Prologue

Six months ago, Flurry Heart assembled an army to protect Equus and its universe from Galeem, the Lord of Light. During the first battle against Galeem, Flurry’s forces were having the upper hand for a while until Galeem decided to capture the soldiers. Flurry Heart is the only one who escaped. In the process of escaping, Flurry disappeared from her own universe and ended up in another.

During this time, most of her ship’s systems were fried and her main core began to overheat. She has ended up in the universe of Disney, and her ship has crashed.

Before the crash, she jettisoned her main core into the ocean and then she avoided a total collision with Mickey Mouse’s clubhouse before abandoning ship and splashing into a lake. Unfortunately, Minnie Mouse was badly injured by accident in the ordeal when a gust of wind caused her to fall to the ground and then the clubhouse’s telescope landed on her right leg.

Both Minnie and Flurry have been taken to the hospital. What will happen when Flurry wakes up? Also, can her ship be rebuilt, and can she find a way back to her home universe to defeat Galeem?

Flurry Heart's Testimony

At the hospital, Flurry was taken to a private room and an oxygen mask was strapped over her muzzle. Minnie was taken to Radiology to have x-rays taken of her leg. Mickey requested that the hospital call them once Flurry had been discharged. Minnie’s leg fracture was serious, but not as bad as everybody feared. The x-ray revealed that her leg bones were cracked and needed to be straightened with a yank. Doctors said the fracture was not serious enough to necessitate admitting her. So, Minnie only had her leg splinted and was given crutches. At the clubhouse, she and everyone else watched Flurry’s video log to understand who Flurry Heart was and how she had arrived in their world. After handing Toodles the DVD, he put it in a player on the side of the Mousekedoer and a view of Flurry Heart in her ship’s cockpit appeared on screen.

“My name is Flurry Heart. I am the queen of the land of Equestria, one of many countries on the planet Equus. Six months ago, Equus was visited by a mysterious being named Galeem, the Lord of Light. He declared war against us because he planned to get rid of darkness and I refused. In order to defend Equus, I formed my own fleet and we engaged his soldiers in battle. My fleet was captured and I was the only one who escaped. During my escape, I passed out from g-force. I was in this world in the middle of the night when I regained consciousness. Most of my ship’s systems were out and I have to rely on sonar to see where I am going because my exterior lights are broken. If anyone is injured, I am terribly sorry.”

Mickey and his friends were floored by the recording. Nobody knew what to say.

“I can’t believe she is the only one who got away. The rest of her fleet was captured.”, Daisy finally said in a shocked voice.

Just then, the phone rang. Mickey walked over and picked it up.

“Hello.”

“Mickey, this is the hospital. Flurry Heart woke up three hours ago and we were able to take off the oxygen mask. We have checked her out and she is on her way to you now.”, said an orderly.

“Thank you much, we will expect her.”, Mickey replied before hanging up.

He told his friends what he was just told. They were all shocked. Ten minutes later, Flurry arrived at the front door and rang the bell. Mickey let her in and they shook hands. She was still wearing her space suit because it was given back after the nurses checked her out. After everyone had introduced themselves, Flurry turned to Minnie.

“I’m sorry that you broke your leg. If I hadn’t tried to avoid hitting the clubhouse, you would have been killed.”

Minnie forgave her and then Flurry began to explain what was going on.

“In order to defeat Galeem, I will need to form a fleet from as many citizens from this world as possible. However, this world is unknown to me. Is there any way you can help me out?”

“Don’t sweat it. We will help you find soldiers to help out in saving your world.”, replied Donald with confidence.

“Donald’s right; we know a lot of good individuals who would be willing to assist you.”, said Daisy.

Flurry acknowledged what she had been told and then she told Minnie something surprising.

“I can heal your leg in a flash. Hold still.”

Minnie did as Flurry requested and then Flurry held out her hoof towards her bandaged leg. Lighting her horn, Flurry whispered a few chosen words. Wisps of blue light flew from Flurry’s hoof towards Minnie and touched her leg. Minnie felt a tingling sensation and then her leg stopped feeling sore. As she started to get up, she held onto Mickey. As if a miracle had taken place, Minnie was able to stand without assistance.

“How did you do that?”, she asked Flurry out of curiosity.

“I used a healing spell.”, Flurry explained as she took off the splint.

Mickey decided that an advertisement in the news would be the easiest route to bring people together in order to form a fleet that would help Flurry fight Galeem. Flurry agreed and they worked together to make sure they covered everything that was needed for the article. After mailing the article out, Flurry told Millie and Melody that they were invited to help out as well. This excited the twins and Minnie said that when the time came to build ships, the twins would each have their own ship that would detach from hers. Millie and Melody agreed with their aunt’s decision. Daisy even invited her and Minnie’s best friend, Cuckoo Loca, to join the action as well. Professor Von Drake arrived at the door and explained that some pieces of Flurry’s ship were still usable and just needed to be repaired. Flurry pulled out a tracker and said that the signal it was showing indicated the location of her ship’s main power source.

Recruitment

The next morning, two helicopters were dispatched to retrieve the power core to Flurry Heart’s ship from the ocean. The pieces that were saved were taken to an aircraft hangar to be rebuilt from following the blueprints that Flurry had brought with her. As the Light of Hope was being rebuilt, several letters came in at the clubhouse.

