~It less than an hour later~
In the permanent living quarters in the high security Living module of the Space station, a charming light purple alicorn mare with dark sapphire blue, moderate purple and brilliant rose streak mane and tail walk about the sizeable single-occupant living quarters. Her toned 5ft 5in equine figure was attired in a blue-violet colored form-fitting spacesuit with titan white trim. On her small purple plush and smooth bare feet were knee-high boots. Folded on her back were her light purple feathered bird wings. This light purple alicorn mare was former Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle.
After exploring her permanent residence, Twilight walks up to the front door of her Living quarters and presses a holographic button on a control panel in the wall next to the door. A very disagreeable buzz greets her every time she pushes the door open button so she may leave her living quarters. Before long, the unmistakable sound of a door locking causes Twilight's stomach to shrivel, and her legs give out under her. As she sits on the ground, tears beginning to streak her snout with her new position as a former prisoner as it begins to sink in. The front door unlocks as it whooshes open in walks an Imperator Alicorn stallion wearing the navy blue spacesuit of Military police officer on his chest was a gold badge.
He walks over to the control panel in the wall next to the door; he enters an MP security code into the board. Once the optical scanner confirmed his security clearance via his Mini Computer Vambrace, the lockdown ceased, transforming the red light into green light.
"Mmm, your highness, were you trying to leave your living quarters? Is that why the lockdown activated? If that the case you couldn't go without your security clearance, this area is a high secured block." The MP Officer explains as he takes hold of Twilight's arm with her MCV and opens a small door on the device to install the security chip into it.
Once installed in her Mini Computer Vambrace, the security guard walks Twilight over to the optical scanner in the wall. The panel scans the security chip in the MCV and registers the security clearance in its memory. Once done, the panel dings allowing the front door to whoosh open went she place her MCV close to the device and shut went she take away the MCV with a ten-second delay to allow her to leave the room.
~It a few days later~
Two hours before the scheduled pick up of the long-range shuttlecraft from United Animal Council carrying Lady Jennifer Sterling and representatives from the Far East Sector government. Walking down the reinforced connecting corridor on her way to the Captain's Quarters of the 'IAS Stellar Eclipse' was a gorgeous light blue half alicorn/unicorn mare with crimson red mane and tail a single slender fairy tale pink color stripe ran through her mane all the way to her tail.
Her shapely 6ft 6in equine figure was attired in a form-fitting green spacesuit with pacific blue colored trim. On her elegant shaped light blue bare feet were knee-high boots. Folded on her back were her delicate light blue feathered bird wings. This half alicorn/unicorn mare was Lieutenant Colonel Aurora Silverlight.
She walks up to the Captain's Quarters and presses a holographic button on the wall next to the door, it jingles once inside the room a stallion voice said 'come in.' As the door whoosh open, she walks into the room sitting behind the desk looking over the mission brief date cube was Rear Admiral Justice Silverlight.
"Admiral, you sent for me?" Aurora said as Justice stood up and walked up to Aurora, his metal wings unfolded off his back. As he approaches her, her light blue feathered bird wings begin to unfold off her back. He wraps his arms around Aurora, followed by his wings wrapping around her and she does the same.
"Greetings, daughter," Justice said, loving as he hugged his oldest foal.
"Greetings, father, you sent for me?" Aurora said, loving as she hugged him with that the two Alicorns folded their wings back onto their backs. Before Justice steps back and sits on the edge of his desk with a stern look on his face, Aurora clasp and unclasp her gloved hands nervously.
"I am pulling you off the extraction team."Justice said steely as Aurora fixes a smoldering eye upon her father.
"But!" Aurora said as her father intentionally cleared his throat, causing her to stop her next thought.
"As much as I don't want to put my foal in danger as a father should. Your numbers are the best I have seen than any of my Imperator Alicorn Aerospace Fighter pilots who known how to fly a Shadow Cat class bomber fighter. You are being reassigned to the assault team from what Captain Sterling told me the buzzer's mother ship can't detect a cloaked fighter. Your target will be the center hump that looks like a giant eye. It is the brain for the buzzer's mother ship." Justice explains as Aurora shook her head.
