Namasaki is a super Yamato, a part of the fog thats on a mission. during the mission he was suddenly sucked through a portal. only a starting story, dont expect the best. Celestia/luna X OC. only constructive critisism please. this is my first story
Changing the story a bit, I'm going to make Namasaki into a different ship because my friends wouldn't shut up about it. Namasaki is now going to be an A-150 class super battleship. if you don't know what that is, look up the A-150 design. The reason being because the arrangement for the Tone was a little awkward but I digress: Namasaki is a A-150 class super battleship who is tasked with destroying the port city of Yokosuka, but as his escort Mogami and him suddenly come under attack from I-401 and the blue fleet, Namasaki is suddenly taken to the world of Equestria. In this new world he will make friends, find love, and fight some powerful enemies. But he is a Fog, what could go wrong? -Does include Celestia and Luna X OC like other version, I am in need of editor and cover art. Namasaki's ship colors will be the same as he was with the Tone but different ship as I said earlier.-
2050 Location: Unknown A-150 Super Yamato Class Battleship Nickname: Namasaki
Namasaki was currently floating through space and time, with no hope of return. And he knew it as well. For since he was one of the last remaining Fog to ever exist, he knew what had to be done. But what he wasn't expecting was to end up here, flying through some kind of vortex faster than the speed of light, from what his sensors could tell, and fail his last mission. And he knew that his mission was something that his kind had to make at last minute to help win the war. Since Gunzou had transported the vibration warhead to the Americans, the entire war changed. None of the southern patrol fleet for the Americans saw it coming. The vibration warhead was something new, something the Fog had to fear. From what he could tell, as Namasaki was told by the remaining ships, the warhead itself could destroy a Fog ship in one blow, if it penetrated the klein field of course. The battleship Montana learned that first hand. Everyone felt her death since all of the Fog were connected in some way but since Namasaki is one of the admiralty code, he felt her death on a bigger level. But it was a year In the past. Since then, the war had drastically turned in the favor of the humans. But the only thing that Namasaki could focus on at the moment, since it was more relevant, was that last battle. All he felt was anger and sorrow for he had lost on that fatal hour.........
2050 50 Miles east of Yokosuka Fleet of Fog: East Attack Fleet 7
-KRACKOOOM!- an explosion is heard from miles away as the Japanese guided missile destroyer Kongo is nearly ripped out of the water as a hull buckling explosion runs along the deck. Namasaki, A-150, and his escort cruiser Mogami, are on their way to the port city of Yokosuka.
"Hn..." The raven haired mental model Namasaki sighed, thinking.
"That wasn't much of a fight. Even with the vibration warhead, they are still relatively weak......Mogami, scan our sector for any more hostiles."
"On it. You know, these humans can surprise you. Even though you are the youngest of the entirety of the Fog, I've heard that these beings can put up a fight. Especially with those vibration warheads we keep hearing about." The other blonde haired mental model said walking up. Both ships were sailing side by side now, and were powering down their guns after the engagement.
"Yes but that was because of the fast battleship Kongou losing control of her emotion drive and betraying us along with those of her fleet. We cannot let that happen to us. Especially since we nearly lost to I-401 and her crew the last time we worked together. Since then, humans have become more of a nuisance....." drifting off, Namasaki thought he saw something over the horizon slip into the water but decided to let it slide as his warning systems hadn't gone off yet.
"-Sigh- If you say so Nama...." Mogami said with a chuckle. " Also, I'm detecting no other ships writhing a five mile radius of us. There is nothing out there...... yet"
-sigh- "Mogami, don't call me that, you know how I hate that name." Namasaki said in slight annoyance while turning to his escort. Looking back out over the waters, the two Fog warships were coming up on the destroyer sent to attack them. Without even thinking about it, Namasaki drove his ship through the wreckage of the destroyed sea craft, knowing everyone on board was already dead. Looking to his escort/sister, as Namasaki and Mogami had been working together before for a long time, they were like family to each other, Namasaki was about to say something about their current mission when suddenly he got an alert on his radar:
"Understood. Redirecting Klein Field." And sure enough, the 3 torpedo's that were supposed to hit Mogami only hit the field of black hexagonal squares causing them to detonate, doing no damage to the ship. It was then and only then that the two ships ships of the blue fleet came into range. Mogami then started going into engagement mode. But as she was doing that, Namasaki held his arm out and stopped her. Before she could voice anything out, he simply stated: "Don't. I want to try something before we openly engage them. And sure enough, as he said that, he activated his communications system and set it to contact Iona, the mental model for the I- 401, but not without activating his own weapons so they wouldn't be caught off guard.
2050 47 Miles of Yokosuka I-401 and the blue fleet 5 minutes ago
Sighing, Chihaya Gunzou sat in his chair, thinking about todays mission. When they had left Yokosuka, he was told that their mission was to stop one of the remaining Fog attack fleets. He knew within himself that the Fog were steadily losing battle after battle but they wouldn't stop fighting. Because of this result, Gunzou and his own small fleet were forced to keep fighting while carrying the new experimental torpedo that were just created. But since they were just built, he only carried a few for the off chance his corrosion torpedo's were needed more. But, wanting to get on with the mission, Gunzou turned to Iona and gave out his order:
"Iona, what ships are we going to be fighting?" Getting the needed information, Iona sat there for a second before pulling up a screen and showing the mission specifics to the human crew and Fog battleship fighting with them.
"The mission is to stop two Fog ships from breaking through the blockade and attack the port city of Yokosuka and the surrounding areas."
"Thank you Iona, now I only have a slight problem with what little information We have: and it's the fact that we don't know who the Fog sent for the battle. Obviously they must be highly skilled and capable warships to be doing this alone so that must make them a battleship cla-" before he could even finish his statement, Kongou came up over the screen that Iona pulled up with strange and surprising news:
" Gunzou, we have a problem..... I sent a drone to see what we were facing and you're not going to like it."
"What do you mean Kongou?"
"Well, when the feed from the drone came in, this is what it got:" And sure enough, the feed of said drone suddenly came up on screen showing two ships. As it came into focus though, the sight of the ships alone caused Takao to nearly faint from the sheer size of the flagship. The ship (Namasaki) was a large white ship similar to Yamato, but bigger. Running the weapons through diagnostics, they found out that the large super battleship had bigger caliber main battery than Yamato and Musashi. The sight alone drove great amounts of fear into the small fleet.
Seeing the unrest among his crew, Gunzou decided to speak up and calm them before all hell broke loose.
"Regardless of what the enemy is sending, we have to take down the Fog ships before they do any type of damage to Yokosuka." And as he said those words, he saw out of the corner of his eye, kongou launch three corrosive torpedo's. Not wanting to feel left out, Gunzou was about to tell everyone to prepare for battle when he got a transmission from the large warship. The transmission saying that the next battle did not concern them and said that they should just turn back. This angered Gunzou greatly and he ordered everyone to attack, with Kongou to launch the first. Which consisted of a missile as long as the barrels of her guns to be sent at the mighty warship.
2050 Back to Namasaki
Backing out of the communications, Namasaki then went into full combat mode. When the contact went haywire, he never saw the missile that Kongou fired. Thus leaving him with little to no time to react. Turning his main battery to his port side while turning starboard, he wanted to get as much firepower on Kongou as possible. Even though Mogami's main batteries couldn't do much to the fast battleship, Namasaki's guns could. He then though of surrounding the fast battleship and firing at her with everything that they had. Getting back into focus, Namasaki had finished turning his guns to train on Kongou when he realized something: I- 401 had disappeared. He set his scanners at maximum range and tried to focus in on any energy he could find underwater but couldn't find any trace on the blue sub. Giving up on looking for the ship, he returned most of his focus on Kongou, leaving just enough to detect when I- 401 started attacking, and fired his guns. His initial shells were a little off course so he could set his guns up completely but after he had, he fired with deadly accuracy. Doing the same, Mogami and Namasaki both started to rain fire on the lone battleship as she did the same. The battle had lasted for almost an hour with both sides firing shell after shell, missile after missile, and torpedo after torpedo. Of course it all had to come to an end at some point, and so it did. As Mogami was setting up for another torpedo run with her launchers, she suddenly was stopped dead in the water by a wall of blue electricity. Frantically turning around, she started to look for the reason of the interference. But as she turned to look to her right, She noticed two thing almost instantly:
1. I- 401 was back above water and on radar again 2. The submarine was setting up for an attack with Iona's super gravity cannon.
Turning back around, Mogami yelled a warning to Namasaki and told him to evade, to which he did almost immediately. Then, looking at I- 401 again, The heavy cruiser Mogami started diverting her fire at I- 401 to throw off her aim or stop the ship from firing the super gravity cannon. She had also put her engines at maximum level of output, trying to break free of the cannons grasp. But it was only in vain, for as her third and final salvo had bounced off the submarines klein field, the ship fired it's super gravity cannon and all time seemed to slow down for her and Namasaki. As the beam of highly condensed energy neared her ship, Mogami gave up on trying to escape, she only turned to her flagship/brother Namasaki and looked at him one last time. Letting out a silent "I'm sorry," the beam hit her and broke through her klein field almost instantly. Within a second, the beam sliced right through Mogami's deck and instantly shattered her core, killing her. As the super gravity cannon beam died down though, The wreckage of what remained of the once proud ship sat there, before it too detonated, shooting debris all over the water.
