“Everyone okay back there?” I said, taking my helmet off and rubbing my neck.
“We’re good back here” replied Gavriil.
Gavriil joined me in the cockpit. We were in orbit now. We were actually in space. Gravity was still present on the ship. We looked forward to see Discord’s fleet above the planet. There were hundreds of ships all in formation; all different shapes and sizes. Frigates, Cruisers, fighter support craft and in the centre was Discord’s massive dread-naught. More ships rose from the atmosphere to join his massive fleet. It was clear they were preparing to jump to Equestria. Another fleet flew next to Discord’s fleet but it was making sure that it didn’t mix with his ships. This smaller fleet was coloured light blue with purple trim and all ships had Trixie’s cutie mark. Trixie’s ship was, I assumed, the huge one in the middle. It was actually just as big as Discord’s ship. Large rectangular shape with huge blue energy weapon batteries on the sides of the hull. It had a pointed nose and ‘Great and Powerful’ was written down the side of the ships hull.

To the right, towards the moon, we could see another small fleet moving towards Discord’s fleet. These ships were completely different design and the one in the middle was themed to Luna; black and blue with sparkles. Luna’s ships all looked similar to each other: Two large, almost flat, side ways segments tilted sideways at a thirty degree angle, forming almost an arrow shape, pointed forward from out the main hull of the ship. The main hull of the ship was a long narrow shape that got slightly thicker as you looked towards the back. The ships had massive gun barrels coming out of the ship and ran down the middle of the two forward segments, leaving a small amount of space between each segment and itself. The larger ships had another slightly smaller barrel on top of the first and Luna’s ship had a square quad barreled weapon coming out the front instead. All ships were covered in smaller gun batteries all over the hull and all ships had large engines at the back.

Luna’s fleet was moving in towards Discord’s. She was going to try and stop him. Her fleet had maybe eighty ships while Discord’s had at least three hundred and Trixie had at least fifty of her own. Luna didn’t stand a chance.
“She doesn’t stand a chance” I said in quiet shock.
“What can we do Comrade?” Gavriil asked in despair.
“I know what we can do...”
I put our engines to max and blasted forward towards Trixie’s fleet.

As we got close we could see Discord and Trixie’s fleets releasing their fighters from the hangers. The fighters heading straight for Luna’s fleet. Luna released her own fighters to counter-act the enemy fighters. The main ships were still out of range of each other so we still had some time.
“What exactly are we doing Comrade?” asked Gavriil doubtfully
“We are going to land on Trixie’s ship. We take Trixie out and use her ship’s weapons to fire on Discord’s fleet”
“Oh...” Gavriil was unsure of my plan.
We approached the ship’s hangers. Some fighters were still leaving. We managed to fly in undetected and landed on the hanger floor. We opened the transport doors and took a scan of the hanger. There were many guards but they didn't seem to take much notice of us. They must have thought we were one of theirs.
“C‘mon guys! Let’s get to the bridge!” I whispered loudly just before putting my helmet back on.

We made our way to the bridge. Earlier on I had used my Utility Computer (Wrist Computer) to hack a console for the schematics of the ship so I knew where I was going. Sneaking through the ships corridors and avoiding many of the patrols. There were only ponies on this ship so if we got caught it wouldn’t be much trouble. We were only a few levels below the bridge now. All we needed to do was-
“Oi! Freeze!”
“Oh shit! We’re compromised!” I yelled “Return fire!”
The pony guards fired at us and we fired back. Me, Gavriil and Liam took cover behind the support beams while Dracos just walked up to the ponies, bullets bouncing off his scales, and picked them up by their throats. They dropped their guns and tried to brake Dracos’ grip with their hooves. Dracos just stood there and strangled them to death.
“What the hell?!? You didn’t have to kill them! You could have just knocked them out!” I complained.
“Don’t worry Human. They’re just unconscious”
At that moment an alarm was sounded.
“Warning! Intruder alert! Repeat! Intruder alert! Intruders were last seen on deck 17, sector 3-C”
“C’mon! We gotta go!” I suggested.

We were only down the corridor from the bridge now but we had been caught by many guards. Eight guards had taken defensive positions around the bridge door. We took cover by the support beams that stuck out of the wall. Dracos was having trouble staying in cover behind the beams due to his size but his scales protected him.
“Curry! Behind us!”
More ponies had come behind us from down the corridor. Me and Gavriil turned round to return fire. Dracos moved out of cover and ran towards the bridge door. We pulled back slowly with him. I looked back to see him taking out the eight guards with melee combat. I then focused again on returning fire at the ponies down the corridor.
“Pull back! Back now!” I ordered.
Dracos finished off the last guard and yelled at us to get in the door. Once we were in I lobbed a grenade through the door and Dracos smashed the control panel. This was followed by explosions and screams being heard from behind the door.

