(Story extract)
As I struggled with the controls, I heard some scuffling behind me, before suddenly listening as the side door slid open. The wind whipped around the cockpit, and I glanced back just in time to see Night Strike shove Flare out of the vertibuck, watching for a moment. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!? I shouted over the wind, as Strike managed to shut the door.
She hopped into the seat beside me, looking rather smug with herself. Oh, shell be fine; I gave her a parachute and were not that far from EQUAD. I glanced out the side window, barely able to spot a parachute lying crumpled in the snow, Flares hind legs sticking out of a bank and kicking wildly. I simply stared out of the window, stunned, feeling as the control shaft moved in my hooves before letting go. Hey, did you really want to have to deal with her all the way to the SCAB?
My mind immediately jumped away from Flare, and I turned to stare at Strike. She looked towards me for a moment, before giving her head a shake. Come on, Static, did you really think I wasnt going to take advantage of this? I thought you knew me better than that! The pegasus mare giving a fake pained look, following it with a snicker and looking out of the cockpit glass. I snapped out of my stupor, glancing down at the compass, taking a firm grasp of the controls again. Fighting against Night Strike, I began to turn the vertibuck around, Strike giving me a frustrated look. Hey, well bring it back, calm down!
