Well, it's been awhile guys. Sorry for the long wait. Just hard for me to update stuff with exams going on and all. But, I'd say the wait was probably worth it.
Longest chapter yet, I'd say. And also a favorite of mine, especially the race between Sierra and Rainbow Dash! Yeah, there's not too much Pterano and Rarity in this one. My apologies. It's mostly just of Rinkus and Sierra helping other ponies out and failing epically at it. LOL.
Next chapter will be a bit on the short-side. Just letting you know.
Well, I hope you all enjoy it. And please be sure to R & R!
A Flier's Angel Chapter: 4
That following night, Rarity had the most wonderful dream! She had dreamt that she was riding on Pterano's back, soaring over the horizon along with him! It had all been such a breathtaking sight for her!
After that, they did a number of romantic things together, such as ballroom dancing! Just as the two of them were about to kiss, the unicorn then awoke, blushing. It had all been just a dream!
Pterano smiled, as he pumped his fist! "That's right, my loyal pony followers! This land shall be ruled with a just and new law. My law! You shall accept it, or you shall leave. The choice is...well actually, mine." Pterano grinned, as he watched the ponies work hard under his rule. "The power of this new land..in the palm of my hand!" Smirking, he then gently helped the lovely Rarity to his side as he smirked. "And ruling alongside myself as king, shall be my new queen: Rarity!" Smiling at her blush, he leaned forward to kiss her when...he awoke. Confused and sweating, Pterano then wondered on why he had dreamt that.
That morning, Rainbow Dash was zipping through Ponyville, bursting with more energy than usual!
"Hi, Rainbow Dash!" greeted Pinkie Pie. "Boy, do you look like you're in real hurry! What's up?"
"I'm going to challenge the fliers to a race today to see who's the better flier!" the blue pegasus replied, continuing on her way!
"Ok! Good luck with that!" she smiled, giving her friend a wave good-bye!
Sierra sighed, as he forced a grin. Pterano had said for them all to branch out and help the others in anyway they could. And now, he was stuck having to help that annoying pony named Pinkie Pie in delivering some stupid food around the town to a shop she worked at. The flier had just finished things up, and was now supposed to go and help the other ponies. "Confound it! I'm not a charity service…" he grumbled, as he kicked at the ground.
"Heya, Sierra!" chirped Rainbow. "Having a fun time helping others around town?"
Sierra jumped as he looked around for the voice! Looking up, he spotted Rainbow Dash. "Oh...hi." he replied dully.
"Sounds like you could use a little break..." she mused. "How about a race?!"
Sierra stopped as he blinked. "W...what?" he asked. Looking at her, he thought, "Race her? Why in the…" Glaring at her, he then responded, "Now why in the world would I want to race you? I ain't got the time for your silly little games!"
"What do you mean?" she exclaimed. "It's all in good fun!" Turning around, Rainbow Dash then smirked, "But if you're just gonna chicken on out cause you're afraid of losing, I'm cool with that..."
Sierra halted immediately in shock as he whirled around angrily at her. "W..what did you say? You just called me a coward!" Growling at her, he then agreed. "Alright then. Alright, fine! You want to race, fine!"
"Ok! So it's settled then!" she smiled, gesturing to an area in the sky. "Follow me to that cloud up there! Let's go!" The pegasus immediately bolted upward, leaving Sierra in the dust!
Sierra growled, as he raced up behind Dash! He was gonna show that cocky, little brat who was the fastest! She thought that she could make a fool outta him? Ooh, he was gonna show her! Flying up onto the cloud next to her, he looked at the cocky little one as he demanded, "Alright, so now what? Where do we race next to, brat?" he asked angrily.
Pointing a hoof, the pegasus spoke, "See that long straight line of clouds?"
Sierra looked down, as he replied, "Yeah, what about it?"
"First one to reach the very end of them is the winner!" she explained. Looking back at flier, she added, "Deal?"
"Fine! Ready, set, GO!" Sierra shouted! Without even giving her a chance to respond, he dashed down through the clouds below as he sneered, "I'll show her"! Dive bombing down, the flier then glanced back up to see her still in the same spot. "Not as a good as she thought she was!" he sneered.
"HEY! YOU GET BACK HERE!" Rainbow Dash demanded, bolting down after him!
Sierra smirked in response, as he looked down at the lines of cloud. Thinking to himself, the flier thought, "Heh, showed her. Guess she'll keep her yap shut from now on...what the heck?!" He gasped as a blur flew right past him!
"You were saying?" she smirked, continuing to zip on ahead!
Sierra snarled, as he then dive bombed towards Dash! When he got close enough, he 'accidently' kicked her as he caused her to spin out of control! Smirking at his devilish plan, he continued to fly towards the goal! That was much easier than he thought!
Continuing to spin, the pegasus remarked, "Hey...You...Can't...Do...That!" The spinning finally coming to a stop, Rainbow angrily growled, "No one does that to the Dash and gets away with it!"
She then sped ahead right towards Sierra!
