At the Baltimare Naval base just before sunset.
“Twi do you hear that.” Rainbow Dash asks
“I think it’s singing.” Twilight says
“It’s coming from over there.” Fluttershy says
“As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find
I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
When their bones in the ocean forever will be” is sung by a young sounding voice.
“It’s rather sad…” Pinky pie says
Twilight motions for the group to continue forward. Eventually they arrived at a dock for a rather large ship. If one were to look out into the water, you could see a Filly with rather large equipment attached to her flanks singing at the sky watching the moon rise as the sun sets.
“As the songs of the dead fill the space of my ears
Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
When their bones in the ocean forever will be” Taylor continues to sing.
“Dash go out and knock her out of that song I’m worried.” Twilight says in a hurry.
Rainbow Dash nods as she pushes off the ground at great speed. The exact same second Pinkie's entire body begins shaking.
“Dont!” Pinkie shouts
AppleJack is able to grab Rainbow out of the air before she gets over the water.
“A doozie! Right now?” Twilight says
Suddenly an alarm begins to sound from the Filly.
A straight line of tracer rounds from the CIWS go right where dash would’ve been if Applejack hadn’t grabbed her. Luckily the rounds exploded before they reached the shore.
“Wow… what kind of magic is that?” Twilight asks in amazement.
“Do ya know a water walking spell? I do t think flyin is a good idea.” Applejack says
===============================
The Mane 6 are finally close enough to talk to the filly.
“I remember the fallen and they think of me
For our souls in the ocean together will be” the Filly sings finishing the song before sitting on the water.
“That was lovely.” Twilight says
The filly turns around tears streaming down her face.
“Really?” Taylor asks
Several of the ponies nod.
“I had to sing the song… it just felt like it, I miss my friends Lisa, Ratchel, Brian, Alec was okay. I miss my sisters and there’s too many of them to even bother trying to name them.” Taylor says
“How many sisters do you have?” Pinkie asks
“Had…” Taylor says looking up at the stars
“…”
“How many?” Twilight asks
“There were 175 of us… I’m one of the last 5… I don’t know where the other 4 are.” Taylor says
That causes a rather deathly silence only the waves crashing against the shore in the distance can be heard.
“175 sisters what was y’all’s extended family like then?” Applejack asks being the first to speak up again.
“over 7000… I had a lot of cousins and aunts.” Taylor says
6768 ships at the end of the war and the Germans sank over 350 American ships in the course of the war.
“What happened?” Rainbow Dash asks
“We were warriors… we fought in some of the bloodiest battles in the world. Eventually it caught up to us all the last thing I remember before waking up here was killing a god and being betrayed.” Taylor says
Twilight suddenly hugs the Filly in front of her.
=============================
Taylor feels a leg wrap around her as she’s pulled into a hug.
“Hey”
‘I think they bought it too… are there really only 4 of my sisters left besides me? I think I’ve got a grudge against the Italians.’ Taylor tells her crew.
“Hey”
“They are all gone aren’t they?” Taylor asks out loud.
“It’s gonna be okay.” Twilight says hugging the filly more.
“I’m Twilight Sparkle the princess of friendship. What’s your name?” Twilight asks
“I’m Taylor a Destroyer, not a friendship. That’s a weird kind of ship. Is it like a cargo ship or a warship?” Taylor asks purposely messing with the one hugging her.
“How old are you anyway… you look about Sweetie Bell’s age and you said you were a warrior.” Rarity asks
“I’m 70 something, to be honest once you pass 25 you kinda just start counting in 10s and once you’ve passed 50 you just stop.” Taylor says
“Thar ain’t no way you are 70!” Applejack shouts
“I think I could take on a Filly.” Twilight says
“What!? No I can’t leave the ocean!” Taylor shouts
“Ponyville has a good lake.” Fluttershy says
“But the ocean! It’s my home! I’ve spent most of my life traveling the waves and…” Taylor stopes when she sees they aren’t taking no for an answer.
“Hey!”
‘Yeah just laugh all you want.’ Taylor tells her crew.
“Could we at least come back every now and then? I kinda wanna join the coast guard here when you finally realize I’m a Mare.” Taylor says
“Coast Guard? Sure I’ll even give you funding to found it if that’s what you want I am a princess after all.” Twilight says
