Chapter 4 the battle for Trottingham

on Moon City

Luna decided to kick off this war with attacking one of the cities on the Solar Empires side , Trottingham .

She assembled every single soldier that was armed with an assault rifle and a m60 magnum . Also the captains or generals were also there as well Rainbow Dash , Applejack and Adam .

"It's time everypony , it's time we start this war . This war will determine the entire fate of Equestria it's self . Our first target is going to be none other than Trottingham , as I will be overseeing the entire battle its self , Captain Rainbow Dash will instruct you flyboys on what to do from here" said Luna . Rainbow Dash walked up with a plan in mind .

"Listen up flyboys! , we are going to be going in hot , so be sure to handle any enemy fighters that come your way , the pelicans will be escorted to there landing zones by our fighters outside of Trottingham , now most of you have had your training over at the Lunar military academy , you will be flying in attack pattern Delta so watch your six for any and all enemy fighters" Said Dash .

"Next up is Applejack as she will instruct the ground forces" said Star Chaser .

"Alright ya'll , here it is with Solar troops deploying in Trottingham it's self , we are going to be landing outside the town its self . Now we are going to do what the flyboys can't , we are going to give those solars a run for there bits we going to beat them with everything we have until we see there guts on the floor , we are going to rip there heads from there bodies and come home with smiles on our faces, AM AH RIGHT MARINES !" said Applejack . "MA'M YES MA'M!" "mmhm damn right Ah am" said Applejack proudly . Alright guess i'm up .

Adam's POV

I walked alongside Applejack and figured that it was my turn .

"Alright here it is , the pelicans are going launch with both her marines and vehicles , then the fighters are next we are going to give those Solar Morons a run for there money , we have the most powerful weapons known to ponykind , basically we are to provide cover fire for the pelicans , and the fighters while focusing on any enemy ships as well .

All I want ya to know is that this war is going to bloody there will be ponies that are going to die in this so be watchful for that , also make sure that we also do what we can to provide support for both the air and ground" I said .

"The plan is this , as these human and ponies have said , we going to take Trottingham from them and begin our expansion , then our next target is going to be Ponyville and go from there" added Luna .

"That is correct , however I too am going to be overseeing this battle as well and directing our air and ground forces" said Star Chaser .

"FOR THE NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC OORAH!" I shouted . "FOR THE NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC , OORAH!" .

"Alright Move it out Double time everypony , to your stations" I added . I looked toward Applejack and noticed that she too wanted to get this over with . I saw Rarity who looked like the red or blue spy from Team Fortress Two .

We soon headed to our pelicans , once we boarded our transports Luna and Star Chaser teleported to mine and yea they were going to join me in this battle as I was heading toward my own ship it was frigit but it looked based on the ship The Forward Unto Dawn from Halo's 3 and 4.

"So this is my ship?" I asked . "That's is correct" said Star Chaser . I soon smiled at the name , yup it was known as 'NLR , Once more Unto the Breach' , now how cool of a name is that ? Yea very cool .

Once I got on-board the three of us were escorted to the bridge , but I saw some warthogs , mongooses along with , hornets and falcons. "Pardon me but when were these built?" I asked .

"They were built during the construction of the first three ships the crescent moon , the lunar horn , and the moonstruck and now we now have the Once more unto the breach added to our list of ships , the other ships will follow us like NLR Are you Dead yet , NLR Hear my voice , NLR Lunar Heavens , NLR Lunar Destroyer , NLR Striker , and NLR Star Wrath." Said Luna .

"Very impressive , well then I think it's time that we get underway" I added . And so all of the ships included mine casted off from the shipyards with everyone on board we started to descended into the heavens below .

Everything was looking good so far , and so far everyone was ready to go everything was ready from the fighters to the shadow bolts , to the tanks even the pelicans .

Time we show you Celestia that we aren't to be messed with I thought as I sat in the captains chair . As we cleared the cloud line we stayed at a level altuide where we soon launched the pelicans and fighters /shadow bolts .

