As she gazed up through the telescope, Princess Luna was in awe about what was happening far up above the lands of Equestria as the largest of the objects she saw seemed to be growing in size while at the same time, could tell that whatever that thing was, was in grave trouble. Despite how badly she wanted to help...whatever that was that was getting larger, she didn't know how it would react to her approach and just sat on her flanks and watch what was unfolding. Once the large object had entered the atmosphere proper, she saw that it had begun to glow bright red, but as she turned to look a little further up, so too were the smaller objects which continued to fire upon the large object.

Knowing that this move could very well spell the end of everyone within his guild, Michael Naral was willing to take that risk as opposed to a guaranteed death if they had chose to fight it out. Normally such numbers against the Armageddon would be little trouble for the massive battleship, but it had been a few decades since her last over-haul and the crew had been doing everything possible to keep the ship space worthy, let alone combat capable until a colony could be founded. A majority of her weapons and turrets had to have parts scavenged from them to keep the most critical parts of the ship operational; namely the life support and jump drives. As the ship entered the atmosphere, Michael Naral had hoped that what were probably assassins would cease their attack, but with the help of a camera at the stern of the ship sunk that hope as the ships behind him began to glow with the atmospheric entry.

"Whoever hired these guys must really want us dead" stated Michael in a calm voice. Though he appeared calm and collected as he normally would, inside he was panicking just like everyone else as another blast rocked the vessel.

"Admiral! The reactor room was just hit! There is a hull breach and the primary reactor core has now begun to overload!" exclaimed one of the surviving crewmen on the bridge as he looked back at his leader, knowing that death would be imminent.

Realizing just how much more dangerous the situation has become, but at the same time the luck that they would have to have to pull this off and live, Michael Naral looked back to the ensign that had informed him.

"Jettison that reactor core! If we're lucky, the blast of the core will take all of them out!"

"But sir-" started the ensign, realizing that such a move could very well destroy themselves as well as their pursuers.

"Just do it!" cried out the Admiral as he grasped onto the chair he had been sitting in moments ago.

Without any more objections, the Ensign nodded to Michael Naral and began the process of jettisoning the overloading reactor core. Within moments, the reactor had been shot up out of it's chamber and began to fly back towards their pursuers. Knowing that his could have been the final moments of his extremely long life, Michael closed his eyes and silently prayed for those who were aboard his ship and still alive, to survive and start a new life on this new world.

Back at Canterlot Castle, Luna couldn't help wondering what had caused this fight as she was now watching the object descend with her naked eyes, but before she could get too deep into her thoughts; a blinding flash that was followed rather quickly by an almost deafening boom and massive shockwave blew poor Luna off of her hooves and slammed her body up against the ivory colored tower, causing the alicorn to let out a loud yelp of pain. The shockwave had did more damage than just harming Princess Luna. All of the windows throughout Ponyville, Canterlot, and Cloudsdale shattered as if someone had thrown a large rock at them with the intent to break them and windows as far away as the Crystal Empire rattled as if a small earthquake had happened. Lights everywhere flicked on as ponies everywhere woke to the noise that was caused and wondered what it was. Many of them stepped outside and looked around confused as to what had caused such a racket at this time of night. It wasn't until a couple moments later that ponies in every village, town and city spotted a glowing object falling from the sky and knew that such a thing wasn't planned by the pegasi at the weather factory. Many young colts and fillies huddled close to their parents, scared of what was going to happen, and while they tried not to show it, the parents themselves feared that it may have been the end of the world for them and that not even the Princesses Luna and Celestia would be able to save them from this fate.

Woken up from her slumber by the sound of a large amount of glass shattering, a white alicorn with a flowing, multi-colored mane and tail leapt onto her hooves and looked outside to see her chamber's now glassless window to see what was wrong. It didn't take for Princess Celestia to spot the falling object and after opening her window, began to fly up to the observation platform so she could get a better look as to what it was. Upon touching down on the platform, she saw her sister Luna slumped over by one of the walls and a large crack in the wall above where she was. "Lulu!" Celestia cried out as she hurried over to her sister's side and knelt down next to her. "Lulu, are you alright dear sister?" she asked as she tried to wrap her arms around her fallen sibling. Luna almost instantly let out another cry in agony when Celestia's hand brush up against her wings and ribs, which quickly recoiled back. Worried about the condition her sister was in and the fact that she more than likely couldn't stop such an object from falling on her own, the princess of the sun closed her eyes and waited for what would seem like the end.

In Ponyville, a slumbering Twilight Sparkle and her companion Spike were quickly and rudely awoken by the roar of the blast as well as the shattering of all of her windows and even shook her home a little. "What the hay was that?!" exclaimed Twilight and she practically jumped out of bed to see what was happening. Upon looking outside, she saw many other ponies wondering the same thing, and some of them had even stepped outside of their home to look around. Before she could leave her place at the window, an awake Spike hurried to Twilight's side.

"What's going on Twilight? What's with the noise?" asked Spike as he climbed up to window sill to look outside.

"I don't know Spike, but we're going to find out," Twilight said to her faithful dragon companion as she picked him up and stepped outside. As she looked around, the lavender unicorn felt a tapping on her shoulder and turned to Spike who had tapped her. Without saying a word, she looked up to where he was pointing and her mouth opened wide with pure shock at seeing what she assumed to be a meteor on a collision course with Equestria.

