NovaArkwing

(Sorry Shadowbolt I didn't see the post with Rainbow asking Nova to the party until I posted, you might want to change your latest post to add her response after Nova basically saying yes.)

>Agent Foxtrot-117 (Nova), Freelancer HQ Nova briskly walked over to the training zone to oversee the new batch of agents only to discover that it was already over, the powerful and large fully armoured Agent strode past the new agents standing a good intimidating foot or 2 taller than them looking like a lone titan he studied them closely for a moment scanning their Freelancer IFF's, the newer agents grew terrified of this large ​ walking tank as his reputation was legendary among Freelancer, he was once a honourable and determined pegasus who didn't even know the meaning of losing, he fought for the side of honesty, valor....Loyalty. But alas as he continued fighting he began to lose all he held dear to him until all that was left was darkness and ashes... He is now the only known last of the Original Freelancer Agents, while still fighting for what he perceives as "good" or what's "Right" he is still a soldier moulded and perfected into the ultimate machine of war by Freelancer. He was doing his daily rounds as he spoke with the new agents, overseeing their training while he was one of the most powerful of the Agents, his role seemed to be relegated to training the next generation of agents. He occasionally took to the training fields on 1-on-1 duels with promising and the top of the class recruits showing them what it meant to become the best of the best although he came up on top everytime he made sure he taught them to the fullest of his abilities, like a mentor he trained them and prepared them for the next step of becoming an Agent, with a notably higher success rate Nova's training has produced higher quality Agents, he was satisfied with his role but he sometimes yearned to be fielded to combat again. But with battles being fought with intelligence and deception and not arms or firepower, there was little for the last original Freelancer Agent to do in the meantime. He noticed three new Agents with injuries similar to that induced by a style non other than the Shade Corp they were carried off by medical staff who were heading to Recovery medical ward, following the agents he spotted a new Red-mane'd orange-eyed agent who looked withdrawn, miserable and alone in standard uniform he walked over to her concerned for her, "Agent Virginia, is something wrong?, you seem conflicted and sad." he asked her quietly wishing not to cause distress to the new agent by his rather large and intimidating appearance, "Your performance on the training zone was impressive if not overly brutal, Shade corp training?" Nova complimented her performance on the training noticing the brutal style of the Shade corp, he sat next to her in a relaxed and calm state.

"Thanks it takes awhile to practice but I have very fast reflexes so it helps when you're playing a guitar-heavy song, to be honest I didn't expect anyone in this group that likes rock as much as you do. I have a feeling this year'll be a special one" he smirked as he opened his backpack, "Here take a look, you might find something you'll love." Nova offered as he handed her his music player to use during the lesson. Nova flinched as his hand got caught in the blast radius of the bubble, he looked at his hand with shock and disbelief on his face before looking at the others who were covered in the bubble wholesale, he took a moment to register what just happened before he fell on the floor laughing. "What the hell was that?! Whoever did that owes me my hand back!" he tried to speak as he laughed hilariously being caught by the bubble. Nova slowly calmed down but was still smiling until Rainbow asked him to come with the party with her, his cheeks grew red as he blushed then recomposed himself and prepared to answer, "Dash, I'd be honoured to go with you..." he smiled warmly and shyly looks back to his desk occasionally glancing over to Rainbow too embarrassed to speak again.

"Awesome although my musical tastes are pretty wide while I am a rock and metal lover at heart, I do enjoy other stuff as well as orchestral, rap, classical rock and some party-type music too I'm kind of an all rounder mostly I can even play the guitar too maybe I could show ya sometime if you want" he confidently listed off his favourite types of music realising that she was a bit of a rock lover too, he started blushing alittle shyly without realising as he admitted to playing the guitar since he doesn't speak much about it. he couldn't help but smirk alittle finding the punk story funny and yet felt bad for Rainbow's friend for having to deal with the situation, "So what happened then? did she get rid of him or something?" he asked curiously although feeling like he asked a stupid question despite the obvious outcome.

Nova glanced over to Rainbow who looked absolutely bored out of her mind he thought of trying to get her attention and get to know her even more, "So Rainbow what kind of music do you like?" he asked as he looked over to Rainbow who was looking at other people hooking up and smirked as she sarcastically commented about it. "I know, I wasn't even here for a day and all this is happening, I guess since Valentines is little over a month away it's having the same effect as Christmas..." Nova theorized finding the situation the other potential couples were in amusing.

