> Star Wars: The Fall of The New Lunar Republic and the Solar Empire > by 123123231213231231 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Star Wars: The Three War State > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… Star Wars War! Has engulfed the Equestrian territories, as the New Lunar Republic and the Solar Empire fight for control of planets. As each Government tries to grab for more and more territory, they have unwittingly been spotted by a probe droid. The two princesses have a new enemy now, as a Probe Droid was sent out by the Galactic Empire! The Galactic Empire has begun its hunt for Luke Skywalker, the man who destroyed the Death Star. As lord Vader scours the galaxy for Skywalker, the Empire has accidentally stumbled upon the 2 warring states. With the fate of Equestria now lying in the Empire’s hands. The Imperial fleet is deep in the Equestrian System. And Lord Vader has also sensed a great disturbance in the force. Will Vader join one side? Or destroy both sides! Somewhere above Equestria a small NLR Corvette, it was almost like a CR90 corvette but it was a bit boxier. The ship it was fleeing as an oncoming Imperial Star destroyer chased, the Star Destroyer shot at it. The NLR Corvette could only shoot back helplessly as the superior Star Destroyer chased it, the Star Destroyer shot back, aiming at the engines. The battle raged on. Then the Star Destroyer disabled the engines. On the Corvette, several earth ponies walked along and said “That ship just took out our engines.” Then several unicorns ran by their weapons ready, and then the ship shook ominously. The other earth pony said “Where doomed.” The ship shook, as Star Destroyer used its tractor beam, and put the ship into the hangar bay. On the Star Destroyer storm troopers where boarding the TIE boarder when. Then Darth Vader came into the crowd, the storm troopers gasped and stayed quite. Vader breathed heavily as he said “I want this ship searched for Skywalker! Bring him to me alive!” Then the stormtrooper commander Tiro Darsten walked up to Lord Vader and bowed and said “My lord, the pilot says we are ready to board, he is awaiting your orders.” Vader then said “He has my orders. Get your weapons loaded, I will enter last.” Tiro said “Right away Lord Vader.” Tiro sent out the orders to the pilot. The pilot docked onto the other ship, and got ready for boarding. On board the other ship, unicorn soldiers swarmed the entrance. They were getting ready for what they thought to be the Solar Empire soldiers to swarm in and take over. The unicorn’s armor was a dark purple color; their helmets had a visor which protected their eyes. The unicorn’s weapons were all pointed at the door, the weapons were attached to their helmets and if the unicorns bit onto the strap (which was in their helmet) it would shoot. Then the TIE boarder docked and they looked around as the ship shook. They then pointed at the door and thought “this isn’t the Solar Empire.” There was a long silence. Then the door exploded as Stormtroopers barged in shooting the Unicorns with their E-11’s. The unicorns stood no chance some screamed, one stormtrooper was shot and fell over dead. As the Stormtroopers ran down the hall ways, they shot any resistance. Then Darth Vader stepped through the door way, he looked at the unicorn bodies and the stormtrooper’s bodies. The pilots of the NLR ship were sending out a distress signal, and then voices came outside the door. The pilots got up and headed to the escape pods. When then in the hall ways storm troopers escorted there new prisoners. The unicorns where prisoners captured by the Galactic Empire. There weapons were removed and were raised in the air as they were escorted away. In the meeting room Vader was choking an Earth Pony “Where is Skywalker?” Vader roared the earth pony didn’t respond and said “We are here for the NLR, the New Lunar Republic!” Vader then threw the earth pony against the wall, and screamed “TEAR THE SHIP APART UNTIL YOU FIND SKYWALKER!” The Stormtroopers nodded and searched the ship. The pilots of the NLR where in the escape pods, then they jettisoned as they flew out, they said “That ship it isn’t even a Solar Empire ship.” They flew away, heading towards another planet. Far away on the planet Vanat. The icy breeze blew against Luna’s cloak; Luna sat there with soldiers trotting to the base. When they arrived a commander reported “Luna your majesty!” Luna answered “Yes?” The earth pony commander said “One of our Corvettes have sent out a distress signal above Equestria! Wait a second the signal stopped, its mysterious nothing can stop one of our distress signals. Nothing cannot even the Solar Empire’s jamming devices.” Luna said “Weird must just a malfunction.” In Canterlot on Equestria, Celestia was watching the entire battle unfold through a telescope. Celestia commented on it by saying “That isn’t one of our ships.” Twilight Sparkles walked up to Celestia, Twilight flexed her wings and said “Something wrong?” Celestia said “I spotted a NLR ship, and then this other ship which isn’t ours captured it.” Celestia then said “Twilight can you lead a fleet to destroy this new threat?” Twilight said “I would be happy to princess!” In an asteroid field on the Executor. Vader walked to the bridge, in the hangar probe droids were being deployed being sent out to random planets. Vader breathed heavily then Tiro walked in and said “My lord, we have a fleet coming in. This isn’t ours.” Vader turned around and said “Get ready for battle, I want all TIE fighters and interceptors deployed.” As the TIE fighters and interceptors flew through the battlefield, then the Solar Empire fleet flew out of hyperspace, there ships where shaped like Triangles they had a hangar on the left and right sides of the ships. The ships had a little area that rose, that area was shaped like a triangle, and it had turrets along its sides. Darth Vader watched the ships, and said “Send a transmission to them.” Tiro said “Yes my lord.” Vader watched as a hologram fizzled the hologram was Twilight Sparkles. Darth Vader said “Move your fleet in the name of the Emperor!” Twilight responded “In the Name of the Solar Empire surrender!” Vader growled “Move your fleet, NOW!” Twilight responded “Never.” Vader then lifted his hand. On Twilight Sparkle’s ship. Twilight was making gagging noises, as she lifted her hoof up to her neck, as Darth Vader choked her. Then several royal guards smashed the holo projector and said “Were attacking.” Twilight said gasping for air “That would be a good idea.” Twilight sent out the order. As the Solar Empire ships attacked the Star Destoryers. The TIE fighters flew in. As Solar Empire star fighters buzzed around trying to out gun the TIE fighters it was no use. The TIE fighters shot them all down. Then the TIE fighters had superiority. But then out of the blue Executor unleashed a devastating bombardment onto one Solar Empire star ship, the star ship exploded. Then the Solar Empire ships turned around and entered hyper space. Vader then said “Get ready to chase them back to where they came from!” Tiro said “As you wish lord Vader.” Then the star fleet got ready to enter hyperspace, then they entered heading towards Equestria. Twilight arrived at Equestria in time. Twilight was walking through the Canterlot castle, when then an upset looking Celestia appeared. Celestia said in a very angry voice “You failed Twilight I expected better from you.” Twilight said “I’m sorry they outgunned us, they had more experience they were stronger.” Then someone was walking in the hallways. His breathing was different it was deep, and evil. Then the man appeared it was Darth Vader. Vader turned on his lightsaber and said “Tell me where Skywalker is now!” Celestia then said “Who are you?” Vader got into battle ready position and said “I am Darth Vader; I am here searching for Luke Skywalker in the name of the Galactic Empire!” Celestia said “We don’t know what you are talking about.” Vader then lifted his arm up, Celestia started making some gagging noises, and she then dropped to the ground trying to get air. Vader then screamed “WHERE IS SKYWALKER!” Celestia looked up and said through the little air she had “We don’t know!” Then several of Celestia’s royal guards entered the room. Vader turned around he raised his lightsaber, he dropped Celestia and walked to the royal guards. Vader towered over the royal guards when then, Vader swiftly swung his lightsaber, a head fell to the ground as Vader killed the pony, the whites of the eyes shown as Vader walked away. Vader then turned to the other guard, and force pushed him out the window. The guard screamed in terror as he fell to death. Vader turned his head to Celestia and said “Now feel the true nature of the dark side.” Vader lifted his hand up, and force pushed Celestia out the window, Celestia then went flying away. Vader walked towards Twilight, Vader then kicked Twilight and said “Your powers are weak young pony.” Twilight then hovered, her eyes glowed. Vader then said “What?” Stormtroopers stormed into the room, they started shooting at Twilight, but then Twilight shot out magic at the troopers. The Stormtrooper’s dropped down dead, as the room exploded. Vader then deflected the magic spells, he then force pushed Twilight away out the window, Twilight was flung away and flung into the Everfree forest. Vader walked up to the window and looked at the bodies of the troopers. Vader then noticed Tiro who was running up. Tiro said “Lord Vader orders?” Vader turned around and said “Contact Boba Fett. I need his expertise.” Tiro responded “Yes my lord.” > The Hunt is on > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Hunt is on Boba Fett knelt down; he was now in Canterlot at the crime scene. He looked at the wreckage Twilight caused, when she was approached by Vader. Vader stood above him, breathing and staring down at him. Boba stood up and said “It seems she did a lot of damage.” Vader turned to him and said “Bring her and the other one to me.” Boba Fett looked around and said “I’ll need squadron of stormtroopers. They need elite training, and high tech equipment.” Vader then said “The Empire will provide you with whatever you need.” Vader turned to several Shadow Troopers who emerged from there cloaking devices, the Shadow Troopers wore normal stormtrooper armor but, it was pitch black, there frown was gray and so were there eyes. Boba Fett stared at them and said “They’ll do.” Vader watched as Boba got on board of the Slave 1 and took off. Vader turned around and walked to his shuttle. Above Equestria, the Executor was orbiting. Then Vader’s shuttle came into view, as Vader’s shuttle flew towards it the pilots sent out clearance codes. Then the shuttle accelerated to get closer, and get ready for landing. When then they were clear for landing. Then the shuttle flew into the hangar, it landed. Then Stormtroopers appeared, and stood guard. Then the ramp lowered, and Vader got off the shuttle. And headed to his mediation chamber. On Vanat, Luna was walking through the ice tunnels when then a soldier ran up to her and said “Luna, Canterlot has fallen.” Luna’s face turned into a smile and said “We took Canterlot?” The soldier shook his head and said “No they took it.” Luna knew who it was the mysterious invaders, the army that was stronger than hers and Celestia’s combined. Luna then said “We need to get ready, anything is possible. They could attack at a moment’s notice.” The soldier bowed and said “Yes your highness.” On board the Executor, they were sending out probe droids, as each droid flew by and entered hyperspace. These droids would scout out the NLR and Solar Empire and send results back to Vader for examination. In the Everfree forest on Equestria, Celestia and Twilight were jumping over trees, they were running as the cloak Shadow Troopers chased after them. The troopers where cloaked, and could not be seen. A tree exploded next to Celestia as a blast from a heavy assault rifle hit it. Celestia stared at it, her eyes widened. Celestia turned around in fear just to see nothing. Twilight and Celestia then walked around in the forest it was quiet, to quiet. Then the entered a clearing, the Slave 1 was there. Celestia said “Good a ship, we can get away.” Then Boba Fett with his jetpack landed in front of Celestia. Boba Fett turned around and kicked Twilight in the nose. Twilight fell back as Boba ran up to Celestia and punched her. Celestia screamed in pain as Boba Fett hit her. Celestia was bruised and bleeding now, blood was dripping into the grass. Twilight’s nose was bleeding; Boba turned around and shot a wire at Twilight, Twilight screamed in horror but no pony could save her. Twilight tried to break free, then Celestia was charging up a sun spell, when then bam, Shadow Trooper shot her. Celestia was stunned, and Twilight was captured. Boba Fett stood above them and said “Get them stabilized.” Boba Fett then said to the Shadow Troopers “Put them in the prison cells.” The Shadow Troopers complied. The Shadow Troopers then put Celestia and Twilight into the prison cells. Boba Fett then took off and flew towards the Executor. When Fett landed the Slave 1, Vader was there awaiting him. Vader then said “Take them to the prison cells.” Several Stormtroopers next to Vader nodded and walked up to Celestia’s unconscious body and dragged her to the cell. But with Twilight, they had to unravel the wire and forced her around at gun point. On Vanat, Luna was walking around the ice base when then a Pegasi officer said “Commander, Celestia and Twilight have been captured, by them.” Luna gasped, they couldn’t have captured her sister and Twilight, they were too strong to be captured, and the only way they could be captured was by a miraculous bounty hunter. Luna then said to the commander “Tell all of the planets under our control to be on high alert.” The commander saluted Luna and said “Yes ma’am.” Darth Vader walked through the cell block of the Executor, and then he found the prison cell he was looking for Twilight Sparkles. Vader opened the door; Twilight looked up and said “What?” Vader stepped in, and then an interrogation droid followed. Twilight gasped as Vader said “Now we will discuss your little war you are having.” The blast door then slammed shut, as Vader was fully in the cell. Shining Armor trotted through the halls of the Crystal Castle, he heard about how Twilight was captured. Shining Armor was scared for Twilight, when then Cadance came by, tears were in her eyes. Shining Armor was busy awaiting news for the operation to begin. Shining Armor’s plan was simple; infiltrate the Executor, and save Twilight and Celestia. Cadance wept over Twilight and asked “Will I ever see her again?” Shining Armor muzzled Cadance and said “We will see Twilight again. Don’t worry Cadance we will.” Shining Armor thought to himself “I don’t think I will see Twilight again, she was kidnapped from the castle and taken to a star ship.” Cadance asked “How?” Shining Armor smirked and pointed his hoof out the window; a captured Lambda shuttle sat there, Shining Armor then said “We’ll fly this sucker.” In orbit of Equestria the Executor orbited around the planet, when then Shining Armor’s shuttle appeared. Shining Armor entered the clearance code and flew into the hangar, and landed. Vader was sitting in his mediation chamber, on the Executor when then Captain Veers entered. Vader turned around and said “Captain?” Veers answered Vader “Lord Vader, we have been having problems in the Cell Block which the princesses are being held in.” Vader stood up and said “Leave it to me.” Shining Armor ran through the cell block, his mission was simple “Save Twilight and Celestia.” Shining Armor levitated a blaster rifle, shooting down stormtroopers; the stormtroopers fell down dead in surprise. Then Shining Armor cleared the cell block, and put up a barricade near the entrance, he ran to Twilight’s and Celestia’s cell which he opened. Twilight walked out and hugged Shining Armor and said “Come on let’s get out of here.” Vader walked through the hall ways; he walked faster and faster towards the cell block. There he saw a barricade. Vader force shoved the barricade down. When Vader entered he saw only bodies, and the wounded, Vader turned around and headed towards the hangar. Vader walked into the hangar, there he saw an Imperial Shuttle taking off, and in the cockpit were Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkles. Vader ran up to the Lambda Shuttle. It was too late, the shuttle was flying away. Vader stood there and said “Get my TIE Advance ready.” Several Stormtroopers who just entered the hangar said “Yes my lord.” As the shuttle flew by the bridge of the Executor, they didn't notice the Slave 1 which was floating in trash that was thrown away by the Empire, and then the engine turned on after the shuttle entered hyperspace, Boba Fett was in the cockpit, and then Boba Fett then lowered his rangefinder and entered hyperspace. > The Cold Barren Wasteland > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cold Barren Waste Luna walked through the icy tunnels of the Vanat base, Luna stood there and announced “The Solar Empire is falling to an unknown enemy; we must strike both of them if we are to rule Equestria.” Several commanders stood up and said “Ma’am, were sorry to say we punched in the estimations. They would win a major victory over us quickly.” Luna stood up and shrieked in her royal Canterlot voice “WHAT!?!” Then an earth pony commander responded “Yes we would lose, they have better technology, better soldiers and better fighter ships.” Luna then shrieked again in her Canterlot voice “SILENCE!” The commander shut up, as Luna announced “Our scanners have picked up three ships coming out of hyperspace, I want you guys to get ready to defend!” Above Vanat several starships came out of hyperspace into the Vanat asteroid field. The ships were Shining Armor’s captured Lambda shuttle, Slave 1, and Darth Vader’s TIE Advance. Vader then contacted Fett and said “No shooting the shuttle down, try and force it to land.” Boba responded “As you wish.” Vader gained on the shuttle, his