This is E.N your Equestrian News.

Good Evening Equestria I’m Ease Drop and here with my Co-host Midnight.

Our top story this evening is about the ESS Kindness.

The Kindness was on a daily patrol around the human planet we all know as Earth. Tragedy happened during this patrol. It is believed the crew had lost all electrical systems to Kindness and had to brace for impact on the planet’s surface. Since the impact, the fleet has been trying to establish radio contact.

We tried to get an interview with Admiral Shockwave on the situation. He in turn had nothing to comment. More details on Kindness will sometime be later today

Our next biggest story is about the young Princess Celestia. Ever since the destruction of the human planet the young Princess had vowed to help the humans. Princess Celestia is heading out into the stars in exactly four days and soon to arrive at the fleet. If any of you haven’t seen the young Princess, now would be the time at the Canterlot Spaceport.

Midnight what do you think about all of this?

Well Drop, I think our beloved Princess Luna was right about all the hoof bombs. We should have continued to drop hoof bombs until every human was dust. They didn’t deserve this second chance in my opinion. I have nothing against the young Princess believe me but I think it’s just a lost cause. Our stallions and mares have been there for… almost three years now?

Actually it will be three years tomorrow Midnight.

Right, so as I was saying we should just end it all. Nothing can be done for these humans as we should already know. They continue to resist help and resist everything our fleet has tried for them. It’s time to go back to the basics. Exterminate what remains of the humans.

We’ll be right back after these messages.

Equestrian Star Ship Kindness. York always loved to play with his Equestrian Star Ship Kindness, it was his most favorite toy.

He loved the color yellow and pink stripes that wrapped around the hull. He enjoyed the sound effects that it made such as the engine, missile shots, and phazers going off. The hanger bay could be opened with a single finger. The hanger didn’t hold anything but York tended to hide a cookie or two when his mom wasn’t looking.

York was playing in the yard, having his ESS Kindness come in for an aerial assault. He imagined Round flat circle like spaceships closing in on his location. York made a siren noise having the Kindness go to red alert. The Kindness quickly dodged an incoming missile with the help of York’s Left hand. Next the Kindness made a wicked 180 targeting one of the enemy craft.

“Fire!” York shouted and then made explosive sounds proving the enemy craft had been hit.

At the same time the other enemy craft to his right fired a missile and the Kindness had no time to dodge. The Kindness took a direct hit at deck two. Many crew members lost their lives and York had to think of something fast. He knew it was a risky tactic. He needed to take the enemy head on with everything his little toy ship has got.

York could feel it now. Adrenaline flowed through his body as he felt a ping of victory at hand. The Kindness would not be defeated so easily. Now was the time to strike, now was the time to- “York sweetie, it’s time almost time for dinner.” York’s imagination stopped. He was back in a yard and turned to see his mom in the distance.

What York loved more than his toy, was his Mom. His Mom was always the kindest pony around the base. York knows his Mom would always be there for him. If York had a bad dream, his Mom would comfort him. If York got into trouble, his mom would stand up for him. If York got caught stealing a cookie… well his mom would take the cookie jar away but would never yell back at him.

“Mommy!” York ran up to his mom and gave her a big hug. York snuggled deep in her white furry coat.

“How was your day today?”

“Fun!”

York felt a soft kiss on his forehead. “That’s good to hear sweetie. I’ll give you a lift.”

York felt himself being picked up by his mom and placed directly on her back. He always loved this. York loved riding on his mom’s back; it made him feel tall and powerful.

He remembered the first time mom took him flying. He loved flying with his mom, but his mom never liked it alot. Says it was dangerous for a child his age.

York couldn’t help but ask “Mom can we please fly home today?”

“York, our home is right in front of us.” His mom said in reply.

York couldn’t help it. He loved to fly even if it was only for a second. “Pretty please?”

“…How about tomorrow when I take you back to the yard, how does that sound?”

“YAY! Thank you thank you thank you.” York hugged his mom’s neck. Score one for York on getting a small flight back to the yard.

Before York’s mom could reach the door to the house it was opened on the opposite end by another. A red stallion with an orange mane and crimson eyes was showing a happy smile. York knew who this was. This was Torch. Mom had him come over every now and again. York didn’t like Torch. Torch was mean to York but not when mom was around.

“Snowflake, everything go alright when getting York?” Asked Torch.

“Yes everything was fine, and thank you for getting the door.” Said York’s mom when entering.

“It was my pleasure. So what will we be having for dinner? The mess hall was giving out daisy sandwiches again.”

“York, would you be a dear and put away your toy while Mommy gets dinner ready?”

