The New Lunar Republic- Rebellion of The Solars
Chapter 7
Previous ChapterNext ChapterShe turns off the microphone and trots to the two solars, and takes down the force field around them, ceasing the truth spell, "You are free to go. We have made a deal, three quarters of this planet belong to your kind, one quarter to us. Your captain will explain if you weren't listening."
Snow nods and smiles before trotting out of the room, the other huffs and storms away. She rolls her eyes and giggles at the differing personalities of the two stallions. Silver watches them go and frowns. Sky glances over at her, "What?"
"You should have denied his request, your majesty."
"How come? I'm simply doing what's fair, there are plenty of other planets out there. I've even been colonizing a few." She stated, looking back to the cameras.
She sees on all the cameras Solar retreating from the spaceport, she had won with minimal casualties. Silver shakes her head. "Those slime didn't deserve a peaceful end."
"Heh. They think the same of us," she got close to Silver's face, tapping the mare's forelock, "Think outside your own perspective."
Silver rolls her eyes slightly. "I don't agree with you... but, you are effective."
"Now," she smiled and turned back to the cameras, "I don't exactly want to be too sure that he was honest, so I'd like to keep some troops here for a bit."
Silver nods approvingly. "That's good, your majesty, and soon Luna will be supply us with reinforcements now that we can get shuttles in and out."
"Alright," and with that, walked to the door. Silver follows after her. "Your majesty, where are you going?"
"Just to explore the port." She shrugs and follows after her. "So, should we call the others here?" Skywriter asks as they trot from room to room. "Comms are already being established with the nearest friendly planet, your majesty" She informs her. The princess nods in approval. She trots along beside her. "Luna should get news of your work here within a few days."
"Heh," Sky chuckles, "Hope she's okay with it."
"I'm sure she'll be happy to hear of your success, your majesty."
"In claiming the port?"
"That and in ending the rebellion here for the most part, that stallion led a good chunk of the solars troops here, the only opposition left will be a smaller force of fanatics led by Deleth"
"Ah," she smiled.
She nods. "So, what shall we do about the remaining solars, your majesty? I suggest annihilation." Skywriter sighed, "I am not killing anypony. If you have such a thirst for blood, Silver, I'd suggest hunting or something else to occupy those thoughts." She frowns. "It's not a thirst for blood, your majesty, it's a simple and permanent way to get rid of these solars."
"Heh. Permanent. Maybe in the short lifetime of a foal dying early." she scoffed, "That's not a permanent solution. There is no permanent solution, one way or another."
"Better solution then letting them run wild" She mutters under her breath. "Hm." She stopped in her tracks in seeing solars go by idly. They notice the victorious Lunar princess and hurry along. Sky glanced at Silver, "Now I'm not going to get too cocky," she said, "but why else would they do that?"
Silver rolls her eyes and replies. "Insignificant rats fear the cat even if that cat makes ill thought out decisions at times." Sky sighed, "I'm sorry, Silver, that you are not satisfied with this resolve...of sorts. But new planets can be established. Far from here, and any solar to penetrate their borders would be considered an invader, I promise you that." She replies simply, staring hard at the leaving Solars. "This planet will still be plagued by their diseased hides though, your majesty." The princess stopped and draped a wing over the mare, "I am sorry if you feel this is not right. Perhaps we can work something else out with them, but I do not want conflict."
She sighs softly. "Perhaps you are right, your majesty, conflict may not be best... but it will happen, these fools driven on by their tyrant will never stop."
"Who says they do not think the same of us? I'm trying to end this once and for all. If we are capable of finding new settlements, then we mind as well give them what they want and guard the new ones," The princess concluded, "We have enough money and power. The Republic is strong, and there are plenty of young mares and stallions that would be willing to help search out what could possibly be our own lunar system."
"Celestia doesn't want us to guard anything! She wants you, Luna and ever last one of us Lunars dead!" Silver corrects her, frowning up at the princess. "Not her sister, never her sister." She replied, "If Celestia is to interfere, I will reason with her." Silver stares at the princess for a few moments then shakes her head. "Anyway... we should return to the city, Your Majesty."
"I thought we were staying here for a bit?"
"No need, the boys will take are of things here and engineers will be sent when we return and give Commander Moon the good news."
"Alright."
She nods and begins leading the princess out of the port.
Once they get outside, Skywriter looks around. Solars wander, talking to each other and ignoring the two lunars. Seeing the Princess they hurry along, led away by their captain. "I wish this not our fate," Skywriter remarked, "It seems as though we will have some getting used to together."
"There would be no need of that if the Solars were dead." The princess groaned, "I'm not killing anypony. End of story." She brought her muzzle close to her chest, an impatient look on her face. "Well, let's get going back to the city, your majesty."
"Alright. Why don't we trot?"
"Hmm, as you wish." She picked up a brisk trot, and they made their way back to the city without speaking.
