When Humans, though to been wiped out from the Great War, return to finish their genocide of the pups, they must team up with the ponies of their new world to protect and save the world.

After 10 long years of fighting that left the Earth uninhabitable, the pups of freedom alliance and now the Newly former United Republic had won the war against the humans. But at the cost of their world destroyed.

The United Republic of the pups search for a new home alongside the stars and eventually finds one. A planet they call Earth 2 or to the ponies that live on it, Equis. But they also realize another thing.

The humans.... have found them once again.

Now, with the fate of both species, Pups and Ponies at risk of a global apocalypse, they will have to turn to each other and fight to survive.

A new Home

There should be no sound in the deep space echos. Still, there was. A fleet of spacecraft transporting the United Republic soldiers' survivors was traversing it. They were not, however, people.

Pups, they were.

They had defeated mankind in a protracted, bloody conflict, but they had lost the Earth.

Brine Atlantis Hunter watch the hologram in his room. It showed what the Earth look like before the war, then it flashed to what it look now, a burning, destroyed, radioactive Earth.

He had to leave his room to fetch some food since he couldn't take it any longer and was hungry. His thoughts wandered back to the conflicts he had participated in during the closing stages of the Great War as he made his way to the dining hall on the U.R.S. Enterprise.

Houston, Texas, August 24, 2032, two years ago. Recuse down bomber crews is the mission:

"Cover up!"

That was all he could make out as a huge explosion rocked the adjoining structure and tore it away from its base. It could no longer stand after receiving a severe hammering from the artillery bombardment a few hours prior.

Pieces of steel and concrete fell over his squad as the structure slowly collapsed. The remainder of his crew sought refuge in a shockingly intact structure as he remembered shouting, "Run!"

Brine said as he hurried out of the building, followed by the rest of his group, "We need to get to the Bomber now!"

The group of puppies, who are just in their adolescent years, dash through a blazing courtyard that is filled with both human and animal bodies, getting their medic unwell in the process.

Their doctor said, "I'm going to lose my lunch." He soon stopped talking as one of his squad members gave him the evil eye as they started to run.

Finally, they are able to locate the downed bomber jet after what seems like an eternity. But it was clear from a first glance that nobody had survived the collision.

The plane's structure was a complete jumble, shredded and twisted in all directions. It could not have been a B-52 bomber. Brine peered around the ruin and deduced that more missiles than were required to bring it down must have been launched by the adversary. likely to also kill the crew.

He abruptly heard a sound he was too familiar with. As a missile impacted a few feet away from him, killing his squad and sending him flying into a destroyed automobile, he instantly turned back.

He sprang to his feet as soon as possible, grabbed his M4 Carbine Assault Rifle, and ran for safety behind the automobile. He observed what he knew to be as he looked about the vehicle. They were seeking for him and were in an M3 Bradley with Human soldiers.

To kill him.

He was terrified, but he was also determined to exact revenge on those who had killed his unit. He loaded his gun, put on a bold look, and charged in, letting his gun do the talking.

The troops started to fall off one by one, but sadly, the M3 Bradley didn't, and it proceeded to fire its machine gun at him, forcing him to hide.

"I need air support right now!" As the machine gun fire grew louder and drew nearer to Brine, as he shouted over his radio.

Three enormous explosions erupted abruptly from behind the automobile he was sheltering behind. The M3 Bradley was smashed into scarp metal by three F-35 Lighting 2 aircraft.

"Fuck the Humans!" One of the pilots said as the group took off to assist another team, which Brine overheard. A Black Hawk abruptly touched down nearby.

The soldier said, "Come on Sergeant, we've got to get out of here!" "Houston is down."

He ran to the aircraft and boarded it since he had nothing to lose. The Rocky Mountains, close to Denver, were the destination that the Black Hawk took off for Base Alpha. It was their sole significant base and well-shrouded from humanity.

Brine watched Houston burn from the air as fierce battle continued to rage within the city as they urgently tried to evacuate the inhabitants to Denver.

"Er, Brine? Brine?!"

Brine awoke from his reverie to see Verner jolting him out of it. "You've been waiting outside for an hour; how are things?

"Simply recollections", Brine said while shaking his head. "Let's go get something to eat, I'm starving." The war's blasts are still fresh in his memories as the two of them make their way inside the mess hall.

….

Verner wasn't anywhere to be found, but he didn't care. Brine stated as he approached his father, Chase, "He's probably off with the rest of his buddies."

Upholding his father's reputation was challenging. His father was Chase William Hunter, who served as the President of the United Republic as well as the team captain of the former Paw Patrol and led the resistance to triumph.

When he considered them, he recoiled. They had experienced a great deal. Back in 2022, when the conflict first started, they were there at the front lines. The pup race would be doomed if they had passed away back then.

But he was pleased with both his father and himself. Your kid, who was only around 6 years old, shot his first opponent who was attempting to kill his father; such an event did not occur every day.

He walked for a while before reaching the cabin. This was the location aboard the U.R.S. Enterprise that was in charge of watching over the carrier's flight deck, which was now deserted.

Breathing deeply, Brine pushes open the door and enters, the door closing behind him.

The ship's control center was essentially the Cabin. Electronics and the most cutting-edge computers are everywhere, ready for use. While peering out into the vastness of Space, Chase was standing at the glass with his senior Scientist.

Brine called out, "Hey Dad," to his father. Chase remarked, "Hello Brine," as they hugged. Brine inquires, "What's the issue," when Tech, the lead scientist, approaches.

Chase grinned and added, "The reason why we summoned you here is because we have a task for you. He was aware that Brine was growing restless on board. He desired movement. He was an excellent soldier because of that.

Brine inquires, "What kind of mission?" as Tech uses a hologram to show him a planet that remarkably resembles Earth.

The sight of it shocked Brine. "Did you guys truly say that?" Before he could continue, Chase interrupted him. "Yes, indeed, we did."

Brine asks, "Is it habitable?" "Yep," said Tech. "It's really livable. There are no indicators of industrial machinery or pollution of any kind. It is ideal for us.
Brine shed a few tears because he was so thrilled. They would genuinely have had a house once more. One is unharmed by Humans who are trying to murder them all. Home is one of them.

Brine said, returning to a serious expression, "When will we arrive?" "We'll be here tomorrow," Tech promised. "Exploration is the focus of your goal. Three submarines, two of the Ohio Class, will be dropped into the water tomorrow. A few others will also be dropped off on the coast so you may explore the area.

"Yes, sir," Brine said. Then, because tomorrow is going to be hectic, you should probably get some sleep. Brine shook his head in agreement and walked out. Tech made the decision to voice his lone worry.

Tech asked, "Mr. President?" "Are you certain they won't try to kill us if there is life on this planet?"

That's all I can hope for, adds Chase, "I hope not."

The Deep

Brine instantly realized it was morning as a burst of brilliant sunshine shone on him. As he stood up, he noticed that it was the system star, which he named Hope.

Hope.

That's what he was calling the star. As it contained Earth 2o, their future home, it served as a beacon of hope for him and his race.

Through the intercom, a voice announced, "All New Horizons mission personnel, please report to loading bay at this time."

"That's my ride," Brine remarked, picking up his rucksack and heading towards the armory where everyone else was waiting.

"Okay everyone!" The drill sergeant yelled. "Grab your armor, your weapons, and start moving!"

Brine poked around in his locker. He had to clean it sometime, but that time wasn't right now. For the love of God, he was going to explore a planet.

He reached inside his locker and took his preferred weapons. His go-to revolver and the M4 Carbine have long been favorites. Since he killed his first person and spared his father's life, he has kept that gun with him.

He hurriedly puts his armor on and sprints towards the loading dock after making sure his weapons are loaded tightly.

He arrived at the loading port and observed the other parties preparing to depart as well as three Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarines. Fortunately, Verner was following.
He sprinted over to Verner, who was overjoyed to see him. I find it unbelievable that we are actually going to tour our new house.

They were eventually prepared to drop after many minutes of screaming at everyone to take their positions.

Pirate ship in the South Luna Sea at the same time

He risked to approach her once again, and she spit at him.

She was having a bad day. While struggling against the chains holding her, Rainbow Dash had a notion.

A typical day was expected to occur. She was setting all-time records as she performed. traveling the globe quickly via air. In Manhattan, she was met by her pals as well as Celestia and Luna.

