Alarms were sounding and explosions were heard. Screams were heard throughout the ship.

I tossed and turned on bed, Trying to muffle out all the noises. I snapped open my eyes and stared at the ceiling.

I was suddenly thrown out of my bed and onto the floor. Suddenly, My mother burst into the room, her eyes filled with terror.

I struggled to my hooves and looked up. My mother grabbed me and said " GET TO THE BRIDGE! ".

She let me go and I started galloping through the halls to the bridge. I looked to my right and saw a monitor. It had the picture of the ship on it.

I eventually reached the Bridge. I was suddenly sent down onto the floor as another console blew up. I saw my dad on the captains chair, giving out orders.

He looked over to where I was and he gave me a sad look. I looked out the forward window. I saw what was Attacking us. It was.... Some sort of ghost ship.

"I'M PROMOTING YOU TO FIRST OFFICER!" My father yelled at me. Suddenly another explosion threw me across the room.

My vision blurred as I fell to the floor. I had a foul taste in my mouth. Yup, sure enough, it was blood.

I struggled to my hooves and looked back out the window. Our ship had lots of holes in it. All I could think of was " WE'RE DEAD!".

Another explosion threw me across the bridge and I slammed my head on a console. The last thing I saw before blacking out was my father manually firing all weapons.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I suddenly woke up to voices. " I sure hope he's going to be alright " A voice said. I slowly opened my eyes. I heard a few gasps.

My vision was still blurry. I could see one figure standing right next to me. My vision cleared and I saw the figure was Princess celestia.

She smiled at me as if saying " Thank goodness he's alright "

I sat up in the bed. I took notice of my surroundings. I was in a medical bay On Equestria space dock.

" Your one lucky pony, Lightning " Celestia said. I gave her a look as if saying " DUH ".

I gott out of bed and strechted my legs. I looked out a window and saw our ship in drydock. I noticed shuttles heading to the hangar.

Princess celestia gave me a serious look. " Your father........ he died in the battle against the ghost ship " Celestia said " So now your the captain "

A tear left my eye and ran down my face until it fell off my face and hit the floor. I was happy, yet sad.

I turned around and she motioned me to come with her. She led me down several halls. We finally arrived at shuttle dock 7.

We started walking down the rows of shuttles. We found a shuttle that was not being used. We boarded the shuttle and she took control. She took off and headed out of the hanger and towards the drydock where my ship was.

We started flying towards the ship. I already knew the name of the ship. It was the U.S.S. STRIKE. She was a prototype Odyssey class cruiser. We headed for the hangar bay.

When we landed in the hangar bay, I exited the shuttle and proceeded to the bridge. On my way to the bridge I looked out my window and saw my Friend's ship. The U.S.S. SIRIUS was Out of it's drydock and waiting for my ship to leave the drydock. Celestia had briefed me on the situation when we ere in the shuttle.

My ship was the flagship of the fleet. I arrived at the bridge and took my seat in the captains chair.

I looked at my bridge crew. I had Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity.

" Rainbow? " I called out. " Yes? " She responded.

" Release from the drydock " I ordered. We suddenly were released from the dry dock and we headed forward to meet with the fleet.

When we were with the fleet we were prepared to warp. " Punch it " I ordered to rainbow dash.

Suddenly, the engine roared to life. We started to move. Within a second, we were at warp.