sights were locked on the wing. Vader then said “I have you now.” Then the Shuttles top wing exploded, Twilight who was on felt the shuttle shake. Then Boba Fett deployed a seismic charge. It exploded and then. KABOOM The seismic charge tore through the asteroids, destroying whatever was there, also damaging the shuttle. The Lambda shuttle spun out of control into the planet’s atmosphere, smoke was everywhere. The fire made it look like a comet, streaking through the sky with the contrail behind it. On board the shuttle it was getting hot, the wings were being torn off, Celestia was in the back screaming bloody murder. Shining Armor and Twilight were trying to guide it to safety. Then the snowy ground appeared, they pulled up. As the shuttle slid, along the ice Cadance and Celestia were being thrown around in the back. Then the shuttle came to a stop. Twilight looked out the cracked window, and saw nothing but blizzard like conditions. Then they had to get out, because of the fire. As the four trotted out the shuttle exploded, creating a massive smoke cloud. In the Vanat base, the ground shook as the explosion from the shuttle went through the earth. Several unicorns cowered in fear, and several others ran for help. Luna stood up and said “Go and get an investigation team, it is possible that explosion is them.” Luna stood there trembling in fear, as she thought of the disaster that could happen possibly. As the scout team found the remains of the shuttle, they found the blooded four ponies that were on it, Celestia, Twilight, Cadance and Shining Armor. They then aimed their weapons and screamed “Freeze!” Twilight said “We are freezing!” Then a Pegasi soldier said “In the name of the New Lunar Republic surrender!” Twilight sighed and said “I guess we have no other choice.” They then surrendered. As Vader’s TIE Advance flew above the surface of Vanat he searched for the crashed shuttle. Then Vader found a crashed burning remains of a shuttle, Vader scanned it “No life signs.” The scanner said. Vader scoured the area more searching for the four ponies. Vader still found no life signs. Vader pulled his TIE Advance up, and entered space. Then Vader entered the codes for hyperspace, and then he was in hyperspace heading towards Equestria. But the Slave 1 did not enter hyperspace instead Fett landed, looking at the crime scene. In the Vanat base, Celestia was thrown into a prison cell, so where the others. Luna gave out and orders “Interrogate and torture them if you have to, I want info about this group we are now enemies with.” Vader was now aboard the Executor watching the Star Destroyers go by, he breathed heavily as he watched. Then a TIE interceptor flew by, Vader stood there watching everything planning every move. Vader then decided to head down to Canterlot and see everything. In Canterlot, snipers hid in the tower as AT-ST’s walked through the city keeping order. Stormtroopers walked around, and Shadow troopers hid in the crowds waiting to strike down a rebel. Vader was in the Canterlot palace. Vader then walked onto the balcony, he watched as Sentinel Shuttle’s engines turned on and took off, and AT-AT’s walked towards transports getting on. Vader’s cape blew in the wind. The roar of the engines was in the air, as TIE fighters flew by. Vader turned around and headed into the castle, his cape trailing him. Celestia screamed out in pain, the interrogation droid in her cell was branding her, to get her to talk. Celestia screamed out “I told you everything!” The interrogation earth pony shook his head and said “We think you have a few secrets. Tell me what happened to the corvette that was over Equestria, did you capture it?” Celestia shook her head and said “No, I watched as they took it, I didn't know who they were.” The interrogation pony snarled “Droid, do some more damage.” Celestia screamed out “Help!” Vader then boarded his imperial shuttle and took off, and headed to the Executor. When Vader arrived on board he said “Be on standby, hostiles are all around us.” Tiro responded “Yes my lord.” Vader stood there watching the Star Destroyers go by. Vader turned around and headed into his meditation chamber. On Vanat, Boba Fett tracked down the hoof prints to a military base. Boba Fett then spotted several ponies walking outside; Fett took careful aim at them. Then Fett fired an earth pony that was on the ground nearby, got shot in the head. The earth ponies head took the full impact, the pony fell over mortally wounded. The earth pony’s shattered helmet fell to the ground, the pony was dead. Then the other earth ponies in the patrol started screaming in terror, as they shot everywhere. Boba Fett smirked under his helmet and mumbled “These ponies don’t take a hint.” Fett stood up on the snow drift he was hiding behind; he bent down and fired his jet pack rocket. The earth pony patrol, tried to get away. The rocket soared through the air. But the rocket hit them, as the earth ponies were destroyed instantly; Fett looked up and saw armor pieces falling down. Luna was in the command center when a transmission came in. A soldier was screaming “Back up needed in sector 6!” Luna listened closer and then she heard “Holy crap! Were under fire, in sector 6! Take cover! NO WAIT NO! ARGH!” Then the transmission ended with the explosion. Luna then said “Go and find their bodies, they need a proper burial.” Several unicorn soldiers nodded and trotted away. Boba Fett hid behind a snow drift; he was now on the run. Then he heard voices. Fett listened as one said “So sector 6 got attacked eh?” Then another voice said “Yeah, apparently a missile attack.” Boba Fett got his gun ready, and went behind the Unicorns. Boba then threw out a thermal detonator. The detonator started to beep; the unicorns looked at their feet and screamed “HOLY!” The detonator exploded, killing both unicorns instantly. Fett walked up, and saw the Unicorns who were no sizzling, Fett walked away his cape blew a little bit in the wind. The commanders where traumatized from the recordings. The command center was quiet, Luna said “Play the recording again.” The recording played, it started with the soldiers chatting and then the beeping and then “HOLY!” And then an explosion and static followed quickly. Luna put her hoof to her forehead, and trembled and said “What is this thing?” Several earth pony commanders said “Luna, we think they are the mysterious forces.” Luna said “It’s only a matter of time till the all find us.” On board a star destroyer, they were deploying Viper Probe droids. As the droids flew by, they made a whirring noise. But one in particular entered hyperspace towards another planet. Then the droid came out of hyperspace and flew towards Vanat, as it entered the atmosphere, it didn't burn. Instead it flew faster and faster. Then the droid hit the ground, the protective casing broke open. Then the Viper Probe Droid appeared and said “Scanning for life forms, scanning for life forms.” > The War Begins > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The War Begins Vader stood there at a station on the Executor, he watched as the Viper Probe droid took pictures of the NLR base. Vader stood there over several officers, as the officers sent orders to the droid. Vader watched closely as the Viper class probe droid fed info to the screen. Vader breathed heavily, and then Vader said “That is the place get ready to enter light speed.” Then an officer stood up and said “My lord, this could be a decoy. We need more proof.” Vader angrily responded “That is the base, get ready for the jump to lightspeed.” “System to Scanner, System to Scanner.” Said the Viper Probe droid as it sent out info to the Empire’s ships. Then the Probe Droid moved along, and headed to another location, it hovered effortlessly, as a blizzard pulled in. Luna sat in her seat as the words “System to Scanner, System to Scanner.” Those words came in to the radio; Luna stood up and said “What’s saying that?” A Pegasi comm officer tuned the communication array and said “I don't know but it isn’t a NLR code or Solar Empire code.” Luna stared at the radio and said “Hmmm. Send a squad out, and destroy that thing.” Luna watched as a squad was deployed. The blizzard was harsh, the Probe Droid just moved along hovering effortlessly above the snow drifts. Then a unicorn squad poked their heads over a snow drift, the probe droid set off a siren, and shot its cannon. One unlucky unicorn was hit and died. The others returned fire and shot at the probe droid. The probe droid then self-destructed, causing it to rain debris down onto the squad. Luna was leaning listening to the mission. Luna then said into her headset “Alpha squad, what is your condition?” The head unicorn leader patched through and said “We lost one unicorn; the thing was a spy droid. It self-destructed before we could get a look at it.” Luna sighed, and said “Get back to base.” Luna then said to the commander of the base “Get ready to evacuate.” Vader was on board the Executor when then, the word came, and as Captain Veers entered Vader’s Meditation Chamber he said “My lord, the probe droid that we had the best lead on. Has self-destructed, we have some of the recording of the destruction for you my lord.” Vader stood up, and walked towards the bridge of the Executor. Luna walked through the crowds of soldiers, who were all armed and ready to fight. Luna then said calmly “We will be using these fighters that we found crashed, to combat both the ground forces and space forces.” Luna pointed at some old Z-95 headhunters, which crashed. Luna then said “We produced these before the new threat came, so we will be able to fight them off. The transports will take off, and these fighters will escort them. Every fighter must protect their transport, those starships are strong. And we don't have a ground to space gun here to destroy the ships.” Luna then said “Already the ground defense will be simple, take down whatever they have. Our reports say they only have soldiers, so it will be an easy win. We think they have no tanks, but we will be still having anti-tank guns.” The Unicorn, Earth pony defenders nodded, and said “Yes ma'am!” Vader walked aboard the Executor, and said “Captain Veers.” Veers turned around and said “My lord?” Vader then said “You will be leading the ground invasion, use your AT-AT’s. I want the battlefield to be cleared by the time I arrive.” Veers then said “Yes my lord.” Veers turned around, and headed to the hangar to get ready for battle. In the trenches of Vanat, the soldiers had their guns ready; they were all mounted on the trench’s walls. The defenders ran by, as the Z-95’s took off. The Z-95’s flew by with the prisoner transport; they flew into the space and evaded the hostile Star Destroyers. Near the Imperial assembly area, the AT-AT’s were deployed, Veers was in his. Veers then said “All forces move out. I repeat move out.” Then the AT-AT’s started walking with there AT-ST escorts walking by, making a loud thunderous thud. Luna stood there in the command center and said “Their primary target is the ammo dumps.” Then the ground shook, Luna looked up as ice fell by. Luna then said “Get ready for battle!” In the trenches the defense soldiers looked around, the ground shook. They then looked through binoculars, they saw metal feet and said “Hostile walkers spotted!” Then the Z-95’s flew into battle, shooting at the walkers. The AT-AT’s shot at the ground defenses, as the unicorn’s shot at the AT-STs they then were returned with a massive barrage of lasers, the Battle of Vanat has begun. Several unicorn’s screamed as a Z-95 headhunter flew into them. The AT-AT’s fired at the trenches, which exploded as dead defenders fell down. Smoke filled the air, as Z-95’s flew into the ground exploding. The Earth pony defenses were reduced to rubble, as the AT-AT’s open fired on their bunkers. Some ponies stood up and ran away, only to be killed by the AT-AT’s massive guns. As the walker’s advanced, they stepped on more and more ponies. Then a transport took off, only to be shot down by a walker’s guns. The transport went flying into a trench, destroying everything and then exploding on the ground. Ponies screamed as the explosion engulfed them, killing most of them. The casualties were huge. As the ponies fell down dying, they would scream out in terror, as a walker would step on them. The amount of casualties were unbelievable, but this was only the beginning of the battle. Then the defense was falling apart, the AT-AT’s stepped onto the trench crushing the ponies below them. Then a snow trooper walked up to Veers who was his AT-AT and said “Sir, the ground forces are ready.” Veers then got a transmission from Vader, Veers then said “There defense’s will be down soon.” Veers looked through the targeting periscope, and said “Target at maximum fire power.” Then the ammo depot exploded, causing a brilliant display, the retreating defense forces were blown up too, only ten out of the 5,000 defenders survived. Veers then said to the snowtrooper “Deploy your soldiers.” Then Veers saw Vader’s shuttle landing. Vader walked off the shuttle and headed into the base. Vader breathed heavily, as the 501st soldiers flanked him. Luna was in the command center, sending out orders when then a commander said “Your majesty, we need to leave soon.” Luna nodded, and said “Get my ship ready.” Then the lights went out. Koo-paah, Koo-paah Vader was nearby; Vader then said “You are strong, but now you must die.” Then the Lights turned back on. Luna then growled “Whose side are you on?” Vader walked through the debris, pushing some things aside. Then soldiers in the back ground screamed “For the Galactic Empire!” Luna heard the soldiers and said “The Galactic Empire, what?” Vader then noticed several Pegasi soldiers running into the room, Vader threw his lightsaber at them, and one soldier fell down. The other one screamed in pain as his legs were removed. Vader turned off his lightsaber and said “Surrender now.” Luna turned around and ran, she ran towards the last transport. Vader then said “You are not going anywhere.” It was too late; Luna was running and got onto the last transport in time. Vader ran behind her and saw the transport leave. Vader then watched as the transport disappeared, Vader turned around and headed towards his shuttle. Celestia sat in her cell on the prison barge, the barge was a ship shaped like a rectangle on its sides, and it had wings, with engines on the back of the barge, and a ramp on the front. The cockpit was near the bow on the top. Celestia stood up in her cell; she looked around and stretched a bit. Then the ship shook and stopped. Celestia’s eyes widened in surprise, she looked around and heard screams as soldiers ran to the ramp area. The prison barge was being attacked by a Solar Empire cruiser. As the cruiser docked onto the barge, it made a loud thud. The barge was going to get boarded. Twilight was on the same barge as Celestia, so was Cadance, and Shining Armor. Twilight looked around; her purple mane was all messed up. Twilight put her head down; the cell floor was all brown from dirt and other things like that. Then Twilight’s cell door exploded. Twilight stood up and said “What in Celestia’s name?” Then several armored Solar Empire soldiers entered. Twilight then said “Guards? Is that a Solar Empire guard?” One of the soldier’s nodded and said “Yes your majesty, we have gotten the others. We are rescuing you.” Twilight got up, and said “Thank you; let’s get off this dreaded ship.” Little did the ponies know about the Prison Barge, was that Boba Fett was tracking it. Then the Slave 1 came out of hyperspace, and flew towards the hangar of the Solar Empire cruiser, making a loud whirring noise as he flew by. When Fett landed he was met, by 50 unicorn guards who were all armed. Boba Fett walked off, and flipped out his gun. Several of the unicorns stepped back, and stared at him emotionless, through their helmets. Boba Fett then said “Step back.” The unicorns started shooting, but then Boba Fett shot 2 of them. The unicorn’s bodies fell to the ground, their helmets were shattered. When then Boba Fett threw a thermal detonator at the crowd of soldiers. The unicorn’s screamed, as the explosion engulfed them. Boba Fett ran into the hall ways. Boba stopped at a door near the barracks; he opened it and threw a thermal detonator into the barracks. Several screaming ponies screamed “GET IT OUT!” Then the explosion engulfed the barracks, the blast door was blown off its hinges. Fett walked by, then sirens went off as the smoke poured out the door. Celestia stood there in the bridge of the Solar Empire battle cruiser, sirens went off Celestia asked a security officer “What is happening?” The officer said “Explosion near starboard hangar, one is near the pilot’s barracks.” Celestia frowned and said “Not this again.” As Boba Fett ran towards several earth pony soldier’s he stopped, and knelt down. The earth ponies still fired, and then one earth pony gasped for air, a saber dart fired from Fett’s knee pad was shot. The other earth pony stared at the dying one, in fear the earth pony continued shooting, when then Boba Fett walked up to the surviving one, and put his E-3 to the pony’s head, and shot and killed the earth pony. Boba Fett walked towards the elevator the earth ponies were protecting. As Fett entered the elevator, he pressed the button to go to the bridge. The elevator started up, creating a small whirring noise as it went towards the bridge. Twilight was in the bridge too, she stood there staring out the window when then a unicorn said “Your majesty, an elevator that is holding the infiltrator is coming up. Permission to use the emergency stop on the elevator?” Twilight turned around and said “Yes stop it.” Boba Fett was standing in the elevator, when the elevator screeched, and stopped. Fett looked around and sat patiently, the elevator did not continue. Boba Fett looked up, and pulled out his E3 rifle and shot the ceiling, there was now a hole in the ceiling. Fett jumped out of the hole, he looked around and saw the bridge at the very top of the shaft, and it wasn't too far away. Boba Fett then turned