Lightning's POV

I looked at Dark, who was looking at the screen with confusion. If I die I thought I will haunt the borg leader until IT dies. " This is captain Lightning Strike of the- " I got cut off. " We are the borg " The voice said " Surrender you vessel, and prepare for assimilation. " I started sweating and my heart starting beating faster. " I don't thi-" I was cut off again. " Resistance is futile. " The voice said. I was about to order my crew to open fire when out of nowhere, two ponies beam aboard. I raised an eyebrow and noticed something different about them. It looked like they were half pony- half robot.

I reached for a phaser out of my belt. I pulled it out and fired at one of the ponies. It had no effect on them. One of them raised their arms and prepared to fire. i looked right next to me and Dark had his phaser out too. I motioned for him to get to the escort and take off. He nodded and rushed out of the bridge and down the halls. I looked forward again and cracked my neck. Shit was about to go down, and I was the one who was gonna make the shit go down. " Come at me brony. " I said to the borg. They looked at eachother and nodded.

They put their arms' down and cracked their necks too. I grinned and cracked my hooves. I looked at the bridge crew and I motioned for them to stand back. All the bridge crew gathered into one massive group in a corner. One of them had popcorn and began to eat it. I looked back at the borg and started to charge at them.

Dark's POV

I was galloping down the halls, my heart beating extremely fast. I turned a corner and continued galloping. I hope I know where i'm going. I thought to myself. I turned another corner and saw a sign that said hangar. I started galloping even faster then ever. I rounded a corner and found myself in the hangar. I looked straight ahead and saw the escort. I ran on board and to the bridge. I entered the bridge and sat down in the captains chair. " TAKE OFF! " I yelled to the pilot. He nodded vigorously and pressed a few buttons. We began to rise until we almost hit the ceiling. We drove out of the hangar and waited behind the ship. I heard Lightning's voice somewhere. I realized it was coming from my combadge. " I held down a button on my combadge and said " Go ahead Lightning. " " DESTROY THE BORG CUBE NOW! " He YELLED.

I didn't realize why until I saw it. The borg cube was firing at the U.S.S STRIKE. The pilot must'vs heard because we imeddiantly started flying towards to cube. When we were in range I took a deep breath. ' FIRE ALL WEAPONS! " I yelled into the intercom. Suddenly, all of out weapons started firing. I looked down at the U.S.S STRIKE and it was firing some sort of purple beam at the cube. I looked back at the cube and I saw explosions everywhere on the cube. I realized what the purple beam did. It drained shields. We continued our fire until the borg cube blew up into green gases. We started heading back to the ship. I got up and started running down the halls of the escort. I finally arrived at the airlock door. I waited for our ship to land. As soon as the ship entered the hangar, I jumped out, without it landing yet. I hit the ground, but I used my fore hooves to soften the impact.

I ran out of the hangar and into the halls. I only had one thought on my mind and that thought was I hope Lightning held out against those borg.

Lightning's POV ( flashback five minutes)

I started to charge at them. I felt like I was a fool to try and fight these ponies in hoof to hoof combat. I threw my right fore hoof at one of the borg. My hoof had made contact with him buut it seemed to have no effect on him. He looked at me with an unamused face. I grinned weakly and gulped. He then grabbed me and threw me across the room. I hit a wall and slid down the wall. The impact had hurt my head a bit. My vision was blurred when I slowly stood up. I shook my head and the burr wore off. I started charging at one. I headbutten him which knocked him over a console and pressed a green button. I looked out a window and saw that a purple beam had emitted from my ship. I turned back to the pony, which had now gotten up. I kicked him halfway across the room. I silently cheered but my victory was short lived. I felt and metal touch on my back. I tensed up and slowly turned around. The borg pony had an arm phaser to my head. Well buck me sideways. I thought. I looked out the window and saw the borg cube blow up. The explosion rumbled the ship which knocjed me and the brog pony off our hooves.

