Above a planet opens the exit point of solar rupture, the ship fly's out of it at a angle with hull fragments and debris at passing it. Solar picks himself off the ground to look out the window to see the planet, then closes his eyes in frustration.

Solar:" Marine... I'm going to demote you, for jinxing us"
Marine:"I hate Irony"
Catherine:"Irony... It's a Bitch"

As they exit, the last light immediately begins to nose dive towards the planet as they are pulled down
the crew inside notice this as they feel their weight being pulled at an angle instead of directly down.
Solar:" do not tell me we are inside that planets gravitational pull..."

Catherine:" Can we use the escape pods?"

James:" NO!, they took them all out during the fight, we have None Left!"

People started to panic, a marine could be heard screaming 'we are all gonna die!' a fellow marine told him to get his crap together.
Solar:"Well then, give me ship wide comms. 'Everyone is to assemble into the central corridor of the ship and is to brace for a crash landing'. that includes all of you!"

Catherine:" what about yourself sir?"

Solar:" I'll pilot the Last Light down myself"

everyone starts to evacuate the bridge besides Catherine
Catherine:" if you plan on piloting this shop your self, then you have another thing coming! you can't order me to leave, like it or not."

Solar gets into the last lights pilot seat while also telling her off."well don't expect me to let you off for disobeying a direct order!"

Catherine:" to hell with orders captain, you can't pilot a ship by your self"
Flames begin to engulf the front of the ship and it starts to violently shake as

they enter the atmosphere. Solar gets into a pilot seat, he looks down to see the glass below was starting to crack due to heat stress, meaning if he fell off the seat, he would most likely go straight through it and die.
Catherine went on a navigation console behind Solar and she started to calculate a trajectory for the ship to take so it wouldn't burn up in the atmosphere and be able to burn off some speed so that the ship wouldn't just compact itself into a 200 meter thick pancake.
Catherine:" Sir, you need to get us into a 45 degree trajectory ,I am giving you a flight path and-"

Solar:" I know what a 45 degree trajectory looks like, just give me heads up on whats ahead when we are in the clouds."
Solar begins to operate the console in order to pull the Last Light up and

hopefully avoid catastrophic damage that would ground the ship permanently. Somehow he is able to use his hooves to operate the ship without registration errors, but that did not make up for Solar's skills at piloting the ship not being as good as an actual specialised and trained pilot, meaning that there was an increased danger of there being a mess up causing the ship to spin out of control or hit a mountain or something else that solid and can be avoided.

Solar:" Should not have dismissed everyone. I have trained to be able to pilot large ships for a lot of my career but i did not specialise in it, so really we should have a pilot at the helm..."

As solar said that, Ensign James rushes back onto the bridge, almost like he is able to predict the future and knew that solar was going to say that so he was just waiting right around the corner.
James:" Yes Yes, I am disobeying a direct order and bla bla, i honestly don't care because you need a real pilot, captain."

Solar doesn't even argue with James and instead just gives him a quick nod over to his station next to solar.
Solar:" Transferring primary flight controls to piloting station Delta"

James:" Transfer Complete, Taking control. Alright captain, this is why you have a professional pilot always at the helms of your ships."

James Begins to realign the ship and take it for a nose dive.
Solar:" What the hell are you doing?"

Catherine:" I think hes trying to land us over at that large continent"

Jame:" We need a lot of space for this thing to land, its a halcyon light cruiser juiced up to the autumns standards, we need a lot of space for it to land without it shredding itself on the water"

Solar:" I know how to land this thing, But why the hell are we nose diving?"

James:" Well, one thing i know about old halcyon Engine Batterys, they charge up in atmospheric heat due the lithium magnesium and iridium, or better known as Trimagnite fluids, stealing electrons from the metals when hot enough and then the metals steal electrons from the atmosphere, its genius the design of it, before they discovered the newer compounds that they could use to make better batterys"

Solar:" And they were going to replace them when we got back from our test run. Now i think I'll keep them. Catherine whats the charge"

Catherine:" we have got 84% charge across the board from 0%, but we have an energy leak in the starboard battery cells, so we don't have as much energy as one might think"

as the ship starts to clear the atmospheric turbulence and gets past the planet trying to burn them, they enter the cloud layer for a moment and in that moment they hit a mountain that shreds off a part of the ship and causes a cascading systems failure due to overloading network conduits.

James:" Shit! I couldn't have seen that, the clouds are too thick to see that far ahead"

Solar:" I know, Catherine! Why the hell-"

Catherine:" It just detected it as we were about to hit it, And now he have a cascading systems failure, i estimate by the way its going we only have 3 minutes before damage becomes permanent and this ship will never be space born again without being in dry dock."

James:" Well that means we are just going to have to land this thing now, going in at a 75 degree angle to get us close with all maneuvering thrusters firing back to slow us down and hopefully stop us from getting any faster"

The ship plunges out of the clouds, falling in fire and smoke from all of the on board damage.
It begins to pull up around 300 meter off the ground, leaving no room for error.
The ship gets into a stable 3 degree decline when its only 25 meters off the ground. Large rocks across the surface begin to hit the ship, denting the hull and shaking the ship about but also helps it slow down.
James:" Sir, I'm going to have to touch her down in a few seconds, you may want to warn everyone."

