10:55…

Equestrian waters…

I watched as the chariot grew closer and closer to the ship.

“Captain, orders!” Came the lieutenant again. I turned around and ran into the wheelhouse and looked out over the bow at the main battery cannons. We have to make them stop, and what better way to do it, than with a little deterrence. I motioned for the phone, I had an idea. Receiving the phone I relayed my orders.

“Attention fire control room, train turret one and two, to longitude set 009, elevation set 002. Adjust to the approaching target, stand by for orders.” I said after clicking the fire room button.”

“Aye aye Captain. Weapons are locked and loaded ready to fire, training guns now.” After he spoke a metallic drone came from the front of the ship, I watched as our six main cannons turned slowly towards the port side, all the sailors on the main deck evacuated immediately. After turning they slammed into place and adjusted to the chariot, the gun barrels lifted into the air and tracked the target.

“Guns are aimed, ready to fire, window of opportunity, two minutes.” The phone came back. I turned back to the phone.

“Aye, stand by.” After hanging up, I redialed and called the port side 5 inch cannons.

“All turrets port side, train weapons 90 degrees east, and take aim at the target, then stand by.” After the phone came back with an aye aye, I heard the guns turn quicker than the main cannons as they also trained the barrels at the target. I gave the phone back to the sailor and ran out to the deck again and grabbed a megaphone from a sailor and placed up to my mouth.

“Attention unknown aircraft, you are entering our air space, I am ordering you to halt your moment towards us, or else I will open fire on you.” As I said this I heard the five inch guns ready up with the sound of their guns cocking. I held up my hand to stop them from firing. As I look up from the gun below me,I noticed that the object has stopped moving.

“Good, they speak, or at least understand english,” I look out over the men on deck, with their weapons aimed at the target. “All hands stand down and stand by, they’re willing to negotiate.” I look back to the horse in flight as I raise my megaphone again.

“Okay, now hear this! If you can understand us and are will to talk, peacefully, please remove any weapons you have and then you will be permitted to move!” I yelled out. As I did this, another horse arrived next to the chariot. It was Blue with a Rainbow mane, and it seemed to be talking to the larger one. I figured the bigger one is some kind of ruler. They talked for a few minutes, then a second pony arrived at the chariot. This one had a pink mane and yellow fur. The blue one turned to the yellow one and talked to her as well. While they did that, I noticed the chariot dropping two long objects into the ocean. Before they hit the water, I got a glance at them, two spears with shiny tips and wooden handles.

“Alright, so they don’t have guns.,Good; good that’s what I want to see.” I said under my breath. I looked through the binoculars again, to see if I could spot any other weapons on them. Luckily after looking them over for about a minute or two, I couldn't find one.

Nodding, I let the binoculars fall onto my neck by its strap, and I pulled up the megaphone once again.

“Okay, now hear this! Thank you for complying with our demands, I will allow you to move up closer, but slowly, I don’t want to see any quick movements, or else I will open fire, and your friends may come along as well. Just keep them in sight!” I ordered to the horses. They all seemed to look at each other as they communicated. A few seconds later the blue and yellow horse fell behind the white one, and the chariot began to move closer.

The sailors around me began to move closer with their weapons drawn as if they would intimidate the horses from doing anything drastic. I could only assume it was working. They were a few feet away when I heard someone talking. It sound very feminine and young, like a schoolgirl or something along those lines.

“Fluttershy, stop shivering! You’re shaking me!” It wasn’t the big horse, her mouth didn’t move, so it must have been one of the two behind her. I look over at the sailors that stand next to me, they eyes level with the sights, fingers close to the triggers, their helmets block their eyes, cast a shadow over their face. The stance of a killer, the second world war taught them well. The chariot was inches from the balcony when they decided to slow down to a stop.

I look down to myself, covered in blood and bandages with scars and gashes showing everywhere. I was not in any position to talk in my current state. But, they came to us, and their has to be a reason.

As they came to a stop, I placed my hands on the railing and leaned in. Grinning with my teeth, I started the white horse down, trying to look at intimidating as possible, so they wouldn’t even think of doing something stupid. The horse I stared at had a
multi-colored mane, white fur, and wore golden hoof covers, she also donned a golden crown on her head.

I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming or topped out on drugs, but these talking horses weren't a figment of my imagination, and to be honest, they had some explaining to do.

“Good evening, miss,” I said in a soft voice. I watched as her eyes widened up as one of her hoofs raised up, as if she was surprised, “Welcome to my ship, I guess you can I’m pleased to meet you.” Her hoof lowered as I leaned up from the railing placing my hands on my hips.

“Yes, good evening to you as well, I’m Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria, the leader of the land behind me.” I look behind her to the mountains, and nod. I look back to her and decided to apologize for coming to her land and possibly scarring thousands of civilians.

“Okay, good, some form of royalty. Ma’am, I would first like to say, I’m very sorry for our intrusion on your waterways, we did not mean to come here-” Before I could continue, she raised a hoof and stopped me. I froze mid sentence, as the sailors raised their guns to fire, when I stopped them.

“You need not apologize for your presents here, this is not your fault, it is mine.” Hearing this I moved in closer to the railing and moved my head closer to her as the men around me lowered their guns in disbelief.

“Wait, you brought us here? Why?” I asked a little louder than normal. She closed her eyes and pointed back towards the shore.

“One of my students, caused a rift between two worlds, our world, and your world. But something unplanned happened the rift grew too big, and accidently pulled you through.” I nodded slowly, still listening. The men around me began whispering and murmuring to themselves, passing comments about the horses.

“Well, can you send us back?” I ask quickly. The men around me stop talking and look back to the horse. Looking back to us, she slowly shook her head no.

“Sorry, as of right now, I cannot, I need to document this accident and re evaluate it so we can found out what went wrong, then we can send you back once we figure out how.” She said the men around me gave a chorus of displeased sighs.

“How long will this take?” I asked worryingly.

“One year, or more.”
