"Um... This 'thing' still works... Correct Dearest Corpus?" Luna asked as she circled my ship, poking the sides and some of the panels as she made her way around it.

"To be clear dearest Luna, We have naught a clue... Hence the reason We are checking over the systems and other aspects of the vessel to make sure it is flight worthy." I assured her as I poked my head out from behind the cockpit glass, I had taken to manually checking the inboard systems while G-R ran a series of diagnostics on the rest of the ship.

"We see this, but HOW does thy creation fly Corpus... It boggles the mind to try and understand it..." Luna said as she came to a stop next to the cockpit, giving the entire craft a confused look; her eye brow raised and nibbling on her lower lip nervously.

"Well, It has many components that enable it to fly... Like Repulsor lift engines... Those are attached to the bottom of the craft and allow it to hover a certain distance from the ground. That way it has enough room to take off and enter the planet's atmosphere without having to deal with anything getting in the way. But mot the time they are used to transport single vessels across short distances without having to use the full power of the engines to use them." I idly replied as I tapped away on the holo-screens, typing in calculations and such for the atmospheric-thrusters and repulsors to work correctly.

"WE... See, if that be the case than we leave thee to thy work and shall await their completion." Luna stated before going and laying on a large rock in the small sun covered clearing. Keeping her royal decor on she spread her wings and gave one swift flap that propelled her to the top of the boulder in one go, landing gracefully on her hooves. She then lay down on her belly and let her wings unfold and spread out from her sides, letting them soak up the suns rays along with the rest of her body. She then laid her head down on the stony surface and closed her eyes, dosing off in the afternoon sun.

As she laid there I could barely contain my blush upon seeing her body cloaked in the mid-afternoon sun. Her dark midnight blue fur glowed in its light, hyper defining her features and making her feminine shape stand out evermore than usual... It took all a sizable amount of will to keep myself concentrated on the work at hand, and not to just stare at the goddess like form before me.

"Um... G-R... Hand me the access data pad please, I need to run a few numbers by it..." I hesitantly said as I reluctantly pulled my eyes away from the dark blue, golden wreathed, figure before me. With G-R extending one of his arms towards me with the pad I took it and scrolled through the pages until I found what I was looking for. The calculations for the weapons systems and the shields.

"Thanks..." I replied absentmindedly as I looked over the correct algorithms and equations needed for the re-calibrations. Once I got them organized I turned my attention back to the consoles and let my fingers fly across them at break neck speeds, readjusting everything to their optimum standards from before the crash.

"BRip dring muuuurrr... Dring Beep Ting Ping pweep." 'Corpus are the calculations done... we need to start this feking thing up before long...' G-r warbled out petulantly, still feeling a little pissed about my abrupt abandonment.

"I know, we'll get it done soon enough... just calm down." I sighed out to the impatient droid before finishing my calculations and depressing the power nodes and flipping the activation switches. "And there we go!" I shouted, feeling ecstatic at finally getting the damned thing back into working order. I kept the power from feeding into the engines, there for stalling the inevitable burst of sound when they finally came on. I then checked the rest of the systems; sensors, check, flood lights, check, pulse cannons, 100%, shields, 100%, Fuel, 75% full, torpedoes, none, bombs, none, air scrubbers, 78% clear, hull plating, 98% clear... panel a-4f and g-4f need changing.

"Well it seems everything's in tip top shape, save for the nose panels... but those always need changing..." I muttered to myself as I scratched my chin. I then leaned back in the seat and gave a long yawn, earning a slight warning from G-r stating that 'I should take a nap soon if I wanted to keep at optimal efficiency.' I gave him a dismissive nod and got up out of the chair and walked on over to where Luna had laid down not ten minutes ago. Stumbling a few times I came up beside the large rock and sat down beside it, slumping over and getting cozy against its warm surface.

"Wake me in half an hour G-r... when the tests are done..." I drawled out, yawning as I leaned back against the rock and proceeded to pass out.

Dream Scape?

Corpus's Mind...

I stood atop a large mount, looking over a large valley that had been filled with hundreds of thousands of troops. They were all Equine in nature, the pegasus, Earth ponies, and unicorns all milled about as they prepped their large camp for the night. The cacophony of armor being moved about could be heard all the way up to my position on the mount, a clear two miles from their current position.

