The Valkyrie listed, fire streaming from the breaches erupting from the hull. Inside ponies clutched at the nearest solid objects as the ageing inertial-dampers struggled to compensate with its careening flight. Helmsman Wind wrapped his wings around his chair and desperately wrangled with the flight controls. The whole ship groaned as structure beams strained to stay in shape.
Throughout the ship of the ship Ponies ran for their lives as systems began to fail. Plasma conduits violently ruptured, sending pyroclastic flows pounding against containment buckling containment shields. Streams of venting atmosphere threatening rip out the Valkyries guts as they rushed to un-pressurised sections. Whole sections of ship turned to dust in an instance as the entropy barrier flicked and failed.
Twilight strode onto the bridge, almost wall-walking as her body ignoring the shifting inertia. Stepping past Interstellar Wind she sent a jolt of magic directing into the console; with a jolt and a hum the ship righted itself from its death spiral. Twilight stood highlighted by the exploding machinery, sheer force of will coursing through the vessel and holding it together.
Barriers slammed shut holding in the explosions while energy surged back into the entropy shields. Ponies across the ship plucked from danger and teleported to safety. The bridge crew looked on in awe, their Princess silhouetted in sparks and flares.
Then something snapped; the lights flickered, a thin scream escaped from Twilight's lips, and the world went quite as a single wet snap echoed across the ship.
The lights came back up. Twilight still stood, wings hanging limb and motionless. She let her breathe rise and fall slowly as blood trickled down her face from the shattered hole in her forehead where her horn had once stood.
