The Next day, Starfire woke up and went around his Normal Routines, checking on the Base's various antiquated systems and the state of its old Reactor, which sometimes had issues. He then looked towards one of the cameras in the ceiling and asked, "Hey Luna, did you move yourself to the Ship's computers yet?"
"Yes," came the Synthetic Princess' voice from the intercom after it crackled to life, "I'm completely installed and configured onto the Ship's systems, you can shut down the base now."
"All right, go ahead and prepare the reactor for Shutdown and I'll be there soon."
"Ok, make sure you have everything you need" L.U.N.A. said before disconnecting from the intercom, the speakers crackling back into silence.
Starfire nodded and walked all through the old bunker, looking in every room before switching off the lights in each and every one. He soon finished and walked out to the Main Power Hall, looking at all of the old switches covering the Walls. Starfire put a little magic into his suit and plugged a flashlight into it, turning it on and playing its bright reddish-white Light over the Walls.
"Must've been blue before...." he mumbles before walking over to the Switches, throwing each and every one of them to the 'OFF' position.
When Starfire hit the one for the Hallways and then the one for the Power station, the Lights all shut off and he brightened the Flashlight beam a little. After all of the Power was off, Starfire walked into the Reactor bay and after about half an hour of working, he shut down the reactor too. With no power at all in the base and no Light, he sat down and turned the flashlight off. It was completely black, and he tried waving his hoof in front of his face to find that he couldn't see it. He held his breath to find that it was silent too, without the sound of old computers or air systems or Lights buzzing. Starfire turned the flashlight beacon and walked to the Main Atrium, and over to the main bunker door. Starfire had only ever shut the door twice, once during a severe tornado watch, and the other time was because something in the old Facility above the Base Caught fire and burned most of it down, and L.U.N.A. said that she had tried to access one of the old Computers aboveground and started the fire. Starfire took one last look inside of the Bunker and walked out of the door, straining to push it shut. After it hit its seal with a loud Clang, the rubber lining long gone, Starfire Plugged hus suit into a slot and electronically locked the Door, listening to the sound of the heavy tumblers hitting home. He stared at the door for a few seconds, remembering the day he had first walked down the tunnel and found it hanging open, before turning around. The tunnel was dark, the Lights being powered by the Bunker not operational anymore. Starfire climbed the steps and walked out onto the runway, smiling at the sight of his restored Destroyer sitting on the Runway.
"All right, it's finally time to get to space!" He said before happily trotting over to the Spaceship and climbing inside, shutting the door behind him.
"Ok, you ready?" Luna asked as Starfire walked through the ship checking over everything one last time.
"Yep!" he said, then started his walk up to the Command center.
The Destroyer, being older, did not use the 'Piggyback' method of leaving the atmosphere, where Smaller ships would get to space in the holds of larger ships. The Destroyer took off like an airplane, then continued climbing until it reached the highest altitude it could get to, before it called upon its more powerful engines to launch it into space. Starfire activated the engines, listening to their sudden roar as they started and the Ship started to move.
"Woah I didn't expect it to move that fast!" Starfire said as he gave more power to the engines, and the Ship took off into the sky, flying over the remains of the PolariSoft outer wall. Starfire flew over the old Software company, looking down at its fallen glory before putting on a burst of speed, roaring up into the atmosphere. When their ascent leveled off, Starfire engaged the rocket engines, and with a huge burst of speed, the old Destroyer rocketed into space, for the first time in decades. Soon after they left the Atmosphere, L.U.N.A. came on screen and said
"Well I have a transmission already, should I open it?" she asked, to Which Starfire nodded. After a long conversation, Starfire was soon registered as an official Bounty Hunter for the Equestrian Space Forces, and he already had his first target. He was told to find an old Freighter, where he was to meet up with the crew and aid them in their hunt.
[Um I had some time on my hands... Hope this is good and following the story I know I started late]
