."

(Florence)
Occupation: Canterlot Professional Alchemist.

"That day still haunts me. Seeing my son in critical condition after he and his team saved us." Florence shook her head. "Like my husband said, I felt like a bad mother that day. He was on his own to make a decision."

She smiled and laughed. "But hey, he needs to get used to being all grown up now. Remembering giving him his bottle when he was just a little colt. Now a full grown stallion protecting his country and also an inventor like his father."

"I love my son, and I always will."

(Summer Light and Night Glare)
Occupation: N/A

Summer Light looked at her wings and flapped them as Night Glare smiled at how she wanted to practice flying. Summer Light looked up on the sky since they were at a park.

Night Glare spoke first. "Our big brother, HandyFlash, always cared about something. Us, and even his friends who joined the Air Force." She said.

Summer Light nodded. "He wanted to make sure that his flight would be okay during their training and flights. I myself would worry about it to. When you become one, somepony will always have your back they say."

Night Glare smiled and looked at her sister. "Well, big brother will watch our backs. He protects us all the time."

(Shining Armor)
-A stallion that served in the Changnian War years ago just to follow his dreams to become a Canterlot Royal Guard. He cares about his brother and sisters in arms, just like everypony else serving Equestria and its allies.
Occupation: Royal Guard Captain/ Equestrian Special Operation Force, Leader of Gold Team.

"I may be one of the bravest warriors on the ground, but the Wing Feathers of Celestia and Luna, aka Arion flight, they already own the sky." He set down his spear and his M1L on the table next to him. "The only chance when I got to meet them is when Operation Green Fog was a go. It's when we were to find Princess Luna." He looked up in the sky when three planes passed by for flight training. "I remember their first takeoff and flight to Baltimare I heard. But today, they're known as heros of Equestria for stopping that Razor Whisk stallion."

He picked up his M1L and examined it. "I would've finished him off if he wasn't a pilot. This has been with me ever since I graduated in the Equestrian Special Operations Force in the Celestial Rangers. But HandyFlash had to do the job." He smiled and put down his M1L.

"What him and his team did at Zial's Border, they all saved Princess Luna's life and prevented the plan by Razor Whisk to destroy the moon. Everyone including Devsalis watched their effort until they won." He sighed by his pass friend during the war. "And I bet even Zial saw their flying." He mentioned Salin's older brother.

Shining Armor looked at his hooves and chuckled. "Those nine are becoming warriors just like myself and my buddies. I'm sure they would love to meet them."

(Princess Cadance)
Occupation: Princess of the Crystal Kingdom.

"The attack on my kingdom by this Razor Whisk stallion was honestly more scarier than King Sombra's attack and occupation. Razor Whisk wanted the Crystal Kingdom to be destroyed in a quiet ruin of crystals." She sat still in her throne and looked outside the window and back. She sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

"I can't believe they took down that sunspot weapon by themselves by just their jets. It's like angels protecting all of us."

"Angels. They probably are, don't you think?" She chuckled.

(Princess Celestia)
Occupation: Celestial Princess of Equestria.

Princess Celestia sat down quietly and spoke. "Those flyers are quite aggressive aren't they?" She gave a small smile. "The Wing Feathers of Celestia and Luna was all I heard when they were in the air. It's kind of funny to hear that they used me and my little sister's name in what they call them." She rubbed the base of her wing and laughed quietly. "Arion flight knew what they had to do in the clouds on top of us. Their teamwork and skills were just flawless like more than my flying except on Sir Handel and Mrs. Florence aircrafts."

Celestia looked down as sparkling tears drained from her eyes. "If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be sitting here talking in this chair." She used her magic to pick up a small tissue and whipped her eyes. "That day, I was guilty for almost making their lives disappear. But…they just didn't want to lose against that…Devil Razor Whisk. They even saved my dear little sister."

She looked up and showed her shining eyes by the tears. "If they see this, I like to tell them that…Your Princess can't thank you enough for saving me, Luna, and even everypony in Equestria. Keep flying swift and bravely, my wing feathers."

(Princess Luna)
Occupation: Lunar Princess of Equestria.

