//------------------------------// // The Dream // Story: My Little Pony Destroyers are Magic. // by CommonDash //------------------------------// Flash backs, that’s what they were called. It was a sea of oil, fire, and broken ships. “Where am I?” Taylor wonders before a destroyer near her opens fire. “Sister!? You need to get up the fleet needs assistance. Ever since that flying golden thing and that winged unicorn started fighting we’ve been taking significant losses.” “Foote? Wait how do I know your name?” Taylor asks shaking her head. “Really sis? Did you hit your bridge to hard with that landing.” Foote asks “Iowa is calling for support we need to go! Call your rigging that winged unicorn and the golden man just sank Willie Dee!” Foote shouts in outrage. “Deploy your rigging let’s go!” Foote says =================== “Sir I think we should wake her up she’s been asleep on the floor for 2 days.” A pony says “I appreciate the idea Helms Gate however, I don’t believe we should approach her she’s been having a horrible nightmare for a while.” Spy Glass says “That is why we should wake her up!” Helms Gate says “Do you want the nightmare to effect her? I’ve also had contact with command. Princess Luna has been busy in a dream since last night.” Spy Glass says. “You think it’s… what is she dreaming about?” Helms Gate asks ================== Meanwhile over the coral sea. The night sky is glowing red as a full blood moon lights up the ocean. “Scion! You bastard!” Taylor screams spotting the golden man. Taylor looks down in shock as her rigging deploys. There are wrecks everywhere littering the ocean. The golden man just stares at Taylor blankly. “Thou doth knowith this eldrich horror young pony?” Luna asks showing up behind Taylor. “He’s the false god I slayed to save the world.” Taylor says “Thou hast slayed a god?” The tall winged unicorn asks. “I mean yes? Though the power that let me beat him… well, I would rather not have to do it again even if I could… actually what’s your name? I’m Taylor.” Taylor says “Thine name tis Luna, and thou shall wait here unto I defeat the nightmare.” Luna says ================ “ Drop the anchors! Tie us down to the mooring I don’t want to see any drift!” Spy Glass shouts “Sir I think we should wake the passenger now.” False Alarm says “Give her a few more minutes, we don’t have to disembark just yet.” Spy Glass says ================= Stars seem to be falling as the world is seemingly ending. Taylor was standing on the eerily calm ocean her rigging was out in its full glory. A set of torpedo launchers full of Mark 50 torps. Her magnetic accelerator cannons were also on display. In truth her rigging looked more like that of a crusier than a Fletcher class destroyer. Luna is being held on the ground by Scion… Zion. “ STOP I’VE HAD ENOUGH!!! “ All 10 MAC’s on the 5 turret mounts begin to hum full of electricity before there is a thunder clap. All 10 tungsten rounds hit their mark causing the nightmare to disintegrate. “Yond wast… that was the type of nightmare where one must face their own fears? I’ve head of such but that tis the first I have seen.” Luna says “… that took a bit however he was about to hurt you and… it’s very rare, I’ve had no one stand up for me in a while.” Taylor admits her trust issues from Brockton carried over a little… a lot. “Tis my pleasure to help my little ponies.” Luna says “Little! I’ll have you know I’m… older than 70.” Taylor says “Truly, well thou hast killed a god so, thou must’ve ascended in some way… I shall consult my sister. Doth thou knowith thine location?” Luna asks “I’m aboard a ship of the Equestrian navy. Spy Glass is the captian.” Taylor admits Luna nods. “Hey! Wake up!” A voice says “Luna did you hear that?” Taylor asks “It appears thou is waking up.” Luna says “Oh?” Taylor says before the dream fades. ============== “Your finally awake! You were trying to cross the border. You were caught in an ambush.” A pony says “Bad Reference stop doing that your confusing the poor filly.” Another pony says “Filly? What does that mean?” Taylor asks “You don’t know what a filly is even though you are one?” Bad Reference asks “Is it like a sandwich?” Taylor asks “No.” The other one says “Yes from Fillydelphia, it has some amazing flowers in it.” Bad Reference says Taylor stares at the unnamed stallion. “Why did you wake me up again? I was talking with that Luna unicorn Pegasus girl?” Taylor says “… right so Boy’s are colts… Fillies are girls, a grown up colt is a stallion and a grown up filly is a Mare.” The stallion says “Okay? So I’m a mare then.” Taylor says “Mare? Filly your no younger than 13.” The stallion says “I’m 70, and I’ve defeated things that would make you stay up at night.” Taylor says. “Anyways we are at port in Baltimare, Spy Glass plans on leaving you with her superiors here.” The stallion says “Okay stallion who won’t tell me his name.” Taylor says “Disembarking for shore leave then.” Taylor says heading to the top deck.
