A Second Chance
Raising the Lost Warrior
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(1 Week Later, Ponyville, Equestria, Torian`s POV)
After a week of grief from the loss of my old war buddy Jerry Vinstire, I felt ready to move on and decided to head to the Golden Oaks Library to find an interesting read, since there is still a bunch of things I do not know about this magical land.
After entering the Library, I saw Twilight and Spike reorganizing the books. "Hey, Twilight." I greeted as the 2 looked back at me.
"Hey Torian, I hope your feeling better." Twilight said with a little worry.
"It`s fine Twilight, I only came by to find a nice book to read." I replied as Twilight smiled.
"OK, what book do you like?"
I was about to answer when the little drake burped out fire and a scroll appeared from the flames. It was pretty cool, but as Twilight read the letter, she gasped from either fright or excitement and then turned to me.
"Princess Celestia had just found your liner, The HMS Warrior in the Equestrian Sea almost a mile below the surface and she wants us all to Manehattan and help her raise the ship and refit it." Twilight explained as memories filled from the fateful night almost 2 months ago, where over 1,403 ponies died and the explosions from the coal bunkers. It would be amazing to send my ship back for a second chance after all we can now correct the errors made and make the Warrior stronger.
"Twilight grab your friends and Minuette, we`re heading to Manehattan." I said with confidence knowing that we will once again meet the liner that shook the world.
After leaving Ponyville, my friends began to ask what was happening since we never told them anything yet. "Can somepony please tell me whats going on?" Applejack asked and demanded for an answer.
"It seems as if the Princess had found something we lost about a few months earlier and that something, is the HMS Warrior." I explained as ponies were surprised.
"You mean that liner that sank in the ocean?" Rarity pondered.
"Exactly and the Princess wants us to help bring it back to the surface." Twilight chipped in.
"So why do we need to do this ASAP?" Rainbow tossed in.
"If we raise the ship now, we can save it from decay from rust, since the Warriors made of steel, water will cause it to corrode and eventually cause it to collapse." I explained as we slowly pulled into Manehattan. Alot of memories filled my mind from the Warrior`s launch and departure, The Changeling invasion, and my first battle with my brother, now I can only imagine the sight of the liner in dry dock being refitted and refurbished to make it look new.
"Dearest friends." Luna approached us. "Wonderful for you all to make it."
"We wouldn`t miss it for the world." I replied.
"Come, our boat awaits us and will leave to the Warrior`s location." We all followed the Lunar Princess to a research boat of some kind.
"Hello, please come aboard and we shall be there momentarily." Celestia motioned all of us aboard. After a short blow from the whistles, we began to depart from the Manehattan harbor and out to sea to give life to a warrior.
After mere hours of sailing, wed finally arrived at the ships wreck area. I know Equestria hasnt invented the submarine, but I know theyll come up with something.
"Alright, the ship is a mile below the surface and with that depth, there isn`t much light to illuminate the ship." Celestia stated as Luna chimed in. "But based on the photographs our divers took, the ship is barely in one piece with much debris."
looking at the photos the ship resembles another wreck on earth known as the HMHS Britannic.

The Warrior lies on the starboard side, the stern almost seemed to be detached from the ship, probably since the double hull held them together during the descent to the sea floor. All the funnels were ripped off their foundations, the paint faded in a few places and a few davits were missing. But thinking of how to raise the ship was quite difficult since, I`ve seen it after the attack at Pearl Harbor. Then Twilight speaks with an idea.
"Princess, I believe I know how we can save the ship, but we are going to need alot of Pegasi and a giant dome." She then looks at Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, I need you to collect all the pegasi and bring them here."
"Sure thing Twilight, I`ll be back soon." Rainbow acknowledged and flew off faster than a missile.
"Twilight, what are you thinking dear?" Rarity asked.
"Oh you`ll find out." She then charges her horn with lots of strength and seemed to be quite difficult, but she conjures a giant glass bowl and lets it sink to the bottom over the wreck site and I began getting the picture of what she was doing.
By the time the dome hit the sea floor, Rainbow Dash with over a thousand pegasi came over before us. "Alright Twilight, here is all the pegasi I could find." Rainbow gestured.
"Great, now all we need is a giant pup to pump out the water and safely remove all the sea creatures so we can raise the ship with air power." Confirming my theory.
"I`ll summon the pump Twilight." Celestia said and charged her horn and a long tube formed and the pump activated since water is being sucked from the wreck area, up the tube that stretches to the surface and pours the water back into the ocean.
It may take a while, but I know that by the time this is complete, the pegasi will be lifting the Warrior out the water and carrying it back to Manehattan will most likely be exhausting work like how Twilight told me about that water tornado the pegasi had to do to bring water up to a place called Cloudsdale.