"They say the heros always win in the end. I didn't believe in that much. But, it looks like I was wrong again." She laughed to herself. "They even had the courage to rescue me as fast as they can when I was captured. Although, it makes me sad for making them go through all that just to rescue me."

Luna took off her crown and looked at it. It still had the scratches from when she was captured. "Have faith in your heroes because they will most likely do what they can to save you."

"Just like how HandyFlash, Shining Armor, and Salin did."

(Neoma "Neon Nimbus" Nimisha)
-Formerly part of the E.S.A.S (Equestrian Special Aviation Suppliers), she was noticed by the Equestrian Military and was strictly chosen by the leaders to become The General of the Air Force in the E.R.A.F. She is currently leading the entire Air Force. Especially the Wingstalkers Elite Group.
Occupation: General of the Equestrian Royal Air Force.

"I still remember when HandyFlash was testing out the planes and when they were in training for the E.R.A.F. It felt like I was raising my own foals to become warriors of the sky." Neon Nimbus held her hooves together. "When I first laid my eyes on HandyFlash and his team, I've never seen such pride like the other pilots. At first I thought they were crazy."

"As their General, I chose them as my trusted squadron. Celestia and Luna seemed to chose them as well."

She looked at a picture of her and HandyFlash years ago. "HandyFlash. He was a born leader."

(Al Khoofa)
Occupation: Burj Khoofa Owner/Lead Ambassador and President of Saddle-Arabia.

Inside the Burj Khoofa's top floor, Al Khoofa stood by the window looking at the New Saddle-Arabian Air Force planes taking off for practice. "I remember that day when I saw Princess Celestia, Luna and the rest with those aces. Their wings still touched my heart by their bravery to defend my people with a fight." He smiled and looked at a plane doing a barrel roll. "I'm hoping that me and my people would see our Wolfpack as we call them to fly over us for a visit. And hear our thanks."

"When Colonel HandyFlash and his flight members volunteered to defend the capital, I could feel the energy from them like lightning being eager to strike the ground." He looked at the window that was damaged before, but was replaced. "Their flying skills are more than remarkable than I thought. I myself would surrender if I was to challenge them in one dogfight."

"If they see this, tell them they are always welcome to my building and city. We always give heros a warm welcome." He continued to look outside the view.

(Basinah)
Occupation: Al Khoofa's Assistant.

Basinah sat quietly at her desk and sighed as she held a pen on her hoof. "That time when they went to the doors of the Burj Khoofa. I'm glad that they were here. " She smiled and looked out her window and saw Saddle-Arabian Newly made planes pass by the Jumareah Beach. "They had the bravery to save our capital just to ensure our safety. That sounds like Al Khoofa because he is very protective of his people and love ones. I'm guessing we had that ever since our ancestor's age. And me…If I have a family and foals, I will teach and tell them about those Wing Feathers of Celestia and Luna, known as Arion Squadron."

She laughed quietly to herself. "I sound really weird don't I?" She smiled. "Sometimes I wonder how they can fly in those things. Their flying didn't seem to be like the hooves we have. It was like magic. If we get in danger, I would be glad to see them again from our skies. Just like our people of this country."

She gently touched her own stomach and nodded. "If they see this, tell them my first daughter is coming very soon. And would want to see the nine of you soon." Basinah said.

(Queen Devsalis)
Occupation: Ruler of the Union of Changnia.

Queen Devsalis of the Union of Changnia sat in her throne taking a sip of her grape juice in a golden cup. She cleared he throat and smirked showing her changeling fangs. "I've never seen such skills and bravery that Arion Squadron showed. In fact, it's been years since I saw those elements ever since the First-Changnian War when my changelings are fighting Queen Chrysalis for freedom." She looked at her hoof with diamond holes and laughed.

She put her drink down and laid her head down on her hoof. "They were just like Shining Armor and his friends except in those speed demons." She smirked. "In all honesty, I'm scared of those jets. If the Wing Feathers fly in my country's airspace, it will give my changelings hope like what the Equestrians did long time ago. Also to show courage to my New UOC Air Force on how it's done."

