Twisted Nightmares: Voyage of the unknown

"Wait what? Comrade you can't be serious! Ships have gone in there and never came back out." Aleksey said with shock.

"Yes I am one hundred percent serious. We are heading straight into the Triangle itself. And now we know the reason why our ships never return." Marcus said and shot Celestia and Luna a death glare. "Don't worry girls I'll be sure not to get us killed. But why would I? After all you have finally gave me a reason to see this war through." With that said Marcus pushed the Ships throttle to maximum. A sudden jolt with the ships speed indicted it was going faster.

"Sir that Axis Warship is getting closer. What are your orders?" Asked the radar officer. Marcus pulled down the microphone for the the ship to ship radio.

"To un-identified warship, this is the United Nations Selena. Identify yourselves immediately." Marcus said into it. He released the button and the room was filled with the radios buzzing sound. At first everyone thought that they stumble across a abandoned ship.

"United Nations Selena, this the HMS Frostbite. State your business in these waters." Came the reply. Marcus jumped back in surprise.

"Looks like its one of your nations warship, comrade." Aleksey said walking up to Marcus and then standing next to him.

"HMS?" Luna asked out the blue, causing Marcus to look at her.

"Her Majesty's Ship. It means that the ship belongs to the Queen of England. Didn't think we still held that call sign." He said before snapping back to face the ocean. "This the UN Selena, we are on a top secret mission. Classified on all Government sectors. Turn your ship around immediately."

"Your on a classified mission?" Luna asked getting slightly curious.

"Yes we are. Any more details regarding this mission, are extremely classified. Only the Queen or higher can know of this mission. Right, they've had long enough to reply. Position guns to their position." Marcus said as he scanned for abnormalities on the ocean waves. He soon found it. The British naval vessel was coming at them from the port side. Once again the loud mechanical whirring echoed through the Bridge once more.

"UN Selena, we are requesting permission to provide extra reinforcements by order of the Queen herself." Said the Captain of the HMS Frostbite.  "We are carrying four Liquid Nitrogen shell launchers. Still yet to be approved for Naval warfare. We ask for covering fire on this mission, in return for us giving reinforcements."

Marcus exhaled loudly and couldn't believe what he was hearing. Liquid nitrogen being weaponised into Naval warfare. From what he heard the last experiments ended in disaster. But now he had to make a choice. Let yet another vessel be lost in this small victory. Or allow it tag along and provide the necessary extra reinforcements that may be needed for the rest of the mission. He made his decision.

"HMS Frostbite are cleared to assist, proceed to acquired coordinates and rally there. We still have another 'alien vessel' to take care off. You continue to coordinates we will rally up" Marcus ordered before notifying the crew in charge of the anchors to drop the port anchor again. The only deference now were the guns. Instead of protecting the starboard side, they were no protecting the port side. "See you through the storm HMS Frostbite." Once that was over Marcus turned back around and noticed that Celestia was bowing her head and was muttering something. He quietly whistled to get Aleksey's attention. It worked, he then mouthed. 'See what's wrong with her.'

"What seems to be problem Celestia?" Aleksey asked sounding like he came up with the idea and wasn't ordered to. He made his to Celestia and stopped by her side. Celestia passed him a weak glaze before dropping her head again.

"Long story." She said. Aleksey grinned at her slight stubbornness. But two can play at that game.

"I have time. In fact we have more then enough before Marcus blows a third spacecraft out of the sky. So with all due respect speak your mind." Aleksey said folding his arms and pulling a emotionless face. Celestia sighed but remained quiet. Aleksey shook his head. "Fine, by that way if you desire. But the longer you bottle it. The more you'll regret it." He then shuffled slightly before slowly backing away.

"Wait please!" Celestia eventually whispered loud enough for him to hear. When she heard Aleksey's footsteps ceased, she relaxed. "Truth be told, I'm scared. For myself and Luna." She heard Aleksey get closer. He was chuckling lightly

"You'd be a pretty horrible sister otherwise wouldn't you? Think about it. Your in a world which you've been attacking for a reason unknown, and now your aboard a feared warship. You would be emotionless if you didn't feel something. Before you ask, how long has Marcus been like this. I will say this. You are incredibly lucky he didn't shoot you on the spot when he had the chance. But he is a man who likes to see those suffer in return for what they took from him. In fact I'm surprise your sister hasn't copped his anger. Yet. However since you are not the one that killed Sasha, he will leave you alone in-till you do something to him. Don't give him that reason." Aleksey said and folded his arms. Celestia turned to face him.

"I wish I never caused all this. I've plunged your kind into war. Something that I'm against." She said with a sniffle.

