When he was but a young colt, Lightning Flash had no desire whatsoever to become a great flyer. Instead, he preferred lazily dozing in the clouds all day, failing to be productive in any sense of the word.
One day, while he was watching the other young colts and fillys sly their hearts out at summer flight camp, he noticed a violent storm brewing below. He chuckled lazily and looked back to the camp only to see a young filly plummet into the storm below. Suddenly, Lightning's body threw itself into action. The colt felt as if he were watching a film as he rocketed into the mass of black clouds at speeds he never thought he could ever achieve. Once, inside the storm, he found himself surrounded by huge bursts of lightning. Ignoring the danger, he scanned the area for the filly. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted her and rushed at her. As he drew closer to the flailing filly, time seemed to slow down for him as he saw a bolt of lighting erupt from a nearby black cloud, a streak of white hot electricity reaching out from it towards the terrified little filly. Seeing that made his body go into overdrive, his wings propelling him forward at, what he guessed, was supersonic speeds.
Then, there was the filly, wrapped in his arms as lightning exploded behind them. The next thing he knew, he was gently setting the young filly down back at the camp's infirmary so she could recover from shock. What happened next surprised him. Thundering applause. His cutie mark had appeared. It was then that he realized that it was his destiny to become one of the greatest flyers in all of Equestria.