on his Jetpack and flew up towards the bridge. Once he got there he looked down, and saw nothing but darkness. Boba of course did what a normal bounty hunter would do; break down the door with his trusty blaster. Boba Fett shot a hole clean through the elevator door. Twilight turned around in pure horror, as the elevator door collapsed. Then Boba Fett ran in, Fett kicked down a Pegasi, and shot the Pegasi. Then Fett punched a unicorn in the head, and snapped his neck. Then Fett turned around and shot a guard next to Celestia, who was standing next to Twilight. Fett then ran up to a guard next to Twilight, and kicked the guard in the nose. The guard stumbled back, his nose was bleeding. When then Fett turned around and shot the guard, the guard gasped and fell to the ground, dying because of the wound. The bridge was littered with dying or dead soldiers. Twilight, and Celestia where standing there staring at Boba. Then Fett said “Surrender.” Celestia spat out “Never, you killed my men, you held us hostage for money, and then you took us to an evil man!” Fett sighed and set his gun to stun, Celestia gasped as the stun blast entered her body. Celestia felt all warm as she fell to the ground. Fett then turned around to Twilight and did the same. The purple Alicorn fell to the ground, almost in slow motion and her crown flew across the room. Then Fett turned around and saw, Shining Armor charging up a spell, Fett jumped to the side and ran up and kicked Shining Armor. As Fett ran towards the elevator, he was evading soldiers who were trying to attack him. Boba then dove into the elevator shaft. Fett landed on the elevator below with a thud, and then he found an air conditioning shaft and entered it. As Fett crawled through the shaft’s, he heard sirens going off, then one earth pony said “The princess has be knocked out!” Fett crawled on towards the hangar. As Fett crawled, he looked around and found the hangar. As Boba crawled towards the light he heard voices, Fett looked down and saw 10 Pegasi around the Slave 1. Fett sighed and muttered “These ponies don't take a hint.” Fett then kicked off the air vent, and the Pegasi looked up. As Boba fell down and landed, ponies would shoot at him trying to kill him. The Pegasi surrounded Fett, and then spun around using his flame thrower, burning the Pegasi. As the Pegasi screamed in pain, and fell down burning. Fett then walked onto the Slave 1 and closed the door. Fett walked into the cockpit, and strapped in. As the Slave 1 took off a squad of earth ponies entered, they all set sights on the Slave 1 and shot at it. But then the Slave 1 flew away, and entered hyperspace. Luna’s ship landed on the Jungle world of Dekta. The jungles were loud and deadly and full of flesh eating bugs, flesh eating plants, and poisonous monkeys lived in the jungles. A swarm of mosquitoes could kill a pony in minutes. Luna then said “Alright, have a base nearby. The base is underground, so Galactic Empire can't find it.” Then they started hiking and head towards the base. As they hiked, the monkeys sounded in the background. Pegasi flew over them keeping an eye on things. When then they found the base, the base had a hatch which was the entrance and then it went deeper, and deeper into the ground. There was a throne room, and a bunch of barracks. Deeper in the jungles, a sentinel class shuttle deployed the IC-40 or imperial commandos squad 40. This squad was formerly the Delta Squad. As Boss walked off he said “Squad form up!” Fixer responded “Yes sir.” Then Scorch said “Hey Boss it’s like Kashyyyk, will we see Wookies?” Boss answered Scorch’s question and said “No, we will not.” Then Adviser patched into their comm channel and said “Squad, your mission is to scout out a base for our invasion force. Once you find the base, place down a beacon for the fleet. Then get away, fast because we expect heavy resistance.” Darman, one of the IC-40 member’s walked up and said “Boss sir, I have spotted several hostiles.” Boss nodded and said “Set up a sniper position, this job is supposed to be a blue milk run.” Darman nodded, and ran to a downed tree. When Darman looked into the sight of his DC-17 sniper attachment, he saw 2 Pegasi guards. The Pegasi guards were walking around, there helmet’s where brown with mud, so where was there armor. Darman then pulled the trigger. The laser flew into one of the Pegasi’s head, and that Pegasi fell over, her body was not moving, the Pegasi was dead. The other Pegasi looked shocked and looked around, and then Boss threw a flash bang out, the other Pegasi was blinded. Then Boss jumped down and used the blade on his armor, to kill the Pegasi. The blood was not everywhere, but then Boss smirked beneath his helmet, then he said “Just like the old days.” Then the squad advanced, as they walked through the thick forest. They found what they were looking for, the hatch to the base. Boss then said “Scorch, set up the beacon.” Scorch responded “Yes sir squad leader.” Then Boss turned to Fixer and said “Fixer, set up a defensive perimeter.” Scorch knelt down, and placed the beacon, two minutes later. The beacon was set, and it was flashing. Boss then said “Get ready to move out.” They then got up, and walked towards the landing zone. Then the Sentinel transport landed, and they got onboard. And headed back to the Executor, for there next mission. Vader walked towards the COMM station, when then an officer said “My lord, the beacon has been set off. We are now entering lightspeed.” Vader turned around and said “Get the ground forces ready commander. We will be landing soon.” Vader continued walking towards the COMM station. Celestia was recovering from her encounter with Boba Fett; she then decided to choose which planet she would head to. Celestia stood there and said “Head to the ocean planet of Aquarius.” Several soldiers turned around and said “Yes your majesty.” Then the Solar Empire fleet entered lightspeed, head towards Aquarius. Above Dekta, Vader’s fleet was engaging the New Lunar Republic fleet. As the Executor, fired on a Capital ship which was like a Solar Empire cruiser, the ship exploded. Vader then said “Concentrate all firepower onto that cruiser.” Vader pointed at a Cruiser which was dangerously close to the Executor. Vader, watched as the fire intensified onto the cruiser, when then the cruiser exploded and split in two, destroying several other cruisers which were nearby. Vader stared at the wreckage he just caused, Vader then said “Get the ground invasion ready.” > The Dark Lords Meet > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dark Lords Meet As the Stormtroopers advanced through the jungle of Dekta they were being shot at. The battle raged on, Stormtrooper’s would kick ponies to the ground and shoot at them. Scout speeders would speed by, shooting at ponies, and sometimes running them over. Then Turbo Tanks rolled through, running over trees and destroying everything in sight. Stormtroopers were crouching behind fallen trees and shooting at a bunker ahead. The trees around them were burning, from the bombs that exploded. Then one Stormtrooper knelt down and gunned downed several Pegasi. Then the fire engulfed the bodies of the Pegasi. A foul stench of burning bodies filled the air. The air was filled with blood shed, and smoke. Then Scout Troopers on speeders flew by shooting at a bunker that was ahead. As the explosions echoed through the valley that the fighting was taking place in, a Lambda shuttle landed in the battle. Then Darth Vader, walked off the shuttle. He looked at the dying soldiers around him, and the dying ponies and walked onwards. As Vader walked towards the battle, he looked up at a NLR Z-95 that was on a crash course towards him. Vader used the force to prevent it from falling on him; Vader stared at it, and then hurled it towards a NLR bunker. The bunker exploded killing all ponies in it. Darth Vader walked towards a trench full of ponies. Several earth ponies shot at Vader, but then Vader jumped up and slammed into the ground, creating a shock wave killing several ponies. Then a unicorn snuck up on Vader, but Vader turned around and sliced the unicorn’s head off. Vader watched as the unicorn collapsed. Vader walked towards a Pegasi soldier, and choked the soldier. Vader then said “Where is the princess?” The Pegasi gasped “I don't know.” Vader turned on his saber, and impaled the soldier. Vader walked towards the NLR base entrance. The battle was bloody, the forests were burning. Stormtrooper’s where over running NLR defenses. TIE fighters and Interceptors would dogfight against Z-95s. The smoke caused some ponies to faint because of lack of air. Then an orbital bombardment would rain down, causing explosions to rock the area. Vader walked towards the NLR base’s entrance, and then he force pushed the trap door away. Several Pegasi guards were there, when Vader entered he sliced the guards down. Then he threw a barrel at an earth pony guard. The guard fell down as the barrel snapped his neck. The guard’s eyes opened in great pain, as he slid down the wall and died. Vader walked down the halls, with no remorse. As the base shook, Vader force shoved a Unicorn guard into the ground. The unicorn screamed in pain, as Vader stomped on his horn. The unicorn got up, and tried to shoot. Vader instead impaled the unicorn, the unicorn’s eyes widened in pure pain. Vader then turned around and saw two oncoming earth pony soldiers. Vader threw his lightsaber at the two ponies; both were sliced in two and died. Vader turned around a Pegasi soldier was shooting at him, Vader deflected the lasers. As Vader walked up to a Pegasi he used the force to bring the Pegasus to him, as the Pegasus went flying towards Vader, Vader turned on his lightsaber and impaled him. The Pegasus whimpered his last words “Long live Luna…” Vader then ripped his lightsaber out of the Pegasus, who went limp and fell to the ground. Vader walked towards the command center. As he walked the base shook, and ponies screamed frantically trying to get to cover. Vader then walked through the door and saw several officers staring at him. Vader used the force to lock the doors; the officers looked around in pure horror as the last door closed. Vader raised his lightsaber, and sliced them apart. The base shook, as the officers were being slaughtered. Vader then walked towards a unicorn commander, and then he sliced the commander down. Vader turned around and sliced another officer down. Vader walked towards a wounded unicorn, and struck her down. Vader turned around and force pushed a Pegasi commander into the wall, then Vader sliced down an earth pony commander. Then a unicorn commander tried to shoot at Vader, but Vader choked the commander and killed him. Vader then impaled a unicorn commander; she died as the lightsaber went through her heart. Vader threw the body onto the ground, Vader then turned around to another one was an earth pony she begged for mercy. “Please spare me! Please!” Begged the earth pony, Vader walked towards her and raised his lightsaber, the earth pony’s eyes widened in terror as she screamed “NO! I HAVE A FAMILY! PLEASE YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS!” Vader struck her down, and turned around and sliced a Pegasi soldier’s head off. The soldier screamed in terror. Vader then turned around and saw an earth pony general running towards him; Vader threw his lightsaber at the general. The general fell down, and hit the ground dead. Vader killed the last one, Vader stared at the bodies. The NLR top generals were dead, another devastating blow for the already weakened Republic. Vader killed them all like cattle, no mercy and no remorse. Vader walked out the command room. He felt the ground shake. Vader headed out of the base and exited. On the surface the battle was still raging. TIE bombers blew up bunkers, as Stormtrooper’s charged across and shot down Ponies. In some cases, the Stormtrooper’s would knock down the ponies, and shoot them on the ground. As the battle raged, Luna the leader of the NLR was watching, everything she worked for from the beginning was falling apart. Tears formed in Luna’s eyes as the fire raged in the forest. Luna shook her head and said “No, no!” A TIE fighter flew by, and then a TIE Interceptor shot at the bunker above her, Luna saw several star Destoryers flying towards her bunker. Then a star destroyer shot at the bunker, causing her bunker to shake, AT-AT’s walked towards her bunker. Fires burned in the background, Stormtrooper’s started marching up the hill towards her. Luna then said through her tears “Everypony get ready to go into hiding. I’m afraid, we, we have lost.” Several soldiers behind her trotted away crying, they had lost a major battle. Luna walked sadly towards her shuttle. As Luna took off Vader entered her bunker and saw the Galactic Empire’s invasion force destroying all of the NLR forces. Vader stepped out onto a balcony; the smoke was thick in the air, it blocked out the sun creating a darkness that shrouded the battle field. All the NLR survivors looked up at the balcony and saw Vader; they dropped their heads and cried. The war was hard on them. All the animals in the jungle stopped making noise, they looked up and saw Vader standing there breathing and overlooking everything. Vader turned around and entered the bunker, his dark cloak followed after him. Luna’s shuttle entered lightspeed, to meet up with the rest to of the New Lunar Empire Fleet, which was in the middle of an asteroid field. The fleet was all docked onto asteroids. Getting ready to defend Luna, from whatever came there way. Luna sadly landed the shuttle; her defeat had a major impact on her. Most of her high ranking generals were slaughtered. And most of Luna’s morale was gone; she was a rebel without a cause. They were doomed to be defeated by the Empire. On Dekta the battle was calming down. Prisoners were taken and executed in public, as a sign of what happens if you rebel against the Galactic Empire. Vader also ordered a base to be built, as a sign of the new rule here. In the far north of Equestria, a new enemy has come. Sombra returned he walked through the ruins of the Crystal Empire; the Empire was sacked by the Galactic Empire. Sombra stared at the ruins, and then he saw several stormtroopers walking towards him. “Halt!” Said one Stormtrooper, Sombra responded “Move.” Several Stormtroopers lifted their guns, and said “Halt!” Sombra shot them down with dark magic, one Stormtrooper was thrown against the wall, his back snapped as he hit the wall. Another one screamed as he was dissolved. And the last one fell down dead. Sombra then stared at the dead Stormtroopers and walked onwards to the ruined crystal castle. Sombra then walked towards the castle, behind him marched shadow soldiers. They were mists of darkness wearing armor, and then the soldiers took forms of stallions. Dark stallions, they took over the Crystal Empire later that day. Vader walked through the hallways of the Executor, which was now in orbit of Equestria. Then Commander Tiro walked up to Vader and said “My lord, we have lost contact with the Crystal Empire soldiers.” Vader turned around and said “Commander, don’t fail me again. If we lose a grip on this planet we will lose everything.” Vader then said “Deploy some shadow troopers, I want the rebel alive.” Sombra walked, along the balcony of the Crystal Castle, when then a laser flew by Sombra’s ear. Sombra turned around and saw nothing, and then he felt someone's arms around his neck bringing him to the ground. One Shadow trooper turned off his cloaking device, and kicked Sombra. Sombra stood up and screamed “ENOUGH!” Sombra’s horn charged up and killed that one Shadow Trooper, more Shadow Trooper’s shot at him. But then Sombra levitated and roared “ENOUGH OF THIS!” Sombra shot out dark magic at the Shadow Troopers, the cloaking devices of all the Shadow Trooper’s dropped. Then the Shadow Trooper’s started to being electrified, as the dark magic surged through them. Then a vein burst, blood went down the armor. The shadow trooper screamed in pain, as he fell to the ground, trying to figure out where he was bleeding. One fell down, dead as the blood stained his armor. Then the other’s died too. Sombra stood there breathing. Vader sat there in his meditation chamber when then Commander Tiro entered and said “My lord, the shadow trooper’s failed. I am sorry.” Tiro then made choking noises as Vader said “You have failed me for the last time commander.” Tiro continued gagging when then, he dropped down dead. Vader then gestured to soldiers to take away his body. Vader then said “Get my shuttle ready, I am heading to the Crystal Empire.” Vader walked out to his shuttle, and boarded it. Vader then flew to the Crystal Empire. Vader got off the shuttle to be greeted by several shadow guards. Vader turned on his lightsaber sliced them down. Vader turned around and saw a shadow Pegasi flying towards him, Vader threw his lightsaber at the Pegasi, and the Pegasi was sliced in two. Vader walked towards the Crystal Castle, and saw several Shadow Unicorns in front of him. Vader forced pushed them into the wall, a loud crack was heard as their necks were broken. Vader then turned around and saw a Shadow Earth Pony charging at him, Vader choked the pony and brought him into his lightsaber. Vader walked towards the Crystal Castle undisturbed. Sombra was walking into his new throne room, when then a Shadow Soldier ran towards him and said “My lord! Something has com-!” The soldier was cut off, he was gagging then the stallion was lifted up into the air. The soldier died of choking. Koo-paah, Koo-paah Sombra turned around and growled “Who goes there?” Vader turned on his lightsaber, and walked towards Sombra. Sombra stepped back, for once he was scared. Sombra charged up a killing dark magic spell. As the spell flew towards Vader, Vader simply lifted his lightsaber and deflected it. Vader then said “You are strong, but now you must meet your destiny.” Vader then threw Sombra against the ceiling, Sombra winced in pain. Vader then threw Sombra back down with the force, Sombra screamed as the pain over ran him. Vader