Division 48

Division 48 – The awakening, part 7

When the skies turn red
The wings of Death are spread
Blood will be spilled, pain will be known
To those innocents own
For Death takes a deadlier shape
And there’s no way to escape
“Human” has Death been named
And “Vendetta” has the Human tamed
The Final Prophecy by Dragon Lord Xer’ariv, Equestria, 92 years before Celestia and Luna Reign

UEFF Vendetta is a true diamond amongst all starships ever produced by humankind. It possesses the newest and deadliest technology known to humanity. Capable of annihilating a whole World, Vendetta is not a ship anyone wants to make enemy of. Possessing over 140 different ways to make someone’s day go from bad to worse, Vendetta has a very important role amongst the Flotilla. The ship is the only one possessing the proper demise receiver and is the only one capable of establishing and holding an anomaly gate connection, allowing other ships to pass through. Build precisely for Earth’s retrieval, the Dreadnought is ready to take on anything the changed Earth has to offer and wipe it off the planets face. Similar in shape to a shark, with two recently developed Singularity Engines the Vendetta is black with all the angles and sharp ends colored in dark green. Ships face is similar to a shark’s snout and additionally it even possesses a dorsal fin starting from the ship’s bow, elongated through the whole ship and ending sharply at the engines exhaust. Whatever or Whoever the enemy will be, Vendetta will make sure that last thing he sees is a blast of energy from her ERECs.

Location: Milky Way, Hades Gamma Cluster, Deep Space, Sector V-106, War Dreadnaught “UEFF Vendetta”, Deck 17 - Corridors

Commander Jackson was a tall, muscular man. Some said he would be a good model, women compared him to Hercules and other men were very jealous of his posture. His face indeed was almost model perfect, his green eyes seemed to glow brightly showing his high vitality, the wide jaw was composing magnificently with his cheekbones, while his nose was straight and seemed to be shaped by Michael Angelo himself. The only thing spoiling the effect was a hideous scar running down from his left cheekbone, through his lips and ending on the right side of the jaw. What the Commander had in appearance, he lacked in emotion. This man was practically devoid of it or at least he never showed it on the outside. Always official, always calm and calculating, those are the words describing Commander Christopher Jackson very nicely. Currently he was very much agitated (inside), as not only the Earth Recovery time was coming closer with each day, but also Vendetta received a Dismay Signal. One of the Achilles Defense Network Satellites has been activated not long ago, the signal however appeared to be dulled and the data stamp of the satellite showed it was about 2000 years old. The only reasonable explanation to the phenomenon would be a temporal displacement caused by the time shift during the Collapse. Christopher however didn’t know that for sure, it was only his speculation, as currently he was walking through the corridors of the Dreadnought, towards the Analysis Laboratory. The corridors were obsidian black with some dark green markings indicating the pathways for different points in the ship. Because of its size, Vendetta was not a ship anyone would simply walk through, it would take too much time and effort and so in different strategic points of the ship Anomaly Jumpers were introduced. Similar to the Gate the Jumpers act as short-distance transit method through the ship. They look like black round pads in the floor and are activated through voice-command. Commander Jackson quickly made his way through the corridors, passing different crew members, who at some points were saluting. He finally arrived at the Jumper and quickly positioned himself in the middle of it.

“Analysis Laboratory!”

The pad reacted immediately and Christopher was enveloped in black light that erupted from the base of the pad towards a similar pad in the ceiling.

Location: Milky Way, Hades Gamma Cluster, Deep Space, Sector V-106, War Dreadnaught “UEFF Vendetta”, Deck 29 – Communications Center, Analysis Laboratory, Section A-8