Namasaki could only look on in horror. Witnessing his escorts death had shaken him to the core ( no pun intended ) and made him drop to his knee's. the resulting explosion weakening his klein field to almost non existent with him being so close. Upon seeing everything go wrong almost instantly, Namasaki began to lose himself to the alarming amount of rage he felt himself fill up with. And upon this, he began to lash out with everything he had at the two ships that caused it all. he fired not only normal shells out of his main guns, but also transformed them into their laser cannon state and fought tooth and nail against I-401 and Kongou. but even with all of this happening, I- 401 had already started to charge up its super gravity cannon again. Seeing this, Namasaki started to attack even harder knowing that his klein field wouldn't take a direct shot and most likely go through. As a last resort, Namasaki charged up his own super gravity cannon. but when I- 401 fired, Namasaki was forced to fire as well. Since his SGC was not fully prepared like I- 401's, Namasaki's beam looked even more warped than when Kongou had absorbed Maya and the others. And because of this, when the two beams collided, the resulting explosion was humongous. Even with being so far away, I- 401 was heavily affected. But the one who was damage the most was Namasaki himself. The explosion tore through his klein field like a knife through butter and heavily damaged his ship. A fire was started on the left side of his ship, his hull was buckled and a large hole had appeared on the rear. Heavy flooding had started and his deck was severely damaged in several spots. Namasaki himself was in worse condition, for since he had a real body as a mental model, he was hurt pretty badly. During the initial explosion, he was hurled thirty feet back and slammed into the command tower. Upon impact with said tower, he broke three ribs and his left arm.
Crying out in pain, after he landed back on the deck, he slowly got back to his feet and glared at the two ships he was fighting. As he got up, he also began to notice the alarmingly large pool of blood that began to spread out around him. As he was about to prepare his SGC to fire again though, there was a sudden crash of lightning. Looking to the sky, he saw not a cloud in sight. But as he looked back to the two ships he saw some kind of rip in front of him and his ship. And as it started to suck him in, he frantically threw his engines to full power in reverse. But, as before, it was in vain. As soon as his ship started to move at all, the entire ship was lifted out of the water and pulled into the tear, and as soon as this happened, it closed up leaving the crew of I- 401 and Kongou stunned into silence.......
2050 Present time Location: Unknown A-150 Super Yamato Class Battleship Codename: Namasaki
With a sigh, Namasaki only sat on the ruptured deck of his ship, thinking about his escorts death and the battle that had ensued. As his anger was still cooling, he had already started repairs on his ship and himself. The ship itself was very hard to fix as he was very limited on nanomaterial supplies and had to use them only for the more major repairs. The first thing he started was the hull of the ship itself. With all of the hoes and the buckling, he was forced to break his body into several pieces, fix them individually, then put them back together. It took a few minutes but when he was done, the hull gleamed like it did when he was first awoken. Continuing on, he then went to the engines. The engines themselves had been destroyed almost beyond repair when he tried fighting the force of the portal but gave out wen he was sucked through. Looking at their condition, he was happy to at least know that all he had to do was fix the outer casing of the engines and some minor inner components. He sent the needed nanomaterial's and watched as they all glowed a burning white before going to their respected places and filled up the cracks and holes in the engines. Moving onto his next job, he started on his number 3 turret. During the fight, he had taken a shell from kongou that had somehow penetrated the armor lined weapon casing and caused the guns within to blow up. The ending result was a darkened turret who now had thought it would be fun being open topped with the guns being bent and split on the inside. He sent the needed supplies but had to cut it short when he realized that he was running out of nanomaterial's. Turning to his nanomaterial generator, he sent the rest of his available nano's to fix the machine. It took quite a while to do it but once it was done, he activated it. Once it was online, he had it make enough nano's to heal most of the damage his body had taken before shutting it off again.
Using the new nano's, he fixed the broken bones within his body and repaired the rupturing within his major organs. Once that was done, however, Namasaki barely had time to sit down before he was interrupted by the bright flash of light and a loud bang before the area of space in front of his ship suddenly lit up to blinding brightness. He was about to turn away before the space like portal around him sped him up and threw him back into his number 1 turret. He kept gaining speed before the white light enveloped him and his ship, taking him to a new land.
Time: Unknown location: Unknown A-150 Super Yamato Class Battleship Admiralty Code N Codename: Namasaki
As he came out of the portal, his ship body was slammed into the ground by gravity, creating a very loud boom as well, and slid for a few hundred feet before coming to a stop a hundred feet outside a small rustic town. Namasaki himself was thrown from the deck when he came out of the portal. he also slammed into the ground and was thrown about like a leaf in the wind with all of the rolling and grinding into the ground. He came to a stop just beside of his ship. He laid there for a moment before doing a brief one over on his body and got up. Once he was standing, he jogged over to his ship and jumped aboard to get his bearings. What he saw was really surprising and nearly caused him to stumble off the tilted deck of his ship before he caught himself. About few hundred feet from his ship, there was a little rustic looking town but the town itself hadn't caught his attention. What did were the inhabitants: They were all multicolored mini-horses.
Literally, all of them were from three different races, from what he could see on the deck of the ship, each a different color, age, height body build, etc. They were all different from each other. They all began to run around until they noticed him and his ship body, then they just grouped together and sat there. He could've swore he heard whispering but passed it off to the fact that he was exhausted and running on his energy reserves. However, after a minute of just standing there, a small group of about six of the mini-horses broke off the main group and cautiously walked up to him. Looking at them, he took notice of all of the emotions that were running on their faces. The purple unicorn, he know this from the ancient myths back on earth same for the pegasi, had a look of fear and curiosity, the cyan Pegasus had a look of what looked to be anger, don't know why, the orange normal mini-horse had a look of suspicion, the soft yellow Pegasus had actually passed out when he turned his attention to it, the white unicorn had a look of shock and what he could only guess was astonishment at his clothes? Anyway, looking at the pink normal mini-horse, he had only seconds to look at her with that big smile plastered on her muzzle before she jumped in the air and literally took off faster than his sensors could follow. That was quickly short lived as the purple unicorn walked up and surprised Namasaki by speaking in clear English.
"H....h...hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle....... Are you ok? Can you understand me?" Namasaki could only look at her, the voice was clearly female, with wide eyes for a few seconds before doubling over in pain. Looking at the condition of his body, he noticed that he had damaged several parts of his body. Voicing it out, the purple unicorn caught on quickly as to what happened before taking off towards the large group of mini-horses, Namasaki fell to his knee's.
"Damn, that fall must have damaged me more than I thought......" and with those last few words, he fell onto his back and passed into the land of unconsciousness. The darkness wrapping over his mind like a warm blanket.
A Few Minutes Later Date: Unknown A-150 Super Yamato Class Battleship
It had been a few minutes later, by Namasaki's count. When he had passed out from pain and exhaustion, he had separated his core from his body and into his other body, guess which one, when the "Ponies," as the one known as Twilight Sparkle had been talking about, when they were transporting his body. It was a slightly laborious job, he observed, as the little equines had to bring a cart hooked up to a large red normal pony before they loaded his body up and transported it to what he could guess was the hospital. He would've spoke out to them too leave his body on the deck of his slightly listing ship, as his nanomaterial's could do a better job of fixing his body, but he was too low on energy and nanomaterial's to do so. Wanting to generate energy faster, Namasaki transported his core up to the bridge, locked all of the doors and activated the class A security measures. Said measures meaning that all windows and all access points into the bridge were closed off, vents included, and the surrounding small caliber anti-aircraft weaponry were activated. When the turrets bounced up and started swiveling, Namasaki moved his attention back to the ponies, who had seen the entire process, and waited for their next move. Ignoring them for a second longer, again, he also activated his energy recharge stations. These stations were basically his missile silos, on the rear of the ship, opening up but instead of missiles, they had different charge faces built in for helping recharge his reserves faster. Turning back to the ponies again, he waited for their response. He didn't have to wait long however as after about 10 seconds, the cyan Pegasus snapped out of the trance it was in, from the security measures, and grew a very dark frown before flying very fast, almost too fast for him to track, into the door that lead to the bridge. She was quickly followed by the other ponies, the six that walked up to him as the main group left, shouting a very panicked "Rainbow!" before the pony now named Rainbow impacted against the door. The ring of her head colliding with the heavily armored metal rang out for a few hundred feet before Rainbow, who was comically stuck to the door, slid down and landed on the upper deck, unconscious.
Before the others could react Namasaki, who sighed while doing it, quickly created a solid hologram of himself, meaning he could touch and carry things, and walked up to the unconscious pony. Bending down, he picked her up, the white coding running down his body spreading to and healing the pony, before carrying Rainbow to her friends. When he reached them, her gently set her down before relaying a message.
"She is healed and will be unconscious for the next few hours. I suggest you don't let her do anything for a day or two as she left a sizable dent in the door to my bridge." Looking at the assembled group, he was about to turn around and walk away before the purple unicorn stepped forward and spoke up.
".....Thank you......?" looking at him questioningly, he sighed heavily before replying.
"Namasaki, I am the mental model body you just carted away to the hospital." his calm reply calmed down the mare, for she was quite nervous at talking with him, and she started talking with slightly more confidence.
"Mental model?"
"Yes, for this ship. I am the ship itself but I created the mental model body so I could study and live among any race I come across, though your race is what I was last expecting," Whispering the last part. "Especially considering the war I have just escaped...." However, his statement was barely caught by Twilight and before she could press, Namasaki walked away. When Twilight opened her mouth to talk to him, he half turned, ( AN: to partially look at her with the shadows covering his face but his soft glowing eye's, you've seen that look) and cut her off before she could make a single sound.
"I am in no mood for questions. Bring my body in the morning so I can use it once more and I will talk to your countries leaders then, understand?" When Twilight nodded her head, Namasaki turned back and kept on walking, when his hologram got to the wall it faded away in a flurry of coding before leaving the surrounding area in silence.
Twilight's POV
Quickly bidding the girls goodnight, I ran back to my tree house to find Spike. It only took me about half a minute of galloping before I burst through my door and ran up the stairs and into my room. Looking at the little basket by the wall, I quickly ran over and began to wake spike up. While I didn't like doing this, as he always works hard and needs his sleep, I needed him to send a letter to the princess about the new arrival of Equestria so she could determine if he was friend or foe. When he was awake enough, I began to explain the situation.
