The bug war

BRIDGE OF FRANKLIN

15 YEARS AFTER THE ASSAULT ON PLANET P

CPT. JENNIFER JACKSON

"Captain on deck!" I heard one of the bridge crew say then saw all twenty men and women salute me as I entered.

"At ease" I said and all of them got back to their stations and I walked to my seat. "Report" I said seeing a corporal walk up to me and salute.

"Ma'am the other five ships have arrived and are awaiting orders and we located the five rocks carrying arachnids they appear to have landed on a planet and by the scans we have been following eight year old trails ma'am our scans also report sentient life on the planet your orders" he finished. I looked at the scans and what the planet looked like it resembled Terra in many ways I looked at the atmosphere readings seeing it was breathable for human's I decided what to do.

"Corporal what are our three best mobile infantry platoons?" I asked him while looking at him.

"That would be alpha platoon under the command of 2lt. Michael Heck, omega platoon under the command of 2lt. Richard Touchstone, and echo platoon under the command of 2lt. Andrew Johnson ma'am" He stated.

"Tell those lieutenants to get to the briefing room now and get the other ships into position around the planet while staying out of plasma bug range corporal" I ordered him getting up.

"By your orders captain" he said going off to do as he was told.

BRIEFING ROOM OF THE FRANKLIN

30 MINUTES LATER

I walked into the briefing room "Ma'am" I heard someone say I looked and saw three young men that looked like they weren't out of their twenty's this confused me.

"At ease are you three the commanding officers of alpha, echo, and omega platoons?" I asked them.

"Yes we are ma'am" They said in response.

"Then take a seat lieutenants" I said then they took their seats "And exactly how old are you three?" I asked taking my seat.

"Ma'am I am second lieutenant Richard and I am 23" I heard who I now know is Richard say.

"I am second lieutenant Michael and I am 22 ma'am" The person who is Michael said.

"I am 24 captain and I am second lieutenant Andrew" Andrew said.

"Okay lieutenants this is a planet we have come across" I said activating the projector and showing them the planet. "And this planet is inhabited by sentient life and apparently eight years ago the arachnid rocks we were following the trail of landed on it" I told them.

"So we're going to land on the planet kick the bugs asses and make first contact with a new race captain" Michael said.

"Yes lieutenant we are with our scans we found a clearing outside a small town or village that's near a city on the side of a mountain that clearing is going to be your LZ lieutenants but be careful we picked up bug signatures deep in the forest near the town and we don't know what the life looks like down there so be prepared you will head down there when the sun rises again that will be in 4 hours lieutenants understood" I said to them.

"Understood ma'am" they said standing up and saluting.

"Good dismissed" I said they then left the briefing room to most likely get their platoons ready.

PONYVILLE GOLDEN OAKS LIBRARY

(TAKES PLACE BEFORE THE LIBRARY WAS DESTROYED AND AFTER TWILIGHT BECAME A PRINCESS)

THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

Twilight sparkle was looking through her telescope when she saw a flash she pointed the telescope where she saw the flash then gasped at what she saw six large objects were approaching the moon and then they stopped. Her thoughts then went to what happened eight years ago when five large rocks fell from space across the world then weird creatures came out of the rocks and attacked anything near them and they hid and no one knew were the creatures went but they would continue to appear and attack anything then go back to wherever they are hiding. Then her thoughts came back to these six objects near the moon she then thought maybe they could be friendly. She then decided to let princess Celestia and princess Luna know of what she saw so she grabbed a parchment and a quill and began to write.

DEAR PRINCESS CELESTIA AND PRINCESS LUNA

I recently found something that concerns me there are six large objects near princess Luna's moon and they appear to be staying still and what I think is waiting I think they may be friendly and could help us with the creatures that arrived eight years ago. I would like your advice on what to do if they come to ponyville.

YOUR FAITHFUL STUDENT TWILIGHT SPARKLE

Twilight then got her assistant spike to send her letter to the princesses. And not long after the letter was sent there was a reply Twilight then unrolled the letter and began to read it.

DEAR TWILIGHT

My sister has just told me about these same objects that are near her moon. But you are correct they could be friendly and could helps us with those creatures my advice is if they come to ponyville try to become friends with them so they know we wont hurt them and they may not hurt us but be careful encase they are not friendly.
