01-A Usual Landing

(Third Person POV)

Smiyh awoke from a vision in the force. He pointed his blaster at the windshield, drenched in a cold sweat. His droid companion, Six seen his sudden wake and pushed his master’s arm down.

“Master! Master! It was just a dream!”

“I had it again,” he struggled to say, “The same one for a month, now. The screams, the blasters, explosions; I can’t get it out of my head.”

“Master, it’s not your fault. This whole situation has been out of our hands.”

“I know that and good riddance to it! They can rot for treating me like rubbish!” He yelled with much venom in his words. Six was taken back a bit by his sudden aggressive tone.

‘If only I hadn’t engaged the Jedi when I was a Sith,’ He thought to himself, ‘Maybe I known and would’ve informed them of Order 66 when I had a change of heart.’

“We’re coming up close to the undocumented system.”

“Good; I can’t take another cycle on this damn ship.”

With their destination closing in, the number of stars grew less and less until the former Sith turned to his Co-Pilot again.

“Hey Six, how much further until we reach our destination?”

“Nearly there,” he simply stated, “We just need to get out of-”

His sentence was cut off by the sudden halt from hyperspace back into realspace along with the entire ship’s power.

“...hyperspace.”

“What the hell is going on? Tech scan, immediately!”

“I-I can’t!” Six yelled, pressing buttons and pulling levers frantically, “Nothing’s working!”

“Damn!” he yelled, slamming his fist into the console, slightly denting the frame.

“What’ll we do!?”

“We stop panicking,” Courvin suggests, keeping his droid still with his hands on his shoulders, “If the manual controls still work, we can land this bird safely on the nearest habitable planet, diagnose the problem and fix it.”

“Easier said than done.”

“It won’t be the first.”

With the cruiser inching closer to the planet in question, Smiyh closely observed the colors. It looked much like Naboo with it's lush, green appearance, along with one moon to boot. His quiet observation was interrupted by the ship violently jerking forward into the planet’s atmosphere.

“This is where the fun begins,” He sarcastically joked, “Six, strap in and engage manual controls; this bird is landing hot!”

“Roger roger,” he said, pulling a lever beside him back. The sound of heavy metal grinding was nearly drowned out by the noise of the flames surrounding the cruiser’s hull.


Twilight Sparkle, resident Unicorn in Ponyville and student of Princess Celestia, was cooped up on the balcony of her home, spending the majority of the morning reading and occasionally glancing over on the crowded streets below. Her assistant, a baby dragon named Spike, is snacking on a large gemstone as a reward for helping out in the past events.

He stopped eating and looked up at the sky seeing a massive fireball drop down from the sky. He immediately panicked and scampered over to the Unicorn, shaking her.

“Twilight! Twilight! You gotta see this!” he repeated until he got her attention. She carefully closed the book and set it on a nearby table by the glow of her horn.

“What is it Spike?”

“It’s a meteor! Come, quick!”

She leapt out of her chair and galloped over to the telescope. Looking through the eyepiece, she focused at the fire-drenched mass and saw through the flames, machinery?

“Spike, this is not a meteor; it is a space ship! That means...aliens!”

“AHH! Do they come in peace? Are they here to suck out our brains!?”

“There’s no time for that!” She yelled, predicting the ship landing into the Everfree Forest, “Inform the princesses; this “alien” may be in trouble!”

“Yes Twi.”

With that, the galloped out of her house and towards the potential crash site.

‘Oh I hope they’re friendly,’ she thought.


Now that the atmosphere entry was over, nearly all of the flames were doused out on the ship. Few sparks jumped and arced from one part to the next the longer the cruiser endured.

“Six! When I give the signal, we drop into the pod and eject.”

“What about the others!?”

“They’ll be safe in a secured room at the center of the ship; we're at the tip of the spear and will not be safe the longer we stick in here! This cockpit will take the strongest force of the crash and I would like to die another day, thank you.”

With the ship below the clouds, Courvin slams his fist on the eject button.

“NOW!”

Both the human and droid were thrown from their seats down retracted ducts into the projector room.

“ The Emergency Harness, master!” Six reminded the former Sith.

“Not enough time!” he protested, slamming the emergency button. The outer rings on the connecting hull shot out, releasing the bottom area of the ship. Luckily, it slowed down the fall as he planned, but forgot the repercussion. The nose of the pod pointed to a downward angle, aiming directly for a distant farm.

