Pony Trek
Chapter 5: Back in action
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was in a white, endless room, With just me in there. I have no idea how I got here. Am I dead? I thought. I blinked my eyes a couple of times. I was still in the white room. I sat up and looked around. There was no end to this room. No door, no windows, and nopony was here. I stood up on all fours and groaned. I was trapped, in a white room, with nopony else. I wondered what I could do in here. I spread my wings out, and took flight. I could always try to do my electro-boom. I hovered in the air and pondered the situation.
I wouldn't know where the ground was, so It's probably not the best idea to try my electro-boom. Then again, I really want to try my electro-boom. I shrugged and started flying upwards. The wind in my mane, air flowing past me, I felt good. I continued upward until I figured this is as high as I should go. I stared downwards, Wondering what would it be like to pull off an electro-boom. I wish I had my goggles right now. Suddenly, goggles appeared on my fore head. I pulled them down to my eyes, and grinned. I started heading straight down, Speed increasing every second. I put my hooves out in front of me to make me more aerodynamic.
I noticed a cone started to form around me. The air was wizzing right past me. The cone started to become more arrow like. I pushed my wings as hard as I could, my heart beating very fast. In an instant, I proppeled forward, leaving a yellow taril behind me. I looked behind me and saw a circle of electricity spreading through out the room. I looked back at the white ground. I pulled up and started to slow down. My cone disspappeared and I came to rest on the ground. I sat down, and looked in awe at the trail and circle in had left. I was left panting, and I was in awe.
I lied down on the floor, and took deep breaths. For the next like, 30 minutes, I was resting. I finally had the energy to stand up on all fours again. I had the weirdest feeling, that I could stand up on my haunches. I slowly life my fore hooves off the ground and straightened out my body. I was just standing there, on two legs, my fore hooves at my side. This is awesome! I thought. I stepped forward, very carefully. I brought my other hoof forward. I tried doing it at a little faster pace, until I was walking like a human. I grinned and yelled " I am invincible!" I suddenly started seeing a familiar room. It was the sickbay on my ship. I wondered why this was happening. I noticed something a little bit odd about the room. I saw a pony, in a bed, with a robotic right fore hoof, and an artificial right eye. I realized something that made me shivver. It was me.
----------------------------------------------------------------
I awoke in the sickbay, my back aching with pain. I dared not open my eyes, but I must peek. I opened my right eye and then realized I was foolish for doing so. I opened my left eye and blinked once. My surroundings were normal. I was in the sickbay on my ship. I struggled to sit up in the bed. I looked to my right fore hoof and sighed. There was just a robotic hoof. I pulled myself out of bed, and onto two hooves. I could still walk on my haunches, pretty cool, right? I walked over to a computer and turned it on. A screen said, "eye identification please". I put my eyes up to the screen and it started scanning. " hello Captain strike, how may I assist you?" It asked. " where are we?" I asked. " We are currently in the delta cluster. PONYfleet sent us here to investigate the disappearence of ships in the area." The machine replied. I walked away from the computer and to the door to the halls. I ducked under the door on the way out, since I was still standing on my haunches.
I was walking down the hall, nopony to be seen. I walked by a door and it opened. A pony came out and stopped in her tracks. The pony was Rainbow dash. She raised her eyebrow and opened her mouth to speak.
" Captain, why are you out of bed and why are you walking on your haunches?" She asked. " Well first of all Lieutenant Rainbow dash, I'm going to the bridge." I replied " and second, Buck you, I do what I want." I walked past her and broke into a human run down the halls. I smiled* squee* and Whistled. I ran past many doors, and none opened. I came to a stop in front of a turbolift. I walked inside and pressed a button for the bridge. The turbolife started going up and elevator music started to play. I whistled while switching from hoof to hoof, preparing to run. The turbolife made a ding and the door opened. I walked out of the turbolift and saw many ponies staring at me, with raised eyebrows. I walked forward and to a very amused Dark lightning.
" Ah, Captain, I was waiting for you" Dark said. " What's the situation?" I asked. He pointed out a window to a disabled miranda class frigate.
" We need to investigate that ship, Captain." He said calmly." Our shuttles aren't working and our transporter room is under repairs. We can get to that ship by going out into space. Luckily, your new robotic hoof has a space suit installed into it. Just press this button here." He pressed a button on my hoof and metal started coming out of it. It started to cover my body, until my neck and head were the only things that were able to be seen normaly.
I pressed the button again and the remaining part of me was covered. the helmet had a visor to look out, and light was coming out of the visor, so I could see in dark places.This is what it looked like.
I noticed a hole in a wall in a bridge where a force field was preventing stuff from being sucked out and to keep air in. I looked back to him, but he was gone. I looked at the force field again and he was there, in a space suit that looked like mine. He motioned for me to come over there. I walked over there, still walking on my haunches. He walked out onto the hull of our ship. I walked out and my suit said " Entering space." I tried to walk, but my suit slowed me down so I could stay on the hull of our ship. I walked over the him and looked over at the miranda. It wasn't as nearly as big as out ship, but It was still pretty big.
Dark jumped off the hull and jets started coming form his haunches. He directed himself in the direction of the miranda, and started off towards the miranda. I gulped and jumped off the ship. I positioned myself in the direction of the miranda and proppeled forward. I looked back to our ship and noticed it getting farther away. I looked back towards the miranda and headed in the direction of the hangar.
