The War Begins

As Equus’ fleet began to charge at the Light Fleet, Galeem released his soldiers. Both fleets opened fire at the same time. Galeem was shocked by how well the Harmony Fleet was sticking together and their weapons were like nothing he had ever seen before. He was going against a fleet that was organized and knew how to engage in combat when faced with any type of enemy.

In the beginning, Equus had the upper hand. They drove Galeem’s forces back and came close to engaging his main ship. However, Galeem’s ability to crank out soldiers was something that the Harmony Fleet did not expect. Whenever coming close to the main ship, a defense squadron would emerge and drive them back.

After battling for two and a half hours, Galeem knew that he would have to use the same tactic he had used in the past. He called out to his soldiers and ordered them to switch from attack mode to capture mode. All of his forces acknowledged and condensed back at his ship. They were ready to end the battle right away and force Flurry Heart to surrender.

A Rough Landing for Flurry

When Flurry awoke, she could not see anything outside her ship’s cockpit, except for lights in the distance. She looked at her ship’s status, and her heart sank, because most of her controls were fried. She was above ground on a planet, but her engines were glowing orange and had burst into flames. Looking at a GPS indicated that she was over an ocean, but she did not know where. To make matters worse, the star core was overheating and could explode if she had to make an emergency landing, which would kill her. Switching to emergency battery power, she jettisoned the star core and it splashed into the water. Most of her systems were dead and the exterior lights had melted. She switched to sonar in order to see. She also recorded a video log in case she was rescued and was unable to respond.

At a structure that consisted of a red hemisphere, and a black sphere with two smaller spheres for ears, Mickey Mouse and his friends, along with Minnie’s twin nieces, Millie and Melody, were stargazing outside. Minnie was using the telescope to look at the moon. Suddenly, Professor Ludwig Von Drake threw the front door open.

“GET INSIDE! HURRY!”, he yelled.

Mickey and his friends ran inside and Minnie tried to get the lift to take her back down. Unfortunately, the lift jammed and Minnie was trapped near the top of the large sphere.

“Professor, what’s going on?”, asked Mickey.

“I have spotted something coming towards us at a high speed. It could crash into the clubhouse.”, explained the Professor.

“The lift is jammed. I’m trapped out here.”, cried Minnie.

“DUCK AND COVER, MINNIE!”, yelled Von Drake.

Minnie leaned forward and covered her head with her hands.

In her cockpit, Flurry saw a collision alert come up. She saw the outline of the clubhouse, but her yoke was stuck. Pulling with all of her might, she yanked the yoke back and went into a steep climb. She managed to get between the smaller spheres, but her wings struck the spheres and were torn off. Her left wing hit what looked like a telescope. Unable to turn anymore, she glided helplessly over the woods and then spotted a lake. She unfastened her seatbelt and got into the escape capsule. The capsule was launched and the parachutes slowed her down until she splashed into the lake. After splashdown, four orange floats inflated and held her capsule on the surface in case the hatch was opened. What was left of her ship crashed in the forest and started a fire. Upon crashing into the structure, a piece of shrapnel from Flurry’s console exploding hit her in the head before she closed her helmet, which left her dizzy. She passed out two minutes after splashdown.

When Flurry’s ship impacted with the top of the clubhouse, her ship’s speed created a gust of wind that yanked Minnie out of the tram car that lifted her to the telescope. She screamed as she fell to the ground and landed on her face with a *THUD*. Luckily, she had landed in her flower garden, so she did not end up with a nosebleed. As she rolled over to stand up, everyone heard the sound of metal snapping.

“Aunt Minnie, LOOK OUT!”, shrieked Melody.

Mickey couldn’t watch and covered his eyes. The telescope had broken loose from its mount and was falling to the ground. Before Minnie had a chance to stand up, it landed hard on her lower right leg.

“YAAAAAAAH!”, she screamed in pain.

As she tried to sit up, tears welled up in her eyes and she began to cry in pain. Mickey and Goofy ran outside with Minnie’s nieces following close behind. As Mickey and Goofy tried to lift the telescope, Millie and Melody rushed over to try to pull Minnie out.

“Are you alright, Aunt Minnie?”, Millie asked.

“No girls, I think my leg’s broken.”, she choked out between sniffles.

Mickey and Goofy struggled with all of their might, but the telescope was too heavy and wouldn’t budge. Donald ran out to see if he could help.

“Get the car jack out of the garage. We can use that to lift the telescope.”, said Goofy.

Donald nodded his head and opened the garage door. After getting the jack and placing it under the end of the telescope, he started cranking it up while Goofy made sure it was not going to slip off. Mickey called 911 for an ambulance while firefighters attacked the fire from Flurry’s ship exploding.

