Fire.
Panic in the streets.
Canterlot lies in rubble and ruins, the citizenry in chains.
Calamity has come to Equestria.

But that's none of Derpy Hooves' concern. Leave that mess for the Heroes to deal with (they always win in the end, right?). Besides, she's got her own problems to deal with. Problems that take the form of a very tall and intimidating figure engaged in a very one-sided affection.

This story is a sequel to Escape From Klugetown

Darth Vader and Tempest Shadow continue their hunt for Princess Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the Main Six after their lucky escape from Klugetown. Their search lead them to the airship of the Ornithian pirate, Captain Celaeno, and her crew.

A very special thanks to EJLightning007arts for making the first story art image for this story, and to LoneUnicornWriter for recently proofreading it.

This Star Wars/MLP crossover is set during the MLP movie, as a "What If Darth Vader was in My Little Pony: The Movie". After success of "I Will Not Fail", people requested sequels, so I plan to make 5 sequels. This is the 3rd of the 5.

Tempest Shadow might be reformed, but life has been far from kind to her. The legacy of her actions as the Storm King's second-in-command continues to haunt her as she struggles to try and build a new life in a land she had long ago forsaken. Mistrusted by many, and feeling that her life is going nowhere, Tempest struggles to learn the magic of friendship. Feeling defeated, she is approached by Princess Luna, and pointed towards a rather obscure little tailors shop in Canterlot, run by a pony named Elusive; a pony also trying to forget the demons of his past, Tempest hopes to find a way to reinvent herself, but in doing so, she will discover that she isn't the only one with a chequered past, and find that maybe some secrets are best kept hidden, and that some truths aren't meant to be known.

With the Ritual of Sacanas complete and the alicorn magic successfully usurped, the Storm King's chief enforcer anticipates her long-awaited reward, while it seems only a miracle can prevent the sacking of Equestria's capitol...

(Semi-sequel to Storm Between Friends. It is encouraged but not required for you to read that first.)

Determined to make a name for himself and finally prove that he's not useless, Gallus decides to join Equestria's royal guard! A decision that shocks everyone! Since there's no rule against it and he's of the legal age to enroll, Gallus' decision is accepted.

Shining Armor soon decides that the newest recruit needs special training with a very special individual. Said individual turns out to be the royal guard's new task master: Commander Tempest Shadow. And Tempest has a reputation for being extremely tough on new recruits.

But maybe, just maybe, Gallus will not only survive her intense training but also come to learn something from her (and perhaps Tempest will learn something from him too).

After the Storm King steals a dragon egg from the Canterlot castle, he slowly starts his plan to rule Equestria

Tempest Shadow, while somewhat nervous about it, was rather excited about the prospect of spending the upcoming Hearth's Warming together with Glitter Drops, Cadence, her family, Twilight, and some of their friends, including this 'Sombra' she'd heard about.

She was a bit less happy when Glitter Drops couldn't make it, but at least she got to spend the holiday with all the others.

She was a lot less happy when with every subsequent time she got to do it.

By the time she got to the space whale she was kind of done with the whole thing.

With the fate of her friends on Earth hanging in the balance, Twilight has to hunt myths to figure out a way to cure Sunset and save Templar Laetitia.

Before you read: This is a side-story to XCOM: Ranger.

I will provide all possible information needed for those that do not have the time—or inclination—to read the other story to still be able understand this one. It's a LOT of info, however, and I'm not just going to dump it all in one go. The backstory will emerge as the story progresses.

During a diplomatic visit to Saddle Arabia, a sudden sandstorm sends the newly redeemed Tempest Shadow out into the harsh wilds of the desert. Raked with guilt and shame about her past, she teeters upon the abyss.

Until she comes upon the most bizarre form of a saviour, who decides to help the disgruntled unicorn escape the desert and perhaps even heal the demons that lay within.

Written from Tempest’s POV. Set during season 8

Tempest Shadow has aged throughout her twenty years of service to the Princess of Friendship. Now, she sails the cold northern sea to investigate a pirate. Sadly, or maybe thankfully, scouring the ice makes for a tenuous boredom only the ship's sly helmsmare can remedy.