She was now imprisoned on this pirate ship known as the Jolly Roger.

In an effort to control the rainbow Pegasus, their leader, leader Blackbeard, tried various efforts.

However, he would always receive spit.

Or even a kick to the balls.

As the captain left the room, she smiled as she could now depend on her escape strategy. She cut the cords while keeping quiet.

In the meanwhile, the U.R.S. Bluefish

Brine clings to the above bar. They were all set to fall. perhaps even someone's gut. It was explained to everyone that they couldn't eat since they didn't want a mess on the submarine.

Additionally, it smells awful.

The alarms soon began to sound, signaling that the moment had come. Release. 3.... 2.... 1....

From the U.R.S. Enterprise, the submarines launch themselves into the waters below. It wasn't simple; they had to cling on for dear life lest someone wish to break their backs or spines.

Brine regarded Verner, who was seated next to him. He was probably meditating with his eyes closed. It's something he enjoys doing.

SPLASH. The whole sub-lunch as it plunges into the icy blue waters of Earth 2's oceans.

The team shouted and applauded as they became the first crew to land on their new house after they were instructed they could stand up, including Verner, who managed to snap out of it.

But Brine had other ideas. He was thinking back to what Tech had said before they had left the Enterprise.

"Just be cautious if there is life. We are unaware of their abilities.

He stepped over to the hatch after deciding he needed some fresh air. Before opening it, he stopped. Despite the sensors not picking up anything, he was warned that the air may be poisonous.

He opened the hatch, deciding to take a chance.

The sun's scorching beams welcomed him. a sun.

Onto the deck he went. He could feel the ocean's chilly breeze. The sun's beams were felt by him. Without pollution, nothing. All you could hear was the ocean.

He was no longer able to resist himself.

He cried out, "Freedom and Liberty to All!" as the crews of the other submarines heard him and cried out in unison, making their voices known.

To the captain's rooms, Brine hurried. When he arrived, he observed the officers telling the U.R.S. Enterprise about their finding.

The voice said, "Sergeant Brine," in a recognizable tone. Do you need anything?

When Brine turned around, Captain Zuma was still looking splendid. Brine, who was standing straight for him, stated, "I want to take a flight test utilizing my jetpack.

He laughed. Captain Zuma rubbed his head and replied, "Of course silly." I'm your uncle; only I and you have the power to determine what you do.

Brine vanished in an instant before he could say anything further. He giggles. He continued as he counted off his responsibilities, "Chase and Skye have such a lovely boy.

Brine entered the equipment room violently, striking his head as he did so. Brine muttered, "Ow," and he shut the door. He grinned and added, "Now let's get flying."

AFTER A FEW MINUTES:

Brine exclaimed as he circled the skies over the idling submarines, "This is awesome!" He felt giddy with happiness. Never before, when he wasn't being fired upon by foes out to kill him, did he feel this joy.

He felt at ease. He considered it as he counted down to take off. He had always desired this in life. to live in peace and not be engaged in combat.

He was content.

Meanwhile, the Jolly Roger:

Rainbow murmur, "Finally," as the ropes come off of this place. She pays attention to the above crew. They appeared to be getting wasted. She needed to go immediately and leave this place behind.

She got up to the balcony and slowly and softly exited the room. She failed to spot anyone.

That's odd, she remarked. "I swear, I heard them."

She was suddenly attacked by a pirate, who she dispatched swiftly before the rest of the group encircled her.

When Brine hears Rainbow crying, he is still flying about when the incident occurs.

He asks himself with astonishment, "Did I... just hear an alien scream for help?" He gave it some thinking. He flew in the direction of the sound and remarked, "I should go look at this problem.

First Contact

For the first time in her life, Rainbow Dash was afraid.

She had always been the one to rush head-on into situations without hesitation and to be prepared to battle. She worried for her own life this time, though.

She was unaware that a particular soldier was quietly observing the action below him.

Brine's mind was now racing with a zillion ideas.

His thoughts roared, "An alien horse, THAT SPEAKS!" Along with shock, he was perplexed.

"I know Tech said there may be life here and to keep an eye out for it, but he thinks it's too strange for it to practically be like Earth Horses.

He settled in to observe as Captain Blackbeard came toward her.

He drew closer to what appeared to be a blade made of an uncommon substance and said, "You will do as I say or you will pay the price for it!"

Brine had had it.

He activated his invisibility barrier covertly and crept onto the ship. He was able to approach the captain from just behind without being seen.

Even if he had to beat up some space pirates, he was going to have a little fun.

He spoke.

"Hello, that's not a nice way to treat a lady you know," Brine replied with a sneer.
As Brine punched him in the belly and sent him flying across the deck, the Captain instantly turned around and discovered nothing.

Two of the pirates charge at him with their swords as they become aware of his presence, but Brine easily dispatched them all because they lacked his talents.

Rainbow stand by in silence. Who was this unseen person who fought so valiantly for her despite all odds?

However, the Captain soon got to his feet again and was furious with him. He cried, "You invisible foe, I saw kill your ass!"

Brine, though, wasn't scared.

He addressed the gang of pirates, saying, "I am more powerful than you all." "Let me display REAL fear to you."

As Brine emerged from the shadows brandishing two energy swords, Rainbow Dash and the pirates gasped in surprise.

Brine responded with a smile, "Come grab me.

He is being charged by two pirates. He was an expert, though, and he was determined to prove it to them.

As the nearest pirate was being pushed across the deck and onto the mast, he immediately swung his hand and struck him in the jaw, causing it to break from the force of the blow.

The pirate writhes in pain. His body hurt in so many areas where it felt broken.

When Brine noticed the second pirate chasing after him, he quickly chopped the second pirate's blade in half with his energy swords while the first pirate gasped in surprise.

He was so shocked that he was unable to respond in time as Brine knocked him out cold and rendered him unconscious in the face.

He quickly avoids an arrow as it almost lands overboard and misses his face. He turned to face the Captain, who was pointing a crossbow at him.

He began to say, "You shall perish. But before he could complete, a particular Blue Pegasus carrying a piece of wood knocked him down cold.

Brine put his energy swords aside and murmured, "Thanks," as Rainbow Dash approached him.

While Brine was being attacked, Rainbow Dash said, "Who are you and why did you...." He shouted, "Get down!" as more arrows whizzed over their heads.

Brine soon stood back up and made the decision to stop.

With the rest of his crew wielding crossbows, Captain Blackbeard screamed, "You have nowhere to run, little dog freak!"

He took out two Uzis and cried, "Not a chance!" as the automatic fire of the weapons tore into their flesh.

Rainbow watched in horror as the arrow-sized bullets tore the pirates' flesh apart, leaving them lifeless and blubbering.

He swiftly put his Uzis aside after they ran out of ammunition, got ready for flight, and grabbed Rainbow Dash.

When Brine grabbed Rainbow Dash, she cried, "What are you doing?!" Brine said, "Getting off this boat," as he flew through the air.

The Captain ordered to his remaining crew, "Fire at them!" However, Brine still had one more move in his sleeve.

"Bye," Brine muttered, turning back and firing an RPG into the wooden ship's hull, which caused it to burst in pieces and catch fire.

Rainbow Dash watched as the two took off as the ship slipped behind the crew.

When they were almost halfway back to the other submarine fleet, Rainbow pressed for an explanation.

Rainbow Dash asks, "Who are you?" You appear to be a highly strong extraterrestrial dog who speaks Equis even though you don't appear to have any magic. WHAT ARE YOU!"

"I'm Brine Atlantis Hunter," Brine introduced herself. I am the son of Chase William Hunter, the United Republic's leader and president, and I'm seeking for a house among the stars.

"Why?" As an arrow shot by and went off in midair, Rainbow Dash started to inquire.

As two of the pirate crew's survivors pursued them, Brine shouted, "Shit!" Brine said over his headset, "Delta." "Get me the U.R.S. Bluefish."

On board the U.R.S. Bluefish, however,

When one of the officers entered the engine room, Zuma was discussing their new home with the engineers.

The officer replied, "Captain Zuma sir, Sergeant Brine is online for you and he needs to speak to you."

The moment Brine appeared on the screen in the control room, both Zuma and the officer hurried there.