So far so good . What surprised me was several star destroyers emerging from somewhere . This shocked the crew so much that alarms were blaring everyone was scrambling to figure out just how in the world this happened . I knew what to do I had to contact Rainbow Dash and her fighter /shadow bolts .

"Rainbow Dash , we have a problem a Stardestroyer emerged somehow and … ah crap it's launching fighters … so it begins! , Rainbow have your fighters engage as for the shadow bolts have them be on the watch out for any solar Wonderbolts in the immediate area" I ordered .

With Rainbow Dash

"Copy that" replied Dash . "Alright , Lunars 1-10 engage enemy fighters , shadow bolts form up!" . Breaking formation several F 18 fighters and started to dog fight with the odd H shaped fighters however wonderbolts emerged from again that same ship .

"Snowflake you have full clearance to engage" ordered Dash . "Copy that captain" replied Snowflake . "Shadowbolts , on me lets mop the floor with these solar ponies" .

Following suit Apocalypse and Lilly , Firefly , Whizzer , Wind Whistler . Fire Blaze, and Sky wish's followed in a tight yet loose V formation , swords at there wings they broke off and started to dogfight with the Wonderbolts . As for Dash herself ? She engaged with the captain of the wonderbolts , Spitfire . Both ponies charged , and started to clash swords

"So I see that you turned traitor against the crown , Dash what a shame ! Now your going to die for it … too bad you could never be a wonderbolt" taunted Spitfire . "I abandoned that dream long-ago , I lead my own ponies The Shadowbolts" said Dash as they fought .

Over on the Ground with Applejack

After the pelicans landed the orange earth pony looked up and saw RD locked in battle with her idol Spitfire .

Ah sure hope that she wins this thought Applejack . Once the marines deployed she knew what she had to do .

"Move those tanks and warthogs , keep the mongooses behind" ordered Applejack . Doing as they were told the tanks moved forward with the marines as well , they were armed with assult rifles and pistols .

And so the fighting on the ground began , Captain Shinning Armor knew what had to be done , "Everypony move forward and fire at will" ordered Shinning Armor .

Knowing what to do she had the marines out flank Captain Armors forces while the tanks take out his main force . Only this time he had called in bomber support .

Not good ! .Thinking fast she called in fighter support . Several pairs of longsword fighters were launched from the NLR Once more Unto the breach .

As the flew they had to weave through enemy and friendly fighters along with Shadow bolts and wonderbolts in order to begin there attack run . And they did just that , they fired there machine guns at the enemy bombers .

Both bombers exploded in a fireball and there twisted metal began to fall right through the houses while they were still on fire . Smirking Applejack planned the next phase of her plan .

"Ah'right bring out the warthogs ,lets show our solar friend what we can really do" said Applejack . Emerging from the side streets and started to charge while the gunners opened fire with the mini guns , scared the solar ponies returned fire with there blasters but it was no good they kept firing taking out as many as they could .

The Solar soldiers ran and tried to find cover where ever they could weather it be behind a food stall of behind a wall .

AJ had them pinned , now the final part of the plan came into play. "now bring out the mongooses , have them take out the tanks with ponies using rocket launchers" .

With a revving of the engines the ponies driving the mongooses took off hard and fast weaving through the soldiers and tanks they started to open fire on Shining armors group .

This is Captain Armor me and my battalion are pinned down at central Trottingham , repeat we are pinned down and need assistance, send reinforcements to my location NOW!. Shinning Armor grabbed his E11 blaster rifle and fired at the first marine and held out as long as he could .

SE Burning Rage

Admiral Twilight Sparkle heard her brothers plea for reinforcements and she knew what to do . "Send several transports of soldiers to my brothers location ! , while I handle these lunar vessels" ordered Twilight . I'm more than just a bookworm, you might have me outclassed but you have no idea as to what i'm capable of human , yes I know what you are , you are going to die as will my former 'friends' they mean nothing to me ! Thought Twilight evilly .