then threw Sombra into a bookshelf, Vader stared at Sombra Emotionlessly. Vader force pushed Sombra into a wall, Sombra then charged up a Dark Magic spell, and tried to hit Vader with it. Vader deflected the spell with his lightsaber, and force pushed Sombra against a window. Sombra shattered the glass on impact; Sombra’s back was covered in cuts. Vader walked up to the window and looked out it. Vader then stared at Sombra, who got up and ran away. Vader then said “All too easy.” As Vader said that, he levitated a box and threw it at Sombra. Vader watched as a box hit Sombra in the head. Sombra trotted away even faster now. Vader watched as Sombra trotted away even farther north. Vader stood there and for the first time, he sensed how strong Twilight Sparkles was in the force. Vader had to capture Twilight, and turn her to the Dark Side of the Force. In the Everfree Forest, a robed person opened his eyes. Dahn Codia, a surviving Jedi Knight. Dahn sensed Vader’s presence and Twilights. Dahn said “I must protect Twilight from Vader.” Dahn got up, and walked away heading towards a space port. > Terror Aboard the Solar Ray's > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terror Aboard the Solar Ray’s Sombra walked through the howling wind, the snow stung his fur as it hit him. Sombra squinted his eyes to see. It was a white out, he could see nothing. Sombra growled and thought “I need some pony powerful, somepony more powerful than Celestia and Luna combined. I need Twilight Sparkles.” Sombra walked towards the north, he went farther and farther. Sombra then found the spot, an old Shadow Fortress. Sombra walked into the fortress, the Fortress looked like the Crystal Castle but darker, and it had a wall of jagged dark crystals surrounding it. To some it looked like a top secret base, and a no trespassing area. But to Sombra it was home. Sombra entered, and walked along the dark hallways. Sombra had a new enemy. An enemy to Sombra’s Shadow Imperium, Sombra was defeated by this enemy once and now he had this enemy following him. Aboard the Executor, Vader was meeting with Boba Fett. Boba told Vader “I’ll need a squadron of stormtroopers; they won't be making it back.” Vader turned around and said “I will provide you with Terror troopers, and Terror Equipment, the troopers you used to bring Juno Eclipse to me. Bring Twilight to me, I want her alive.” Boba nodded and said “Thank you my lord.” Celestia was walking through the hallways of the Solar Rays, her capital ship that was orbiting the planet of Aquarias. As Celestia walked she thought of Twilight, then a general Pegasi walked up to her and said “Your majesty, a ship has landed. It is carrying a human who claims he isn't in the Galactic Empire.” Celestia walked out to the ship it was in the hangar, Celestia saw the ship it was an ETA-2, and the ETA-2 was a jet black color. Celestia then asked “Who owns this ship?” Celestia stared at the ship, when then “I do.” Echoed as Dahn Codia answered Celestia’s question. Dahn removed his hood and politely bowed before Celestia. Celestia stared at Dahn and said “Who are you?” Dahn Codia, stood up and said “I am Dahn Codia, Jedi Master. I am on the run from Vader, like you.” Dahn Codia then said “I think, there is a pony you have. I wish to talk to her.” Celestia said “Who is that?” Dahn Codia then said “Twilight Sparkles.” Celestia looked suspiciously at Dahn, and said “Ok.” The Slave 1 flew from hyperspace it flew towards the Solar Rays. Boba Fett was in the cockpit, but this time, he got permission from Vader to use Terror Troopers. As the Slave 1 landed, unicorn soldiers gathered around the ship. When then, the Solar Ray’s shook. The unicorn soldier’s fell to the ground. It was hit by a torpedo, of some kind. In the engine room, screams of pain where in the air. Terror droids scurried around, latching onto ponies heads. As unicorns were attacked, the terror spider droids latched onto the heads, and killed them. As the engine room was overrun, it became silent. The engineer’s were dead, there was blood on the floor as the terror spider droids scurried away. Twilight Sparkles was in her room, she was thinking about how dark these days where. Then Twilight heard screaming but the screams were cut off. Then Twilight’s lights flickered and went out. Twilight walked out, the corridors where dark. Dead ponies scattered around, and the lights flickered. Twilight was scared, fear was in her heart. Twilight heard something behind her; she turned around and saw nothing. Twilight trotted down the hallways. Twilight stopped at a window, and saw one star ship flying away; it looked like Celestia’s. Twilight watched in horror, she was left behind. Twilight then said “Hello?” No response, then she heard a bloody murder scream. Twilight walked down the hallways, she heard something behind her again. Twilight turned around and still saw nothing. Twilight then heard the scraping of claws on walls. Twilight looked around in fear. Then Twilight heard the scraping of glass, Twilight felt her heart beating faster and faster. She wasn't alone. Twilight carefully walked down the halls, she was trying not to step on bodies. Twilight looked around and saw wire’s hanging, Twilight then said “Who in Celestia’s name could cause this much damage.” Twilight heard something behind her; she turned around and saw nothing. Twilight sensed something was there, but she couldn't figure out what was there. Twilight came across a body of a guard, the guard was impaled, and blood was coming out his mouth. Twilight gasped in disgust, and nearly vomited at the sight. Twilight walked in fear, she has never been this scared in her life. As Twilight walked the ghostly halls, she heard screams as ponies were killed by this mysterious killer. Then Twilight entered an area of low lying smoke, as Twilight walked through the low lying smoke. Twilight turned around, and saw nothing. Twilight’s eyes widened in fear, the smoke made it eerie. Then she heard the snapping of some ponies, back as a pony died. Then a Terror Trooper sprinted at Twilight, Twilight charged up a spell and shot at the Terror Trooper. The Terror Trooper died, on impact of the spell. Twilight walked down the hallways, she was alone. Twilight was scared, she was shaking. She killed a man, she didn’t mean too. Twilight then thought “Celestia, please forgive me.” But then Twilight felt claws, on her fur. Twilight turned around, and saw a Terror Trooper that was staring at her. Then the trooper stunned Twilight. Twilight fell to the ground unconscious; the smoke covered her body as the Terror Trooper’s took her away. Dahn Codia walked down the hallways, Dahn heard screams of pain. Then Dahn saw a Terror Trooper sprinting at him. Dahn’s lightsaber turned on, the blue blade emerged. Then Dahn struck down the Terror Trooper in self-defense. Dahn walked down the hallways, still no sign of Twilight. As Boba Fett walked onto the Slave 1, he looked at Twilight Sparkles. Then he looked at the dead ponies which surrounded him. Fett looked up, and saw Dahn in the control room window staring at him. Fett then smirked under his helmet and dragged Twilight into the Slave 1. Dahn watched as the Slave 1 took off. As the Slave 1 flew away it made a whirring noise, it then entered hyperspace. Leaving only the ETA-2 in the hangar. Then Dahn heard scratching at the door behind him. Dahn looked at the door, he cocked his eyebrow. Dahn then opened the door, and then turned on his lightsaber. Smoke filled the room. Then Terror Trooper’s swarmed in, Dahn sliced them down. The Terror Trooper’s fell down dead. Dahn force pushed one into the window killing the Terror Trooper instantly. As Dahn walked into a cargo hold, the doors closed then a Terror Bio droid entered, Dahn looked at it and backed off. Then the Bio Droid unleashed its barrage of force electricity, taking Dahn off guard. Dahn stood up and attacked it, Dahn then noticed his advantage; a box hanging over the Bio Droid. But then the Bio Droid shot out lasers and nearly killed Dahn, when then the box over the Bio Droid fell, Dahn stood up and ran towards the hangar. When Dahn entered the hangar a new thing was there, a Terror Walker. Dahn gasped and backed up and ran towards his starfighter. When Dahn entered his ETA-2 he took off, and hovered and aimed at the walker. The Walker then shot off missiles, forcing Dahn to take evasive actions by flying out the hangar. When Dahn flew out the hangar he flew back in, at full speed firing his volley of missiles. The Terror Walker was hit, as the Walker stumbled. Dahn shot it with a few lasers. The Terror Walker then exploded, shaking the ship and also exploding several fuel tanks. Dahn knew he had to fly out. As Dahn flew out he said “R2, get ready for the jump to lightspeed.” R2 beeped happily as they flew towards the hyperdrive ring, behind them the Solar Rays exploded, bursting into flames destroying everyone one board. The Slave 1 flew towards the Executor. As the Slave 1 landed, Fett forced Twilight off. Vader stood there and looked at Twilight. Twilight looked up at Vader, and said “I hate you.” Vader then walked next to Twilight and said “I look forward to your training as my apprentice.” Twilight growled at Vader “Never, I will never be your apprentice.” Vader escorted Twilight towards her new prison cell. Dahn’s ETA-2 flew out of hyperspace, following after the Slave 1. As the ETA-2 landed in the hangar, Dahn noticed he was being surrounded by stormtroopers. Dahn then said “R2, take off and land on Equestria.” R2 beeped happily, as Dahn got out. When Dahn got out his ETA-2 took off. Dahn turned on his lightsaber, Dahn was shot at. Instead the shooter a stormtrooper was killed, as the lightsaber impaled the Stormtrooper. The Stormtrooper died, as Dahn then threw another Stormtrooper into the door. As Dahn stood there, he used the force to throw several Stormtrooper’s into the air and throw them down. A loud disgusting crack echoed in the hangar, the backs of the Stormtrooper’s snapped. One died the other one was trying to get up, he couldn’t. Dahn walked through the doors, as he walked down the hallways he was approached by several officers. One officer pulled out a gun and shot at Dahn, Dahn responded with cutting down the officer. The other officer ran away. Dahn walked down the hallways and then he saw a squad of Stormtroopers, the Stormtroopers looked at him and then one screamed “INTRUDER!” Dahn ran towards them, as he sliced them down he jumped up and threw one into a closing blast door. As the fighting went on, Dahn jumped up and slammed into the ground his hood was still on. The Stormtrooper’s bodies scattered the hallway. Dahn then looked up, and walked down the hallway. As he walked he noticed he was nearing the Prison bay. As Dahn entered, he looked around and walked towards the cell control panel. He then unlocked Twilight’s cell. Twilight looked up, and saw that her cell door was unlocked. When then the door opened up, and Dahn entered. Twilight got up and said “Who are you?” Dahn then removed his hood revealing his blue eyes, and his graying hair. Dahn then said “Dahn Codia, Jedi Master. I am here to rescue you.” Twilight got up and said “Let’s go.” Dahn then said “Follow me.” Twilight and Dahn ran towards the shuttle bay, they were undisturbed. When then Darth Vader slammed down in front of them in the Shuttle Bay. Vader turned on his lightsaber and said “You are not leaving with Twilight Sparkles.” Dahn then turned on his lightsaber. Dahn then said “I will leave with her; she will not go with you Dark Lord.” Vader then tried to cut of Dahn’s legs, when then Dahn utilized Sai and jumped just in time. Vader then dueled Dahn. As they dueled Twilight snuck onto the Imperial shuttle behind the two. As Twilight boarded she entered the cockpit, and got ready for takeoff. As the shuttle started to hover Dahn turned around and jumped onto the ramp. As Twilight took off, Dahn jumped onto the ramp and said “We will be landing in Equestria. We will be safe there.” As the Lambda Shuttle entered lightspeed, Vader watched from the hangar, he lost a potential apprentice. Vader then turned around and headed back to the Bridge. Sombra sat there in his battle armor, in the Shadow Fortress. As he sat there he thought “I need a starfleet.” Sombra looked out and saw an old crashed Sith Cruiser, Sombra smirked. Sombra had a new star ship to copy and build. Sombra stood there watching the new Shadow Cruisers take off, the cruisers were based off the Sith Cruisers. Then Sombra was told his ship was ready to be boarded. Sombra walked out, to the Cruiser and took off. Sombra was going to engage the Galactic Empire. As the Shadow Cruiser’s flew towards the Imperial Fleet. Vader was notified by Captain Piett. Vader stood there as Piett said “My lord, several Cruisers are coming close to our ships. Permission to engage?” Vader turned around and said “Fire at will commander.” The Executor’s Turbolasers aimed at the Cruisers. The Turbolasers were lined up, they were massive. Vader then gave the order “Fire.” As the Turbolasers unleashed a relentless barrage, the Cruiser’s shook with the explosion’s damaging the shields. When then one cruiser exploded, and split in two and smashed into another ship. The other cruiser started sucking ponies out into space killing them all. As the cruiser exploded, it collapsed and was destroyed Sombra watched and growled, as Sombra growled he said “Get ready for the jump to lightspeed, head to the asteroid field near Dekta.” Sombra glared at the Executor as one of its Turbolasers nailed the area above the bridge. Sombra waited impatiently as the ship shook, and then they were in hyperspace. Vader turned around and said “Do you have their coordinates?” One officer looked up and said “Yes my lord.” Vader then said “Follow them to their coordinate. Deploy the fleet, commander.” The officer looked up at Vader and said “Yes my lord.” Then the fleet entered light speed. > The Rise of the Equestrian Alliance > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Rise of the Equestrian Alliance Vader’s fleet flew out of hyperspace, as they approached the Asteroid field. Vader said “I sense the NLR.” Then an officer shouted “Look sir! NLR cruisers!” Vader then said “Open fire on them, I want their flag ship to survive.” Then the Imperial Starfleet bombarded the Cruisers. Destroying the entire NLR fleet all but one ship remained. When then Vader said “Halt.” The Star Fleet held fire; all but one ship was left. When then Vader said “Prepare to board there ship.” As the Imperial shuttle took off, it flew towards the crippled NLR ship. When then they landed. Vader walked off the ramp. Vader turned on his lightsaber and sliced down several unicorns that approached him. As Vader walked through the ship, he sliced down any resistance. When then he entered the security room. Vader looked into the security recordings when then he heard something humming. Vader turned around and lifted his lightsaber as a Electrostaff flew towards him. Vader dueled the saber and didn't know who was levitating it. When then a unicorn walked in smirking. Vader lifted his saber and dueled with the unicorn. Luna was in the hangar running towards her shuttle. Her ship shook. She was going to surrender to the Solar Empire. As Luna took off, she flew away in her shuttle. TIE fighters chased after her shuttle, shooting at her. Vader continued dueling he fought; he then was kicked into the bridge. As he dueled he sliced down, several unicorn guards around him. Vader then threw his lightsaber at the pilot of the ship, the pilot died as the saber hit him. Stormtrooper’s ran through the ship’s barracks, they gunned down anypony left. The barracks then burst into flames as the explosions tore through the area. The ship shook, as bodies flew around. Several Stormtrooper’s ran towards a unicorn general, and pinned him to the ground. They then brutally kicked the general, and then they shot him. As the ship was being taken over. Luna flew towards Equestria, when she landed she got off several Solar Empire soldiers surround her. Then Celestia landed in front of her sister and said “What do you want?” Luna said sadly “I'm here, to surrender.” Celestia then said “Guards, take her to a cell.” Vader dueled the unicorn; the electrostaff whirred as it spun around. Vader’s saber hit the staff, as he tried to force the unicorn back. The unicorn sliced at Vader’s saber causing sparks to fly everywhere. Vader then kicked the unicorn. As the unicorn slid back, his armor was scratched now. Vader then jumped up and did a force slam. The unicorn got out of the way in time. As they dueled, the NLR was falling, and would fall after this duel. Luna entered her cell; a few minutes later she sat down as her Sister entered. Luna looked up and said “I'm sorry.” Celestia walked to her sister and said “It’s ok; I've seen the errors of my way.” Luna then looked up sadly and said “What are you going to do with me now?” Celestia said “Meet me in the command center, we have much to discuss.” Luna nodded and said “Yes sister.” Vader dueled the unicorn; there was no end in sight. Vader threw the unicorn commander into the glass window. The unicorn got back up and went back to dueling. As they fought the Imperial fleet moved closer and closer, Vader then threw a chair at the unicorn commander. The Unicorn’s white armor withstood the impact. The Unicorn stood up; he levitated the electrostaff and sliced at Vader’s saber. The spark's flew everywhere, as Vader attempted to overpower the unicorn. In the Solar Empire’s secret HQ, on Equestria. Celestia and Luna were talking; Twilight was in the background training with Dahn about the force. Celestia then said “Sister, we need to get fighting done. We need to put down our differences.” Luna looked around and said “Yes we need too, we need to go back to our old ways of peace. We need to be united.” Luna then turned around, to an old dusty table. Celestia joined her, so did Twilight and Dahn. Luna then said proudly “Are you ready to finish this?” Celestia looked up and said “Yes.” Luna then wiped some dust of the table; it was the old