//------------------------------// // Mares On A Mission // Story: My Little Star Wars Episode I: The Lunar Menace // by MyLittleGeneration //------------------------------// In a universe far, far away... There was once an era of peace and harmony, through all types and kinds of races. Even with multiple planets and many ponies trotting the land, there was no war, but instead friendship and kindness. No disruptions seemed to brew any sort of conflict for about 1,000 years, and all lived happily... until a new nation rised. One that would make matters worse. As a new political party was formed, a new nation appeared to come with it. The Lunar Republic was formed by powerful people, mostly known Jedi masters, and was ruled by the sister of Grand master Celestia of the Celestial Jedi Order. Only known as Luna Eclipse. When conflict arose when Luna tried to force the new political system in power, both sisters argued and fought, but in the meanwhile, the Lunar Republic grew. Only growing in mass numbers of not just politicians or citizens, but also soldiers. When it finally came to one final warning, the Lunar Republic led a terror attack on the capital, Canterlot. Thus, the galactic war began. As there were now two sides fighting each other, many have lost lives in the process. Battle after battle, attack after attack, a new era has been created, in which warriors rose to join the fight of the force. Jedi and Lunar warriors have grown and become powerful, using the powerful substance inside them known as the force. And for years this has come, tearing the people apart. Eventually, the once prideful and beautiful Luna Eclipse turned into the dark and dangerous Darth Moon, the first one of the four dark lords of the Lunar Republic, aka the Four Horsemen. The other soon-to-be dark lords being known as Darth Night, Darth Omen, and Darth Obiareus were a part of the fearful team, and as they worked together, it seemed that such power overran the Celestial Jedi Order. But soon, lord behold, a new faithful hero would rise, along with new friends and companions along the way, would rise and prove with her own force and strength that she could stop the dark force, end the war, and bring peace once more. But every hero, even this one, starts from zero. Our faithful hero would be known as the Grand Master's faithful apprentice: Twilight Sparkwalker. The purple unicorn would show great levels or force, and would be taken under the wing of the great Celestia herself, and would run alongside with another faithful apprentice, otherwise known as Sunset Shimmer. One hundred years have passed in the war, a treacherous century, and after news occurred of a new threat in space, particularly a new grand space station built by the Lunar Republic deemed by the name, Lunar Menace, Celestia formed a daunting plan for both of her apprentices to approach. With the help of a Jedi master, Kai Gon June, the two are sent to receive not just information on the devious structure, but also intel on the possible leader behind the joint, Darth Obiareus. If he was to rule it, it'd be a way to take down one of the Four Horsemen. And so begins the journey of our hero, and her destiny to bring justice in the universe... I Mares On A Mission On the beautiful planet Equestria, there were two young mares who walked side-by-side. On the right was a purple unicorn wearing a blue/white uniform with dark violet hair with hot-pink highlights, and on the left was a tan unicorn, having fiery hair and was wearing a red/white uniform identical to the other unicorn's, except for the color. Sounds of metal and construction of weapons and ships circled around them, and filled the ground station on the bright, sunny day. "So, I suppose this is something new, isn't it?" the purple unicorn asked. "Yes, Twilight. Definitely something new." said the tan mare, revealing the other unicorn as Twilight. "Can't believe Grand Master Celestia already puts up to the task. I mean, we've been under her wing for a long time, made the force strong within us, but... I don't know about this." "Relax, Sunset," said Twilight, revealing the tan mare as Sunset. "Celestia knows we're ready, and if we just work together, we can do it. Plus, after all, she did give us a Jedi master to help us on the way. Matter of fact, one who's been fighting on the planet Lula for two years!" "True." Sunset said, putting her hoof on her chin. "But even with Kai, I feel like something wrong is gonna happen." She looked at Twilight, who had a sure smile on her face. "Yet, if we do work together, we can do it." Both mares gave each other a hoof bump, before being confronted by a stallion whom had a circle beard, brown hair put in a ponytail, and light yellow skin. This could only be... "Master June." Sunset said, standing at full attention along with Twilight. "Relax, at ease." Kai said with a slight chuckle. "No need to do that, but I respect the both of you for that, though." He wore brown robes, with a white shirt underneath, and had his lightsaber tucked in the side. "Grand Master Celestia has assigned the both of you with me for a reason. There is the new threat that is the Lunar Menace, which I'm sure Celestia has described for you." The two mares nodded. "Well, before we enter the belly of the beast, there is another little station we must enter." He pulled out a blueprint with force from his horn, and laid it on a table. "Woah." the mares said at the same time, surprised to see a detailed blueprint of a station that was rather like a docking ship. "This may look like those docking ship for those fighting ships," said Kai. "But trust me, this is something bigger. Inside this is an entire sector, where some soldiers train, where plans are put, etc. What we need is intel for the Lunar Menace, cause there is said to be certainly info on the station, being linked to the station and all." He looked back and pointed at a window, which showed manufacturers working on a small ship, looking identical to the ones the Lunar Republic has. "We are going to play a role as some sort of Lunar warriors sent to discuss plans with the captain. We got it all covered." "So, we just go in, disguised as Lunar warriors, and get the intel while inside?" asked Twilight. "Yes, but we must move quick. Certainly, they will realize the ship is fake when we land later on, and that we are in fact Jedi, so the station will be on full alert." He pointed his hoof on what seemed to be escape pods on the blueprints. "We escape via pods, and we crash land on the planet below, Rockuu. Got it?" The apprentices nodded, and Kai smiled. "Then this should go nice. I'll help lead you apprentices during the mission, and once we get out of there, I have contact with the Order, so we'll get a quick ride back to Equestria." A worker passed the trio. "It seems like the ship will be in shape around ten minutes, not a second more." he said. "Good luck on your mission, Jedi." He gave them a quick salute. "No need, sir." Twilight said with a little giggle. "But, we at least respect it." This made Kai smile a bit before the worker left. "And who knows, maybe we might be able to cross paths with Darth Obiareus." Kai said, making the two raise a brow. "Master... I beg your pardon?" Sunset asks. "Oh," Kai looked at them and forgot to tell them what might be able to happen, if they had the chance. "During this mission, we may find Obiareus, one of the-" "Four Horsemen." Twilight interrupted. "How is it possible?" "Well, Twilight, it is said that the leader behind this operation is Darth Obiareus himself. So, in that case, it may be possible that we may cross paths with him. He is deemed to be the least powerful of the four, but still, he is a major threat to the Jedi Order." He looked at the two in worry. "You two aren't afraid now, are you?" The mares shook their heads. He let out a sigh of relief. "Good. Jedi are never afraid, but if he may show, we might fight him." "Darth Obiareus..." Sunset said. "A real dark lord... Is it true?" "It is. He's behind the creation, and we believe he's got a real plan behind this. To prevent this, we must attack immediately. Perhaps he has an attack on the planet below. Yet, he may be smart and could be elsewhere away from the Lunar Menace. But, only time will tell." The two mares nodded once more. "Come, we must get ready. This is gonna be a big mission, so we must prepare." said Kai. The three Jedi then prepared their lightsabers and gear, then heading to the ship. After a couple of minutes, the ship was in top shape, and Kai hit the pilot's seat. "Get ready, my little Jedi." he said with a chuckle while the mares took a seat. "Before we go," said Twilight. "How dangerous is Rockuu? I've heard it isn't the safest planet." Kai sighed. "Honestly, not that bad, but there are some vicious creatures in that planet. But trust me, dear Twilight, we'll do just fine down there." With that said, Kai piloted the ship off the platform, and flew out into the skies, soon into space. The mission was set, and it was on go now.
