"I believe I haven't introduced you my squad to you yet Twilight." Boss said. "Now you just mentioned it, I never got any of your names." Twilight said Curiously. The rest of Delta Squad slowly takes their helmets off revealing their identical facial features to Twilight shocking her. "You all looks the same! Are you all quadruple?" She asked but was answered by Scorch's laughter. "Hate to break it to you but we're not borned. We were genetically bred. Meaning we're clones. But my name is RC-1262 or Scorch. Team demolition expert." Said Scorch. "He got his nickname due to a incident of him blowing up some ordinance leaving our training sergeant without his eyebrows for a month ma'am. Name is RC-1140." Said Fixer. "Just call him Fixer. He is the team slicer and all technology expert. " Said Boss. "And this here is RC-1207 or Sev who is my pod brother." Scorch said cheerfully. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, unicorn and the element of magic." "Yeah right magic does not exist." Scorch said sarcastically. "Magic does exists! Here I show you." Twilight said and magically levitates Scorch's helmet and DC-17 blaster. "See magic." "A simple force levitation kid." Scorch replied back before taking back his helmet and puts it on. "Its magic!" "Force!" "Magic!" "Force!" "Magic!" "Force!" "Magic!" "Force!" "That's it!" Shouted Twilight and uses her magic and blast Scorch thus turning him into a potted plant. "SCORCH!!!" "What did you do to him?!?" Asked Boss. "What?" She looks back and see a potted plant which was once Scorch. "Oh buck! I didn't mean it!" "What did you do to Scorch!?!" Sev shouted before he pointed his DC-17 blaster at Twilight who raises both hands up remembering what it did to the Timberwolves in the past. Knowing it was getting out of hand Boss decided to break it up before Sev could do anything dangerous. "Stand down commando. Can you please turn Scorch back Twilight." He asked calmly, gesturing to the potted plant. Twilight slowly calms down and approaches the plant but she notice at the corner of her eyes she saw Sev stroking his blaster trigger intentionally. Her horn starts to glow catching Fixer attention and curiousity and sends a magic blast at the plant thus returning Scorch to his normal form. Scorch slowly gets back up stretching his limbs and twist his neck a bit then gets a satisfying crack and letting out relax moan. "I take back what I said and rule one in first contact is to never piss off a new type of sentiant species like Twilight. You may not know what they will do to you." He said before stretching his limbs again. Once the arguement was done the frieghter's consoles goes beeping getting attention and attends to it. "We're coming out off hyperspace Deltas. Brace yourselves." Fixer announced. The freighter exited out hyperspace and back to the void of space but infront it was a Venator-class Star Destroyer. "Unidentified ship this is the RAS Night of Solace. You are tresspassing military airspace right now please identify yourself." "This is RC-1140 of Delta Squad coming in and requesting permission to land." "Permission granted. Land at main hangar 4." The freighter slowly descends down to the main hangar also passing by several V-19 Torrents Starfighters much to Twilight amazement until she notice the ship closes in and its main hangar doors opens allowing the freighter to enter. Once it entered, the freighter lands in its designated hangar and the ship's doors open. Twilight was the first to exit out of the ship and was shocked seeing many other small aircrafts going under maintenance by the hangar repair crews. But what caight her breath was a mighty war machine with six legs as it has small little glass box with four cannons at the front but on top of it was a large cannon which look menacing to Twilight. "What is that?" She wondered. Until a clone trooper approach her behind. "Hey who are you? Civilians aren't allowed here." Said the clone startling Twilight. "She's with me trooper." Boss said. "A commando. I apologise for any offense sir." "Its alright trooper." "Can I ask you guys on what kind of machine is this?" Twilight asked curiously and gesturing to the walker. "Its a AT-TE Walker ma'am or All Terrain Tactical Enforcer walker. They were use as tanks and a troop transport for the war against the Separatist. " The trooper explained. "War!" Twilight exclaimed in shock. "You never heard of war before? " Boss asked Twilight curiously. "I have, but never been to one before. The last war was a thousand years ago after Discord reign." Twilight said. "A thousand years of peace. Never knew it was possible." "Can you