This is war ! , she has studied any and all strategies from the past and she had to win this battle one way or another . Sorry human but your gonna die at my hooves !.

Hours Earlier In Trottingham

When the stallions and mares saw that the unknown transports were heading for there town , they all bailed for the nearest shelter or bailed for the train . Most of the ponies boarded the train in a panic leaving there belongings behind them .

Most of the trains were able to get the panicked ponies of Trottingham toward the capital of Canterlot . When one of the mares told the guard as to what they saw , quickly they were rushed toward Canterlot Castle .

In Canterlot

"Princess!" shouted one of the guards as they entered the throne room. "yes guard what is it?" asked Celestia irritably . "your highness , one of the mares from Trottingham has something to tell you" said the guard .

"Very well , speak up I don't have all day" said Celestia .

"Well , we saw several unknown flying machines heading toward us also backed up are fighters and they came out of these huge ships that were hovering in the air as they deployed there unknown flying machines complete with weird artillery and troops with weird looking weapons , that's all I remember I swear!" she said cowering .

The white alicorn thought this over , and battle would be inevitable soon , and with war already starting it was time to show off her new ships along with her new weapons and fighters .

Luna you have made a grave mistake declaring war on me ! . "Very well , I'll deploy troops to Trottingham , I know just the mare for handling the new ships' said Celestia .

"Oh and who might that be?" inquired the mare . "My star pupil , Twilight Sparkle , she's one of the best mares in magic and can even out beat some of the best ponies in chess , if what you said is true , then my troops will defend Trottingham , they will crush any resistance by any means necessary" said Celestia .

She sent one of her guards to go get the purple alicorn princess from Ponyville , hours later she arrived with a confused expression .

"You summoned me Celestia" said Twilight . "Apparently Luna my 'sister' , is on her way to take Trottingham I want you to be there waiting for her and ambush her , and as for the ground troops I will have Shinning Armor lead them , Spitfire is to lead the Wonderbolts , you are to take command of the Solar Navy , as of this very moment you are given the rank of Captain" said Celestia . "Thank you princess I won't let you down" said Twilight with determination .

So Luna makes mistake attacking Trottingham , I'll put down her forces like there nothing thought Twilight .

"I should warn you , they are heavily armed and better trained in numbers so watch yourself" warned Celestia .

"Don't worry princess , I know what to do" said Twilight.

As she was escorted out of the castle and toward an open field where she saw a huge wedge shaped vessel with the name , SE Burning Rage in bold letters .

Smirking she teleported herself toward the bridge of the ship as the command crew was ready for lift off .

What she didn't know is that the New Lunar Republic had someone who was smarter and to take her on and take her down one way or another .

This is it , time to see if this 'ship' can lift off the ground . Taking the command chair she started bark orders .

"bring all engines and weapons online" , "Rodger , bringing all engines and weapons online" , " Now then take us up nice and slow" ordered Twilight . With a slight rattle the ship slowly rose into the air . Once the ship was high enough in the air she had the ship cloaked and off it took .

Meanwhile Shinning armor was on board getting strapped up for his battle with the NLR as he had some idea of who on the NLR side , he knew one or nearly all of the elements of harmony have joined the NLR including Rainbow Dash and Applejack .

Meanwhile as the ship was cloaked Shinning armor had to shake any 'happy' thoughts of when he met Twilight's friends , they are nothing but traitors to the crown ! And will be cut down one way or another! .

As for the armor that was issued to replace the normal royal guard armor , Storm trooper armor but with a log of the Solar Empire on it to show who they were . "Captain Sparkle to Captain Armor" rang out Twilight's voice .

"Armor here" "Report to the briefing room on the double" said Twilight sternly . "On my way , over and out" . With the final strapping's of his armor on he knew what to do . He grabbed his E 11 blaster rifle and pistol and walked out of the armor changing room .