Prologue

Flurry Heart has just been crowned Queen of Equestria. She made a decree to bring the world into the 21st Century and approved a plan by some scientists to begin space exploration. During the most recent space mission, the crew was destroyed by a mysterious entity that later identified itself to Flurry as Galeem: the Lord of Light. Appalled by Galeem’s plan to eliminate darkness from the universe, Flurry told him that balance would be destroyed if he takes out darkness. Refusing to accept Flurry’s claim, Galeem has decided to declare war on Equus and go forth with his plans The war is about to begin. Who will be victorious?

Assembling the Harmony Fleet

After Galeem returned to space to assemble his army, Flurry Heart wasted no time to start assembling her own army. She assigned the Young Six to be over each branch of the army, which they named the “Harmony Fleet”. Over the course of six months, soldiers were trained, ships were built, and weapons were designed in order to neutralize Galeem’s forces. Eventually, the time had come to defend the universe from the Light Fleet. All of the soldiers in the Harmony Fleet boarded their respective command ships and launched into orbit. Flurry Heart built her own ship, which she named the Light of Hope. This ship had weapons from all six branches wrapped into one and served as the main command ship over the entire fleet.

“All leaders, report in.”, she called over her headset.

“Sandbar, standing by.”, replied Sandbar.

“Yona, standing by.”, replied Yona.

“Ocellus, standing by.”, replied Ocellus.

“Smolder, standing by.”, replied Smolder.

“Gallus, standing by.”, replied Gallus.

“Silverstream, standing by.”, replied Silverstream.

As all six command ships began deploying their single fighters, Flurry gave orders to prepare for battle.

“Lock S-foils in attack position and accelerate to attack speed.”, instructed Flurry as she opened her wings.

All of the single fighters began opening their wings and then accelerated to attack speed. It was now or never.

Capture of the Harmony Fleet

As Galeem’s soldiers condensed back together, Flurry had a vision of both Celestia and Twilight warning her that trouble was coming and that the shields had to go up. Realizing this, she called out to the fleet.

“All pilots, raise shields and take evasive action. Go to defense position. I don’t know what Galeem is planning, but it cannot be good. We mustn’t allow him to take our universe.”

Galeem saw what was going on and released his fury attack. This consisted of multiple beams of light which acted like guided missiles, chasing each and every ship in the Harmony Fleet. If a ship got hit by one of these beams, it would be vaporized and teleported into the prisoner hold of Galeem’s main ship, the Light Master. Most of the Harmony Fleet fought back, which raised their possibilities of being taken. Others tried to avoid the beams but they still got caught. Suddenly, One of Galeem’s top soldiers reported something that was not expected.

“Sir, Flurry Heart’s shield percentage is climbing. Our weaponry is having very little effect. Also, the main core of her ship is charging up.”

Just then, a call from Flurry herself came in.

“You may have taken the fleet that I spent six months training, but I am not done. I will get them back from you and the victory will not be yours to have.”

Flurry Heart's Daring Escape

Galeem was not pleased to hear what Flurry had to say and took it as a threat. Boarding his personal ship, the Starstriker, he joined the battle and fired powerful beams to take out Flurry’s shields. His beams began drilling into the shields as her star drive reached maximum level. She fired the engines and shot through space at speeds faster than light. Galeem’s soldiers gave pursuit, but Flurry went so fast that she vanished completely. Galeem was enraged when he received word that Flurry was gone.

Flurry ended up going so fast that she pierced through the fabric of space itself. She found herself flying through what seemed to be a tunnel of flashing colors and her speeds were off the scale. She soon passed out from the massive amount of g-force.

Rescued

Once the telescope was lifted enough, Millie and Melody grabbed Minnie’s arms and pulled her backwards until she was clear. After lowering the telescope back down, Mickey and Donald grabbed flashlights and followed the smoke trail until they reached the lake while the ambulance arrived to take Minnie to the hospital. Reaching the lake, Mickey spotted the orange floats on Flurry’s escape pod and he got into a rowboat. Joining Pete on the water, they attached towlines to the capsule and pulled it to the shore before working together to get it onto dry land. Peering through the hatch window, Donald saw what looked like a winged unicorn in a space suit. After opening the latches and depressurizing the capsule, they opened the hatch, unfastened the seatbelt, and pulled Flurry out. They opened her helmet and grabbed the video log DVD from within her hooves. After Mickey confirmed she was only unconscious, Donald called a second ambulance to take Flurry to the hospital. He and Mickey had taken note of her name tag and were ready to talk to her once she had woken up.
