I feel we might be too late. Not everything is lost though I have read while I was on the station not too long ago. There is a failsafe if the core is destroyed. If the magic core of Project Harmony is destroyed there is a chance if it is hit just right. It will cause a magic cascade and engulf the entire station in a magic bubble to freeze whoever is on it in time. Then they will live through an endless dream till their minds are healed from whatever they went through. This is the only chance my friend can get them to the world that was made just for them. Please do what you can to keep them alive Sebastian, please.

Shadow and I get onto the station. The station shakes and metal groans from the firing. The ship takes off flying back outside. I look at Shadow. She looks around a scared look in her eyes. I try to stay strong. I push Shadow off the landing dock. While we walk through the burning station. Many of those we work with are either wounded or dead.
Our diamond dog boss is barely alive and has a mask over her snout while others are in hiding. Butter Berry quickly trots over to me and Shadow hugging the two of us. I look at the army we have defending the wounded.
“Okay give me a weapon and I will help fight them off.”
One of the soldiers stares at me. I notice she used to be part of the attacking army. She shrugs her shoulders.
“It’s your death if you wish to. I am sorry for what we have done. I tried to keep the others alive. Now get some armor and a weapon and make sure you’re prepared.”
I trot to get some armor and a weapon. Shadow does the same. I look over to Shadow. I wish she didn’t want to follow me. Before I could say anything there was a big explosion. It causes the entire station to shake.
“Alert alert hall breach in the brown sector. Bulkhead door sealing no lives lost. Please get away from the area as fast as you can please find the nearest escape pod.”
The pa system turns off and the power goes off for a moment then turns back on. The alarm keeps ringing. I doubt I can do anything. I look over to Shadow and we both leave. Leaving those we know behind.
“Shadow you don’t have to do this with me.”
Shadow snorts.
“Shut up Chaser I am not letting you die. Now let's go see if anyone can save anypony else.”
I nod Shadow and I quickly trot through the burning parts of the station. It’s very silent only the sounds of the raging fire and the sounds of the lasers blasting outside. Another part of the station groans. All we find though are bodies of dead or wounded from both sides.
“There is one alive here, Chaser.”
I stop looking down at the mare from Twilight's army staring at the two of us with fear in her eyes. I keep my weapon primed and ready to fire on her just in case she turns on us. Shadow smacks me into the side with her hoof.
“We need to show her we aren’t going to kill her.”
I glare at Shadow.
“Shadow you know full well she might turn on us if we allow her to. Know if she does anything to hurt you I will fire on her.”
Shadow goes through her armor to try to find a medical pack. She finds it in the armor and tries her best to repair the wounds. Before we could do anything a plasma bullet flew past us. We lift our heads staring at the enemy army attacking us.
I lift my gun firing back at the ponies hitting one of them. They fall over dead after the shot. Before I could do anything else I heard one large blast from the ships outside the station and when it hit a larger alarm sounded.
“They just hit the core… It’s going to blow.”
I grab Shadow pulling her away from the wounded mare. The two of us run to try to find an escape pod leaving the pony behind to die. I am upset I had to do this. There is an explosion near us and a piece of metal stabs me onto the floor.
I groaned trying to move. I can’t move, feeling so much pain in my body. Shadow pulls on the metal with her mouth and it doesn’t budge.
“Shadow go save yourself, leave me behind.”
Shadow snorts.
“No, I will not be leaving you behind!!”
Tears fell down her eyes.
“Please Shadow save yourself!!”
I cough trying to move. I can't even move without a great amount of pain. Shadow shakes her head snorting louder.
“No, I will not be leaving the one I love!!”
I stare at Shadow.
“I can’t leave you here, watch the one I have fallen in love with over the years, Chaser please don’t make me go.”
I weakly smile.
“I love you too, Shadow.”
Shadow leans down to kiss me. When the kiss breaks the station shakes violently. A strange bubble comes after us. We wrap around each other and when it hits time freezes at least it’s how I saw it in my mind.

Outside the station.
Outside the station, the ships from Equss keep firing on the bubbled station. A ship flies close to the ships. A strange spell is cast and the ships vanish heading back to the planet they came from. A ship controlled by the race called Weavers and the alliance comes out of hyperspace. In the main ship a creature known as Eight legs, one of the warriors of the Weavers watches the alliance, and the small ship transports the entire bubbled station into hyperspace.
“This is the story of the first of the Harmony stations. It was our last and best hope for peace.”
Ships attack each other and the station gets heavily attacked.
“It failed. In the year of the battle between Disharmony and Harmony. It’s our last best hope Victory.”
“This is the last of the Harmony stations, the name of the place Harmony one.”
