Author's Note

Okay people I must confess why it took me so long to post this.
I was binge playing medal of honor airborne, It so fun to run up to a Nazi and whack them on the head with a live grenade.
Err okay since school started today and I have two dual credit classes I will barley have time to write this story. This does not mean it will go on hiatus It just means I will be posting at a far slower rate.

Just a normal day

Mission 6 Just a normal day

Briefing:

1.Land the Enterprise at base

2.Prepare for another adventure

Pov Eric

Date: [L+12]

Time: 5:00 pm

Location: Over White tail woods

It has been about an hour or two since we left Appleloosa after giving the ponies there supplies and so far it has been a calm ride with nothing happening. Right now the Enterprise is over white tail woods about to cross over into our territory and if I’m correct Amber should have built a line of defenses to protect the base/town. Spotting something ahead I grabbed my binoculars and peered through and saw a line of MG bunkers with their turrets looking for targets. Spotting the mountains in the distance I put down the binoculars and turned the wheel left about 15 degrees so that we were directly pointed at the Base. Grabbing the mike “All hands prepare for landing we’re near the base and should land in a couple of minutes I hope you had a wonderful time flying freedom air.”

Spotting the base in the distance I tried to do something new with the cybernetic eyes. Focusing at the base new words came up “Increasing magnification by 10x” Suddenly the base didn’t seem so small as I was able to tell individual buildings but sadly couldn't see people still.

Decreasing the magnification I slowed the Enterprise down as we were nearing the center of the base. Steering a giant airship to be parallel with a tower is harder than you think as I turned the wheel very finely so that the Enterprise does not crash into the mooring tower. When We docked with the mooring tower I stepped away from the wheel deciding to check on the girl from earlier.

Walking up the stairs as quietly as I could I see that the girl is still asleep. Smiling I walk over to pick the girl up and bring her down to the base. Walking down the stairs and out the door with the girl in my arms I made as little sound as I could as to not wake up her. Walking through the various hatches and doors I could not see a single person as they probably left the ship as soon as we docked. Walking up to the elevator I pushed the button for down and waited for it to come up. The girl must’ve been cold again as she snuggled into my chest yearning for warmth. With the elevator’s doors opening I stepped inside pushing the button for first floor and waiting.

A few seconds later the doors opened to reveal the cargo/vehicle maintenance room with a open hatch at the very end. Stepping of the elevator I started my trek to the open hatch walking by sleeping vehicles and funnily enough some sleeping men as well. Reaching the hatch a small metal gangplank connected the enterprise to the mooring tower where another elevator awaited us. Walking across the gangplank towards the elevator I pushed the button for down. Again waiting for the elevator as it slowly made its way back up I couldn't help but smile at the girl in my arms while yet wondering what's her story.

With the elevator’s doors opening I stepped inside and pushed the button again. While the elevator was going downwards I couldn't help but hum elevator music all the way down till the door’s opened again this time showing the inside of the HQ as I stepped out of the elevator. Not even making a few steps before Amber came over the intercoms “my my commander not even a few weeks and you're carrying a girl home.”

“SHH amber she’s still sleeping also we found her in a temple in the middle of the jungle about to be tied up by a dog thing,”I whispered as quietly as I could.

“Okay commander when you’re finished with what you are doing come see me in the war room,” The AI whispered somehow before leaving me alone.

Shaking my head I walked through the HQ, making my way up the stairs, and opened the doors to the war room. I walked through the darkened room to my bedroom before setting the girl down and tucking her in. Walking into the war room as quietly as possible which lights are on now, shutting the door behind me I waited for amber to speak up.

“Commander now that we are alone I can brief you . Several hours ago snipers spotted major mobilization all across SE territory we’re talking about cannons, ships, infantry, airships everything they could muster on short notice. Most of the things are going towards the front line against the NLR but some of them are slowly moving our way. Commander if we order the snipers to neutralize the officers we can slow down the enemy forces long enough to build extra defenses and troops.”The Ai informed

“Okay tell the snipers to take the shots also send somebody to warn the NLR, make sure their armed since somebody may want our technology” I ordered

“Acknowledged commander command sent also we have a sniper and a couple of deltas in a city called fillydelphia the “capital” of the NLR should I send them a message to contact their leader.” Amber questioned.

“Yes tell them to say that the commander sent them the NLR leader will recognize it.” I answered back as I stared at the map on the wall watching as the enemy’s units started to close in on both us and the NLR.