"I hope they see this because I want to invite them to let me give them the Valor of Changnia medal." She closed her eyes and smiled.

(Eileen "Evanesce" Zerchi)
-Evanesce was raised by a scientist mother and a father who was a member of the E.S.A.S (Equestrian Special Aviation Suppliers). She was a mercenary hired by Razor Whisk to aid him on taking down Equestria's rulers. Soon, she betrayed him and is now free because of HandyFlash paying off her debt. Now, she is forgiven and is now in the Wingstalkers Elite Group.
Former Occupation: Mercenary/ The Queen of the Locusts.
Current Occupation: Wingstalkers Elite Group member (Cloudburst Squadron, E.R.A.F Defense Force Unit)

Evanesce looked outside her room and nervously chuckled by talking about the aces of Equestria. "When Razor Whisk was ordering the Changnian Rebels to infiltrate the AAC-113, to secretly capture Princess Luna while Arion and that Thistle Flight was over Constantincoltle, I was thinking this would be easy. But when Razor Whisk showed his anger on Luna when we captured her, I could tell he was out for this stallion, Colonel HandyFlash's wings." She shrugged by what the rage would be like if she was on Razor Whisk's hooves.

"I first thought about the Arion squadron. I was arrogant to believe myself that I can take them down, but when I flew to fight them, I looked at the mirror in my plane that showed my reflection." Evanesce held her own hoof and her mane covered her eyes. "By the sensation I always feel while fighting them…I was scared…"

She looked back up and smiled. "HandyFlash was the one that shot me down. I laughed to myself that he knows how to treat mares. His words 'I don't harm mares, but you leave me no choice'. Such a gentlecolt he is. He was cute, but he knew how to turn a plane into fire like his marks on his own wings and hooves. For what happened in Canterlot, I engaged Razor Whisk instead of him. I don't know why I did it. I just wanted to."

"Anyway, if he sees this, tell him Evanesce says this: 'I hope I can see you again with your team. I want to learn more about your moves like dancing in the sky'." She winked.

(Vautour 2: Jacqueline "Haven" Beaudin)
-Jacqueline was formerly Vautour's number two. But when she fought with Arion Squadron in the Draconian Tail Island, her squad leader was shot down and she decided to lead the remaining griffons on her team. She was shot down again in Zial's Border between the Union of Changnia and the Chrysalis Empire. Now, she returned to Mount Griffon as a Project Engineer.
Former Occupation: Mount Griffon Mercenary/Vautour 2
Occupation: Project Engineer.

Jacqueline took a sip of her hot coco and looked at it. Steam was rising up which looked like the winds from the blizzard in the Draconian Tail. She's still haunted by the fact that she was the last member or Vautour Flight. She sighed.

"My father once told me: 'If you can't use your paws, then use your wings.'. That tip he gave me was about moving on." She looked at her griffon paws and chuckled. "But my plane didn't have paws for a second option. Only wings." She shrugged her shoulders. "That first missile that hit me for the first time almost made me pass out. Not because it was my first hit, I was facing those Arion Squadron flyers. I'll be honest, I was scared that I almost retreated from the combat zone to avoid a fight." She laughed. "But either way, it was going to be risky."

"Even though I failed to defend my leader and Dimitri, I still had to move on as Vautour leader. But that was the past. I came face to face with them at Zial's Border to prevent them from attacking the Blue Scythe. But in the end, I was shot down again."

Jacqueline put her paws on top of the steam and moved it around a bit. "I hope to see them again soon. I never really talked to them eye to eye. But most of all, I would like to apologize to them."

(Rogue 14: Harry "Phantom" Delgado)
Former Occupation: Mercenary/Rogue 5
Current Occupation: E.S.O.F-N Trainer.

"Every time I look at my mirror in my plane, I always see their planes on it. It's like they're my tail." Phantom looked behind him and shook.

"I was one of the first ones to go after Arion Squadron just south of Equestria. I'll be honest. I was eager to fight them. But when I arrived and saw them, I was legitimately scared. Seriously. I've wondered if that was what it feels like to face them. And also if my friends felt the same thing. My two friends that went with me, I don't even know if they made it."