I then paid attention to what I had worn, seeing as it was not what I had fallen asleep with; a long billowing black blue cape hung off the backs of my shoulders, which had been covered in silver blue metal paldrons. The paldrons were large, but not so much so that they hindered my movements much. I also had a five piece chest piece, one piece over each peck with the rest making up my abbe and stomach armor. The sectioned pieces allowed me to have a higher mobility, while still keeping the amount of skin protected as if I had been wearing a one piece. I also had full arm and leg armor of the same segmented design, it was of the likes I had never seen before... making it hard for me to truly grasp what each piece was called.

I then looked down to my waste and found that only one of my saber hilts had been left upon my belt, right next to a large steel sword. The hilt was an ebony color with silver string woven into the wrap.

"Day Corpus... What art thou perceiving this day?" The voice of Luna slowly materialized behind me, just off to my right hand side, along with the rest of her body. This time, though, she was wreathed in her battle gear and was out fitted with two long katana like blades. They were strapped along her waist and thighs, the straps running over, under, and across her waist and thighs.

"There's no need to speak like that here Luna... No one will hear you..." I stated under my breath, making her blush slightly. she then cleared her throat and looked over the land before us, bringing my attention back to the ponies on the valley floor.

"What is this corpus... I don't understand... This feels and looks different from normal dreams..." Luna asked shakily, motioning her hoof towards the sides of the valley and towards the sky... The areas she pointed out were slightly hazy and caused the two of us a slight headache just to glance at them. I then looked back down at the valley floor and found something disturbing... I saw the two of us under the awning of a tent gesturing over a table that had a map tacked down to its surface and was covered in hundreds of small figurines.

"Luna... This... This is... A vision..."

"A vision... I didn't know you were a seer..."

"All those like me can have a visions of the future... It's just that this is the first one I've had in... many years..." I explained as I tried to copy all I saw to memory. The layout of the tents, the amount of troops, the things they were doing, what Luna and I were doing... and even the location were copied down to memory just as the vision ended and we were thrust back into reality.

Luna and I soon found ourselves siting on and next to the giant boulder in the clearing, with G-r still plugged in. Luna was trying not to puke from the sudden reality changing effects of being tossed straight form someone's dream to the waking world, while I was trying to just trying to stop my head from spinning any longer. I soon got up and stumbled over to the ship, catching my balance on the lip of the cockpit.

"G-r, how long till we can get out of here... We have urgent information for Celestia... And she needs it now!" I growled out, grinding my teeth at the sudden urge to vomit. Especially after hearing Luna lose her battle against the urge.

"Breep, boo... Driiing" 'Its ready now... I was about to get you too...' G-r tweedled out, making me sigh in appreciation. Luna then stumbled down off the rock and over to us looking a little sick even after tossing her cookies.

"WE art ready to leave then?" She asked a little shakily. She then collapsed down on the ground and shook slightly from the still present urge to vomit uncontrollably. She then got up quickly and scampered over to a bush, the sounds of vomit hitting the dirt were rather unpleasant to hear. I quickly walked over and helped hold her mane out of the way, keeping it out of the line of fire.

"We hate it when that happens... but its usually after a hangover..." I chucked slightly at the growl of annoyance I got from Luna before she puked again. After her third upchuck she seemed to have gotten a hold of her faculties and calmed down. "Feeling better now, Dearest Luna?" I asked a concern coloring the undertone of my voice.

"Yes... Now... Shalt we go and receive thy ship?" She asked, trying to draw attention away from herself as she tried to regain any perceived loss in dignity.

"Very well then let us not dally... Time is of the essence." I smirked as she gave glared daggers at me, seeing as I was kind of poking fun at her.

"Yes... Let's..." She said, still glaring at me, as she shook herself and walked over to the ship, though a little unsteadily. She then sat down on her haunches and gave me a very pointed look, lifting a brow at me in the process.

"Fine... G-r, lets show her how we do things... The RIGHT WAY!" I yelled gleefully as I vaulted up, over, and into, the cockpit seat. I buckled everything up and was about to close the hatch when I noticed something... There was a to more room in here than I had remembered... Then again I usually wore my armor and other attire while traveling... being much bulkier than I was now. I then looked over at Luna and looked at her trying to figure out if she could fit in here as well.

"What is it... Corpus..." Luna asked as she eyed me warily, trying to discern my intentions before hand.

"Weeeeell... We were thinking..."

"Oh Creator... not again..." Luna interrupted me, a shit-eating grin shot across her face, making me scowl at her... before laughing my head off.

"As We were saying... We were thinking... Would thou be interested in a short fight back to the Ivory City... It shan't take long and we will be back 'fore supper." I drawled out, making sure that she understood what I was saying.

"Um... We see naught a problem with this... But why the sudden interest to race us?" She asked, confusion evident all over her face... Giggity!