Professor Hannah Orlov a 38 years old blonde woman with perfectly shaped body was already waiting for the Captain in front of the Jumper. Her long unkempt hair was loosely covering her shoulders. Her green, small glasses were reflecting the light coming down from the reflectors spread through the whole deck. She was wearing a white lab-coat, that wasn’t really necessary in Communications Center, but she insisted that it helped her keep her style. Orlov was a top-researcher and officially the head of Deck 29. She made things run smooth, helped developing the Vendetta itself and also she was the second Condition 9 specialist the ship had. Currently she was annoyed as Commander Jackson was taking his sweet time arriving at the Center. Curiously enough, the Center looked itself like a huge hangar with different work stations pressed to the walls, as if to make room for something gigantic in the middle. In fact there was something humongous in the middle of the Center. It was a neuro-computer shaped like a cube with different displays attached to it. About 50 people were working through the displays, imputing different data and searching the void for any activity. The neuro-computer was necessary for the complexity connected with void data was too big for any standard computer. It had different pathways embed into it that were emitting a calm green glow. It was not a central AI core of the ship, it was a standalone unit, which purpose was only research. Hannah however was not much interested in the whole “humanities achievement” thing, as she was impatiently staring at the jumper pad, which finally activated with an unpleasant wheeze. A pillar of black light shot from the base of the pad towards the ceiling of the Center. It disappeared as quickly as it has appeared, leaving a deep in thought Captain, standing idly.

“Took you long enough Chris”

Said Hannah evidently angry with the Commander.

The commander suddenly raised his head, as if getting rid of his thoughts and answered as emotionlessly as usual.

“What’s the situation Professor?”

Hannah was used to his official tone and way of speech by now, he however never required to be called Commander or anything like that by her and to be honest she was pretty good with that.

“Well, let’s walk, shall we? I’ll enlighten you on the way.”

She said, all traces of her anger gone. Her voice was very warm and somehow even sweet. This woman was probably able to manipulate the opposite gender with ease, if she ever wanted to. The Commander nodded slowly and they both proceeded to walk towards the glowing cube in the distance.

“First off, we received an activation signal from Achilles Defense Network, meaning that Condition 9 was successfully initiated. There also seems to be a temporal anomaly, which caused Earth to jump 2000 years in the future and somehow still remain outside of void, reachable from space. Fortunately Etherium is quite resistant to different anomalies and other freaky stuff, preserving almost the whole network untouched. This is first good news I have…”

Said Hannah on one breath. She then raised her finger up, while looking directly at Jackson.

“Second good news, the Network is responding and is very much operational, with all the boom and bang and kablamo…”

Chris stared the woman down

“Ekhem, with all the scary weapons accessible remotely. Third good news is, some supply bases survived the reality shifts. Even though all were made of Etherium, with such violent rips in reality I’m not surprised much gave up and collapsed. Fourth good news, and this one is reeeally good…”

She smiled wickedly

“The Battle Platform has activated and is en route to the ruins of Volgograd, for reasons we all know and wait for.”

The Commander smiled slightly, so that another person wouldn’t be able to tell he did.

“Aand here come the bad news…”

The Commander tensed visibly

“We received scans of environment, satellite photos, video and many more data from both the Network and Colossus…”

They both stopped in front of the Cube, two scientists inputting some data into green holographic consoles on both their sides, not even taking a look at the guests.

“Holographic Visualization, Condition 9, Frame 20 to 100 000”

Said Hannah, louder than usual.

In front of them a Holographic Earth appeared.

“This is Earth prior Collapse. Frame 20 – 2000”

The holographic Earth suddenly started to change with the Hologram’s time flow increased. The continents moved differently, smashing each other, changing and forming new masses.

“My god…”

Said Chris flabbergasted

“I know, but the changes from Collapse quickly faded away. Frame 2000 – 50 000”

The Hologram started to change again, but this time the Continents were moving ever so slightly, what’s more important, specks and dots of light started to appear all over the new continents.

“This is… Civilization?”

Asked Commander still dumbstruck

“Indeed it is. But that’s not even half of it… Frame 50 000 – 100 000”

Now the small dots were coming closer to each other, or new were appearing in groups, making clusters. Then they appeared in lines as if marking roads…

“Cities… Cities, roads and electricity…”

Commander shook his head with disbelief

“Exactly, BUT! This is only the view of whole Earth… Watch this! Frame 100 000, Sector 113 203 197, Magnify and Enhance 100%”

Suddenly a square appeared over one cluster of lights, and then the hologram flickered zooming on it. They saw buildings, some of skyscraper height, roads, and they saw thousands upon thousands of colorful dots flowing through the city.

