There is no peace in war.

Gamma Nine: Pony controlled space

U.N.S. Stealth fighter
'The Package'


Cadence stood behind the Captain Iron; He was fleet admiral of Cadence's home fleet. They're current position was in Gamma Nine, a valuable source for resources could be found on all planets in the solar system. By far Cadence had the biggest fleet in all of Equestria, plus the biggest cruiser which was originally meant for colonization, but was now outfitted with some pretty large deck guns and two new expierimental cannons that fire mass amounts of super heated plasma. Now Cadence wondered why her aunt had sent her all the way out to the furthest galaxy and requested to destroy any unknown ships that had U.N.S. written on it.
"Captain? What in Equestria is that?" Cadence asked pointing with her hoof out the window. The captain squinted his eyes to look at what Cadence had pointed out.
"I dont see anything princess. Check the radar, will you?" he asked a pony sitting at a console. The pony checked and eventually shook his head no.
"See princess there isnt-" he was cut off by three small space craft that flew by the bridge window. The captain practicly jumped off his seat to the console infront of him. He pressed down on the alarm button, possibly a bit to hard because he broke it. The alarms blared and the chatter over the radio came to life. Off to the right a cruiser exploded.
"I want those fighters mopped up do you understand me?" Iron yelled into the communications microphone.
"Trying sir but they're not appearing on our radars."
"Just try your hardest!"

"This is Falcon two-one, requesting permission for take off?" The radio stayed silent for a second.
"Go ahead two-one, just watch yourself out there you dont have stealth on your side." Verona started the drop ships engine's. The ship took off and banked left headed towards the massive fleet before her. She made it to underneath the largest ship in the fleet and bagan to rise. She passed the bridge only taking one second to take a look inside before continued the ninty degree ascent. There was a small opening that she could set down on.
"You ready marines?" She asked looking back at the marines in her ride. They simply nodded. She turned back and pressed a grey button on the dashboard. The door became air tight and the back door opened.

The marines pulled out three packages, since there was no gravity it made moving them out easier. One by one they activated and they walked around making clunking sounds. The drop ship took off leaving the marines behind.
"Open it right there." Lance corporal Vance said pointing at a possible entry point. The packages set up a large air tight tent over it. The marines went in and went to work. The sound of plasma cutting through steel almost seemed silent.

---------------------------------------------------

Every pony on the bridge dared not breath when they heard many metallic thunks above them. It stopped for a second before sparks started to fall from the ceiling. All the ponies brought to bear their pistols.
"Get the princess out of her!" shouted Iron. Cadence left with another pony that escorted her out of the bridge. The red circle above them was almost complete. Nearing the completion the sparks stopped flying and the steel circle fell and made a loud thud. Nothing happened. A small stick fell down and it exploded blinding all the ponies inside. What happened next scared Iron to death, so he let out a scream as well did most of the crew.

Loud bangs echoed through out the hall ways of the ship and screams as well. Cadence looked back but saw what seemed to be two bipedals holding short barrels and were screaming. "Equestrian?" Cadence thought but was stopped as a robotic dog came around the corner.
"RUN!" shouted one of Cadence's guards pulling her. They ran as fast as their hooves could carry them. Cadence swore she heard one of the bipeds say sick them. The big dog ran and caught up within a second. It lunged and tackled one of Cadence's guards. The dog started to throw around her guard like a rag doll, as if it we're playing with a toy. They continued to run as two more of the dog things chased them. When they entered a more crowded area the dogs stopped and two long barrels came out and a distinctive click made every pony freeze. What seemed to be fire shot out of those barrels and killed every pony, spraying blood everywhere. Cadence was still left standing and looked directly at the dogs that seemed to mechanicaly breath with the rising and falling of a chest. The dogs began to circle Cadence, not caring for the bodies they stepped on.

The two bipeds came into the room and charged Cadence knocking her over.
"Command we have possible high value target......... Understood sir." The biped rolled Cadence over and placed straps on her. The biped slung Cadence over his shoulders and carried her out of the bloody room. Many cracks could be heard down the corridor. The hanger room appeared and in the middle sat a large ship, like the one Cadence saw earlier. More of the dogs walked around patrolling the area. Her vision of the hanger was replaced by a dark grey wall. They had entered the ship. The biped layed her on the floor to look at the outside.
"Go destroy anything you think might be important and bring back any intel." One biped said to the large dog, which grunted in reply. It took off down the hall ways of the ship.

The ships door closed and hissed. The sensation of movement made Cadence almost want to throw up. On the door sat a small window. She tried to get a good look outside but only found her fleet; two hundred strong to be only a giant play ground of destroyed cruisers. She sobbed to her self thinking, "What is going to happen next?"