"Spike, I need you to send a letter to the princess! It's urgent!"
"Huh.... what do you mean urgent?"
"Were you woken up by a loud boom earlier?"
"Yeah, but I passed it off as Rainbow Dash crashing again."
"Well, that isn't the case...... You see, that loud boom was a new creature coming through some kind of portal."
"A CREATURE?!?"
"Yes and I need to send a letter to the princess! I need her to help determine if Namasaki is friend or foe!"
"Namasaki?"
"The creature."
"It has a name?"
"Spike, stay focused."
"Right," Grabbing a quill and feather, dipping it in an ink well, He looked back at Twilight and awaited for her to start.
"Right," -Ahem- " 'Dear Princess............."
3RD PERSON POV Namasaki
When the small group of ponies left him for the night, he quickly scanned through the data of all databanks that were currently stored on his ship for any and all information about the place he was currently at. He looked through everything, ranging from battle tactics to what someone was going to do for fun on their day off. He looked through everything but couldn't find anything about this place. His anger mounting, Namasaki created his solid hologram again and punched a hole through the wall on his right. He hated not having information about places, especially when he was there and trapped. It left him feeling vulnerable.
Letting his anger cool, Namasaki fixed the hole in the wall before sitting down in his captains chair. He sat there for about an hour listening to all the sounds and lights from the different machines and screens showing all the data he collected. Standing up, he shut off all the systems that were on in the room, the ones with data, and dissipated his hologram. Once that was done, Namasaki had him and his ship enter what he could guess was sleep mode as he didn't function until he was woken up by his alarm system after a set time. After taking a look at his security measures, he gave a nod and dimmed his systems to the point where he entered his sleep like state, the memories of losing Mogami and others of his kind ringing through his mind the entire night.
The Next Day A-150 Super Yamato Battleship Code: Namasaki
Namasaki was awoken by the alarm system he had set to wake him up after about four hours of sleep. Getting to full awareness, he activated all of his systems and reanimated his hologram body before walking over to the windows that were around the bridge. When he got to the nearest one, he shut off the security measures that guarded the bridge. However, when the metal shield that covered the window went up, he was shocked to see that hundreds of the ponies had flocked around his ship and many that were wearing lab coats were walking along his deck, studying his weapons and armor. His anger mounting, Namasaki blew out the water-tight door to his right before jumping out and landing on his number one turret with a loud boom. When all of the had their attention on him, his body covered in what looked like white fire, he yelled at them.
"WHY ARE YOU ON MY SHIP?!?" The volume of his voice itself shook the ground slightly and caused the battleship to list even more to the right by about an inch or two. The ponies themselves were quaking in fear and many that were wearing golden armor suddenly surrounded him while pointing spears at him. Taking defensive measures, Namasaki had his small caliber AA guns and his dual purpose 127mm secondary's aim at different guards and even at the town itself. He was about to fire when a voice called out.
"STOP!!" This voice carried almost as much power as his did as it also sent the battleship listing to the right by another inch. Spinning around to the body belonging to the voice, Namasaki was surprised to see one of the ponies, who was taller than the others and about as tall as him, land on the deck in front of him. the mare had both wings and a horn and had white fur with a soft multicolored mane that seemed to be slightly transparent and flow behind her. The new arrival only looked at him before commanding the guards to lower their weapons if Namasaki did the same. Once his weapons were depowered, some even giving off hissing noises as the were in photon cannon mode, He jumped off his turret and walked up to the mare and stood in front of her while giving her a cold stare.
They both sat there sizing each other up for what seemed like and hour, but was probably a minute, before the pony in front of him broke the silence.
-Ahem- "Hello Namasaki, I am Princess Celestia. I formally welcome you to Equestria."
"So that's where I am?"
"Yes. I was contacted by my student Twilight, whom I believe you have already met, about your arrival and some of the following events."
"yeah..... my arrival was less than..... pleasant to say at the least......Anyway, do you have my mental model body healed? I would've done the same last night but I had didn't have the energy nor the resources to do so." The princess put her hoof on her chin in thought before brightening her mood and began to talk.
"Ah yes the bipedal body my ponies carted to the hospital. Your body is healed and ready."
"Thank you, could you bring it here? I would like to be out of my hologram form and into something actually solid." A few seconds after he said that, The princess looked off to the side and nodded her head. After a minute, a small group of scientists walked up with his body once again within the cart. When they presented it to him, he quickly phased into the bridge and grabbed his core. Phasing back out onto the deck, he had the body placed in front of him before what he did next.
Looking at the body, Namasaki wrapped his core in a fist before shoving it into his mental body before him. This action brought out nearly the same reactions from many of the towns residents. Many, who had a line of sight, saw the blood from the action and began to lose the contents of their stomachs all over the place. Those who didn't have a line of sight, when told, immediately felt sick to their stomachs. The princess looked at Namasaki with slight anger mixed with a little green before watching Namasaki's next action. The next thing he did was connect himself to the body once again through his core. To the others, all they saw was him suddenly flickering before small bits of his hologram started to come off and fly into the chest of his body. As this was going on, the light from his connection getting stronger was getting brighter and brighter until most everyone had to close their eye's from the bright white light. When the process was finished, the brightness suddenly went out and when everyone was able to see again, they all saw Namasaki in his full health glory, his hair slightly flowing in the wind as it ruffled his hair. His soft golden eye's panned the crowd in what seemed like cold indifference before they flashed with an unknown emotion before he turned away. Walking back along his deck, Namasaki was about to phase his ship to the nearest body of water before Celestia spoke up.
"Excuse me Namasaki, I would like to personally invite you to the castle for I have a feeling we need to have a talk about your arrival. If you want to, we can leave now and return within a few days with this ship still intact." As she whispered that last bit, she thought she had gotten away with saying that until Namasaki whirled around while glaring daggers at her.
"And just what do you mean by "Intact?" The princess back peddled a bit before regaining her composure.
"I mean I will have my scientists study it and see if we can find anything useful."
"You will do no such thing to me."
"To 'Me?'"
"Yes. I am the very ship we are standing on. I can control everything from the guns to little things like the temperature. You will do no such thing to me while I am still here to control it. If I catch word or even see anyone on my decks without my consent I will attack first and ask questions later, Understand?" This caused the princess to narrow her eye's at Namasaki before speaking with a hint of venom in her voice.
"I am trying to protect my subjects Namasaki, And if it means studying how your ship and everything on it works, then I will do so." Growling, Namasaki glared at her with more intensity.
'I understand that you are trying to protect them but I will not be some.... guinea pig for your damn experiments. I will not allow this and to make sure of it-" Namasaki raised his arm in the air before his hand suddenly glowed in a white light before the ship did the same "I will transport it to a disclosed location." With his hand still glowing, Namasaki activated his phasing powers once again and large chunks of the ship began to break into little bits of cubes and what not before flying to Namasaki, who had jumped off the deck with the ponies, and circled around him. When all of the ship was flying around him in bits, He lowered his hand to the east and sent the pieces flying to the ocean. When they were nearing it, Namasaki pulled up a screen of the progress before beginning the process of finding a hidden spot where the water was deep enough. When the pieces had landed and reformed his ship, Namasaki sent the screen away before turning back to Celestia.
"Alright, now we can go to your castle." This snapped the princess from her moment of shock before she turned back to him.
"Ye-yes.... Let's. Guards, bring a chariot for me and Namasaki for the trip to the castle." When the guards did bring the chariot, Namasaki looked at it skeptically.
I don't think I will want to ride in that. I am made for the sea and sometimes land, not the air. I will just make a path myself." As he finished his sentence, he waved his hand in the direction of the castle, which he could clearly see on the side of a mountain, before a path of blue hexagonal shapes appeared in what looked like a never ending staircase.
"You go ahead princess, I will catch up." And when the princess got in the chariot and took off, Namasaki bid the residents of the small town he was in a brief farewell before taking off along the path. His departure leaving the residents staring at the warship built in the past but made for the future.
I was currently still running towards Canterlot, as the princess told me the name of the city on the mountain. What I had originally thought to be a half hour trip to the castle had actually taken longer than I thought. I was still running along my path that I created out of my klein hexagons. To my right, the princess' carriage had some how caught up to me, probably when I had to increase the angle of my path which slowed me down a bit. Looking back ahead, I was still counting the amount of time it took me to get up to the castle. So far, I had counted around 45 minute's. Apparently the distance from Ponyville to the castle was far longer than I guessed. Either way, I was still nearing my destination and was about to jump down to the courtyard when I was suddenly tackled from behind. This happening, I was thrown from my path, which disintegrated when I was no longer on it, and down to the courtyard 20 or so feet below me.
As soon as I had landed, I immediately spun around on my hands, throwing the one who tackled me off, jumped and landed on my feet, materializing my weapon as I did so. You see, all Fog get to choose a weapon of their choice when they are awoken. While we had the option to choose any weapon, ranging from fire arms to swords and spears, we always stuck to the basic weapons. When I chose my weapon, I was actually stuck on what to choose so I combined both of my top choices. This resulted in me, currently, spinning around my double bladed staff. I then pointed the weapon at my attacker who was actually one of the guards who wore the golden armor. When I realized who it was, I went into a slightly more calm stance before the princess of the day would get here. It seems everything here is trying to kill me in one way or another. I shall tell the princess of her mistakes when we get thi- However, before I could even finish my thoughts, I detected Celestia walking up from behind me. Turning to her, while keeping my staff trained at the guard who tackled me, I gave her a small smile before putting my weapon away. When she asked as to why I had a weapon trained on her guard, I gave her my simple answer:
"Oh, that. Your guard decided it was a good idea to tackle me from my path to meet you at the castle, as I know you were watching. Of course I materialized my weapon because I felt threatened. And if I feel threatened, I will retaliate."
