Once Flurry heart saw Galeem’s forces beginning to form up, she called out to the Disney Fleet.
“Raise shields and prepare for enemy engagement.”
Everyone raised their shields to full capacity and accelerated to attack speed. Minnie’s nieces detached from her ship and everyone armed their weapons. Once they were close enough to Galeem, his forces started appearing on radar.
“OPEN FIRE!”, Mickey yelled over the radio.
Blasts flew from both fleets and struck each other, but Flurry and the Disney Fleet had the upper hand. Galeem’s forces did not all have the opportunity to put their shields up before they were hit. Their ships were destroyed and they perished in either the vacuum of space or in the explosions. Those that had put up their shields and started pursuing individual ships.
“Jasmine, you’ve got one on your tail. I’m coming to help you.”, said Aladdin as he chased after a fighter.
“Tigger, pull up!”, yelled Christopher Robin as Tigger shot down a fighter and flew through the blast.
Tigger was quick to avoid the hottest part of the blast.
“I got a little cooked, but I’m alright.”, he replied.
After an hour, the entire squadron from Galeem’s fleet had been taken out. Belle’s sensors indicated that there was another one coming. She relayed this to Flurry, who did not take the news lightly. In a fit of rage, she called out angrily to Galeem.
“OH NO YOU DON’T!”, she screamed.
Suddenly, Minnie radioed in. She was panicking.
“Gold Leader, I need your help. The twins have split off too far from me and have turned their radios off. I can’t contact them.”
Flurry widened her radar range and picked up the twins at a stationary position. A scan revealed that they were aiming quantum torpedoes at the Light Master’s main reactor. Flurry told Minnie what was going on.
“They’re aiming at the main reactor?”, she asked in an astonished tone.
“Affirmative, and I think I know why. If they hit the reactor, and cause the ship to blow up, Galeem and his remaining soldiers will be forced to evacuate. That will also have the result of releasing the Harmony Fleet from captivity.”, Flurry replied.
Flurry was right. Strong blasts flew from both Millie and Melody’s ships and pierced deep into the center of the Light Master. Multiple ships from Galeem’s fleet came shooting away in an attempt to escape the destruction, including Galeem himself, except Galeem was the only one who survived. Many of his soldiers’ ships were damaged and were blown up as they tried to escape. As the ship blew apart, several ships that Flurry recognized came flying away from the blast. When she spotted them on her radar, a smile formed on her face. Meanwhile, Millie and Melody had returned to their aunt and turned their radios back on.
“Way to go, girls.”, hollered Minnie over the headset.
Flurry called out to her fleet from Equus.
“Harmony Fleet, this is Queen Flurry Heart. Do you copy?”
The entire fleet acknowledged and was happy she was back.
“I see that you have found some new soldiers to help out.”, said Gallus.
“You’re right about that, Gallus. I never lost faith in her.”, added Smolder
Flurry called out to everyone and said they were clear to land on Equus since her shield was still standing.
“All fighters, my shield against Galeem is still holding up. We are clear to land.”
Both fleets acknowledged and began the landing sequence.
After atmospheric entry, everyone landed and the two fleets met each other. There was a lot of hand and hoof shaking that went on for at least two hours before Flurry started laying out the plans for the battle against Galeem.
“We will combine forces and use the power of balance, friendship, and harmony to win against Galeem. He will learn that light cannot be present at all times. Darkness must be present 50 percent of the time of a day.”
Everyone yelled back in agreement to what she had stated for the plan. Flurry decided to cast a vote for when the battle between them and Galeem would take place and everyone decided to get up at dawn the next morning to launch and enter the battlefield in orbit. Loud bells rang to wake everyone up the next dawn.
*GONG! GONG! GONG! *
When everyone heard the bells, they raced to their ships and began taking off. After breaking through the atmosphere, all pilots opened their wings before Flurry even gave the order, which pleased her greatly. They knew that the wings had to be set in attack position whenever going into battle. It was time to finally throw some sense into Galeem. Once he was visible on their radar, the pilots armed their weapons and got into battle formations.
As both fleets proceeded towards Galeem, they opened fire and started taking down his defenses. Galeem was used to battling against the Harmony Fleet, but the Disney Fleet made the battle even more intense, since he was battling by himself. All soldiers made sure to have their shields set to maximum so that Galeem’s light energy attacks would not do any damage, and they even used special reflectors to send some of his attacks back at him.
“IMPOSSIBLE!”, yelled Galeem in rage as his attacks were deflected back at his ship.
After battling for two and a half hours, both fleets were able to force Galeem backwards into Equus’ atmosphere. His ship was not designed for atmospheric entry, so he had to eject before the Starstriker crashed.
Once it was confirmed that this had become an air battle, everyone switched to their aerial targeting after reentry. Galeem sent out an army of ghosts shaped like right hands, called Master Hands, but the two fleets had prepared for the worst and took them out in a matter of minutes until a single shot from Mickey’s ship struck one of Galeem’s multicolored bands, shattering it.
Striking this band weakened Galeem slightly and made him more susceptible to the fleets’ attacks. They fought valiantly and finally sent Galeem falling out of the sky and plunging into the Celestial Sea with a *SPLASH*.
Once everyone had landed, all of the soldiers started hugging each other, giving high-fives, and preparing to celebrate their long awaited victory. However, just as the celebration was starting, there was a loud *CRACK* of lightning. Looking through macro binoculars, Millie and Melody spotted a physical crack in the sky.
“Look there.”, they shouted to Flurry.
As Flurry Heart looked at the area, the crack widened and became an actual fissure in the sky. Inside this fissure was pure darkness. Black tentacles with sharp thorns emerged from this opening and an orb that was similar to Galeem’s appeared, except this orb looked more like an eyeball. The tentacles opened the fissure even more and ghosts that looked like left hands, called Crazy Hands, began coming out. After the soldiers shot beams of light to take out the ghosts, Flurry boarded her ship and flew into the fissure to confront the entity itself.
“Who are you and why are you here?”, she asked angrily.
“I am Dharkon, the embodiment of darkness and pure chaos. When you thwarted Galeem’s plan to take out all darkness, that was my cue to emerge and blot out all light in the universe.”, the entity hissed.
Annoyed by this, Flurry rolled her eyes. She had just stopped someone who wanted to destroy darkness, and now she had to deal with the opposite. This couldn’t possibly get any worse, not even by a long shot.
