The Syknoian War: Part One

All of the ships set a course for the next battle site and jumped to warp speed. They arrived in exactly one hour but did not expect this planet to be armored. Cadence asked the commanders if they had any ideas, but they were not sure. Smolder asked Mickey if he had an idea, and he said yes. He opened a channel to the fleet and expressed his plan for helping to take down the squadron.

"We might have different armaments than you do, but we have a missile that can destroy stars. If we shoot one into the sun, it will create a shockwave that will destroy the planet."

Everyone was in favor of the plan. Mickey switched Daisy over and she explained the procedure for using this weapon.

"There is a lock code that must be entered in order to fire one of these missiles. After that, Donald and I have to turn two keys. The keys are far apart and spring loaded, thus making it impossible for one to carry out the launch. In order to be done correctly, the keys need to be turned within two seconds of each other and held. We will begin prepping the missile, but you need to protect us until we are ready."

Everybody acknowledged and the pilots were deployed. Half of them engaged the Syknoians while the others surrounded the Disneystar. The target was set after the missile was two-thirds ready for firing. During the quell, many of the Equestrian ships were damaged and three more were destroyed, but they continued to shoot and take out more of the Syknoians. At long last, the missile was ready. As Second-in-Command, Minnie radioed in with directions on the firing procedure.

"Princess Cadence, this is Minnie Mouse. When you are ready, give Daisy and Donald a "3, 2, 1, Turn Keys". They are the ones who are trained to fire this weapon. I am trained for another weapon that may be useful in the final battle."

Cadence acknowledged and Mickey relayed a visual from the main display screen on the Disneystar. When she saw that everything was ready, she spoke.

"THREE, TWO, ONE, TURN KEYS!", she shouted.

Daisy turned her key and then Donald turned his key one second later. The indicator lights came on to show that the missile was armed. One light read "Barrel Soft". This light was triggered by the muzzle door opening and breaking laser beams. At the same time, a loud bell rang. This bell was the firing alarm.

"You may release.", said Mickey after the firing alarm sounded.

Once the missile had cleared the barrel, Cadence gave an instant order to clear the area. She did so because the display screen showed a warning that any ships in the area would be torn apart. Once everyone had cleared out, the Syknoians thought that the missile had misfired and that they had won. However, they could not have been more wrong.

The missile reached the core of the sun and exploded, which destabilized the star. As the star itself exploded, a shockwave was released that tore the planet to shreds and killed everyone that was hit by it. At this point, there were only two battles left. First, they would take on one more squadron, and then they would take on the heart of the fleet over the Syknoians' home planet.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Two squadrons have been obliterated. Eqqus has suffered minor losses in its fleet. Things are looking up for them with Mickey and his friends on their side. However, the third squadron and the battle over the Syknoians' home world will be the most intense.
