It's been a week since what occurred… and I have been looking for a job since three days ago. Nothing ever worked for me. I tried a total of 24 jobs and none of them fit me well and considering my previous job was being a captain of the night guard not many places didn't want me. I was actually currently sitting in the library with a newspaper looking through the job ads for the nearby cities and towns.

"Still nothing?" Spike asked as he walked in with a cup of coffee before he set it down next to me.

"Nothing yet. Thanks for the coffee." He gave a smirk and a thumbs up before he walked out of the room. Twilight was out at the moment with her friends so she left me in charge of the library. Dracul and Lightcrest were with them as well. Hearing a knock at the front door I set my coffee down and the newspaper aside as I walked over to the door and opened it… revealing a pony in some sort of getup… blue cap with a blue work shirt with the symbol of two wings and a bolt on both.

He also had on blue shades. He grunted as he gave me a letter before flying off. Shrugging my shoulder I suspected that was a Mailpony uniform as I walked back in and sat down. Opening it I raised an eyebrow.

You have been selected to come and do a special task for the stunt group known as the Wonderbolts. If you choose to not come it will be accepted but if you do choose to come you will be asked some questions and if the answers are acceptable you will be asked if you would like a job among the Wonderbolt team.

If you do wish to come please come to the town hall where a representative will be awaiting you.

Nothing else after that. Shrugging my shoulders I wondered just what this special task was. And also wasn't the Wonderbolts the team that Soarin, Spitfire, and Fleetfoot were apart of? Knowing this might be my last chance at actually getting a job I stood up and folded the letter back up and put it into my back pocket. "Spike! Let Twilight know if she gets back that I got a job offer that I'm checking out alright?!" I yelled as I grabbed my sword just in case.

"Okay! Good luck at getting the job!" he yelled from the kitchen.

"Depends on what the job is…" I muttered as I walked out the door and immediately walked towards the town hall. The Wonderbolts were a stunt team… I met three of them including the one most likely in charge… but why would they need me then? I was still learning how to fly and stuff. Reaching the town hall in 10 minutes I walked in to find the secretary hard at work on some paperwork.

"Hello I was told in a letter to come here to meet a representative." I stated approaching the desk as she didn't look up.

"Luke?" I turned around to spot Fleetfoot with a smile on her face. "Is that you?!"

"Yeah. Didn't know you would be here." I said with a smile.

"I didn't know you were the one the manager was so intrigued in!" she stated. "So you were the one that trained the night guard?" I gave a nod.

"Whipped them into shape I sure did." I stated. "Although I am wondering what this special task is mentioned in the letter." I then asked crossing my arms.

"Well… unfortunately a few weeks ago around the same time as our… magic filled stunt failure. One of our flyers for the minor shows was ambushed by some of Equestria's… newest rebels… she loved just how peaceful Equestria was. She didn't believe that the rebels were real…"

"They hurt her didn't they?" I asked.

"They didn't like that… they broke her by breaking the one thing she loved most." She looked up at me with saddened eyes. "They broke her wings so much… that the damage is irreparable… when we found her she was breathing hard. The bones in her wings were so broken that they could be mistaken as dust and pebbles…" my eyes widened. "Since then the manager has been searching for somepony to teach us all some combat."

"Why not get a normal teacher then?" I asked her.

"We have tried but well…"

"None of them met what you wanted?" she nodded. "And just what is what you want?"

"To be honest I don't know. Only ones that know are Spitfire and the manager. Though I do know that trainers that teach in air against magic cost too much for us currently and just getting somepony

"I'm alright with any pay as long as I'm employed. I haven't actually spent a lot of time in air combat but I have gotten good at evading magic and stuff."

"That's good!" she stated with a smile. "What else can you do?"

"I'm pretty good with my current magic at the moment and I'm good at close combat." I stated.

"That is good to hear. I think you already got the job in my book." She said with a smile. "Follow me." I followed her outside where she spread her wings and gave me a seductive grin. "Think you can keep up?"

"I rather not anger Soarin but I think I can." I stated letting my wings out. She quickly took to the air as I followed behind her. She flew as fast as she could that was easy to tell and I was forced to use my wind magic to speed myself up just to keep up with her… eventually we reached a very large building in the cloud far away from Ponyville. Hoping that I could walk on clouds like Pegasus could I carefully landed and gave a sigh of relief as I could stand on the clouds.

"Come on!" she stated as she started to walk into the building as I closely followed. Walking through the building I couldn't help but smile as we turned and started to walk through a hall full of pictures of Pegasus… each one wearing the same uniform except with a different style after every 20 pictures or so.

"I see your looking at the famous Wonderbolts wall." Fleetfoot said as she stopped and looked at the wall as well. "each picture here came from a different generation of Wonderbolts since we were founded… each one was highly skilled and unique in their own way… in fact when Spitfire retires she's supposed to be put up on the wall as well." She said with a small smile. "Although that isn't going to be happening anytime soon."

"Understandable. She seems to be one of those quite stubborn mares right?"

"Yep! It's always a hassle just to get her to agree to have just one minute of time off from work." She said with a smile. "We better get moving. Spitfire and the manager are awaiting you in the office." I nodded as I begun to follow her once more. Soon reaching a door as she knocked on it three times followed by two fast knocks.

"Enter!" I heard as she opened the door and motioned for me to wait out here as I nodded and leaned against the wall. After about several minutes the door opened up to reveal three ponies, two of said being Fleetfoot and Spitfire while the last one was a earth pony. Fleetfoot had a smile on her face while Spitfire looked serious.

"So you're the one the manager has been so pumped about." She stated as I looked at the stallion who was smiling at me. "Never thought I would see you again for a while."