“…Aliens?”

Asked the Commander slowly

“Well technically no, because they were born on Earth, but to us… Yeach… Damn aliens… However this is still not all! Mark Organics, enhance and analyze!”

She shouted almost passionately. The hologram flickered again, than all the colorful dots became marked by blue squares. One square flickered and the whole hologram changed perspective to first person, zooming on the marked organic. They saw… A grey, winged pony with straight blonde mane and tail in the same color, that was rotating slowly as a hologram in front of them. Its big golden eyes somehow… wrong… As if squinted… Then the computer began the analysis, cutting the pony in half, showing it in cross-section. All its organs, bones and muscles were now visible, including the nerve pathways. The computer pinpointed different sections of the pony’s body showing black descriptions next to them. Then it pinpointed one organ in the Pony and marked it red.

“Is that a fucking horse?!”

This time his emotions visible, the Commander could no longer contain his bewilderment.

“I’m afraid so…”

Answered Hannah

“You’re meaning to tell me that a bunch of intelligent colorful horses took over Earth?”

He calmed down, asking patiently.

“Well… That’s exactly what I’m saying…”

The Commander whistled

“That is… Disturbing…”

He said unsure

“My thoughts exactly”

Approved Hannah smirking a little bit.

“But that’s not the end of the surprises; you see that organ shaped like a ball? Next to the pancreas… It’s marked red by the computer”

Jackson nodded slowly

“Well it seems to be something of unknown purpose, but the computer marked it as, and get this, Void Sensitive!!”

She said excited

“What the hell? Those horses can like what… Shape reality around them?”

He asked dumbstruck again

“Oh you better believe it!”

Commander might not look like a smart type, but in fact he is quite intelligent and has a pretty good knowledge about singularities.

“Hmm… This might be… troublesome, but knowing that I think I can already tell what actions will the President take”

Said Chris, putting a hand on his chin.

“Right, basically there are 3 words that I can come up with, describing what will happen… “

Said Hannah, getting suddenly serious, a grim expression on her face.

“And those are…?”

Asked Jackson calmly

“Capture… Dissect… Exterminate…”

Location: Equestria, previously known as Earth, Canterlot, Canterlot Castle, Royal Chambers

Luna was still embracing her sobbing sister in a warm hug.

“There, there… Everything will be well”

Maybe the pony died of natural causes? Luna was however somehow skeptical… She felt that something cold and soulless was behind this; she wasn’t sure where did that feeling come from though. Suddenly she felt Celestia stiffen, as her sister stopped sobbing. Luna released her and took a good look at her. Expression of utter terror was visible on the Sun Goddess’s face. Celestia started to shake and brought up her hoof towards the back of her head and then slowly back in front of her eyes. Her hoof was covered in something red… It was blood… Luna’s eyes widened in realization and horror, as blood started to slowly drip from Celestia’s right eye. Everything went blurry for the Sun Goddess, as she started to sway. Then all went black as she lost consciousness feeling intense pain in her head, so intense that she wasn’t even able to scream, her brain simply shut her down to save her mind.

“Sister!”

Screamed Luna, terrified. She caught her sister, before the latter fell to the ground.

“HEEELP!”

Luna screamed again, her voice echoing through the whole castle. The response was immediate, two royal guards stormed into the chamber. Luna was crying by now, holding her limp sister in her hoofs, unable to think coherently. The guards however reacted quickly upon seeing the drops of blood hitting the floor.

“Call a healer! NOW! The princess is badly hurt!”

Shouted one of the guards at the other, with the latter quickly storming out of the Royal Chambers, straight for the healer.