Zuma asks, "Boy, what is going on?" Brine muttered as arrows whizzed by, "I have two fucking pirates chasing me and my passenger." "Wait until you see my passenger, they can fly." Anyway, blast them out of the sky for me.

As the footage was broadcast, Zuma remarked, "You can rely on me. Zuma commanded, "Get the field guns prepared and inform the other subs as well."
"Now."

By this time, Brine was getting closer to where the submarines were, but the pirates were also coming closer to him.

I'm hoping you have a plan, Rainbow Dash stated. "I know, right about now," Brine responded.

As they turned to face the three submarines shooting their field guns at the flying pirates, who they couldn't dodge and who plummeted to the water dead, they heard a lot of automatic fire.

"Hello?" Asks Brine. When he looked down, he saw that Rainbow Dash had been struck by one of them. Brine arrived on the ship like a flash, and others were waiting.

Doctors rushed to take her while Brine cried, "Get her to a medic NOW!" One soldier added:

"What in the name of God did we just found?"

Getting some answers

View Online

Rainbow Dash woke up.

She felt a little lightheaded. She stumbled onto her hooves, asking incoherently, "What happened?"

In a hospital room, she was. She takes in her own chest. Her chest was bound with a bandage. She was shot by whomever was using those weapons.

She asks herself, "Did they shoot me?" "No, he helped her and was kind to her. It was undoubtedly an accident.

Finding him was the only way to learn more.

In the meanwhile, the control room

So, the officer asked, "What are we going to do with this alien aboard the ship."

He was contemplating what to do with her together with Captain Zuma, Brine, and Brine.

Brine suddenly startled them both by smashing his fist into the table and yelling, "Enough!" Brine wasn't easily enraged around other people, so this undoubtedly shocked Zuma.

Brine stated, "I save her because she is like us," without realizing Rainbow Dash was standing just outside the door. She is a sentinel being, just like us. She is her own person, not yours or anybody else's; for these reasons and more, I save her.

In disbelief, Rainbow Dash listened from behind the door. He... showed her concern. Few others, save her friends and family, showed her any love. Even some other Pegasus in the Wonder Blots treated her like garbage, and those old bullies still aggravate her to no end.

She hastily ducked behind a corner after hearing Brine leave. She observed Brine stroll down the hallway after leaving the room. She made the decision to follow him after she saw he wasn't paying attention.

She followed him down the sub's corridor. She was mesmerized by the vessel's intricacy. In the end, she discovered that the hatch leading outside was open. She went after it.

When she climbed out of the submersible it was dark. Clear, quiet, and crisp. Brine was standing there when she discovered her.

She realizes as she gets closer to the alien who defended her. He was holding a picture while weeping. She turned to look more closely.

Before their first assignment, He and a few other people may be seen in the picture dressed in military gear.

She was seen by Brine. Jumping, he cried, "Jesus Christ!" "You scared the hell out of me."

Sorry, Rainbow Dash said. "Why are you crying?" I asked.

Brine remained still while gazing at the image. You have no clue the level of agony that Brine and his crew through. "The entire devastation. Every every mass murder...

He sobbed and fell on his knees. "I lost every friend I had ever known. I just have Verner and his pals left!" he wailed. "I recall the nightly clashes and the mayhem they caused. Remembering hurts!"

Rainbow remained still for a while.

She was at a loss for what to do. He simply started crying in front of her.

But she did have one thought.

She took a seat close to him. Brine was taken aback when Rainbow Dash told him, "You're not the only one whose life is misery to the one experiencing it.

You don't appear like soldiers or warriors to me, what do you mean," Brine said. Rainbow Dash chuckled, "You don't have to be a soldier to have your life like hell.

Then, how is your life?" Brine asks as he gazes at the starry sky.

She cried, Brine lifting an eyebrow, "I work with the Wonderblots, the best team in all of Equestria!"

Well, it's not all fun and games, remarked Rainbow Dash. The bullies pick on me whenever they can, and half the squad is envious of you since you are the quickest flyer ever.

"Jezz," Brine said. You're not the only one; some people dislike me because of you now because you're the President's son and such. But there was something I had discovered.

Rainbow enquires, "What is that?"

"I discovered that I never back down, despite whatever they observed. I destroy my path to success. Although I detest politics just as much as the next man, Brine praised his military prowess.

When he heard a snoring next to him, he was about to go counties. When he turned to look, he discovered Rainbow Dash dozing off on his shoulder.

Brine said, "Good Ritz," and took her to her chamber, putting her to bed. Brine murmured, "Sweet dreams," as he headed to his bed for the evening.

THE Next Morning:

Brine's room was filled with loud music as Rainbow Dash woke up. As the strange music faded, she reasoned that he must be playing music for an alarm clock.

She sprang out of bed. She didn't enter this room, therefore she wasn't sure how she got into the bed. She didn't give it much thought, though.

Her stomach, which had been ravenous for days without food, was what she cared about most at the moment.

Brine pushed open the door and said, "Hungry?" If you wish to eat, go down the hall to the mess hall.

Stretching her legs, Rainbow Dash said, "I am. She remarked, "I'll be down there in a second," as Brine walked away.

She stretched out fully before giving her wings a close inspection. The ropes used by the pirates were still hurting them.

She avers. The only thing she could do was stay with the aliens on their spacecraft because she wouldn't be able to fly for a while in her condition.

She gave it some thinking. It was fun to explore the ship because it was an original design. She questioned the capabilities of these advanced extraterrestrial puppies.

She entered the mess hall, where the rest of the crew was evidently present. Brine came over while carrying a chocolate ship muffin.

Brine handed Rainbow Dash his muffin, saying, "We have a lot of stuff to eat," and she accepted it with little hesitation. Since you guys probably don't eat meat, you might want to avoid the meat items.

A portion of Rainbow Dash's muffin was spat into the neighboring garbage can. She said, "You guys.. eat meat?"

"We grow the meat," Brine added. Since we need it and we couldn't bring any animals with us, our experts cultivate it in laboratories. We're not going to eat you, so don't be alarmed. Everyone won't.

"Good," said Rainbow Dash as she finished her muffin. Brine said, "I'm getting coffee," and he walked over to the table to make some.

A message was suddenly broadcast over the speaker. Mrs. Rainbow Dash, report to the cabin, Sergeant Brine.

Brine sipped his coffee and added, "Looks like my Uncle wants us." Come on, let's see him.

The two stroll over to the Cabin. They entered and saw Captain Zuma waiting for him.

Brine asks, "What's up Uncle?" In the form of a hologram of the U.R.S. Missouri, Zuma remarked, "I brought you here for a significant purpose.

In a few hours, she will be landing, according to Captain Zuma. Your father requests that you two return to the Enterprise in the rocket so that they may speak.

This will be fantastic," Brine muttered. Rainbow Dash giggled.

Then okay," responded Zuma. The U.R.S. Missouri is getting close, so get your stuff ready.

AFTER A FEW MINUTES:

Brine and Rainbow Dash were waiting for the U.R.S. Missouri to arrive while they were on the surface. Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long since a large steel cruiser crashed into the ocean just next to them a few minutes later.

Rainbow Dash was... dumbfounded.

As Brine took her to the enormous Battleship, she reminded herself that they have more of their metal warships and that this one is bigger.

The captain of the U.R.S. Missouri greeted Sergeant Brine, saying, "Hello." "I see you brought a guest with you as well," he said, glancing at Rainbow Dash.

"We have to go to the Enterprise," Brine remarked in a professional tone. Rainbow Dash is usually surprised by this.

Right, the Captain said. "Follow me; the rocket is over here."

The two were soon inside the Rocket and prepared to lock.

Rainbow Dash said, "Um, Brine?" Are you certain this is secure?

Brine responded, checking off the last-minute details, "Definitely. "It's completely safe. We've built thousands of rockets."

"Ready for Latch in 5... 4.... 3.... 2..... 1..... Lift off!"

As it launched into orbit, the rocket let out a scream. Rainbow Dash exclaimed "Whoa!" as the rocket launched into orbit.

Soon enough, the rocket crossed the edge of space, and Rainbow Dash was able to see them. they are all.

They had a sizable fleet of metal warships that were all floating over her planet. She turned to face her window. She has no idea how her world seems. She now did.

