With a few commands sent in, and the targets located and selected, I pressed a small red button and about, twenty small missiles flew from one of the automated defense turrets on the wall, and whizzed passed the airships that stuck around my Empire, I'd like to mention, that these where NOT full out full power nuclear missiles, they where about 10 feet long and a foot wide, they where about ten times more powerful than a mini nuke, but not nearly powerful enough to turn a city to glass and dust, as for the targets? That was rather simple, Hightalon Shimmering Feathers had tried to kill me over some simple oil, oil that after awhile of digging to test how deep it was under my Empire, or if it had been destroyed when the Empire was set here, I would have been completely willing to give to the Griffon Empire, with no charge to boot!

The targets where their oil refineries and coal power plants in Talonburg, a city that produced most of the power the Empire used, since it was only about three to five cities and some smaller villages, this would do major damage to the state of the Griffon Empire, with minimal loss of life, as for why I was not using normal warheads or even the fighters for this? Once again that was simple, a show of power, this would prove to Hightalon Shimmering Feathers that I could destroy anything I wanted to if I so wished, the sooner she learnt that, the sooner I could continue with my plans for this new world, while meanwhile my top magical scientists where working on a way to get us back to our world.

The missiles flew at super sonic speeds as they raced past airships, and flying creatures such as pegasi, and griffons watched as these weird missiles, compared to their hale rockets that is, flew past at speeds no one could hope to match, and sailed straight into Talonburg at twice the speed of sound, and took aim at the line of power plants, and the five oil refineries that had been placed next to one another, for efficiency and transportation of the oil and coal, and flew straight into them, with blinding flashes of light and heat the power plants and the oil refineries where instantly annihilated, and with them the workers that had been inside the buildings, seven power plants and five oil refineries, killed about 3,300 workers, since each one had around 300 staff members on site at all times while the plants where running, while the warheads had been small, they produced quite the light show, seen throughout most of the Griffon Empire, Hightalon Shimmering Feathers could only watch on in horror as the power flickered on and off, before cutting off, only flickering back on as the other three power plants within another city struggled trying to make up for the sudden loss in the power grid.

Hightalon Shimmering Feathers horror slowly turns to anger, than to pure rage as she grabbed a radio that her generals had a connection to. "Attention, we are going to war with the new Crystal Empire, I want the soldiers and troops ready within a week, and I want the power up in the same time!"

Hightalon Shimmering Feathers daughter Czarina Dark Feather just sighed, she had suspected something like this may happen when her mother had invited the ruler of the new Empire that had come from thin air, so she walked off to get those loyal to her, it was time for a change around here, she would no longer allow her mother to be a tyrant, however it would take time, time they might not have anymore.

I grinned watching the lights within most of the Griffon Empire flash on and off before most flickered off, the power plants offline meant that not enough power was being produced to power their electric grid, which until now I had just realized was kinda like power grids you'd see in 1950 or so, from what I saw, either way now was not the time to watch the chaos of what I had done play out, it was about time for the launch of the Crystal Lorenzo, checking the time I saw it was juuuuust about time for my speech before the ship would be launched, so I relayed onto a stage that had been set up in a field, with the Crystal Lorenzo in the background full of crew members. I watched thousands of citizens from around the Empire go quiet as I relayed in, seemingly they had decided to arrive a little to early, like those weirdos on Black Friday.

I stepped up to a microphone with the Empire's flag flowing on either side of me, I also saw that this was being televised, as I had expected, I waited for everything to go completely quiet before I spoke. "Citizens of the Crystal Empire, despite the delays of recent events, today is a day of celebration! The launch of the Crystal Lorenzo marks a new era in the Empire's history! We shall continue to march on no matter what the universe throws at us, and we will do so with a smile as we are battered and bloody, today is a day that marks a new age for the lives of everyone here today, one where we may expand the Empire into the very stars you all look upon at night! Let the Crystal Lorenzo, take its first flight into the vastness of space!" Citizens cheered loudly as the Crystal Lorenzo's engines started up, casting a neon blue glow under and behind the craft as it lifted up, and in an instant shot into the atmosphere at the speed of light, less than a second later it was showing images of space on the screens around the stage I was standing on, and this caused the cheers to grow louder.

I grinned watching as the citizens of the Empire cheered, and the Crystal Lorenzo deployed the satellites that I had produced, they looked like eyebots, but there where a few key differences,they where three times larger than a normal eyebot, the use of anti gravity engines to keep them in one place, a large plasma communication dish on the bottom where a laser would normally go, and two boxes on the side of the satellites, said boxes held four small mini nuke sized nuclear warheads, the missiles themselves where the size of the missiles you could launch from missile launchers, mainly just to protect them if they encounter something that is hostile to them.

This would be interesting, I hopped that Hightalon Shimmering Feathers had learned her lesson, because if not, then I'd be completely willing to full out nuke a city to get the point across, with a full sized quantum infused nuclear missile, one that would turn a city to complete dust, and guess what? I just launched a ship into space that could do just that, with one missile, I really wonder what goes on in the head of someone who thinks they can just try and take my empire over if I die, really now? You'd have to be stupid to think the crystal ponies and other species that live here, would just bow down and beg for mercy if you somehow managed to kill me, and that was if you could even get close to the empire without the automated defenses shooting you into pieces. Tomorrow would be interesting, that much was for sure, I had a weird feeling about something, like I was being watched or somethin, but that would be impossible since an enchantment on my helmet would tell me if someone was spying on me via magic, thanks to my assistant Sunbeam Cuddle, who surprisingly enough knew some advanced magic.
