Brightwing had never heard of a pony with robotic wings. He was still digesting the thought of him being a rouge in the Pegasi law, and that they might try to kill him, wings or not............. Well, he didn't want to dwell on the thought.

"So, how are you going to help?" he asked Rainbow Dash,

"I'm the model for the wings. Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy will help too." Brightwing had so many questions but he selected two.

"What are they made out of and why are they bladed?"

"Uh, the metal is an unknown, we think its adamantine or mythril. The reason for the blades is you are joining the Equestrian army. You, me, Vinyl, Applejack, and Rarity are all joining up." she said, ignoring the shocked look on Brightwing's face, " Now let's get to work. Since me, Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy are going to build the wings, it's going to be faster than just me and Twilight, but they're sure as hell not going to be done in ten seconds flat. It's gonna take a bit longer than it is for you to heal which, well quite honestly I don't know how long it will take to heal but they should be done maybe a day or two after your recovery." Just recovering from his shock, Saber said,

"Can you bring me a bit of the metal the wings are going to be built out of? One talent I have in a skill with blades is that I can discern all types of metal. The only reason I can do this because I need to know what a sword is made out of."

"Um, okay I'll get you some," she said, "Vinyl, could you watch over Bright while I go and get some?"

"Of course," Vinyl replied, "I'll do my best."

"Good 'cause Bright's gonna need some help healing and recovering." Rainbow Dash flew out a window towards the tree house library that the Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkle lived.

"So, uh, Vinyl, thank you for saving me. I take it that it was not easy?" Brightwing asked. It was a stupid question but he couldn't think of anything else to say. It was not that Vinyl was pretty or anything (although she was kinda cute, although he didn't say that) he just didn't know what to say 'Hey you saved my life thank you?" that just didn't work.

"Well, I have to carry large speakers to all my concerts but sometimes I have help," she replied, "but a guy like you? I'll admit, it wasn't easy." Right at that moment Rainbow Dash flew in, holding a chunk of metal that gleamed like starlight. Brightwing put a hoof on the metal and was shocked at the results.

"According to my senses," he said, astonished, "This stuff is called starsteel. Incredibly light, doesn't dull or stain." "Hmm..." Rainbow pondered, "Twilight would know about this more than I do. Can he walk?" she asked the nurse "Of course he can. Just because he has wings doesn't mean he can't walk.

" Okay," Rainbow said, "Let's go. Vinyl are you coming too?"

"Of course I will," Vinyl said, putting on her shades, "Let's go."

The walk to Twilight's was not that long. A few turns and they were there in front of the door. Rainbow Dash knocked three times

"Twilight, it's me!" A purple pony opened the door.

"Ah this is Brightwing?" she asked. Saber and Vinyl bowed saying

"Your Highness." Twilight smiled

"There's no need for that. Honestly. You guys are not in the presence of royalty, well you sort of are but I don't prefer others bowing to me. Only standing with me."

"Sorry." Saber apologized

"So you're the one who needs wings?" she asked,

"Um, yes. I was attacked by a Changeling and it cut off my wings." A stab of pain shot up his back. Bright grunted in pain.

"Oohh," Twilight said, "Let's get you inside. that looks bad." she said "Fluttershy can you come here? I need your help!" of yellow Pegasus with a long pink mane and tail walked out. She took one look at him and immediately blushed.

"Um, Twilight, can I talk to you, privately?" the Pegasus whispered, barely audible.

"Fluttershy, this is no time to be this shy! This Pegasus has lost his wings to a Changeling and is in a lot of pain. We need to get him inside!"

"Um, O-okay." the grabbed Brightwing's arms and flew him to the top where two cyan curved frames with seven slots rested on a table, along with multiple strips of what looked like starsteel.

"I got the frames right, but a cannot get the bladed feathers right!" Twilight said, frustrated.

"Uh, Twilight, can you make me a Medieval Times sharpener?" Brightwing asked

"Of course!"

"Good. We'll need it." Twilight concentrated and her horn glowed purple and a stone wheel on an axel appeared. In a few quick sharpens, fourteen metal feathers a pair of each size, smaller to bigger.

"Uh, Twilight, you need a very good eye for this. Do you know anypony...."

"I got it." then she ran off without a word.

"Whaaaa...." Saber said confused.

"Oh she'll be back....probably with Rarity..." Fluttershy whispered. Sure enough she came back with a white unicorn that had a purple fancy mane and blue eyes.

"You are Brightwing, the uh-"

"Yes the wingless Pegasus." Rarity had a accent. British maybe?

"Well what do you need?"

"Rarity you have a good eye, can you put in the feathers in these frames? Smallest at the bottom and go up in size as you go up the frame." Within seconds she was done.

"Now we have to get these in and connect them to your nerves. Let's go back to the hospital."

Brightwing was sick of the hospital but it was for new and improved wings. Twilight, Rarity, and two nurse ponies were there. Twilight brought in the wings, gave him some anesthetic and he fell into a deep, painless sleep.

When he woke, he looked around and there, on his back, were two black and cyan wings. He tried to lift a wing. It responded beautifully. he cut at a curtain. it sliced through like a sword through paper. His red eyes were filled with joy.

"Thank you," he whispered "Thank you."
