Crystal Warning Pt. II

Crystal Warning Pt. II

Finally, after twenty minutes of flying, the shining city of Crystal was in view. "Crystal is up ahead, Grand Master." the pilot told Celestia, who was beside him.

"Great work, pilot." she said, then moving to the back. "Get ready. We're approaching Crystal. And when we get there, just try not to make a panic out of the situation."

Pinks gave a sure salute. "Ay-ay, Celestia." she said.

Kai shook his head at Pinks. "Yes, Grand Master."

Twilight and Sunset looked outside the window to see then giant crystals peering out of the ground, along with some bits and pieces there and there. "Well, this seems to just go by, doesn't it?" Twilight said.

"Yeah." Sunset agreed. "Oddly, I find this fun."

"I do appreciate this being fun, but we must keep serious and do our duties." said Celestia from behind. Sunset turned around to see her master. "I'm just saying, my little apprentices, that this is just the beginning. Heaven knows if there will be more chaos and even bigger threats coming towards our way, so we must be cautious. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Grand Master." said the apprentices at the same time.

Celestia smiled. "That's the attitude I want from my Jedi." The ship then started to slow down. "Let's warn Princess Cadenza before anything goes wrong."


After a quick landing and assemble of Crystal guards lining up in front of it, the ship opened, and Celestia appeared. The platform they landed on was right next to the castle above Crystal, which shined below with its buildings and ponies roaming freely.

"Grand Master Celestia!" said the guard in the middle, wearing blue-platinum armor which sparkled like the rest of the guards' crystal armor, but he also had the Crystal Empire insignia on the chestplate made out of crystal. He also had purple fur and orange-white hair in a mo-hawk. He approached the Grand Master. "It is an honor to have you here." he said, bowing. "I'm Captain Falin. What brings you here?"

"I just need a word with Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, captain." she answered. The Jedi, Pinks, and Gidget came from behind. The guard nodded.

"Of course. Right this way." He walked towards a large door, in which the guards opened for him. The guards quickly saluted the captain, but he didn't salute back. "I'll lead you to her throne room." Celestia and the rest walked with Captain Falin, and made their way through the crystal hallway, featuring portraits of the princess and her husband, and also other heirs before them.

"Fancy hallways you have here." Pinks said.

"Welcome to Crystal Castle." said Falin. "This is all royalty to Crystal's finest! The princess and her prince rule our Empire, and we the royal people must keep the castle perfect for such rulers." He smiled. "Of course, why treat thy royal people that help keep us safe so dirty?"

"Agreed." said Gidget.

They took a turn to see a large two-side door with the Crystal insignia on each door. It showed their reflection clearly, which surprised the apprentices. "Is that the throne room?" Twilight asked.

"Ye." Falin answered. "In this room you shall meet the only the Princess, whom you need, yes?"

"Yes." Celestia answered. "But may I ask why specifically her in that room?"

"Prince Armor is out training the 101st army in the fields. Princess Cadenza is in here." he explained. He then approached the door, where two armored ponies with long spears were guarding. They stood at full attention and opened the door. "Thank you, men." he said to them.

They were then introduced to a large room with guards inside, large windows, and a princess sitting in her large throne. "Captain Falin." the princess who had pink fur and mane featuring violet, rose, and gold color said. She also wore a dress made out of both crystal and pink fabric, which she wore nicely. The royal princess noticed the beings behind him, but noticed one. "Grand Master Celestia!" she said with a smile.

"Cadenza." Celestia said with a smile.

"You know her?" Pinks asked.

"Well, of course. We are members of the Jedi Guild." Cadenza said, still smiling. She stepped off her throne and trotted towards Celestia. "It is great to see you once more. But, what brings you here?"

"We have some important... business to discuss." she answered. Cadenza looked at the others next to her.

"And who are they?" she asked.

Celestia answered, "These two are my apprentices, Twilight and Sunset," She pointed at Twilight and Sunset next to her. "Master Kai," She pointed at Kai, who slightly bowed. "This is... Pie Pie Pinks," She pointed at a springy Pinks. "And this is Gidget." She finally pointed at Gidget, who smiled and bowed.

"Ah. I see." the princess said. She looked to her left and right. "Follow me, and we can talk in private." She looked at the Jedi, Piete, and Gidget once more. "Are they coming?" she asked, which Celestia nodded. "Okay." She looked at a guard who was beside her, which none noticed except for Cadenza. "Flash Amidala."

Then, they saw a guard beside her wearing the same crystal armor that every other guard wore, and he had orange fur with sapphire blue hair. Though what was different from the others was the blue, shiny star on his chestplate. He looked at the princess. "Yes, your majesty?" he said.

"Come." She walked off the throne room into the hallway with Flash, Celestia, and the rest of the group. But meanwhile...


Back on the large ship that soared through space, the dark lord paced back and forth in his pitch-black room. "I won't let them down... Dammit, I won't!" he said to himself. "She trained me for moments... She trained me for this... She might as hell be trying to pass the torch to me!"

A knock was heard on the door, which alarmed Darth Obiareus. "My lord, are you alright?" a voice said from the other side.