It closely resembles the Earth that the alien puppies depicted in their holograms. Green landscapes and crystal-clear waters. a conflict-free planet.

When she looked around, she noticed that the rocket had touched down on a huge, flat deck of a ship. She was amazed that they could construct such enormous ships.

The Rocket quickly stopped when it touched down on the Carrier. Brine asked as he strapped on his helmet, "Ready?" As she took hers, Rainbow Dash remarked, "I guess." She laughed and said, "Are you though?"

The medics performed some tests to make sure she wasn't carrying anything hazardous as the two left the spaceship as a group of puppies watched in utter awe.

When it was over (and the two had managed to get past the enormous group of news reporters), everyone in the cabin stopped what they were doing and turned to look at them. Chase soon walked into the cabin.

Chase turned to gaze at Rainbow Dash and said, "Hello son," with a smile. And as I requested, I notice that you brought your friend up here.

Rainbow Dash was on the verge of panic. He and Brine were around the same height. But she was aware that he had battle experience from a horrific conflict. He didn't require security. He was more than capable of caring for himself.

Chase instructed the two, "Follow me, you two," as he led them to his office. He sat down and shut the door before beginning to talk.

Chase enquired, "How is the exploration going Brine?" Apparently, you had to save her from pirates.

Yes, Brine replied. "Father, we are not in danger from these pirates. They had wooden vessels, crossbows, and swords. One RPG shot was all it needed to sink it.

So tell me, how do you feel about Mrs. Rainbow Dash over here. Brine trembled a little. Rainbow Dash and him weren't very close.

"Just friends," Brine said. She has truly been impacted by our technological advancements.

Mrs. Rainbow, I'm sorry," said Chase. "Would you just wait outside the door for a while. I need to chat to my son in privacy.

She agreed despite not understanding what he was talking about and exited the room.

Brine said, as per usual, incredulously, "What was that about?!" Chase smiled and continued, "Don't be stupid. You obviously have a thing for the Pegasus, don't you?

When he heard it, Brine's eyes practically flew out of his head. He screamed, "No!" as Chase giggled.

Come on, I know when my kid is in a relationship. You exhibit the same qualities I did for your mother, Chase remarked.

"I don't know," Brine replied. Simply said, "I just don't know." Chase gave ear.

Okay, let's go on, remarked Chase. What's it like down there?

The answer was "plenty," Brine said. No air pollution of any type, no air pollution. Although this environment is ideal for us, there is a small issue.

"The inhabits," inquires Chase.

Yes, there are existing nations in this area, so we could have trouble finding land.

As Tech entered, a well-known voice greeted him with, "Not for long." The hologram was placed on the desk.

Chase said, "What are we looking at?" Tech remarked as it moved to the north, "We are looking towards what they call the frozen north."

Okay, so what makes this place unique? Brine queries. Tech showed them a section that contained the ideal location for crop growth and said, "Because not only does it genuinely covertly have the most precious farmland anyplace on our globe.

Tech exclaimed as it revealed its subsurface location, "But it also has the greatest mineral and energy resources ever. The massive, untapped quantities of uranium, iron, oil, and natural gas that they discovered beneath the surface shocked them.

It's the ideal location, Tech added. "Since they never made it that far north, the people fear the area too much. We are, though.

Then it's resolved, Chase said. Through a loud speaker, he declared, "We are calling the north our new home."

The puppies rejoiced and howled in victory as they celebrated across the fleet that was still in orbit and the ships that were on the planet.

As the puppies howled, Rainbow Dash listened. She enquires. She pondered what was ahead for her and Equestria now that the puppies were settled in the north as the applause and howls dwindled within her head.

Life with the Pups

View Online

Rainbow Dash stroll to the mess hall on the Aircraft Carrier. She wanted to discuss their relocating to her planet with Brine.

It seemed like an eternity until she arrived in the meal hall, where unlike the subs, there were more than a billion people eating lunch.

She entered the line and received a few glances from a couple of the puppies, but most were too busy feeding to notice her.

She considered her alternatives. When they stated they would eat anything, they weren't joking. For strange reasons, they served salad, carrots, pork, and a lot of desserts and coffee.

For unknown reasons, she decided not to eat the steak, so she helped herself to the salad and a cup of coffee. When she heard Brine beckoning for her, she questioned what it tasted like.

She looked and noticed that Brine was seated at a table in the far corner of the room with Verner and the rest of their buddies. There was nowhere for else to sit, so she chose to join them.

When she finally arrived, Brine and Verner were eating while Verner's friends were engaging in an arm wrestle.

While she was eating, Rainbow Dash grinned. Brine had nice friends, but he didn't consider the consequences.

Back in Canderlot, however:

As Twilight Sparkle fled through the streets, there was a complete state of fear across the city.

She said, "First the changelings, then the Griffon Empire, and now Rainbow Dash disappearing." This is really fantastic.

Fighting broke out between the pro- and anti-war factions while Equestria was having high tensions with the Griffon Empire.

Celestia, Luna, and the rest of her pals were waiting for her inside the royal chamber, so she hurried inside.

Applejack inquires, "What took you so long?" Twilight sat down and remarked, "Ponies are all over the streets, getting restless and angry."

"I know," Celestia admitted. But I also don't want to call in the Royal Guard to put an end to the demonstrations.

Do we know what happened to Rainbow Dash, Twilight questioned? She shook her head, Luna.

We don't, Celestia said, "But something... strange happened in the South Luna Sea a few days ago."

She began playing a video of three enormous things colliding with the water.

Rarity inquires, "What are those things?" Three lengthy figures surfaced out of the water as she was asking the inquiry, shocking everyone.

Twilight shouted, "What are those things?!" She shook her head.

"From what we've got," Celestia said. These ships are not natural and appear to be too high tech for anybody on this planet to construct, thus it looks like we may have extraterrestrial visitors.

Applejack queries, "But why would they take Rainbow Dash." Pinkie Pie shouted, "Maybe they are using her for their crazy experiments!"

"We don't know," Luna stated. But we need to track them down. They may be anywhere in the planet or in space.

Fluttershy said, "I propose we start where she vanished. Surely there are some hints there.

Twilight responded, "I agree. "Come on, ladies.

However, they had no idea what they were getting into when they were leaving.

Aboard the U.R.S. Enterprise, meanwhile:

Brine motioned to Rainbow Dash and said, "You might want to hold on," pointing to the pipe above them.

After placing their satellites and a space station on the moon in orbit, the fleet was prepared to descend and sail to their new home.

The Captain roared, "Ready for drop in three minutes." "Be prepared!"

As tightly as she could, Rainbow grasped the bar above her. This was going to be a steep descent.

"3... 2... 1.... LATCH!"

As the powerful Carrier and the rest of the fleet suddenly plunged to the waters below, she suddenly felt sick to her stomach.

Her stomach wanted to vomit and her legs wanted to give way over the subsequent few seconds, which were a nightmare for her. But she wasn't the only one. One poor puppy puked everywhere.

He heard the Private next to him exclaim, "DUDE!" "I'm covered in it!"

I'm sorry, the puppy said. "I couldn't keep it inside,"

While the two puppies are fighting, Rainbow hears the splash of the water. She was overjoyed that they were at least partially on stable ground. She detested that and probity always would.

As Brine passed out on his bed from tiredness, she made the decision to accompany him to his room. She turned to face his room. Only some equipment, a few guidebooks, and a lot of ammo were present.

Rainbow Dash queries, "Why do you have so much ammo lying around your room?" Does that pose a risk?

Only if you're an idiot, Brine said. "I always have some on hand just in case."

Sure, a few, Rainbow Dash said. Now that we finally have a place to swim, you may go on the deck and swim if you want, as I'm sure many other puppies are, said Brine. "I'm going to sleep," you said.

Leaving the room while her mind was racing, Rainbow let him sleep. She remarked, "He does seem cute when he sleeps. She then understands what she was thinking. She got rid of it, thinking "No, no!" "He's just a friend,"

She thought as she walked to the deck to see what was happening. She felt oddly drawn to Brine. But she was unable to place her hoof on it.

She was surprised to see a party taking place on the northern side after managing to locate the entrance leading outdoors. She reasoned that they must be celebrating their new home.