3rd person

Snipers all across the solar empire’s land received a message from HQ stating that they have permission to target commanding officers to slow down the SE war machine. If the Solar Empire was afraid before from the liberation raids they were really afraid now. One by one officers were hunted down by the snipers, everyone from generals to lieutenants were not safe as even a single second in the open could spell death. As each bullet was fired the solar empire’s war machine slowed down buying time for the US to set up more defenses.

It was the very beginning of the evening still hours away until I have to do my duty of watching the realm of dreams. I was in a penthouse in the tallest building in fillydelphia that I commandeered when I made this city the capital of the NLR. I was doing some usual paper work when one of my personal guards ran in through the doors looking frantic.

“Your highness some humans just showed up they say they have a message for you from a person they call the commander” the frantic guard blurted out.

“The commander you say why then show them up, they are bound to have something useful.” If the Commander is who I think it is we could have something serious going on. The guard just nodded before running back outside trying to look calm but failed.

It took but a couple of minutes before the door opened yet again but this time instead of a guard it was a group of humans one female and the other five I couldn't tell as they were wearing masks and armor. The female that was carrying a large gun stepped forward while the others just stood there waiting for something to happen.

“I assume that you are the leader of this so called new lunar republic?” She questioned in a voice so cold if you poured water it freeze before you even poured.

“Yes I’m the leader of this nation you said you have a message for me from the commander?” I questioned back.

“Yes the solar empire is mobilizing large amount of troops most of them heading towards the frontlines while the rest is being sent after the commander. Don't worry too much because as we speak we are taking out the officers so that we buy time for the both of us,” She answered in the same ice cold voice before leaving with the rest of the humans out through the door.

“Well then off to the war room” I sighed before walking towards the all too familiar war room.

Pov: Eric

I was sitting in my room with two cups of tea that I freshly brewed a few minutes ago waiting for the girl to wake up, worst case scenario she doesn't wake up soon and I drink two cups of tea. Luckily I didn't have to wait too long as a groan was heard from the bed as the girl finally woke up from her slumber. The girl tried to get up but was to weak at the moment as she just fell back down.

“where am I?” the girl asked confused and probably disoriented.

“Save your strength ma’am you're still weak, here you're probably thirsty be careful though it's still warm,” I told her while handing over one of the cups.

“Err thanks wh-who are you?” She stuttered while taking small sips of the earl grey tea.

“The names Eric Michael Segura I’m the commanding officer of this base and well the other base across the sea now what's your name ma’am,” I introduced myself.

“The names Daring Do adventurer extraordinaire and well Pegasus before touching that idol,” She introduced back.

“Well I’m quite sorry about that Ms. Do but we were able to retrieve the Idol don't worry it’s in a safe place.” I assured .

“Yeah sure hey what were you doing there anyway?” she questioned.

“We were following a lead from across the ocean, over there was not only a pyramid but a shadow thing hell bent on killing everything, hell that's how I lost my arm and eyes,” I said while waving my right arm around.

“Wait a minute you lost your arm and both of your eyes and yet you went on a mission?” She seemed surprised I wonder why.

“Artificial limbs my dear hell my right arm is now stronger and now I don’t have to worry about eye degradation at all hell I might replace some other parts so I won't die as easily,” I joked, “I actually mean that.”

“You’re crazy you know that,” She deadpanned.

“Ehh you got to be a little crazy to live after all hmm have I ever told you the definition of insanity?” I had a giant grin on my face as I stood up and walked away into the war room while Daring groaned.

Next day after a several cups of coffee and a snack run

“Okay these defences should hold for a while well while we build more troops yes?”I questioned the AI as I stood over at the map looking at the lines of war and how they are inching their way towards us.

“Yes commander the automated turrets will buy us time to build more troops and in the process take some of the ponies down,” the AI informed.

“Hmm what about the docks can we build it in time?” I was quite curious if we could build the docks before the ponies engage us.

“Hmm with how slow the SE army is marching we could probably build the port and a couple of ships before they reach us, If we divert some resources from infantry and vehicles we could build the port and some ships” You could almost hear her doing the math while she talked. Almost.

“Divert the resources and build the port, I need some coffee I don’t even remember how long I’ve been up,” I said as I walked slowly towards the kitchen yearning for the liquid of the gods.

Brewing the coffee I was feeling all the sleep I missed start come back to haunt me. When the cup was finished I quickly added some sugar and cream before walking back towards the map.

“Let’s review what has happened recently we destroyed a NLR fleet, we rescued a Pegasus turned Human, we rescued appleloosa, we shot a lot of SE officers , we messaged the NLR, I had a conversation with said Pegasus turned human, and we are preparing for a full on battle… yep just a normal day here.” I finished the sentence with a sip of coffee as I just stared at the map.

Mission 6 complete