York nodded and slide off his moms back. He ran to his tiny room which contains a bed and a little chest filled with toys he can enjoy. York made a final descent with his toy Kindness. It docked carefully on his bed with blue cloud pictured sheets.

York double checked his toy before running out of his room and towards the kitchen.

After dinner York went back into his room playing around with his Equestrian Star Ship Kindness. He had some pony figurines he took out from his chest pretending they were boarding the ship and preparing for a battle they wouldn’t forget.

Mom had to go out and do an errand so Torch was babysitting York. York never liked it when Torch babysat him. Torch would always do something mean to York when Mom wasn’t around. The only place York felt safe was his room, Torch had never bothered York there.

York put the figurines away believing they were all in the ship. The Kindness was now taking off. It was finally time for battle. The Kindness upped its speed preparing to go to hyperdrive. It was only a matter of time.

The Kindness was faster than anything now. No one could see it in space. No one would be able to detect it. Destination was reached and the hyperdrive disengaged. It was time to have this battle commence.

The battle was cut short when the door to York’s room swung open. York expected it was his mom telling him it was time for bed. But it wasn’t. It was Torch!?

“So York how’s your little game going?” York noticed a wicked grin on Torch’s face.

“…Fun…” York was all confused. Torch has never done this before, come barging into his room.

Torch gave a laugh walking further into York’s room. “I’m sure it is for you but… can I see your ship for a minute?” Torch was showing an open hoof.

York clenched his toy tightly and shook his head. He didn’t want Torch touching anything of his. He wanted Torch out.

“Oh just give me it human!” Torch yelled attempting to yank it out of York’s arms.

York felt his favorite toy slipping away from his grasp. He was trying so hard to hang on and to not let go but Torch was too much to handle. York was no match for the adult Pegasus.

York went face first into the hard wooden floor. He lost the struggle against Torch his favorite toy was now in the hands (or hooves) of the Pegasus.

“I must say, Snowflake did a fine job getting this sent all the way from Equestria to your pathetic planet. It surprised me how it got delivered here, since most ponies are scared of your kind.” Torch said as he admired York’s favorite toy.

“GIVE IT BACK!” York was pushing up against Torch reaching out with his arms to try and snatch it back. Torch lifted the toy high up with his right foreleg. Torch was laughing at how ridiculous this was. How York was actually fighting back.

“Oh… you want it back, well why didn’t you say so.” Torch said in a very sarcastic way. “But first say you’re stupid.”

York was desperate to do anything to get his toy back. So he replied back in a demanding shout “I’M STUPID!!! NOW GIVE IT BACK!!!”

“Nope, say you’re worthless”

York didn’t understand most of these big words but he replied “I’M WORTHLESS… GIVE IT BACK!” York jumped but was still out of reach, he was starting to get misty eyed.

“Sure, catch human!” Torch threw the toy right at the floor. York was unprepared for this and watched as his ship go straight towards the floor.

It made an unsettling noise as it smashed head on into the wood. The toy was a plastic material made especially by unicorns. No screws or batteries were required. The bow smashed open and pieces of the plastic scattered about.

York was in full shock. He thought this wasn’t happening. This was all a dream he thought. Until he picked it up and tears welled up in his eyes. He just couldn’t believe. It actually happened.

“You’re going to cry now? Aww so sad… that’s what happens here human.” Torch made a grin.

York didn’t know what to feel. He felt empty for a brief moment just seeing his most treasured toy broken. Then something came up his throat, he didn’t have time to stop. “WAIT TILL MOMMY GETS HOME! YOU’RE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!” York shouted. He never felt so much anger in all his life.

Torch grabbed York by the collar of his shirt. York tried to break away but Torch made sure York wasn’t going anywhere. “You listen to me you little brat!” York was forced to stare right back at Torch. York could have sworn he saw flames in Torch’s eyes. “I’m not in trouble and you want to know why? Because I’m older that’s why. It’s your fault! It’s always your fault! Your so called mother would believe me more than you!”

“YOU’RE… IN TROUBLE!” Torch shook York around as York was now in full burst of tears.

“No, you’re the one in trouble you pile of trash. You got that! Your mother won’t believe you and that’s that!” Torch stopped shaking York around and put York close to his mouth for a whisper. “And if you do tell my Snowflake that I did do this… I’ll kill you.”

Torch let go of York and York collapsed on the floor still crying.

“Oh and bedtime, stupid!” Torch said before slamming the door shut.

York sobbed on the floor curling up in a ball and holding his now broken toy close to his chest.
