Chapter One: Just Another Raid.
Deep in space a lone pirate ship disguise as U.T.S. patrol ship and its crew are in warp jump to a colony planet called “Hooveast 7” after the colony and a planet crasher ship went of the radar. Their orders are to investigate, but they were really going there to raid the ship and maybe even the colony. But they wouldn’t even imagine what they will find when they reached their destination.
“Hey Flash.” A voice called out while Flash Sentry, an engineer that was sleeping on the bridge. “Hey Flash!” Flash finally woke up after being shouted at by corporal Octimus.
“Jeez finally, I thought you would never wake up.” Octimus said. “Come on we’re almost there.”
Flash put his helmet on and sat in his designated seat. Then the captain of the ship came, a female Griffin named Gilda.
“Alright everyone we’re here.” Gilda said when the ship exited warp jump to come to a dead planet with meteor debris surrounding the planet.
“So that’s Hooveast 7, I still don’t know why prospectors colonize that Celestria for sake planet.” A blue mare with a white mane said while looking out of the bridge window.
“It’s a gold mine for resources oh ‘Great & Powerful Trixie.” Gilda said.
“Yeah, the captains’ right it holds; Coalium, Stalium, and Hoovinite.” Corporal Sentinel said to the blue mare.
“And that’s why we’re here.” Gilda said.
Then the crew saw the planet crasher ship that they were to investigate/raid.
“Wow that’s the U.T.S. Fillymora!” Octimus shouted. “The biggest planet crasher out there.”
“Wait a minute isn’t Flash’s fillyfriend stationed on the Fillymora.” Sentinel said. “What’s her name, uummm oh Sunset Shimmer right?” Flash nodded.
“Don’t worry Flash we won’t hurt her or anyone except for security.” Trixie said. “Well unless something bad did happened.”
“Oh come on Trixie this is just another raid.” Octimus said. “It’s most likely a malfunctioning in their deep space communication system.”
“Alright corporal, take us in.” Gilda said.
“Roger that captain.” Sentinel said.
There ship maneuvered through the debris without getting hit. The ship was now getting closer to the planet crasher but then suddenly the Fillymora’s rocket defense turrets began shooting at them, the patrol ship took a few hits on the left side.
“What the buck!” Gilda yelled when their ship was taking fire from the Fillymora.
“Engaging maneuvers!” Sentinel said while flying, trying to avoid incoming rockets. “Launching dummy drones!” The patrol ship then launched small dummy drones (the DDs look similar to a grey cross eyed Pegasus we all know) for most of the Fillymora’s turrets to target them instead.
“That got to give us a breather.” Octimus sigh in relief.
“Don’t speak so soon.” Trixie said seeing heat seeking missiles coming right at them.
“Oh shit!” Sentinel cursed seeing the HSMs. “Activating flares.” The patrol ship now shot out flares for the HSMs to follow the flares.
“Dam most of the dummies are destroyed!” Octimus shouted.
“Launching more dummies!” Sentinel said while releasing more DDs.
The same routine lasted for five minutes. And in that time the patrol ship was hit by 8 rockets and 3 missiles.
“Status report corporal!” Gilda shouted at Sentinel.
“The ship has taken 72% of damage, engines 2 and 5 are heavily damage, kinetic shields are at 26%.” Sentinel said. “And we’re running out of defenses.”
Things were looking bad for the crew of the patrol ship and the captain tried to think of options. She only had one option.
“We need to land on Hooveast 7!” Gilda said. After hearing her they all looked at her (besides Sentinel) giving her a look of ‘WHAT’. “I know what you’re thinking but it’s the only option, Corporal.”
“Yes captain.” Sentinel replied.
“When we enter the atmosphere I want you to launch all dummy drones and flares.” Gilda said. “And try to do an emergency landing by the colony’s space elevator.”
“What! Those missiles are still going to target us after the flares dies!” Trixie said in front of Gilda's face.
“Octimus take control of the top rocket turret.” Gilda said. “Shoot down any missiles that are coming at us.”
“Oh yeah!” Octimus shouted then pulled up the targeting camera for the turret.
“Captain!” A crew member spoke in a com from the gravity control systems.
“What is it?” Gilda said.
“It the gravity system, they’re going to overAaahhh-.” The crew man was cut off after being killed by a blast.
“Dammit everyone buckle in!” Gilda yelled while she is buckling her seatbelt including, Flash, Octimus, and Sentinel. Then the gravity systems overloaded causing everyone that weren’t fast enough were now being tossed around the bridge hitting the walls, sealing, and any objects that were in their way.
Then electrical wires came out of the walls swinging everywhere electrocuting any one that got hit. Flash saw one member being electrocuted to death that his eye balls exploded.
“Dammit I can’t control the turret from this panel!” Octimus said. “The only other panel that can control the turret is Sentry’s.”
“Sentry, take control of the turret!” Gilda said. “Octimus give him a quick rundown!” Octimus nodded.