"Celestia listen to me. Humanity has had many wars with itself over the years. Each war caused by something different yet similar. You what started our wars? Politics. Different Nations have different views, and when we don't agree we rebel to prove which one is the better option. In fact I'm almost glad that war is happening. Why? Because Russia and America are finally allies once more." Aleksey said in attempt to cheer her up. So far it worked.

"Marcus! That Equestrian spacecraft is nearing at a rapid past." Called the radar officer. "Also the Captain of the HMS Frostbite wishes to speak should I patch him through?" With a nod off Marcus she past the word along to radio officer, who then patched the radio transmission to loud speaker.

"Alright then gents and ladies, let's go this together chaps and let's kick their rear ends back to wear they came." Said the HMS Frostbite's captain.

"Change of plan Captain, we have new intel from the coordinates I sent you. We'll head there and destroy the contact there. That's an order not a suggestion." Marcus said while he twisted the helm fully to the right. In response the UN Selena tilted left as it steered hard right without the use of the anchor. For once. "Fire the flare."

"Sir, I'd advise not using the flare." Said one of crew members. Marcus couldn't tell who it was, for the reason was the glow-sticks were now dying.

"Yes, I agree. Wouldn't that give away your position?" Luna asked slightly pleased with herself for finally speaking 'normal English'. Marcus groaned with annoyance.

"Yes it would give our location away. But it would also allow me to see were the HMS Frostbite is. By the way you've picked up on modern English rather quickly." He said. "Will someone just fire the flare before I kicked someone up their arse!" Within seconds a flare was launched into the air.

"That it? I was expecting light." Luna said disappointed

"Don't worry it will light this darkness with a matter of seconds. Just don't look directly at it." Marcus said chuckling to himself. He looked at Luna and still looked confused he was going ask, but he was interrupted by the loud hiss of the flare finally lighting itself up. Luna immediately looked away blinking rapidly while she looked away. "Ah there you my friend, not to close and not too far. Right that's enough of steering for one day."

"UN Selena is that you? We've lost our radar since that flare went up."

"Selena reporting in, yes it's us don't fire! We sent a flare to locate your position as our radar was cracking up on us. We are after all by the Bermuda itself. Never thought I'd be saying this, but were going to need all the help we need. Keep your course we will be right behind you."

"But these coordinates head straight into the Bermuda, and the weather is getting worst."

"I've figured it out why our ships never come back. The Bermuda is gateway to another world, and the weather is primary defence to drive ships away. Keep your course and fire the rear cannon at target when I give the order, the electro magnetic flare will disrupt its optics and radar for a short amount of time. That's all we need."  The Bermuda was only blink away now.

"Gah, that's bright!" The entire bridge crew exclaimed, all except Marcus. He watched as the scene unfold. The dark clouds were pierced by a heavenly golden light that revealed a beautiful blue sky. Just in the distance was a city with a statue made of some sort of green material.

"It's New York!" Aleksey exclaimed.

"No, New York has the entire United States Navy guarding it now. This city has nothing protecting it." Marcus said while he switched his attention to the HMS Frostbite which was sailing just ahead of them on their port side. However his attention was seized by a gasp. He turned around to notice both Celestia and Luna looking at him. "What seems to be so interesting now?"

"Your so well built." Luna said blushing ever so slightly. Marcus looked at his arms. "What are they?" She pointed at the three flags on his right arm and the picture of a survival knife. The blade was positioned vertically with blood running of the tip. Two small sentences one at the bottom and the other at the top. Luna couldn't resist reading them aloud. "When the Darkness seems to spread. Be the light that pushes that darkness."

"Yes, it a motto I've always lived. I made it up so I never forget to loose hope, I made it because if I'm happy then I can spread that happiness and push the darkness away. However it seems after the lost of my daughter, extinguished that flame and now I will destroy the very thing that took her sweet little soul from me." Marcus said as he got handed an apple by one of the sailors. Luna eyed it curiously. "I haven't slept in five days on this voyage. I will not rest in till I've torn the bastard's heart from his chest." With that said he gently squeezed the apple it instantly popped. Apple juice began to run off his hand and splattered on the floor causing Luna to jump back.

"And you aware that these two Princesses are more then just a normal right?" Aleksey asked with a smile slowly appearing on his features.

"Yes I noticed, they both have a horn and wings. Was I supposed to be surprised? Well I'm not. In fact I'm a little disappointed." Marcus said before he moved back to controlling the ship. "HMS Frostbite resume course head straight towards that green statue and don't stop for anything." Marcus said as he took control of his ship. Then just out of the corner of eye he noticed a civilian cruiser creeping its way into his arc of fire.
