//------------------------------// // The Jungle // Story: Star Wars: Rise of the Equestrian Alliance // by 123123231213231231 //------------------------------// The Jungle Stormtroopers walked through the jungle, it was loud and hot. Stormtroopers dug trenches, and placed down bunkers. They walked through the jungle, with equipment. Stormtroopers looked around, and watched the sky. “WHAT!” Screamed Gara, Aramis responded “You heard me, you and I are fighting with Empire till the war ends.” Gara then responded “But our child, I want to raise him on Mandalore. Please Aramis!” Aramis responded “No, we have secured a contract.” Gara was distraught, and she was crying. Gara sat there and said “The front lines aren’t safe for our child, please Aramis listen to me call off the contract.” Gara, sat down, her knees where covering her face. Tears were going down her face. Gara then said “Our child, it won’t be safe if we live in a war zone, I want to raise him traditionally but not have him getting killed by enemy fire.” Aramis then said “Ok Gara, I understand. I’ll think about it.” Aramis put his arm around Gara’s shoulder and said “Gara, we can raise our child on Mandalore, but I will do some military jobs.” Gara, still crying said “Ok, but promise me this. Just please don’t leave our child, like my father did. Please.” Vader walked through the construction zone, Stormtroopers where setting up Machine guns, and bunkers. Turbo Laser towers where being built along with flak guns, and other defensive weapons. Snipers where setting up small bunkers. And Artillery was setting up in the background. Darth Vader watched as AT-AT’s where marching into position. AT-ST’s where getting ready. A day later, everything was ready. Vader then said “Send the transmission out to lure the Equestrian Alliance here.” An Officer nodded and said “Transmitting now.” The Equestrian Alliance fleet came out of light speed hours later. Equestrian Alliance transports flew into flak filled sky. Twilight was on a LAAT she looked to the right and saw a LAAT explode and crash into the ground. TIE Fighter’s flew around dogfighting. Twilight’s gunship landed, and Twilight got off, and watched as Equestrian Alliance soldiers charged the trenches. The machine gun fire was intense. Dead stormtroopers piled the trenches. Twilight watched as the explosions echoed. Twilight watched as Trench warfare began. Stormtroopers, shot at the other trenches, and Equestrian Alliance forces shot back. Vader watched in the background, a Base was being built for the Empire. It was a prefabricated base. Boba Fett walked through the Imperial Head Quarters on Equestria. Boba was walking through the hallways, and underground, four squads of Equestrian Alliance Spec Ops where getting ready to rescue Celestia. Boba walked out and boarded the Slave 1. The Equestrian Alliance squads, then entered the base. The Slave 1 took off, and flew towards a ship that was orbiting Equestria. The Equestrian Alliance forces entered the base. They walked carefully through the area, trying not to encounter an enemy. The forces entered the prison block; they shot at several Storm Troopers. They then opened the cell door, and said “Celestia time to go.” Celestia got up, left with them. Deka, the jungle was burning as Bombers bombed the forest. A Victory Class Star Destoryer shelled the forest. Twilight was sitting in a metal bunker, and said “The flak guns they set up can’t penetrate the bunker line.” Then a flak shell, hit the metal wall creating a major dent, a pony ducked as the dent nearly nailed his head. Twilight looked at the dent. And said “We need our artillery to return fire.” Twilight watched as artillery fired back. The gun fire was loud. Twilight then said “Tell our forces to get into the bunker.” The artillery fire hit the Storm Trooper’s bunkers. The battle continued and the gun fire intensified. Twilight stood there watching a holographic view of the battle. Aramis, was still sitting there with Gara, helping her through her shock. Aramis rubbed her back, and said “Don’t worry, were going to be fine.” Then the ship shook, they were spotted. Aramis looked out the window Equestrian Alliance ships found them. Aramis said to himself “I really wish my mother was here…” Then a door opened and someone said “My son, get ready.” Gara looked closer, and said “Your Bo-Katan Kryze aren’t you.” Bo nodded and said “Yes I am, and I am sorry Aramis about leaving you.” Aramis looked at his mother, and said “Mom is that you.” Aramis hugged his mom, and his mom Bo-Katan Kryze hugged him back. The ship shook one more time. Bo said “Aramis, we need to save this ship, and my future grandchild.” Aramis nodded and said “Lets go.” Aramis entered the hangar and entered his ship, Bo got in the Co-pilot’s seat. Aramis took off and said “Mother, we will be joined up by several friendly fighters.” Then the Equestrian Alliance ARC-170’s swarmed around the Mandolorian fleet. Aramis shot several Equestrian Alliance ARC-170’s down, and then the Slave 1 flew out of lightspeed and shot several more ARC-170s down. The dogfight