He soon made it where Spitfire was wearing a white jumpsuit it had the same logo on her jump suit as it does on his armor . "Alright listen up everypony" said Twilight getting there attention .

"we are facing an enemy from with in Equestria , the New Lunar Republic , to get my brother up to speed . One day yesterday , Princess Celestia was going to make a speech , but before she could even finish it Princess Luna grabbed the mic and said something , while I was there yes she did say 'JOIN ME AND I CAN OFFER YOU ALL A PLACE WHERE YOU WILL FEEL MORE SAFE AND AWAY FROM HERE AND NOT BEING SPIED ON , EVERYPONY RAISE THY HOOVES'

now then as you already know , the NLR is heavily armed with ships of unknown class , weapons are also unknown , same with there transports what we have to do is defend the town from lunar forces other that Spitfire is going to lead our earth pony pilots in there fighter jets and I will lead the TIE fighter pilots in space .

If it comes down to it and they do take Trottingham , we are to reinforce other cities in Equestria then attack Cloudsdale and Ponyville" said Twilight .

"Uh Twily don't you live in Ponyville , so attacking a place where you live would seem like a bad idea" pointed out Shining Armor confused .

"That maybe true , but the reason why is that I plan to draw them in and let them think they have control over Ponyville but that's going to be a distraction the real attack is Cloudsdale" added Twilight . "what about there vehicles?" asked Spitfire .

"Again we don't know a thing about them or what they can do" pointed out Twilight . "Now if there are no more questions this meeting is adjourned"

Current Moment in the Battle For Trottingham

Both ships starred each other down until one of the captains made a move on the other .

Adam's POV

I knew I couldn't risk using the MAC here on the planet or I would either take out my own fighters or worse .

Making the right deceision this would be my first real space battle as the fleet was waiting for me to link up with them . "Helm take us up , inform our longswords to return and rejoin us with the fleet in space" I ordered .

With a slight jerk and a shake , my ship rose upward as we soon blasted at full burn toward space . I was soon contacted by Luna and Starchaser from there ships .

"What are you doing?" asked Luna confused . "if there is to be a space battle , then it has to happen in space , i'll handle my part you two just focus on the air and ground battle" I said .

"Fair enough" they said as there images flickered off . "Sir we have reached the stars" said Posey . Now was the time to figure out what we are up against . "Alright what do we have on that unknown vessel?" I asked getting right to business .

"it's a wedge shaped vessel of some kind and for it's weapons it's armed with , laser cannons and missiles as we hardly know much on the ship it's self , but we do know it's name , SE Burning Rage" said Raindrops .

"Makes sense , helm bring all weapons online target that Stardestoryer , it's more than likely it a mark I and not a mark II" I said .

Alarms were blaring again and this time we were battle ready , apparently more and more ships of the same type started to uncloak , this sure made me raise an eyebrow at that in surprise .

How in the world did they research cloaking technology? I thought as more and more Solar ships uncloaked right in front of us .

What ins the world , I hope that battle plays out in my favor or something . " Recall all of our longswords , I think it's time we show this moron of a pony how we do things" I said .

"Aye sir message sent , uh sir I'm picking several small objects heading through the atmosphere toward space and joining with the main fleet sir" said Bonbon .

"Oh not good , alright , have our own fleet go battle stations" I ordered . And not a few moments later that happened . I saw rows and rows of fighters appear from each ship joining us .

Perfect we have a chance . Looking at a display screen they were the 'H' shaped fighters from before , luckily I had a few plans of my own . "Open fire on the SE Burning Rage" .

The NLR Once more Unto the breach opened fire with it's 6 50mm defense turrets all streaking toward the stardestroyer . Little did I know that I had initiated a space battle that might swing in the enemy's favor .

"Ready all archer missile pods" , "Aye sir all missile pods are ready to fire at your command" . All the missiles were nearly out of there pods and only I had to give the command .

"target there weapons" I said . "Aye sir weapons targeting weapons" "Sir the ship is hailing us" said Lyra . "Put her through" I said knowing that my mistake would only prolong the war .