“Sister! Celestia! WAKE UP! Please…”

Luna shook the Goddess of Sun slightly and pleaded desperately, her eyes wet from the tears and her hooves red from the blood. Her voice broke down as the Night Goddess started to cry, hugging the limp frame of her sister. The healer arrived soon after that, with the other guard by his side. His coat was white, just like his unkempt mane and tail. His black glasses looked elegantly. He was dressed in white doctor’s coat and his cutie mark was that of a doctor’s bag. He was an unicorn with a very sharply ended horn.

“Guards, please take Princess Luna away from the patient”

Said the Medical Pony nonchalantly. The guards looked at each other, seemingly unsure what to do. They however quickly came to compromise and nodded at each other, closing in on Luna. The Goddess of Night raised her head, still crying she looked at the closing-in guards, shock written all over her face.

“Wait… What are you doing?!”

Shouted Luna full of sorrow. The guards however stopped in front of her and quickly as lightning grabbed her under the forelegs violently, pulling her away from her beloved sister.

“Noo! Leave me alone! NO! CELESTIA!”

Luna tried to squirm away, thrashing, but the guards were too strong. They quickly dragged her out of the chamber, while 2 more medical ponies arrived. The last thing Luna saw were closing door of the Royal Chambers and her sister being carefully placed upon a stretcher by the two other medical ponies.

“CELESTIA!!!”

Screamed Luna loudly, wailing and crying so that the whole castle could hear… And the castle heard, everypony froze when the wail of sorrow echoed through it…

Location: Equestria, previously known as Earth, Canterlot, Canterlot Castle, Medical Wing, Royal medical room.

“Princess Luna… I’m not sure how to tell you this… But... Princess Celestia suffered a violent cerebral hemorrhage… She’s currently in a state of a deep coma and we can’t be sure if she will ever wake up.”

Said the Healer with a Doctor’s Bag as a Cutie Mark, the difference was, that he wore a surgical mask now. He and Luna were both in a very large room with a wide and comfortable bed in the middle of it. There laid Celestia, covered with a white blanket, her eyes closed, bandages around her head, covering her ears and some breathing mask attached to her mouth, with a long transparent tube connected to a golden wheezing machine. Luna knew what it was, a new invention called a Respirator. Created for patients unable to breath for themselves, this could only mean Celestia was in a grave condition. The doctor looked sadly at Celestia

“We removed the excess of blood from her brain, but the damage was unavoidable. I’m afraid she lost her sight.”

Luna’s eyes went wet again, she lowered her head in sadness.

“I understand… Is there nothing we can do now?”

Asked Luna, almost whispering

The doctor looked at her again

“As you know princess, alicorns are very resistant to magic, both harmful and helpful. If it was a normal pony, my staff would cast a few spells and call it a day, but in this case…”

The doctor sighed

“We can do nothing more, than wait…”

Luna sobbed and came closer to the bed

“Sis… I hope you can hear me… Fight, fight and wake up, so you can give the World your love again… I love you sister… so please! Wake up!”

Luna cried as she lowered her head and kissed her Sisters forehead. She then raised her head and prepared to leave, many duties awaiting her as of now, Luna had to do what Celestia has done during Nightmare Moon period, she will have to raise both the Moon and the Sun. But then she heard a weak whisper coming from the bed

“Luna…”

Luna turned around to see her sister’s half closed glassed over eyes, looking at hear. She quickly came to her side

“Celestia!”

She shouted happily, a weak ray of hope appearing in her heart. The medical pony was immediately at Celestia’s side.

“357…”

Celestia said weakly. Luna placed her hoof on her sister’s heart, feeling the weak heartbeat…

“357 died… Sunset Village… Something…”

She coughed and wheezed.

“Something evil… Stalliongrad… Stop it…”

Luna felt the heartbeat slowing and her eyes widened in terror

“I love you Luna…”

Fortunately the heartbeat didn’t stop. Celestia’s eyes closed as she fell into her coma state again.

“It was a miracle she even awakened… But that’s good, our princess has very good chance of coming out from this!”

The medical pony said slightly more cheerfully. Luna’s expression of terror on the other hand changed into pure anger. She turned around and walked out quickly from the medical wing, leaving the Medical Pony a little surprised. She walked up to the nearest guard Pony who quickly bowed before her.