"But did you have to scare my guard? You could've just came to me and I would have settled the matter."
"Yes but where's the fun in that?" Wiping the smirk of my face I sighed, deciding to move on, I said. "Anyway, I will forgive your guard for now but if it happens again, I will not hesitate to attack." As this was being said, I gave the princess and the guard who attacked me a look of annoyance before quickly hiding my emotions behind my natural blank look. Turning fully to the princess I decided to address her again.
"Anyway, with that out of the way, I want to get this meeting over with. I don't feel like being away from my body for too long as it might be slightly more vulnerable to attack." When she heard this, Celestia turned to me and gave a slight nod while flashing a smile and we continued on our way. Of course with me walking slightly behind her through the castle, it was inevitable for some of the sentries to suddenly surround me before Celestia would intervene. Once we got to the throne room however, I was meet with no resistance. The only person in the throne room itself was another alicorn like Celestia but smaller and blue. When said sun princess walked over and sat on her throne, I merely walked halfway through the room to stand in the center of it. Looking up at both of the princesses, I waited before Celestia began with the pleasantries.
"Well, time to get this started. Namasaki, this is my sister Princess Luna. Luna, this Namasaki, a "warship" from a different world." When she said the warship part, she brought up her hooves and did the quoting motion. While I was slightly glaring at Celestia, my golden eyes making her very uneasy, Luna decided to ease the tension.
"It is nice to meet you Namasaki." Looking at her while wiping the glare off my face, I simply gave her a blank stare and responded likewise. Looking back at Celestia I asked her if we could speed things up so I could hurry and get back to my ship.
"Of course Namasaki, I want to know why you want to stay here instead of going back to your world."
"Ah, that. Well, where I came from, I was at war with a race known as humans. To which my body is modeled after, with my own input of course. As to what I am, though I told you I need to tell princess Luna as well, I am part of a race known as the Fog. We are an old race of technical computer programs that have the ability to have feelings. We were created as weapons for the admiralty code to fight." Finishing up my little speech, I looked at both of the princesses, who had a look of shock mixed with disbelief. When Celestia asked for me to prove it, I simply gave her a dead panned look before deciding to speak once more.
"Really? I already showed you my powers over the ship earlier in the little town and now you want me to show you again? Fine, I can show you how my basic weapons work. However you will need a way to get there as I can just phase to my ship."
"Me and Luna can teleport all of us there, it will be faster than going by normal means." As she said this, they both got up and stood to either side of me. Horns glowing, we were all enveloped in a golden and blue hue as we teleported. It was a strange experience to say at the least. It felt like I was flying and falling at the same time. When we reappeared, I nearly fell to the deck of my body. Throwing my hands out to stop my fall, I stopped myself from hitting the familiar wooden deck of my ship body. When I regained enough control of my mental model, I began to stand up. When I did, I looked at the princesses who gave me a concerned look before I waved it off. Walking towards the conning tower, I jumped and flipped through the air, softly landing on the heavily armored turret that housed some of my main guns. Turning around, I decided to get the whole situation over with so I could monitor the systems of my current state.
"Alright, so you want me to show you that I am of the Fog and can control this ship." when the princess nodded, I gave Celestia a smirk before activating my first stage combat levels. This brought a ring of patterns around my mental model while I looked out over the ocean.
"Alright, I'm going to fire one of my main guns housed in the turrets that I'm standing on." Before Celestia could ask what a gun was, I cut her off.
"While I could explain what a gun is in detail, I don't have the time. In short words a gun, or main battery in my case, a gun is a weapon that houses a projectile in the chamber. When the gun is fired the hammer is launched forward striking the back of the shell and igniting the explosive powder within. When that happens, the pressure is too much for the bullet or shell to stay within the casing and is shot out of the barrel towards the intended target. That is how my guns work except instead of a tiny two to three inch long bullet, I am firing 510mm armor piercing or high explosive shells." During my little explanation, I commanded my turrets to turn to the side and face the open ocean, away from any and all land masses. When I asked if the princesses were ready, and they said they were, I gave them an early warning lest they go deaf from the guns firing.
"Okay, before I fire the main batteries, I need you to cover your ears because these things are pretty damn loud." That being said, I waited for about half a minute before they both conjured up earmuffs. Once they did that, I began the process of loading my guns. The sounds of clicks and metal sliding on metal filled the air with a constant whirring sound. When they gave me the ok, I connected myself to their minds and spoke to them from there.
"Ok, I know this is a little intrusive but you won't be able to hear me when these things go off, even with the earmuffs. I need to know if you are ready for this. Are you still ready?" When they both gave me confirmation, I gave them a simple "Ok". When I heard the familiar click of the guns being ready to fire, I fired the guns. When the smoke had suddenly blasted out of the barrels, we all felt the loud retort of the massive guns I was blessed with for battle.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
Firing my guns in intervals of turrets, I had to pass on turret number 3 because it was still in somewhat critical condition, I noticed that the ship itself had moved back a couple of feet in the water, throwing the two princesses off balance. Looking proud of my ship I began to think about myself and my weapons. I always loved hearing the sound of my 510mm boom when they fired. To me, it represented my will to fight and need to help other of my kind or those who needed it. When the guns stopped spewing smoke and the noise had died down, I turned to Celestia and Luna, both of which had taken their earmuffs off already. While we waited for their hearing to return, I deactivated my stage one combat mode and activated my passive mode while bringing up my ships current state so I could look them over. While I was checking to see if everything was optimal, which it was, Both Celestia and l=Luna looked at me with a face of wonder and slight fear. When I finished my check up, I turned to my left and sat there waiting for the princesses reply:
"Well... that was not what we were expecting. And you said that these were weapons?" When I nodded my head, she continued: "Hmm, well then I'm going to have to ask you to not use your ship in any way regarding these weapons when in my country.'
"very well." When I said this, she looked at me with a bewildered expression.
"Wait, you're not going to object? At all?"
"If it's what must be done then so be it. I am here for peace not war."
After saying this, we sat there for a few hours talking about what the terms for me living in Equestria were. Turns out, I had a pretty clean slate. I was allowed to live in the castle as long as I wouldn't use my weapons on her subjects. I agreed since if I was ever attacked I could use my staff. We talked well into the night, I got to see Luna raise the moon which confused the hell out of me so they had to explain it to me. Huh, they control the sun and the moon. What an interesting prospect..... Afterwards we all teleported back to the castle in Canterlot for some well deserved rest. We talked for a while again, some jokes were thrown in, until it was too late to stay up as my energy reserves for my mental model were getting low. Voicing it out to the princesses, they led me to my room, which was just across from Celestia's for some reason, and opened the door. As I walked into the room, Celestia spoke up from behind me.
"Namasaki?"
"Yes?"
"Although you were brought here under some harsh conditions, I hope our differing species can become friends." When she said this she had a sincere smile on her face before I gave her one as well.
"I hope so too. Since I was awoken, this is the first chance I can finally live in peace. I believe this will finally be what I've been looking for. Thank you." Bidding the princesses good night, I walked over to my bed, spinning around while materializing some sleepwear on, I climbed into bed and settled down for some sleep. looking out the window to my left, I sat there studying the stars before closing my eyes for some peaceful sleep.
One Day After Awakening Time: 6:15 A.M. Location: Canterlot Castle A-150 Class Super Battleship Code: Namasaki
Opening my eye's, I began the process of waking my body up. While I don't need to sleep, I do it to make myself feel at least a little bit normal. Standing up, I looked out the window to the slowly rising sun and began my daily duties. Doing a spin in place, I simply materialized my more casual clothes rather than my suit. Said casual clothing consisting of a white shirt with the markings on my ship, a pair of white shorts, a pair of light blue running shoes and a black jacket with the zipper halfway unzipped showing off my shirt. Once I looked presentable, I brought up a screen that showed the current situation with my ship body. I began to look over all the engine and weapon systems to make sure they were al ready in case it was suddenly attacked by opposing forces. Once that was done I made the screen disappear and sat back on the bed, intending on waiting for Celestia to fully raise the sun so I cloud join them for breakfast. However, after a few minutes I quickly grew bored and left my room, seeking something to do. I was walking down one of the many hallways, I took the time to study all of the nice décor of the castle. From the mahogany tables and benches to the vases and banners with the sun and moon paintings. I enjoyed it all, even though I highly doubted it, I wished the same could've been said for earth. Thinking about the war, I kept walking. Not for once even realizing that I had walked outside and into the royal gardens, or what I thought they were for they were still very nice.
Once I got myself back into focus, I walked up to a tree and sat underneath it, staring out at the setting moon with the rising sun to my back. As I sat there, I kept on thinking about the war, again, and that last battle with I-401 and Kongou, remembering as how time seemed to slow down in Mogami's last moments. As I continued to think, still staring at the almost set moon and unaware of my surroundings again, I didn't notice both Celestia and Luna walk up from my right. While I was still lost in thought, they both sat down near me and studied my features. For even though I was skinny, I was far from being too skinny and had a decent muscular build for a being that lived most of my life at see. They sat there staring at me and studied my face, which was devoid of emotion, from my angular face to my silver hair and my soft golden eyes. My hair was currently swaying slightly in the gentle breeze and was blowing in and out of in front of my face. Still sitting there thinking, I was remembering how the war was suddenly turned against us with the introduction of the new weapon. As I sat there reminiscing, I unconsciously whispered out:
"Where did we go wrong? All we wanted was to live in peace...." While I said this very quietly, both Celestia and Luna, with their better hearing, caught it and looked at each other with looks of sorrow before turning back to me. When I snapped back to reality, the sun was already out whereas the moon was gone, having already set to the other side of the world. Returning to awareness, I suddenly snapped my attention to the two princesses, causing them to jump slightly in alarm before calming once more, and looked at them with a sorrowful face while they stared at me with the same look. sighing before taking a deep breath, I decided to break the small silence that hung over us while flashing a small smile.
