The soldiers boarded their ships and flew into the battlefield. Opening fire, they started to gain a tactical advantage against the Syknoians. Laser blasts erupted and tore the enemy ships to pieces and many Syknoian pilots were killed by the vacuum of space. Blood splattered the ships but quickly froze and flaked off. After thirty minutes of fighting, the enemies raised their shields and intensified their firepower.

"All pilots, take evasive actions and charge up your shield rippers. We will not allow those aliens to destroy us!", Cadence ordered.

Everybody complied and started using a special device to enable their weapons to penetrate the enemy shields. As more and more enemies were sent to their deaths, Gallus received word from one of his pilots that they had figured out a way to make the Syknoians take out each other.

"Commander, I have figured out a way to scramble their radio contact. If I broadcast a loud and distractive noise, they won't be able to communicate. This has potential of making them crash into each other."

"Good work, Agent Black.", Gallus replied.

He relayed the message to Cadence and the other five. They were in favor of the plan. As the agent prepared for the move, six ships were shot down. In retaliation, Cadence spoke sternly over the radio.

"Let's make some noise."

Loud music blared from the speakers and the Syknoian pilots began to fly out of control. They slammed into each other in a mass of explosions until no ships remained on the planet's surface. However, there were still eggs and young hatchlings alive down there. So, Cadence gave the "All-Clear" for the command ships to destroy the planet. They deployed large laser cannons and charged them to full power while aiming at the planet.

"IN THREE, TWO, ONE, NOW!", Cadence screamed as the pilots returned.

Beams flew and struck the surface of the planet. The first three blasts destroyed the vegetation and made it hard for the aliens to breathe. The fourth and fifth reduced the aliens to ashes, and the sixth blast vaporized the planet completely. However, one Syknoian captain had managed to get word to the other squadrons that Eqqus' army was more powerful than they anticipated. The squadrons took that as a cue to bring out all of their assets.

"Princess Cadence, we might be able to surprise them if we call in some allies.", Smolder reported.

Cadence agreed and opened a channel to Mickey and his friends.
