Battleship Equestrea CH 1 (Complete)

The sun showed brightly as the American task force steamed through the sea. It had been 3 days since the flash of light engulfed the 3 super battleships and the super carrier. The battleships, Emperor, President, and Princess, were all Emperor Class super battleships at more than 2500 feet long. Each ship had 4 turrets that each held 4 30 inch canons. The super carrier, Enterprise Omega, was almost 2300 feet long with 3 hangers that held an assortment of Hell Cats, Dive Bombers, and torpedo plains at almost 400 plains in all. Each ship had an assortment of 8 Cursers and destroyers to escort them from faster ships and more planes. The fleet was built in top secret facilities off the cost of Honolulu.

The commander of the massive fleet was Admiral James Jonson. He was looking out over the bow of the flag ship Emperor when he got a report from the radio room. "Distress signal, ships name is Sea Peach and is 20 miles off out port bow. From what we herd, they were being attacked by a small amount of air craft and believe there will be more."

"Are they still on the line?" James asked.

"Yes sir".

"Keep them there, I want to talk with them myself." he replied. The communications were all static before. The fact that they got someone surprised him.

Down in the radio room, the Admiral walked to the radio, saluting to the men after they saluted to him.

"This is Admiral James Jonson. State your current state Sea Peach." he said through the radio.

"Don’t think I have herd of you admiral, but if you can help then please do. We are an unarmed ship transporting civilians from islands and have been attacked once with a larger wave on its way." the voice replied.

“Give us your location and we will send assistance." he asked.

................................................................................................................................................

"Is that the Sea Peach?" one crew man asked.

The ship in front of them had 3 long and lone standing smoke stacks, each releasing a large amount of smoke. The ship had 2 masts and 3 cargo cranes on the bow and stern. There was little to nothing on the decks making it confirmed that they were most likely unarmed.

"Sea Peach this is the Emperor task force here, we have spotted you and are closing in."

"You shore? I don’t see you" they replied.

"Look to your port stern."

"Still nothing."

"Captain, are you using any binoculars?"

"No sir."

"Then that’s why."

As the ship came closer, they received a radio call from the Sea Peach.

"Now I see you. The giant gray ship. Shall I send a messenger for details?"

"Not shore how you can do that with no air craft or boats but you can try."

Moments later, the lookout called down into the wheel house, "sir, we have an unidentified aircraft coming from the Sea Peach."

"Anyone see then launch an air craft?" James asked.

"No sir."

"Sir, this aircraft looks way too small to have a man in or on it. Looks like some sort of Pegasus to me."

"That’s Greek mythology son." one of the crew said to him.

"No I think he’s right," James said with his own pair of binoculars. "That thing can’t even be a meter in length and its wing span is almost 1.5 meters. And the wings are flapping."

The crew watched on as the air craft neared. "Ya I can see it now, that ant a mettle body, that’s an animal!"

Not long later, the animal landed on the bow, gawking at the size of the ship and its guns. "I’m going to go down there and take a look." James said. "Anyone wants to escort me then now’s your chance." four other crew men went after him down the steps to the main deck. When they stepped out into the sun light, the wheel house seemed so far away above them. James started to walk down the ship with the 4 men flanking him on both sides. In case something happened, James slid his army knife into his hand where no one could see it and readied his side arm. As they walked up to the forward most turret. The animal looked at them and stood there. It was a light blue with a white striped main and appeared to have a tattoo of wings on its rear-end. When they reached the animal James was the first to speak. "So this is what they send as a messenger... never thought I would see something from Greek mythology."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about," it spoke back, "but pegasi have been around for 1000nds of years."

Now it was there turn to stare at it. "It talks?" one crew member said. "No shit".

The admiral stood there unfazed. "Ok. Might I ask what part of the north pacific we are in?"

"North pacific? You’re in the south sea." it replied.

"South sea... ok then, what’s the country you’re going to lad?"

"Equestria sir."

"Well that’s strange. I have never seen or heard of a country named that." James said.

"What? You must be mistaken, we are one of the largest countries in the world."

"Perhaps we should continue this talk later," James said. "The radio man said something about details?"

"Yes, they wanted to ask what country you are, and if your good with taking down aircraft."

"We are from The United Stated of America and yes we are good on aircraft." James replied.

"Ok that will be all." the Pegasus said before he launched up into the air and raced back to the Sea Peach, which was much closer now.

................................................................................................................................................

The Task force had formed a protective ring with the Sea Peach in the middle, destroyers around them, and the super ships in a square with Emperor in the front, Enterprise Omega at the back. After that there was the cruisers.

Passengers on the Sea Peach had gone up to the deck to see their new escorts. It turned out, to James's surprise, that this world was full of those pegasi as well as unicorns, earth ponies and alicorns, alicorns being the top rulers. James was standing on the stern of his ship looking over his task force as the Peach sent over a passenger who was a commander.