“Oh, this can’t be good…” he grimaced.

“It’s not like you can give the controls a bit of a shock to power it for a couple seconds,” Six rationalized sarcastically.

“That’s it!” he pointed his hands at the console and focused his fear onto the force. Purple lightning shot out of his fingertips and lit up the console, lighting the whole of it up.

“Six! Pull the lever!”

“Roger roger!” Six exclaimed. Pulling up on the lever. He felt the momentum shift slightly upward, but started going back to the same speed. He sensed a bunch of trees and held onto the hologram table.

“Oh, shi-”


Rainbow Dash, self-proclaimed fastest flier in Equestria and supervisor of the Ponyville Weather Team, was relaxing on a cloud when she noticed her close friend, Twilight running across the treeline of the Everfree Forest. She leapt off the cloud and glided over to her.

“Hey Twi! You saw that cool-looking meteor too?”

“That was no meteor; that was an alien ship and it’s about to-”

Her explanation was interrupted by the impact of the Republic Cruiser rocking the whole of the forest and the pod crashing close to the house of their timid friend, Fluttershy whom was a mile away.

“Gah! What the buck was that!?” Rainbow yelped.

“It seemed that somepony that was on board of the ship, tried to escape in a pod. That pod sounded like it crashed near Fluttershy’s cottage.”

“WE NEED TO GET THERE NOW! Gimme your hooves!”

Rainbow wrapped her forelegs around her friend’s waist and sped off along the treeline towards the crash site.


Courvin pulled himself up to his feet, groaning in pain. There was a deep gash above his left eye and he felt that his right arm has dislocated from the shoulder. He placed a piece of scrap metal into his mouth and bit down onto it. He held onto his elbow and mentally counting to three before jerking it upwards. He screamed in agony as the bones popped into place.

He punched the table a few times before spitting out the metal and using the right sleeve of his shirt to make a makeshift sling. He drew his blaster with his left hand and limped to the other side of room to pick up his slightly damaged sidekick.

“Master! You can barely walk!”

“You can’t; I see that the impact broke your joints.”

“I can repair them, though.”

“First, let’s just get out of this thing and find a safe spot to hide.”

“Roger roger.”


Twilight and Rainbow made it to the crash site. Luckily for them, it had missed Fluttershy’s cottage by a quarter mile. They walked up near to a red, cone-shaped pod with a door on the back, surrounded by several jets. The sudden opening of the hatch startled the entire group as a bipedal, hairless creature with a robot slumped over him emerge from the wreckage.

The creature appeared to be bipedal, wearing loose dark clothing with only one sleeve and strange markings running up his arm. His eyes looked a deep umber color and short messy black hair. He had pale skin, probably from his injuries caused by the crash, or that may possibly be his natural color. Many questions formed in Twilight’s head. She felt like approaching the creature, but hesitated, afraid he would attack.

He noticed the ponies in front of them and his first instinct was to draw his weapon. He dropped the droid and fell to the side of the opening, pointing his blaster at the curious ponies. His vision doubled and grew more blurry the faster his heart raced. His hand trembled and grew heavy from exhaustion and the pain of his dislocation and relocation of his shoulder. He lost his grip of the blaster and balance on the side of the pod's hull and fell forward into the soft grass, unconscious before impact.

“Master!” the droid called out to him, crawling frantically towards his master.

“Wait a minute!” Rainbow realized, “You can speak our language!?”

“I'm sure you're aware that the majority of lifeforms in the galaxy speak Basic.”

“We call it Equestrian and no, we weren't aware of any life outside of Equis," the purple unicorn explained, slightly annoyed.

“Great blazes! This really is a hermit system!"

"Wait, wait, wait," Rainbow said, flying in between the two, "There's more than just where you came from!?"

"Of course; there's a whole galaxy of life and planets and...what am I doing!? We got to help him!”

“Okay,” Twilight agreed, “Rainbow, help me get them safely into Fluttershy’s cottage.”

“Oh yeah? Well how do we know that these two come in peace? That..thing looked like it pointed some kind of weapon at us.”

“He’s in shock from the crash,” the droid explained, “We mean you no harm; we're just lost and confused rejects that were reduced to scrap metal. We need a safe place for him to rest and I don’t know how advanced your medicine is and I can’t afford for him to get sick and-”

“Alright, alright,” The impatient Pegasus waved her forelegs up at the droid face, ”I trust ya. Just get on my back and shut up.”

“Roger, roger.”