We walked through the computer lab and through another door to the bridge. No-Pony was here. We looked around for a bit but found nothing. I approached the main panels that were by the glass window. Out of the window I could see Luna’s fleet coming in range. Both fleets began to open fire on each other, including this ship. The others were beside me now.
“How is this ship firing if the ship is uncontrolled” I asked in confusion.
“Auxiliary control room!” replied a smug toned female.
“Trixie!” I yelled, turning to face Trixie who was standing behind us. We all turned to face her.
“I knew you would come! Do you think I’m a fool?”
“No...” I said calmly. I then pulled up my weapon and shouted “I just think your a bitch!” before firing a full clip at her. She had made an energy barrier around herself, just like Twilight except it was blue for Trixie.
“Ah ha ha. You think you can stop me?!?”
Her horn began to glow and some of the floor boards began to rip from the floor. She threw the floor boards at us with her levitation, taking out Dracos and Liam. Gavriil ducked under them while I managed to catch the one thrown at me and toss it behind me. Me and Gavriil opened fire on her but she made another barrier. She then threw a couple more floor boards at us, hitting both me and Gavriil. I was fine as my suit protected me but Gavriil was badly hurt.

“I’d finish you off but I’d hate to rip anymore of my ship up. Tempest Warriors!!”
The door behind her opened and three super soldiers walked out. One had a mini-gun, another had a rocket launcher and the one at the front had...
“...a chainsaw?!?”
“Yeah! A chainsaw!” Retorted the super soldier.
“That voice! Those scratch marks on his armour!”
“Yeah! Remember me dick head! I’m the one you knocked off your chopper!”
“Oh shit! I made you mad didn’t I?”
Trixie levitate herself way above the floor towards the roof to stay out the way. The first super soldier step forward with his mini-gun and started to fire away. I quickly ran across to my right, bullets spraying at my feet and the wall right behind me. I jumped behind some panels for cover. I peered over the top and- Boom! The panels were hit by a rocket. The explosion thew me against the wall. The soldier loaded another rocket while the other two moved round the room to surround me.
“So you don’t want to rip the floor boards but you’re happy to let him blow it up everything?” I said, looking at Trixie angrily. She just grinned at me.
I jumped up and over the panels, drawing some Semtex and throwing it at the soldiers rocket launcher. Before he could fire again I set off the Semtex, blowing him away and destroying his rocket launcher. The mini-gun soldier began to fire at me. I ran at him, taking a few bullets, and jumped to kick the mini-gun out of his hands. He tried to draw a large pistol but I kicked that away too. He then punched, I ducked. He kicked and I jumped over it. I then jumped up and kicked him in the helmet. He was knocked back and I moved to attack again. The rocket launcher guy had got up and tried to attack me also. I drew my assault and fired at him before he drew his own pistol. The rocket launcher guy dropped dead. Everyone looked at him in shock.
“Get him!!” Yelled Trixie bossily.
The two super soldiers moved to attack me again. One threw a punch and I jumped aside to dodge it. The second came in with his chainsaw. The ship then Violently shook as we were hit by massive fire from Luna’s fleet. We all stumbled over.
----------
“Luna Ma’am. All ships are engaging. Stable company are moving in to flank the enemy and Iron company are moving above Discord’s fleet for bombardment maneuvers”
“Excellent. I want Apple company to back us up. We are moving for Discord’s ship”
“Rodger that Ma’am. Notifying Apple company”
----------
I got up and ran for my rifle. Before I could reach it a super soldier stepped on it and prepared to clobber me with his fists. Before he could, Dracos tackled him. Those two started to fight and I grabbed my rifle. The second one came at me with his chainsaw. I used my gun to block it. His chainsaw began to spark at my gun as it scratched violently on it. Both my hands held either end of my gun as I tried to push back the sharp blades. Another blast from Luna’s fleet knocked us off our feet again. I turned to find that the first soldier had beaten up Dracos. He ran at me and threw another punch. I dodged it and kicked him in the knee and then kicked him away with another kick to the stomach. I drew my blade and approached him. Before I could strike at him I was suddenly put into a massive shock as a chainsaw blade went into my shoulder.
----------
“Luna Ma’am! Apple, Iron and Buck company are down. Stable and Hay company are taking heavy casualties”
“Ma’am! Our shields are down twenty percent!”
“Gun batteries 5 through 8 and 11 through 17 are down”
“Ma’am! Multiple power surges on decks 8 and 19”
“Alright! Bring all power to shields! and get teams down there to fix those guns!”
“Rodger Ma’am. Diverting power from the engines. Notifying engineer teams”
----------
The chainsaw blades were sawing at my shoulder bone. The armour slowed it down and I managed to react before my arm was torn off. I threw a grenade down and pulled the chainsaw out of me. I jumped away before the grenade blew up. The second soldier approached and threw a punch at me again. I was in too much pain and didn’t react in time to dodge. Just before his fist hit me I grabbed it with my hand, stopping it in it’s path. He threw his other hand at me I grabbed that too and we were now in a stale mate. He then started forcing his energy into his fists. I tried to fight him but my feet started to just slide.
“Warning. User has sustained lethal flesh and bone damage. Attempting to repair” said the female computer voice in my helmet. “Warning, extreme pressure is present in shoulder wound. Recommend you relax your shoulder immediately”
The soldier then lifted his hands so I would be forced on my knees. My suit was becoming drained of it’s power as it tried to fight against the soldier. My helmet’s HUD was flashing red, coming up with a power warning.
“Warning. Power levels at Twenty percent. Warning. Arm hydraulics under extreme pressure” said the female computer voice.