tell me about the Separatist please?" She asked the trooper by showing puppy dog eyes and heard the trooper muttering something about weaponizing cutness. "The Confederate of Independent Systems or CIS are a political party but they will do to get what they want by any means necessary. Even by assassination and kidnapping. " The trooper slowly explained. "That sounds horrible!" Twilight said in shock not liking this at all. "They also allow other kinds of illegal activities like slavery and drug dealing." "I didn't know they will do this kind of things to get what they want." Twilight said. "And that is why we fight against the Separatist. " Boss said. "I'll do what I can to help you fight against the Separatist! " Twilight shouted a bit enenthusiastically. "Good but we need to go to the ship's bridge. " Boss said. "Let's go then." Half an hour past as Delta Squad brings Twilight to the ship's also explained a bit about the cruiser they were in until they reach to the brigde. The entrance door slid opens as Twilight sees the room filled with holographic screens and a table displaying the ship she was in and stood amaze by everything until a tall figure caught her attention and sees a human in some sort of clothing with a bald haircut, dark-tone skin and brown eyes. Next to him what Twilight thought was a green goblin but was not as it had elf-like ears, brown pupils and was 66cm tall. "Who are they?" Twilight asked by whispering to Scorch. "That's General Mace Windu and General Yoda." Scorch whispered back. "I believe your mission went successful trooper." Asked Windu. "Yes it has sir." Boss replied. "You must be the youngling who was rescued by Delta Squad I presumed. " Windu asked. " Yes general. The name's Twilight Sparkle. Protoge of Princess Celestia and the wielder of the element of magic." Twilight said before shaking Master Windu hand. "Tell me Twilight Sparkle, why were you banished from your home?" He asked. "Well I was performing a magic show at the Griffin Empire. But something went wrong with my magic as it created a explosion which nearly killed several ponies and griffons. I went back to figure out what happened but Celestia guards came in and arrested me and brought me to trail. My friends turn their backs on me! My brother also hated me and also disowned me!" She shouted before she break into tears crying as Delta Squad tries to comfort her. "I sense great pain in you young one. Great pain." Master Yoda said. "Permission to speak freely sir?" Boss asked. "Permission granted." " I would like to ask permission to enlist Twilight Sparkle into Delta Squad and train her to be a commando sir." Boss proposed. "Is that all soldier?" Master Windu asked. "Certainly sir." Boss replied. Both jedi started discussing about Boss proposal to enlist Twilight into Delta Squad. This went on for seven minutes until both jedi stopped their discussion and confront Delta Squad. "It has been decided, Twilight Sparkle has been permitted to be train as a commando and join Delta Squad." Master Windu announced bringing happiness to Twilight and the commandos. "Thank you so much!" Twilight said, her voice filled with joy. And gave Windu a bone crushing hug thus shocking everybody in the room except Master Yoda who smiled at the scene. "A strong grip you have young one." Yoda said. Twilight realize what she was doing and let's go off Windu and blushes in embarrassment. "Admiral, set course for Kamino." Windu ordered still recovering from Twilight's hug. "Yes general. Set course for Kam-" "Sir! Radar is detecting three ships coming out from hyperspace! " "Republic or Separatist? " "Separatist." At the void of space a pair of Munificent-class star frigate exit from hyperspace including a Lucrehulk-class battleship and opened fire at the Republic warship. Several squads of Vulture Droids were deployed and headed straight for the crusier. "Operator send out a distress signal to any nearby Republic ships. I want shields charge and forward cannons at the ready!" the clone admiral ordered. "Sir they're sending in boarding parties." "Prepare the men to defend the ship." "Delta Squad Defend this ship." Windu ordered. "Yes sir!" "What can I do to help." The commandos look at her for a moment until Boss passed her a DC-15s side-arm. "Here take this." "What's this?" She asked? "Its a DC-15s side-arm. You have eight shots when its fully charged. Once its depleted, it will take time to charge. Just aim and pull this trigger and that's all." Boss explained. "Got it." She replied back. "Good. Lock and load Deltas!" Twilight and the commandos exits out of the bridge and march towards their next battle.