Equestrian Symbol. Luna then said “At last the Equestrian Alliance has been formed. We will now live in peace, with each other.” Celestia looked at the table, Dahn looked on and so did Twilight. Vader finally overpowered the unicorn; they were dueling front of the massive glass window, which was on the bridge when then. Vader then impaled the unicorn. The unicorn looked up sadly, as his electro staff fell. Vader then said “You were deceived. And now you're Republic shall fall.” Vader ripped out his saber. The unicorn collapsed in front of the Star Destroyer’s that were flying towards him. Several TIE fighters flew by shooting at the ship, the unicorn died after seeing the scene. Vader flew away towards the Executor. When he landed, he said “Go back to Equestria, I sense something is there.” The Starfleet turned around and entered lightspeed, and flew away from the remains of the NLR. Luna was walking around. She sent transmissions out to any remaining NLR forces, that said to fight alongside the Solar Empire. Celestia was happy she could be reunited with her sister. But they had planning to do. Celestia looked at the NLR fighter’s that Luna brought in. Celestia then said “They'll be good.” The newly modified Z-95’s were given proton torpedoes, and best of all: stronger lasers. Luna looked at them, and said “Well, what’s the plan?” Celestia said “My idea is that we get fighter’s to fly low to the hull of Vader’s star ship. And then the fighter’s shoot and destroy the shields, and then we attack.” Luna nodded, and said “I like the idea.” In the Equestrian Alliance base, they have a hangar. The hangar is enough to sustain several fighter squadrons. Well this time, it sustained five squadrons. Not several, so the pilots had to be extra careful when taking off. As they took, off they flew towards the sky. Celestia and Luna sat in the base. Above Equestria the squad leader said “All Blue's check in.” Then all the Blues checked in. As they flew towards the Executor the leader said “This is it gentlecolts.” Then TIE fighter’s started flying towards them. This was a death trap. TIE fighter's flew towards them. In the noise was deafening, as hundreds of TIE Fighters and interceptors attacked. As they fought Lord Vader was notified. A flight officer said “My lord, there ships are in too many numbers our fighters.” Vader then said “Get my fighter ready.” The flight officer nodded and said "Yes my lord." Vader’s TIE Advance flew out the hangar. Vader then said “Shadow Squadron form up.” A TIE interceptor pilot responded “Copy that Shadow leader.” As they flew after a Z-95, Vader said “I have this one.” Then Vader fired, the Z-95 exploded, and flew into another Z-95. With two down, Vader said “Cover me.” The TIE interceptor’s next to Vader formed up, and shot down another Z-95. Luna sat in the command room, as she heard the screams of Blue Squadron being shot down. Celestia stared at the player, and said “Blue Squadron, get out of there. Fall back.” Then one voice called out “Copy that.” Celestia said “We have lost a battle.” As the lone blue squadron survivor returned, Celestia said to the lone survivor “You fought bravely.” The survivor said obviously shaken “There were so many of them. I could have saved him! I could've saved him!” Vader landed his TIE Advanced and said “There base is on Equestria. that mean’s one thing Twilight Sparkles is there too.” Vader contacted Fett and said “Bring me Twilight Sparkles, alive. I will loan you Shadow Stormtroopers.” Boba Fett responded “It’s a deal.” The Slave 1 landed outside the Equestrian Alliance base. As Fett walked off, he walked towards the hangar, several unicorn soldiers surrounded him. Then several of the soldier’s dropped dead, Fett looked up and saw a Shadow Stormtrooper. Fett then turned around and kicked an earth pony in the head, and smashed his helmet. Boba raised a holo projector and said “Bring me this pony alive.” The Shadow Stormtrooper nodded and said “Yes sir.” The Shadow Stormtrooper’s moved out. In the hallways, several ponies screamed in horror as Shadow Stormtrooper’s tore through. One pony was beaten to death with the butt of the gun. As the area was secured they found the right room. Twilight was sitting on her bed, when then a knocking noise was heard. She opened the door, and then Shadow Stormtrooper’s burst in. Twilight stood up, it was too late a stun blast hit her. Twilight fell to the ground, as the Shadow Stormtrooper’s carried her to the Slave 1. Boba Fett said to himself “This pony isn't getting away again.” As The Slave 1 took off, the Shadow Stormtrooper’s dispersed and headed back to HQ. Fett flew towards the Executor, preparing to cash in on his prize. As Fett landed on the Executor, he showed Vader the prisoner. Vader said “Very good.” Vader then said “Guards, take her to the prison cell.” The Stormtroopers picked Twilight up and dragged her to her cell. Vader paid Fett for his work. Vader stood there as Twilight was being taken into her cell. Vader watched and said “Double the security; make sure no ships can get on this ship.” Vade watched as Twilight went into her cell. The Command room was a disaster. Shining Armor was walking around, he then called out “Twilight?” No response, then a soldier said “Sir, Twilight Sparkles has been captured.” Shining Armor screamed in disbelief “WHAT!?!” The soldier nodded and said “Yes sir, we have video that shows her being taken to the Slave 1.” Shining Armor then saw Dahn walking in. Shining Armor then said “Twilight’s been captured.” Dahn looked surprised and said “Who took her?” Shining Armor responded “Boba Fett took Twilight to Vader.” Shining Armor gasped and said “That’s not possible.” As Sombra walked through the halls of his ship, he thought “Twilight Sparkles, the future Dark Magic user.” Then a general walked up to Sombra and said “Sir, Twilight Sparkles has been captured by the Galactic Empire.” Sombra turned around and said “What?” The general continued “Sir, she’s being held by the Galactic Empire.” Sombra sighed and said “Get ready to free her.” Sombra turned around and headed towards his bedroom. Twilight was sleeping when then her dream’s when then Sombra appeared. Twilight was now in complete darkness, when then an evil deep laughter emerged. Twilight said “Hello? Who’s there?” Then Sombra emerged Twilight stepped back in fear, and said “What, do you want.” Sombra said “You too be my apprentice.” Twilight looked at Sombra in disgust and said “I would prefer Vader over you.” Sombra sighed and said “Twilight, the Dark Magic’s are the only way we can bring balance to the galaxy!” Sombra roared at Twilight “WE CAN END THIS POINTLESS WAR! AND RULE TOGETHER!” Twilight stepped back, Sombra had a small point. Twilight backed up and said “Never. I'll never join the Dark Magic’s.” Sombra lifted his hoof up and said “If you only knew the powers of the Dark Magic’s.” Sombra then disappeared from Twilight's dream. Twilight woke up, she was in her cell. It was cold. Twilight cried a bit and lied down on her bed; her front legs covered her eyes. She was alone, she was scared of Vader. Twilight thought she wasn't going to live through this. Celestia walked through the hallways of the Equestrian Alliance HQ. Celestia then said to an adviser who was following her “Go to Luna and tell her we need a plan.” The adviser nodded and said “Yes ma'am.” The adviser trotted towards the command center. Celestia looked at them, and sighed. Celestia walked into a room, and sat down. Shining Armor was sitting in the room; he then said “Will I ever see Twi again?” Celestia thought, and said “We are trying our best Shining Armor.” Luna then entered the room and said “What are we doing?” Celestia answered Luna “We are planning to save Twilight.” Luna nodded and said “Ok.” They then started planning the rescue of Twilight Sparkles. Twilight woke up, as several guards entered her cell. One guard said “Lord Vader wants to see you.” Twilight groaned “Go away.” The guards smacked her in her stomach with a force pike. Twilight screamed in pain. Twilight used her magic to snap the pikes. The guards gasped, and stepped back. Twilight screamed out “I HATE YOU!” Then unwittingly using the force, Twilight threw the guards into the walls. Twilight walked by a mirror and looked into it. Her irises were yellow. Twilight gasped at the sight. > The Dark Lord’s Apprentice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Dark Lord’s Apprentice Twilight stood there staring at her yellow irises, a tear went down her cheeks. Twilight then said “What have I become? What have I done?” Twilight looked at the bodies of guard’s and gasped, she jumped back and said “No, please don’t be dead. You were unarmed! Please!” Twilight ran up to one of the guards, and put her ear on his chest. There was no heartbeat; Twilight then said “No, no please!” Twilight went over to the other one. There was a heartbeat; Twilight listened as the heart beat faded away. Twilight shook the guard’s body and said “Come on wake up, please!” Twilight felt through the force the life leaving the Guard’s body. Twilight pressed her face against the guard’s chest and cried. Twilight stood up, she gasped and turned around Vader was standing there. Twilight stepped back in fear, her iris's stayed yellow. Twilight then said “Vader, please. I didn't mean too.” Vader looked emotionlessly at the guard’s bodies. Vader turned to Twilight and said “Very good, your journey into the dark side has begun.” Twilight then said in horror “No, I’m never going to the dark side.” Twilight smirked confidentially while Vader looked at the bodies, and said “Dahn, would never forgive you for your little accident, you killed two guards in you hate and anger.” Twilight then said “No, he would!” Vader continued and lied “He would not forgive you, neither would Celestia or your brother. To them you are a monster.” Twilight gasped and said “No, it’s not true. It’s not possible!” Twilight stood there, crying and then Vader turned to her and said “However there is one solution.” Twilight looked up and said in desperation “What?” Vader told Twilight the solution “Join me, and I can complete your training. And destroy the ones who are oppressing you.” Twilight gasped and thought about it. She had no other way, she was trapped. Twilight made up her mind. Twilight then bowed down before Vader and promptly said “What is thy bidding, my master?” Vader looked at his new apprentice and said “Rise.” Twilight rose, and followed Vader. As they walked Vader said “Go to the moon of Vanat. There you will find the NLR congress. Wipe them out. I want them all dead, no survivors, once you are finished we will deal with the new Equestrian Alliance. Twilight you understand?” Twilight answered Vader and said “Yes my Master.” Vader then said “Go my apprentice.” Twilight walked to a shuttle with Vader. Vader then stopped her and gave her Obi Wan Kenobi’s old lightsaber. Twilight looked at it, and clipped it to a belt she made back on Equestria. Twilight bowed before Vader and headed towards the Lambda shuttle. There she took off and flew to the moon of Vanat. Vader watched and breathed heavily and thought “The dominoes are falling now.” Dahn stood there in the meeting room, he then collapsed Celestia and Luna ran to his side. Celestia then asked “Dahn, are you ok?” Dahn weakly stood up, and said “Twilight, all I can sense is darkness. I can't sense Twilight anymore.” Celestia then asked “What does that mean?” Dahn said “It means many things; she could be with Vader now. She could have killed Vader in her rage. Or worst, she could have replaced Vader.” Shining Armor heard this and said “What?” Dahn then said “You heard me; she could be now with Vader.” Shining Armor broke down into tears. Cadance who was in the room, knelt down and tried to comfort the crying Shining Armor. It was no use, to try and comfort him. Cadance then said “Shining Armor, Twilight will be fine. Believe me.” Shining Armor, cried harder over his sister. Cadance put her wing around Shining Armor and kissed him. Shining Armor smiled a bit. Shining Armor started to get it together; he had a grip on reality. Shining Armor then weakly said “What’s next?” Celestia then said “We need to liberate Twilight from Vader’s grip.” Dahn thought quietly and then interjected “How about we figure out if she really is with Vader. We have to be sure.” Celestia nodded and said “How about this, we scout her out. Then we try and bring her back.” Luna thought quietly and said “How about we gather leads. And then search for her. Then it would be safer and wouldn't risk us a loss of life.” Celestia then nodded and said “We must keep an eye out for any issues.” As Twilight’s shuttle landed on the volcanic moon that orbited Vanat, a hooded pony walked off. The pony turned around and saw the shuttle take off. Twilight walked towards a compound and opened the gates. Twilight shut the gates close and entered the stronghold. The NLR council members were discussing how to make peace. When then Twilight entered. The NLR council member’s turned around and stared at her. Twilight levitated Obi Wan’s lightsaber, and turned it on. The council member’s stepped back. Twilight then began her slaughter; she ran up to a council member and sliced his head off. Twilight levitated her lightsaber so she could kill the members. As Twilight impaled one member, she threw his body aside, and turned around and slaughtered several others. Twilight then jumped up, and sliced down a mare Pegasi. Then Twilight walked towards a mare, unicorn who begged “I have family! Please Twilight! This isn't you!” Twilight instead sliced down the unicorn, and turned around and slaughtered more. Twilight then sliced down, an earth pony colt that tried to hide under a table. Twilight then killed several more. As she slaughtered them she shed a few tears, but got it back together. Twilight turned to the last one, and listened to the pleads of the Pegasi mare, as she begged and begged. Twilight sliced down the Pegasi and walked towards the exit of the compound. Twilight’s iris’s glowed yellow. Twilight headed back to the shuttle and took off, and flew back to the Executor waiting for her next mission. Luna was sitting at an old security monitor, when then she saw something. It was from the NLR council on the volcanic moon of Vanat. Luna sat there watching Twilight slaughter all the council members. Luna was stunned, as Luna stared in horror she called out “Celestia, I think I've found Twilight.” Celestia hurried into the room, as Luna replayed the recording. As Celestia watched she said out loud “No, it’s not true. That’s impossible!” Celestia couldn't believe it, her favorite student was now a monster. Celestia then said “I will do anything to get her back, anything.” Dahn entered and saw the footage and said “She is lost, she is confused. Something isn't right with her.” Dahn thought and said “I think Vader deceived her.” Celestia gasped, and said “No it’s not possible.” Everypony gasped, and stood there. Sombra’s star fleet flew through the asteroid field when then Sombra got the news “Twilight Sparkles, slaughtered the entire NLR council, without any mercy.” Sombra smiled, and said “Good, she is one step closer to being a dark magic master. Tell me who ordered her to do this?” The messenger said “Darth Vader.” Sombra looked at the messenger and said “Excuse me?” The messenger nodded and said “Sir, our intelligence units say Darth Vader ordered the deaths.” Sombra growled, and he knew things weren't going his way. Twilight stood there, Obi Wan’s lightsaber was at her side. She meditated; she sensed misery in her friends. Twilight then sensed Shining Armor’s distress, and Celestia’s distress. Twilight’s thought’s conflicted. As she stood up her mind said “Twilight they want you, they can help you!” Twilight walked down the hall, crushing things in her way with the force. The other side of her mind said “They want to kill you. They are lying!” Twilight looked at herself in the mirror, light shined on one side of her face, darkness engulfed the other side. Twilight sighed and walked towards Vader’s meditation chamber. Then she entered, she stood there patiently. Vader turned around, his mask was on. Twilight bowed down and said “What is thy bidding my master?” Vader then said “Go to Equestria, and strike down the Equestrian Alliance’s leaders. I want some alive. I want them to know you are now with me.” Twilight then said while bowing “Yes my master.” As Twilight walked towards her shuttle, she took off. And flew towards Equestria. TIE fighter’s escorted her, as the shuttle flew into the forests. As the Shuttle landed, Equestrian Alliance soldiers surrounded it. Dahn was with them. Dahn stood there watching the ramp lower, he turned on his lightsaber. As Dahn got ready, he saw a purple Alicorn walking off. Dahn stepped back and said “Is that you Twilight.” Twilight opened her eyes, showing off her yellow irises. Dahn stepped back, and said “Twilight, Vader is controlling you!” Twilight smirked and responded “Vader, is teaching me more things than you could ever teach me.” Dahn noticed Twilight turned on her Lightsaber. Dahn got ready, as Twilight jumped up, and prepared to strike at his lightsaber. Dahn stepped back, as the fury of slices came at him. When then he noticed Twilight threw several of the soldiers, around him into the forest. Twilight struck away, at Dahn’s saber. Dahn jumped back, as Twilight attempted to force push him into a tree. Dahn jumped up and force slammed into the ground, Twilight jumped in time to avoid the slam. Dahn ran towards Twilight getting ready to slice her down. But Twilight force pushed Dahn into a tree. Dahn got up, and levitated log, and threw it at Twilight. Twilight force pushed the log back, the log went flying towards Dahn who dodged it in time. Dahn got up, and ran towards Twilight. As he ran he lifted a rock, and threw it at Twilight. Twilight was hit by it, Twilight wasn’t injured she continued dueling. As Twilight struck at Dahn’s lightsaber it started raining. The rain fell down, as the sparks flew. Then Twilight kicked Dahn as she saw soldiers running towards her. Twilight ran to the