Thin Air

Fett followed as the Equestrian Alliance orbited Xander, he flew carefully. The mountain base sent out a code request thinking it was one of their ships, Fett responded by sending the code, and sped up. He flew through the atmosphere. He flew into the hangar, and landed. Equestrian Alliance soldier’s lined up thinking it was a high ranking leader. Then the door opened, and Fett throw a thermal detonator. The detonator exploded killing all the ponies.

Fett walked down the hall way, he placed charges on gas pipes. As Fett walked he, looked around a corner. No pony was there, he walked down the hallway, placing a thermal detonator. He entered the elevator, and pressed the button that said “To the flight deck D.” As the elevator started up, the Thermal Detonator exploded. The gas pipe’s tore open, releasing gas, and fuel everywhere. Then a massive explosion rocked the base.

Luna was looking out the window, several Bat Ponies guarded her. Then the base shook, the glass shattered. Luna screamed and heard the fire alarms going off. Then Luna looked out the window, and saw a sinkhole emerge, as an explosion tore open the base. Then the COMM center, exploded uplink center that was connected to the COMM center exploded, ash rained down.

Fett got off the elevator, safely. He was now in the remains of hangar D. Boba walked through the wreckage, and found a crate of thermal detonators. He got them, and walked down the hallway, planting them as he walked. Then Fett walked to a glass window, and punched. The window only cracked, Boba punched it again, and the window shatter wind blew and howled outside. Boba stuck his head outside and looked. Boba then jumped out, Fett turned on his jet pack, and flew away, as an explosion narrowly missed him.

Luna looked out the window, and saw the second explosion. The debris rained down into the ravine that separated the base. Fett flew, towards Luna. As Luna noticed Fett she dove for the button, which put a blast shield over the window. It was too late.

Boba flew through the window, and kicked down a bat guard. The other Bat pony tried to defend itself. It was useless; Fett smashed its head against his knee. The Bat Pony that was kicked down was crawling and said “Mother, Luna please. Help.” Fett walked up to the dying Bat Pony, and stepped on its head. Crushing its skull, killing it within seconds, blood dripped out the mouth and the nose of the dead bat pony. Fett looked up, and walked towards Luna.

Luna charged up a spell, Boba dodged it. Luna stepped back, and said “I don’t want to do this.” Fett only got closer, and closer, and closer. Luna opened blast shield, Boba turned on his jetpack and tackled Luna. They flew out of the window, fighting each other. 

Boba then landed next to a canyon, they were in a power struggle.  Boba then over powered Luna, and kicked her onto the ground. Luna winced, her head was cut. She got up slowly, Boba only responded with a kick. Luna then screamed in pain. Luna’s eyes were closing she was entering shock, she was shivering, she then closed her eyes. Luna’s head felt like as if someone beat it with a sack of rocks. She could never forget the pain.

Vader and Twilight where in the barren wasteland that use to be Equestria, there were Lava streams and volcanoes erupted. Vader watched several AT-PT’s sprint across the lava field. Then Vader saw the Slave One land at the newly made Imperial Outpost. The Outpost was built on a solid island that was surrounded by Lava. Several things of metal made a temporary bridge over the lava. As the Stormtrooper’s welcomed Fett. A Equestrian Alliance V-wing was lifted from the wreckage, and thrown into a scrap pile.

Vader looked at the newly captured Luna and said “Very good. Take her to my Star Destoryer.” Fett nodded and went to Vader’s ship.

The Xander base was a mess, 5,000 were missing. Due to the fact of how the majority of the base was underground, and the gas pipe that exploded went into the underground area. There where only 500 survivors. Including Cadance and Shining Armor. Luna was reported missing. The Equestrian Alliance was effectively maimed.  The hangar was crumbled, dead bodies were being pulled out. The canyon that was in the middle of the base had a small tube like bridge that turned into a tunnel, when it crossed collapsed.

At the same time of the collapse fifteen high rank generals where walking across. They where dumped into a 20,000 foot deep canyon. At the bottom of the canyon there was a river, a fast moving one.  The water was moving fast, causing their bodies or the dying to be flushed down stream, never to be seen again.

Shining Armor looked at several dying unicorns. One coughed up blood, and levitated a photo, and gave it to Shining Armor. The Unicorn said in a hoarse voice “Please, give this to my. Wife and children. Please sir.” The Unicorn coughed one more time, his eyes closed. He was dead, Shining Armor walked through the amounts of wounded. Several soldiers where picking up the bodies and tossing them into trailers.

On Equestria, Twilight was looking at the sun; it was blocked out by ashes. The volcanoes erupted; the volcanoes emerged from the explosions, due to the tectonic plates being messed up from the bombardment. She was crying, she regretted her choices. She brought destruction, to Equestria. But she looked up, and turned around. She was waiting for her next mission.

Luna sat there her prison cell was cold. She eavesdropped to hear about how many ponies died in the Xander Explosion. Luna heard about how many died. She gasped, the death tolls were unrealistic. 

Xander was getting worst, the liquid hydrogen tanks exploded, causing the hangar to collapse killing 50 more, and they had no place to get supplies. The Equestrian Alliance was falling apart. Then they had to evacuate. As they left, there were thousands underground dying of wounds or thirst. 

Back in Equestria, or what use to be Equestria thousands of stormtrooper where patrolling the lava fields, the sky was now a blood red color. Clouds of ashes floated around, as some mountains sank because of the tectonic plates where giving away.

The Oceans of Equestria where actually a massive steam cloud. But it was where the Equestrian Alliance had several of its ships go. The ship’s glass actually melted, and the ponies inside where killed because of burns. But then several squads of Stormtroopers entered.

The Stormtroopers walked in the halls of the Venator, they walked over skeletons of ponies, the skeleton’s bones where scorched, bloodied, and scratched from the steam. The Stormtrooper’s armor was heavier and bulkier. They had jetpacks built into their back, they walked through the halls. They then found the ship plans. As they typed something in, the ship creaked back and forth it was going to collapse. The squad leader, then said “Alright let’s head out we have everything.” They walked towards the landing zone. Where a shuttle picked them up, as they boarded the shuttle they flew to the Empires base.

As they landed, an officer greeted them, and took the disc that they uploaded the info onto. As they walked out, they inserted it. They watched, the disc pointed out major areas in the galaxy that where under Equestrian Alliance control.  The officer looked and observed the map.

Vader was upstairs, in the control tower, training Twilight. Twilight was levitating her saber, as Vader dueled with her. Vader then said as he hit Twilight’s saber “You’re holding it too tight.” Twilight loosened her grip up and dueled, and then Vader struck the saber out of Twilight’s control, and caught the saber. Vader then said “You aren’t holding it tight enough.” Vader and Twilight sat down. Twilight said to Vader “You have taught me well.”

Vader then looked at Twilight and said “You will go and kill your brother, he is a threat to our plans, and we have them cornered.” Twilight secretly didn’t agree. But she had too, or else Twilight would die.
