Chapter 9: The beggining of the end

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

So there our ship was, in a field of orange gas, with nothing else around us. Shields' were raised, beams 'powered up, and torpedos' were loaded. Our odyssey class cruiser was the best ship the federation could build.

I stood near my chair, waiting for the borg. I knew they were here because I could sense it. I came to avenge my father's death, and I wasn't leaving. The crew was afraid, anxious, and worst of all, about 10% of the crew were injured.

I had my eyes closed, and static was dancing across my hooves. I was completely focused. I then felt a disturbance in the area. My eyes snapped open and I knew, that they were here.

" RAINBOW!" I yelled " FULL POWER TO STARBOARD ENGINE!" She nodded and merely pressed a button. Our ship pitched to the side, making all of our crew stumble.

A borg cube whirreled past us and threw our ship of course. My eyes opened wide in realization what was happening. " FULL POWER TO THE PORT ENGINES! " I yelled. Our ship pitched to the other side, and another borg cube whirreled past us.

I cursed and started running to the helm. " Let me control the ship, rainbow" I calmly said. Rainbow got up and I took the seat. I put my two fore hooves on the console. I moved my left hoof forward, and the ship went right and forward at the same time. The same thing would happen if I moved my right hoof forward, but I'd go left. I Pushed both my hooves left and the ship threw itself to the left.

A borg cube went right above us and scared the whole crew. More cubes started coming past, throwing our ship around like a toy. I got thrown from my seat and landed near Rainbow. The shaking stopped, and all was quiet. The steadily rose to my hooves and cracked my back.

I shook my head and ran back to the helm. I sat down in the seat and pushed my hooves forward. Our ship started to accelerate, going faster and faster. " WARP FACTOR 5" The console read.

I got up from the helm and stormed out of the bridge. I stood in a turbolift, my eyes watering. There was something wrong with my mother. I punched a button and the turbolift started going down. I wiped a tear from my eye, knowing that all I had ever known, might be lost sometime later. I heard a BING and the turbolift door opened. I stomped out of the turbolift and started walking down a corridor. I pushed crewmen aside in my rage. I felt my heart pumping fast. I neared the sickbay. I punched through the sickbay door and headed toward a room that my mother was in. I gentely opened the door, hoping to be sneaky, but my mother always knows when I enter the room she's in.

She was lying in a bed, looking terrible. The borg had almost assimilated her, luckily I saved her.

She looked at me standing by her bedside, tears in my eyes. " There's no need to be sad my young colt" She said weakly. She looked like a borg, but she was still in control.

" But your dying mother" I said " I don't want you to die.".

" I must go on" Mother said " I must go on to see your father. I need to tell you something." I leaned in closer to hear what she must say. " You must reunite the pieces of strike" She whispered. I pulled away, and sighed.

She gave me one last look, and then her head slumped back into the pillow, her eyes staring at me like glass. Something dropped out of her hoof and landed near my hooves. I looked at the small object with curiosity. I picked it up and inspected it. It appeared to be.... Could it be? Could it be the key to winning this war? No wait... It's just a picture of My mother, my father and I at our house back in equestia.

I fell to the knees of my hind hooves and put my fore hooves on the floor. THE NANITES! THEY'RE TAKING OVER! I started seeing things that I didn't want to see. Equestia, burnt to the ground. The whole entire universe, controlled my the borg. My friends', Assimilated. I fell onto my back and I heard that awful voice in my head. I suddenly saw about 100 years in the past. It was some sort of memories with music. It was how the federation defeated the borg the first time. All the things that happened, but In about 4 minutes.

My vision started fading to the memory..... '

Dark's Pov

I was on my own ship. The newest odyssey in the fleet. I was in warp right next to Lightning's ship.

I decided to go over there to see what was going on. What I was about to do, was a gave mistake. I had a transporter built into the back of my bridge. ( Lucky Pony aren't I?) I walked over to the transporter andstood on a pad. My chief Transporter officer shrugged and beamed me over to Lightning's ship.

I found myself in his transporter room. ( Which is right next the sickbay) I walked out of the transporter room and to the sickbay. I heard some weird noises coming from the sickbay. I noticed the door was bashed open. Apparently, Lightning had a rage attack. I walked in and looked to my left. I saw the room which his mother was in. I walked in and didn't bother to look on the ground. I saw Lightning's mom dead in the bed.

I saluted for a solid minute and felt a liquid on my hoof. I looked down and saw Lightning on the floor, foam coming out of his mouth, and he was staring at the ceiling. ( WHY DO THESES THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN?!) I jumped up and held my position in midair.

What in the hay am I supposed to do now? I don't know.
