The Truth About the Humans

The battle was taking place outside of Inkopolis. Upon entering the battle, everybody opened fire and released their full fury against the humans. This included Inklings, Octarians, and Salmonlings charging out of strongholds to add more fuel to the fire. Some of the Equestrians took to the air in their ships while the rest of them, the Squidbeak Splatoon, the Octarians, and the Salmonlings readied themselves for the ground battle. The waiting soldiers emerged from their bunkers and joined up with their commanding officers, and everyone opened fire. Walker gave some tips to the ground troops since he knew a good amount of detail on the weapons that the humans were wielding. Prior to coming into battle, Flurry had made everyone agree not to kill anyone, only to subdue them. So, all of the pilots had their weapons set on stun.

The dragons left many soldiers with their clothes scorched by their flame breath, and the yaks dealt heavy damage by charging forth and knocking soldiers down. This left some of the humans with ugly bruises. The griffins and the hippogriffs dealt large cuts with their sharp talons, and the changelings used their slime to restrain humans in place so they couldn't move. The ponies made up the air force and dropped giant canisters of sleep gas and stun grenades into the large groups of soldiers. The Inklings, Octarians, and Salmonlings did not hold back on how much ink they shot. They left numerous humans covered in it and having to clean off their helmets. Some of the humans ended up with their weapons getting shot out of their hands.

Eventually, the battle ended with the humans unable to see where they were going, due to the ink covering their helmets' visors. Seeing an opportunity, everyone charged for the humans' ships on the water. As they approached, one of the ships' Captains came running out with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Why are you shooting at us?", he asked in alarm.

"Don't play innocent with us. You've been capturing our friends.", hissed Andrew.

"What are you talking about? They volunteered to be interviewed. We are trying to study the evolution that has taken place all of this time we've been asleep underwater.", said the Captain.

Suddenly, as if a record scratch had occurred, everyone was wide-eyed and they lowered their weapons.

"You're studying the new life?", asked Marie.

"That's right. My name is Everett. I'm Captain of the Voyager.", said the Captain as he extended his hand.

Walker was hesitant at first, but he soon stepped forward and shook hands with Everett.

"We're sorry that we mistook your actions for capturing. We should have waited to meet you first.", he replied.

"If you were trying to study them, then what happened to their ship that caused them to crash? We thought they'd been attacked.", asked Flurry Heart.

"One of our ships tried to follow them and call out that we meant no harm. Unfortunately, their radio shorted out and the engines overheated near a planet with intelligent life. Damage like that can look like the ship was attacked.", explained Everett's First Officer, Mariah.

"That planet is called Equus. It's where we come from. We repaired their ship after rescuing them.", said Ocellus.

Walker called out on radio to say that the battle was over and that the humans were not attacking. The next morning, a news report went out, detailing the true reason for the residents from Inkopolis and Splatsville disappearing, which was the invites to be interviewed. Three days later, the Equestrians were interviewed and a new plan was formulated.
