The Syknoian War: Part Two

After the second battle was won, Cadence began supplying Mickey and his friends with some of the extra weapons that the Equestrian fleet had in storage. As the injured soldiers were being treated, Ocellus radioed in to speak with Cadence.

"Your Majesty, my sister, Coccyx, has located the third squadron's base. It is not a planet. The third squadron is based inside a Dyson sphere. This is a giant metal shell constructed around a star that harnesses all of the star's energy to power the systems."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, even Mickey and his friends were floored. Regardless of the surprising news, they warped to the sphere and deployed more pilots than they had used for the previous two battles. A scan over the sphere indicated that there was a heat shield to protect the interior surface from the star's heat. This find gave both Silverstream and Gallus an idea.

"If we find the main circuitry for the heat shield and disable it, the heat will cause the sphere to blow up and the Syknoians will die in the vacuum of space."

Cadence approved the plan and the battle began. There were at least six million Syknoians on board the Dyson sphere, and half of them came out on ships to defend the structure.

"OPEN FIRE!", Cadence screamed over the radio.

Blasts erupted from every single ship. Mickey had even split up the Disneystar and he and his friends took a more direct attack run to help the fleet. This was the perfect time to test out their new armaments. They were about to have their minds blown.

"I am shocked at how powerful these frozen bullets are. They freeze the enemy ships in the blink of an eye.", Toodles said in amazement as Mickey fired them.

"I have never seen blades that can be shot like bullets from a rifle. These cut through the hulls like a hot knife through butter.", screeched Minnie excitedly.

"I love these laser lances. Each one fires six blasts at the same time, meaning I can shoot twelve shots altogether.", laughed Goofy.

"These acid globes are incredible. They melt through the enemy ships with ease.", quacked Donald.

"These smash waves are amazing. They are enough to shear the enemy ships in half.", said Daisy.

Once the Syknoians protecting the Dyson Sphere had been taken out, it was high time for the sphere to be destroyed. One of Smolder's soldiers was unable to fly back and decided to make a sacrifice.

"Commander, My ship does not have enough stability to safely make it back to the main ship. I am above the main circuitry for the heat shield right now and will dive down into it."

"Understood, Agent Onyx.", replied Smolder.

Onyx grabbed her yoke and tipped her ship into a steep dive towards the cover that protected the sensitive components in the circuitry. Laser shots broke out to slow her down, but Mickey and his friends intervened to give Onyx her chance. When she impacted, the explosion blew the cover wide open. Exposed to the vacuum of space, the capacitors and resistors shattered and the circuitry shorted out. Without the heat shield working to protect the interior, the Dyson Sphere began to overheat and it soon exploded away from the star. The Syknoians' screams of pain could be heard even though they were in a vacuum and the ships had all of their hatches closed. The third squadron had been bested and it was time to end the war once and for all. As the Disneystar was reassembled, Cadence radioed Minnie.

"You said that you were trained to fire a weapon that could be useful in the final stage of this war. Am I right?"

"You heard me correctly.", Minnie replied.

"What's the easiest way to demonstrate how it works?", Cadence inquired.

"Brandon had installed transporters on the ships when they were built. I can beam over with a recorded simulation of how this weapon works."

Cadence said that would be great and had all of the main commanders meet in her quarters.