Nova nodded to Pinkie Pie while still cautious around the group after being jumped just earlier, "while it's not common knowledge there are several other unsung elements located around Equestria but that is classified information even I don't know about some of them however, I am the Element of Honour." Nova confirmed to Pinkie hesitantly uneasy about telling them "You know maybe we should get better acquainted during lunch I still don't know many in this group..." Nova offered them as he still tried to figure Pinkie Pie out to no avail before Rainbow Dash stopped him in his tracks curious about him, "Yes, I'm currently here as part of my training in preparation of the real thing, the Cloudsdale Flight Academy for Combat pilots where hopefully I'll be flying with the true aces of the Equestrian skies, like the Wonderbolts, Yes I'm a sword fencer but that's more of a hobby I practice on a daily to weekly basis." he admitted to Rainbow Dash seemingly nervous to part such personal information but grew more confident due to her largely positive reaction. As Nova took a seat next to Rainbow Dash he noticed some of his aviation books were sticking out of his backpack, He rapidly covered the books so nobody could see and take advantage of it, once he was seemingly in the clear he relaxed and took out a notebook and a small pencil case organized and ready for the lesson he sat waiting for the teacher to begin and started taking notes with rapid succession.

Caught completely off guard as a Pink-haired hyperactive girl ambushed him, her sudden welcome to the class he instantly recognized her and the other mane 6 he cleared his throat and recomposed himself as he was about to address his sudden welcome party, "Not necessarily new to the school but I'm new to this group, I was late due to a flight exercise which took longer than I had anticipated..." He paused as he answered Pinkie Pie's questions with articulated rapid efficiency before he began to introduce himself, "The name's Nova, Nova Arkwing. Flight cadet and professional sword fencer, you must be the Elements of Harmony, correct? honoured to meet you all." he introduced himself to the Mane 6 shaking their hands with respect and pride edging his voice as he tried to act calm in front of them.

A young blue haired pegasus was running back to school after completing a strict flight training exercise which took all morning to complete, "Late on the first day...Great first impression Nova!" He sarcastically reprimanded himself as he made his way to the class. He took a quick detour due to still wearing his training gear into the changing rooms to change into his flight cadet uniform as quick as he could, "now if I make it in time I'll still be able to catch half of the lesson." he thought to himself while nearing the class spotting a rainbow-haired girl walk in the class, hearing the commotion inside her slyly followed them inside stealthily sneaking near the back. Nova sat near the back of the room setting up for class he observed his new classmates with curiosity rife in his emerald green eyes as his nature made him analytic and calm, this wasn't his first year of attending this school as he knew his way around the school while his classmates are usually different each year Nova still made little friends as they moved away and onward with their own lives. He was quite reserved about these new people seemingly very loud and energetic, he carried on observing regardless trying to decide on what to make of his new classmates his gaze kept returning to the Mane 6 ponderously wondering why they're here and not somewhere more... Prestigious, considering their highly celebrity status, their reputation was highly respected among the Equestrian society even the military held great respect for them. He was snapped back into reality preparing for the inevitable first introductions.

Still here but got writer's block at the moment.

"Generic villain number 501, please take your place it's your turn." Inb4 Mane 6 defeats bad guy with Elements of Harmony.