She eventually finds herself near the southern end of the aircraft carrier, where a number of puppies—both young and old—were swimming about in the water.

She said to herself, "They are good swimmers," as a juvenile Grey Wolf howled and jumped into the water, splashing everyone around him and making him grin.

She took a few steps and saw the helicopters coming and going. Obviously watching the area.

Near the end of the deck, she observed Tech doing something with a glass of substance. She approached him out of curiosity and stared at him.

She asks Tech, "What are you doing," terrifying him to death. He shouted "Ahh!" and almost dropped the jar he was carrying. You terrify me beyond belief, lady.

Tech came to his wits and murmured, "Sorry," to Rainbow Dash. "So what's that?," he said, pointing to the strange shimmering dust in the container.

Tech responded, "Oh this. I believe I may have figured out what, according to you, gives you your magical skills.

Rainbow inquires, "Why is it?" as Tech demonstrates the jar of sparkling dust to her.

Tech said, "I'm not sure what it is, but has your magical abilities that let you fly. "I need to test it out to learn more. For us, this may lead to the sixth industrial revolution.

An another industrial revolution? Puzzled, Rainbow inquires. "You made significant technical advancements six times!"

"Yep," said Tech. If you want to learn more, head to the library on the second level. I have lab work to complete.

Tech turned and left, signing in a tone she couldn't read. She didn't really get their music very well.

She did, however, visit the floor Tech had mentioned out of curiosity. She had no idea how many books they had; it was the only thing.

Rainbow Dash picked up a book and stated, "I'm going to be in here for a while."

Second contact

View Online

As Rainbow Dash finally exited the library, she said, "Twilight is going to lose her mind over this."

four hours later.

She never anticipated staying there for as long as she did, but she felt their books were excellent.

They have every possible sort of book. Everything, including graphic novels and historical fiction. As she made her way back to the mess hall for dinner, she observed, "They are certainly an artistic people."

"Hey, Rainbow." Brine was heading down the corridor when Rainbow turned around to see him. "I can see you've been active. I had gone to the gym.

"I was in your guy's library," Rainbow Dash remarked. Twilight would have a heart attack if she realized how many books you guys have.

Brine inquires, "Who's this Twilight of yours," as they enter the meal hall.

As they had their meals, Rainbow Dash said, "She's one of my friends from back home and the princess of friendship."

Brine asks, "The Princess of Friendship?" "You've got to be kidding me on that,"

"No, I'm not kidding. She's the Princess of Friendship," Rainbow Dash said as they took a seat.

Sincerely," Brine said. "Nothing's off the table now; this world is fucking crazy enough as it is."

As Rainbow Dash prepared to eat her meal, she remarked, "To be honest, I wonder what their doing."

Meanwhile, 150 miles away on a ship

The Main 6 aboard their ship heard the Captain say, "Yep, exactly what we thought it was."

One of the divers claimed, "The entire hull of the pirate ship was blown to bits." "It must have been sunk by something more powerful than I've ever seen."

Twilight gave the matter some thought. The planet was being circled by Rainbow Dash. Who sank the ship? Maybe she was captured by these pirates. Then, nothing was more potent...

Coldly, she stops. These strange devices. The ship must have been sunk. There was no alternate route.

Twilight urged the others, "Let's get some sleep for tonight, girls." The morning will be used to decide what to do.

Twilight, do you believe the aliens blew up the ship? Applejack asks as the girls make their way back to their cabin.

"I think so," Twilight said. "Nothing we have can rip the hull of a ship apart like that." "I believe she is currently with the aliens,"

"I believe so, too," Applejack responded. However, what they are doing to her concerns me. The answer is, "We have no idea."

Twilight remarked, "Well, let's not sleep too rough on it. She added as she got into bed, "We'll work this out in the morning.

They all had no idea that tomorrow would not be nice.

RETURNING TO THE U.R.S. ENTERPRISE

Around midnight, Rainbow Dash was unable to fall asleep.

She couldn't stop thinking about Brine and everything about him—his appearance, his character, his...

She finally decided to give up and walk to the deck to see Luna's stars. However, she was unaware that there was a second person present.

As she stepped outside, she sees Brine there as well. Brine wasn't expecting her to sit down next to him.

Brine stated while lying on his back, "Hello Rainbow Dash." I find it surprising that you are here.

Rainbow said the same as she did, "Couldn't sleep." I suppose you do, so why are you here?

"The stars, there my image, vast and, their our home," said Brine. We are a part of the stars.

She looks up. Brine pointed to a brilliant light that was glowing in the night sky and remarked, "See that star. We refer to that as Betelgeuse.

"Betelgeuse, huh," said Rainbow Dash. Since there are so many of them in the sky, our experts avoid naming them.

"We do," Brine said. We are passionate about it. to increase our knowledge.

She laughed, and Brine joined in. "You are a science people, we never have those," she said.

At that point, a strange event occurred. Something occurred that permanently altered both of their lives.

They both hunch closer together. Both of them were unable to describe it, but...

Both of them now understood the sensation they were experiencing as their lips touched.

Love.

That night was the happiest night of their lives for them both.

After that, Brine couldn't recall much at all. He vaguely recalled taking Rainbow Dash to his room before losing any further recollection.

The following morning: 150 miles distant, back on the ship

They first heard the screaming quite early in the morning. It woke up everyone of them.

Four pirates with crossbows barged into the chamber where the main six were resting, shouting, "Get down now!"

Fluttershy swiftly raised her hooves in the air and cried out, "Ahh!"

Twilight followed suit, saying, "Do as they say." The pirates tie them up and place them among the crew they have seized, and the others immediately follow suit.

"Man," Pinkie Pie exclaimed. I wish Rainbow Dash was here because she would destroy them in an instant.

Unbeknownst to them all, one drone was keeping an eye on everything and sending reports to the U.R.S. Enterprise.

The alarms and calls were placed back on the U.R.S. Enterprise.

"Sergeant Brine, please report to the Main Cabin at this time. The announcer roared, "This is not a drill," rousing them both.

Brine screamed, "Get moving!" as he hurriedly put on his outfit and sprinted down the corridor, Rainbow Dash following closely after.

Everywhere they turned as they hurried down the corridor, they saw anarchy. Running down the hallways, dogs and cats were shouting that they needed to get to their combat stations.

The officers were racing about like crazy when the two finally made it into the cabin.

As Chase approaches the two, Rainbow Dash inquires, "What's going on?"

As the camera footage appeared, Chase announced, "We have a significant problem occurring 150 miles to the north of us and it's your friends."

Chase responded, "Your pals were aboard an exploring vessel that was captured an hour ago by a sizable band of pirates. "We must save them, and doing so will advance our diplomatic relations with Equestria."

Rainbow Dash shouted, "So let's go!" Brine, though, intervenes and prevents her from closing the door.

Brine led her to the armory and suggested that she get dressed.

Brine raced Rainbow Dash to the armory, where she was met with rockets, explosives, and a ton of firearms upon entry.

"Pick out your gear," Brine said. "We'll be gone by five,"

Unsure of which to take, Rainbow Dash settled on taking simply an Uzi, a handgun, and some of their body armor, while Brine obtained one of their more recent helmets for her and him.

Just as Brine and Rainbow stepped onto the deck and the men were boarding the helicopters, the Captain ordered, "Move out now!"

The wings of Rainbow Dash flap. They still have some soreness, but they can fly.

As the Black Hawk lifted flight, Brine and Rainbow were put on board as the fleet's sirens began to sound in preparation for conflict.

Destroyer: U.R.S. Dauntless

The captain of the U.R.S. Dauntless, a destroyer in the fleet, exclaimed, "Get those guns ready, boys, lock and load NOW!"

The crew exclaimed "Yes sir!" as the ship's two guns were loaded and missile launch preparations were made.

The Captain roared as the Massive Destroyer made a leisurely turn toward the Pirate, "Steady, turned 50 meters!"

The captain roared over the radio, "Ready!"

UR BUSINESS:

Chase said as the cabin finished getting ready, "Are all ships and the fighter ready to go?" They shouted "Yes sir," in response.

Chase cried, "Operation Titan Down is on for latch!"

As the F-22s, F-35s, F-15s, and other fighter planes flew into the skies prepared to deliver their lethal payloads to their opponents, the orders were radioed across the fleet.