Captain Sparkle : This is Captain Sparkle of the SE Burning Rage , who are you ?

Captain Seville : I am Captain Adam Seville of the NLR Once more Unto the Breach , and You are a traitor of the crown and will fall before the might of the New Lunar Republic!

Captain Sparkle : Fine then human , you are going to regret that , prepare to die !

The image of Twilight cut out and while I was shaken a bit to see one of my favorite ponies side with Celestia . It didn't matter she was an enemy and I had to defeat her one way or another .

"How long til lour own Longswords and Sabers arrive from the planet?" I asked . "not long sir ETA , 3 minutes sir all we have to do is hold out" .

"Alright here we go , begin evasive maneuvers Charlie Delta" I ordered . I later gave the order to the fleet to engage the enemy . Sure enough it was a battle of TIE Fighter vs Longswords and Sabers . I can hope that we wrap this battle up as best I can .

SE Burning Rage (Flagship)

Twilight's POV

I soon got a good look after the image of that human faded from my holographic view .

I knew that they had the advantage in fighters but we have better technology . Time to see if this person can outlast me , not like anypony else can . What I saw shocked me , this guy is out flanking my fleet … no matter I have a plan for that . "target those fighters and blow them into space dust" I ordered .

The SE Burning Rage opened fire with several turbolaser batteries targeting several longswords some got struck and blew up in fireball.

Other pilots were able to maneuver out of the way but were able to land some strikes . What I had to do was also focus on there main ship .

Little did I know that something was streaking towards us , another ship ? , support from nearby ? . "Captain , incoming missiles" shouted Carrot Top . "target them and bring them down !" I shouted .

It was no luck most of the missiles struck the front of the ship as I felt it shaking hard from the missile impact . But that's when I felt several of the other missiles strike the front of my own ship . The ship shook violently throwing me off my command chair and hard onto the floor .

Quickly I scrambled back into my command chair and looked in shock , he hit me with that much power ! .

Fine then , your going to regret that big time "Return fire , target his missile pods ALL of them" I ordered .

Imminently I was later told that it was done and all turbolaser batteries were now focused on the lead NLR ship . "Good then , by all means …. fire!" I said calmly . The Stardestroyer opened fire with it's heavy turbolaser turrets firing green laserbolts streaking towards the NLR Once More Unto The Breach.

Adam's POV NLR Once More Unto The Breach

My ship was being assaulted with … lasers ? How odd but I did feel as if the ship was being torn apart from this assault .

"Star the charge on the MAC" I ordered . With the fleet engaged with the other ships were on our own.

"Push the generators to there maximum on the weapons I plan to fight through this one way or another" . "yes sir ,sir I don't know how long that the generators can hold under this pressure" said Bolt tightener .

"Do what you can to compensate , we have to defeat this fleet then return to the planet to get the troops" I said over the radio .

"Copy that I'll be sure to monitor the generators" said bolt tightener . "Very well , Bridge out" I said ending the conversation .

And here we go . Quickly switching tactics , I had more and more missiles assault the stardestroyer along with more gun fire from our 50mm point gun defense turrets . As I had to push the engines as hard as I could .

There was no way I was going to loose to a pony much less a princess who betrayed her friends and told them that they were no longer friends , and disowning Spike like that . No way in Hell! . "Status on the MAC?" I asked .

"80% charged sir" replied Quick Fix . "Alright she's going to regret to have never met me" I grinned . So far this battle was kind of swinging in my favor minus the losses our fleet was taking but we were holding our own for a while .

If it weren't for our MAC's then we wouldn't have much of a chance at all. As the stardestroyer was assaulted with gun fire form our point gun defense turrets .

My ship fired more missiles to assault it and it was beginning to light up like a tree on christmas . Smirking all of that energy was being directed towards the MAC or in this case Magnetic Accelerator Cannon.