"Good morning princesses. How are you doing this morning?"
"We could ask the same about you Namasaki." Looking back out into the distance, I once again gave a heavy sigh before standing.
"I don't know anymore. But as with I have always known, I need to keep going. No need to stop now. Now if it is time, we might want to head to breakfast." Nodding their heads in agreement, all three of us, except me for I already was, stood up and started to make our way to the dining hall. On the way there, I could feel Celestia and Luna looking at me while we walked. Not paying them any mind, I kept going and let the princesses push ahead. As I fell behind, I waited for the mares to sit in their seats before sitting next to them. While I was taller than them, I felt humbly surprised to know that the chair I sat in fit me and held strong. Looking straight ahead, I waited for the chefs to bring out the meal until a unicorn with a white coat and blonde mane walked in fuming about how his nice restful sleep was interrupted by a maid that woke him up for breakfast. Before he was about to sit down, he suddenly looked in my direction, then at Celestia before asking in a VERY posh voice:
"Aunty, why is there a hairless ape sitting at the table and not in a cage at the zoo?" Narrowing my eye's at him, I was about to make a retort before Celestia put a hoof on my shoulder before turning back to the stallion.
"Blueblood, this is Namasaki. Namasaki, this is Blueblood, my nephew. Now, Blueblood, Namasaki is not a 'hairless ape' he is a sentient being form distant lands and is to be treated with as much respect as a noble or royal, Understood?"
"But aunty, why should I respect some..... thing that doesn't belong here? It is not a pony nor a noble here in Canterlot." Seriously what is with the names of these places? "It should leave and never return before I call the guards." Looking at her nephew in surprise, then anger, Celestia was about to scold him before I cut her off by holding up my hand. After she stopped, I lowered my hand and stood, glaring at the so called "prince" in the eye's. I sat there for what seemed like a few minutes before I brought my darker side out. My hair turned into a jet black, my eye's doing the same. The darker part of my being changed my face into more of a greyish shade before I spoke to Blueblood, my voice also being affected and sounding highly demonic.
"You seem to think that you are in a higher position than me 'prince" practically spitting the word, I continued. "Well you are wrong. I have more power than you think, even more so than your aunties together. I have enough power to destroy those on this planet with the flick of my wrist. But I won't. You want to know why? Because your aunties have given me something that I have never had since I've been awoken. They have given me the chance to live my life. I have the first chance to live in peace and I'm not going to let a little runt like you ruin this for me. I am not going to attack you in any way, though words may count, but I expect you to change your ways, lest you want me put do it for you. Understand?" Growling out the last part, I watched as blueblood nodded furiously before I flicked my hand, sending a blast of air that sent him flying out the dining hall door. Which the door slammed shut after him
When he was gone, I returned myself into my normal form, with the same clothes as before, and once again sat back down next to Celestia, who was staring at me, Luna as well, in shock. Looking at them, I simply asked them if we could continue to wait for breakfast before Celestia shouted out.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?!?" Looking at her in with a raised eyebrow, I simply gave her a blank look and answered.
"What was what?"
"What you just did!"
"Ah, that was something I rarely do. It is a transformation that drives fear into my enemies when they so much as look at me. It gives me an enhanced processing power so I move and think faster."
"Did you have to do that? I was about to handle the situation!"
"Don't worry about it. I know that he will change his ways." Sighing, the princess gave up trying to argue with me.
When the food arrived, Blueblood was nowhere to be seen. Good. And everything returned to normal. As we ate, me eating a small amount of pancakes with some fruit, Celestia decided to start some small talk.
"So, Namasaki, what are your plans for today?"
"Depends."
"On what?"
"Depends on what I want to do. I will spend the day at my ship, doing a few more repairs, as I only fixed the more serious ones, and after that.... I don't really know. Probably just sit and enjoy the day."
"That's all?" when i nodded, she added: "Then you won't mind if Lulu tags along won't you?"
"Tia!" "Eh, I don't mind." At saying this, both looked at me in surprise, Luna more so than Celestia, before I was questioned.
"Really? Because I will be really busy performing some royal duties to do much today."
"Yeah, I don't mind," turning to address Luna. "Just stay out of the areas I advise you to stay out of okay?"
"Okay."
"Then you will have no problem. You will actually have some fun since I am situated on the ocean, you could swim if you wanted. I sure will, can't waste a nice day like this." That being said, I stood up from the table and began to walk away. When questioned, I simply told them that i would be at my ship and for her to meet me there. dematerializing my body once again, I transported myself to my ship body and began on the repairs that were not so serious. While I had fixed most of them on the way here, I only fixed the ones that would give me problems like holes and bends in the ships hull, as well as the number three turret. While I have extensively used my nanomaterial's to upgrade my ship, it still had the same amount of armor on the deck and hull, to save weight. Looking at my ship, I counted all four of the photon cannon turrets, along with the massive array of anti air and sea batteries. You see, while it is allowed to upgrade your ship body as a Fog it is mostly frowned upon, I don't know why, among the other ships. Those of us that did upgrade ourselves consisted of me, Mogami, Tone, and Agano. Of course while we were slight outsiders amongst our brethren, we were the most powerful fleet when we were all together. Of course this all changed when we lost ship after ship to the vibration warhead. When that started to happen, Yamato split our strike fleet up and put Tone with her fleet and Agano with Hiei. This left me and Mogami in what remained of our fleet. So because of this decision by Yamato, who was the leader of our race at the time and I don't know why, Tone was sunk when she was sent to patrol around the Philippines and Agano was sunk trying to escort Bismarck from the English channel.
My train of thought was interrupted when there was a white flash to my right and Luna appeared. As she stood there, I turned to look at the conning tower of my ship and continued on the repairs. Looking back at Luna, I noticed she was standing next to me and watched in silent amazement. Smiling at Luna, I turned back to the front and finished up on my repairs. When I was done, I checked all of my secondary and made sure that all of them were in working order before shutting off the systems and checked the time: 10:54 A.M. sighing to myself, I had Luna follow me to the bridge. upon entering, I sat my chair I had personally designed by nanomaterial's. Once I sat on the chair, I created one for Luna to sit in and asked her what she wanted to do.
"What I want to do?"
"Sure, I have no plans and you are here for the day. if you want to do something than we will do it. So what do you want to do?"
"I honestly don't know. do you have anything that we can do?"
"Well..... I do have one thing we can do but a warning: it might be terrifying at first but it will be the most amazing experience so trust me okay?" that being said, Luna began to freak out at what she thought I was implying, and by slightly freak out I mean she sat there blushing like a fool with lude thoughts running through her mind. When I noticed her, it took me a few seconds to understand what she was thinking about. When I did figure it out however, I had to reprimand her.
"Hey, that's not what I meant! Get your mind out of the gutter! What I meant was that we are going to go below the surface of the ocean and take a look at everything." When she heard that she shook her head and walked over to sit next to me. Looking out the window at the ocean, I ran through the process of starting my engines up. Hearing the familiar sound of my massive engines power up with a low growl before turning to a loud hum, I smiled and told Luna to sit down.
"You don't want to stand when this thing gets underway. The last person, or Fog I should say who was on my decks, Tirpitz I believe, was literally thrown to the deck when my ship lurched forward as we went underway for a mission."
"Ah, that is something I wish to talk about Namasaki, you have never talked about those of your kind while here."
"I don't see a reason on why I should really, most all of them are already dead and I have no chance to contact those who are still floating."
"That may be so but I want to know about those of your kind."
-Sigh- "Fine, what do you want to know?" Turning to Luna she was about to say something when the ship suddenly lurched forward and turned to the right, heading for open ocean, and nearly threw her out of the chair she was in. Chuckling, I walked back to my chair before sitting down and motioned for Luna to continue.
"Anyway, I want to know who was in your "Fleet" as you called it."
"Well, there were hundreds of us, maybe thousands. Not all of us were designed to have a mental model though. Those who didn't had some sort of A.I. core in the bridge that controlled the ship as a mental model. The ones who had mental models were those who needed them to help protect our cores and make better use of our processing power."
"Care to name a few that did?"
"The more major ones included me, Yamato who had two mental models, her sister ship Musashi, Bismarck, a nice ship by the way, reminds me of Maya, Tirpitz, Kongou, Hiei, Haruna, Kirishima, Yamashiro, Fuso, Montana, Iowa, and any other ship that was a heavy cruiser class or bigger."
"Some of those names sound oddly female."
"That's cause they are. You see, humans always called their ships with female terms and the others made themselves females because of it. I, on the other hand, was awoken as a male and am the only one in the Fog." Hearing this, Luna looked at me which shock etched upon her face.
"You are the only male!?!?"
"Yup."
"How would you..... y-you know..... make more of your kind?" Looking at her, I was lost at what she implied before bursting out laughing. I sat there laughing for a few minutes before wiping the tears from my eye's and answering her question.
"Wow, interesting question. To answer it we don't. We aren't born through biological means. We are created when a certain process happens that stirs up the seas followed by a beam shooting into the water, containing the core I believe, and the ship is built under water already air-tight. the ship is then risen to the surface and a two day process goes by while the ship creates a mental model or whatever we are. The process itself is what we call being "Awoken." Looking back ahead, I was told by my radar that we were coming up on water that was deep enough to fit me. Motioning to get Luna's attention, I warned to not freak out and that we were heading below the waves. When I turned to the water-tight doors, I waved my hand and put a klein field behind them to keep them closed. While doing that I brought up a screen and made sure all the other doors were covered in the same fashion before activating my submerging ability. While I was able to submerge, I had the same feelings as kongou did. I didn't like the fact that it left me open to attacks as I couldn't use my photon cannons but only my torpedo's and my super gravity cannon. Getting back on topic, I watched as the ship slowly dove with water shooting over the deck and almost immediately covering my guns with a wall of the fast moving liquid. Once the salt water was up to the window, I made the ship go into a deeper dive as to not let Luna have any time to freak out before she saw the wonders of the water.
