Crystal Warning Pt. I


After calling the Order for a pick-up on Rockaud, they rested near Gidget's shop. Kai was whistling a tune, Twilight and Sunset were laying back, Pinks was holding back the urge not to use force accidentally, and Gidget was staring at the sky. Eventually, around fifteen minutes, a large ship appeared.

"They're here." Kai said, telling everyone to get up. "Come on."

The ship parked outside, and Lime moved them outside the gate, where they were met with the large ship in front of them. "Gee..." Pinks said. "Meesa little afraid."

"Oh, don't be, Pinks." Twilight said. "It's just a Jedi ship full of our side. What's their to be afraid about?"

"Just... size." she answered.

Then, the door on the bottom opened up, smoking come out of it. Then rushed out soldiers who were getting in formation as if someone important was coming out. A figure emerged in the smoke, and it seemed like a very tall unicorn with wings, which were familiar to Sunset and Twilight. "Is that... Celestia?" Sunset asked.

Celestia walked down the ramp, and were meeted with the Jedi. "Grand Master Celestia?" Kai questioned. "You have come?"

"Yes, Master Kai." she answered. She was wearing white Jedi robes, and nothing really more. "I have come to see how you Jedi have done on your mission, especially my apprentices." Twilight and Sunset smiled. "And by the looks of it, it seems you have done well."

Twilight and Sunset nodded, while Kai brought out the file. "Indeed. Yet, this carries some frightful things." Kai showed Celestia the plans of the invasion, and the new droid prototype, and the interior of the Lunar Menace. Celestia had a look of concern.

"An invasion against the Crystal Empire?" she asked. "This doesn't seem too good."

"It isn't." Gidget said, stepping in.

"Yes. No good." Pinks also said, stepping in.

Celestia noticed the two. "Oh, and who are you two?" she asked.

"I'm Gidget, and I come from Crystal and fix things. Even create." he said, bowing to the grand master. "It is an honor to meet you."

"And I'm Pie Pie Pinks!" said Pinks, jumping in place. "And I am also glad to meet you!"

Kai looked at Celestia and explained. "Alright, so here's the thing: Gidget here wants a quick ride back to Crystal, in order to help with everything in preparation when this invasion happens, cause if you look, this takes place very near, so it will happen before we be able to assault the Lunar Menace."

Celestia nodded. "Okay... if that is what he wished. But..." She looked at Pinks. "What about her?"

Twilight gulped. "Well, Grand Master Celestia, it seems like this Piete may have... the force."

"The force?" Celestia questioned. "No Piete can have the force. Go on, Twilight."

"Well, when we crash landed, the communicator broke, we met Pie, and then we were attacked by a beorn. In the end, Pie Pie Pinks seemed to have pushed it with the force, which even confused us. And what's crazy is, she can take down such a large creature with the force, and plus, she can't seem to-" A rock soon flew towards a soldier's head as Pinks saluted to one of them. The soldier fell down and grunted, and Pinks blushed in embarrassment. "Control it."

"This is indeed strange." Celestia said, looking at Pinks. "Is she a little... different?"

"No. I was raised the same, was born the same, and basically, I'm just like the others."

"Hmm..." Celestia scratched her chin with her hoof. She looked closely at Pinks. "Come along. We may need to take a closer look at you. No Piete in the history of the universe ever held the force. You may be the first one." Pinks sprung onto the ship and disappeared in view. Celestia looked back at the Jedi. "I don't know whether I should be scared or happy about this, but she seems... rather odd."

"Tell me about it." Kai said, crossing his hooves. "But anyways, we need to alert Princess Cadenza."

"Right away, we will." Celestia ordered the troops to go back in the ship, and they all went inside. "By the way, I have seen some trouble around the planet. Some Lunar scouting ships flew around and we destroyed them. Seems like they are trying really hard for this planet."

"Indeed." a trooper added as he was getting back on the ship. "Almost got near a large shuttle, but it didn't seem to notice us. By now, the space is probably littered with the Lunar Republic."

Celestia nodded. "Please, come along."