continued and the fighters flew around. Aramis chased after another squad and noticed they were entering lightspeed. Aramis landed his ship, and hugged his mother. Aramis found it hard to believe his mother was back. Aramis walked into his room and got into bed with Gara. Twilight was trying to sleep on Dekta, it was raining. A drop of water hit her hood, Twilight rolled over, and tried to sleep but the water would keep dripping. Twilight then got up looked out a window the battle was still going on. Then she looked out again and saw an Imperial bunker explode. Twilight watched the battle going on outside. Then Twilight said “Commander, how much longer until the battle is over?” The Commander responded “About 6 months.” Twilight then said “I’ve got an idea, get the bombers to shell the powder bunkers.” The bombers then got orders and attacked the powder bunkers.” Then the powder bunkers exploded, Twilight then said “Advance to there base!” The Prefabricated base that the Empire set up was well defended. Twilight looked at the base, AA Guns were set up, and Turbolasers where ready, there where several bunkers around the base that where connected to the base by tunnels. Landing pads where around the base, Turbo Lasers where activated and the Base fired on the hills where Equestrian Alliance forces where, TIE Fighters and bombers attacked the Equestrian Alliance ships and ground forces. The battle had heated up. Stormtroopers where in the bunkers around the base, shooting at the Equestrian Alliance soldiers that where running the hill after them. Soldiers were fighting as the Bunkers that had Anti-Infantry turrets fired on Equestrian Alliance soldiers, and Anti-Vehicle turrets fired on AT-PTs and AT-TEs. Explosions rocked the area. Twilight stood there watching as the battle raged on. Then a modified ARC-170 that was followed by the Slave 1 flew by. Then the ships landed by the Imperial landing sight then one AA-9 Coursant Transport landed. The transports where actually for Mandalorian soldiers. The soldiers disembarked, Aramis and his mother Bo and her group of soldiers, where getting ready. The mountains of Dekta are quite cold, very windy but not enough to crush the Mandalorians hope of achieving their plan. Bo and Aramis were marching through the snow, and then they stopped. Several thousand Equestrian Alliance Soldiers where in the mountains. Mandalorians where outnumbered. The wind howled, as Bo looked at her son and said “It’s time for action.” The Mandalorians charged and shot down the Equestrian Alliance forces, they fought in hand to hand combat. The Equestrian Alliance’s forces who weren’t as trained as Mandalorians where slaughtered. Bo and Aramis stood over the bodies, the sun was setting. The Mandalorians had returned. Mandalorians had little to no casualties. Bo stood there and put her hand around Aramis’s neck and said proudly “Welcome to a brave new world son.” On Mandalore, a red headed women was sitting there she was about 48, then her hologram projector beeped she picked it up, then a person who looked like her, the person was Gara. Gara then said “Mom, we need you here.” The person nodded and said “I’ll be there.” Gara was in the Dekta forest then several stallions surrounded her and said “Well look at what we’ve found boys.” One put there hooves on Gara’s shoulder, Gara then said “Get off me!” They then restrained her, and started pushing her to the ground. Then a voice came from the bushes “Get your hands off her, you scum.” One of the stallions turned around and said “Equestrian Alliance soldiers.” Then the figure sliced off the ID of the Soldier, and kicked him to the ground. Gara looked up and said “Mom?” Vhonte Tervho had returned Vhonte looked at Gara and said “You’ve grown, where’s Aramis?” Then a Stallion tried to take down Vhonte who responded with a shot into the Stallions head. Aramis was playing a game of Sabacc with a friend. The door opened and Vhonte walked in and said “So you’re my daughter’s husband.” Bo who was in the back ground looked at Vhonte and said “Great, you.” Vhonte responded sharply by saying “Shut up you death watch scum.” Bo then got up and pushed Vhonte, Gara got up and said “Stop!” Bo looked at Gara and stared. Gara then said “Vhonte meet Bo, Bo meet Vhonte.” Bo looked at Vhonte’s hand and then shook it. Then the Base shook, Vhonte put her helmet on and Bo did the same. Aramis kissed Gara goodbye and joined up with Vhonte and Bo. As they ran to the viewing area they saw the Problem, a LAAT was flying towards the viewing area, the pilot was dead, the Co-Pilot was bleeding out his mouth, the window was stained with blood, the side doors of the LAAT were torn open and ponies where hanging out dying or dead, the side mount guns were torn off and one was burning. Vader walked into the room and used the force; he then threw the LAAT into another LAAT. Vader then said “Fire on their launch pads.” Boba walked through the hallways, Twilight who snuck into the base saw him. Boba then heard Twilight’s gasp in shock. He looked her way, and got ready to shoot. Twilight got her weapons