"Same here. So what's this job even about? I was told by Fleetfoot that I would need to teach some self-defense but there's something much bigger then that isn't there?" I then asked.

"Actually yes. We have been getting some tips of ponies doing suspicious things during our major shows. We didn't actually believe them until some of the other Wonderbolts stated they saw ponies carrying boxes in and out of the stunt arenas. They always disappeared when the town guard came after the show… we wish not to worry ponies during the show with the guard showing up and with the guard patrolling around." Spitfire stated.

"So you want me to train your team and find out just what's going on during the shows?" they all nodded. "I can do that… although I will have one question…"

"And that is?" Spitfire asked annoyed.

"Just how can I train them?" I then asked.

"Meaning?"

"What particular way do you want me to train them?" I then asked her.

"As long as they are able to practice the next day I don't care what you do…" she stated.

"You do know that you have to train as well don't you captain Spitfire?" the manager stated.

"I can take care of myself…" she said with a snarl while he shook his head.

"Until I know you can… he will be in charge of you all until I see fit." Their eyes widened as their jaws also dropped. I recognized his voice from somewhere… but where… "You two go and notify the other Wonderbolts of what's transpiring while I fix the contract and future plans for Mr. Damson." They trotted off either in surprise or anger as he looked at me and smiled… that's when I realized just who the pony was as I stared at him in surprise. "Finally figured out who I was Mr. Damson?" he asked.

"But… what are you doing here?!" I asked him.

"This is my actual job. Being a council pony doesn't pay at all." He stated.

"How are your girls?"

"Well… most of them are pregnant with foals on the way… I hope you promise not to reveal who I am Mr. Damson." I smiled.

"Believe me I won't. You are probably my most favorite one on the council." He gave a short laugh.

"Most likely." He stated. "Knowing your background I knew you would accept so I already have the contract made." He pulled it out and handed me a quill. Quickly signing it he smiled as I gave it back to him as well as the quill. "Well now all you need is a Wonderbolt uniform and you're all set."

"Maybe just a pin or something alright? I get into to many fights as is and magic is literately holding these clothes together. I need a new style…" I put a hand to my chin. "I should visit Rarity to get some new clothes then…" I then muttered.

"That can be arranged. Although are yo sure you don't at least want a hat?" he asked causing me to blink a few times.

"I'll take a few hats. I lost my old one back where I came from." I stated with a smile. "It will be good to have a hat back on this head." He gave another laugh.

"Well then I might as well make sure you always have a hat should I?!" he yelled as he continued laughing until he eventually stopped. "I'll let you look around for now… the place that you're going to be training the Wonderbolts will be in their practice arena okay? Be there in a hour alright?" I nodded as he walked off as I put my hands into my pockets. The flight time it took to get here was 10 minutes Fleetfoot speed.

So walking towards the entrance of the building before eventually seeing two unicorn janitors looking left and right in front of a door… staring at them from behind a corner I watched as one of them lit their magic up and used it on the door handle. After a minute or so they opened the door and wheeled in their supplies of cleaning before closing the door. Narrowing my eyes I waited for 5 minutes until they came back out.

Silently snapping my fingers I stopped the door with magic as they wheeled off. Quickly running over and entering the room I found that it was an office. I quietly closed the door as I begun to look around the office.

Mind if I take a look?

"Quiet? Where were you guys when I was fighting the stupid golems or whatever?!" I asked.

We were trapped in the training realm. I was able to find a weak point in the barrier to break myself out for a little while but it's slowly turning up enough power to pull me back.

"Well then get to it Quiet." He walked out of my body as he begun to search around the room. I leaned against the wall while he did is thing as I thought of why those janitors would be in here. Were they actually cleaning the place up?

No they couldn't of been… the floor isn't even wet and they had mops and no way to dry the floor… they were also in here too quick to even do much cleaning with how big a mess this place was. Also knowing what they were doing to the lock I suspect they were trying to unlock the door with their magic. Luckily Quiet is the most observant of us all knowing if anything has been touched and moved if he even hasn't even been in the room before.

"Luke…" I looked up towards Quiet. "found something you might want to see. It's definitely what they were in here for." Leaning forward I walked over to him before he lifted up a piece of paper. "this is a list for their future shows over the next 3 months." He was right. Each one happening at a different time at random.

"if we compare this to the rebels they would have known the times when to move supplies and stuff! That's how they have always been getting supplies!" I darted my head at Quiet. "they use the cover of the shows! Any way you can break the others out?"

"finally got a backstory to us?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"hell yeah I do but I need you all to assist."

"might not be able to. With the amount of time it took me to look around in here you have 20 minutes until you need to be at the practice arena." I groaned slightly. "besides I'm about to be pulled back into the realm so I won't be of any help. Good luck!" he disappeared as I quickly grabbed the piece of paper as it fell to the floor before darting out of the room and closing the door.

Running through the halls I soon found a large open arena with many Pegasus, plus like 10 to 20 griffons, as well as several other species. When I walked out into the open they all quieted down as I sighed. "I'm sure you all know who I am correct?" I yelled out as many of them murmured yes or nodded. "well then first of all I got some news not many of you are going to like…" they all shut up and stared at me…

"there are rebels among you..." they all began to panic as this annoyed me greatly. "shut the fuck up!" they all stopped and looked at me with surprise. "unlucky for us they had seen the schedule for all of your upcoming stunt performances for the next three months. But unlucky for them…" I gave an evil grin. "I know exactly what they look like." Many of them smiled and looked at each other. "but to build up the suspense this is how we are going to do things. If I say something that you don't look like you move over there." I pointed towards the other end of the practice arena. "now then… let's get started…"

And he's back to being the pissed off Luke we all know and love! Or I think we all know and love I'm not too sure… what do you all think?! Let me know in the reviews! Onto the riddle!
