The old chariot

There is a massive crowd on the USS Intrepid watching the sky there is a few booms in the distance coming from over the ocean. News Crews cover a portion of the deck while service men help put the finishing touches onto the stage.
The blue angels suddenly zoom overhead preforming a low break cross.
“This is so much more impressive in real life.” Twilight says in awe
“I haven’t seen planes that close to a building in a while.” Taylor says in awe.
“When was the last one you saw?” An older man dressed in veterans attire asks.
“Memphis Belle North Carolina. Though I didn’t actually get to see it.” Taylor says with a small grin.
“I remember that show. Ha! I also remember the mayors office complaining.” He says laughing.

Taylor turns around before giggling to herself seeing the older mans hat. Afterall it’s funny running into an alternate version of one of her crew.

“So Korea then?” Taylor asks

“So many people forget that war even happened.” The older man says

“Do you think that maybe if she ever came back she would hold a grudge against the Italians?” Taylor asks

“Taylor, Twilight we need to go prepare.” Sunset says

“It was nice talking to you.” Taylor says leaving to go back stage with Sunset.

==================
Back Stage the entire stage seems to be made of oil barrels and armor grade steel. If one were to look there’s also old turret shells around.

“We dont have a song.” Dash says in panic.

“You could always sing a sea shantie. I mean it’s obvious sabaton is gonna do Midway while Neal Diamond is probably gonna do America.” Taylor says

“How do you know that?” Twilight asks

“I have access to the internet.” Taylor says

“A’h know your not lying but something doesn’t feel right.” Applejack says

“When did you have time to use the internet?” Sunset asks

“I can float? I mean it’s literally magic. Or maybe it’s science so advance its indistinguishable from magic.” Taylor says with a smile.

“So what sea shantie are we doing?” Fluttershy asks

“You know Sea Shanties Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash asks

“If you think you were gonna leave me to join the navy then I was gonna follow you as a marine biologist.” Fluttershy admits shyly

“I’m thinking of rolling the old chariots along.” Taylor says with a smile.

=================
A few minutes later.
“Hello everyone! We are the Rainbooms!” Sunset shouts
“It took us awhile to settle on a song to sing and we eventually figured you would all like one you could sing along too!” Sunset says

“It’s almost like a harmony song.” Twilight mutters
“You’ve got a bunch of navy vets here. Sea Shanties tend to do that, in truth most ponies will join in on a sea shantie because it’s fun.” Taylor says

Not even a minute into the song the rainbooms begin to glow like they are going to pony up. Before there is a bright flash on the stage as some stage props disappear. There is a moment of silence.
A girl around the same height as Taylor appears wearing rigging.

“That looks like.” Twilight says looking at Taylor

“This world probably has a version of me she just hasn’t been summoned yet.” Taylor tells Twilight quietly.

“I’ll explain later, Luna already knows my full story.” Taylor says

“Fine.” Twilight says

“Who said we should stop!” Taylor shouts walking onto the stage.

“A drop of Nelson’s blood wouldn’t do us any harm!” Taylor sings

The singing is resumed by everyone.

By the end of the song there is another flash as a second girl with larger rigging appears.

“Thanks for singing along everyone. With that before we continue I would like to introduce the USS Nelson! A greaves class destroyer. And this one here!” Taylor says wrapping her arm around the other ship girl.

“When did she grab the microphone. I mean I thought only I could do stuff like that.” Pinkie says

“Is only a veteran of the greatest raid of all. The one who sacrificed herself to keep the Tripitz out of the Atlantic. So tell me USS Buchanan, how does it feel to be known in naval history as the ship that was the literal bomb in operation chariot?” Taylor asks handing the microphone to Buchanan
“Well, I actually delayed the bomb a bit to allow as many Nazis to get aboard as possible. Did we win?” Buchanan asks

“I get you served under the British for a bit, however you need to remember the sleeping giant that America is.” Taylor says giggling a little.

===================
The rest of the day went well.
Sabaton ended up summoning Hornet. While the United States Navy band playing anchors away at the finale summoned the USS Constitution.

‘Huh? Radar contacts?’ Taylor thinks looking into the distance.

“Hey!”

‘Miniature zeros? Just share it with the ships that have a CIWS system. Try to be discreet though they don’t need to know I’m here.

Suddenly all the ships in the bay start to play a siren.

“Incoming incoming incoming!!!”

“I think it’s time we left a fight is about to start.” Taylor says

“Right! I can’t believe the sirens are attacking New York.” SciTwi says

“Well we did just summon 4 ship girls. So…” Taylor says

Suddenly all the ships in Hutson bay empty into the sky.

“I thought modern weapons didn’t work against the Sirens.” Sunset says

“Maybe a modernized ship girl is sharing radar data with their CIWS systems?” Taylor says

“You know we just summoned 2 ship girls right… the navy is gonna want us.” Rainbow says

“Well, I’m hoping me and mom will be gone by then. Considering this isn’t my America I would rather not be forced to fight for them.” Taylor says

“Makes sense y’all’s from that other world. You should probably get home before they come looking for us.” AppleJack says
==================
Meanwhile at the center for naval intelligence.

“What the hell was that! The rest of our allies are demanding answers!”

“We don’t know sir, we just suddenly started getting radar information fed to our CIWS systems. It even knew our security codes.”

“Who was that girl that knew who was summoned before they introduced themselves.”

“Her name was Taylor. She talked to my grandfather who was a veteran of a ship with that name.”

“Well, once the Rainbooms go into witness protection and hopefully agree to get paid to preform and summon more ship girls we will find her. I mean facial recognition pulled up nothing.”

“Really the FBI was stumped by an elementary schooler?”

“The Office of Naval Intelligence is losing their shit over the fact our CIWS systems were apparently hacked. I mean the models that shared the radar data have been out of service for 6 years.”

Suddenly the door slams open.

“Sir Buchanan confirmed that the girl who talked to her was a ship girl!”

==============
Back with the Rainbooms and Twilight by the mirror at Canterlot high.

“So what are sirens? And how did you summon those ship girls.” Twilight asks

SciTwi hands Twilight a folder of information.

“I wanna keep talking about this but you’ve got 4 hours at most.” SciTwi says

“One and a Half. Apparently they are deploying a seal team to watch the town and protect you… I didn’t know the seal teams were trained in… wait why is the CIA using navy frequencies?” Taylor asks aloud

“Yep you all need to get going now.” Sunset says

“I’ll write you what I discover about this. I’m also going to talk with Taylor here about what is happening with this weird shipgirl magic.” Twilight says

“Thanks for coming Twilight.” Sunset says hugging her.

“And it was nice meeting you too Taylor.”

“Make sure to write and try to visit whenever you can shake your tale.” Taylor says

“It’ll be a bit.” Sunset says with a shrug.

Twilight and Taylor go through the mirror waving goodbye to the Rainbooms.

Author's Note:

I didn’t want the Equestria girls world to be the main point of the story. The point of this arc was mostly to force Taylor to open up about her past with someone besides Luna.
