Chapter 2: Equestria’s warning and surrender/First Battle

Present Day
After the battle between the I-402 and Hiei, the I-401 experienced minor damage and Hiei left the battlefield and on the outer bridge of the I-401 Crest was listening to his betrayed father. With the speechless and betrayal came up in his mind and Crest said “Dad…….is that you?”

(Soundtrack for the speech: Musashi’s Theme)

Then Crimson Shouzou starts his speech worldwide, and all the Equestria Government are listening. “I’m the former Emperor of Zipang, Crimson Shouzou, I’m also the leader of the New Lunar Republic Fleet, Please listen carefully before it’s too late. We the New Lunar Republic, aim to resolve the natural crisis caused by ponies and other creatures and uphold the balance of all union existence of Equestria and other nations. Remorselessly, immature act of ponies and other creatures is destroying the environment. We also restrict your marine freedom to serve it as a warning, but you disregard the warning fight back recklessly. Ultimately we have no choice but to restrict your freedom. Now in order to attain peace, hand over your all your nations to us. Then we’ll spare Equestria and other nations from extinction, In other words surrender Equestria and other nations to us!”

Crimson Shouzou continues his speech “Withdraw all your weapons, and dissolve all nations’ governments. After that, you shall all live under our rule based on the Royalty Code, this is the most suitable solution to current situation”

After Crimson finished his speech Nightmare Moon had one more message to the world “You have one week to make your own decision, please don’t disappoint us”

Then all the communications all around Equestria speechless went back to normal including the I-401’s communication.
After the speech Crest and Bel exits the outer bridge and enters the corridor of the ship and then the sub dives and continues sailing to their destination. While Crest and Mel trotting to the inner bridge she noticed Crest’s behaviour after she saw his father’s betrayal. She asked in concern “Crest, are you ok?”

Crest stopped trotting and he turned around to look at Mel and replied “Yes I’m ok, our objective won’t change. We will continue as planned, then I’ll find the reason behind my father’s betrayal……let’s do it”

As Mel heard Crest replied to her question, she started to become more concerned and worried about him and Crest noticed her concerns and asked her “Don’t you worry”

Mel was still concerned and encouraged him “Crest, I’m dearest friend, no matter what happens to you I’m always there to support you”.
As those words hit Crest’s head he just smiled and replied to her “Thank you, Mel”. Then both Crest and Mel continued trotting to the inner bridge of the I-401 and entered the bridge. All of Crest’s friends turned around awaiting for orders.
A stallion known as Cloud Roller asked “Crest, we have been waiting for your command”

Crest replied to Cloud “Our goal hasn’t changed, we’ll find Celestia to ask her about Nightmare Moon’s return” Then everypony agreed to his orders. “But before that, we need to fix our ship’s damages”

Mel questioned Crest “How we goanna repair the ship most part of Equestria is now filled with Zipangnese ships that are controlled Nightmare Moon?”
“Let me think….” Crest replied to Mel.

As Crest contacted King Wilson through the screen and asked about the supplies for the ship and Wilson replied “I remember, one hidden base near my kingdom that belongs to you long ago” as Wilson answered Crest’s question he showed a map of the hidden base.

“Thank you once again Wilson” Crest then saluted at Wilson and Wilson saluted back and thanked him as well and then the call ended.
“Let’s sail to The Shining Kingdom, and continue our mission to find Celestia!” Crest announced.

Everypony saluted at him and all answered “Roger!”

The I-401 starts its long journey to the Shining Kingdom.
