DDG-100 A.K.A USS Kidd

"Ugh…what happened?" Lieutenant Kegley uttered. He then noticed that Brown and Banks were still knocked out. He tried to get up, but since he was still groggy from the likely concussion he had, he sat back down. He looked down at his watch and saw it was eight-thirty on the nineteenth. He looked back up and waited until a few minutes later, Banks started to stir.

"Did anyone see the lisence number on that truck?" He said groggily.

"You alright Banks?" Kegley asked.

"Huh? Yea I'm fine. You?"

"Yea. I think I've got a concussion, though."

"Ditto." Banks rubbed his head. "That really hurt. Wait. Why aren't we dead?"

This hadn't occurred to Kegley. Ships that entered whirlpools usually were destroyed. If not, severely damaged and yet, "I have no idea. How's Brown?"

Banks checked her pulse. "She's fine. Just knocked out. You should call San Diego and get a chopper here to pick us up."

Kegley got up and went to the radio and tried to turn it on to no avail. "Radios fried." He then looked at all the other consoles only to notice they were down also. "And so is everything else. Great."

"Well? How do we contact another ship?"

Kegley pondered this for a moment. "I got my flare gun still. Let's try that." He went out onto the observation deck and fired his flare.

"Will that work?" Banks asked.

"Doubt it."

"What about the Mark 45?"

Kegley almost forgot that even though they were on a training mission, the Kidd was still armed to the teeth. "We'll try that, too."

They went to the weapons control room, only to find its systems fried also.

"Damn it! Can we catch a break?" Kegley yelled.

"Don't worry cap, the guns can still be loaded and fired manually."

Kegley and Banks both turned to see Brown leaning against the doorway, smiling.

"You okay, Brown?" Kegley asked.

"Yea, just a little groggy," she replied. "We need to head to the turret to fire it, so let's go."

They headed toward the bow of the ship and onto the deck.

"In here," she said. "This is how you load it." She picked up a round for the loader and shoved it into the barrel. "And this is the trigger. Captain? Want to do the honors?"

"Of course." He put on the earplugs in the turret and put his hand on the lever that was supposed to act like the trigger. "Everyone ready?" The two nodded their heads. "Good. 3, 2, 1, FIRE IN THE HOLE!"

*BOOM*

Ponyville, Equestria

Twilight Sparkle's Library

"Spike?"

"Yea Twilight?"

"Could you find the book called History of Equestria, Volume 6?"

"Sure, Twilight!" responded Spike. He climbed onto the ladder and grabbed the book.

*BOOM*

"Whoa!" Spike yelled as he toppled of the ladder. Almost all of the books fell off the shelves, and the whole tree rattled.

"What was that?!" Twilight asked.

"How should I know?"

Skies over Everfree Forest

"Finally done!" Rainbow Dash breathed to herself. As she was flying back towards Ponyville…

*BOOM*

The shockwave knocked her off course. "Whoa!" She regained herself. "What was that?!" She turned around and headed toward the sound.

Fluttershy's Cottage

"That's right little birdies, lunch time!" Fluttershy told her animal friends.

*BOOM*

"Eeeeep!" Fluttershy quietly screamed. She immediately ran back into her cottage and locked the door.

Sweet Apple Acres

"Almost done buckin' those apples Big Mac? Applejack asked her brother.

"Eeyup."

*BOOM*

"What in the world?" Applejack said, stunned. Some of the apples that were on the trees were now on the ground. "Now that's just great. That just made our jobs harder, Big Mac."

"Eeyup."

Carousel Boutique

"…aaand…done!" Rarity said with the last stitch completed in her new dress.

*BOOM*

"Ahhh! What was that?!" She screamed shakily. She attempted to straighten herself. "W-well I'm sure it was nothing…"
