//------------------------------// // Um princess? You've got a mole... // Story: My little army // by Darth_Pinkie //------------------------------// "Madam! A strange anomaly has surfaced, ponies are saying that the Griffons are moving their top squadron in! Said one of Celestia's most trusted commanders. "What's the name of this squadron Call Sign?" Asked Celestia's to one of her officers. We'll ma'am rumors spread around that the squadron is named the Eclipse, before they attack they block out the sun with their huge numbers to scare their enemies." Call Sign, one of the intelligence officers said. "What do you think about this commander?" Asked Celestia to her commander; Vision. "We'll the sun was blocked out, but strangely only a very small part of it. Princess have you been experiencing anything on the sun?" "We'll I felt something hit the sun yesterday." She said trying to put two and two together. She had finally realized what the General was thinking. "You don't think that the griffon's have mastered space travel yet have they?" She asked hoping that the crazy idea wouldn't be his. "It doesn't take an idiot to figure out that they have developed a weapon that they plan on placing on the sun and they hope to concentrate that weapon on one of the cities!" Vision said as everyone gasped at his horrible theory. Even Princess Celestia face hoofed out of embarrassment. Sometimes she didn't know whether he gets actually gets a vision or he's been drinking too much cider. In the Griffon control room... "Sir!" Shouted a Griffon officer. "Yes Gilda?" The Griffon General said. "Well sir, I think you should take a look at this." She said grimly. "At what?" He asked. "Well griffon spies have just filed a report of strange solar activity." Gilda said as she pulled out a report file from her standard griffon infantry pouch and gave it the general, waiting for a reaction from the silent general. "My... Celestia must be expirementing with her sun's capabilities!" He said in astonishment. Gilda face palmed erm... Face clawed at the general's comment to her newly acquired information. In the Bad Luck's hangar bay... "Sir! We have sixteen AT-TEs with a compliment of fifty four BARC speeders, A full platoon of AT-RTs and the 212th airborne corps are locked and loaded!" A loading master informed. Cody nodded then proceeded to walk in to a gunship and brief the airborne corps which included Boiler and Waxer, except they were outfitted with the signature airborne armor including a jet pack. "Pilot, signal the other drop ships for take off" Cody ordered the clone pilot as he did just that and not a second later all the gunships where of the plastoid deck and out into Equestria's atmosphere along with there Z-95 fighter escorts. Equestria's air space was filled with hundreds of gunships and star fighters as their Acclamator class cruiser followed sluggishly behind. Once they reached the oxygen rich environment known to the inhabiting Equestrians as sky they began to descend rapidly and then immediately pull up a dozen meters of the ground. Zooming through the grass fields Cody thought "Reminds me of Alderaan.... Coming up on a nearby town the gunships' doors suddenly opened with a whoosh and at least sixteen clones per gunship jumped out with no fear of dying. The residents of Ponyville were feeling the exact opposite as they silently observed the first hundreds of giant birds give birth to multiple creatures all at once, all the while heading to them. "Alright rocket jockies! Go light 'em up!" Cody said as he slapped each trooper on the back as they fell out of the gunship to only ignite their jet packs seconds from hitting the ground. As the gunships began to touchdown on the field of grass the airborne corps that were utilizing their newly retrofitted jet packs pushed on as they unholstered their DC-15S blaster pistols and came to a hovering stop surrounding the town making a perimeter. The gunships and drop ships however were unloading their cache of troops and hulking beasts of machinery and destruction. Twilight had noticed, unlike all the other unintelligible ponies they were nowhere fitting in the Equestian list of beasts and creatures for dummies book. She realized that either the griffons were far more capable of things they imagined or... They had an alien problem on their hands. "Oh no!" Thigh light gasped as the lumbering alien creatures that somewhat resembled beetles reached their town along with white aliens with yellow markings down their face all surrounded by what looked like very slender bikes, just without the wheels. A yellow and white figure that seemed to be physically different in form to the other identical aliens in front of her. That must be their leader or something. she thought as the alien pointed at her and did the unimaginable, It spoke! Not only did it speak it spoke clear Equestrian, except it didn't say the language was equestrian he said it was Basic or something, it had asked her a question! "You, do you speak Basic?" Cody asked the equine like creature in front of him whom he assumed he was their leader since it had a crown of some sorts and it also had wings and a horn unlike the others which either had one of the two or none at all. "Wow... Hi?" Twilight said to the alien as she fainted right in front of everyone.
