Steel was Shouting orders and mobilising his troops. "on my mark fire the ground to orbit beam cannons... Now". Large beams of pure crystal energy was fired out into the orbit. "sir 10 fighters and one command vessel destroyed". "these sentient pandas who lived here before us, sure had some powerful weapons. Send midnight our results and once this wars over I might send some of those cannons to the other planets".
Brotherhood Prime lay completely silent in space, waiting for the right moment to open fire. They say the wormhole suddenly fluctuate and a human Man O War started coming in. "Wait for it, wait for it…" Midnight whispered. The Man O War was now directly in front of them, "FIRE!" suddenly a barrage of energy weaponry flung itself at the Man O War, disabling it, "FIRE MA CANNON #3!" the entire ship jerked back as the massive MA round was fired off. In the blink of an eye, a massive hole was ripped right in the Man O' War, which soon exploded in a series of smaller explosions. "Two down, a whole fleet to go." Midnight whispered as the ship slipped back into stealth mode, which meant no communication with the outside world.
"Sir! We have gotten word of even more human contact!" A soldier called to Firebreeze. "Get me some soldiers and get them on the Victor, we're joining this fight!" He called out, running to the Victor. ________________________________ "We've lost a Man O War to a massive enemy ship!" A soldier called to his leader, who chuckled and said, "Send in three V3 MoWs, those should do the job right."
Dark Shine flicked on his radar and almost immediatly detected conflict. "Mother of Celestia... Men, prepare the supply ships! We aid the battle!" He then turned and put on several gear. A visor, with several screens. A black suit with a badge of his cutie mark. Wing guards. Back up, hoof phanoto-shields. "Crew, prepare to depart. Take as much supplies as possible. Ensure shields are up to max. GO!"
Most of the Brotherhood fleet that was being relocated to outside the the wormhole had arrived by the time three Man O' Wars slipped out of the wormhole, and right into a massive trap. Only one escaped, after being cut to peices and barely operatable, by now, Midnight was confident they could keep it up if the humans kept coming at this rate. And once the others arrived, it would be all over for the humans in the Hope System.
"Sir! Our MoW's have been devastated!" A human soldier called to the leader. "Good..." He replied, "They should be good and cocky now... Prepare to activate the second and third wormholes, then we will show them our true power!" _____________________ Meanwhile, the FoT victor neared the wormhol, then made connections with Midnight and his ship. "That's quite a ship you've got there, Midnight."
"Yes, can you hold down for a little bit, I have an idea." Midnight told Firebreeze, before turning to his fleet comms, "All ships, we are going on the offensive, enter the wormhole!" the Brotherhood Prime glided into the wormhole followed by the Brotherhood fleet, appearing somewhere no pony ever thought they would see again, "Equestria." Midnight whispered, "THEIR USING OUR HOME AS A STAGING BASE!" he yelled. The radar became filled with enough ships to face the Brotherhood ship for ship, "KILL THEM ALL!" Midnight yelled, and the fleets started blazing from firing so many shots, each fleets massive amount of space fighters engaged in combat all over the place. The Brotherhood Prime shook from its shield taking many hits but none yet penetrated, "Aim the MA Cannons for the largest ships, keep those space fighters off us!" Midnight ordered. This was going to be the battle of the century.
(This is NOT what I had planned at all...) "They're attacking!" A human soldier yelled out. "Uncloak the ship and destroy they're leader ship!" The leader called as the massive EOD-2 appeared, "Send them to hell!" Suddenly, an astounding amount of cannons began to fire at Brotherhood Prime, inflicting massive amounts of damage.
Dark Shine watched from the head of the Night Eternal as a fleet dove into the wormhole. "My word. Send out a message to the remaining fleet over there! Tell them we have supplies if they need!" Dark Shine shouted back to several Deer at a set of keyboards as they tapped away and spoke the message Dark just said.
(I was just doing what any real commander would do, trying to capitalize on a victory.) "Keep it up, keep the repair bots up! Keep those sheilds up! Protect critical areas!" Midnight yelled at his crew. The crew was scrambling over the controls, trying to isolate damages. Then, suddenly a massive explosion rocked the front of the ship te shook everypony out of their seats. When they looked at the damaged, the entire front of the ship was a blasted out hulk. The next decision Midnight was pivotal, "Withdraw to Sanctuary! We shall hold them there!" Within moments, the remaining ships, which was the vast majority of the original ones thanks to the humans concentrating on the Prime, had left and gone to Sanctuary and other heavily defended bases. But the humans had suffered a loss of half their fleet, and most had some kind of damage, but with the Brotherhood out of the way...
Firebreeze frantically tried to connect to Midnight, "Dammit Midnight!" he yelled, "Pick up!" "We're getting word of another wormhole, sir!" A soldier called. "Dammit!" Fire yelled, today was only getting worse, "Prepare the Little Brothers and Phoenixes! We're gonna hold them back! And somepony get me a connection to Rashall!"
The Brotherhood fleet appeared outside the wormhole and sailed right past the other fleets with only one connection, "Be ready." and then it flew towards its destinations.
Dark Shine listened to this message. "Be ready." He sat there for a few moments. Then, he began to retake command. "All units, Repeat, all units! Fall back to Tarath! We shall prepare our shields! We shall prepare our supplies and go into lock down until saftey is guarentee'd!" At the command the Midnight Eternal makes a U-turn and retreats back to the frozen planet.
Steel tuned into firebreezes comms "fire, this is steel seems we've got a bit of a problem down on pandarix, vehicles and weapons not working, at least our ground to orbit beam cannons are working". With that said the comm link still stayed on for further communications.
(Cobra, the humans have barely entered the system, how are you taking a beating?) Midnight Sun had found his way back to the Tower, from there he activated the emergency defense sytems and then turned his attention upwards, hoping that they could hold.
Fire went to his comms, "The FoT fleet is fully functional right now, we're gonna hold back the humans. We'll need some assistance soon, i'm sure."
Dark Shine intercepted the message as he did with all messages sent out. "Men, you may opt out if you wish, or you can help me to help them to save the hope system! Are you with me?!" He called out. "YES!" Was the reply of all the men in unison. "Good. We depart." Then the Night Eternal shot out towards the transmission source, ready to aid. "Attention FoT this is Night Eternal, we intercepted a transmission stating you may requir assitance, please confirm."
A contact made its way to the FoT fleet, "Hello Firebreeze, this is OPIAT. Midnight Sun doesn't realize it yet, but I have taken control of the great Surface Anti Spaceship MA Cannons of the Brotherhood across the system. I shall do my best to help, if you see a human ship suddenly explode, do not be alarmed."
"Ok, lads and robots, we've seen what that human ship can do to such a powerful craft as the Brotherhood Prime, but i'm sure our numbers, strength, and courage will get us through this one way or another! I've already had to watch these jerks take my home once, and I am NOT letting it happen again!" Fire yelled into the comms, "Today, we push them back to hell where they belong!" "The second wormhole is opening!" A FoT soldier yelled before the humans began to pour into the system. "FIGHT!" Firebreeze yelled.
OPIAT saw the wormholes open, but he refused to fire, even though he pointed every GSAS-MA Cannon at the wormholes, he knew better, know was not the time. Wait, wait for the humans to come out with their whole fleet, then knock out the leaders, that was much better. He knew Human organization like the back of his curcuitry, he knew what to aim for.
