Battle of Lexington
Exploring 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI finally got to the land. I waited for the rest of my planes to land and got on the shore. I followed the shore to the city. While on the shore my deck didn't disappear, it was still on my back. ‘Huh, I thought that my deck would disappear. I also expected pain from going on land, Because of me being part ship. Now that I'm thinking about being part aircraft carrier. Reminds me of a couple games I used to play carrier command 2 and aircraft carrier survival. Was fun to play lots of strategy.’
When I got to the city, it was covered in fog and no pony was around. The buildings were destroyed and in a terrible condition falling apart and crumbling from time. The air filled with the smell of gunpowder and iron. I trot Forward hoping to find out what happened here and hopefully find someone to talk to.
“EO see anything on the radar… this place is giving me the creeps, what do you think EO?”
(“Hey”) ([“This place is giving me the creeps too. nothing on the radar yet.”])
I continue walking forward and make my way to the biggest building in the city. When I entered the building it turned out to be the mayor's office. I go to the back of the mayor’s office to see what's happened to this city. and hopefully find out what happened in the city records. Should give me the last event of the city. I find a file cabinet and I go through the files to the most recent file. Once I have the file I see something shining at the bottom of the file cabinet. I removed all the other files to find, four gold bars, a steel bar, and a bar of copper. I check the rest of the cabinets and find six bars of aluminum.
‘I hope these will be useful.’
I brought that file and all of the bars of metals to a table out front and opened the file to see that the City was celebrating the Sea Festival. The sea Festival was in the year 200 after Nightmare Moon. “hey EO it says here that they were doing something near the docks outside. they were also doing something in a shopping district that's all the paper has. At least that's somewhere to start, right EO.”
‘I don't know why but it felt like my EO gave me a nod…’ with a shake of my head to get rid of the weirdness of that feeling. With that shake I get back to business. with the two bits of information the paper has that might be important. I grab the paper and set the paper and bars on my deck. Hopefully my EO will be able to copy this paper or store it in a hangar bay.
“Hey EO can you copy that down or store that paper and the bars of metals somehow?”
(“Hey”) ([“Yes sir I can copy the paper. It will take a minute to store the metals.”])
With that said I go back outside to see if I can find anything else in the shopping district. When I get to the shopping district I see a couple stalls with rotting food and broken merchandise. The Stalls look like they've been there for years. I went up to the most destroyed stall and in front of the stall were masks. I see The mask with the most detail was in front of the stall on the floor. The mask is a dark mask with red carvings on it. The carvings are triangles facing towards the center of the Mask almost glowing and pulsing with their color of red on the black of the Mask.
“Hey EO can you please send a plane to see this place a little higher up. Hopefully we can get something from a different point of view.”
(“Hey.”) ([“Yes I can do that Fox.”])
A fighter airplane goes up onto my deck and takes off and looks at the city from above. After about 10 minutes my plane then lands after circling around a couple times in its tiny form. Once the fighter lands I get the information on how the city looks. or at least the shopping district looks like it was bombed and there's many craters that are hard to tell thro the fog. I look closer at the ground to see if that report is correct. On the ground there's many small little craters. I walk up to one of the craters and look inside and see a little brass casing at the bottom. blood surrounded the crater. I looked up and looked at the other craters to see that most of them had blood near or around the craters. I go back to the crater with the shell and look closer at the shell. The casing looked like how one of my plane's bullets would after hitting the ground after being shot. On the casing there's some kind of green blackish liquid oozing from the shell. I pick up the shell to get a better look and when I touch the liquid on the shell. With a “Hisssss” my hoof starts to burn with excruciating pain. I quickly dropped the shell. “oww.” I look at my hoof and see that the red paint is gone and my hoof is moderately bleeding. I cringe when I look at the wound. I'm freaked out from what the liquid did to my coat and hoof that is made of steel, and quickly leave to investigate the docks and to find anything else.
“Something really bad happened here.”