These letters were from multiple applicants that had read the advertisement for soldiers to help Flurry defeat Galeem. Among them were Aladdin, Jasmine, Genie, Ariel, Eric, Lady, Tramp, Hercules, Belle, Cogsworth, Lumiere, Beast, Peter Pan, Tigger, Christopher Robin, Snow White, Aurora, Flora, Fauna, Merryweather, Jafar, Hades, Maleficent, Cruella, Captain Hook, and several other villains who had chosen to cast aside their evil deeds and fight for balance in the universe.

Flurry Heart wrote a single reply letter and used a spell to send it magically to all of the applicants.

**

Dear Applicant,

I have read your application and have given it full approval. You are hereby accepted with full privileges to join the fleet that is being assembled to help me defeat Galeem and his forces. Flight training begins in two weeks and all ships will be customized to your own liking.

Sincerely,

Flurry Heart

Flurry began looking at maps to determine the best area from which to launch rockets for assembling the flagship for the new fleet. Within four days, she finally located a large expanse in the middle of an uninhabited area on land, and a faraway spot in the ocean at which to construct a launchpad. An underground hangar was built on land for the main base and the launchpad in the ocean was formulated for shuttle launches. As the flagship was being built, the flight training started and everybody was briefed on the best plans of attack for taking down Galeem’s forces. Asking questions was not necessary and the personal ships were constructed quickly. The flagship’s construction was completed after seven months. Once the main base was complete, all personal ships were stowed on board in areas where each pilot could get to it safely and quickly.

The Disney Fleet

Once the main base was ready for launch, all of the members got together and decided to call themselves the Disney Fleet. Thus, the base was christened the Disney Space Station (D S S). Flurry had even shared the blueprints for a star core with everyone and all of the ships had one.

Mickey and his friends were chosen as the leaders. Pete, Clarabelle, Chip, and Dale were selected to work as signalers in the launch bay. In total, four shuttles were built. Each of these shuttles was designed to carry twelve soldiers. The procedure was such that a shuttle would return after each group of soldiers had boarded the D S S.

After confirming that all systems were go, the launch engines were fired and the D S S lifted off from her hangar and slowly travelled higher and higher until she was in orbit around the globe.

Return to Equus

The Disney Fleet was split up in four squadrons: Red, Blue, Orange, and Pink. Flurry Heart was Gold Leader. As the fleet was deployed, she called out to them as the four squadrons formed up by color.

“All fighters, report in.”, she said.

“Red Leader, standing by.”, said Mickey.

"Blue Leader, standing by.”, said Donald.

“Orange Leader, standing by.”, said Goofy.

“Pink Leader, standing by.”, said Daisy.

“This is Red Two. The twins are ready for action.”, said Minnie.

Hearing all of the clarifications told Flurry that everyone was ready. She aimed herself in the direction of the portal and the fleet formed up behind her.

“Here we go. In 3, 2, 1, MARK!”, Flurry cried as she fired her engines.

Her ship zoomed in the direction of the portal and everyone else followed suit. Once they got close to the portal, a notification popped up on their displays.

*Approaching dimensional portal. Prepare for g-force. *

The ships passed through the portal’s membrane and instantly sped up. Some of the pilots were pulled back in their seats because the force was stronger than they expected. Eventually, they emerged near the asteroid belt in Equus’ solar system. They were pointed towards Equus when they emerged.

“Lock S-foils in attack position.”, said Flurry as she opened her wings.

“Copy, Gold Leader.”, replied all of the leaders as all of the fighters opened their wings.

On Galeem’s flagship…

“Sir, I have spotted Flurry Heart’s ship. She is emerging near the asteroid belt and has brought a ton of new pilots with her. These fighters are like nothing I’ve never seen before.”, reported one of the high commanders.

Galeem acknowledged what he was told and ordered his forces to prepare for battle.

Preparing for War

After the D S S was launched into space, everyone started boarding shuttles. Everyone was on board after three weeks-worth of constant launches. Combat training simulations were started and everyone got acclimated to their ships’ controls, squads learned how to form up, individuals learned which weapons to use in certain scenarios, and everyone was taught how to properly communicate with their comrades. Combat training was completed in two months and Mickey was contacted to let him and his friends know that everyone was ready. After getting word of this, he radioed Flurry Heart and relayed the message to her. Once Mickey and his friends had informed Flurry Heart that everyone was ready, they boarded their own shuttle. Once Toodles had plugged himself into the main console, the shuttle lifted off and headed for the D S S . Flurry boarded her ship and took off for space at the same time. Once she was in position, she called to the Disney Fleet.

“Disney Fleet, this is Flurry Heart. This is what we have been training for over the last nine months. You may begin deployment when ready. It is time for the real deal. Set star drives to maximum warp and follow me. I have located the portal that brought me here from my own universe. According to my data, we have to be going extremely fast in order to traverse the portal successfully.”

The fleet radioed back and stated that they understood what she had told them all. Flurry took a deep breath and then charged up her star core as the fleet began deploying from the space station. She was about to return to her home universe and thwart Galeem’s plan to destroy darkness. The fleet called out to her once their star drives were charged and set to maximum.