Solar:" 'to all personal, we are about to land on the planet and its going to be rough, we are on a three degree decline and going around 600 M/S, everyone hold on' want to tell me about how to do my job anyway else Ensign?"

A moment later they hit the ground, and hard. the ship vibrates violently, shaking overhead plates loose and wires come out of the ceiling as well as a lot of sparks start to come from systems newly getting damaged from all of it.
Catherine's console decides to be useful and informs her that only 40 kilometers away was a cliff side that lead down into a valley and the cliff sides estimated height was around 100 kilometers from the base of the valley.
Catherine:" Sir, we have a massive drop ahead of us, and i mean massive"

James:" How far ah-EK-ead *cough Cough* Oh Man, this is one hell of a rough ride"

The ship was going over small jumps making it rather hard to talk
Catherine:" around forty KM ahead, so that gives us roughly one minute to think about what we are going to do"

James:" Ohhh SHIT! We are too heavy to burn off our speed in that kind of time, We are so screwed, unless you have some kind of trick up your sleeves captain."

Solar gets out of the piloting station and stands on the platform between the two, then stands as tall as he could so he could look heroic when speaks.
Solar:" Do i look like someone who would wake up in the morning and leave his room without tricks up my sleeves? I ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING!"
His Body Changed into tougher stances, his legs a little bit out from under his body and his head in front and closer to his body. His horn begins to glow in a vibrant color which also starts to engulf the ship and everyone in it.
The ship then began to rapidly slow down, according to the shipboard

instruments and by looking outside, but no one felt a thing, no inertia at all.
Catherine:" 500 Meters a second, 400 meters a second! we are slowing down rapidly sir!"
Solar:" Of cause we are, I am-"
As he was speaking, one of the support beams in the bridges window was hit by something and caused it to snap from one of its joints, Impaling James straight through his chest, puncturing one of his lungs and causing him to spew out blood across his console and the bridges window that still remained intact.
Catherine:" JAMES!"
Solar turned his head a bit to see James, bleeding and spewing out blood, shaking violently from pain and Catherine trying to get the metal rod out of him.
Solar:" What... HOW!..." he looks around and sees where it snapped off, and also sees all the blood around James.
Then he looks at himself. blood, and lots of it.
Solar then realised he was covered in a dying mans blood, He couldn't focus on anything, then he started to think about blood, then death. Then it hit him, what he was doing all these years, and why equines never go to war.

He spent years on ships, killing Covenant and surviving missions, never Truly understating what this war would cost him and what he was doing to others, until now, where someone he knows starts to die in front of him.
Now he understood what it meant to kill. It meant to take away from someone else, a friend, a father... a brother... a sister, a life that matters to someone.
Thats what he was doing all those years, taking away someones loved one when he destroyed enemy ships. Every time a ship was destroyed, it meant a family would have to morn the loss of another son or daughter.
then they would want revenge, so they would kill someone else family in the name of revenge, starting the ever bitter cycle for it to continue on till it has burned through everyone it can.
now so many want his blood, unlike a marine, the deaths of millions are on him. He used to see the enemy ships as just objects, and when he killed covenant face to face, he would always see them as an evil enemy that sought the destruction of everything, just something in the way of peace, not a solder with life in his lungs and a conscience of his own. War wasn't any game and Solar could see that now, he could see the consequences of his actions clearly.

He looked at James again, who was asking Catherine to tell Emily his last thoughts were of her, and that he wanted to take her to someplace quiet and tropical, someplace where he could of proposed to her once this was all over.

Solar snapped out of his deep thought and focused on the two things he had to do, which meant multitasking was going to be a thing. He always hated doing it.

He started to multi task, While still slowing down the ship, he also began to remove the rod from James chest and tosses it to the side, he heats up the area around the breached lung to seal and cauterize the damage, buying James some time ti live.
Solar:" Catherine, Thats all i can do, take him to a med bay and tell one of the staff that i have fixed up the lung as best i can in this situation. Now GO!"
Catherine picks up James who is till coughing out blood due to massive internal damage and internal bleeding. She then starts to run with the badly injured Ensign to the nearest medical facility that was still active aboard the currently crashing Last Light.
Solar is left alone on the bridge and he focuses all his magical power on slowing the Last Light Down. 200 M/S, 100M/S. Still wasn't going to be enough, so in a last ditch effort, Solar put up a magic infused hard light shield just before the drop, so it would catch the ship.

A few moments later the ship impacts the shield, Brutally hard. it causes Solar to get tossed forward into the window, nearly breaking through and then to drop to the bottom of the pit, with a whole bunch of debris falling on top of him. Before he losses conciseness, he uses his magic to move the ship back further away from the edge. His vision starts to get hazy and go dark and before he completely passes out he hears a woman's voice calling out to him. he trys to look up to see who it his but passes out before doing so.


Hey guys, So its been awhile since the last chapter came out and I'm going to aim for once a week chapter releases.
Anyway please point out any problems or typos as well suggesting ideas for the story.