When I get to the docks I see that they are destroyed with burnt wood floating in the water. The edge of the docks leading to the water was covered in red. I went to the edge of the dock to get a better look. When I looked into the water I noticed… that the water near the dock was the same color of liquid from that shell. Little did I know that BB came up on the elevator at that time and was looking over my shoulder hoping to talk with me. In the liquid there were some stark white bones and a pony skull floating, with a green glow to them. I look closer to see the bones move and the pony skull jerks and looks directly at me and screams a blood curdling scream. I quickly aim my secondaries at the monster and fire and keep firing until I can't see it or hear it screaming anymore. Then I quickly back away from the destroyed and burnt dock disturbed. I leave the city to get a bit of a better look and to hopefully get some distance from whatever that thing was.
On my way out of the city I stumbled upon a sign that said: ‘Welcome to sea froth city!’ with the welcome crossed out. I headed a little ways further away from the city out of the fog to launch more planes safely out of range of whatever that thing was, and to be safe if there were more. But once I leave the city the city disappears like it was never there in the first place. In the place where the city was is a grassy meadow leading up to a cliff Edge that goes directly into the Sea. I asked for my planes to take off again and see if there is anything there from above while the elevator goes down to get the planes BB sneaks back in and goes to his hangar bay and starts to cry, scared by what he's seen. once my planes return there's nothing there like it never existed. I shiver because of the unnaturalness of this.
“That was creepy and disturbing EO. what do you think?”
(“Hey Hey.”) ([“Yeah that was quite something I'm just glad BB wasn't awake. BB was away I think I'm going to go check on him.”]) EO walks to BB's Hangar Bay. EO opens the door to BB hanger bay to see BB curled up into a ball shivering and crying.
“go away!”
([“it's okay BB. would you want to talk to Fox spirit.-”])
“No, leave me alone.” Says BB with his hooves over his face still shivering.
([“Talking to Fox Spirit will help you feel better BB. Come on, let's go and talk to Fox Spirit.”]) says EO with a pleading expression. BB looks over to EO and sees his expression and caves in.
“Ok.” EO brings BB to the elevator.
I look over my shoulder to see the elevator coming up with BB on it shivering. Are you okay BB I asked worried for BB.
“y-yeah I'm f-f-fine," says BB.
‘You're obviously not. your shivering and stuttering.’ Was my concerned thought for BB. with the best gentle face I can manage, I ask. “you want a hug, that place was quite scary. I've heard that hugs can help when you're scared.”
“Yeah”
I grabbed BB off my back and brought him up to my front and gave him a hug with my two front legs for a minute.
“Feeling better?”
“yeah I'm ready to go back to my hanger bay now.”
“Okay see you later BB.” I grab BB and stick him back onto the elevator and send the elevator down once the elevator is down and BB is back in his hanger Bay I ask EO.
“EO please keep an eye on BB for me and make sure he's ok. I worry for him. If he saw that skeleton move it could have traumatized him.”
(“Hey.”) ([“ok I will.”]) With that said I moved to the middle of the meadow to see if the city was anywhere to be seen. but there was nothing there so the city which was named sea froth was just gone like the wind on the sea. I sat there with wide eyes just staring at where the city was.
'how does a city just disappear, How? Just how? And what happened in that city there was so much blood. But there were no body’s. Where were the body’s? Were they turned into whatever that thing was?' At this point I start to have a panic attack. After about 30 minutes of panicking I calmed down enough to start thinking clearly. EO were leaving. I don't want to be a part of whatever happened here.
(“Hey”) ([“yes Fox, Maybe that's for the best.”]) With that I continue my way inland towards a forest.
When I get to the forest it gives me an unnerving feeling. I continue my way into the forest knowing full well that I won't be able to use my planes here. Hey EO can you have the secondary's ready.
(“Hey”) ([“Yes sir I can have them ready”]) With that said to my EO I head into the forest curious on what I might see and hopefully that I can find people. Well I'm walking through the forest. I asked my EO if there was any other abilities I might possess from being half ship and half pony.
