ScarFox9700, would you mind if I joined the fight? I haven't had a good fight in Eons!!!

Hello Hewolf,
and I think that we're good for the Zebras, HOWEVER, that isn't all. A handful of Caribou will escape justice, including Danin and Sgt. Dothan, and will come back to cause a lot of trouble in this story's sequel. They will also be joined by their NEW allies. Our mortal enemies from the battlefields of WW6, back from the dead, and ready to avenge their defeat upon us! Can you guess who they are?
I know that we're going to need some help with that fight! So stay tuned to help with that!

Well, at least the extermination of the Zebra Empire is imminent. I can't wait to see them beg for mercy as they get decimated. The other two empires are just delaying their imminent demise. I'm looking forward to this story's conclusion and the sequel.

Hello redstars45,
And yes, the total annihilation of the Zebra Empire is indeed imminent. And they will beg for mercy, but their pleas will fall on deaf ears.
However, the Imperial Alliance was only made up of 2 empires, the Zebras and the Caribou. The Zebras broke away, and thus the alliance collapsed. The other groups, the Griffon, Minotaurs, and Diamond Dogs, went rouge from their home nations, and joined the Alliance. However, they are more like mercenaries, as they are just a handful of individuals. Also, 95% of the Diamond Dogs were lost to a bunker-buster missile at the Battle of Las Pegasus that collapsed their tunnels. The remainder fled for their lives, never to be heard from again. This only leaves the Griffons and the Minotaurs. The ones allied with the Zebra are as good as wall decorations. The ones allied with the Caribou will last, even if only for a little while longer.
Truth be told, this story will actually have 3 sequels. The first, "Beyond the Express", will be a shortish story covering a period of about 11 years as the crew of the Battleship Express struggle to adjust to civilian life after the war ends. The next sequel, "Battleship Express: Back in Action", is all about the return of the Caribou, and their attempts to conquer Equestria. However this time, they are joined by the not-so-dead Futas! Our brave defenders fight their old foes once again, in a life-or-death struggle, now known as WW7. The final sequel, (at least for now), will be "Battleship Express, Hour of Reckoning." This will be the most intense, of all of the stories. This time, after the defeat of the Caribou and the Futas, The survivors now face the greatest challenge of all time. A new enemy has arisen. Felicia Day and the Matriarchal Empire, Malcolm X III, and the Black World Order, Empress Jasmine of the Futa Empire, as well as the new heads of the revived Zebra and Caribou Empires, have all teamed up, and declared war on not only Equestria, but Earth once again, and all of the Multiverse. All of our old enemies from World Wars 3-7 have returned, and this time, will not be defeated. Standing against them, are the Battleship Express, it's crew, Big Boy Battalion, Equestria, America, the rest of Earth, and even, Empress Demetria and her offshoot of the Futa Empire, and even a number of Caribou and Zebras! This is it, WW8, the war to truly end all wars, and will decide the fate of the entire Multiverse!
This is all I have planned for now, and some of the ideas for the 3rd sequel may change as I continue writing the stories before them. Anyway, I'm glad that you're enjoying your read, and hold on, as the total war against the Zebra Empire is about to begin!
Send in the drones and gunship first, have a sniper on a pod and pick off all the guards one-by-one. The second defenses come out, mow 'em down with the drones and the minigun.

Hello Asid_Ink,
And don't worry, we did! The Zebras and their allies didn't live to regret the day that they pulled a stunt like that! Appaloosa was destroyed, but it would be rebuilt. A few Zebras would survive, but their doom was certain! They lost the battle, gaining only 4 of the EoH. THAT however, would be the BIGGEST, and LAST mistake that they would ever make! You make a war with Humanity personal, you WILL NOT live to see another sunrise!

Hello Shadowgod3211,
And you're close. That night, nobody died, but a few days later.............Well, I'll just let you keep reading! But prepare for death unlike ANYTHING that the Zebras have EVER seen!
The most dangerous thing on the planet. ( chuckles darkly) a human being with a score to settle.

Hello midnight_frost,
And yes, there's nothing truer than that! The Zebras are about to learn this lesson the hard way, and it could EASILY cost them everything!

Hello Trixiecat,
And yes, we Humans are quite terrifying indeed!