shuttle, and took off. Dahn stood there as Shining Armor ran up next to him. Dahn watched the shuttle fly into the clouds. Shining Armor then said “Was that Twilight?” Dahn turned to Shining Armor and said “I’m afraid it was.” Shining Armor gasped, and said “You’re lying right?” Dahn shook his head and said “No, I’m not that was Twilight.” Shining Armor cried out “The monster she has become.” Shining Armor walked towards the HQ. Twilight bowed before Vader, and said “My master, they know that I am with you.” Vader turned around and said “Very good.” Vader then turned around and walked down the hallways, of the Executor. Twilight ran up to him and said “Master. What next?” Vader turned to her and said “Go and find King Sombra. Bring him to me. Boba Fett will assist you.” Twilight bowed before Vader and said “As you wish my master.” Twilight got to her shuttle and flew towards the asteroid field, and then the Slave 1 joined her. They then both entered hyperspace. > The Battle of Canterlot > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Battle of Canterlot As Sombra walked aboard his capital ship the Doom’s Giver. He felt the ship shake. Sombra looked around and demanded “What was that?” Then the lights went out, Sombra stood there in the dark. Then the emergency light’s turned on. Everypony around him was dead. Sombra noticed a low lying smoke. Sombra then roared “What is the meaning of this?” Sombra walked through the smoke. Sombra walked to a elevator and entered. Twilight Sparkle’s walked through the hall ways; Terror Trooper’s followed her as she walked towards the bridge. As Twilight walked towards the bridge she heard Boba Fett walking towards the bridge too. Twilight smirked and opened the door. As Twilight entered, she walked through the smoke. They were near the bridge; several Terror Troopers flanked them. Twilight looked around nopony was in the bridge. Sombra was scurrying around in a shaft under the bridge; he felt fear for the first time in life. As he walked through the smoke, Sombra thought he heard something. Sombra looked behind his back, nothing was there. As Sombra walked along the shaft, he looked through a vent and saw a Terror Spider droid, latching onto a pony and killing the pony. Sombra walked through the shaft, he was scared now. As he walked he thought he heard somepony walking, Sombra looked down the shaft in fear. Sombra ran as he ran he stopped, and noticed he was now in the open. Several Terror Troopers stared at him. Sombra charged up a spell, but then the Terror Trooper’s disappeared. As Sombra walked towards the exit. As Sombra walked he felt a claw in his mane. Sombra turned around and saw nothing. Sombra was in complete fear, as he walked down the hall ways to the hangar. Sombra was about to enter the hangar when then the area in front of him collapsed in. Sombra turned around; he saw four Terror Trooper’s charging him. Sombra screamed in terror as he tried to get away. Sombra scurried towards the rubble and started digging it was no use. The Terror Trooper’s stunned him. As Sombra fell to the ground knocked out, the Terror Trooper’s stared at the body and dragged it away. Sombra woke up in the bridge. He looked around and walked through the smoke then, he was hit in the back of the head. Sombra screamed in pain as he turned around and saw Boba Fett and a hooded figure. The pony stood there above Sombra. Sombra tried to get up, but then the pony kicked him with her front legs. Sombra then screamed “Who are you!?!” The pony removed her hood, it was Twilight. Sombra gasped and said “No, no it’s not true.” Twilight stood there and said “So, Sombra tell me where is Celestia?” Sombra growled “I don’t know Twilight.” Twilight then kicked Sombra again; Sombra’s nose was dripping with blood. Twilight then said “Sombra, we are taking you in custody of the Galactic Empire.” Sombra thought “How can I get Twilight to be my apprentice. How?” They then took Sombra to the ships and took him to the Executor. Celestia walked through the hall ways of the Equestrian Alliance HQ. Everything was in place now. They could attack Canterlot when they wanted to. Celestia watched the soldiers get ready for the battle to begin. Celestia walked to a transport and got onto it. As she flew the transport, flew with its escorts. Dahn managed to train the soldier’s the best they could. As the transport landed. Celestia walked off it, they were in Canterlot. It was raining; Celestia looked up and saw Twilight’s shuttle land at the castle. And then Vader’s shuttle landed. Luna got off her transport, and stood next to her sister. Dahn was mounted on his *Kybucks, he ran down the street his hand was in the air then he ignited his Lightsaber. Then the Equestrian Alliance deployed. The soldier’s jumped off transports that where still the in the air. As they charged to the castle. They would fire at the Stormtroopers. Several of the Stormtrooper’s dropped dead. Then the AT-ST’s started firing at the charging soldiers. As several earth ponies died. Dahn rode on his Kybuck’s as fast as possible. Dahn got off and said “It’s not safe here, run and hide.” The Kybucks ran off as fast as possible. Dahn then jumped and landed on the AT-ST’s roof and sliced open the hatch. The pilot’s inside looked up; Dahn used force to throw them out he then took over. Dahn then shot at several Stormtrooper platoons. The stormtrooper’s ducked down for cover. They then returned fire, as the AT-ST shook, Dahn jumped out and screamed to Celestia “Head towards the Castle!” Vader walked through the castle hallways with Twilight when then a soldier ran up and said “My lord, the city is under attack by the Equestrian Alliance.” Vader then said “Get the Stormtrooper’s ready.” Then Vader turned to Twilight and said “Follow me, we will be dealing with the Jedi.” Dahn entered the Canterlot Castle; as he walked he felt the ground shake. Then Dahn heard Vader breathing. As Dahn turned on his lightsaber he heard a scream. He turned around Twilight was diving at him, her lightsaber levitated as it struck his. Dahn stepped back, and force pushed Twilight into the ceiling. Twilight hit the ceiling causing pieces to fall down. Twilight fell down unconscious. Vader walked around Twilight and walked towards Dahn. Vader then said “At last we meet again. It is a pity you weren’t there for the Kessel Conclave.” Dahn didn’t respond instead he raised his blade, and prepared to strike down Vader. When then Vader lifted his saber, and deflected the strike. As the saber’s collided sparks flew. Vader then was locked, as he used his hate and anger, the lock was in his favor. He then overpowered Dahn. Dahn felt the recoil, as he fell back Vader jumped up and tried to strike him down. Dahn rolled to the side then, he noticed his lightsaber wasn’t in his hand. Dahn got up and used the force to locate his Lightsaber, as the lightsaber flew into his hands, he turned it on. Vader turned around and slashed at the Saber, as the sparks flew the battle continued in the background. As they dueled further into the castle. Vader then taunted “I remember killing your master; he was at his knees begging for mercy. I sliced him down.” Dahn ignored the taunt. Then Vader levitated Dahn and threw him out the window. As Dahn went flying through the air he noticed he was going to land near Celestia’s outpost. Dahn went flying into the ground; he weakly got up and said “Celestia?” Celestia walked out and said “Yes? Did you find Twilight?” Dahn then said “Yes I found her; she’s in the castle with Vader.” Celestia nodded and said “Ok, we need to get a strike plan ready.” Then just as Celestia said that, several ships flew into battle. Celestia then said “Wait a second those are part of the Shadow Imperium. This means Sombra escaped.” King Sombra indeed did escape, he was also attacking Canterlot. As his transport’s landed the siege of Canterlot Castle began. As Shadow Soldiers got off, the got around the castle’s walls, getting ready to attack. But then a volley of mortars came out off the wall, and rained down hell on the Shadow Soldiers. As the stallion’s tried to get away, the explosions tore through them killing them all. Then another volley of mortar’s rained down, the unicorn siege unit tried to run. It was no use, they were all being killed as the bodies fell to the ground, and they would dissolve into pure darkness. Then Stormtrooper’s would scale down the walls and engage the unicorn siege unit in hand to hand. As they brawled Stormtrooper’s would use pistols to finish off the kill. Vader then jumped off the wall, and landed then several unicorn’s surrounded him. Vader then sliced them down and killed them. As Vader killed the unicorn’s Twilight landed next to him, and joined in on the slaughter. As they killed off the shadow soldiers, it started to get cloudy and then it thundered and rained. Twilight and Vader stood there, Vader looked around the rain hit his lightsaber causing a hissing noise. As Twilight looked around, and said “Master, I sense a pony nearby.” Vader sighed and said “I sense the pony too.” They stood there when then a shadowy figure emerged. As the figure turned into his solid form Twilight said under her breath “Sombra.” Sombra stood there, as several shadow guard’s flanked him. Vader raised his saber and got into attack position. The guards got into attack position. Vader stood there, the wind blew through his cape. Then Vader sliced the two guards down. Then several more guards joined in. It was useless for the guards to join. Vader with ease sliced them down, the guard’s bodies flung to the ground. Vader then noticed a Shadow Cruiser approaching him, then with ease Vader used the force and forced it into the mountains. Vader struck down the guards, and turned around and impaled another guard. As Vader fought he looked at Twilight who was also fighting. Vader then choked a guard and threw him into the wall. Vader turned around and sliced another guard down. The last of the guard’s where dead. Sombra stood there over the guards. As he stood there he growled and then an electrostaff appeared. Sombra then levitated the staff, and hit it on Vader’s lightsaber. As Vader and Sombra dueled, the storm began to pick up. Vader then kicked Sombra into the wall, and tried to finish him off. It was no use; Sombra deflected the Saber strike in time. Twilight then joined in and struck at Sombra’s staff. As the dueled against Sombra, thunder struck as they dueled. Twilight then kicked Sombra, and attempted to behead him. Sombra deflected the strike in time, and struck back. Sombra then tried to kill Vader. Vader instead deflected the strike, and force pushed Sombra onto a ledge that was over the city. As they dueled, the wind blew. Twilight struck at Sombra, when then Sombra hit her on the side with the staff. Twilight screamed in pain, she hated him right now. Twilight’s irises turned an even deeper yellow as she struck at Sombra, and then force pushed him into the city. Sombra was now quite literally flying into the city. As Sombra landed, his body slid into a few food stands wrecking them. The battle still was happening. The roar of TIE fighters filled the city area and then the area around Sombra burst into flames. Sombra gasped and stepped back a bit and said “What is the meaning of this?” Then an explosion happened, several shadow unicorns ran by, as Scoutroopers snipers sniped them. A unicorn fell, as the laser went through his skull. Sombra ran into cover, Stormtrooper’s entered the area and started killing the ponies. Sombra hid behind a pile of bricks, he peered over the pile and saw Stormtrooper’s securing the area as AT-ST’s walked into the square, and aimed at something. Then a rocket went streaking through the sky and hit an Equestrian Alliance ship that flew over Sombra. The Z-95 flew into a building causing the ground to shake and raining rubble down onto Sombra. Sombra winced in pain, as a sharp piece of clay hit his head; he felt the blood going down his fur. As the Stormtrooper patrol moved out, the storm still rained down. Sombra poked his head out and walked towards the next intersection. This intersection was a major one. If one of the sides captured it, they got access to all of Canterlot; this Intersection was called Pegasi Intersection. At Pegasi all three force’s met and collided. Sombra ran towards it, he heard the sounds of guns going off. And then Sombra looked up, and saw an AT-AT standing over the intersection shooting at the soldiers. The ponies fell over dead, as Stormtrooper’s fell dead, but the other Stormtroopers would shoot back. Then a Z-95 flew into the AT-AT, causing it to fall on its side. As the new found cover fell to the ground Stormtrooper’s surrounded it, and got survivors out, and shot back at the Equestrian Alliance members. As the battle raged on, Shadow Pegasi flew in, and shot at Stormtroopers. The Stormtrooper’s looked up; one of the Stormtroopers had a turret and shot the Pegasi down. Sombra crouched there, behind some rubble. He watched as the forces fell back for a bit. Sombra stood up and looked around, he saw his soldier’s falling back. Sombra then called out to them “Soldiers!” The shadow soldiers turned around and said “Your Majesty! Are you alright?” Sombra nodded add said “Of course I am alright.” The Shadow Unicorn soldier’s bowed and said “Yes you’re Majesty, we understand.” The battle raged on, Dahn flew his ETA-2 to wreckage in the middle of the far north. Dahn landed, and got out and walked into the snow storm. When he walked to the area he found a crash Venator Star Destoryers, with ARC-170s, V-wings, and ETA-2s. Dahn stared at it and looked at salvage crew’s around him and said “Get ready to map this thing out, because we are going to build more of them.” The battle in Canterlot went on; the puddles from the storm were red with blood. Stormtrooper’s ran through the alley’s they then stormed into a house, they shot down several Shadow Earth Ponies. As they looked around, they kicked down a barrel they found something a crystal the Stormtrooper picked it up. The crystal was the same shape as a cylinder. The Stormtrooper looked at it, it was a dark color. They then walked out. As they walked out, they were greeted with an Equestrian Alliance ship buzzing them. Then a TIE Interceptor chased after it, shooting at it. The Stormtrooper’s felt the ground shake, a building then collapsed. One of them was killed by it. The other one was covered in rubble. A few hours later the rubble was moving, and then the survivor emerged, he still had the Crystal in his hand as he ran towards the Square. As he ran, he noticed the houses around him were burning and collapsing. He turned around and saw several Shadow Unicorn’s charging towards him. The Stormtrooper turned around and shot them to the ground. As he ran he tripped and a burning piece of wood fell in front of him. The Stormtrooper got to his feet and jumped over the piece of wood. He continued running he was near the town square, he then entered it. Stormtrooper’s looked at him, the temporary command station was in the town square, the command station was a few bunker’s put together. As the Stormtrooper entered he saw Vader, and said “Lord Vader, I have retrieved the crystal.” Vader turned around and said “Good work trooper.” The Stormtrooper handed the crystal to Vader. Vader turned to a command table, and put the crystal into a projector. The projector projected a 3D model of Sombra which was talking, it was a hologram. The hologram of Sombra said “Get ready to attack the castle, capture Twilight and kill Vader.” Vader then pressed a button and said “Trooper, defend the castle. King Sombra is coming.” The trooper on the other side responded “Yes Lord Vader.” Sombra stood there, the wind blew in his mane. He watched the soldier’s surround the Canterlot castle. Then mortars fired into the air, and landed in several platoons. The soldier’s collapsed as a bombardment began. As the soldier’s died, Sombra growled and roared “Retreat!” Then a bunch of AT-PT’s emerged from the gate. The AT-PTs started shooting at the retreating shadow soldiers. Then they charged, as they sprinted they jumped over a fence and stomped on the Shadow platoons. Screams of pain filled the air along with the crunching of bone and blood that was spilled. Sombra turned around as an AT-PT, jumped over him and landed on several Pegasi squads ahead of him. Sombra stepped back, as one AT-PT turned around and gunned down several platoons. Sombra growled, and dissolved into mist. Sombra was now a dark purple mist. He went through the streets, as he went through he saw AT-AA’s aiming at the sky watching out for any aircraft. Then the occasionally thunder of an AT-AA firing into the sky and hitting an Equestrian Alliance fighter. Then Sombra turned his misty form around, and saw Star Destoryers hovering over Ponyville. Then the Star Destoryers open fired on the Everfree forest, presumably to destroy the Equestrian Alliance forces. Sombra ten saw TIE Bombers flying over him and dropping there payload into the residential area. Sombra turned around, and saw an avalanche heading down the mountain. Sombra stared at it as it narrowly missed the City and the castle. A few weeks went by, the battle raged on. There was no end in sight. When then in space above Equestria a Star Fleet came. It was composed of Venator Star Destoryers. It was the new Equestrian Alliance Star Fleet. The Imperial Star Destroyer’s orbiting the planet opened fired. The Venators opened the hangar and deployed hundreds of ARC-170s, V-wings, and ETA-2s. Then TIE fighters and TIE Interceptor’s flew into battle. Then they entered dog fight, several TIE fighters chased down one ARC-170. Then the ARC-170’s left engine burst into flames shattering the glass of the tail gunner. Then the burning ship flew into a Venator destroying the bridge. Then an Imperial Star Destoryers exploded and split in two, the debris hit fighters. As the starships chased each other like a cat and mouse. Then the Executor unleashed her barrage on several Venators, destroying them all. As the Venators burst into flames, they destroyed ships around them. TIE Interceptors flew