"Is their more you want to ask me, father?" Aurora said cordial sense that her father what to asks her something else.
"I have never had to utilize stealthy units in my carrier before. All my Aerospace fighter pilots are top-notch aces from Imperator Alicorn Space. Are there any special preparations you must do to use stealth unit, Aurora?" Justice inquiry as Aurora lifts her arm up with her Mini Computer Vambrace and call up a holographic keyboard.
With a few keystrokes, she changes the form-fitting green spacesuit with pacific blue colored trim she was wearing into a black form-fitting spacesuit with battleship gray trim. The transformation continues as her light blue pelt darkens, matching her father's dark blue hide perfectly. Her crimson red mane turns jet black, and her single slender fairy tale pink color stripe turn battleship gray.
"That all the special preparations I have to do, father," Aurora explains, changing her spacesuit, mane, tail, and pelt back to its original color scheme.
"Good luck, daughter," Justice said, worried as he hugged and kissed his foal on her cheek.
"Like you tell mother...I always will return, father." Aurora said as she leaves the quarters to head down to the flight deck.
~One hour before the sortie begins ~
It few hours before the sortie on the flight deck of 'IAS Stellar Eclipse' Lieutenant Colonel Aurora Silverlight inspects an SCF 1PB Shadow cat bomber fighter. Once she is finished with the inspection, she flaps her wings once and lands in the cockpit of the fighter. Slowly the tough transparent bubble of canopy closes with a low whoosh makes it airtight. In the cockpit, Aurora places her helmet on top of her head and changes into stealth mode and begins to sequentially flip switches and press buttons on the control panel in front of her.
Once she grabs holds of the two yokes on the arms of the pilot seat. A large claw from the ceiling of the flight deck lowers grabs her fighter around the fuselage. The claw lifts her Shadow Cat class fighter three feet in the air and deposits her fighter on one of three launching catapults. As the visor lower on her helmet in front of her eyes, the tinted glass begins running through the diagnostics of Aerospace fighter and double checks the cloaking system generator. Once it reads stable output, the system slowly begins to charge.
Soon the outline of the fighter appears on one side of the visor; it says all armor is 100% across the fighter, and the cloak system generator is fully charged. On the other side, it shows three mini proton torpedoes are ready, and two rapid-fire ion cannons are prepared. She activates her stealth pilot body armor as the four-point harnesses hold her to the seat. Aurora gives the thumb-up to the shooter the Imperator Alicorn mare ducks and signals to launch. With that, Aurora is thrown back into her seat with some force as the fighter accelerates down a glowing tube as it reaches the end of the tube, it shot into the darkness of space.
"Setting sun one, clear of the carrier. All reading optimal. Engaging the pilot control system. The pilot has control. Inputting rendezvous coordinates for assault team." Aurora report to flight control as she joins four other SCF 1PB shadow cat fighter bomber in V formation.
As Aurora's fighter takes the lead position in the formation, the visor rises back into her helmet as several small holo screens appear on canopy each screen has a face of one of the other stealth pilots in the formation with the pilot call name and cloak system generator reading fully charged.
"All right pilots, our jobs are simple to give that Cyclops mother ship a bad case of red-eye. Our shadow cat fighters are armed with three mini proton torpedoes and two rapid-fire ion cannons. Once the extraction team begins to defend the UAC shuttlecraft from the swarm of Buzzers. That is our cue to go in hot, deliver the torpedo into that eye, and get out. Stealth pilots move out." Aurora orders as her visor lower back into place and formation activates the cloaking system before it begins to move forward.
It hour later, as a long-range UAC shuttlecraft comes into view flashing its lights aboard the shuttle was Lady Jennifer Sterling and representatives from the Far East Sector government for their meeting with Empress Galaxy Cosmos, the ruler of the Imperator Alicorns. From the carrier, a small flight (5) WF 1MP assault/combat wasp fighters fly out to rendezvous with the shuttle to escort it to the 'IAS Stellar Eclipse' so it can transport the passengers to the 'Infinity palace.'