As he watched the pony’s launch a flimsy looking life boat into the water, he took his time to study them. Earth ponies had the most strange, so best avoided a fist fight with them. Unicorns had the ability to use magic, as silly as it sounded, best to use high penetrating canons if things went south. The pegasi, fast and nimble, but also vary delicate. AA guns or Hell Cats can take them down. Then there were the alicorns, ones he truly dreaded. Being able to fly and use this magic, his AA guns and Hell Cats couldn’t stand a chance. And the main 30 inch guns may not be able to train themselves fast enough to get a shot. It would be sheer luck to take them down.

He was still thinking when a deck hand walked up.

"Sir, commander from the Sea Peach has arrived."

"Hm? Oh, yes. Very well. I’ll be on my way." he replied. He turned to glance at the Sea Peach one more time, then he walked back into the ship.

................................................................................................................................................

Commander Steel Gate stood inside the human ship's wheel house, waiting for its captain. He was on the Sea Peach because he had to retreat and had to jump on the civilian ship at the last moment. He had helped defend the ship my breaking the jaw of any griffon that came too close. Now they had this massive ship with 3 others and there escorts protecting them. He was starting to wonder where their captain was when a tall slender human walked in. seeing all the other humans’ suddenly salute to him, he guessed he was the captain.

"Captain James Jonson?" he asked

"Admiral, and yes." he replied

‘He wasn’t only the captain of this ship, but he was the commander of this entire fleet!’ steel gate thought.

"I am Commander Steel Gate." he held out his hoof, having the admiral bend down to shake it.

"I believe that you do not know of our predicament or our war since you never herd of our country."

"That is right" he replied.

"Well, we were at peace with the world when the griffons, riddled from a civil war, attacked one of our bases. Ever since then, we have been struggling to keep them at bay from the main land. So far, we believe there are still 10 more islands till they can reach it. Only problem is that most of our fleet was destroyed in the first attack, making us vulnerable. We have been evacuating the islands for safety’s sake, but yesterday we were attacked by 4 griffins, scouts as we presume. 2 were killed, 1 captured, but the last one got away."

"You have a prisoner? “He asked.

"Yes, but he won’t talk at all, no matter what."

"I think I can change that." he said.

"You can try him but I don’t think he will say a word."

"Watch me." he said.

................................................................................................................................................

James had boarded the pony ship to interrogate there prisoner of war. Launching one of the biplanes and landing next to the Peach in less than a minute. When he arrived to where they tied up the griffon. He was astonished how well they treated him. Gourmet food. Lose ropes, and a chair that looked way to comfy.

"So, you got some sort of an ape to try to make me talk?"

"Your being too nice." he said.

"Well then how do you think we should be?" Steel Gate asked.

"Like this" he said as he put his foot on the back of the chair and pulled the ropes as tight as they could go.

"Hey! Not cool!" the griffon protested.

"Son, I am going to make you regret the day you crawled out of whatever the fuck you were born from." James said. He then kicked in one of the chair legs making the griffon screech in shock. The ponies stared on as he did his work.

"I'll ask you, right now, who you were scouting for?" James asked politely.

"Like I’ll tell an ape like yo-" but the griffon was unable to finish as another leg was kicked in, making the chair fall over.

"Pick him up" James ordered the 2 men who came with him. They did as they were said and held the griffon in place.

"You’re not going to get anything out of me like that." the griffon mocked. "Your supposed to make me willingly say it."

"Only thing that will stop me is the information you have." James said. He then punched him in the face.

"OW. What was that for!?!"

"This is how the US navy interrogates Prisoners Of War in international waters son. Now, are you going to talk?"

"Nev-Ow damn it!"

Before he could finish the replay. James kicked him in the mouth, which was followed by a crack.

"How about now?"

"I will stay loyal to m-" but before he could finish that one, James kicked him in the chest, forcing the 2 men holding him to drop him.

"How about now?"

The griffon tried to get up but the ropes were too tight on his arms, legs and wings. "How far are you willing to go?"

James reached down into his boot, and pulled out a large knife which was black with a serrated edge. "That depended, how far do you think you will fly with one wing?"

"You don’t have the guts" the griffon taunted.

"Try me. Boys, undo the rope around his wings and hold a wing out." James ordered, and again, they did as told.

The griffon struggled as James walked closer with the boot knife in hand. He reached out and placed the knife on the spot where the wing came to the body. The ponies stared on in horror at what was about to happen. But at the last second right when James was about to take the wing off did the griffon start talking. "FOR THE NORTH FLEET!"

"That’s better," James said, retracting the knife from the griffon’s wing but not putting it back in his boot. "What else?"

"The north fleet was out looking for ships like this one, I was part of the scouting team sent to find them. When we found then the captain wanted to try to take the ship himself but he was killed in the fight. One of our flyers races off the ship to report where it was. I stayed behind to give him more time."

"What’s coming?"

"The north fleet has 2 griffon launchers. Each have up to 50 griffon’s onboard. Once they hear that a flight captain was killed here. They will send all of them." the griffon gunned out.

