It didn't take long for Princess Twilight to find the Wonderbolts HQ in Cloudsdale. Who could miss the most extravagant building on the highest cloud pillar? She quickly came to the front door and was stopped by a guard wearing Wonderbolt armour. He quickly spread his wings as a you're not getting in gesture once Twilight came close to him.

"Halt, traveler." He said in his deepest voice, "What business do you have here in Wonderbolt territory?"

"My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle." She said to the guard calmly, "I seek an audience with the Wonderbolts."

"A princess, why didn't you say so?" He said once he noticed Twilight's wings and horn, "You may enter. But be quick about it." He moved out of Twilight's path, "Ever since Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot vanished we've decided to up our defences drastically."

She quickly walked inside the entrance hall and the door shut behind her. The Wonderbolts really know how to pack stuff into one building. To Twilight, it looked bigger on the inside and classier too. The walls had a gold lining in every corner and stairwell, the floor was made of marble and there was a massive sky viewing hole in the middle of the ceiling.

She quickly walked up the stairs to get to the leader's quarters. Once she got inside the door shut behind her again. They really cared about defences without their captains to lead them. She identified 3 throne-like chairs at the end of the meeting hall, no doubt for the three captains of course. There was already three figures sitting in the three chairs once she got all the way to the end. There was two mares and a stallion sitting down, all pegasi and all brandishing different hairstyles.

"State your business in the throne room." The stallion kindly said.

"I am Twilight Sparkle." She introduced herself, "I bring a message for the Wonderbolts-"

"Twilight? Equestria's latest princess?" A mare with what looked like Soarin's hair started, "Oh thank Celestia, we're saved!"

"Excuse me?" Twilight was clearly confused.

"Maybe you can help us with something. Something urgent!" Another mare with blue-with-a-white-stripe hair said.

"What's the trouble?" She asked, knowing that they looked desparate.

"Our captains, Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot haven't returned to the headquarters for over a month now!" The blonde stallion said, "We're starting to get really worried and unorganized."

"That's why i've come here in the first place." Twilight calmed them down, "I know where they are and what's happened to them."

"Very well, Your Highness. Please, tell us what you know." The puffy dark blue haired mare spoke.

Twilight told them everything. About the Triad Drive incident. About Rainbow Dash taking them in and even about the time she literally had to scan their feathers to prove their identities. She backed up the last part by showing them all the exact same papers from the other day.

"I told them the Triad Drive was a bad idea!" The stallion said, "But they didn't listen and now we've all but lost them." He hung his head.

"Looks like we've got a lot of shoes to fill." The white-stripe-in-blue-haired mare said.

"What do you mean by that?" Twilight asked, showing a lot of curiosity.

"When the captains go on long business trips and/or fall under some affliction, be it physical or surreal. The next three Wonderbolts in the hierarchy take their place until the effects wear off." Said the puffy haired mare.

"And who would that be?"

"Us, who else?" The stallion said, "So sorry, forgot to introduce ourselves." He quickly took his mask off revealing his stallion face, "My name is Lightning Streak."

"My name is Misty Fly." The blue-hair-with-a-white-striped mare said as she revealed her face.

"And i'm High Winds. It's nice to meet you, Your Highness." Said the last mare once she took off her mask at last.

"Just one question to ask." Lightning Streak began, "Is Rainbow Dash taking good care of the captains?"

"I've checked in with her before." Twilight told them, "She's following all 3 steps to mothering foals. Give them a nice home, Feed them the right food, and making sure to love them no matter what."

"Good to hear that."

"Is there a cure for this Triad Drive aftermath?" Misty Fly asked.

"I've been studying its' wavelength and powers carefully." Twilight began, "And i've been trying to decipher a spell to fix an aftermath of that wavelength but to no avail."

"What about a potion?" High Winds asked now, "Do you have an alchemist in Ponyville or the Everfree Forest?"

"I never thought about looking for a potion as the cure." Twilight responded, "We have a Zebra called Zecora in the Everfree Forest who could help but i wouldn't be surprised if she says no. In most Age-Regression cases like this one, a cure is unmakeable."

"Very well then, Twilight. If it's no bother i have a little task for you." Lightning Streak told her.

"What's the task?" She asked.

"Go to this Zecora and find out if you can make a potion for this occurence. Once you get a clear answer from her, report back to us as soon as possible." He said as he hoofed her a Wonderbolt pendant, "This should get you past the guards on your way in and out next time. This'll prove that the other Wonderbolts can trust you. Speaking of the other Wonderbolts, i'll be sure to inform them all about this little event and that you and Zecora are researching a potion cure."

"Thank you, Lightning Streak." She made her way towards the door, "I'll head to Zecora's right now and come back later."

"I hope she's successful." Misty Fly said to her comrades once the door at the end shut, removing Twilight from their sight.

"If there is indeed no cure as she said. We're gonna have to learn to live with commanding ALL of the remaining Wonderbolts." High Winds said as the three of them retreated through a door behind the chairs.

Author's Notes:

End Of Part 6

Nothing to do with the foals for this part. :( but at least i made a new chapter this time. She's heading off to Zecora's Hut in the next chapter. Expect some rhyming next time. It seems tough but after writing How Diamond Tiara Stole Hearth's Warming, i have a pretty good rhyming dictionary now so it should be no problem. Just be ready if it isnt. Now then, if there is no cure, Will the Wonderbolts be able to live this down? Or will things start to spiral out of control? Also, i don't really know how the Wonderbolt Hierarchy works. I just took the first three names underneath Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot and i worked from there.
