*Hydra Bridge*
Trixie and the purple mare were engaged in a stare off. The crew on both sides were tensely waiting for either mare to blink or make any indication they're still alive.
Finally after what felt like an eternity the two mares grinned at each other.
"Good to see you again, Captain." Trixie said smugly.
But the purple mare donned a smug look of her own making Trixie flinch.
"That's Admiral to you, Captain." the mare replied crossing her arms leaning back in her seat.
Trixie growled but held on to her grin trying to save face.
"My apologies, Admiral." she said through her grinding teeth. "I was not aware of your promotion."
The Haymaker shook as the green ships made their way towards them. The Admiral grinned looking at her blue friend.
"I'll let you grovel at my hooves later Trixie." her ship shook a gain. "For now we battle."
"See you then Admiral Twilight."
The view screen went blank briefly before showing the green ships flying in formation around the two ships but kept their distance. Trixie took her place beside Octavia, scanning to see her crew around the bridge. They each gave her a knowing nod, ready to fight and defend the ship.
Trixie made sure to get Lt. Claws attention before hand. "Ready all weapons. We're engaging the enemy."
"Aye Captain!" he said powering all weapons. "Ma'am the ion cannon is still down!"
"Irrelevant! We'll see to it that those ships were destroyed and we're heading home." she declared.
The Hydra and the Haymaker both came to life in an instant. The two ships flew side by side heading straight for the two enemy craft. The two green vessels broke apart flying outside the two equine ships. Their disruptors firing at nearly pointblank range as they skimmed the surface of the ships.
The Hydra and Haymaker returned fire dealing little damage to their assailants. Seeing they were doing little damage both the Haymaker and the Hydra began to focus fire on a single craft. That did the trick. As the two ships came around for another pass, the Haymaker took point at the front of the Hydra and flew close to it firing a volley of bolts from its disruptors while the Hydra followed up with a volley of torpedoes. The onslaught made lucky contact with the enemies ships main reactor forcing them to turn and flee.
For a brief moment, Trixie entertained the idea of destroying them, but decided to let them go. The Admiral however had other ideas. The Haymaker loomed over the craft firing another volley from its main batteries and disabled the ship while the other cloaked, no doubt to retreat.
But the Haymaker circled around the fleeing ship left behind, shooting out its main engine preventing it from escaping. Just when Trixie thought it was over Octavia called to Sunset Shimmer.
"Lt. Shimmer, scan that vessel get as much as you can on it, and its crew."
"Aye ma'am!' and with that the mare turned and worked on her console.
She just initiated the scan when the Haymaker fired on the ship rupturing its outer hull. Suddenly the ship emitted a general distress call which hit the Hydras Communication officer, Lyra.
"Captain!" the mint green unicorn called out, "The vessel is sending a distress call signaling their surrender!"
"Good, whats the condition of the Haymaker?" Octavia asked.
Her answer came as the ships console beeped and Claw saw first what was happening beyond the ships hull. The Haymaker circled the first ship firing an endless barrage until it exploded into a cloud of debris. Before anyone could react the Haymaker turned on the other ship and destroyed it. The crew watched stunned as the Haymaker destroyed the ship slaughtering everyone without mercy despite signaling their surrender.
Before anyone could react, Trixie was out of her seat rushing for Lyra who was thrown from her seat as Trixie took over her station. A quick few button presses later she signaled the Hyamker and moments later Admiral Sparkle Appeared on the main view screen with her smirk. But Trixie held onto her anger as she stomped over to the view screen with a murderous look.
"What the hell was that?!"