150 MILES AWAY, ON THE EQUSTRIAN SHIP:

Rustboard, the captain, repeated himself. He screamed, "We need to find Rainbow Dash so we can punish her for killing Blackbeard!"

"I said," Twilight said. She was beginning to fear the Captain, and he said, "We don't know, we are also hunting for her.

The Captain screamed "Lies!" as he kicked a barrel. There was an abruptly loud sound.

The Captain said as huge explosions shook the ship, "What was that?" One of the pirates cried, "Captain." "You've got to come see this!"

When the captain went outside, he discovered his flagship on fire.

The ship was shattered, split in two, and sank in the seas. The Captain shouted, "Who sank my ship!" as two more ships were completely demolished by a single explosion after being struck by further light blips.

The captain yelled, "Who's destroying my beautiful ships!" as an earth pony pirate yelled and pointed above.

The Captain began to scream, "Why is it...." but stopped as he saw the F-15s coming in and dropping their missiles and bombs, each of which destroyed three ships.

When the Eurocopter Tiger and Black Hawk helicopters arrived, preparing to remove the main six, the crew exclaimed, "Why are those things!"

The Captain raced back to the restrained group and said, "You called for help, you little rats," before slicing Fluttershy in half. He did swing, but something was struck.

A recognizable voice yelled, "Not her, you little bitch." When the main six opened their eyes, Rainbow Dash was wearing some strange armor, but she was missing her wing.

As she shoved the Captain and drew out her gun, Rainbow glared at him and threatened to make him pay.

The Captain laid the weapon down and was struck in the head by one bullet as she slumped to the deck, dead.

While stumbling and feeling faint, she heard her name being shouted but was unable to hear it.

Brine roared at the Main Six as he and the Marines unexpectedly descended into the ship, "We need to get her back now!"

The primary six were in a state of shock after initially encountering the aliens up close. They resembled dogs and cats, but they were larger and equipped with the same weird weaponry as Rainbow was.

Brine shouted, ripping off his shirt to staunch the blood, "You get the others off this ship!" I must eject Rainbow from this place.

As the Marines released the group's ties, Brine jumped to the air and flew off with Rainbow Dash. The other Marines followed their orders.

Who are you, Rarity shouted. The question "And what are you doing with Rainbow Dash"

One of the Marines proclaimed, "We are the Marines of the United Republic." And Mrs. Rainbow Dash urgently needs medical attention. Move it! She and you are both being escorted back to the Enterprise.

As the ship starts to take on water and forces them into the helicopter, the main six and the rest of the crew agree.

The Captain said, "Take off now!" "The package is safe," The ship eventually sank beneath the waters, and the Black Hawk flew off.

Twilight gasped as she peered out. All of the pirate ships were ablaze and scudding beneath the seas. She comes to a realization.

If they attack us, we're screwed, she warned herself.

A Upgrade

View Online

The U.R.S. Enterprise's flat deck, which was in disarray, was where the Black Hawk touched down.

Stepping off the Black Hawk, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, and Fluttershy take a look around. Aliens were running amok and odd machines were parked on the huge ship's flat deck.

Twilight inquired, "Where is Rainbow Dash?" as a nurse, a kitten, rushed to them.

The Cat inquires, "Are you Rainbow Dash's friends?" "Yes," Twilight said. The question was, "Do you know where she is."

She had recently undergone surgery, and the cat stated, "We had to stitch up the wound before she bled to death. If you want to see her, follow me.

The main six, led by the Cat and Doctor Nibbles, proceed to Rainbow Dash's chamber while receiving strange looks from bystanders. Twilight made an effort to pay attention, but she had never been able to grasp Spanish.

They eventually make it to her room. Doctor Nibbles replied, "I need to see how some others are doing. He said, "Hope you enjoy your stay," as he turned to go.

"Well," Pinkie Pie said. What are we holding out for, let's in.

When Twilight unlocked the door, they found their stuff in a chair in a lovely chamber that even Rarity could only dream of.

Rainbow Dash, sporting a metal wing, remarked, "Hi guys," from within the bed. Applejack inquires, "What happened to you, sugarcube?"

Rainbow Dash waved her new metallic wing and said, "That Bastard of a pirate slice my wing off clean." But fortunately, they are so skilled at bio-engineering that they gave me a new wing without charging me for it.

Twilight, who is quite confused, asks, "What is bio-engineering?" She had never heard of that.

"Oh yeah," said Rainbow Dash. "Based on the books they have, they because upgrade your body's cells to hand certain things, like implants or making them immune to specific diseases."

Twilight raises an eyebrow, "You actually read something that's not a Daring Do book?" Yes, Twilight, I have read other material. She stated as she got out of bed, "They have a lot of books in their library on the second level.

The mothership has a library, right? Twilight inquires as her eyes almost leave her head.

Rainbow Dash interrupted her before she could bolt out the door and added, "Yeah, but you might want to ask the President about that."

Twilight questioned, "The President?" Who is that? Rainbow sign.

"Their leader," proclaimed Rainbow Dash. "Simply go speak with him. Brine and I are on our way to the Mess Hall. If you like, you can accompany me. Just make sure you bring food.

They followed Rainbow Dash to the Mess Hall, where they saw Brine, knowing that they were really hungry.

Rainbow Dash was hugged by Brine, who remarked, "Rainbow Dash, I'm so glad you're okay." They had to give me a new wing, but I'm okay.

It will return to normal quickly, Brine assured. Who's ready for lunch right now? Pinkie Pie raced by them and exclaimed, "I got to try everything!"

Brine ran after her and the others followed. "I better stop her before she eats everything in the Mess Hall," he shouted.

Twilight saw something when the party entered the Mess Hall.

Twilight remarked, "There are more than a billion of you men aboard this one ship, and doubtless many more in your fleet.

"Howdy Brine," a buddy of Brine's who once lived in Houston said. You brought Rainbow and our new visitors here for a nice lunch, I see."

Brine responded, "Yeah, Texan," as he retrieved his meal. "Help the others get theres? Nothing made with meat.

Texan muttered, "Oh it," before vanishing into the kitchen. Fearful Fluttershy inquires, "You guys... eat meat?" To her, Brine turned.

Brine touched Fluttershy with his paw and said, "Yes and no. "We need to survive, but ours is grown in labs so we don't kill any animals, ok?"

Fluttershy felt better as a result. Okay, I suppose that makes sense.

They sat at Brine's table where Venver and his friends were arguing after receiving their lunch (making sure to avoid the meat products).

Venver said, "Dude, The Walking Dead is way better than Resident Evil." They reply, "No, Resident Evil is!"

"What are you two arguing about once more?" Brine stated as he joined the other six at their table.

Venver remarked, "Those guys believe Resident Evil to be superior to The Walking Dead in zombie terror. Brine sign.

Brine sighed as he began to eat, "You guys really must quit bickering about this. Rarity couldn't help but chuckle as she watched them argue over ridiculous things.

Twilight asks Rainbow, "So, Rainbow, can we talk?" "Out there in the hallway?"

She consented, understanding what Twilight wanted to discuss. Twilight started once they were out of earshot.

Twilight shouted, "Are you ok, did they hurt you!?" but Rainbow covered her lips before she could finish. Twilight said, "Twilight, calm down."

Rainbow Dash speaks as Twilight begins to settle down. You're good, Twilight. I'm doing good.

Twilight asked, "Have they treated you okay, but they are aliens. Rainbow Dash frowned in reaction to this.

Twilight said, "No, that's kind of racist of you," to which Rainbow Dash objected. They had treated me the same as any other of them. Heck, Brine shouted at his captain to treat me right after becoming enraged with them. When she considered last night, her cheeks began to flush. their embrace.

Twilight took note. She inquires, "Did you and Brine do anything while you were here?"

She dragged Twilight to her room and told her everything as she knew she couldn't keep it a secret from her. her feelings after their kiss the previous evening.

Twilight said in complete disbelief, "You.. kiss Brine." "Why?"

"I... feel for him," said Rainbow Dash. Like Love, you understand.

The darkness was quiet. She was unsure about her thoughts. She spoke at last.

Twilight's smile and words, "Rainbow, I think that is a great thing on your part," completely astounded Rainbow.

In disbelief, Rainbow Dash asks, "You, believe this is okay? "Do you think it's okay that I'm in love with an alien?"

