The morning dawned on Brine suddenly when a flash of bright sunlight beamed on him. Getting up, he saw it was the systems star, a star he called, Hope.

Hope.

He was calling the star that. It was a Beacon of hope for him and his kind, as it house Earth 2o, their new home.

"All members in the New Horizons mission please report to loading bay now," said a voice through the intercom.

"That's my ride," said Brine as he grab his backpack and walk towards the armory where everyone else was.

"Alright everyone!" Yelled the Drill Sergeant. "Grab your weapons, grab your armor and get going!"

Brine shuffled through his locker. He really needed to clean it one of these days, but that time wasn't now. He was going to explore a planet for God's sake.

He grabbed his weapons of choice from his locker. He always favored the M4 Carbine and his trusted revolver. He had carried that revolver since he shot his first human, saving his father from a doom fate.

After checking that his weapons were loaded tight, he quickly equip his armor on and race towards the loading bay.

Once he arrive at the loading bay, he saw three Ohio Class Ballistic Missile Submarines and the other groups ready to go. Luckily, Verner was joining him.

He ran to Verner, who was really excited to see him. "I can't believe we are actually going to explore our new home."

After a few minutes of yelling at everyone to get to their positions, they were finally ready to drop.

Meanwhile, in the South Luna Sea, Pirate ship

She spitted at him when he dared get close to her again.

This was not her day. Rainbow Dash thought as she squirm in the ropes she was tied up with.

It was suppose to be a normal day. She was doing the greatest record breaker ever. Flying around the world in record time. Her friends and Celestia and Luna themselves were waiting in Manehattan for her.

Now she was stuck on this pirate ship, they call the Jolly Roger.

Their captain, Captain Blackbeard, had decided to take a liking to the rainbow Pegasus and made several attempts to subdue her.

But each time he would get spit on.

Or a kick in the balls.

She grinned as the captain left the room, she could countied her plan to escape. She silently countied to cut the ropes.

MEANWHILE: Onboard the U.R.S Bluefish

Brine hold onto the bar above him. They were ready to drop. And maybe someone's stomach. Everyone was told they couldn't eat as they didn't want a mess onboard the submarine.

And besides, it smell terrible.

Soon, the alarms started to blare, showing it's time. 3... 2... 1... Release.

The Submarines drop from the U.R.S Enterprise and begin their descend to the oceans below. It wasn't easy, they had to hold on for dear life, unless someone wanted their backs or their spines broken.

Brine look over to Verner, who was next to him. His eyes were close, probity meditating. He like to do that.

SPLASH. The entire sub lunch as it crash into the cold blue waters of the seas of Earth 2.

Once they were told they could get up, the crew, including Verner, who snap out of it, yelled and cheered as they were the first crew to land on their new home.

Brine, though, didn't want to. He was remembering Tech's words before they left the Enterprise.

"If there's life, just be careful. We don't know their prowess."

He decided he needed a breath of fresh air and walked to the hatch. He stop before he opened it. He was warned even though the sensors didn't pick up anything, the air could be toxic.

Deciding to risk it, he opened the hatch.

He was greeted by the blazing rays of the sun. The sun.

He step out onto the deck. He felt the wind, chill breeze of the ocean. He felt the rays of the sun. No Pollution, nothing. Just the sounds of the sea.

He couldn't help himself anymore.

"Freedom and Liberty to All!" he howled as the rest of the crews of the other submarines heard him and howled in unity, letting their voice be heard.

Brine raced to the captain's quarters. Once he arrive, he saw the officers retelling their discovery back to the U.R.S Enterprise.

"Sergeant Brine," said a familiar voice. "Do you want something?"

Brine turned around and saw the captain, Captain Zuma, fresh in his glory. "I want to take a fly test, using my jetpack," said Brine, standing straight for him.

He giggled. "Of course silly," said Captain Zuma, rubbing his head. "I'm your uncle, only I and you can decided what you do."

Before he could say another word, Brine was gone in a flash. He laugh. "Chase and Skye had such a great son," he said as he countied his duties.

Brine reach the equipment room and came smashing in, hitting his head in the progress. "Ow," said Brine as he close the door. "Now, let's get flying," he said with a grin.

A FEW MINUTES LATER:

"This is awesome!" yelled Brine as he flew around the sky, above the cruising submarines. He was filled with joy. He never felt this happy before, not being shot at by enemies wanting to kill him.

He was at his peace. As he countied to fly, he thought about it. This is wat he ever wanted in life. To be at peace, not fighting to survive.

He was happy.

Meanwhile, back abroad the Jolly Roger:

"Finally," Rainbow mumble as the ropes slip off of here. She listen to the crew above her. It seem like they were getting drunk. It was her time to escape and get the hell out of here.

Slowly and quietly, she left the room and climb to the deck. She didn't see anyone.

"That's strange," she thought. "I swear I heard them."

Just then, she was jump by a pirate and she quickly knock him out, before the rest of the crew surrounded her.

Meanwhile, Brine was still flying around when his ears pick up Rainbow's cries.

"Did I... just hear a alien scream for help?" he ask himself, wondering in confusion. He thought about it. "I should go investigate this matter," he said as he flew towards the sound.