I got up and was about to kick the borg pony's flank, and then iI felt a metal touch on my back. I turned around and I was face to face with the other borg pony. It grabbed my right fore hoof. It suddenly started tugging on my hoof. By the time I realized what it was doing, It had done it. I ripped off half of my right for leg. I screamed in pain. It threw my useless hoof behind him. My mind was screaming in pain. It looked behind itself and found a console. It broke the console and grabbed a piece of glass. It turned around a showed no emotion. I tried to crawl away, but it grabbed me by my tail and pulled me back. It turned me around and I whimpered. I took the piece of glass and stabbed it into my right eye. I lost vision in that eye and everything went black and white. I screamed in pain even louder than before. It let me go and watched me suffer. I crawled to a wall, the pain getting even worse every second. My heart started eating even faster. I watched my half leg bleed. I heard a door open. I looked over and saw Dark. I managed a weak grin. I them felt dizzy and fell to the floor. The last thing I saw before blacking out was Dark looking over at me, With a creeped out look.

Dark's POV

When i entered to bridge, I looked to my right and nearly threw up. I saw Lightning, Leaning up against a wall, half of his right fore leg gone, with a piece of glass stabbed into his eye. He then gave me a weak grin and slumped. Anger was raging inside me. I wanted grab both those borg ponies and rip them to shred's. I then looked to my left and saw The whole crew cowering in a corner. I facehoofed and looked back at the borg. I held up my hoof and thrunderbolts were dancing across my hoof. I gave the borg the most evil smile anypony could ever make. I shot Lightming out of hoof and it made contact with one of the borg. He instantly started spazzing out and then fell to the floor, unconscious. I looked towards to the other one and shot another lightning bolt out of my hoof. That borg spazzed out and fell to the floor unconscious. I lowered my hooves and blew to the smoke off of them

I instanly looked over a Lightning. I saw a pool of blood near his half leg. I trotted over to him. and felt his pulse. He was still alive, but barely. I put him onto my back and looked over to the bridge crew. " I need a senior medical officer. " I called out. A pony stepped out of the crowd and walked towards me. " Follow me. " I said. We bolted out the door and down the halls towards to sickbay. My coat might be getting bloody, But I don't care. He's my friend, and I don't abandon friends. We arrived at the sickbay and I lied him on a bed. The senior medical officer came over to his bedside and laid out a medical kit. He opened it and I saw a Robotical half leg, Some knives, Blood packets, tweezers, and an artifical red eye.

" Please go wait in the other room please. " He said to me. I shrugged and went to the other room. I saw a chair and sat down on it. I started at a clock on a wall. "3:07 Pm" it read. I sighed and closed my eyes to fall asleep.

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

I was being poked my somepony's hoof. " Get up." He said. I opened my eyes and found myself still on the same chair I fell asleep in. " The captain's alright, Dark." The pony said. I got up from the chair and he led me into the room Lightning was in. When I walked in, I gasped. Lightning was still in bed, but he was different. He had a robotic half leg that replaced his torn off one. It was a black metal replacment, with small red lights on it. I looked at his eyes and noticed his right eye was replaced with a black ball with small red pupil. His coat was still stained with blood. I looke at my back and I realzied my coat had blood on it too. I shrugged and went back to looking at Lightning. " He won't be waking up for at least 4 days. Until then, you can captain the ship." The pony said. I smiled weakly. " Celestia sent the ship a hail saying she's actually gonna authorize another ship just like this, built for you. It's gonna be top secret also. Only the crew of this ship and Celestia know about these prototype ships." He said. I grinned and left the room, lookung back at Lightning one more time. I found myself walking in the halls to the bridge. Everypony that I passed saluted to me. I entered the bridge and looked around. The blood puddle was cleaned up, and everything was back to normal. I went to sit down in the capatin's chair. I walked with swag to the chair. I sat down on the chair and grinned.

" Helm. " I said. " Yes ,sir? " Rainbow dash said. " plot a course for the delta cluster. " I replied. She nodded and began setting the course. I looked at the screen and saw the warp bar at the top. The bar started filling up until we started to accelerate. Our naucelles ( The ships engine stick things ) Glowed blue and we went to warp.

I wrote this chapter so long because I can. I also did it because I had extra time.