Once we got to optimum level, I made the ship transform and move the bridge through the hull till it was sticking out the bottom like it was upside down. Once completed, I uncovered the dark hue on the windows, I put them up there so they wouldn't crack on the way down as the hue was just a shield layer, and led Luna over to the window. As she looked out, the small grin she had turned into a look of utter amazement within moments. Outside the windows, was a massive corral reef that stretched far beyond the eye could see, well her eye's really, mine were able to see further. And everywhere to be seen were massive amounts of colorful looking fish that swam in schools or alone, sharks, that seemed to be having a normal day. That was until my ship came up and passed them which threw them for a loop as a large 950 meter long battleship, Yeah...... I upgraded a lot....., came barreling past them at the speed of a fast battleship, which was about 80 knots give or take. Taking in the scenery, Luna was standing on my left as I slowed the ship down to a meager crawling speed before shutting down the engines and sitting on the floor. Admiring all the colors of the fish I didn't notice Luna come back to reality and notice me sitting right next to her. As we sat there, me staring out the window and Luna staring at me, Luna had a small hue of pink on her cheeks before slightly leaning on me, to which I noticed but decided not to comment. We sat like that for a while, at least an hour or two, admiring the view before the ship suddenly lurched to the side and shook like an earthquake hit. While Luna was nearly thrown to the floor, again though she was leaning on me, I immediately stood up and turned on my sensors and cameras that lined the outside of my ship to see what had hit us. Unbeknownst to me, I didn't see the tentacle fly into the window before it was too late and sent me flying across the bridge. Slamming into the far wall, I yelled out in pain before landing on the ground and telling Luna to hurry and strap herself into her seat. Then doing my process of getting up by pushing my hands underneath me, spinning while doing it. When I was standing, I ran over to the window only to see a giant eye fly by.
When it flew by, It was quickly then followed up by a giant undersea monster that swam to the front of my ship and floated there, staring at me. Looking at it in it's eye's, I quickly came to the realization that this may be a long drawn out battle. Upon realizing this, only one phrase came to mind.
Time: 12:47 Location: .5 Mi. Underwater A-150 Super Yamato Class Battleship
".....Oh........ Damn....."
At those words, another tentacle from the sea monster before us once again flew forward and hit the bridge at center mass. This caused the entire ship to shake and threw it a few dozen feet back through the water. I was nearly thrown across the bridge again but I had seen the monsters movements and had grabbed onto a random control panel on my left. Luna was fine for the fact that the chair she was currently strapped in was connected to the floor and was safe from detachment.
Looking at Luna I waited for confirmation if she wanted me to attack. She looked at me for a second in bewilderment before speaking out.
"Surely you don't mean to attack the creature, right?"
"That was kind of my intention. Look, I need to get you topside for this. I will hold the creature off long enough for you to get topside with my ship and get help alright? I may be a Fog but this monster is far bigger than my ship and I don't have enough energy reserves to fire my super gravity cannon. You are more important than I am, you are a princess and I am just a weapon of war." Luna was about to disagree but I raised my hand, effectively cutting her off. Sighing, I knew she would object to me fighting it alone. So, I took matters into my own hands and phased my staff into my hands. Taking a battle stance, I phased my body through the wall ahead of us. When I was in open water, I made sure my oxygen levels for my body were at optimal levels before bounding forward. It took me only a matter of seconds to reach the end of my bow. And when I did, I pushed off over open water and slashed the sea creature along it's face and down it's body. While I knew it wouldn't do very much to the creature, I only wanted to distract it long enough to get my ship topside so Luna could escape. While I did this, I simultaneously powered up my ships engines and had it ascend towards the surface.
However, before my ship body could make it very far, several tentacles from the sea creature flew past me and latched onto my ship before I could react. While I had very powerful engines, seriously they have to be powerful if I could stay caught up with kongou when she is at full speed, They themselves were still just fixed and weren't as calibrated after my initial crash into this new world. So without them being calibrated, they could only go to a certain power level before effectively shutting off. And that is what exactly what happened. As my ship body started to gain ground over the tentacles, there was a slight concussion blast before my body rocked backwards and the engines shut off. As soon as they shut off, my body began to fly back faster and slammed into the creature. This also caused the creature to let go of my ship but without my engines being effective, my body was pretty much stuck dead in the water. Well..... at least I can use some of my weapon systems. Though I would prefer to use my photon cannons, seems like I have to utilize what I got.
When I ended that thought, I swam forward toward the creature while opening my torpedo launcher bays along the sides of my ship. The small set of alarms within the bridge began to go off as Luna looked at the opening bay doors with worry. Ignoring her, I kept swimming towards the creature while prepping the correct torpedo's for the attack. The torpedo type I am going to use were Mark IV Belt Piercing Photon Torpedo's, They were a new model I had built that could actually cut through the reflective armor that even I currently carried. They were made to slice right through it before detonating several large fragmentation bombs within the ship, causing maximum possible damage. While I could've used standard torpedo's, I wanted to use my Mark IV's mainly for the fragmentation factor. Since the torpedo's could easily penetrate the creatures thick hide, the fragmentation would do the maximum possible damage to the creature resulting in a faster ending battle.
Getting back to the battle, I had swam in front of the creature and was now sitting in front of it's left eye. It stared at me in what I could only guess was absolute hatred. Huh..... no fear I can use against it...... seems I'm going to have to do this the hard way..... How will I distract it long enough for me to-
-SMACK-
The creature interrupted my thoughts by swinging a tentacle at me. I was hit in my lower chest area before being flung through the water and slamming against my bridge's window. The slam had slightly cracked the window, leaving Luna with another thing to worry about besides my health.
Prying myself off the window, I swam forward and began a dance of blades, with my staff, against the creature. I swam around it faster than it could react and stabbed, cut, and sliced tentacles off without taking another hit during that time. However, even with the amount of tentacles I was slicing off, there were still a lot more that replaced them. I swam through the water dodging a tentacle sloppily swung at me, then preceded to cut it off before making a attack run against the creature's head.
Coming up on the head, I swerved to the right to avoid the creature's massive teeth before promptly shoving my staff blade first into it's right eye. I was nearly caught off guard as the creature began to violently thrash around, nearly throwing me off in the process. True to my intentions, though, I coursed electricity through the staff and into the creature, causing it to thrash around even harder.
I sat there for a few seconds, pouring electricity through my staff, before I was suddenly grabbed by a tentacle. Said tentacle removed me from the creature's face and held me in front of it's only working eye. Damn..... this thing is pretty ugly if you ask me..... I was about to make another snarky comment but was interrupted when the tentacle began to squeeze. The pressure getting tighter and tighter until it was absolutely unbearable. Screaming out in pain, I tried everything I could think of trying to escape but it was no use.
Giving up, I decided to continue with my original plan of distracting it long enough for me to hit it hard with some devastating weapons. The torpedo's had been charged for quite a while and were ready to fire. Activating them, I heard the all too familiar popping sound before a semi loud -WHOOSH- flew right past me and impacted the creature on several parts of it's body.
-BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM-
The explosions were so large that the water had kicked up a lot of sand and sediments from the ocean floor below us, obscuring my view of the creature. The tentacle that was holding me let me go before slipping down into the thick cloud of dust and out of view. Good riddance. Now to get Luna back to the castle.
However, before I could get the engines up and running again, several tentacles rose up from the depths directly below the ship and covered many sections of my body. The action of the tentacle, however, also covered up many of my torpedo tubes and jammed several of my other weapon systems as well. This left me with nothing to defend against the creature with..... Well, everything except one thing.
'Ah..... I was hoping I wouldn't have to use it...." Luna only looked at me in confusion.
"Use what? Namasaki what has happened?" I could see the fear through her eye's. Sighing heavily, I decided to reply in a curt response.
"The creature has blocked my torpedo launchers and has jammed the other weapon systems. It is also dealing heavy damage to my body. It leaves me with no other choice but to use my-" I was cut off as my ship began to shake as if an earthquake had hit. Several screens suddenly appeared showing critically damaged sections of the ship before another larger shake ran through and the frontal forty feet of the ship was ultimately ripped off, leaving several of the frontal sections wide open to the flooding ocean water that ran through.
Yelling out in surprise, and slight pain, I immediately closed off the sections that were in the front half of the ship that weren't flooded yet. Then, when the flooding was under control, I immediately sent most of my nano materials to follow the ripped off section of the ship to retrieve it. I then transported Luna and myself to the backup bridge, that was towards the end of the ship just behind the number three turret, before activating my SGC, my ship shaking the entire time.
"Alright..... I'll only get one shot at this......" Taking the time to warm the systems up, Luna and I watched as the main bridge and the engine funnel glowed a bright white before splitting apart and revealing two large disc like objects. The main parts for my SGC flew up to the sides of where my main bridge sat before I activated my main ballasts to launch my ship to the surface.
When my ship suddenly went up, it got ripped out of the grasp of the creature before continuing to rise and hit the surface with an explosion of water and nano materials. As my body came to rest on the surface I ran out of the secondary bridge, not before telling Luna to stay in the room, and quickly made my way atop the main bridge of my body.
While my ship body was long, it was quite simple for me to make my way to stand atop the center sections of the main bridge. I usually chose this position when firing my SGC since with my bridge tower was not very wide, it helped offer a wide range of view since it was so blasted big. And so, sitting on the bridge, I waited for the creature to make an appearance while my SGC slowly charged. While I did have the largest SGC that a fog could possibly carry, excluding when Kongou merged her fleet and Maya to herself, it was not very fast in fire rate as it took several minutes to actually get to firing capacity.