4-6-9er A.K.A Harmony (Freelancer HQ Main Hanger) The large cavenous hanger was heavy with activity as maintenance crews and ground crews scrambled along the main floor tending to the incoming and outgoing air traffic of fighter-bombers performing routine patrols, supply craft delivering supplies and materials from stations deployed across Equestria and various other aircraft coming and going from the location, however a blonde-maned blue Pegasus was sitting on top of her beloved craft wearing her flight helmet loosely, using it's integrated technological systems to assist her calibrations with maintenance upgrading and refitting gear strewn next to her as she unfolded parts of the hull's armour to get inside the framework. "The next time we fly through AA fire I swear to Celestia someone keeps messing with my bird..." she muttered bitterly as she started working on the more complex inner workings of the craft irritated by the thought of somepony toying with her precious baby. She was in the middle of making modifications to her craft in preparation of the rumored re-fits that Freelancer's air force would undergo meaning older models of current aircraft would be s****ped or replaced with new more superior types of craft or newer vastly improved models, which Harmony venomously disliked upon seeing the newer versions dreading the fact that her bird could be next on the chopping block for the s**** when it would get reviewed or entered into the performance trials, she worked tirelessly for the last several week or so to modernize and upgrade her precious dropship to meet the new standards that will be in place soon. "Don't worry baby I'll never let 'em send you to be s****ped, You've never let me down before, we'll show them you can still pack a frakking punch, I promise..." she whispered quietly to her ship stroking the hull gently as she promised to do everything she could to make sure her dropship is still deemed combat-capable to the committee in charge of overseeing the refits. Yet despite all her efforts she was still one mare and the odds were stacked against her favour, but she wasn't alone as her mostly secret lover Applebloom or Agent Virginia as she's officially designated as helped and supported her every step of the way, while not common knowledge some of the other pilots figured it out that the two were together never told out of respect she signed happily thinking of her sweet Apple smiling behind her helmet while she continued working constantly. Eventually she spotted one of the ground crews messing around with one of her refit kits she prepped while readying flight equipment for one of the newer aircraft, "Hey don't touch that it's got vital equipment in it!" she urged as the crews continued onward, cursing under her breath she stopped to examine the kits for damage and swore loudly as one of the more important components was missing, it was like everything that could go wrong was slowly going wrong like some unknown powerful force was deliberately trying to sabotage her efforts on refitting her dropship so it would fail in the trials. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Director, Agent Carolina, Agents North and South Dakota and the Counselor (one of the Briefing rooms in the Intelligence sector of Freelancer HQ) The Director and the Counselor were waiting for the Agents to arrive as the Counselor fired up the holographic projections on a nearby board he started discussing about the events of the royal hive, "Counselor, while I do believe the data is accurate it's not physically possible for a entire race to just...Vanish within just mere hours, disturbing as it may be we must continue as planned if we have any hope of preparing for the coming threat..." the Director stated as he reviewed the findings from the data retrieved from the Delta X-02 raid little over a month ago, "However I do find it amusing that now they're starting to take note of our handiwork, they are not so...dense nor do they squander such important gifts as the Principality once did...I find it quite ironic given the circumstances..." he mused solemnly as he tapped a code into the dataslate reviewing new Agent files eventually one catching his eye, "Ex...Shade Corps...Turned...Agent?!" he double taked not believing the intel for a moment before smirking overly very darkly, "Well well well, it seemed they aren't so loyal as they claim, this will be interesting." He chuckled finding the situation hilarious as the Shade Corp often called themselves the loyalist of the loyal in the GEF military. The Director was ready as he handed the dataslate to the Counselor, the Agents entered with Agent Carolina leading them in she was followed by the twin Dakota Agents still healing over the injuries North and South took during the raid, they reached the center opposite the Director and the Counselor they saluted the Director with Carolina firmly and crisply saluting him personally, her unquestioning loyalty to the Director was very evident which made South and the more troublemaking Agents in Freelancer's ranks despise her finding her attitude very irritating often talking about her behind her back like schoolchildren much to Carolina's annoyance. "At ease Agents. The data you recovered from the Delta X-02 facility has pinpointed the locations of very important targets of Freelancer to hit in the coming weeks, however compiling further intelligence and plans for these raids will be top priority and will take some time to carry out. In the meantime you will be held in reserve while we assess the current situation so keep training and catch a breather while you can, Excellent work Agents." The Director briefed the Agents in a professorially military manner and congratulated them on a mostly successful raid as holograms projected the various Agent Fireteam leaderboard with Carolina's at the top of the board. "Thank you sir!" The Agents swiftly replied saluting while the Director turned to the Counselor, "Counselor please update the Fireteam board in light of this raid." he requested as the Counselor acknowledged the Director's request and tapped a series of codes into the dataslate he held and the board showed and changed as North was promoted while South was demoted, in shock South angrily ripped her helmet off her Orchid coat and lightish-grey and green dyed-striped mane was revealed, "I thought you said the mission was a success , Sir?" South protested in anger as she watched her position on the fireteam board drop. "One of the main mission objectives was Stealth. Your carelessness revealed us and our intentions to the enemy which will make our next missions more difficult! They'll be ready for us. Dismissed." The Director rebuttal-ed cold and firmly stating the facts and consequences of South's recklessness. South stormed to the door in a blind rage while the North and Carolina looked on uneasy about South's reaction. "[colour=#40e0d0]Think I should talk to her?...[/colour]" Carolina quietly whispered to South's brother North, showing concern for South's aggressive outburst, then as she asked him South stormed out and punched a control panel hard causing it to break and fall off the wall and onto the floor as she stormed out. "M[colour=#800080]aybe we wanna give her a minute...Or two...[/colour]" North replied cautiously giving Carolina a bit of a warning trying to not cause a fight that'd be rather nasty knowing how his Sister fights.