ready, and then Boba turned around and shot Twilight. Twilight jumped back in shock, Bo and Aramis heard the shots, Vhonte covered them, Twilight ran after Fett. The gun fire was intense. Then Boba Fett turned around and shot Twilight’s shoulder, she screamed in pain as Fett walked up to her and said “To bad there isn’t a bounty on your head.” Last thing Twilight saw was the heel of Boba’s foot. Boba then got to the Slave 1 and took off. As he flew towards the Mandalorian fleet, he thought “I’m thankful for my kids.” He then flew away. And entered Light Speed. Vhonte and Bo were glaring at each other. Vhonte then said “What do you want?” Bo responded “Oh, nothing other than restoring honor to the Mandalorians.” Vhonte then said “Get over it, your group killed hundreds.” Bo, kicked Vhonte. Vhonte responded by kicking Bo in the stomach. Bo, coughed and then Aramis and Gara entered. Aramis watched the fight then said “Alright that’s enough!” Bo, then got off the ground and said “Fine.” Vhonte then said “What’s our next job.” Gara then said “We’ve been asked to go to the Waterfalls of Dekta, which aren’t too far from here.” Vhonte then said “Gara, how about you come this time.” Gara responded “I can’t.” Vhonte looked at her daughter and asked “Why not?” Gara the stuttered out “Mom, I’m, I’m pregnant.” Vhonte looked on her daughter and let it sink in. A tear went down Vhonte’s cheek, Vhonte hugged her daughter and said “Don’t worry, I’ll help you.” Gara embraced her mother, and said “Thank you mom, thank you.” Twilight was still on the ground unconscious, she was having flash backs. She remembered her friends, and then remembered when war started. It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville, Spike was messing around. Rarirty was making dresses, and everyone was doing there thing. Then a roar came, and then fire erupted, Ponyville was burning. Rarity was dead from artillery, Rainbow Dash was shot down, and dying. Apple Jack was dead, and her body was mutilated by random falling debris. Fluttershy was in a forest, screaming and crying as she died. Pinkie Pie died, with a smile on her face. Twilight was being evacuated as Ponyville burned to the ground. The NLR and the SE were at war. The war would continue on for 8,000 years. Twilight woke up, she was still in the hallways, her head felt like as if it were going to explode. Twilight crawled through the hallways and found a vent, Twilight then kicked the vent down and entered. Twilight rolled out into a river, she floated down the river. Twilight floated towards a Equestrian Alliance camp. Celestia and Luna where on a different planet, a planet called New Equestria, founded by the NLR around 4,000 years ago. The planet was temperate like Equestria it had a polar area, tropics, and temperate zone. It had oceans and life. Changelings lived on the planet, Then on the highest mountain was New Canterlot, it was formed around the mountain with a area inside. Over head several TIE scout squads came out of light speed. The ships where hidden behind a jammer and a cloaking device. The TIE scouts confirmed that several of the ships where Equestrian Alliance. The TIE scouts flew into the lower atmosphere, and noticed Equestrian Alliance war machines and soldiers where on the ground. Vader sat there watching as TIE-Scout Identified all these things. Vader then said “Deploy a fleet about out of there scanners range.” The life in New Canterlot was thriving, the castle was at the top of the mountain. Celestia and Luna where getting constant updates on the war. Then Twilight’s body came in, Twilight was wounded the Equestrian Alliance flew her back to New Equestria to help her heal. Dekta wasn’t getting any better, the Prefabricated base was holding. Stormtroopers where shooting, without end. But Star Destoryers overhead where leaving. About outside the scanners over Equestria. TIE bombers were deployed about 3000 TIE Bombers deployed, along with 2000 TIE fighters and 2000 TIE Interceptors, and 500 TIE Scimitars. 1,000 Equestrian Alliance ships orbited New Equestria. Then the Imperial Fighter task force came. The TIE bombers bombed the ships. Shining Armor was on board a ship when then it shook. Shining ran down the hall way of his providence class carrier, he looked down at the flak guns, then a torpedo tore through the wall and the guns exploded, then the ammo deposits overhead exploded collapsing the ceiling, Shining Armor watched as his ship fell apart. Shining ran to the bridge and watched as the observation tower of their ship collapse and fall into the ships thick hull. Shining then said “Scramble fighters, I want those bombers out of the air.” An officer responded “Sir, we don’t have any fighters. The hangars are gone, the ground bases can provide support, but it will take them some time to set up their ships, about two hours.” Shining then said “Well were forced to stay here with our flak guns.” Then a TIE bomber exploded. The TIE’s where flying away. With about 500 ships damaged, 250 damaged without repair. The shipyards where still available. But it was time for rebuilding.