However, I was interrupted from my musing when the creature did make an appearance by braking the water several hundred feet in front of my ship. But, unlike being underwater, I wasn't completely defenseless for when the tentacles came flying at my ship. Since I was above the waters surface, I could make full use of my main artillery batteries along with the secondary's. And as such, when the tentacles did attack, I fired everything I had to at least keep them away for the next few minutes as my SGC charged at an agonizing rate.
The other reason that my SGC was charging up slowly was to do with the battle against I-401 and the rest of the blue fleet. When I had fired my SGC before it was properly ready to fire, the unstable beam had slightly deteriorated the weapon itself, forcing me to be careful when I fired it. If I ignored the warnings, the weapon could reach a saturation point and most likely detonate from the harmful energy build up. This, in turn, would most likely kill me as my body would be heavily damaged to the point where I would have to sink myself if my union core wasn't already shattered.
Getting back on track, the loud sounds of gunfire continued to go off as every tentacle that was sent my way was ultimately destroyed or heavily damaged to the point of it being unable to be effectively used again. This lasted for a few minutes as shot after shot was fired, taxing my energies and my mental model to the limit with keeping up with the creature's attack patterns. When I did finally hear the signature of my weapon being primed to fire, all I had to do now was get the creature aimed up and fire.
That in itself was very tricky to do as the creature did everything in it's power to evade my targeting wall of white lightning. Said creature dodged and weaved through the lighting with an agility that surprised even me. When my surprise passed, however, I quickly changed things up and when the creature got to a new position, I instantly turned my front most turret towards the creature before firing off a full salvo from all three guns in the turret. This caught the creature off guard as all the shells found their mark and slammed into the creature's head, disabling it for the moment. The creature then roared in pain as it swung its head from side to side.
Taking the chance, I immediately locked it into place with my SGC targeting systems before waiting for the perfect time to fire the cannon. This didn't take long as the SGC systems all went into the green and let me know that the weapon was ready to fire.
As I activated the weapon and began to fire it, I was not prepared in the slightest for when Luna appeared right next to me, staring at the trapped creature in wonder. Looking at her in shock, I yelled to her.
"LUNA, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!" the noise from the SGC about to discharge was almost too loud for her to hear me but with her being next to me, she could barely make out what I said.
"WHY?"
"WHEN THIS WEAPON DISCHARGES, THE RESULTING SHOCKWAVE COULD-" I wasn't able to finish as my SGC finally discharged the energy build up into a large white and blue beam of gravitational waves were emitted in a beam heading straight for the creature who was helpless to do anything. The shockwave, as predicted, blew not only Luna back but me as well since I was put off from her sudden appearance. While we were both launched back, I saw the glass of the tower coming up to meet us and quickly grabbed Luna. When we hit the glass, it shattered and we went right through it. We flew to the far wall and slammed into it, me taking the entire amount of damage as I protected Luna with my body. The creature, when hit by the beam, uttered out a loud scream in pain before succumbing to its injuries and dying as the beam sliced through it's somewhat thick hide with relative ease.
When the weapon began to power down, the creature began to sink into the ocean depths at a rapid rate, leaving me and Luna in peace once again. I was far from pleased as Luna had disobeyed a direct order. When she flew into the room I was currently in, I tried to the best of my abilities to stand but ended up collapsing onto the ground. When Luna helped me to my feet, I limped out of the room and towards the main bridge, the SGC components were already put away and the bridge was okay to be in again.
When I walked into the room, Luna following shortly after, I waited until she was completely in the room before shouting at her.
"What the hell did I tell you!?" She only looked at me in shock before getting angry herself.
"What do you mean?"
"I told you to stay in the backup bridge! I had the situation under control!"
"I though I would help!"
"You do realize that I hadn't grabbed you from slamming into the wall, YOU WOULD BE DEAD!! I TOLD YOU TO STAY BACK FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY!!" Luna visibly shrank down at this and seemed to back off a little. I then had a flash of realization run through before the guilt set in. My glare fell almost instantly before I tried to make amends.
"Luna look.... I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to yell at you and I'm getting tired of having to kill. It's always been in my nature as a weapon and I have been used as one. I have always wanted to live a normal life but seeing as how that apparently can't happen no matter where I am..... It would be best if you left and go back to where your duties where you can live in peace." Saying this, I hung my head low before walking away and out of the bridge. I walked down the side of the bridge along stairs and such and continued to walk along my ship before finally sitting on the number three turret. I sat there staring out over the open ocean as the sun began it's slow decent from the sky.
I continued to sit there for about a few minutes before I heard hoof steps as Luna sat down behind me. Before I could say anything, she rested her head on my shoulder and watched the sunset with me in silence before she broke the silence.
"Namasaki.... I'm sorry. I should've listened to you and stayed in the room as you told me. It's just, I wanted to help out because you were willingly giving you life for me even though you have only been here for a couple of days. We barely know each other and yet you had your mind set on getting me to safety before dealing with your own problems. So I thank you for it. Although you were heavily damaged in the ensuing battle, I have already contacted my sister about the situation. She will be here shortly to check on everything. I do hope you can forgive me Namasaki..." And with that, she was about to get up and walk away but I cut her off.
-Sigh- "In all honesty, I should've looked after you better. There is nothing to forgive as it was my mistake for leaving you in the room. However, despite all the damage I took, you need to know that I am just a weapon. I should've learned a long time ago that things like me can't ever live in peace. You on the other hand, are more important than me. Although it may be true that I have only been here for a couple of days, you two have given me the one thing that I have always wanted since I was first awoken and put into battle: peace. You two have given me the chance to live my immortal life anyway I wanted. And as such, I am very grateful for it." Luna could only look at me in slight shock at finding out that when I was first awoken, I was instantly put into battle. But when the initial shock passed, she rested her head on my shoulder again and nuzzled me. My initial reaction was confusion and was about to voice it out before the sun princess suddenly appeared in front of us with what could only be described as extreme rage. And it was all directed at you know who........ Yup, it was me.
Time: 6:47 P.M. Location: Twenty Miles Offshore A-150 Class Super Battleship.
"NAMASAKI!!" Celestia suddenly grabbed me in her magic and began to throw me around as if I was nothing more than a simple toy. While I understood she was angry, I thought that she was overdoing this a little too much. I was thrown around and into several things, with Luna trying to calm her sister the entire time, before I was shoved into the side of the turret we were all standing on.
Before I could escape Celestia cast a spell that trapped me in place against the wall before she began to apply pressure like how the creature did against me. Screaming out in pain, for the second time that day, I began to feel several parts of my body begin to give into the extreme pressure it was being put through. Several bones within me, mostly my ribs, let out loud cracks and snaps as they broke. The pain was unbearable. I had my pain absorbers set to the maximum and I could still feel everything I was being put through. Another thing I noticed was that it was starting to become unbearably hot. Not like the normal hot day, no, it was like I was literally melting in lava. Must be a spell Celestia is using..... Hnn.... Damn.... I need to get out of this somehow..... Wait THAT'S IT.
With my quick thinking, I activated the EMP system I had stored on the ship. While it was mostly impractical against other Fog, it had it's uses against humans. However, I had the dilemma of which frequency I had to set it to for the princesses magic. The only problem with that was the fact that I don't have a clue as to what the frequency is..... Oh well....... Guess I'll just have to guess it......
Setting the EMP to a high frequency, I was about to fire it when Luna intervened by blocking Celestia's magic, effectively releasing me. Dropping to the ground, I laid there on the deck, groaning in pain for a few minutes while Luna and her sister had an argument. Ignoring them, I activated my healing unit and used the last of my energy, to be honest after firing the SGC..... it wasn't very much, and healed myself to the best of my abilities. As I continued to heal myself, Luna and Celestia continued to argue.
3RD Person POV
"Luna, he almost got you killed!"
"But he protected me didn't he? How was he supposed to know the creature was here? He knew the dangers of confronting that thing but still fought for me anyway! Even if the creature caught us by surprise, he was bent on keeping me safe no matter the cost!" Celestia only looked at her sister in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that he kept me out of the battle. I could've helped him but his main priority was making sure I was safe. The only harm I was in was a mistake I made when he fired his main weapon."
"......How would his cannons hurt you? Wouldn't they have to be aiming directly at you?" Luna only looked at me, I was still on my hands and knee's while barely having the energy to heal myself, before turning back to her sister and leading her away.
"He has a weapon bigger than either of us could imagine. Something he calls a 'Super gravity cannon' or something like that." Celestia looked at her with curiosity.
"What is this weapon capable of if it put you in danger?"
"The weapon fires a massive white and blue beam of energy that not even we can make combined. When the beam hit the creature we were attacked by, it..... shredded the thing and tore through it's hide with ease...... This weapon is even more powerfull than the elements, Tia..... I'm scared of it....." Celestia's eye's went wide with shock, a weapon that could overpower the elements? it seemed impossible but according to Luna, and the large energy residue, it had to be true..... A weapon that powerfull must be kept under wraps and must not ever be used...... I need time to think on this....
1st Person POV: Namasaki
While the sisters were talking, I had just finished my repairs on my mental model and, with the little energy I had in reserves, I sent the nanomaterial's to work on my ships hull as I had somehow forgotten to do so. Before I got up, I created a mini AI that would use the energy from the ship to watch over the nano's as they got their jobs done. Standing back up, albeit a bit wobbly, I looked to the royal sisters just as they finished their conversation. Walking, well..... more like limping and stumbling at the same time, I managed to make my way over to the princesses and propped myself onto the wall behind them. As they were looking over the sun setting, I broke the silence.
