I got up from the captains chair, feeling as if I was an old pony. I looked out across the bridge. I saw ponies trotting across the bridge holding clipboards. I groaned and started trotting towards my lounge. The door to the lounge opened and I trotted in.

I walked over to my desk and sighed. I took a picture of my father out of a drawer. I looked at it with sorrow. I thought about all the good times we had. I put the photo back in the drawer. I walked back out to the bridge.

" How long untill we reach the griffon fleet? " I called out to rainbow dash. " About 30 seconds " She replied. I went and sat back down in the captain's chair. I stared directly ahead, thinking about what we're going to face. I looked at Rainbow Dash. A drop of sweat was rolling down her forehead. I looked at a button right next to me. I decided to press it.

" ALL CREW MEMBERS, WE ARE ON RED ALERT, I REPEAT, WE ARE ON RED ALERT. " I said through the intercom.
Red alarms started flashing and sirens started wailing.

" out of warp in 3- " Rainbow Dash said, "2-1". We suddenly pulled out of warp in a war zone. I saw at least 10 griffon ships and only 5 PONYFLEET ships. There were beams firing everywhere. Suddenly, one of the PONYFLEET ships was destroyed. " EVAISIVE MANEUVERS! " I yelled. I noticed a chunk of debris was right in front of us. I closed my eyes and waited for the end. Nothing happened. All i heard was beams firing and crew yelling. I opened my eyes and saw that we dogded that chunk of debris.

" FIRE ALL WEAPONS! " I yelled. I saw our beams starting to hit the griifon ships. " Captain, a ship is hailing us. It seems to be the S.W.A.G Abyss " Rarity said. " Put them on screen " I said dully.

Suddenly, an image appeared on the screen. There was a black pony with a black and red mane in his capatins chair.
Suddenly a chunk of the roof came down and landed next to him. In the background I saw multiple fires. One of his officers yelled that his shields were at 47%. " This is captain Dark Lightning of the S.W.A.G Abyss " Dark Lightning said.

" This is captain Lightning Strike of the U.S.S STRIKE " I said. " WE NEED IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE OVER HERE! i'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER WE CAN HOLD THEM OFF! " He shouted. Suddenly, the message was disrupted and some griffons were firing at us. " MAXIMUM POWER TO SHIELDS! " I yelled. Suddenly, a console blew up near me. A chunk of ceiling came down and crashed with a THUD, killing many ponies.

We kept our weapons firing on the griffon ships. I looked at a red button next to me. It said DO NOT PRESS! I ignored that warning and pressed the red button. A blue projectile was fired at a griffon ship, destroying it, but causing great damage to our ship. " Shields are at 42% sir! " Rarity yelled. I looked to another button. This one was yellow. I pressed it and suddenly our shields rose to a little bit over full capacity. I grinned as our ship continued to destroy griffons hips. One after another, the griffons ships fell until one remained, and that was the one attcking the S.W.A.G Abyss. I neared the griffon flagship and began to fire everything. The griffon flagship focused it's fire on my ship.

" FIRE THE FRIENDSHIP CANNON! " I yelled. Suddenly a rainbow beam shot out of my ship and destroyed the griffon flagship. I neared the S.W.A.G Abyss and this is what it looks like.

I hailed the ship and told my crew to beam over and help them repair the ship. An image appeared on screen and Dark Lightning had a few cuts on him but otherwise he was fine. He also had the hugest grin on his face. There was still debris and fire in the background. " You saved me and my crew's asses, so I am now forever in your debt. As you can see, we took a lot of hits during that battle. We shall begin repairs as soon as possible. " Dark Lightning said, rubbing his hoof on his chin.

" There's one thing I don't get. " I said, " why would the griffons attack now? They haven't attacked for many years. I am beggining to wonder if this is starting a whole new war .". " That's what's on my mind too " Dark Lightning said.

I looked at him with a serious expression and said " This is just the beggining of their attacks. ". " let's just get back to Equestria Space Dock " Dark lightning said. We both activated our warp cores and started warping back to Equestria Space Dock.