"Um... We weren't thinking a race dearest Luna... We were thinking a ride... With us... In the ship..." I, for some reason, then got the immediate urge to blush like a mad man and look away, trying to hide the fact that I had just asked the Princess of the night to sit with me in the small enclosed space of my delta 7's cramped cockpit.

"Um... We would be... honored to... Fly With thee... Just don't get any funny ideas Corpus..." Luna hesitantly stated, her slightly broken sentence had at first dashed my hopes of trying to woo Luna slightly, er, well what now I would have called wooing her... back then it was just to giver her a good time with newer technology. Though at the end my hopes were not dashed as she agreed to my more than horrid request.

"Then please, come..." I got up from my seat and held out a hand for Luna to grab a hold of with her fore leg, helping her up onto the ship and then down onto my lap as I sat back into my seat. She carefully stepped around me as she got into a comfortable position on my lap inside the cockpit... "Luna... before we take off We would like to warn thee... This... is nothing like the flying thou are used to... So hold on" I smiled and wrapped one arm around her as I took a hold of the yoke with my other hand and kicked the Repulsors and the engines into drive. We then started floating up off the ground, the sound of the Engines were deafening being so close to the ground and in an enclosed area.

The ship shot up into the air and sat there for a moment before I pushed the thrust control throttle forwards, shooting us off at half the speed of sound. Luna's immediate reaction to the sudden movement was to wrap her fore legs around me and give a very girly 'yipe' before the awe of the situation overtook her. She took a few looks about until the ship started rumbling around us. She had buried her muzzle into the crook of my neck as the ship lurched about in the atmosphere, bumping and shifting around as the turbulence rocked the fighter about. Once we got up high enough the turbulence cut away and it became smooth sailing from then on out, mostly.

"Dearest Luna... Thou can open thy eyes now, the turbulence has ended and there is no more need to hold on for dear life..." I smiled down to the princess curled up into my side and neck... A shit eating grin plastered on my face. Luna then slowly slid her head out form under my chin and looked about wide eyed, taking in all the views that she could. She then looked back over to me and placed her cheek up against mine and rubbed it gently with her face, nuzzling me softly with her satin like fur. This brought a noticeable warmth to my cheeks and the rest of my body.

In return I could feel Luna's cheeks warm as well, she then shifted around to where her body was laying sideways on mine with her head resting on my shoulder looking to the fore of the cockpit. She even wrapped her right leg across my chest, holding me in a half embrace. The feeling of her leg wrapped around me brought a sense of warmth to my being, one I had not felt since my time on Kesh... With a woman I had long since honored and forgotten the touch of... Yet, this feeling now was much stronger than the one I had when being in her presence... Or even when I had held her in my arms those few centuries ago...

"Corpus... This is so... Beautiful..." She murmured out as we flew through the, now, night sky. The stars had become aplenty the farther we traveled up and out of the atmosphere, leaving behind the grey clouds and dirt behind us.

"Would thou like to be among them dearest Luna... To SEE what thou moves ever night, to glimpse it and even touch it should thou wish it?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper as my breath tickled her ear, "WE can take thou to the body that thou moves and is intimate with by feel alone... and touch it..." I had started to draw my free hand along her back, making her squirm at my touch, my fingers simulating her soft skin with the barest of touches, driving her to be enamored with the feeling for the short time we were there. I could feel her slightly hitched breaths as she squirmed under my touch... I had no Idea where my sudden feelings had come from but I wanted them to be real... To not have to be alone ever again like I had always been... Even when taking a new wife every forty to fifty years for so long...

"Corpus... We would... Love that... Indeed it would be something of a dream to finally see up close what We bring about each and every night... But to feel it... That is something I would love to do..." She nestled into my shoulder even as she hummed silently to my continued musings with her spine. Her breathing stilled ever so slightly as she let the m warm touch continue upon her bare back hide, grinning slightly up at me as I gave her a toothy half grin.

"If that be what her majesty commands... Than so it shall be..." I murmured softly, pressing my head against hers before turning my attention to the space around us and heading to the space between the earth below us and the moon above. Shifting a few dials I turned the ship over to G-r and let him know what I had all planned by sending him a text message detailing what I had planned for our little excursion to the stars... and that we should be done in an hour or two... leaving us with twenty minutes to get back for dinner... Or at least that's what I had hopped...

Author's Note

The Power of Corpus is ever being brought to light... What will our Lord do next?

If any of you have a suggestion for any of his powers, give me a shout... Seeing as he is a fairly.... Advanced Master I would say he has many tricks up his sleeve. Other than that! Happy hunting!