As the flight response to the flashing lights by flashing their own lights. Suddenly the shuttle comes under attack by a swarm of Buzzers. Instantly the fighters engage the large numbers of buzzer swarms attacking the shuttle. The blackness of space is lit up by triple-barreled auto cannons fire mix with triple-barreled pulse laser and dual auto cannons fire.
A large number of buzzer swarms explode in brilliant bright flashes in an impromptu fireworks display that rivals the pinpoint starlight that is scattered in the darkness of deep space.
As the badly damage UAC shuttle begins to smoke and lose forward propulsion, the largest Buzzers mother ship reveals itself. From the intelligence from morphs on the planet of ARK. This buzzer mother ship is called a Cyclops mother ship; this type of ship is equal to the lieutenant in the Echoes' unmanned assault craft space fleet. If you can take out the Cyclops mother ship, all other buzzer mother ships in the star sector will be sent a self destruct command from the Cyclops ship.
The moment the Cyclops mother ship reveals itself, five shadow cat bomber fighters lead by Aurora drop their cloak and come in hot forward right of Cyclops’s mother ship. The AI system quickly responds by flipping up several small pulse laser turrets on the right side, filling the area with anti-aerospace fighter's fire. This causes the shadow cats bomber fighters to change their trajectory approach in an attempt to dodge incoming pulse fire.
As the shadow cats re-cloak themselves, the AI system responds by revealing all its small pulse laser turrets and open fire in every direction trying to forces the cloaked fighters to reveal themselves. The constant anti-aerospace fire jostles the cloaked aerospace fighters causing their cloak system generator to begin to overheat. Quickly the fighters drop their cloak revealing themselves.
"Pilots tight V formation at full throttle we are going down its throat. All pilots switch to bombing sights; we have one shot at its eye. Went lock-on fire and pull up." Aurora orders as the flight form a tight V formation. Quickly the pilots jam the throttle forward as pulse fire baffles the fighter all round them.
Unfazed with explosions around them, the fighter pilots continue their attack trajectory toward the single eye within 100 feet the fighters launch their three mini proton torpedoes at the eye. All proton torpedoes hit their target; the eye turns red then become bloodshot. As the ship begins to an explosion inside, the AI last act is to lock on the lead fighter with its turrets. As the shadow cat fighters pull up and away from the mother ship.
Using its remaining energy in the small pulse laser turrets, it unleashes an entire volley striking the shadow cat fighter being piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Aurora Silverlight. As the fighter was about to explode, Aurora launches the pilot's compartment escape pod. The shock of the launch knocks Aurora unconscious. As the escape pod floats in space, an Echoes retriever locks onto Aurora's vital signs and heads straight toward the escape pod.
As a claw descends from the underside of the retriever, it suddenly stops as the vessel is impaled on a massive black spiral horn. The black spiral horn belongs to huge living Alicorn constellation; a shooting star falls from its eyes as it almost lost its foal to an Echoes retriever. The living Alicorn constellation carefully bites down on an escape pod and carries it back to the mission area. Before tossing the escape pod into the battlefield, it uses magic to activate the distress beacon. A second later, an Imperator Alicorn patrol class warship collects the escape pod and takes it to an Imperator Alicorn hospital ship.
~It a few hours later aboard the hospital ship~
Slowly Aurora's cobalt blue eyes open, and she finds herself staring into bright lights of hospital ward aboard an Imperator Alicorn hospital ship as Aurora turns her head. She spots her mother Celestia's sleeping on a chair next to her bed with her gloved hand wrap around her bare hand.
"Mama," Aurora said, waking up her mother who pupils dilated upon seeing her foal's eyes opened.
"By my light! You have comes to my dear Aurora. Do you know who I am?" Celestia asked hopeful but worried as Aurora shook her head.
"You are my mother, Princess Celestia Silverlight, the ex-princess of the sun and ruler of the Solar Empire." Aurora answer as tears streaked Celestia's snout.
"Thank the first star you didn't sustain any major brain damage went you ejected your pilot's compartment escape pod you were knocked unconscious. The force of ejecting cracked the canopy of your cockpit; it was leaking oxygen. With you unconscious, you couldn't activate your emergency oxygen supply." Celestia explains as Aurora recoil in horror.