"For how much we've been through because of that Razor Whisk guy, it was a long way to go."

(Vampir 4: Maxine "Fruit Bat" Grunwald)
Former Occupation: Mercenary/Vampir 10.
Current Occupation: Fruit Farmer.

Fruit Bat was laying down on the grassy fields of the Unicorn's Range. He looked up and enjoyed the clouds passing by. Even the birds. It still reminded him when he saw two birds flying in the same direction like they were dogfighting.

"No doubt. I knew I was going to get shot down. Just like what happened to Dimitri." He said. "It was like I was seeing a miracle given to them by the gods. I know some expert pilots can do it, but their luck for some reason was just…unbelievably high."

"Plus I even heard they took down the Blue Scythe Weapon and Evanesce's team by themselves." He whistled loudly and chuckled. "They get better and better don't they?"

"I admire their courage. It makes me proud for some reason." Fruit Bat was a well natured stallion. So he doesn't really hate his enemies.

(Homunculus 1: Claire "Rainy Showers" Anton)
Former Occupation: Mercenary/Homunculus 1
Current Occupation: Kingdom of Marey Air Force Pilot Instructor.

Rainy Showers was in the Horn Tower in the Union of Changnia for dinner. She was in the top floor to get a good view like when she was a pilot working for Razor Whisk as a mercenary. Now, she's a flight trainer for the new latest Union of Changnian Air Force. She looked at her hooves that were holding eachother like an aircrafts stick.

"I never thought that the Wing Feathers of Celestia and Luna would be more highly skilled than all of us." Rainy Showers said and looked out the window staring at the clouds. "I was stationed by The Green Canal to prevent those Arions to cross over. There was only nine of them while I had twelve highly skilled pilots that are far better than anything. But…seems like our luck ran out." She sadly looked out the window still.

Her frown now showed a small smile. "But I'm not like a mercenary now. I just wanted to start over. But still, I can't get the sound of their planes passing by me. Especially that Rainbow Dash mare, the one who shot me down. But hey, it was worth fighting in the air with them." She laughed.

(Kometa 1: Sergey "Blue Star" Vlashnov)
Former Occupation: Mercenary/ Kometa 1
Current Occupation: Union of Changnia Spetslos Member.

Blue Star was in the mountains camping with his friends who were in the E.R.A.F. He sat by a fire to warm up. The city lights of Marescow was seen in the distance as the fire sparked. Clouds passed by him more faster because of the winds of the mountains where Mareva Fortress was located. That memory made him nervous to think about and wondered what would happen if he didn't eject in time.

"Jaqueline and Rainy Showers weren't lying about their skills. They were saying that those Arions flew like the actual wing feathers of the Equestrian Princesses. I thought I was seeing magic in their skills. I thought to myself that if they can do that, so can I." He shrugged off on what he just said.

"But in the end, I was shot down. I lost my pride when I was defeated by such amazing pilots. This made me quit the Prizraks. I wanted to move on just like everyone else. While in the air, I wanted them out of our territory, but you get what happened next."

He smiled and shook his hooves. "By the way, I love the feeling of adrenaline when I was flying."

(Sicarius 3: Shana "Sun Sphere" Cerro)
Former Occupation: Mercenary/ Sicarius 3
Current Occupation: Canterlot Trading Route.

"My luck on that day ran out. Didn't it?" Sun Sphere laughed. " Our leader was excited to shoot them down to, but as you would know, we failed. And I lost all my comrades." She shrugged.

"When I was given my wings to fly the stolen aircraft, I was thinking I could be one of the best of the best. But when we were heading to the Crystal Empire, I felt like this is where I might stop."

"Well, that's all I have to say. They were more better than me and my friends. I bet they're still guarding the skies that they rule. No doubt." She said.

(Rantan 1: Asami "Morning Beauty" Miyamoto)
Former Occupation: Mercenary/ Rantan 1
Current Occupation: Wealthy Maid Café Worker in Neighgasaki.