Unless we have any unfinished business in part 1 sure, but I can't shake this feeling I've not gone detailed enough on Freelancer or it's characters somehow...

What?, no love for the British eh? I see how it is.

It does make sense that Lightning got kicked out of boot camp considering she put civilians in harms way even nearly killing the Mane 6 with her reckless and impatient approach to the scenario. If I was her CO (i.e Spitfire's position) I'd be pretty frakking angry at her myself aswell. Even if it came out of nowhere considering the show's usual nature those writers have so much up their sleeves.

... [/media] Fair enough, I just remember the main events and Freelancer's storyline events. (although I do wish Fire raven was back I missed his Hetalia-related insanity. )

Awesome but not to be nitpicky but I did noticed two things wrong in the description, (just putting it here for future reference): 1. "[colour=#282828]The Prophet's real name was Lunar Cross, former guard captain of Princess Luna's personal guard and one of the founders of the Federation (and rumored ex-lover of Twilight Sparkle)".[/colour] [colour=#282828]The Prophet revealed he was Luna's ex-lover (which upon hearing this Free went insane and committed suicide leaving Striker, Applejack and Lavender in command of the RLF).[/colour] [colour=#282828]2. The raid at Delta X-02 was left out, it was where Freelancer found co-ordinates to a new target and location and introduced the Twin Agents North and South Dakota.[/colour] However apart from that it's as accurate as it'll get so far, it'll get pretty hectic when this picks up.

Thanks there are only a few issues relating to Freelancer and the main story but my main issue would be about how Applebloom and Harmony got together, can you explain it during part 2 because I got nothing...My bad. As for Freelancer ranks it usually falls into 2 categories, first being Agents (comparable to Spartan IIs), as for the regular forces This should be a reference to Freelancer armed services rank structure. (Coding I hate you so much I want to hit you... Nevermind I got it )

Val when Part 2 comes can you retcon the part where The Director was in Equina during it's destruction, maybe say that a Recon Team involving Nova and Tex was scouting Equina when it happened?. Also in regards to the characters Is it possible if each faction had a roster displaying main to minor or plot relevant characters and story arcs involving which faction just to keep track of the rp?

I could post something but with writers block, the holidays has turned my mind into broccoli and refuses to work on making a post...And I know i should be posting something...

I wonder what would happen if Revolutions were like Hetalia...

...Hotdiggetydemon Applejack is now canon... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5xknAj30vI[/media]

Ok this episode was ok and Applejack got an upgrade from minor character to major/main character again (about time too since she seemed to just be there for a plot convenience for the Mane 6) but not going to lie, this episode was a bit cringe-worthy at parts because of the accents...I'm sorry but I couldn't stand it the accents were hammy and some I despised, like Babs Seed's New Jersey accent (I like the character but the accent...Yeah, no.) Parts I liked in the episode: - How they subtly confirmed what happened to AJ's parents, kind of... - Applejack's character development in the episode. - Seeing other members of the Apple family and some of the designs I just somehow loved like the Earth pony very closely resembling Octavia playing the string instrument during AJ's song and the pony on the right at 12:55 minutes in with the White and Green mane who was talking with the pony with an accent that just reminds of the Canadians in South Park... - That song is catchy and it's stuck in my head in a good way. - The smoothness of the animation in some parts of the episode (like the song for some reason I noticed it flowed particularly smooth with the Octavia-like Earth pony, it appears to flow smoother then the regular animations). - Also liked the shout out to Derpy's scene in the Last Roundup but with RD as Derpy and AJ as the lightning victim - The Flashback scenes were good and it's good to see the return of the younger version of Granny Smith as well as other younger versions of various Apple family members. - The letters to Celestia are back, yes just yes! But now I supposed they're being phased out due to the evolution of the characters. - Fruit Bats?...OF COURSE IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE GENIUS! And then there's this: ...Excuse me I believe My Heart.exe has stopped responding... Parts I disliked in the episode: - The Accents especially Babs Seed's, the rest were bearable but off-putting and distracting apart from Applrjack, Apple Bloom, Big Mac etc.. - Some of the events seemed like overkill from the simplistic predecessors from past reunions that I swear AJ was about to pull a RD in terms of being the best host it seemed almost convoluted or too ridiculous. That's pretty much it really, now to wait for the next episode...