As all that extra energy from the overpowered generator would give the weapon more power . I don't know , all I know is that if this weakens it's hull it would be easier to broadside it .

However I did notice that my ship was still being assaulted with an entire volley of turbolasers as reports on hull breach's on several decks .

"Seal off those breeches and continue to fire" I said calmly . "Aye sir" replied Quick fix . Meanwhile much to my surprise I saw some kind of boarding craft heading toward our ship , I had a plan for this .

SE Burning Rage

Twilight's POV

Enough was enough !, while yes my ship was getting pounded from all that gun and missile fire it was time to board and take over that ship one way or another .

"Launch boarding craft , NOW!" I ordered. Quickly any and all soldiers were assembled in the main hanger bay and boarding craft took off from our hanger bay and were heading toward the NLR Once More Unto the Breach .

I wanted that ship captured and there crew taken prisoner. This is going to be fun , taking an enemy captain prisoner. While I sat on the bridge all I could see was my ship being pelted with gun fire and missile fire as well. We should be able to outlast them for a while , if not this entire battle I thought .

NLR Once More Unto The Breach

Adam's POV

"Sir we have intruders in the main hanger bay" shouted my security officer . "Send in the left over marines and whatever we can scrounge up" I said .

I headed toward my weapons of choice . The first was my MA5B assault rifle with a switch on it for either a 60 or 32 clip size . Personally desisinged by Pinkie Pie .

I then chose my side arm as well . My M6D magnum pistol , checking the clip it was loaded . Perfect I thought . I made sure to strap on my MA5B assault rifle on my back and my pistol to my side .

There was no way that I was going to loose to a pony not here not now. I soon walked out of my ready room ready . "Status on the MAC?" I asked . "100% charged and ready to fire on your command sir" said Quick fix .

"fire" I said simply . I strapped on my helmet that I had with me , and I walked off the bridge and into the surrounding decks . "Sargent!" I shouted getting his attention . "yes?" . As I knew what to do .

"Deploy teams toward the hanger bay and hold them while I set up teams to hold them off I am NOT abandoning this vessel" I said . "yes sir" he said .

He signaled several men to follow him toward the hanger bay . I soon started setting up teams on every single deck and access points to engage them from every single direction .

That should hold them for awhile I thought as I upholstered my assault rifle and , as the clip was set to 60 . Every single marine was ready for this fight .

At least the ones that weren't scared or ready to break ranks . I soon joined the first team at the door from the hanger bay toward the main deck .

"Alright boys lets give them hell!" I shouted . Several solar guards came through an entire hailstorm of blasterbolts came through the doors . "TAKE COVER!" I shouted .

Quickly I knew what had to be done . " Return Fire , blast these solar morons back to CANTERLOT!" .

Our own hailstorm of bullets quickly took down several solar guards , as we didn't know who was leading this charge . During this fire fight I got key up on my radio . "Captain , we have a problem" said Lyra urgently .

"Yea I know were being boarded , were holding them off until we can get reinforcements or something" I said while firing .

It was obvious , there was no way that we are being boarded but it is my duty as captain to defend this ship with my life .

"Contact Princess Luna , see if she can get some reinforcements to our ship , we could use them as of now , we have to push them back ! There is no way in hell that I'm letting some stupid pony take this ship , I'd sooner destroy it" I said angrily .

"Copy that , bridge out" said Lyra . Our team kept firing until I felt a tap on my shoulder . "Go ahead" I said .

"We've been cut off from the armory , somehow the enemy outflanked us there and set up a defensive position there" said one soldier .

I thought this over until I had an idea . "Alright tell the others to hold this position it's time to take the armory" I said .

Me and a small platoon of soldiers got to the corner to where the armory was . Scratching my head I saw several sandbags set up with several guards with E 11 blaster rifles and pistols guarding the entrance to the armory .

"Ready your weapons , were taking back the armory" I said .

They all nodded , this wasn't going to be easy . I checked the counter on my rifle and it was down to 0 . I quickly got out another clip and reloaded as the counter jumped all the way to 60 again .