"Rainbow Dash," Twilight said. "No one picks the person you should love for you; it is your decision. Why do you adore him? Please explain.

All the times she had spent with Brine came to Rainbow Dash's mind. Their kiss beneath Luna's moon followed by him excluding her, them discussing their history, and eventually their hanging out last night.

He's just like me, Rainbow remarked. "A warrior, he moves quickly through life and despises it due to his high standards. We are a unit.

Rainbow Dash considered that.

We are one.

Rainbow Dash shouted, "I love him!" as she embraced Twilight. As Rainbow Dash left the room, Twilight screamed, "Then go get him and prove to him!"

Twilight was unable to stop laughing.

Meeting Equestria

View Online

The massive fleet sailed through the quiet waters of the South Luna Sea in the dead of night. But onboard the U.R.S Enterprise, the ship was very active.

"Party Rock!" The classic song blared throughout the ship as they threw a massive party to celebrate their new home's founding. They even manage to impress Pinkie Pie.

"I don't know what to think," said Pinkie Pie to Rarity, who was also watching the party with Pinkie Pie. "But they sure do know how to throw good parties," she yelled as she join them in their fun.

Twilight was perusing the ship's library's extensive collection at the time. She was astounded by how many they had—even more than the combined collections of the libraries in Ponyville, Manehattan, and Canderlot.

She studied all the history books there and was appalled. Even when the two species coexisted, humans engaged in enormous conflicts that tore through entire nations and claimed millions of lives. They were only prevented from doing this again because their specialized weaponry would destroy them.

As she prepared to read, she thought to herself, "But they seem not to mind now using them against their oldest friends." In addition to becoming the war's victims, they greatly influenced the course of the events and conflicts.

Then Twilight made the decision to leave the library. She'd seen and read enough already. Twilight murmured as she made her way to the mess hall to locate the others, "These humans.. their monsters."

Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Brine were conversing while seated in the Mess Hall.

Fluttershy inquires, "What was it like back on your world?" Did you keep any pets?

Brine gave her a glance. Actually, no. During the Great War, the majority of Earth's animal and plant life perished, according to Brine.

Applejack exclaimed as she sipped her coffee, "Whoa." Was the Great War really so bad?

Brine's thoughts go back in time. when an assault was made on Denver.

COLORADO: DENVER, MAY 3, 2026

The Captain cried as Brine's paratroopers leaped from their Black Hawk into the blazing metropolis of Denver, "Denver must not fall!"

The Armies of Humans were attacking their base of operations and refugee camp, and they had nowhere else to go.

To the bitter end, they must struggle.

As they prepared the remainder of their equipment, Brine's squad, which included Verner and his friends, chose to take cover after landing close to a police station that had been bombed.

Verner shouted as he put together a commutations device, "Jezz, they're going to rip the city apart!"

Brine screamed, "They want to kill us!" as he swiftly executed a person who had run inside to escape the blast. He had just turned twenty.

Verner said, "Poor kid," as he gazed at the dead person. He is only a few years out of his teens and already fighting a battle.

With a dejected expression on his face, Brine remarked, "There's nothing we can do. But in order to better recapture the air, we must bring this equipment to the roof and turn it on.

As the struggle for Denver continued all around them, the pack of super puppies fled to the police station's roof.

One of Verner's friends exclaimed as he fired one of their helicopters, "Dude, this must be what hell looks like!"

Brine shouted as he continued to fire an M60 machine gun at additional helicopters, "No, this is much worse than Hell ever could be!"

Verner shouted, "It's working!" as the weapon went into operation, destroying all neighboring systems and bringing down the helicopters with fiery explosions.

WHILE: IN THE UPPER LIMITS OF THE EARTH:

A communication from Denver is received by a set of satellites. It said simply one thing:

Destroy.

Massive bombs and lasers detonated as they descended toward the places of humanity as the satellites activated their weaponry.

The explosives detonated one at a time, leaving behind hundreds of dead bodies and the remainder to be burnt alive by the lasers.

As the screams and panicked shouts reached their ears, one of Verner's friends exclaimed, "Take that you bitchs!" But Brine has heard a different sound.

Brine roared at them, pushing them over the roof, "Get down!" Three cruise missiles struck their target seconds later, obliterating the whole structure.

Verner shouted, "Ow!" and grabbed his shoulder. Due to the fall, it had shattered. Brine struck a soldier in the neck with a knife even though he wasn't harmed.

Brine shouted, "We've got to leave NOW!" Verner is injured. We must return to headquarters.

The four start the arduous journey back to headquarters while escaping patrols after Brine swiftly grabbed Verner and placed him over his shoulder.

The one thing they didn't anticipate was a massive bombardment that occurred a few kilometers from their headquarters.

Say "Get down!" While being thrown away from Verner, Brine heard them shout as explosions boomed in his ears.

Brine's ears were ringing, and his eyesight was fuzzy. He said that his head was also bleeding.

Despite the bombs and missiles falling all around him, he crept towards Verner. When he finally got to him, he wrapped his body around him.

Verner screamed, "What are you doing? "Leave me behind and run."

Brine responded, "Not a chance dude," as a bomb landed on his back. As soon as he realized something was leaking this time, his back began to hurt. But he is unwilling to go.

He remained there for three minutes straight, his back bleeding and suffering, and he only left when the bombs went off. When they finished, he collapsed and passed out.

PRESENT:

"Brine, um?"

Brine jolted back to the present. Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash were all giving him worried looks.

Rainbow Dash laid her hoof on his shoulder and said, "You ok dude?" "I'm fine," Brine said. "Just when you asked that question, Applejack, it brought back a memory."

Just then, Twilight walked into the space. She inquires, "What's going on in here?"

Talking, not much, remarked Applejack as she drank her coffee. "Then, for approximately three minutes, Brine simply froze in position.

Twilight asks Brine to get up, "Why?" The four were stunned when Brine responded, "Because of this," before taking off his shirt.

Most of his back was made of metal. That is a mess, Twilight said. Brine shrugged.

Brine yawned, "That was from the Battle of Denver. Having worked all day, he was worn out. He muttered as he grabbed his clothing and walked away, "I'm going to bed."

Rainbow Dash followed him, saying, "Me too.

Hey Twilight," Applejack said. Have you observed Rainbow acting differently than usual?

Twilight smiled and said, "I saw it. But she is skilled in what she is doing.

LATER:

Brine was preparing for a party. When he heard a knock at the door, he was trying to relax and thought that going to the party with everyone else could assist him.

Brine responded, "Come in," as he put on one of his black shirts. Rainbow Dash entered the room. "Oh, it's you, Rainbow," Brine remarked.

Rainbow Dash stated, "I wanted to chat about something. Ask Brine, "What's up?"

Rainbow Dash stated, "I... really like you." Brine nearly passed out on the ground. That was a complete surprise.

Brine spat, "Do.. you mean it, literality?" Because... I also truly like you.

He hadn't anticipated this. It happens so quickly.

Slowly moving toward him, Rainbow Dash gave him a kiss. It felt satisfying. Only the noises of the ocean could be heard as brine kissed it back.

THE NEXT MORNING:

"Sir," stated the AWAS's pilot. "The situation here is very serious."

When the AWAS sent an urgent call, Chase had to pick up the phone even though he was on a call with the rest of the fleet. Tell me the issue, demanded Chase.

The pilot announced, "That city they call Manehattan, the one we are supposed to drop the girls off in, has been compromised."

Chase said, "What do you mean?" The pilot reported that pirates had taken over the entire city and had an even greater force than the previous group we faced.

Chase was not pleased. Chase hurled a boot across the room and snarled, "I thought we took care of those fucking pirates and they come back with a larger army!"

The pilot asks, "What should we do?" Chase advised ordering all systems online. "We're entering a war."

Alarms went off across the fleet, rousing the primary six. They see Rainbow and Brine sprinting down the corridor in their fight gear as they exit their room.

Twilight queries, "What's going on?" Brine's words, "Meet us on the deck NOW," sent a chill down her spine. The German Shepard terrified her.

The females followed the two troops to the deck, where Verner and other soldiers were present and Chase was giving mission briefs.

Brine inquires, "What's going on, dad?" Manhattan has been attacked, and we will respond, declared Chase.

