How a Pirate Forms a Federation

Landing was uneventful, and we touched down on the edge of the city. I had my M-4 strapped to my back, as usual whenever i left the ship, and the others all had their respective weapons. "So we're really doing this?" Tom asked. I nodded. "You've gone mad." He told me. I nodded again. "Your idea is ridiculous, idiotic, and has so many fucking flaws it could make a battleship. I like it!" He concluded. I chuckled at that.

"Now I'm a bit scared about the part where you actually like my plan. That's when i know you're spending too much time around me." I said.

"Probably." Gilda said.

"Anyone want a muffin?" Derpy asked. I held out my hand, and she put the muffin in it.

"Where do you get these?" I asked her, taking a bite. I sighed contentedly.

"Oh, all I had to do was... Wait... Sorry! Can't reveal that secret!" She told us.

I shrugged. "As long as we can get muffins, I'm OK with it." We neared the town hall, people cluttered nearby, where a sizable crowd was gathered.

"Wonder what's going on?" Gilda asked.

"Not sure." Tom said.

"The author says it's the huge crowd to hear the pronouncement of the F.U.P!" Derpy exclaimed.

"Not even gonna question it. Not even gonna question it. Just ignore it. Don't think about it." I muttered to myself as we approached the huge crowd.

"... And that it was a huge honor to be the leader of this town!" Chocolate Pie said. "Our new leader is here, it seems!" She noticed me. I walked up to where she was standing, and we switched places.

"Ladies and gents! While you may see this as a hostile takeover, it isn't. I did this, in fact, because I wanted to form... The Federation of United Planets!" I shouted. "Just thought of it on the ship coming down! Genius, right! Together, we will topple the tyranny that is Celestia and Luna! They have waged war too long! It is time to bring an end to it!" I could hear people whispering.. "Why should we be caught in the crossfire while they wage war? While they murder innocent people, changelings, and griffons? Take their fathers and mothers away from their children? Well I say no more!"

This time a cheer rang out. "I'm sick and tired of all this war, waged for no reason! Can anyone tell me why this war started? Because I sure as hell can't!"

"It started hundreds of years ago because Prince Blueblood insulted a Threstal!" Someone shouted out. "This all started because some idiot noble!"

"Do you see what I mean? A noble started this! Because of a simple insult, an intergalactic war was started!" I waited for everyone to settle down. "That is all!" I walked into the Town Hall.

"That... Was amazing." Chocolate Pie said, Gilda and To, nodding in agreement.

"The author is trying to think of a way to make you seem less of a Gary or Mary Sue!" Derpy said.

"Ignore it." I said.

"She's right." Chocolate Pie said. "Anyway, the town has a metal mine, ship yard, and farm."

I shook my head, sitting at the mayors desk. "Nope. Build another mine, and get an arms factory up. You'll need it. I would also suggest putting a military base... Here." I pointed at a mountain range. Inside the mountain. Easily defended, can withstand bombing, undetectable, and makes a pretty good fallout shelter, just in case. It's also not too far from here, which is another plus. How long would what I want planned take?"

"The buildings maybe a few days, courtesy of a science breakthrough, a device that only needs the blueprint and materials to build something. The mountain military base a few weeks if we start tomorrow." Chocolate Pie told me.

"Send out the orders. I want this town to be working until we are at tip top condition. I would also suggest another ranch and orchard." I said.

"Understood sir. Will that be all?" She asked.

"Get the ships captains we captured earlier in here. Then that's it." I told her. She nodded and called whoever was holding them.

On there way now."

I nodded, then got ready for my day to go bad. As soon as the seven captains walked in, I sighed. They had that look of confidence, that look that said, 'I'm invincible! I can do anything!'

"You all know why you're here. So what will happen to you? You can't go back to the Republic, and the Empire is a huge no." I told them.

"Outrageous! I demand to go back! There is no reason for me to be here besides idiotic battle plans by him!" He pointed at Dan.

"I don't think so. I've known Dan. He wouldn't have been so stupid as to place everything he had in the front, where the battle was. He learned that the hard way." I could see steam coming from the officers ears. "In fact, you're the commanding officer, correct? You have the highest rank, Admiral." I smirked.

"How dare you! First, you capture me, make me come down so the commoners can laugh at me, then you say it was my fault!" The man roared. "I will not stand for this!" He pulled out a pistol he had hidden in a secret compartment in his jacket.

Before he could do anything else, over twenty red dots were aimed at his head and face, my M-4 was pointed at his groin, and Gilda, Derpy, and Tom all had their guns aimed at him. "I would drop the weapon now. That is, unless you want your chest and head to be disintegrated." I had won, and he knew it.

Nodding, I sat back down. "Now, lets get down to business, gents." The lady officer glared at me. "And lady."