"Alright boys , lets do this" . Again they had there battle rifles , assault rifles , and pistols ready . Smirking I lead the charge . Quickly the solar guards opened fire .

That's when we jumped over them and took cover inside the armory and threw several frag grenades to blow them to bits . And it worked ! Yea it was a bloody mess but we took back the armory with no causalities . "Seville to Major Bullet striker"

"Bullet Striker here" said Bullet Striker . "we got the armory secured , I need you to start pushing back the solar forces into the hanger" I said . "I'm on it" . I turned toward my small team and told them to rejoin the others in the main hallway .

I grabbed more assault rifle clips and headed out figuring that this was it . When I got back we were barely holding our own against superior tech .

I quickly started to open fire , taking out as many solar soldiers as I could . "Come on push these morons back" I called . As much they rallied around me and we got up from our entrenched positions . And quickly we started to push them back toward the hanger .

Most of the others either grabbed a battle rifle or a rocket launcher . Good idea I thought . Slowly they started to fall back toward the hanger . Yea superior tech doesn't make you better than us . We pushed them back with an entire hail storm after hail storm of bullets .

"Fall back , FALL BACK toward the hanger !" shouted the enemy commander . His troops started to fall back while still providing cover . Only I had an idea of my own , take as many out !.

Most of my men were either dead or injured . I gathered up what men I could and we pushed as hard as we could . Slowly and surely we pushed them into the hanger .

Most of the rocket troops opened fire with an entire hail storm of rockets along with an entire hail storm of bullets . Lets see ya stop that !.

And yea most of the Solar either guards were blown to bits by a rocket .

Or riddled by bullets , our bullets tore right through there armor like it was paper . Seems like they didn't upgrade there armor and are barely putting up a fight .

"Captain , it's no good we can't push through ! Request we pull out !" said the commander of the solar boarding forces .

"Do it we will make our final stand on the planet below" ordered Captain Sparkle sternly . "Copy that , troops fall back to your drop ships we have been ordered to head toward the city of Trottingham below , and make our final stand there" he shouted .

Nearly all of the surviving soldiers got into there transports doors shut and off they flew out of our hanger and headed toward the planet .

Quickly I told them to start patrols around the entire ship .

I then made my way back to the bridge and took my seat I was informed that the ship was too heavily damaged to re enter the atmosphere and the generators were going to overheat and meltdown . "reduce power to normal levels" I ordered .

The enemy stardestroyer was heavily damaged and most of my fleet was gone if not worse in shambles and we were the only ship alive , however most of there fleet was badly damaged or destroyed .

"Alright , I'll head down in a pelican are there any that were damaged in the battle with the solar fleet?" I asked . "about half sir , only a few are functioning at the moment" informed Bon bon .

"Sounds fine by me anyway I'm heading down the hanger just keep this ship in working order" I said leaving the bridge .

I made my way hours later toward the hanger where I boarded a pelican . The pelican took off doors closed and shot it's way toward the planet below I think it's called Equss or Equiss something doesn't matter .

We soon past through the atmosphere and made it toward the town of Trottingham . Grabbing my weapons I made my way through toward the central command post of Captain Applejack's forces .

"Report" I said . The orange mare saluted me and informed me that things weren't looking so good as they were before .

"Alright here it is , I'm going to have more reinforcements assist you as well as additional air support" I stated . "Thank you captain Seville , we could really use it" said Applejack happily . "no problem" I added .

I called in additional reinforcements and air support to wipe them out . A few minutes , the rest of the fleet sent what they could .

Both princess Luna and Princess Star Chaser later arrived to do what I call a mop up . And yea we sent the last of the solar troops running , Shinning Armor included .

I don't know what happened to Captain Twilight Sparkle , either her ship cloaked or she took a transport down toward Trottingham or she teleported out of said ship and joined her brother and made a run for it .