(“Hey”) ([“Yes indeed you do have other abilities I think I think you have the ability to take direct control of your aircraft.-”])
“Cool, it makes my skills in a game I used to play that much more useful. hey EO how's the crew? Are they doing well with all this stuff going on? I haven't been really thinking about them cuz I've been focusing on getting a repair and resupply.”
(“Hey”) ([“Everyone's good we need more food we're starting to ration it the food we have in Supply. You keep going, you're doing good so far. I know you weren't always an aircraft carrier or at least part of an aircraft carrier. You're probably doing better than some pony else.”])
“Yeah Dad you're doing really well under the circumstances you've been given.”
During my walk through the forest my hoof finally stopped bleeding. I'm looking for something to cover it when I come across some runes, a giant castle that's caving into itself. Hey EO doesn't this castle look a lot like the castle of the two sisters from My Little Pony Gen 4?
(“Hey”) ([“Yeah it does look suspiciously like it.”]) That's when all the dots connected for me. Castle of the Two Sisters, Pony body, weird creepy Forest.
“I'm in My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic the show hey EO this is crazy. Also, how did I get to the castle of the Sisters? I was near the ocean and I entered the forest that was close to it. How did I get here? know what I'm not going to think about this. It's the Everfree Forest, it's unnatural in more than one way.
“The show had a sea dragon in a river. I guess I found out how he got there.”
as I headed into the castle of the two sisters. I noticed that there were some berries on bushes nearby. I went over to the bushes and took one and asked.
“hey EO can you please check if these are poisonous” I sent the berries into my hanger for EO to study. While EO was studying the berries I decided that I should explore the castle of the Two Sisters, or at least read some of their Library. to get more information on the history of the world of My Little Pony. Because the show didn't really give that much history. once I entered the castle I saw the elements hanging on that chandelier thing, from the second episode of My Little Pony. I passed by it and headed to the library of the castle to look into the history. once I get there. there's a couple books on history, a couple books on Magic and a few others. There's even a book on Pony Anatomy. ‘wouldn't trust that because of how old it is.’ so I go and sit down on a broken chair that's in the room and start to read about the history. 30 minutes later…
(“Hey”)([“Fox the food you gave us to test if it's poisonous. The food is not poisonous. You can eat it, please do. we desperately need to resupply. even if it's just a little.”])
“Okay EO.”
I put the book on my deck and head outside to pick and eat the berries off of the five bushes that have them with BB. About an hour and 30 minutes later I'm back into the library reading the book again. After reading for about three more hours I finished reading about the history of Equestria. I also tore down one of the ruined castle drapes, and used it for a bandage for my hoof, and for a cloak that will cover my deck so I can be around other ponies, without them running and screaming. I explored around the castle a bit and found a bedroom with a moon on it. 'Must have been Luna's bedroom before the nightmare moon event.' I open the door to see that the room is empty except for a bed. I continued to explore the castle and got to see the armory that was filled with broken and worn armor, 'Nothing usable.' I continued on my way and got to see another room with a sun on it. I went in to see a queen sized bed and a bedside table. They were both decorated with gold. I look to the right and see a bathroom with a broken door. In the bathroom there was a sink and a toilet and a large bath.
“hum, EO, I can see why Luna turned into Nightmaremoon. Luna got nothing while Celestia had everything. If their rooms are evidence enough.” I say with a wave of my hoof.
(“Hey”) ([“maybe it wasn't that bad she could still have a throne.”]) I head to the throne room to only see one throne. (“HEY!”) ([“Oh come on! Seriously!”])
“Well there's the proof.” I say while pointing a hoof at the throne that was covered in gold there wasn't any room for Luna anywhere. “I'm starting to see why Luna snapped.” I said and I was about to continue exploring the castle but it started to get dark. so I decided to sleep in Luna's bedroom. Once I got to Luna's room I slept in her bed that was old and falling apart.