“Fetch me Shining Armor and General Dead Eye… NOW! I’ll be waiting in my chambers!”

Her eyes were burning with anger and pure hatred. Whatever killed 357 ponies, was also responsible for what happened to Celestia and it WILL PAY!

“Yes, your highness”

The guard quickly turned around and ran to do what he was told. Luna teleported into her chambers and she didn’t even wait a minute, when in a flash of light Shining Armor has appeared and next to him a violet pony with an eye patch on his right eye. The second pony was General Dead Eye, one of very few battle-experienced badasses in the Equestrian Army. He was dressed in full plate armor, colored black and had two blades pinned on the opposite sides of his belt. The two swords were scimitars made of very rare diamond-strong silver. Dead Eye never really had much respect for authority and everypony knew that. He was however a very good strategist and blades-master. That’s why Luna was not much surprised that he just nodded at her without any fancy greetings. Shining Armor on the other hand made full-blown bow.

“How can we be of service your Majesty?”

Asked Shining Armor

“There are a few things I want you to do and fast! As you know Celestia was severely injured by… something… It is however connected with the death of entire Sunset Village, near the icy wasteland border.”

Luna said with authority

“What?!”

Said Shining Armor, dread written all over his face. Dead Eye simply shrugged.

“What monster could have done that?”

He asked shaking his head.

“What monster, indeed. We know that it is powerful and so we will react accordingly. Dead Eye, mobilize the good part of the military and also I’m giving you unlimited funds to hire a bunch of battle-ridden, angry and strong mercenaries. It can be even Diamond Dogs, for what I care. I just want military strength!”

Said Luna firmly.

“Yes ma’am.”

Answered Dead Eye, a smile on his face

“Princess, isn’t our army enough to deal with such threat?”

Luna smirked and let out a giggle

“Are you kidding Captain? Because of my sister’s love, army of this country is made of wimpy, weak cowards. I won’t send anypony to be simply massacred on the battlefield.”

Said Luna dryly

“Oh…”

Answered Shining Armor, visibly taking the slight insult very seriously. Dead Eye let out a laugh on the other hand.

“You’re right ma’am, so, so right…”

He said wiping a tear from his good eye. She simply stared the General down, the latter however unaffected in the slightest.

“Continuing, I plan to release Discord with your help Shining Armor, making him our ally…”

Now both Dead Eye and Shining Armor’s jaws dropped to the floor.

“Don’t worry, I have a method for him, he is necessary to release… It…”

She stated calmly

“Lady… You’re bonkers! You can’t just… just release another monster and then another one, hoping it will do any good!”

Dead Eye said nervously.

“It is NOT your duty General, to lecture ME! You will worry only about fulfilling your duties, because if you fail me your punishment will be most severe!”

Luna’s eyes turned into slits the moment she said that. Those were not the eyes of the princess, those were the eyes of Nightmare Moon. Her tone became deep and full of spite, Both Dead Eye and Shining Armor felt small all of a sudden, a sting of dread in their hearts. When they didn’t respond Luna’s eyes changed back, her voice still full of spite, but this time much less threatening.

“Dismissed…”

She ordered

“Yes, your Majesty!”

Both ponies said with Dead Eye formal all of a sudden.

“When everything’s ready, we’re marching to Stalliongrad.”

Luna stated, with both Dead Eye and Shining Armor nodding in approval. Equestria was mobilizing with Princess Luna as the sole Ruler, filled with the need of revenge and hatred only Nightmare Moon could possibly have. The question still stood however if her determination will suffice.