"Ok while the view is amazing and all, can we PLEASE get back to the castle? I am running on very little energy and am about to collapse from exhaustion...." Both of them jumped a little before turning to look at me in my horrible state. While my body had been fixed, my clothes were ripped to shreds, they still managed to save me my decency, and my face had a dark hue to it as I was running out of energy rapidly. Before I could collapse, though, both the princesses looked at each other before lighting their horns and teleporting us away, leaving my ship to sit on the once again calm sea as it was being repaired.
Canterlot Castle A-150 Class Super Battleship Namasaki
When we reached the castle, I noticed we had reached the throne room. Before I could say anything, I collapsed and was about to hit the ground before Luna caught me. Looking up at her, Luna only nodded at me before motioning with her head to the door. A clear indicator that she wanted to leave just as much as I did. Telling Celestia I would see her some other time, Luna escorted me away to my room. As we passed through the halls in relative silence, me not even bothering to look at the architecture this time, we kept walking for a few minutes before Luna spoke up.
"I wanted to thank you again Namasaki."
"What..... for?"
"For keeping me safe in the face of harm. For willingly giving your life to save me. And for being my friend."
"Ah... that..... well it's.... no problem princess..... Like I said.... I am merely a weapon...... it's what I was crea-"
"Don't even finish that sentence Namasaki. You are more than a simple weapon. You are a kind soul who had the misfortune to end up like this."
"Heh.... if only..... the whole soul thing...... was true....."
"What do you mean?"
"I am more of a...... computer program..... princess....... while I may be...... a soul....... I am more machine...... than anything else...."
"Well I don't believe that. I believe that you are a soul who has an unbelievable power. If anything, you are kind of like me and my sister."
"Ah..... okay...... there might be some truth..... in that......... however...... we are.... different in many..... ways."
"How so?"
"Where I'm from...... I was treated...... as nothing more..... than a monster....... even among many of...... my own kind...... heh...... kind of ironic really......." Before Luna could make a remark, we were standing in front of my room. Lighting her horn up, Luna opened the door to the room and led me in.
Walking towards the bed, I just plainly dematerialized my clothes, leaving my entirely intact underwear and don't ask how that works out, before crawling into the bed. Settling the covers over myself, I had my eye's closed and was about to fall asleep before I felt a shuffling next to me. Reopening my eye's, I nearly fell out of bed when I saw that Luna had gotten onto the bed next to me. She seemed to pay no mind, as she was busy raising the moon, to my sudden freak out and kept on doing what she was doing. Getting away from the edge of the bed I sat and waited for Luna to finish raising the moon before she looked at me. Her teal eye's were running along my face, taking in the mostly soft features of my face before I broke the silence.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why are you in my bed? don't you have night court or something like that?"
"No, I hold night court every few other days. The other days I usually just spend my time in the dream realm keeping the night terrors away."
".........The what?"
-Sigh- "Nightmare's Namasaki, nightmare's."
"Oh..... That still doesn't explain why you are in my bed, at all."
"I just wanted to spend some time with my friend." Luna gave me a sheepish grin that told me she was completely lying.
"Ok I think you ass just got jealous of how much shit came out of your mouth. What is the real reason your in my bed?" Luna only looked at me while I gave her an annoyed look. After a few seconds, she sighed heavily before giving an answer.
"I just feel safer with you near me after all that happened today. You went out of your way to defend me and even took the damage in my stead. And because of it I want to find a way to repay you for it." She looked at me with a depressing look that made me feel horrible inside, well as inside as I could get I guess. Sighing, I only laid back down before speaking up again.
"You know you could have just told me that in the first place. And about the whole defending thing, It's just what I was partly built for, I'm not just a weapon of war so you don't have to repay me in any way. My living in peace is enough. Anyway, if it makes you feel better, you can stay here if you want. I don't really mind it nor do I really have the energy to do anything about it." Luna could only look at me shocked for a second before shining a bright smile at me. She then eagerly jumped back into the bed, I hadn't even noticed she got out of it, and hastily got under the covers. Turning over, I once again closed my eye's and began to fall asleep before I heard Luna whisper.
"Namasaki?"
"......yes?"
"Thanks for everything."
".......No problem. Just following my programming."
"Also, I wanted to tell you something."
"......What?"
"You aren't the only one who was considered a monster." Before I could do anything, Luna grabbed me with her wing and held me close to her before touching my head with her horn.
The next I knew was nothing but darkness.
Dream realm A-150 Super Battleship Namasaki
Opening my eyes, I was nearly blinded as a bright light suddenly flooded my vision. When my vision cleared after a moment, I looked around to find the source of the offending light only to look up. The light that had blinded me had actually been the sun of Equestria.
Leaving my shocked state, I looked around to see if I could find Luna and ask her why she had brought me here. And of course, after a few moments of looking, I couldn't find her. Groaning in annoyance, I stood up and began to walk around the strange castle I had awoken in. I walked up to the door that was close by on my right. Opening it, I stepped on through and gazed at the old style décor that decorated the place. While I was admiring everything, I hadn't noticed the massive room I had entered until I was standing directly in the center. Looking around, I saw not a soul was in sight. Before I could call out to anyone, I heard a very familiar voice speak out behind me.
"Not another step!" Turning around, I looked up at the two thrones that were atop two small flights of stairs. As I looked at the two thrones, Luna suddenly walked out from behind of the throne that bore her colors. As she stood there, I slowly started to walk towards her before speaking out.
"Luna, when or where the hell did you bring me? I have never seen this place before. And what did you mean when you said that yo-"
"Did you really expect me to sit idly by while they all basked in your precious light!?" Staring at her in slight shock, I started to speak once more.
"Precious light? What are you talk-" I was interrupted as Luna walked to the center isle and stood there before speaking again.
"There can only be one princess in Equestria! And that princess," She suddenly reared up on her hind legs, "WILL BE ME!" As she slammed her forelegs onto the ground, several cracks began to spread outward. One large crack went up to the ceiling, followed by a very ominous shadow, where it collected into an even larger crack before blowing a hole in the wall. Before I could do anything, Luna once again reared up while the moon rose to the sky and blocked out the sun. When the solar eclipse started, several shadows suddenly flew from the moon and began to surround Luna as she rose into the air. The next thing I knew, she was covered in a really bright orange and white ball that seemed to suck the air from the room. As the ball began to shrink, Luna's form was surrounded by black that lightened to a dark blue color. The next thing I knew, Luna emerged from the ball of light. But what she had become left me in a state of complete shock.
Luna's coat had turned into a deep black while her mane had turned into a darker blue that grew even longer. Her eye's had turned into slitted eye's, like ones you find on cats or something, and had turned into a slightly darker teal than before. Her teeth turned into what seemed to be like that of a sharp dagger of sorts, they didn't literally turn into knives that would suck, while her voice turned into that of a crazed maniac. When the transformation was done, Luna had become someone or thing new.
Cackling like a crazed scientist, "Luna" began to settle down after a second. She then frowned at what seemed to be past me. Before I knew it, she then started to fire a beam into the ceiling which caused part of it to collapse. Diving out of the way, I looked up to the hole she had created in the ceiling. When I looked back ahead, I was surprised to see Celestia walking towards us. She looked in my general direction before looking at the wall of smoke behind me. As "Luna" emerged from the smoke, I immediately got up and stood next to Celestia. As i was about to say something, Celestia cut me off.
"Luna! I will not fight you. You must lower the moon, it is your duty!"
"Luna? I am...... NIGHTMARE MOON! I have but one royal duty now.... to destroy you!" Before I could react, Nightmare Moon shot a beam of energy at Celestia, to which she dodged and took to the air out of the hole in the ceiling, before giving chase. This left me standing there in utter shock at Luna's transformation. Before I could give chase, however, everything around me began to fall apart and disappear. As everything began to disappear, I was left standing on a little piece of what remained of the floor and before I fell into the darkness, I could hear the faint voice of Celestia.
"I'm sorry Luna..... I had no choice....."
And then I knew nothing but darkness.
Canterlot Castle (Again) A-150 Super Battleship Namasaki
Waking up with a start, I frantically looked around at my room to see if everything was real. Once I deduced that I was back in Canterlot castle, I laid back down and turned to my right, only to find a pair of teal eye's staring back at me.
Yelling out in surprise, I fell out of the bed and slammed onto the floor. Groaning in pain, and annoyance, I stood back up and looked at Luna. She was still laying in the bed with tears streaming down her face while she silently sobbed. Growing a look of sadness, I got back onto the bed and pulled Luna closer to me and brought her into a hug. After she tried to get out of the hug, she eventually gave up and began to cry onto my shoulder. While it would've been annoying to have tears running down my back, I was willing to make an exception for Luna in her current state. After a couple of minutes of crying, she finally calmed down enough for me to talk to her.
"What was that?"
"A memory of what I turned into on that dreadful night."
"Was that when you turned into a monster?"
-Sniffle- "Y-yes..... That was a moment I have regretted ever since I returned."
"Wanna talk about it? I may not be the best option but I have very good listening skills."
"Not tonight..... I will tell you everything tomorrow. I know you need your sleep to regain energy."
"But-"
"No buts about it, We can talk about it tomorrow...." Sighing in defeat, I let go of Luna before laying back down.
"Alright, but I will hold you to that... Anyway, see you tomorrow Luna." Getting comfortable again, I closed my eye's and was soon on my way to sleep. Before I could enter my sleep mode, I felt Luna lift up my arm and lay against me. Cuddling up to me as close as she could, she set my arm back down as gently as she could before trying to go to sleep herself. Smiling warmly, I pulled Luna closer to myself before closing my eye's again. Before I shut them completely, I noticed a faint smile on Luna's face as she fell into a peaceful slumber.
Then, I knew nothing but darkness as the warm feeling of sleep, or what my equivalent to it, embraced me.