Once they entered the ship, they flew towards the city of Crystal. While inside, they waited and chatted.

"This is a fine ship you got here." Gidget added. "Must say, you Jedi are far in technology."

"Yep." Sunset said. "Got some smart people back in our planet."

"Seriously." he said. "It's amazing to see all of these things that ponykind never saw coming. Equestria must be a great place."

"Now that it's all Jedi territory and hasn't been touched by the Republic for years... yeah."

He gave out a deep sigh. "You know, I'm a little afraid." Sunset looked at Gidget a little worried. "Just about what is going to happen to Crystal, that's all. I'm honestly a sensitive guy, and don't really like to see people die... the soldiers, the citizens, everything, y'know?"

Sunset frowned. "Yeah... I know what you mean..."

Meanwhile, Pinks was with Twilight and Kai. "Soooooo, how have ya been?" she asked. Kai was about to answer until being interrupted by Pinks. "OH! Can you tell some war tales? Something like Hell's Highway or something? That'd be really fun!"

"Story tales?" he asked.

Pinks nodded. "Yeah! Meesa wanna know what being a Jedi is REALLY like!"

"Only if you say please." Kai said with a grin.

"Please?" she asked with sad, puppy eyes.

Kai laid back and told a tale about his weary tales in the middle of his time on Lula, such as his close encounters with a ship crashing, and his ambush against a small base. But during the time... a dark lord would be given a message...



On a large shuttle having the Lunar Republic insignia on the top, there was a Horseman walking towards a dark room. He wore dark robes with a moon insignia, and hid his face with his hood. A captain wearing a grey outfit walked beside him.

"Sir, before you enter and do your business," he said. "I am giving you a quick heads-up that we are almost at our location."

"Perfect." the robed pony said in a deep and droning voice. He took off his hood and revealed his dark blue fur, bright blue mane, and yellow eyes. He also had half of his face shown, the other half being covered by black metal. It wasn't shattered or ruined, it was built and meant to look like that. "Right now, I am telling you to leave me alone at once."

The captain nodded. "Yes, Darth Obi." He let him be, and the robed pony entered the very dark room.

He sat in a chair in the middle of the room, and turned on his hologram. After waiting for some time, he was met with another dark lord, one whom had a dark helmet on with a black horn poking out. "Darth Obiareus." the muffled female voice said.

"Darth Moon." Obi said back. "I suppose you needed to tell me something?"

"Yes." Moon said. "I want YOU to know in advance that some... interference has entered your invasion plans."

"I beg your pardon?" Obi said, feeling a little angry.

"Jedi." she answered. "There are reports of Jedi warriors entering the planet, ones that have gotten plans of not just your invasion, but also your creation."

"Dammit..." Obi muttered under his breath. "Who are these Jedi?"

"Oh, some pitiful apprentices with their master." she said. "That's who managed to assault such a station!"

"Pitiful apprentices and a master... And how could this ruin an invasion of powerful droids?"

"Little do you know, these Jedi seem to be very powerful and smart. Do you KNOW how great that station was? Being filled with your 'amazing' droids and all of those troopers? They managed to get in and started to make the escape and go away with plans to help spoil your surprise attack. And not just that, but will probably make an invasion against your Lunar Menace."

Obi growled. "Moon, I am not to be destroyed just because of some mistakes made by weak and dishonorable weaklings!" he yelled. "You'll see! The whole planet is in the palm of my hoof, and you'll see exactly that everything will go according to plan! I'm doing this for you and the Lunar Republic!" He glared with his yellow eyes at Darth Moon. "Why must you doubt me?"

Darth Moon stood in silence, not saying a word, nor letting out a sound, even her breathing. "I dismiss you, Darth Obiareus. I only wish you come back alive, but also with Rockuu in control." she said. "I am counting on you."

"Yes, Darth Moon." he said. "I won't let you down, I swear to God."

With that, Darth Moon disappeared from the hologram, and Darth Obiareus sat there in his dark and empty room. "I'll show her... I'll show the whole damn Order and the Republic..."