After another minute of fighting I was finally on my knees, barely holding him back.
“Ah ha ha ha ha! You were no match for my super soldiers! They have been magically enhanced by my GREAT power” taunted Trixie as she lowered herself to the floor again. I was then kicked in the chest by the other super soldier.
----------
“Ma’am! Shields are down, ten percent!”
“Ma’am! Discords ship is moving towards us. It’s charging it’s main weapon!”
“All power to shields! Brace for impact!”
“Diverting all power to shields”
“Weapon is firing an- Urgh!!”
----------
I was now on my knee’s in front of Trixie who stood staring out into the battle field. I was being held down by both the super soldiers. She turned to look at me.
“It’s over Courage” she said with a chuckle.
“Why are you doing this?!?” I asked, begging to know.
“Why? Why?!? Because I was outcast by the others. I was humiliated and ridiculed. Everyone hated me! They thought I was a bitch. I was soon rejected everywhere. You have no idea how that feels; To have no one to look after you, to be there for you”
“Actually I do know how that feels now, thanks to you mostly; KILLING ALL MY FRIENDS!”
“Well. To bad. If I have to go through with it then so should everyone else”
“C’mon Trixie. This isn’t you”
“What in Equestria are you talking about?”
“Look at all this. Armies of Soldiers, giant space fleets, evil plots of world domination. This isn’t you at all...”
She looked at me, lifting an eyebrow.
“You’re not an evil bitch. A little misunderstood maybe but your not evil. All you ever wanted was some attention from the other ponies, everyone does every once in a while. You just tried to get it in the wrong way and they shunned you for it. I can understand that your angry and want revenge but this isn’t right. You know it isn’t right. I know that deep down there’s a good pony inside of you that's just dieing to get out...”
She started to cry, but sniffed and stood firm, trying to hide it.
“...you don’t have to do this. You can still be a good pony. Stop this. Stop all of this...”
“It’s too late...” her eyes began to water and her voice was cracked. “It’s already in motion!”
“No it’s not too late! There is still a chance for you to redeem yourself here”
----------
“Shields are down!”
“We’re venting atmosphere on decks, 6, 7 ,9, 15, 42 and 43!”
“Main gun is off-line!”
“Get a medical team down here now!”
“Ma’am! Discord is charging his weapon again!”
“Princess, we won’t survive another hit!”
“I know Twilight... Get to the escape pods!”
“What about you?”
“I’m staying here to do what I can. A few weapon batteries are still online and firing”
“I’m not leaving you here princess!”
“Ma’am. Escape pods are down. No-pony is going anywhere”
----------
“Stop this Trixie! Do the right thing!”
“I can’t!”
“Yes! You can! You’re the great and powerful Trixie!”
Her ears fell back and looked completely hopeless. Her eyes were watering and she was biting her lip.
“Do the right thing Trixie...”
----------
“Ma’am! Weapon is charging!”
“Can you get shields back online?”
“No ma’am, the generator is fried”
“What about help from the rest of the fleet”
“No ma’am. All ships are either down or unable to reach us”
“...then it’s over... it’s... It’s over...”
----------
“Do the right thing Trixie. Do the right thing...”
