//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 "you want me to spy on the chancellor " // Story: The Republic of Harmony // by Shadow-Aura //------------------------------// The moment the jedi landed in Canterlot castle the chariot was surrounded by senators. Celestia could see master Lauren faust standing against a pillar smirking. Discord was the first to exit the chariot. He received a phenomenal round of Applause. He was closely followed by celestia. "You not coming twilight?" She asked tilting her head every so slightly. "No master Kaiber wanted me to report to him," Twilight said "And besides I'm not brave enough for politics." "Oh but why?" celestia asked. "Face it celestia it was you who save me from the changelings and also killed count sombra and rescued the chancellor with me unconscious." Twilight diplomatically explained "Today you where the hero and deserve your glorious day with the politicians." "Ok alright but you owe me one." celestia chuckled. "Yeah yeah." Twilight waved off as the chariot turned for the crystal empire. *Meanwhile in the crystal empire* Kaiber Crystal was meditating until he saw his holocommunicator glow. He got up and answered the call. "Hello Kaiber how's the empire I do hope you are enjoying yourself but I bring news twilight and celestia have returned." an blue hologram of Lauren faust standing before him. "Oh hello Lauren kay humour me." Kaiber laughed. "Well nothing went wrong so nothing fun about it but Celestia killed sombra," Lauren replied "But Discord said something which may help us destroy the sith and bring harmony to the force he said queen chrysalis has returned." Kaiber sighed then said "Then finding her shall be the council's main priority." "My thoughts exactly," Lauren Agreed "I shall arrange a meeting in ponyville temple immediately." "Ok Lauren when twilight arrives we shall set off," he was interrupted by a Knock on the door "Speaking of the devil got to go." "See you Kaiber." and with that the hologram switched off. "Enter Twilight." Kaiber called turning to see the mare in question enter. "Sorry master was I interrupting something." Twilight said sadly. "No I have just been speaking to master faust," Kaiber explained to the Young padowan "we have arranged a meeting at the temple in ponyville and we shall ask you to attend in place of the late master blueblood." "Really you want me to join the council," Twilight gasped in shock "I accept your offer grateful for your judgement on myself to see me as master potential." "Yes twilight you have been accepted into the jedi high council." Kaiber said smiling. "But what about celestia?" Twilight asked being curious about why the mare who trained her is still a Jedi Knight not a Jedi master. "Because she is to reckless and doesn't plan things through as well as she should." Kaiber explained sadly. "But isn't she not the chosen one," Twilight countered "The one to destroy the sith and bring harmony to the force." Kaiber sighed "So the prophecy says," Twilight smilled at this hollow victory in this argument but that victory was cut short when the grand master's sentence finished "A prophecy misread could have been." *meanwhile in Canterlot* "Ah celestia I see you received my summons,' discord said seeing the alicorn enter "I suspect your wondering why I have asked you here." Celestia nodded in response. "I can no longer trust the jedi council anymore but I can trust you," Discord said in a calming voice "I am appointing you to be my personal representative on the jedi council, you shall be the eyes, ears and voice of the republic." Celestia reared back in shock "Chancellor I am honoured by this but the council elects it's own members it'll never accept this." "Oh I don't doubt that but they need you celestia more than you know..." *Ponyville Jedi temple main council chamber* "Take this appointment lightly the council does not," Kaiber said stroking his chin "Disturbing move from the chancellor this is." "You are on this council but we don't grant you the rank of master." master faust said in a calm but decisive tone. "What, how can I be on the council and not be a master?" celestia started to rant "it has never been done in the history of the Jedi It is insulting..." "Take a seat Celestia" Lauren interrupted. "Yes master." celestia said sitting "We need to find chrysalis unless the senate will continue to vote to continue the war." master flash sentry. said in a calm tone. "But what about the changeling attack on the crystal empire?" Master macintosh asked. "He's right it's a city we cannot afford to lose." Twilight said in agreement. "I shall arrange a battalion of clone guards to escort me to support the forces their." Kaiber said stroking his chin. "Tis settled then master Kaiber will take a battalion of clone guards to help the crystal empire," Lauren Agreed with her emotionless tone "Council adjourned." *After the meeting* "How can they put me on the council and not make me a master." celestia moaned. "Celestia it's because your to close to the chancellor," Twilight explained "We don't like it when he interferes in jedi affairs." Celestia sighed "I didn't ask to be on the council." "But it's what you wanted " Twilight countered "It seems your freindship with Discord has paid off." Twilight started to stare off into the distance. But Celestia was oblivious to this. "What's that supposed mean?" She asked in an annoyed tone. "Celestia I didn't want to put you in this position " Twilight sighed "The council wants you to report on the chancellor's dealings we need to know what he's up to." Celestia in shock gasped "You want me to spy on the chancellor?) "We need to know what he's doing our allegiance is to the senate not leader," Twilight countered "Who has stayed in office long after his term has expired." "the senate demanded he stay longer." celestia said in defence. Twilight shook her head and sighed "Celestia search your feelings something is not right." "This is what is not right," celestia snapped at twilight "your asking me to betray a mentor And a friend." After her rant she calmly asked "Why are you asking this of me?" Twilight simply said "The council is asking you." "Why didn't they give me this assignment in session?" celestia asked after a awkward silence. "This assignment is not to be on record," Twilight said sadly "But after this the council may make you a master I do not doubt that." *Meanwhile griffin Kingdom* Chrysalis landed in griffinstone a highly dilapidated town with a very deep gorge within the separatest were hiding. "Lord anarchaos what is thy orders?" Chrysalis asked a hologram of a hodded figure. "Chrysalis move the separatest leaders to tarterous." the figure replied. "it shall be done," Chrysalis bowed "But what about the death of count sombra-" Anarchaos just said "His death was a necessary loss soon I'll have a new apprentice one that's younger and far more powerful." *Canterlot opera house* Celestia walked into the chancellor's private booth and stood beside him. "You summoned me chancellor." She asked in confusion. "Ah celestia come I have Good news," he said turning to the other politicians "Leave us." they bowed to Discord and left celestia tacking a seat. "our clone intelligence units have received word that chrysalis is hidden in griffinstone." Discord explained. "Good soon could capture that monster and end this war." celestia said a little bit over excited. "I'll be surprised if the council don't assign you to this your the best choice," Discord said making celestia edgy "by far." Discord finished his sentence making the word far being emphasised highly. "Well my trust in them has been shaken." celestia sighed sadly. Discord chuckled slightly but Celestia didn't notice "The council asked you to do something you thought dishonest," he said as if he read her thoughts "They asked you to spy on me didn't they." Celestia was shocked at this because it seemed to easy for him to work out. But Discord changed the subject quickly. "Have you heard the tragedy of darth starswirl the bearded?" Discord asked to celestia just shook her head "It's not a tale the jedi would tell you, Starswirl was a dark lord of sith he was so wise and so powerful he could influence the midiclorians to create life." Discord looked at celestia who was intrigued "The only thing he was afraid of was losing his power which of course he did his apprentice who had taught e Everything he knew to killed him in his sleep." Celestia didn't care about the murder bit "Is it possible to learn this power?" she asked. "Not from a Jedi."