Back in the command room of the Armageddon, Michael Naral felt the shockwave from the overloading reactor detonating and had realized that the massive shockwave had blown the ship off of its landing course and sent it into a wild spinning freefall which quickly caused the remaining crew to fall unconscious . Parts of the outside such as turrets that had been scavenged from and a few of the sensor antennas were snapping off like twigs in a tornado as just minutes into the spin, the ship impacted the ground; leaving a huge crater, but the momentum of the ship kept it moving on its side, causing even more external damage. As thick and heavy plates of armor, turrets and even a few hanger doors were being damaged and even ripped off, the ship eventually came to a stop from the slide and luckily landing right side up.

Several long, agonizing minutes had passed before Michael Naral came too and shook his head, trying to get himself together, which was a bad idea. An intense headache began to pulse through his entire skull and the nausea he felt from the phase jump earlier didn't bode well for him. Within a moment of shaking his head, he placed his right hand up to his mouth in a futile attempt to hold back what was coming. The contents of his stomach had come up and out of his mouth, one mouthful after another. Despite his stomach practically turning itself inside-out, Michael Naral was more worried about the surviving crew of the crash landing than his own well-being. As he tried to transmit his voice throughout the ship, he still felt quite ill but did his best to hide it.

"Ugh...This is Michael Naral, all stations give me a damage and casualty report. I repeat, this is Michael Naral, all stations give me a damage and casualty report," he said before finally looking up and seeing the carnage that laid before him. It was obvious at first to see just how many on the bridge had died due to being the one of the first places not only hit by enemy fire, but from the impact as well. Several bodies had been splattered upon the walls and consoles to the point that if it wasn't for the dog tags within the entrails, they would be unidentifiable. Turning to the right he saw more unfortunate souls that had died as well. Some through decapitation, and others through being impaled through some vital organs. With a sigh and with no reports or responses coming in, he figured he must be the only survivor of the crash and decided to find a way out of the ship, noticing that his trench coat had slipped off and the rest of his clothing as well as his face was covered in blood of his deceased crewmen and women.

I sure as hell hope I'm wrong about being the only survivor, he thought to himself with a heavy sigh. Still feeling quite sick and the sights of his former crewmen and women not helping his condition, Michael Naral slowly and unsteadily got up onto his two feet and with a little stumbling, made it out of the bridge and into a hallway that, while appeared to be better at first, was anything but when he got further in. Fires were burning out of control and consuming the bodies of those that had died as well as whatever had been shook loose due to the impact, not to mention the cables that sparked and hung from the ceiling. Softly shaking his head again, and continuing down a clear hallway, he came across an elevator shaft and looked up and down for where the car was. Squinting his eyes a little, Michael Naral could make out the shape of the car in the shaft and ran a quick bio-scan to see if there were any survivors or bodies in it. As luck would have it, the car was empty and was holding its position at what he assumed to be roughly at some point in the middle decks of the wrecked ship. Taking a breath, he stepped off of the ledge and fell down the shaft and with a loud crunch, landed on and crushed the car. What happened next is something he didn't predict would happen; the emergency brakes on the car that held it in place when there was no power gave way from the force of the landing, sending the elevator car and cyborg on top plummeting down to the bottom of the shaft.

Well...that's one way to get down to the bottom floors of the ship, Michael Naral thought to himself as he rested on the twisted heap of the now useless elevator car. Standing up as his body pulled up some of the scrap that had broken off of the car and with a little effort, forced the elevator shaft door to open and looked into the room he was looking at. If my memory serves correctly and judging from how far I fell, I should be near one of the hanger bays, he thought as he climbed up out of the shaft and almost collapsed as he felt small thump not far from him. Fuck, I hope that reactor explosion really did kill off all of the pursuers. Otherwise there is going to be some serious hell to pay. With that, Michael Naral prepared himself for combat and looked at his right arm. With a soft, malicious smile, his arm began to swell as the fore-limb was changed from within thanks to the nano-bots flowing through what would one could call his blood, from a normal arm, to a powerful plasma cannon. Once he now had his plasma cannon ready, he resumed his way towards the hanger, leaning up against the wall with each step he took and eager to take revenge for his ship and comrades.

"Hurry men, we need to find any and every survivor and ensure the Admiral's safety as well!" cried out the Captain of the survey ship once it had landed close to one of the hanger bays the crashed Armageddon. Once the bay door on the survey ship opened, the few men and women on board were carrying cutting tools of various kinds and began to cut open the hanger bay doors. As the cutting was underway, the captain sighed. "Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would ever happen," he said to himself, and scratched his head.

Surprised as to what had just happened, Twilight Sparkle and Spike were speechless until they heard a pair of familiar voices and turned to see them.

"Twilight, if you're out then I'm assuming you saw whatever the hay that was," said one of her friend's Applejack as she hurried over to her friend's side with a few drops of sweat appearing on her brow. Twilight guessed that she had either been in the middle of her morning chores, or had run to her home straight from her own in Sweet Apple Acres.

"Yeah, what was that?" asked Rainbow Dash as she flew in next to Applejack before yawning a little, a sign that whatever that noise was had woken the pegasus up from her sleep.

"I don't know girls, but I intend to find out. Lets get the others and meet up here." With that, the three ponies split up to get the other three and within the span of ten minutes, everyone had met up at the Golden Oak library.

"Okay everyone's here. Let's go check out what had crashed over there," Twilight Sparkle said as she pointed over to a plume of smoke on the horizon.

For those of you who are wonder where did this ass-pull of a move about his arm come from, I am using the character from here that is of my original creation, though with some things that are not of my own.