"Yes, yes, why wouldn't I be?" Darth answered, walking out of the room. The captain was in front of him, backing up. "What is it?"

"Oh, w-well, sir, we've been here for... a while." he answered. Darth looked outside the window to see that they were inside of something, which was his creation.

"Ah, so we are." He started walking fast towards the exit and appeared in front of multiple droids and troopers all lined up. He walked down and troopers saluted while droids stood there with guns permanently in hoof. He admired the large space and construction of ships around him. "I am already liking this already..."

"Glad to see you are, sir." said the captain beside him. "It seems like everything is according to plan, yes, my lord?"

"Yes..." Obiareus said with a grin. "I do believe so..." He continued trotting along, where he would see everything he expected. Hard workers building ships and droids, training of troopers, everything seemed to go to plan. "How weak to think that the great Darth Moon would look down on me..."

"What was that, sire?" the captain asked, swearing that he heard something weird.

"Nothing." the dark lord answered, and he continued on. The Lunar Menace was truly armed to the core, with it's weapons and artillery on the top being in perfect form and shape, and the army being sent down was also in great form, with not just the stronger and better droids, but the tough stallions being trained strictly by their captains. Darth Obi smiled with malice dripping, and looked at the planet below through one of the few windows. "Rockuu... is ours..."


The Jedi continued following Princess Cadenza, through the hallways and down the castle. From the highest level where the landing platform and throne laid, down to the main floor, but it wasn't over still. Cadenza looked at a guard who was very different from the others. He had dark, shiny armor covering him whole, showing no skin at all. "Sir, open the door." she said.

The Jedi apprentices raised a brow, and so did Kai, Pinks, and Gidget. "Door?" they said in unison. The black-armored guard then pushed his hoof against some secret button on the wall, and suddenly, the normal wall made of crystal suddenly had a door spawn and open up.

Cadenza smiled. "Thank you, dear sir." she said, and she trotted inside with Flash by her side and the others behind. The door led to steps going down deeper and deeper, but it didn't take long to reach the bottom. The crystal was no more, and instead the walls were made of stone and had torches on the walls lit up. It was like some eerie dungeon of doom, but Cadenza opened a wooden door and entered yet ANOTHER room, which had a single table with multiple chairs.

"Well, talk about privacy." Kai commented as he sat on a seat with the others.

"Yeah. Same." Pinks agreed.

"Well, if Grand Master Celestia is coming, that certainly means something big." Cadenza explained, looking at Celestia. "What seems to be the problem? We didn't plan a visit here. Is there an emergency?"

"Yes." Celestia said, then looking at Kai. "Kai." The master handed Celestia the plans, and she displayed them on the table. "These are plans for an invasion. Against Crystal."

"Here?" Cadenza said, then feeling a little frightened. "Oh no. This isn't good. I'm going to need my husband back right away!"

"It seems that way." Celestia said, pointing at the paper that featured a droid. "This is their new and improved droid. The Jedi have already taken a look, and it already seems tough and deadly. They are making multiple now in this." She then pointed at the Lunar Menace. "This is a new structure created in space, or more specifically, on top of the planet. They are planning to invade soon. Around hours to go."

The princess looked closely at the papers. "I'll contact Shining Armore soon. Anything else you need to tell me?"

"Well, we are also planning to attack the Lunar Menace at the time during the invasion." she answered. "I have yet assigned these Jedi to go after it." She pointed at Sunset, Twilight, and Kai. "I'll be assisting you in battle, and so will Pinks and Gidget."

"I am?" Pinks questioned. Celestia looked at Pinks.

"Oh. Well, first we need to see the force issue here within you." she said. "But also, I fear you may have to take part of the battle, Pie."

"Okay." Pinks said, feeling a little afraid. "I understand fully, Grand Mastah Celestia." But then she smiled. "I actually do know a little fighting skill myself! Hiiii-" She was pretending to do a large jab, but Celestia feared she was going to let out the- "YA!"

Force pushed out of the hoof and pushed Kai against the wall as he was across from her. "Oof!" he grunted as he made contact.

"Oopsie..." she said, giving another sheepish smile.

"We definitely need to control the force inside you." Twilight said. "You seem very powerful."

"Well, that'll be dealt with soon." Celestia said. She looked back at Cadenza. "That is all. Hopefully, we should be ready."

"Alright, Celestia." Cadenza said, getting off her chair. "I suppose we have our ways in here from now on then?" Celestia nodded. "You are dismissed Flash. Shining isn't too far from here, so I'll get the best stallion we have here quickly and try to plan how to defend. We are gonna try to get away from the city."

"That is a smart decision to do." Celestia said, getting off the chair. "As for all of you," she said, looking at her group. "I want you Jedi to prepare your skills for when you depart to the Lunar Menace. Gidget, you can... I suppose see if you can build things or help out the army in weaponry. And Pinks..." She looked at Pinks, who was trying hard not to move. "You come with me. I'm going to see if I can help you use the force."

"Okie-dokie, Loki!" she said. Everypony left the room, and went back on the main floor, and did whatever they needed to do to get ready. Cause now... they have a threat to be aware of...