Knocked aside from the whirlwind that was Rainbow Dash, Sierra grabbed the sides of his head to stop his eyes from rolling in a comical manner. Shaking out of it, he then gasped as he saw she had made it to the finish line!
"WHOOOO-HOOOOOO! I WIN!" cheered Rainbow Dash. "Once again, Rainbow Dash remains the undefeated champion of the skies!"
Sierra glared angrily at Dash! How dare she make a fool of him like that! Who did she think she was?! He considered flying up and killing her right there on the spot for making him look so stupid, but decided against it. If he was gonna end up ruling over this place, then he wanted to make sure that she was his own personal servant! Flying away silently, he wondered how the others were doing…
"See ya, Sierra!" she waved to him with a smile. "Hopefully you and I can race again soon!"
Rinkus was not having a very good day!
He had been asked by Pterano to go and help out one of the ponies with their problems… So, he had been forced to help the ultra shy pony: Fluttershy. Her name pretty much spelled out shy! Trying to keep his nervousness in check, he forced a smile as he approached the pegasus. "Execuse me umm... . I was asked to help you with a problem you might be having?"
"Well, yes," she replied softly. "I do have a bit of a problem... I need someone to help me tend to my little animal friends..." Smiling back at Rinkus, Fluttershy asked, "Do you think you could help me?"
Rinkus smiled, as he thought, "I'm not really much of an animal person. But if it gains her trust." "S..Sure. I think I can help with that". Sighing, he approached, as he then asked, "So, what do you want me to do first?"
"Well, would you mind helping me feed the animals?" she asked. "I could really use the extra help..."
Rinkus smiled, as he replied quickly, "Why, sure! Yes yes. I can help with that. To be honest with you, I've never had to feed animals before, so I don't know what it's like, but it should still be fine." Shortly after having said that, the flier then began to panic on silently. "No, this isn't good! I've never...oh dear, oh dear! Don't blow this! You need to be helpful for her to trust you!"
"Ok, then," nodded the pegasus. "Would you mind feeding the animal friends that are asleep in that small den over there?"
He sighed, as he then nodded in agreement. Stalking over to the den, he bended over as he gently wrung the bell. "Hellooo in there. Umm...little friends? I'm here to help feed you." Rinkus called out.
Angry that someone had disturbed their slumber, a pack of snakes then slithered outside of the den, hissing fiercely at the flier!
"AAAAAHH! SNAKES!" Rinkus panicked in fear, as he backed away quickly, bumping into Fluttershy as he fell over! "S..s..snakes!" he cried!
Sighing, she then took the snake food contained in Rinkus' claws, and walked over to the cranky reptiles.
Gently stroking their smooth and scaly skin, Fluttershy then fed the creatures, remarking, "See? It's as simple as that. No need to be afraid…"
Rinkus blushed in response. "S..Sorry. Just was startled by the sudden appearance." he shrugged.
"It's Ok..." assured Fluttershy. "We can all get a little frightened sometimes..."
Rinkus got up, as he spoke, "I'm sorry if I seemed a bit of a umm...coward. But perhaps do you have any other animals that I could try to help?" He didn't want to come off as rude, that was the wrong way to earn her trust. So, he tried to see if he could have her help him.
"Oh, yes, I think I have just the perfect animal for you..." replied the yellow pegasus, leading him towards the large cave up ahead.
Rinkus followed Fluttershy, as he thought quietly, "She's not very good at this I bet. Acting all like she knows every person by just looking at them. Hmm." Taking note of the cave, he thought, "It's big, large...has a weird stench. Oh no. What if this houses a monster?!" Gulping as he followed, he chuckled weakly. "Eh heh heh, err..is this really a good idea?"
"Oh, yes..." she smiled. "Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you approach the animal slowly..."
Giving the flier one final good-bye wave, Fluttershy then flew off to assist her other animal friends...
Rinkus gasped, as he called out, "W..wait! D..don't…" Gulping in fear, he slowly turned around. Approaching silently, he then slowly peaked inside as he spotted the creature. It looked like a monster to him!
The monster was ever so still; sleeping and snoring noisily.
The creature appeared to be part lion, part scorpion. A manticore! It looked rather fierce over all...
Rinkus glared at where Fluttershy had gone off to. This was the cute creature that she wanted him to wake up?! "She's mental. Completely mental!" he thought angrily as he gently poked the creature's side. Flinching as he stepped back, expecting a gigantic roar. He paused as he heard nothing. Poking it again, still nothing.
Immediately waking from its slumber, the manticore raised its claws as if it was about to strike!
Rinkus raised his clawed hands in fear! "N..No, no, no! Do..don't kill me!" Rinkus panicked! As the monster approached, he closed his eyes hoping for it to be quick!
Quite to Rinkus' surprise, the creature didn't want to kill him; it hugged him!
The monster purred affectionately, even licking him a couple times on his beak!
Rinkus gasped, completely in fear as he mistook this for an attack! Feeling the slimy tongue hit his beak, the flier let out a shriek of panic as he broke free and flew off out of the cave! Screaming the whole time!