full speed shooting at several V-Wings ahead. Sombra’s forces collided with Imperial forces; the AT-PT’s trampled other ponies. As the AT-PTs turned around they noticed several shadow unicorn platoons heading towards them. The AT-PT’s charged up their guns, and open fired on them. Five unicorns fell down dead, as the lasers hit them killing them. Then the AT-PTs walked towards the Shadow Imperium barricades, as the barricades collapsed, the AT-PT’s stormed in and shot at the Shadow forces. Then Darth Vader walked through the breach Stormtroopers flanked him. They guarded him, in the background AT-AA’s would fire at V-Wings which flew down to attack. Vader turned around and sliced down a Shadow Unicorn. Vader watched as a piece of a Venator bridge landed in front of him. Then several TIE Interceptors which were chasing after an ETA-2 flew over him. Then the ETA-2 was hit, and flew into a building behind Vader. Then the building collapsed, dust and paper flew everywhere. Stormtrooper panicked and shot at anything that moved. Then more AT-AA shots fired in the background, several V-Wings exploded in air. Vader then ordered “Hold fire!” The Stormtrooper’s held fire and looked around; Vader stood there and said “Fire on the Shadow Soldiers.” The Stormtrooper bowed and said “Yes my lord.” Above Equestria Celestia and Luna watched the battle, Celestia watched a TIE Fighter explode and hit a Star Destoryer. Then a CR90 Corvette hit a Z-95 that flew by the bridge. Celestia then said “Sister is the Grand Army of The Alliance ready?” Luna stood there and looked at Dahn and said “Commander Dahn. Do you think they are ready?” Dahn thought and said “They are ready.” Then from the lower hangar of the Venators, tons of LAATs flew out. Equestrian Alliance LAATs, they flew into the atmosphere and flew down. Somewhere hit by AT-AA flak and exploded, One LAAT flew into a TIE Interceptor and destroyed it, along with its self. As the LAAT’s neared the ground they pulled up, and flew towards the Canterlot Castle. Then flak emerged, as several LAAT’s landed and deployed troops. Stormtroopers surrounded it, and aimed at the earth ponies, unicorns and Pegasi that where jumping off. They shot, some of the deploying soldiers shot back. Stormtroopers watched as Phase 0 Dark troopers used there jetpacks to jump and attack the ponies. Then an AT-PT shot at a landing LAAT and the LAAT spun out of control, at a very fast speed. Then it crashed into a horde of unicorns and Pegasi. Bodies of Stormtroopers, Pegasi and Unicorns piled up. As they fought then an AT-AT fired on the attacking forces. As they fought, hypervelocity guns fired, and hit enemy ships in space. Then debris rained down, hitting buildings. As AT-AA’s continued firing flak into the air, then a TIE Advance flew through the air. Vader was flying it, as he flew it he said “All Black Squad form up.” Then Black Squadron reported in along with their newest pilot, Twilight Sparkles. Vader flew through the atmosphere and said “This is it, cover me.” Twilight responded “Copy that Black Leader.” As they flew towards a Venator, several ARC-170s flew towards them firing. Vader shot back shooting two down. Vader then said “I’m going in cover me.” Vader skimmed the hull of the Venator firing at the turrets of the ship. Vader then said “Target the bridge.” Several TIE Fighters shot at the bridge. Vader then chased after a squad of ARC-170’s he chased after the leader. Vader then said “Form up, chase after the wing mates.” A pilot responded “Yes sir.” Vader checked his targeting computer, he had a lock. Vader then growled “I have you now.” Vader pressed the firing button; a volley of lasers hit the ARC-170. The ARC-170 burst into flames and spun out of control into another one, both exploded. Vader flew over some wreckage, and flew after a lone V-Wing. Vader then said “Twilight cover me.” Twilight flew full throttle after a V-wing and shot it down. Twilight’s TIE Interceptor flew past Vader’s TIE Advanced. Vader then chased after an ETA-2, the ETA-2’s pilot looked behind. The pilot accelerated and flew through the city like structures of the Executor. Vader sped up, and got a lock. He then fired, the ETA-2 burst into flames and flew upwards and spun around and exploded. Vader flew through the wreckage of Star Destoryers, and CR90s. He flew after a Z-95, as he gained on the Z-95, Vader fired on it. The Z-95’s engine exploded, it spun out of control into the remains of a wrecked CR90. Sombra’s ground forces were being over whelmed by the AT-PTs. Then LAATs flew overhead, firing off lasers, the AT-PTs exploded. Sombra stared as Equestrian Alliance forces jumped off, and shot Stormtroopers. Then the Alliance members shot at the Shadow army. As the buildings around them burned, Equestrian Alliance members shot several shadow Pegasi and kicked a several shadow Unicorns to the ground, and killed them. As they fought several TIE bombers flew overhead and deployed some bombs. Sombra gasped, and ducked he growled as they flew past him. Sombra then ordered “Shoot them down! Shoot them down!” Vader flew the TIE Advance over the surface of Canterlot, he flew over Sombra he chased a lone V-Wing, and finally got a lock. Vader shot the V-wing and pulled up. The V-wing flew into the everfree forest, never to be seen again. Vader then flew his TIE Advance low to the ground and started shooting at Sombra’s army. Vader’s TIE Advance flew overhead, and it flew towards a newly installed hangar in the Canterlot Castle. Twilight sat on Celestia’s former throne, Vader appointed her as the Ruler of the system. Twilight had a crown balanced on her head, several guards guarded her. Twilight got up, and entered the command center. There they saw a realistic hologram of the space battle. Twilight stood there Vader watched, and pointed at a holographic Venator and said “Divert fire onto that one.” Vader then said “Twilight follows me we are going to the Executor.” In space the battle died down, Equestrian Alliance ships were out of range, and were sitting in a small field of asteroids. Then a shuttle flew past the fleet. As the shuttle accelerated, it flew towards the Executor. It then got clearance to land. The shuttle flew into the hangar and landed. TIE fighters flew around the hangar. They were protecting something, or someone. The Emperor arrived. A platoon of stormtrooper’s formed into lines awaited. Then the shuttle’s ramp lowered and Red Guards walked out, there red robes hung above the ground. The guards stood there, and then Emperor Palpatine walked out. Lord Vader was bowing, Palpatine walked and said “Rise my friend.” Vader answered his master “Yes my master.” Palpatine then said “How is the search for the one who destroyed the Death Star?” Vader answered “Good my master.” Palpatine then said “Anything else?” Vader then said “No my master.” Palpatine then said “Very well, I shall head out.” Palpatine boarded his shuttle, the only reason he landed was so the shuttle could refuel. The Shuttle took off and entered hyperspace again. Vader turned around and headed towards the bridge, Palatine’s visits were to maintain control of the fleets, and a constant reminder of who was in control. Meanwhile Celestia, Dahn and Luna were in the planning room. They over looked a holographic representation of Canterlot. They saw the miniature stormtrooper’s advance up the holographic streets. Celestia said “If we want to save Twilight, we need to get a hold of this place.” Luna then said “Correct, Shining Armor is on the ground fighting the enemies off. He might have a bit of advice.” Shining Armor ran through crowds of Stormtroopers, he levitated an E-11 and shot at them. And ran over bodies, he stepped on a Stormtrooper helmet which made a crunching noise. Shining turned around and gunned down several Stormtroopers. Shining then got a message “Celestia needs you at the bunker.” Shining Armor turned around, and headed to the bunker. As Shining Armor entered he asked “What’s going on?” Celestia turned around and said “We need to get ready to infiltrate the Canterlot Castle.” Shining Armor gasped, and said “We are going to do that?” Celestia nodded and said “Yes we are. The plan is that you and Dahn will infiltrate near the northern wall, and progress to the Throne room. Then once you secure the area, Luna and I will come.” Shining Armor nodded and said “Ok, and then what?” The ground shook as an explosion shook the area, Celestia then said “Then you will take out there artillery. Once that is done we can do a full strike. But we must prepare, I estimate it will take a few months to begin the attack.” Vader and Twilight were in front of the Shadow Imperium’s attack base. Vader looked at it and said “We have not been spotted follow me.” Twilight nodded and walked towards the entrance. The entrance was a massive door. Vader used the force to open it. As they entered Vader said “It’s quiet, I sense nothing. There forces are all distracted.” Vader then destroyed a door, and entered. As Vader walked around, he noticed two sleeping guards. Twilight sliced them down and walked up to a control panel, she then typed in a few words and a sliding door opened. As they entered, they found a wooden door. It reminded Twilight of the nightmare door she encountered in the Crystal Empire. The door flew around avoiding Vader and Twilight. Twilight then blasted the door with Dark Magic. Twilight entered the door. Then a blast of light engulfed her, she was on the Executor’s bridge. Vader was standing above her and then Twilight said “Master, I don’t know what happened.” Vader groweled at Twilight “You failed that’s what happened.” Twilight gasped and said “I failed?” Vader nodded and said “You failed me for the last time Twilight.” Twilight gasped and said “No, no! Please!” Vader started choking her. She then fell down. “Twilight get off the floor.” Growled Vader, Twilight looked up and said “Sorry master.” Vader then entered the door. He was on Naboo. Vader looked around and then saw Padme staring at him. Vader then said “Padme! I’m sorry!” Padme looked at Vader and then said “Get out of my sight.” Vader stopped and then asked “Wait what?” Padme looked at him and said “I’m never forgiving you. You monster, you killed our child too. This is your entire fault I will never forgive you Anakin.” Vader gasped, and screamed “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Vader snapped out of it, but his no shook the area. The roof fell in, the walls shattered. Twilight cowered, as Vader stormed through the collapsed wall. Vader turned around and growled “Follow.” Vader ran through slicing down Shadow Soldiers. Padme was in his head saying “I will never forgive you.” Vader howled in anger, and sliced down another Soldier. He choked another one, and impaled him. They were at a massive staircase now. Vader looked up and jumped from stair to stair, Twilight flew up. Once they got to the top they found Sombra. Sombra turned around and said “So we meet again.” > Destruction > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Destruction Twilight and Vader stared at Sombra who stood up and turned around. Sombra’s eyes glowed as he said “We meet again.” Twilight levitated her saber and turned it on; Vader turned his on and got ready. Sombra then blasted Vader’s saber with dark magic. Vader held his ground he slid a bit, but he held. Sombra was exhausted once he finished, then Vader commented “Your powers are weak.” Sombra looked up, and shot another blast over dark energy. Twilight sliced at Sombra’s flank, Sombra yelped and jumped back. Vader walked towards Sombra and grabbed him by his neck, Sombra kicked and kicked. Then Vader threw Sombra into the wall, and then crushed the supports above Sombra. All the sudden rubble fell down onto Sombra. Sombra screamed out in terror. Sombra was trapped, Vader and Twilight walked away. Sombra was presumed dead. The pile of rock, steel, iron and other junk broke Sombra’s bones. Sombra was nearly dead. Outside the Shadow Imperium’s Outpost, Vader then said to a Commander “Blow the place up, I want no survivors.” The Commander nodded, and pulled out a detonator. He pressed the button, a few minor explosions. The commander turned around raised his hands in disbelief, and then kept jamming onto the button. Then the Outpost exploded, the explosions shook Canterlot. Dust flew through the air, as Stormtrooper’s stood around the collapsed building. Vader and Twilight were now in the Canterlot castle. Twilight sat on her throne, Vader stood there staring out the window. Vader watched the battle, several ARC-170’s flew by the window, then Vader gripped one. The ARC-170 shook in the air, Vader was crushing it. Twilight watched, as Vader threw it into a Venator Star Destoryer that was hovering over the city. The Venator was hit in the bridge. Then the Venator accelerated into the ground shaking it. It was crashed, its stern was in the air, and the bow was in the ground. Smoke came from the bridge. Around the crashed Venator several Stormtrooper squads entered. They walked through the remains. The hall ways were filled with smoke. Then one Stormtrooper kicked down a door and entered. He looked around, and saw nothing but bodies. The Stormtrooper raised his E-11 and shot a unicorn that was shrouded by smoke. The Unicorn fell down, dead. The Stormtrooper then said into his COMM link “I have spotted one hostile, what about you guys?” Then another one answered “Yeah I spotted four hostiles, all unarmed.” The Stormtrooper then entered the mess hall. There was an Equestrian Alliance banner hanging over the tables. The Stormtrooper walked around. He then came across a panel, he sliced it. Then he was able to access the Flight data. As he got the data, he felt the ship shake. Then the wall ripped open. The Stormtrooper looked out, Shadow unicorns where charging in. The Stormtrooper shot five of them. The Stormtrooper got up, and ran to the exit. As he ran, the walls started exploding. Dark magic spells flew by. Then the Stormtrooper got to the exit hatch, he kicked down the door to see his squad outside. Then the Stormtrooper jumped out, as an explosion tore open the ship. The Stormtrooper squad looked around, the Venator split in two and exploded. Vader was on the balcony, watching the battle. He then turned around a Stormtrooper squad returned. Then the commander of the squad gave Vader a disk. Vader looked at it and said “Very good commander. Return to your base.” Vader walked to a holo projector and played the disk. The disk played the flight data, and who was on it. Vader looked at it and turned around and continued watching the battle. Celestia and Luna stood there in the command center. They looked at the sky; smoke from the front lines was in the air. Celestia then turned to Luna and asked “Tell me, where is Dahn.” Luna shrugged and said “I don’t know where he is.” Dahn was in reality he was in the front lines. Alone in the frontlines, Dahn was walking down the street. A TIE defender flew over him. Dahn then entered a building. He walked to the top, and pulled out his disruptor rifle. He sat there and then looked down the scope and aimed. Then he charged up his rifle and aimed at an Imperial officer. He then shot and watched as the officer disintegrated into ashes. Dahn smirked he killed one. The Stormtrooper’s looked around and then one pointed at the building Dahn was in. Then a SPMA fired a shot into the air. The artillery shot destroyed the building Dahn was in. Dahn felt the rubble fall onto him. Dahn was trapped now, in the rubble. Celestia looked around and walked, she was tired. Dahn has been missing, for ten hours. It was unusually for him to be missing for this long. Celestia then said “Dahn’s missing, we need to find him.” Celestia looked around, and saw a collapsed building, Celestia gasped and said “Oh god.” Night was falling; ponies were running around for cover. Celestia was near the ruins, digging through. She then found Dahn’s hand. She pulled it out. Then the words “FREEZE!” Echoed through the area, two Commandos removed there cloaks and aimed at Celestia and Dahn. The prison cell was cold, Celestia was gagged. Then a guard entered and ungagged her. She couldn’t see anything, then she heard an officers voice. Then she heard Twilight’s voice. Celestia then thought “She’s going to torture me.” Twilight then entered the cell, she then went up to Celestia and said “Well, Princess. Here’s my message to you for today.” Then an interrogation droid entered. Twilight smiled darkly, as the door closed. Vader walked through the hall ways of the castle, he breathed in and out. Sombra he presumed was dead. Vader then got word, Celestia was captured. Vader smirked beneath his helmet. As he watched the battle, he watched and then said “Commander, destroy Ponyville.” Vader walked by the little poop pen he set up for Twilight, because ponies don’t have bathrooms. Vader continued walking onto a balcony; he then saw all of Equestria. He looked up, he was waiting for something. In space several Star Destoryers positioned themselves, for a bombardment. Captain Piett then gave the word “Fire!” Then hundreds of Turbolasers fired, down and rained hell on Ponyville. The explosions were heard in Canterlot, as it shook the ground. Ponyville burst into flames. For five hours, the bombardment continued, even TIE bombers bombed the city. The Everfree forest was burning out of control. By the time dawn came, the smoldering remains of Ponyville, still smoked. The Ever Free forest was nearly completely burned down. Star Destoryers noticed the flames, and smoke from the fire. The morning was quiet; Stormtrooper’s patrolled the ruins of Ponyville. They looked around, nothing but bodies. As they kept walking they looked up. The ground was covered in frozen rain, which was mixed with ash. They kept walking the sky was gray, and freezing rain came down. Vader watched the battle, Twilight walked up to him and looked at the now barren valley that Ponyville, and the Everfree forest use to be in. Several TIE Bomber’s flew by. Vader then looked at the ruined Canterlot, and said “Blow the city up.” Vader gave the order, Stormtrooper’s fell back. They evacuated