THE FINAL BATTLE

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

During the flight to the final area, the injured soldiers finished recovering and everyone started priming every single weapon they had at their disposal. Arriving at Syknoia, the Equestrian fleet deployed all of its soldiers and the commanders boarded personal ships alongside Cadence. Mickey and his friends prepared to split up their ship so Minnie could fire her weapon safely when ready.

"Syknoians are approaching now.", reported Gallus as he picked up a signal on his radar.

“Begin separation sequence.”, Mickey instructed to his friends.

He and his friends split up and the ships started disconnecting from each other. Once they were all cleared, Minnie activated her cannon and started charging it up.

“M D D is charging.”, Minnie reported.

Everyone raised their shields and opened fire. While Minnie waited for full charge, she began shooting at the enemies with some of her other weapons. Several ships were taken out in both fleets, but the advanced weapons used by the Equestrian fleet along with Mickey and his friends gave a massive advantage. The Equestrian fleet only lost six ships and suffered minor damage, whereas the Syknoian ships were completely destroyed.

"Ten seconds until I have full charge.", said Minnie as she disengaged the safety and extended the cannon's barrels to the firing position.

She relayed her display to Cadence, who quickly responded.

"At full charge, I will count down to firing on your mark."

She didn't have long to wait. Soon, the charge indicator read 100%. At this point, it was either now or never.

"Mark!", said Minnie.

"Counting down. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.", said Cadence over the radio.

"FIRE NOW!", cried Toodles.

Minnie pulled the trigger and the cannon fired. Two bright white beams flew out and gradually got closer together as they reached the planet's surface. Prior to beginning the final battle, Mickey had sent goggles to all of the soldiers.

"GOGGLES ON, NOW!", he yelled.

Everyone put on their goggles in the nick of time. Right as Cadence put hers on, the beams were combined and had reached critical mass. The reaction burst free and spread over the surface of Syknoia, burning up everything it touched until nothing remained. Eventually, the planet was only a mass of ashes that slowly drifted apart after the reaction ended. Everyone was rendered speechless by what they were seeing. During the reaction, all of the ships were coming back together. Even Mickey was startled by the resulting effect.

"WE DID IT! YES!", Cadence finally cheered.

Everyone began cheering and clapping wildly at their victory. Once the excitement had died down, Cadence radioed the Disneystar.

"Would you all like to come to Eqqus for the final celebration of our tremendous victory?"

"Yes please.", said all of the friends at the same time.
