Castle MoonMinster laboratories…
Well?” asked Luna
“Are you ready because I think we finally got it.”
“Then show me. Please.” Said Luna
“Ok, ok, just give me a moment. Ethamist are you ready?”
“Yes, SC.”
“Ok then bring it down here. NOW!” Said SC
“Ok, ok. Stop being so pushy I have feelings ya know.” Said Ethamist as he came down from the main lab “Oh Princess I’m sorry about my colleague he has quite a temper and …impatience.” Said Ethamist the main scientist at MoonMinster
“It’s alright but is it done have you done tests? Is it safe? And can it be mass produced?” asked Luna eagerness in her eyes
“Yes my princess we have three it took the two of us three days to produce them I’m sure if we had more people working on them we could minimize that amount by oh let’s say three days, or more. Also we have done tests with weighs and one ball can support about 300 pounds …” almost finished Ethamist
“NO you idiot it can support 3,000 pounds not 300!” put in SC
“That’s the right number I was debating it in my head. Anyways yes princess it is safe but we have to get a good control system on it otherwise it’ll go all up or all down.” Finished Ethamist
“Ok ill want those Anti-gravity balls mass produced how many ponies do you need?” asked Luna
“300 maybe more and a separate place to build them so we can work on the control system. The control system should only take a week or so if you want to start working on the ships I suggest working on it now.” Said Ethamist
“Ok and can you make them bigger and support more weight?” asked Luna
“Yes we can but then we will need about 600 ponies.” Said SC
“Considerate done.” Said Luna hope in her eyes “You will have your men tomorrow and by the way its you who need to hurry up I’ve got 100 ships waiting to be fitted with those ya know along with the mothership.” She said as she left the room leaving the two scientist looking after her in shock
“Ya know you really got to get out more SC. Who else is goanna tell me what’s going on out there.” Said Ethamist
“OH, I adda …
MoonMinster ship yard…
“Captain I need you to prepare the ships were heading out on a week.” Said Luna standing on the bridge of the fleet mothership
“Considerate done. It should take us five days to prepare the ships and two days to prepare the men is that all Luna?” asked commander MR (Moon Reflection)
“One more thing call Rainbow Dash and Rarity to my office and tell them I’ll be with them in a moment.” Said Luna
“Right on it.” Replied MR
Lunas office MoonMinster…
“So what up Princess?” asked Rainbow
“Rainbow how could you?” asked Rarity
“What?” asked Rainbow
“Well for starters you just don’t ask the princes what’s up. You say politely what you can do FOR her.” Said Rarity
“Sorry Rarity.” Said Dash with a look of boredom on her face “How may I be of service my Princess said Rainbow with a look of disgust
“That’s better although the sarcasticness of your voice doesn’t help.” Said Rarity with a bright smile “Now beside my friend how may I be of assistance Princess?” asked Rarity
Luna looking bored herself snapped back into life and sat up “Yes well Rainbow I want you to command a fleet vessel for our air attack on Manehatten.” Said Luna
“Great I’ll do it what’s my ship number?” said Rainbow with happiness
“Fleet vessel 43 3rd hanger you may go if you want …” Luna didn’t get to finish because of the flash of a rainbow and the swing of a door
“Ok well really don’t see where I come into play here.” Said Rarity
“I want you to be a ground general in this battle rarity.” Said Luna
“WHAT IM NOT EVEN SUTTED TO BE A GENERAL LET ALONE HOW TO WORK UNDER PRESSURE!” Gasped Rarity
“Well you can work well under pressure I mean look at your best dresses.” Luna pointed out “And you are the best ground general I think I could have even without experience ith the field that’s why I’m limiting you to your quarters the lunchroom and the training grounds from now until next week. I’m sorry if this seems like a punishment but I really want you out there! Don’t worry you will train alone and privately.” Said Luna
“What about Pinkie Pie?” asked Rarity
“She would never listen or follow the rules plus she has that pinkie sense and I don’t want to take advantage of that unless I absolutely have to.” Finished Luna
“Fine I’ll do it but I’m not going to like it.” Said Rarity heading for the door
“Your trainer is a hot general” Said Luna
“Are we talking the full 10 hot on the hot meter?” asked Rarity stopping in her tracks
“Yup the full ten” said Luna
“OH I’LL BE THERE RIGHT ON TIME!” exclaimed Rarity as she headed bouncing out of the room.