In a Maid Café in Neighgasaki, Morning Beauty was in her outfit. She took off her glasses and put her hooves on the table, remembering her fighting against Arion Squadron. Her eyes showed guilt for what her job was that day, but she was glad she didn't hurt or took lives from innocents.

She tightly held her dress. "That day was one of the scariest experience in my entire life. I thought my plane wasn't going to eject when they were going to shoot me down." She said and took a sip of tea she made herself and then played with her straw she used. "All ten of my friends survived thankfully. My girls were shot down one by one, but were not injured at all."

"That day when we all reunited in the outskirts of Marescow, I promised myself with my friends we would stop being mercenaries and start over. So we all decided to work here." Morning Beauty looked around the café. "Everyday, we see smiles by our customers. It's more better than being a hired mercenary fighting others."

"The Arion Squadron's leader, Colonel HandyFlash, came in this café once since he heard we worked here. I swear, I wanted to hide myself if he's hostile on me. When he saw me, he smiled like he didn't want any harm." She shrugged. "When I was chatting with him, all ten of my friends that flew with me on Marescow joined in the conversation as well. I was embarrassed because he saw a former mercenary in a maid outfit." She blushed and tried to hide her smile.

"He is always welcome along with his team, to visit us in here. We would be glad to see them again." Morning Beauty smiled.

(Captain Mercy "Sand Stone" Shores)
Occupation: Fillypino Navy Admiral.

Sand Stone was on her cruiser just looking outside where waves were going by. She looked at the control panel and rested her foreleg. "We were called to defend a cargo ship to escort it to my homeland, Maneila, Fillyppines." She smiled and remembered the good part. "It was an intense naval battle. It was fun, yet stressful."

"We just received some jets from Equestria for our naval aviation team. It will always remind me of Arion Squadron."

(General Kristal "Cora")
Occupation: General of the UOC Forces.

"I finally met those pilots when they arrived at Marescow with their General, Neon Nimbus. My little sister was so excited to meet them. I often tease her about if she has a crush on HandyFlash." Cora chuckled. "It's quite rare to see a Colonel that is crazy enough to take down everything." She joked.

Cora clapped her hooves. "Every time I look out the window, I count how much they shoot down. It was always over ten bandits. It was just like me in the shoot house during training years ago."

"I want to see them again. Also request Colonel HandyFlash to train my sister."

(Colonel Andrei "Salin")
Occupation: Grand Master (General) of the Spetslos Forces.

"My older brother, Zial, was just like the Arion flight. Except he was a warrior on the ground and the Wing Feathers of the rulers of Equestria were warriors in the sky." Zial looked at the edge of his room to see his older brother's photo with Shining Armor and everyone in the First-Changnian War. "I bet he would agree on what I said. When you make those angels angry, they will turn into an astroid meant to destroy everything."

"Shining Armor was right. Their skills were amazing, just like the rumors. Trust me, when I was bored while on the AAC-113, I started to think about them. How much they can kick flank like us."

"Lastly, it was good to fight with HandyFlash and Shining Armor when we were in the Blue Scythe. That was team work."

(Colonel General "Orela")
Occupation: Mount Yamaretau Bunker Complex Leader.

"I've heard the stories about them before I even witnessed them fight. The rumors were right. The first time I heard about them was when Saddle-Arabia's capital was under attack and they were the only ones to protect the city." Orela rolled around in her chair.

"They were just like us. Shining Armor, his buddies along with Cora and my husband Salin. They didn't want to lose the battle against Razor Whisk and his hired mercs to get them. Just like us. They might be the next ones in line." Orela laughed at herself for saying that.

"A warrior has their own reasons to fight. For them, just for justice."

(Question of the Wings: "What kind of pilot are you? A loyal fighter who wants to please and protect their country? One that fights for skill and power to be feared and noticed by everypony? A mercenary that fights for profit from their prey? A standard and chilled one? Or lastly, to become an ace like us?" HandyFlash asked.)

(Question of the Chapter: What would your OC(s) say about Arion Squadron? Put their sentences in the reviews. Doesn't have to be long.)