Sentry took control and pulled up the screen seeing scours of missiles heading towards them.
“Alright Flash you just need to aim the turret at the missiles then shoot them by pressing the red triggers.” Octimus said. “It’s like riding a scooter.”
Flash then fired the turret destroying dozens of missiles in just a few seconds. “Ah… not bad for a rookie.” Octimus complimented.
“Status report with those missiles!” Gilda asked.
“Flash is wiping out dozens.” Octimus said. “But there still a buck loads more coming right at us!”
Then a missile hit the only turret the patrol ship had. “There goes our turret.” Trixie said.
“Well at least there’s just one missile left.” Octimus said before it hit the ship.
“Ah buck!” Sentinel cursed. “That ONE missile just hit engine 5!”
“What do you mean?” Gilda said.
“We can’t do an emergency landing captain.” Sentinel said. “We’ll going to crash!”
That’s when the crew saw that their ship is going to hit the space elevator building.
“Put up the bridge shield!” Gilda yelled. Then a metal shield covered the bridge. Before the ship hit the building, Gilda said one last thing.
“HOLD ON!”
Chapter Two: Nice Landing.
The patrol ship crashed into a building near the space elevator and now the surviving crew was now stranded on Hoofveast 7.
“Ah, nice landing Sentinel!” Octimus said sarcastically.
“Well thank you Octimus for me saving all of our flanks!” Sentinel said. Octimus just stared at him.
Everything was quiet before Gilda spoke up.
“Trixie, status report.”
“Most of the ship is a wreck, and half of the crew is dead.” Trixie said. “Guess you didn’t save all of our flanks corporal.”
Gilda went to the ships com system and said. “Alright every surviving crew pack up and get a weapon.” Then she looked at Flash getting up. “That’s means you to Sentry.”
“Wait he’s just an engineer captain.” Sentinel argues with the Griffin.
“He also saved us from being blown to bits corporal.” Gilda said then turn her head to Flash. “He’s a fast learner.”
“Alright captain.” Octimus said. “What’s next?”
Gilda thought for a moment before saying. “First we need to get of this ship and head to the space elevator.”
“Why?” Trixie asked with a concerned face.
“Because it’s connects to the Fillymora.” Gilda said.
“Ah, no offence captain, but YOU do realize that they tried to kill us!” Octimus said. “And why would we want to go aboard.”
“Because the Fillymora must have a ship we can steal and we’re still here to raid them remember.” Gilda said.
“But wouldn’t they just fire at us again?” Sentinel questioned.
“Those turrets were designed to shoot ships not elevators.” Gilda answered.
After that the pirate crew left their wreck patrol ship to head towards the space elevator. It was quiet till Sentinel spoke.
“Hey do you think it’s weird that security hasn’t come yet?”
“Nope.” Gilda not looking at Sentinel. “I think it’s weird that we haven’t encountered any one, not even a single mouse.”
As the crew was walking down the hall Flash saw something off of the corner of his eye. He thought he saw Sunset Shimmer, so he went into another hall way to check, nothing was there. When he was going to regroup, the door behind him shut tight and wouldn’t open, the crew noticed when they heard the door shut and Flash banging on it.
“Flash!” Gilda said. “You alright?”
“Vitals saying that he’s okay.” Trixie said.
“Dam I can’t get the door open.” Sentinel said whiling trying to open the door. “Aahh it’s no use, it’s in lockdown.”
“Flash, it looks like you need to go another way to the space elevator.” Gilda said be hide the door and then said.
“You can find your way by pressing the blue button on your wrist, it will show a light arrow for you can follow it.” Gilda said before leaving with the rest of the crew.
Flash got going to the direction the light arrow was going.
Flash followed the arrow to a shower room where he saw some of the colonist, at least not in one piece. There was blood all over the room with body pieces scattered all over.
“Oh shit.” Octimus said into his com looking at another brutal carnage with the crew. “Cap are seeing this.”
“It looks like a wild animal did this.” Gilda said looking at the room they were in. “Keep your guard crew!” Gilda yelled to the crew. “I got a bad feeling about this.”
Flash kept walking till he saw an open locker in the shower room and walked to it. He looked into the locker and saw a holo recorder in it.
“Hey Flash my sensors indicate that you pick up a holo.” Gilda said through his com. “Try to find more and listen to them. They might give us some clues of what the buck happened here.”
Flash then activated the holo and listen to it.
“Hey mom, it’s me Flim!” Flim said into the recorder. “You won’t believe what we found her on Hooveast 7.” Flim said. “I can’t tell details because they might fire me if I do but a will tell you that this will be the biggest find since the discovery of the first Marker that landed on Trinity.” Flim said. “So that’s about it, oh and tells Flam that I said hi.” The message stopped.
Flash then walk on trying to figure out what Flim meant by ‘Biggest find since the discovery of the first Marker’. Then he stop realizing what he said ‘The first Marker’ there has only been one unless.
This raid just got a lot more complicated.
