Friendship is Killzone

Orbit

After the Battle on the ground, Lee along with the commanding officers of his Flagship Visari studied the newly acquired maps and books of Equestria. “We need to pick an easy target to land our ships if we are to attack those Ponies” said Lee with a tired voice. They were up for hours trying to come up with a plan.

“According to this, the Changelings had recently suffered heavy casualties from a fail invasion of Canterlot,” reported Jane after she read a news article that one of the troops took from the library. “These species should be easy enough to wipe out.”

“Where did it say they invaded from” questioned Lee.

“From the wastelands” replied Jane

Lee and Jane’s First officer Johnson quickly searched the maps as Jane try to fine the race in one of the books. “Here,” called Johnson. “Its mostly flatlands with little to no plant life. We can easily terraform it”

Lee walked and inspected the map of the wastelands, it was mostly a deserted area but flat enough to land the carriers and begin the colony. “That should be where we start the Colony.”

“Wait!” called another officer, “I think we found something.” This office was reading a book about Gems of Equstria.

“What did you find Lieutenant?”

“I think we found Petrusite. The description in these books speaks of a gem that holds raw energy and shoots bolts of lightning.” But his excitement dropped when he read this part out loud, “Since these Gem has been so dangerous and killed a science team, Princess Celestria banded the use of the Gem in any form in trade or any of its uses.”

“Don’t tell me they destroyed the Petrusite” complained Jane

“No, they stored it in the Diamond Dog Mines. It says, they only know where it comes from and the only ones who can find them. The best part, they are not very bright and very dim witted.”

“I think we got ourselves a plan” said Lee with excitement. “But first things first, before I start rattleing off my plan, I got a few things I need to say.” He turned to Jane and Johnson. “As of today, Jane you are relieved of duty of command of the Visari, I believe Johnson would make a Better Captain. Please note the time and day.

Jane’s jaw dropped with shock. “Under what grounds?” she asked

“Do not question your Autarch” yelled Lee. “Besides Admiral you don’t want to be demoted off the bat.”

“What do you mean Admi…..” yelled Jane. Her rage from being relieved of command out was cut short when she realized what Lee just said.

“Admiral Adams, you are in charge of the landing of the ships in the wastelands of Equestria.” Commanded Lee, “as for the diamond dogs, I’ll need a larger force this time. I’m going to see if we can get more petrusite so we can launch a full invasion of these ponies. I don’t want to here we last a single ship.”

The strategy talks went on for hours unit the group left Lee’s quarters to get some rest. Jane stood behind staring at Lee trying to get the courage to confront him.

“Permission to speak freely sir.” Requested Jane.

“Permission approved, you can remove your helmet if you want,” Replied Lee. Honestly, he didn’t believe that commanding officers should wear these masks and armor. It takes away some of the moral when your soldered can’t see who you are and your expressions are.

“Sir, why me? Why pick me to be the admiral of your fleet?” quizzed Jane as she walked to him.

“Remember back in the Academy, how you always picked on me?” said Lee with a small smile on his face. “Well, this is payback”

Jane stopped in front of Lee, and she was just nervous. Sweet started to form, and she couldn’t look him in the eye. “Sir…. I… I…. I wanted……”

“Well speak” said Lee raising an eyebrow. He stood there looking, but this time actually looking at her. Her face was beautiful, and the scar across her right eye separating her eyebrow and lashes seems to complement her looks. Her eyes were the darkest of blues and he could easily drown in those eyes. Her hair was a beautiful brunette and was cut short to her shoulder. Personally, he did like Jane ever since the Academy but never went after it since it was forbidden.

“I can’t do this,” said Jane walking away with a tear forming in her eye. “Forget this ever happed” She tried to turn away but funder her arm being held be something and hand under her chin forcing her to look into Lee’s eyes. Those green eyes, just cut through her as them seem to look right into her soul.  But a connection was made when she felt him lean in and kissed her.
