Dark grins. A big warship like this needed a big crew, and 13 extra trainees who could learn 13 jobs in the time it took to learn one would be a big help.
Making his way to Ponyville, BladeRunner looked around. If this was his new post then so be it, it didn't look like much from his opinion.He could see the colorful houses from where he was and continued walking, begin more use to darker more cloudier areas that seemed to be dead, thats where all of the true action takes place. He couldn't stress enough about any of this, he had been in this military for some time and he wasn't going to quit, although, something told him to do so. If he went AWOL then he would be trialed, if he did nothing then he could possibly die, there were many options to leaving a war, but the will never leave.
Lunar opened the doors to reveal a gigantic black battleship with 6 150 mm cannons each with thre barrels, 16 Machine Gun spots, 5 A-A guns, and 4 torpedo Launchers saying: "Meet my flagship it is a ghost ship because the angles allow not to be seen on radar and at night it is almost invisible. What do you think?"
"Very nice... What do you need us to do?" Dark asks. "I think one of us should walk the entire ship, to get a mental layout."
"You will in time first you will met the crew you will serving with." Lunar says pointing to a group of ponies with Shattered Dreams at the front - - Auto Merge - - "And no. it doesn't:
Shattered says "Hi" in an adorable voice. Lunar says "10 of follow the Earth ponies to the Engine room you will be needed there. Dark you will follow me and Shattered to the Bridge. The rest of you will learn to operate the A-A guns." as he walks to the boarding ramp.
10 of the changelings move out of the main group, walking over to the Earth ponies in perfect unison. The remaining two and Dark follow Lunar and Shattered.
Lunar points to the chief gun operator saying "You two with him." Luna gets on the elevator to the bridge,"
Wandering around, this town seemed to be more alive than anything else, thought BladeRunner as he looked at everypony. This seemed like a nice quiet town, more like a vacation home if you were to ask him. If this was his new post, than this would be great. He was around actual shops, homes, and other buildings that he had only seen and read about in books. The country can get pretty lonely, but at the same time, it was quite peaceful.
"Damn, if only I had lived here before..." BladeRunner said as he sat down on a bench. He had walked around this entire town five times, yet he could not find his commanding officer. Were they even here? Was his question as he sighed in relief and grief. He had not sat down in two days, but was not exhausted by the least.
They arrive in the bridge Lunar says: "Dark i need you to rellay info from the other changelings to me." he grasps a mic and says all ponies man you stations. Engine room full speed ahead." with that the Earth ponies start shoveling coal into the steam engines and the ship starts moving at around 20 knots heading toward a cluster of ships on the horizon.
a transmission comes in "This is the E.N.S. Canterlot we have visual on the unidentified. their going to touch down in the ocean." "This is the E.N.S. Luna we are on our war." sounding the battle alarm lunar shouted into the mic "All ponies to your battle stations. This is not a drill. I repeat, all ponies to your battle stations." looking at dark he said "your about to see our naval might." yelling into the mic again "Increase speed." the ship is now going about 50 knots.
-And weaknesses- Dark thinks, hearing a few chuckles from his troops. -Stop that, we're on their side, for now.-
Lunar turns to Dark and says "Dark i need you to make sure the other Changelings know how serious this is." a massive aircraft carrier appears to their left called the E.N.S. Cloudsdale. Its accompanied by 5 battleships, including the E.N.S Canterlot, and 3 Destroyers none of which are as well equipped as the Luna. turning to Dark Lunar says: "This is my personal Naval Fleet." grasping the mic again he says "Lay anchor we'll wait until they touch down."