Rainbow exclaimed in a fit of wrath, her shocked expression being replaced with, "Who attack!" Chase said, "Pirates." That gang is furious, I can tell.

Chase continued, "You are being loaded into the LCTs. "I am sure you know what to do."

Brine said, "I sure do," as his M4 pistol clicked. "Let's make sure that these pirates are not a laughingstock."

Manehattan:

The commander of the pirates, Captain Bloodsucker, screamed, "Where is RAINBOW DASH AND HER SILLY FIRIENDS!" as he grabbed Celestia by the neck. Due to being unconscious, Luna was restrained in a corner and helpless.

I have told you, Celestia replied haltingly. "I sent them to seek for her; I have no idea where they are. I just know that.

When one of his crew members entered the room, the Leader, who was enraged with Celestia, was going to hit her again. The boy called out, "Sir." "You've got to see this!"

The Leader and his crewmate left the room after the Leader made the decision to assassinate Celestia later.

The other crew member cried, "It's coming from the sea." They are coming to destroy us, and their destinies depend on it.

The Leader said as he levitated a pair of binoculars and peered through them, "What are you talking about?" More than the voice, what he saw after that shocked him.

Chase said over the microphone, "We are the United Republic," as the vast blue water fleet proceeded in the direction of the Beaches of Manhattan. And if you don't give up, we're prepared to punish you.

Picking up a blowhorn, the leader responded with two words. "FUCK US!"

"Alright then," said Chase as he put on a fighter pilot helmet. "You ask for it."

Five seconds after he said that, there was a loud roar, followed by massive explosions on the beaches. Any pirate or ship near the beach was blown to pieces.

"What the hell are these things!" yelled one of the pirates, a young lad as he jump over his burning ship. He watch as the ship sank under the waves.

Meanwhile, the air force was moving in, with Chase in command. "Alright boys, let's show these foes how we roll!"

Their bays opened, revealing their loads of missiles and bombs. One by one, the flew and exploded once contact.

"Who are these guys!" yelled a pirate as he try to run for cover. "They are killing us!"

The leader watch from his building in horror. Smoke raise into the sky as fires and his fleet, burn.

But that wasn't the last of the assault. There was more to come.

Approaching the beaches, came several landing craft of all types. And in one of those craft where Brine, Rainbow Dash and her friends and Venver.

"Got ready to make some noise!" yelled Brine as Rainbow Dash and Venver check their guns. "Twilight, you and your friends are on medic and backup duty."

"Ok, sir," said Twilight hastily. She had no idea what her or her friends were walking into.

Suddenly, their craft stop. "Let's go!" yelled Brine as him, Venver and Rainbow Dash ran into the fray. Twilight and the rest of her friends follow.. and what they saw shook them to their core.

Bodies of the pirates laid across the beach, some burning. Their once proud ships now blow into bits. And fires were spreading.

They turned and saw a M1A2 Abrams tank with a M2 Bradley racing ahead off them, firing their weapons.

"Liberty!" she heard them yell. "This pups are crazy," muttered Twilight.

Brine and them took covered behind a overturn cart. They were pushing into the city as Attack Helicopters roared overhead.

"Alright," said Brine as he saw them a hologram. "Our targets are in his building," said Brine. "Your and their Leaders are inside this building. Our goal is to rescue and capture them."

"I hope their alright," muttered Fluttershy. "Then what are we waiting for," yelled Rainbow. "Let's go save them."

MEANWHILE:

"Targets at 5o clock" said an Apache pilot. The two helicopters were pursuing three Pegasus pirates through the Manehattan skyline.

"Ahh!!" yelled One of the Pegasus Pirates as the Apache's chain gun rip through his flesh, causing him to fall to the street, already burning, dead.

The helicopters countied to cause them.

"What are we going to do?" yelled one of the pirates as his friend exploded upon contact with a hellfire missile.

The Pirate had nowhere to run. So he did the only thing he could.

"Stop!" Yelled the Pirate. "I surrender! Don't fire whatever those things are!"

The Apache's surrounded him. Cold Sweat poured from his head.

"Alright," said the Pilot, finally reviving him of his fear. "Just follow and don't do anything you won't want to. You are now a prisoner of the United Republic."

That struck him as odd. The word Republic wasn't in their language. The only Republic was the Griffons and that turned out terrible for them.

But he didn't want to make the aliens mad and blow him to bits, so he followed them like they request, not knowing what fate was in store.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the Ground forces were pushing through the pirates Defenses as the pirates ran away in fear AFTER finding out that arrows can't break through Tank armor.

"Allons-y" yelled a French bulldog as he fired the 50 caliber machine gun. Meanwhile, A Hummer zoom bye, carrying Brine and his group.

The Hummer stop in front of the Tallest Building. "Their on the top floor!" yelled Brine as he jump out of the car. "Let's go!"

The group ran inside the building. Once they got inside, they were greeted with several bodies. Even Children.

Fluttershy closed her eyes, while Brine shook his head. "Rest in peace, little souls," said Venver as they took the stairs.

Meanwhile: A School a few blocks down:

"Get on the ground NOW!" yelled a pirate as he pointed a spear at a filly, barely 8. Her teacher was dead and they wanted to kill them.

She refuse, though. She was always told to stand up to bullies and anyone who threaten her. "No" she refuse again.

The Pirate was piss. "You're asking for it then," said the Pirate as he lift his spear to kill her.

But before he had the chance to do it, the wall behind the group exploded, revealing a group of weird looking things as they fired there even weirder weapons at them, killing them instantly.

One of the them walk over near the filly and she got a good look at him. He look like a dog her parents had, only bigger and had a weird armor with his strange weapon.

"Are you ok little one?" ask the alien soldier. His voice was sweet. It didn't seem like he was going to kill her like in those alien movies.

"Yeah," said the filly. "Come with us," said the Soldier, putting out his paw. "We have a nice safe place for you all until we can find your parents.

The filly accepted and the rest followed the squad down the burning streets.

Back in the tower:

Brine, Venver, Rainbow Dash and the rest of her friends had gotten to the top of the floor where they were holding the Two Princesses hostage. Twilight was glad that her Brother Shining Armor and Cadence weren't here.

"Frags," ask Venver, pulling out one from his bag. "Yes," said Brine as he too pulled out a smoke grenade.

Brine toss his first and trap the Pirates standing guard outside the door in thick smoke. "What was that?!" cough one of the pirates. "I can't see anything."

Venver toss his and the duo exploded, leaving a bloody mess. "Job well done," said Brine as they advance to the door.

Rarity nearly fainted at the sight of so much blood.

"Venver," said Brine. "Get out the charges." "Already ready," said Venver as he out the charge on the door. He could hear commotion on the other side.

"They are going to kill them," yelled Brine. "let's go!" Brine pulled the trigger and the door exploded.

It seemed like slow motion. Brine, Rainbow Dash and Venver ran into the room, taking out the guards. The Leader was pointing a crossbow at Celestia when Brine shot at his hoof.

"Argh!" yelled the Leader as he hold his bleeding hoof. He was smack in the head by Venver with his gun.

"You are under Arrest by the United Republic for Crimes against Humanity," said Brine as Venver and Rainbow Dash tied him up. "Twilight," check on Celestia."

Twilight ran over to Celestia. She was badly beat and highly dehydration. "She's in bad shape," yelled Twilight.

Brine look over. "She's needs medical attention and so does Luna," said Brine. Activating his Radio," We need a Black Hawk now, we have the V.I.Ps and they need Medical Attention."

"Alright Alpha, we have two black hawks on their way," said the Cat on the other end.

"Alright," said Brine. "Let's get these guys to the roof now!"

The Group carried the Princesses to the roof, which was easier then said. They were big.

"What have they been eating." ask Venver. "They are so tall!"

"That is rude," said Brine, giving Venver the look. "Ok, sorry," said Venver.

The gang finally got to the roof, where two Black Hawks were waiting.

"Well done," said the Sergeant. Zane. "The Pirates are surrounding in the thousands, let's get these guys to the Enterprise."

The gang loaded up in the Black Hawks as they took to the sky.

Brine look as the Manehattan skyline burn with fire. Victory was secure, with the pirates paying dearly for the assault.

No one messes with the United Republic and wins.
