Equestria Wars Episode XIII: Revenge of the Lunar Republic
Chapter 3: Chapter 2: Garrosh's Horde
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAt Mount Phantom, a probe droid has been sent to find a fleet commanded by Garrosh while Charming Thunder and the others observed. When it arrived, the droid began to scan around the area. It eventually found a massive fleet signal and it looked and spotted a giant fleet. "Holy Luna," Danny said. "Look at all of these ships. Garrosh really is expecting an assault. But where is Garrosh' Flagship?" The probe droid began to scan around for Garrosh's flagship and that is when it was spotted. It was massive; even bigger than the other ships.
"Look at the size of that ship!" Charming Thunder shouted. "Its firepower could equal the Super Star Destroyer!"
"I knew Garrosh was resourceful but this..." Thrall said. "This is not what I had expected."
Danny then pointed at the screen as he explained, "Garrosh's fleet is very massive but with the combination of the Equestrian Empire, Phantom Consortium, and the Horde's fleets; we could easily destroy Garrosh's fleet. We need to act immediately before Garrosh could form up and regroup his forces to launch a massive assault on our empires! We should strike while they don't know we are here!" Everyone looked around before they nodded.
"Danny is right!" Celestia shouted. "We should strike and hopefully delay Garrosh's forces before they become a true real threat to us all!"
"I'll lead the assault along with Danny!" Charming Thunder added. Danny nodded and followed him out of the room.
---------------------
A massive assault fleet came out of slipstream. There were new and improved Star Destroyers, Keldabe-class Battleships, and Minotaur Frigates with the Super Star Destroyer leading the fleet. On the bridge, Danny and Charming Thunder looked at the fleet as it made their approach to Garrosh's fleet.
"Status!" Charming Thunder said.
"Weapons and shields are online, fighters are at the ready for deployment, forward shields and weapons are being boosted in power from our available power," one of the officers said.
"All ships are in position and awaiting the order to attack," another officer said.
"Begin the assault." The fleet began to advance into attack position. Newly created TIE Fighters and X-Wings began to leave the fleet to engage the enemy. Rainbow's ship; The Millennium Phoenix, was leading the TIE Fighter squadrons while Lightning's newly improved X-Wing was leading the X-Wings and Y-Wings. Danny and Charming Thunder watched as the assault happened. Garrosh's fighter assault was the old model fighters; ARC-170 Starfighters. The battle was about five to six minutes when an officer came to them.
"Sirs," the third officer said. "Apologies, but we have detected something."
"What is it?"
"An unknown ship had suddenly appeared in the sector. It has opened a transmission to Garrosh's Flagship."
"Open the transmission and don't get detected." The officer nodded and began to hack into the transmission.
"-reason why I should trust your word; stranger?" Garrosh's voice asked. That was when the completely distorted voice spoke.
"Because without my knowledge, you will fail in conquering Canterlot," the voice replied. "Besides; I'm an old enemy to the Equestrian Empire. We are after the same cause Garrosh and we can gain so much when we worked together. No ones knows nothing of my true intentions and are unaware who I am. But I'm sure that Danny will remember me. Nevertheless; I am searching for the keys to make my plan the greatest. With your aid; our faction will destroy all of our enemies."
"That does sound tempting."
"I'll give you some time to think about it. For now though; it would be in our best interest if you retreat for now and meet me in person in Sector 20 in a few weeks from now. And it would be best if you came alone with your flagship as I will come with mine."
"A-Alright."
"Excitement. I will be seeing you soon." The transmission ended.
"Sir, the ship has disappeared out of the sector in slipstream!" one of the officers reported. "The ship is still a mystery."
"Sir, Garrosh's fleet is making a retreat into slipstream and leaving the territory," the other officer reported. Charming Thunder and Danny watched as the fleet escaped. "Not only did Garrosh escaped but now... we have an enemy."
"This is bad," Charming Thunder said in worry. "We need to report it back to Celestia."
"Tell all fighters to return to the ships," Danny ordered. "Our next course will be Equestria."
"Right away, sir," an officer replied as she pushed buttons on the console in front of her.
---------------------
Arriving at Canterlot, Charming Thunder made a report to Celestia about the assault and the discovery they found. "I see," Celestia said. "The assault may be a failure, but we have made a new enemy to Garrosh's cause."
"Should we go after the one who spoke to Garrosh?" Charming Thunder asked.
"If it means discovering the new threat, yes. But not yet. We will wait a few weeks from now. When the time comes, we will find out who Garrosh spoke too and go to the coordinated this mysterious voice told him to go."
"As you say." Charming Thunder turned to leave the throne room and strolled through the halls of the castle. He entered the hanger and approached his Scurrg H-6 prototype bomber. The ship had red decal with the Equestrian Empire symbol on each wing. He climbed the ladder and sat in the cockpit. He turned on the engines and began to lift off as he plotted a course to Ponyville.