"Put him down, tie his wing back up and stick him on a mast." James ordered. The 2 men tied him back up and took him out to tie him to the base of the mast.

"Those were, some ways to make him talk sir." steel gate stammered.

"All in the job son, all in the job" James said as we walked back outside to the waiting biplane.

................................................................................................................................................

"I want every Aircraft we have in the air looking for this north fleet." James ordered over the radio to the enterprise omega.

"Working on it sir, launching over 300 planes takes time." he received.

"Just do it as fast as you can, they have 2 griffon launchers of which I believe are the same as our flat tops. Each has 50 planes." he said.

"Yes sir"

James looked over to the side of the ship. Being on it made him feel like a god at times. 4 feet of solid steel between him and anything outside. He was starting to think about how today would go when a pegasi flew into the wheel house. He was light blue and had appeared to have been in a fight of some fort and was out of breath.

"Sir, mass enemy air unit’s spotted coming from the north."

"Thank you for this information." James said.

"So now what?" steel gate asked.

"Now, you see how we do in a fight." he replied. "Sound general orders."

A Wissler went through the microphone system and suddenly men who were once playing cards on deck peacefully had abandoned their game and ran to their stations. Men ran to the AA Guns and into the main Turrets if they may be needed. Everything came alive and men started to report from radar "sir, air unit’s incoming on our starboard!”

Every gun was ruddy to fire when small black dots started to show up over the horizon.

"Wait till you see the white of their eyes to fire, and keep a hand gun or boot knife ready in case they land on desk" James ordered.

"Those things are not sharp!" Steel Gate protested. “They could never work to impale a griffon."

"They are not supposed to impale them," James said. "Just wait and see."

The griffons were much closer now and every hell cat was now out looking for the fleet or above the cloud line waiting to attack any who want to retreated.

"How long are we waiting for?" one gunner asked.

"Hold it just a little bit longer."

Seconds seemed to slow down as the griffons came in with death in their eyes. "NOW!" he yelled and all hell broke loose. Tracers shot from the AA guns and tore the attackers apart. One landed next to James and clawed at him only to reserve a large boot knife in the side of his skull. As the guns roared, a scout reported, "Captain! Enemy ship incoming!"

"Those guns will never do much damage to a ship!" steel gate yelled over the gun fire.

"We don’t use those guns on ships." James replied. He then turned to a radio man and nodded. Before steel gate could imagine what the admiral had, he saw the 4 large buildings on the ship that had the main guns rotate to face one side.

"Give the new comers a 'Shock-and-aw'." he ordered. "You may want to hold onto something." he said to gate. When gate took hold of the railing, a sudden shake and blast rocketed the ship as one of the giant canons fired. "Mother of gods."

Each gun that fired seemed to lift the ship up and out of the water. Landing direct hits on the 3 new war ships that has come in. the princess was also in the fight with her tracers flying off and she was doing salvos with her main guns. Nothing stood for long in the path of the 2 super battleships.

................................................................................................................................................

"This is hornet one to Enterprise Omega, we have spotted the enemy fleet and will start our attack run on the target over." the pilot said. He and his wing man had been flying for 30 minutes when they spotted the other fleet. Hornet one and his wing man climbed up into the clouds to dive at the carrier. "Starting my attack run" his wing man said, who followed by his flight leader was soon in the near vertical dive.

They dove down out of the clouds and aimed at the carrier with napalm bombs. The ships tried to turn away to get a shot but it was too late. Hornet one and two had released there bombs and came up from the dive.

One bomb landed mid ship, splitting in half and speeding the burning napalm 2 decks below. The second landed aft over the engine room, cutting past the flight deck and onto the hanger where most griffons were preparing to launch.

The enemy aircraft carrier was a ball of fire as they left the area.

"This is hornet 1 to enterprise Omega, attack complete, ship is burning like the sky on the 4th of July."

................................................................................................................................................

"Captain, enemy battleship inbound at 12 o’clock!"

The battleship was driving strait at them with the infections of getting past the ring of steel and sinking the transport. Emperor was the only one with a shot, and had to do something.

"Hard to port" James ordered.

"Yes sir" the man at the helm said as he spun the steering wheel over to port.

"All guns to starboard side"

"All gun rotating to starboard side sir."

Each gun turret rotated to the other side and took aim. "Tell our escorts to stay with the Peach"

"Yes sir"

"All artillery is locked and loaded sir, waiting on your order" a man said.

"The range is to far!" steel gate said, "You will never hit them".

"Fire in salvos" James ordered. The artillery shot out with thunderous booms as shells screamed into the sky. 4 shells slammed into the ship and set the decks on fire. Before they were able to load another shot in, the battleship returned fire, but didn’t have the range to get them.

"Fire again, and this time, sink them" James ordered.

The artillery thundered again as this time 9 shells slammed into the enemy battleship. Her forward 2 turrets destroyed, the enemy ship turned to let the last turret get a shot. But they were taking on so much water that the ship rolled over in the turn and sunk.

"And that, is how a battle is fought, helms man, take us back to the formation."
