(Day 1 of the battle)
"I want to know why my fighters haven't launched yet" Lucy demanded
"Your majesty, we heavily outgun the imperial navy, fighters are unnecessary at this-
"I want this battle over as quick as possible. I need to reclaim my empire"
"Your majesty, the tantrum is joining the battle. It appears to have been commandeered by the entire population of planet equestria" General Crisp informed her
Just as he finished saying that, the lucys tantrum appeared with the imperial fleet, with all her royal crests painted over and replaced with unicorns
"That colony only has 50 inhabitants living in it, how're they even flying that ship?" Lucy asked
"From my calculations, not well" said General smoreline
(Onboard the tantrum)
The ponies onboard were panicking, for they really didn't know what they were doing.
"What were we thinking stealing this thing? I'm a cherry farmer not a pilot" shouted a unicorn
"I just wanted to be independent from Lucy, is that so much to ask?" A normal pony asked
"Shut up and fire the batteries"
The ponies pushed some buttons and fired the ships weapons, unfortunately they fired at one of the star destroyers.
"Don't fire at our own ship, they're helping us remember?"
(Back on Lucy 1)
"It would seem the ship is very undercrewed" said General smoreline
"Prepare boarding parties, target the tantrum and one of the star destroyers. Once the secret weapon is primed, fire at the Ravager" Lucy ordered
"Which ones the ravager again my queen?" A droid asked
"The super star destroyer" Lucy pointed out
(Star destroyer Tarkins revenge)
Zeke and his friend Luke sat at a table with their helmets off, drinking imperial liquid food, which was a type of milk designed to give them all the energy they needed.
"So how is honey anyway?" Luke asked zeke
"She's fine. We had a fun day together yesterday. I'll be honest, not sure if this life is what I want to do" said zeke
"I'll admit I'm considering a career change myself. I've served 4 tours with the empire, I'm ready to move on. I hear the Litwak city royal family's starting a new police force, I'm thinking of joining" said Luke "you should join me, I think you'd make a good cop"
"Yeah, maybe I would. First we gotta finish this tour. Hope this admiral thrawn knows what he's doing" said Zeke
"Admiral Thrawn I heard had to leave, Moff Williams is leading the attack aboard the ravager. I'm surprised queen Lucy has went this far with her subjects. I don't know much about her but as soon as we take her down we can go home" said Luke
"Let's get this job done" said Zeke
"For Monica" said Luke as he held his cup up
"For Honey" said Zeke as he did the same thing
"For the empire" said the 2 before finishing their drinks
"I definitely won't miss this stuff" said Luke
"Attention Attention! Enemy boarding craft entering the hangar bay. All crew report to their battle stations immediately" shouted the PA
The 2 grabbed their helmets and blasters before rushing down to the main hangar at the bottom of the destroyer. HMP droid gunships flew in dropping off droids before lifting off to fire at the defending troopers.
"We need rocket launchers to take down the gunships" Zeke shouted to his squad mate Gordon
"Heavy weapons troopers are on their way, we need to take down the-
A commando droid took Gordon out before rushing for zeke. Zeke wrestled with the machine before Luke found an opening to shoot the head off. Heavy weapons troopers aimed at the gunships and fired rockets, taking the gunships down. After a fierce firefight which lasted half an hour, the invading droids were defeated. While victory was assured on the Tarkins revenge, the lucys tantrum was overrun by the droids, and all the my little ponies had to retreat in escape pods back to Litwak city.
As that happened, the large spires on top of the Lucy 1 began glowing. With a perfect shot, a large beam was fired at the Ravager, not destroying it, but heavily damaging it. The navy had no choice but to retreat, for now. They headed for lucys orbital shipyards to repair.
"My queen, the enemy is retreating, shall we go after them?" RB-117 asked Lucy
"No. Hold the line. They'll be back" said Lucy
"They are heading for the shipyards, if we lose those-
"Let them take them. They won't do them any good. Hold the blockade of my castle. I want the shields and cannons to reset to a full charge on all our cruisers. We have won the first round" said Lucy
"What's to become of the ponies that escaped, Lucy?" Mocho asked her
"They are of no concern. Come on mocho, let's go play" said Lucy
(Litwak city orphanage)
Honey was at the orphanage playing with Sophie in her room. They were having a toy battle with army men in a western toy fort.
"This is fun, thanks for playing with me" said Sophie
"By the way, where'd you get this toy fort anyway?" Honey asked
"Gift from mocho, he got it for me at the toy fort store, it was on sale. Have you ever been to a western fort miss Honey?" Sophie asked
"I have actually. Went to a game once called red dead redemption 2, had a fort there I had to ride to to deliver jars of honey" said Honey
"Wow. What was it like?" Sophie asked
"The fort was well run and stocked. It was owned by the US army, I at first thought they weren't villains because come on, the United States is supposed to be good, I ran a us business. But I learned they were villains, red dead's one of those games where you're supposed to be an outlaw and the governments evil. But the soldiers were nice, I made friends with the commanding officer" said Honey
"Wish I could see one of these in person" said Sophie
"Maybe one day I can take you, but that games pretty dangerous, so don't leave my sight if I ever go back and bring you" said Honey
"I was a Jedi, I fought battle droids, I can handle it" said Sophie
Honeys phone began vibrating and she saw she was getting a video call from zeke.
"Sophie I have to take this call, I'll be right back" said Honey
She got up and stepped into the hallway before answering.
"Hey honey, just wanted to check in" said Zeke
"I'm doing fine, miss you already. I'm at the orphanage, playing with Sophie. How's the campaign going?" She asked
"I miss you too. Sorry I didn't say goodbye but I was running late. The campaigns off to a rocky start. The queen sent boarding craft onto the ship. I'm fine but she had this weapon that damaged the Ravager. We've had to make a temporary retreat. I'm in orbit above some shipyard for repairs. I don't know how long we'll be here, but I promise when I return you're the first person I'm coming to see" said Zeke
"Just stay safe out there, please" Honey told him
"I'll try. I gotta go now, gotta study blueprints for a lucrehulk, need to find weak spots. But I'll call you again when I get a chance before tonight" said Zeke
"I love you, talk later"
Honey finished the conversation before heading back into Sophie's room to play with her some more
"Is everything ok miss Honey?" Sophie asked
"Yeah, everything's fine. Come on, fort Bravo isn't gonna defend itself" said Honey
The 2 went back to playing. Honey loved playing, she didn't get to do a lot of it as a kid. Secretly she wanted one of these toy forts. But also deep down, she worried for zeke. She hoped he'd be ok.