Later that Night

Location : Trottingham

Everyone settled down Captain Rainbow Dash was laughing with the flyboys , Applejack was having a good time with her troops getting to know them most of the crew from the NLR Once More Unto the Breach later joined the celebration after having there ship in the repair yard .

As for Adam he looked out the window and just sighed that he never had a girlfriend since his arrival here and just simply had to think and plan for the next battle .

That's when some new fighters came to his mind along with creating several new ships for open ocean battles . Most of the flyboys from the air force had seen some of there best friends since training blown out of the sky .

Some of the soldiers from AJ's group had seen there best friend gunned down badly with there entire body riddled with red baster holes . The young man shook his head wondering what in the world he had got himself into .

A young mare by the name of Quick fix from his crew walked up to him and decided to join him . "Nice night isn't it" she said striking up a conversation .

"yea I guess so , I actually respect the night the work that Princess Luna and Princess Star Chaser put into crafting something like this" said Adam . "I know but about that battle , you did all you could to protect this ship" said Quick fix .

"True but I lost a lot marines to defend that hallway , not like I was going to let them capture the ship anyway" he added .

"well lets hope tomorrow swings in our favor" added Quick Fix with a smile . "Yea lets hope so" muttered the young captain .

As for Fluttershy , she was swamped with patients in the doors moaning from the pain from being blasted .

Poor mare was barely able to get any sleep since she had her make shift hospital set up . Meanwhile both Luna and Star chaser were working on attack strategy to use when they attack Ponyville tomorrow .

"Sister , we could setup a makeshift tent for Fluttershy while we deploy our ground forces via pelican' said Star Chaser .

"that is true however we would be deploying right at the entrance of the Ever Free Forest" stated Luna .

"You know what sister , we need to get some sleep tomorrow we strike hard , there are most likely going to be solar guards there in the city" said Star Chaser . "No sister , YOU need to get some sleep I'll handle my duties as princess" said Luna calmly . Sighing the younger sister of Luna headed upstairs for the night and figured that maybe sleeping on it would be a good idea . While Celestia lowered the sun and Luna raised the moon she did have her own duties to do .

Canterlot, Equestria

In a bright flash of light appeared the young purple alicorn Twilight Sparkle who's mane was messed up badly . "Twilight ?" asked Celestia . "What happened?" .

"I have bad news Princess , they overwhelmed my forces and those of my brother with firepower that none of us have seen before , our blasters couldn't take them down , neither could the royal guard nor the wonderbolts , I'm sorry Princess but I failed you to defend Trottingham' said Twilight sadly .

"You did all you could , all you can do now is wait for a better opportunity , we will show them our might' said Celestia softly . I see you Luna that are that serious in taking me down ! Fine then I won't go down THAT easily , you may have won Trottingham but I assure you 'sister' that we will defeat you one way or another ! . the white alicorn walked back and forth until she had an idea of her own . Looking toward the moon and the stars themselves this was her idea .

All I would have to do is find some sort of breathable planet set up several shipyards and a central base and begin to build up my own solar fleet , but that would mean that I'll have to force to develop some sort of space armor that is enchanted then build my fleet and research more weapons armor , and even vehicles .

The young princess soon left her teachers side and soon walked toward her own room to think up a new way to crush that human and find his weaknesses.

HOW! How did he beat me in that battle , my troops should have easily overpowered his , that's right they didn't have a leader , well no matter I plan to get one … but where perhaps somepony not in Ponyville but somewhere in Hoofington … well that could work but we will need a new Royalguard a Royal guard that can fight back and push forward … yes it could be Flash Sentry … perfect .

Those lunar forces won't have a chance … but wait a minute maybe I could search through the academy of the Royal guard and see if anypony there could lead our forces in space . Thought Twilight .

She would have to wait for tomorrow and start to really build up the Royal guard get ponies who can put up a real fight .

"This will take time!" muttered Twilight as she paced back and forth working a plan to help the royal guard . "Oh you are going down , Seville one way or another!" said Twilight with a evil grin .
