4 Years after Alicorn's "Birth."

Aircraft carrier Yorktown and a few HO shops, Puffin, Tanager and Marigold, sailing through the ocean with Alicorn's sub behind them. Alicorn's sub is being operated by a small crew as Alicorn, Yorktown and Erik are on the Aircraft carrier.

Erik's looking some binoculars and he spots a couple siren ships in the distance. "Found some!" He pulls out a large radio. "Everyone full stop!"

Yorktown looks down at Alicorn, who's holding her mother's hand. "Are you ready?"

Alicorn nods with excitement.

Alicorn's sub pulls up alongside Yorktown and a ramp lowers from the aircraft carrier down to the sub.

Erik looks down to Alicorn. "I'll be on the ship, but you'll be able to control it. We're just there to make sure everything works fine."

Alicorn nods. "Okay."

Erik leads Alicorn down the ramp as Yorktown waves to them. "Be careful!" She calls out.

"We will!" Erik calls back.

Erik and Alicorn walk onto the massive sub and stand on the runway, as Yorktown's ramp moves back up.

Erik looks to the siren ships in the distance with his binoculars. "They haven't spotted us yet. So this is a prime opportunity for you." He lowers the binoculars. "I'll be inside if you need anything. Just talk over the radio."

Alicorn nods and Erik walks off.

Alicorn looks out the the three siren ships in the distance as they sail, without a care in the world.

<<Okay, Alicorn, let's get those guns up.>> Erik says over the radio.

"Okay." Alicorn takes a deep breath and closes her eyes.

After a couple of seconds tops of the sides of Alicorn's sub in the back open up, and Four 12'/50 Caliber Mark 8 guns, two on each side, come out and aim out towards the siren ships. Her AA guns pop up next to her main guns as her two smaller rail guns comes up and aim out towards the three siren ships.

Alicorn aims her hands out to the siren ships and her rail guns charge up. "FIRE!" She yells and all her guns all fire out towards the siren ships, after a second all three siren ships go up in a blazing glory.

"YES!" Alicorn cheers and laughs.

<<Good Job, Alicorn!>> Erik says.

Alicorn looks out to Yorktown and the three HO ships.

"Let's have a little fun." A psychotic voice rings in her head and her eyes suddenly start to glow.

<<Alicorn?>> Erik calls over the radio.

Alicron's guns aim towards the Puffin.

"We can have so much fun, if you just let me in."

<<Alicorn, sweety, what's going on? Why are your guns aiming towards the Puffin? Alicorn>>

Alicorn's hand raises up and points towards the Puffin.

"Take the shot. Let's start a war!"

Alicorn's rail guns charge up.

"Come on, you're one of us, just do what you're made to do. Kill the humans."

<<ALICORN!>> Erik shouts.

"Huh?" Alicorn snaps out of it, and her eyes stop glowing. Alicorn's rail guns die down and her guns aim away from the Puffin. "What's going on?"

Alicorn's guns go back into the submarine.

Erik sighs over the radio. <<Let's head back to base.>>

Alicorn looks down to her hands and stares at them.

Couple days after the ship test.

Alicorn and Erik, along with other scientists, are in the Alicorn's sub hanger.

"Okay, just feel deep down, and it'll come to you." Erik says to Alicorn.

"Really?" Alicorn asks as she looks up at Erik.

"I believe so, that's what I've been told by other ships."

Alicorn nods. "Okay." She closes her eyes. 'Feel deep down.'

After a couple seconds Alicorn's back feels heavy and she hears three roars. Alicorn opens her eyes and stars shine. "WOW!"

Three heads stare at Alicorn as she stares back at them

Three heads stare at Alicorn as she stares back at them. "You're all so cool!" Alicorn says and the heads blush. "Huh? How can they blush." They roar at it and she points to the right head. "You're righty." Then she points to the middle. "Midly." She points to the left one. "And Kevin." They roared at her.

Alicorn looks into the mouths and she sees cannons within them.

"Kevin?" Erik asks. "Why Kevin?"

Alicorn shrugs. "It sounded cool."

Suddenly a port on the middle head opens up and a handle is seen. Alicorn tilts her head and she grabs the handle and pulls it out, and out comes a sword where the flat part is a runway.

"Cool!" Alicorn shouts as she looks at the blade and it suddenly turns into a crossbow, with a yellow light arrow. "I'M SO COOL!" The cross-bow turns back into a sword and the middle head roars and she sets the sword back into its port and the hatch closes.

"So how do you like it?" Erik asks.

"IT'S SO COOL!" Alicorn yells as she jumps up and down, her shark-like rigging roars.

Erik chuckles.