Location: War Dreadnaught “UEFF Vendetta”, Deck 1, The Bridge

The Bridge was a large area arranged in a circle with a comfortable Captain’s Chair in the middle of the room on a high pedestal. Around the chair there were about 20 different holographic interfaces with men and women controlling various aspects of the ship through them. There was a dim green light illuminating the whole bridge, giving it an eerie atmosphere. In front of the Captain’s Chair, there was a panoramic, holographic display, showing various information and the outside of the ship, as a window would. Currently however the whole space of the screen was occupied by an old man. He was bald, various wrinkles covering his face. His brown eye however showed vigor and determination a lot could feel envious about. The other eye didn’t show anything as it was a mechanical, red eye. This man was cyber-enhanced.
“By the right given to me by humanity, United Earth Federation government hereby declares a full authorization for genocide by any means necessary, including weapons of mass destruction to reclaim Earth. What’s more, you have been chosen as the High Executioner, Commander. You may proceed as you wish with the full support of the Federation”
He stated firmly.

“Understood, sir.”

Answered Commander Jackson, the hologram changed to show Hannah, smoking a cigarette.

“I see we have a go.”

She said

“Is the Ragnarök Satellite operational?”

Asked Jackson instead, his tone indifferent, Hannah nodded slowly to that. Jackson took a deep breath.

“May God forgive us for what we’re about to do… Mrs Yuko, please connect us with Achilles and show me the combat map.”

He said, his tone sadder than usual

“Yes, Commander”

Yuko entered a few commands through her interface and with that a map of Earth was displayed in front of Jackson.

“Connection established, Commander.”

Jackson nodded

Location: Equestria, previously known as Earth, 1885 km above the ground, Achilles Defense Network, The Ragnarök Satellite.

The Ragnarök Satellite was enormous and shaped into a form of a ball, with a thin barrel sticking out from its base. The length of the barrel was very big, making the whole thing look a little ridiculous. Additionally the ball had 8 thermal panels to generate electricity when the construction lied dormant. The ball was black in shape, one red light flickering in the middle of it. Suddenly the light turned green, shining constantly. The machine was activated, ready to cause mayhem where it was pointed to.

Green strokes and discharges of energy went through the whole Satellite. If anyone could hear in space, he or she would probably hear an irritating whistling sound, the weapon was making. From the end of the barrel a blinding red light appeared, a mass of energy growing in size rapidly. The whistling would become unbearable now.

An explosion of red energy and power enlightened Equestria . The sky turned red as blood from the amount of light generated, creating a hard to miss effect. Various ponies stopped in their tracks, gazing in the sky with amazement and fear. Luna trotted to the balcony of her chambers, looking at the sky, deeply disturbed. Then her eyes widened as she remembered where the red sky was mentioned

“When the skies turn red, The wings of Death are spread… But… No! It’s an old prophecy, it can’t be true! This is impossible!”

Suddenly the clouds were dispersed in one point, far away from Canterlot, as if making room for something bigger to pass. A horrible whistle echoed through Equestria as an enormous pillar of deathly red energy came through the hole, disrupting the integrity of the sky further. It was coming down slowly, about to hit the ground soon...

“What on all that’s sacred is this?”

Luna was not sure, but she feared that it will cause destruction. Then she bit her lips thinking deeply… and finally understood. This region… It’s Trottingham!

“NO!”

The pillar hit the ground, causing a massive tremor and explosion of white, blinding light. Luna had to cover her eyes, not to lose sight. Then a mushroom of red energy appeared in the distance getting bigger and higher. Luna was about to say something but then a shockwave came to Canterlot, causing her to be catapulted to the back of her chambers, hitting the wall with her head and losing consciousness in the process.

Location: UEFF “Vendetta”, Deck 1, The Bridge

“Strike successful, Commander. Ragnarok reports 988 thousand dead, the shockwave making further damage…”

A tall black woman sitting in the front of the Commander said. Jackson nodded to that

“Good, now that we introduced ourselves, we can come back to our home. Begin preparations for Anomaly Jump. The Colossus should open the gate in approximately 24 hours.”

Jackson said, yet again indifferent.

“Yes sir!”

The woman responded.

Equestria was hit hard that day, with massive damage and unknown to ponies radiation that covered the ground … Thing is… It wasn’t even the beginning…

A/N: I know that draining blood from the head of a patient, is not how you treat someone with cerebral hemorrhage, but ponies are just starting with more advanced medicine, so that's their method for now :P
