Twilight's Travels In The Multiverse

Twilight sighed, it had been five years since she had gained the Caitians as a worshipers, and with each answered prayer, and every new follower she felt her powers swell. Honestly it unnerved her, just how far her religion had spread, granted it was better that they worshiped her as a goddess of life, fertility, and harmony, instead of death. Though that didn’t stop some Caitians, specifically those that had seen her fights to view her as a goddess of war as well. Though she did get a chuckle out of the sight of a pouting Csia being inducted as her priestess.

“Captain, We’ve received a distress signal from a ferengi merchant ship, they say they are under attack by a romulan d'deridex!” Ensign Keys called from the ops console.

“Helm lay in a course, Ops shields to maximum, red alert, warp nine engage!” Twilight ordered, watching as everyone carried out her orders, flashing red lights filled the bridge as the alarms blasted through the ship, “engineering, prepare to transport the crew of the ferengi crew, helmsman prepare to lay in an escape vector as soon as we have them. Security prepare to send a boarding party aboard the ferengi ship, and prepare for possible boarding parties.”

Twilight sat down in the captain’s chair and waited for the ship to leave warp, the ship exited warp, “on screen, hail the Romulan war bird.”

Frowning Twilight stood up, and moved forward to the center of the bridge, “The Romulans are on screen, Captain, channel open.” ops called again.

“Unknown Romulan vessel, I am Captain Troi of the Federation star ship USS Trainer, cease this unprovoked attack on the ferengi vessel!”

A Female Romulan with a brown short bob haircut appeared on the view screen, “I am Commander Purres of the Nerix, you are brave to demand anything of me Captain. This scum tried to cheat us, and we shall exact our vengeance. Interfere and we shall not hesitate to destroy you and you pathetic crew!” The view screen returned to normal as the romulan ship resumed fire on the ferengi ship, Twilight scowled at the sight, “All hands battle stations, target the Romulan ship! Draw it’s fire! Ready photon torpedoes, and fire at will!”

“Helmsman evasive maneuvers! But remain within transporter range of the ferengi vessel.”

“Aye! Aye! Captain!” the bridge officers called out as they did as she ordered, The USS Trainer circled the Romulan war bird firing phasers every second as it passed hitting it’s shields, first firing it’s fore and aft phasers, “the romulan ship’s locked on to us Captain and charging it’s disruptors.”

The ship circled the war bird, constantly striking their shields. The war bird's disruptors returned fire shaking the ship and fired on the Ferengi vessel.
“Captain! We have new ships incoming, they are Romulan!” Ops called out

“Damn! Hail the ferengi vessel,”

“What do you want!? we are kinda busy here!” An irritable ferengi appeared on the ship view screen, “Ferengi vessel this is the federation star ship Trainer, prepare your crew to be transported,”

“What!? and leave my latinum!” Twilight rolled her eyes, “Ops Locate their latinum and send it to the transporter room alongside the crews coordinates!”

“Captain! Their forward shields are down!”

“Fire photon torpedoes narrow spread!” Twilight ordered, throwing her hand forwards as she did so. Four orange glowing bolts flew out and struck the beak of the war bird, explosions erupted cascading down the fore of the Romulan ship, the ship cloaked.

“Captain they have cloaked and we’ve lost our lock, now would be the time to transport the crew of the ferengi ship!”

“The ferengi shields are down, beaming them aboard. The ferengi, their cargo and latinum have been brought on board!”

As the ops ensign called out two more d'deridex warbirds dropped out of warp,” Helmsman set a course to the escape vector and warp out!”

“Sir the Romulans are firing on us, shields are down to twenty percent!”

Twilight growled, and pushed her magic out around the ship to form a shield over the ships, “I’ll hold them back somebody get a shield battery and use it!” a barrage of fire struck Twilight’s shield, the shield cracked, causing Twilight to wince, but held, Twilight pushed more magic into it, repairing it. Sweat began to fall down her brow as she tanked the hits.

“Shields at thirty percent, still no battery Captain,”

Another salvo struck Twilight's shields as the ship made for it’s escape vector.
She was visible shaking now as she held, sweat drenching her clothes. The first ship decloaked and joined it’s brothers.

“Shields at fifty percent Captain!” Ops called out as his fingers danced on his console.

“My shield won't last much longer hurry up!” Twilight demanded, she was now panting, blood leaking from her left eye. As even more ships showed up, and began firing.

The next salvo, caused her to cough up blood, and fall to her knees as she took prolonged fire.

“Eighty percent! No ninety! They found a shield battery!”

“Finally!” Twilight murmured, the fire had let up but what the helmsman said next chilled Twilight to the core.

“Another pair of warships have arrived and they are all charging their weapons at the same time! We’re almost aligned with the escape vector!”

Twilight braced herself and thickened her shield as much as she could, the disruptors fired and hit her shield shattering it, Twilight was launched backwards into her chair, coughing up more blood, “Shields back down to forty percent!”

“Twenty percent!”

Twilight winced and stood up, she brought her magic to bare again and shielded the ship.

The next attack shattered her shield again her pupils shrunk as she cried out in pain, blood from her mouth launched to the floor as she fell to her knees

“Course laid in and aligned ready to warp,”

“Engage ensign!” her second in command ordered. As they warped out the bridge faded away as several officers entered the room alongside superintendent Brand.

“Bravo Cadet Troi! You’ll make a fine bridge officer!” Brand praised she was clapping her hands, while the officers behind her looked shell shocked, “Superintendent!? What on earth was that!? Where did that shield come from!?” one of the officers managed to exclaim.

“Troi, A demonstration?”

“Apologies, Superintendent it won’t be as impressive,”

Twilight right arm shook as she lifted it, a flickering glow enveloped her hand and projected a shield in front of her.

The assembled bridge officers gaped, Csia burst in deftly dodging through the officers and grabbing Twilight who was on the verge of collapsing.

Csia’s hand glowed with her pastel pink magic and started healing Twilight up.

“Wait how many people can do what Cadet Troi did?”

“Oh so far, only her class and her mate before us.”

“Csia, I am fine dear, I just need a rest, and a lot of chocolate,” she said groping Csia’s butt, whom rolled her eyes but smirked in response.

“Yeah you’re fine if you can afford to be perverted,”

“No amount of tiredness and low mana will stop me from enjoying my kawaii koneko(cute kitten).” Twilight said as she continued to hold Csia causing her to blush.

Csia recovered and smirked, then said, “Well then it’s your turn to cook,”

Twilight chuckled and gave Csia a kiss, “I enjoy cooking for you anyway dear,”

Brand cleared her throat, “ Oh don’t mind us, Cadet’s Sh’ala and Troi,” her lips contorted into a large smirk, that threatened to become a full on grin. “Cadet Sh’ala take Cadet Troi to sickbay. Or the cafeteria. You both graduate with honors in two days time, so take the time to relax and enjoy yourselves, I am sure by the time the exam board unfreezes they should be ready to mark you.”