Hello JensenDaniels32,
And don’t worry. VERY soon, the Zebras WILL get their just deserts, and nuking will follow shortly thereafter!
I find it difficult to believe they couldn’t teleport in, grab them, teleport out but.... plot

Hello Ravencell,
And yeah, I can see where you're coming from. The short answer is that the Zebras had anti-teleportation runes preventing this, accompanied by the good guys had no idea where exactly they were being held. If they miscalculated, it could cost the hostages their lives. It was just easier to go in and save them. (And admit it, teleporting is just WAY too easy. We need some good combat scenes instead!)
word of advice when needing to hurry with a steam engine, use the term 'balls out' this is referring to the governor, see a video explaining here

Hello Jimerjam,
And thanks for the advice. In the heat of the moment, I guess that Don forgot about this fact, and no one bothered to correct him.
oh he did, better get ready Zakia, cuz Big Boy U.P.F.C (United Panic Fuck You) is a-comin',
Probably a bit late here but...
2 hours from the train wreck until the BE managed to arrive on site, and after a battle that shouldn't have lasted more than an hour, their train is 1,500 miles away... so this thing can go 500mph?

Hello Solana Vin Neighpal,
...........And you're right. Math was NOT my strong point in school, but you're right. However, their may be an explanation here. Perhaps the prisoner train took a route that was shorter to its destination in Zebrica than the route that the Battleship Express took to Appaloosa, or maybe the Zebras had Magic to teleport the train closer. But if not, then you might just have to suspend your disbelief for this. Just a bit
10480684
1,500 miles away is 1,500 miles away. As in a perfectly straight run, the shortest shortcut possible without dabbling in magic or quantum physics, would be 1,500 miles. A roughly 24 hour trip for the BE. So if the zebras have magical means of moving that much mass that far in that short of time, SOMEBODY has been dropping the idiot ball for the entire war. That would be "gamebreaking" stuff.
10480767
..........Crap. Well, like I said before, math was NOT one of my strong points in school, and I did pretty badly with it. Though yet, maybe this train was indeed Magical in how fast it could go. Though why was it never seen again you might ask? Well, there's 2 possible explanations. 1. It was used in the war by the Zebras, but was later destroyed in one of the many battles where the Battleship Express destroyed a Zebra city, including the infamous nuking of the rest of the Zebra Empire just before the Battleship Express turned their attention to the Caribou. Or 2, as you'll see later, the train was used again to send certain high-value prisoners to King Danin in the Caribou Empire, and then it was used by the Caribou for the rest of the war in their empire, however, due to them lacking the means to keep the engine in good working order, it's Magic failed, and it was soon little more than a regular engine and train. Eventually, the train was all worn out, and sitting outside of a freight depot in the Caribou Empire, where it was commandeered by Leopard and other soldiers with him to use as a transport to get to the important Battle of Dock Town. (This happens later on in the story. This train was held onto by the crew of the Battleship Express, who later call the train "Battle Glory", and it serves alongside Iron Glory running freight on the Equestrian railroads when not on display at the Imperial War Museum. (The Imperial War Museum doesn't come into being until this story's sequel, "Beyond the Express"). So Leopard and Co never knew that Battle Glory was really the prisoner train that hauled Dash, Pinkie, Applejack, Twilight, Cole, Dan, and Cpl. Davis to Zebrica, and later to the Caribou Empire. This is actually a pretty good theory for where Battle Glory actually came from, as I did have Leopard tell Dash in "Beyond the Express" that while the train was found in the Caribou Empire, it seemed to have been Zebra in origin, or perhaps was stolen from Equestria.
10480784
Lol, honestly it would probably be easier to change the 1,500 to 200 than come up with some backstories as to how it could have happened. Change that, and "nearing its destination" to "well on its way to <destination>" and problem solved
10480821
I could do that. However, as you'll see later in the story, the distance between Appaloosa, and even the border of the Zebra Empire, never mind Zebrica, is way more than just 200 miles. The actual number won't be disclosed, but it's big.
Though creating back stories for seeming insignificant things is how my mind works. Battle Glory exists, but yet her origins are unclear. Maybe this really is where she came from, only she wasn't Magic, just an ordinary, rundown locomotive that eventually became Battle Glory
Yup, Leopard's urge to skin them alive and drive them to extinction CONFIRMED.

Hello Agni_Blizzard,
And that’s both true, and the understatement of the year. As the Zebras are about to learn, Leopard is a force of nature that they are NOT prepared to handle!
I hope discord is on the humans side in this war
10680681
Hello Sinewystatue382,
And Discord doesn’t appear in this story. Why not? Well, for some reason, it never crossed my mind to include him when I wrote the story. I assume that he’s in his Chaos Realm, but I don’t know what he’s doing during the events of this story
Is it 2 or 3?
11823748
I'll say it was 2, since that's what I said it was first
And fixed them