the castle, and went to landing craft and left. They were all leaving, one by one onto landers. Vader and Twilight got onto a shuttle, then the last barge full of prisoner’s left. Celestia and Dahn were on the barge. As they all entered orbit, Vader instead landed on a high point, he got out. Luna was not in Canterlot but instead down in Ponyville looking around. She couldn’t believe it; the Empire blew an entire area off the map. She shed several tears, and looked up. Canterlot, it was quiet. The winter breeze blew at Luna’s cloak. In space several gunner’s where aiming. Then the lead gunner gave the order “Fire at will!” He announced, then hundreds of Turbolasers, bombarded Canterlot. The platform Canterlot was on, collapsed. Thousands of ponies screamed in horror as they fell to their death. Then the monument dedicated to the Elements of harmony burst into flames, exploding, as it melted. The rubble rained down, the casualty’s where huge. Sombra was caught in the explosion; he turned into mist and escaped. As TIE Bomber’s flew over, they bombarded the area too, Vader and Twilight got off the planet soon afterward. Thousands of ponies died. The smoke filled the air, as dust mixed in with the rain. The battle ended with an Imperial Victory, and a base delta zero destroyed the planet. Over Equestria, Equestrian Alliance forces flew down. They evacuated Luna, Shining Armor, and Cadance, and they entered hyperspace to the mountainous world of Xander, as they entered light speed. The Slave 1 detached from a wrecked Venator bridge. Boba Fett put his range finder down and entered light speed. > Thin Air > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thin Air Fett followed as the Equestrian Alliance orbited Xander, he flew carefully. The mountain base sent out a code request thinking it was one of their ships, Fett responded by sending the code, and sped up. He flew through the atmosphere. He flew into the hangar, and landed. Equestrian Alliance soldier’s lined up thinking it was a high ranking leader. Then the door opened, and Fett throw a thermal detonator. The detonator exploded killing all the ponies. Fett walked down the hall way, he placed charges on gas pipes. As Fett walked he, looked around a corner. No pony was there, he walked down the hallway, placing a thermal detonator. He entered the elevator, and pressed the button that said “To the flight deck D.” As the elevator started up, the Thermal Detonator exploded. The gas pipe’s tore open, releasing gas, and fuel everywhere. Then a massive explosion rocked the base. Luna was looking out the window, several Bat Ponies guarded her. Then the base shook, the glass shattered. Luna screamed and heard the fire alarms going off. Then Luna looked out the window, and saw a sinkhole emerge, as an explosion tore open the base. Then the COMM center, exploded uplink center that was connected to the COMM center exploded, ash rained down. Fett got off the elevator, safely. He was now in the remains of hangar D. Boba walked through the wreckage, and found a crate of thermal detonators. He got them, and walked down the hallway, planting them as he walked. Then Fett walked to a glass window, and punched. The window only cracked, Boba punched it again, and the window shatter wind blew and howled outside. Boba stuck his head outside and looked. Boba then jumped out, Fett turned on his jet pack, and flew away, as an explosion narrowly missed him. Luna looked out the window, and saw the second explosion. The debris rained down into the ravine that separated the base. Fett flew, towards Luna. As Luna noticed Fett she dove for the button, which put a blast shield over the window. It was too late. Boba flew through the window, and kicked down a bat guard. The other Bat pony tried to defend itself. It was useless; Fett smashed its head against his knee. The Bat Pony that was kicked down was crawling and said “Mother, Luna please. Help.” Fett walked up to the dying Bat Pony, and stepped on its head. Crushing its skull, killing it within seconds, blood dripped out the mouth and the nose of the dead bat pony. Fett looked up, and walked towards Luna. Luna charged up a spell, Boba dodged it. Luna stepped back, and said “I don’t want to do this.” Fett only got closer, and closer, and closer. Luna opened blast shield, Boba turned on his jetpack and tackled Luna. They flew out of the window, fighting each other. Boba then landed next to a canyon, they were in a power struggle. Boba then over powered Luna, and kicked her onto the ground. Luna winced, her head was cut. She got up slowly, Boba only responded with a kick. Luna then screamed in pain. Luna’s eyes were closing she was entering shock, she was shivering, she then closed her eyes. Luna’s head felt like as if someone beat it with a sack of rocks. She could never forget the pain. Vader and Twilight where in the barren wasteland that use to be Equestria, there were Lava streams and volcanoes erupted. Vader watched several AT-PT’s sprint across the lava field. Then Vader saw the Slave One land at the newly made Imperial Outpost. The Outpost was built on a solid island that was surrounded by Lava. Several things of metal made a temporary bridge over the lava. As the Stormtrooper’s welcomed Fett. A Equestrian Alliance V-wing was lifted from the wreckage, and thrown into a scrap pile. Vader looked at the newly captured Luna and said “Very good. Take her to my Star Destoryer.” Fett nodded and went to Vader’s ship. The Xander base was a mess, 5,000 were missing. Due to the fact of how the majority of the base was underground, and the gas pipe that exploded went into the underground area. There where only 500 survivors. Including Cadance and Shining Armor. Luna was reported missing. The Equestrian Alliance was effectively maimed. The hangar was crumbled, dead bodies were being pulled out. The canyon that was in the middle of the base had a small tube like bridge that turned into a tunnel, when it crossed collapsed. At the same time of the collapse fifteen high rank generals where walking across. They where dumped into a 20,000 foot deep canyon. At the bottom of the canyon there was a river, a fast moving one. The water was moving fast, causing their bodies or the dying to be flushed down stream, never to be seen again. Shining Armor looked at several dying unicorns. One coughed up blood, and levitated a photo, and gave it to Shining Armor. The Unicorn said in a hoarse voice “Please, give this to my. Wife and children. Please sir.” The Unicorn coughed one more time, his eyes closed. He was dead, Shining Armor walked through the amounts of wounded. Several soldiers where picking up the bodies and tossing them into trailers. On Equestria, Twilight was looking at the sun; it was blocked out by ashes. The volcanoes erupted; the volcanoes emerged from the explosions, due to the tectonic plates being messed up from the bombardment. She was crying, she regretted her choices. She brought destruction, to Equestria. But she looked up, and turned around. She was waiting for her next mission. Luna sat there her prison cell was cold. She eavesdropped to hear about how many ponies died in the Xander Explosion. Luna heard about how many died. She gasped, the death tolls were unrealistic. Xander was getting worst, the liquid hydrogen tanks exploded, causing the hangar to collapse killing 50 more, and they had no place to get supplies. The Equestrian Alliance was falling apart. Then they had to evacuate. As they left, there were thousands underground dying of wounds or thirst. Back in Equestria, or what use to be Equestria thousands of stormtrooper where patrolling the lava fields, the sky was now a blood red color. Clouds of ashes floated around, as some mountains sank because of the tectonic plates where giving away. The Oceans of Equestria where actually a massive steam cloud. But it was where the Equestrian Alliance had several of its ships go. The ship’s glass actually melted, and the ponies inside where killed because of burns. But then several squads of Stormtroopers entered. The Stormtroopers walked in the halls of the Venator, they walked over skeletons of ponies, the skeleton’s bones where scorched, bloodied, and scratched from the steam. The Stormtrooper’s armor was heavier and bulkier. They had jetpacks built into their back, they walked through the halls. They then found the ship plans. As they typed something in, the ship creaked back and forth it was going to collapse. The squad leader, then said “Alright let’s head out we have everything.” They walked towards the landing zone. Where a shuttle picked them up, as they boarded the shuttle they flew to the Empires base. As they landed, an officer greeted them, and took the disc that they uploaded the info onto. As they walked out, they inserted it. They watched, the disc pointed out major areas in the galaxy that where under Equestrian Alliance control. The officer looked and observed the map. Vader was upstairs, in the control tower, training Twilight. Twilight was levitating her saber, as Vader dueled with her. Vader then said as he hit Twilight’s saber “You’re holding it too tight.” Twilight loosened her grip up and dueled, and then Vader struck the saber out of Twilight’s control, and caught the saber. Vader then said “You aren’t holding it tight enough.” Vader and Twilight sat down. Twilight said to Vader “You have taught me well.” Vader then looked at Twilight and said “You will go and kill your brother, he is a threat to our plans, and we have them cornered.” Twilight secretly didn’t agree. But she had too, or else Twilight would die. > The Shadow of Truth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Shadow of Truth Twilight boarded a shuttle; the shuttle took off in time. As they entered light speed, Twilight closed her eyes and relaxed. The Slave 1 also entered light speed, so did an ARC-170 a privately owned ARC-170. The Equestrian Alliance fleet landed at Vanat, the ice planet where the NLR was forced out. As the Equestrian Alliance transports flew through the blinding blizzard, they watched below as they saw decaying bodies, some showed the whites of the bones. When the ARC-170 and the Slave 1 entered the Vanat system. They noticed several Equestrian Alliance ships, and then a Providence Class Carrier, which was presumable, found and salvaged. Boba then said to the pilot of the ARC-170 “Prepare to land on that Providence Carrier.” The ARC-170 pilot responded “Yes sir.” As the ARC-170 and the Slave 1 landed in the hangar, the hangar’s doors slammed shut. Boba Fett got out of the Slave 1. Boba watched as the Arc-170’s cockpit canopy opened, two Mandalorians got out. Boba walked around the large hangar, and the ordered the two Mandalorians to get there weapons ready. One Mandalorian soldier her name was Gara Verasx, or simply Gara. Gara was married to Aramis Verasx, Gara’s armor was Blue, and Aramis wore black armor. The back gunner seat of the ARC-170 was automated it was controlled by the co-pilot. As Boba walked down the hall and said “You two, get ready.” Gara nodded and responded “Yes sir.” Gara, walked and halted. Gara and Aramis walked down the hall way they were near the bridge. Aramis then whispered “Alright Gara, when I open this door we both enter.” Gara removed her helmet, as she took it off long wavy red hair. Her eyes where a deep blue. Her skin color was that of a Concordian (or white.) Aramis took his helmet off; he had a crew cut, blue eyes black hair, and skin color of a Concordian. He stroked Gara’s cheek and kissed her. They both put their helmets back on, they opened the door. A smoke grenade exploded. Gara looked around she then shot a unicorn, with her Westar-34, Aramis shot two Pegasi with his EE-3. As the smoke cleared out. Gara walked up to the captain of the ship and threw him to the side. Boba Fett was walking through the ship. Shining Armor who heard him pulled out a blaster as Fett walked by, Boba glanced that way. Shining leaned against the corner, and then a blaster shot hit the wall. Shining jumped back in surprise; he then looked out from his cover and fired a volley at Fett. Boba shot back twice. Fett slowly backed into a door, and entered. Shining charged down the hall. Boba was standing right there behind the door. Boba kicked Shining into the door. Shining got up and kicked Boba in the back. Boba responded by grabbing Shining’s feet and then taking off with his jetpack. Shining was being dragged against the ground being hit by barrels; he then noticed Fett was flying towards a viewing window. They then hit a glass viewing area. Sending them flying into the main hangar. Boba hit the ground, and looked up an Imperial Shuttle probably Twilight’s was heading straight towards them. Boba got up and realized his jetpack was broken. Fett and Shining brawled, the shuttle was getting closer, the kept fighting. The shuttle got closer, closer, closer, and closer. It then went flying over their heads and landed. The shuttle door opened. Twilight flew out, several Terror Troops stormed out. The Terror Troops ran into the hallways. Boba left Shining crippled on the ground. Twilight stood over shining Fett walked up to Twilight and said “I’m done. Now when do I get paid?” Twilight said “You aren’t done yet. Kill him.” Shining Armor screamed “Twilight! I, beg of you! Just please save me…” Shining entered shock. Fett then curb stomped on Shining Armor. Twilight watched as Shining howled and screamed in pain, as he was awaken. Boba then curb stomped again. A tear went down Twilight’s eye. Shining screamed out, as blood was on the ground. Flash backs went through Twilight’s mind. She was shaking, sweating, she watched. More flash backs, they wouldn’t end, Twilight then said “Boba, leave him to me.” Boba nodded, and walked away. Shining was on the ground crippled, bleeding out. Twilight got onto her shuttle. As the Terror Troops swarmed the ship, they were being killed. One by one they would die, not a big surprise since they were made for speed. Each one would be killed they fell to the ground dead. Gara and Aramis where sitting there enjoying their little time with each other. As they watched the stars move by. They got up and headed back to their ARC-170 to get ready to leave. They walked down the hallway, and got to the hangar and took off in there ARC-170 to their own Providence class carrier. Twilight left the area, and boarded her shuttle and entered light speed after taking off. She was saddened by her failure. Gara and Aramis got onto their Providence class carrier, several Mandalorian Protectors. Helped unload their. Gara removed her helmet, and held Aramis’s hand they went into their room for the night. “Don’t fail me again.” Roared Vader, as Twilight knelt before Vader. Vader then saw Boba, and said “Same goes to you, don’t fail me again.” Vader left the room for his Meditation chamber. Boba and Twilight where left in the Bridge staring at each other. Several Officers looked on as Boba walked down the hallway, with the bridge. Fett left the bridge. Boba entered the Slave 1 and looked outside of the hangar it was mid-night, Fett groaned and entered his ship and slept . Twilight stormed into her quarters, and threw a book at the ground. Twilight was screaming, she was afraid, and she was fearful that Vader would kill her the next morning. Gara and Aramis woke up that next morning. As they got up they got dressed, and walked out of there in there armor, and got to the ARC-170 and flew to Vanat. Boba Fett was waiting there for them along with Twilight. As the ship landed, Aramis and Gara got out. They both walked and met up with Boba, and Twilight. They were on the surface of Vanat not to far from the Vanat base. As they walked up, to the base’s door, they opened the doors and entered. Inside they found thousands of soldiers just staring at them. The doors shut behind them, and locked. In space a Star Destoryer came out of hyperspace, and then the entire Imperial fleet followed. TIE fighters were deployed, and the battle began. As the Turbo Laser’s fired, Flak Cannons from the Equestrian Alliance ships, would fire in response and then a clunk as an empty Flak shell hit the ground. Storm troopers on an Imperial Star Destoryer dived for cover as a flak shell hit the Star Destoryer. On board the Providence class carrier, a turbo laser blast came ripping through the armor, and hit a stack of Flak shells. The Flak shells exploded tearing the starboard of the ship apart. Then Landing craft flew down to the planet’s surface. As the craft landed, gun fire roared, as Snow Troopers shot at the bunkers. Several bunkers exploded, as Snow Troopers set up cover. Shot gun fire ripped through the flesh of several earth ponies. Then a Victory Class Star Destoryer flew into the battle shooting everything on the ground. Explosions echoed throughout the valley. As artillery fired in the back ground. Snow troopers, shot Machine guns at several bunkers ahead. Inside the bunkers several unicorns where screaming “Come on we need ammo!” Then a piece of blaster bolt flew and hit there commander in the head. Then they started shooting back with a blaster rifle. Then a TIE Fighter flew straight into that bunker. Inside the prison area, Gara, and Twilight where sharing a cell. Boba and Aramis where sharing one down the hall. Twilight looked at Gara and asked “So what’s there plan?” Gara responded “To trade us for Celestia, Luna and Dahn.” Gara looked at the snow wall, and kicked it, it didn’t break. Gara sat down and said “Well where going to be here for a while.” Luna, Celestia and Dahn where onboard the Executor then the door opened to their cell. An officer entered and said “You’re leaving get up.” Several Naval troops came up and grabbed each one and dragged them to the hangar and shoved them aboard a shuttle. The shuttle took off and flew down to an area on Vanat. On Vanat Twilight, Boba, Gara, and Aramis were waiting, they were given their equipment back. The shuttle landed and out came Dahn, Celestia, and Luna. Dahn had his lightsaber still. Boba, Twilight, Gara and Aramis entered the shuttle. The space battle was still going on; the Executor was taking down all the enemy ships. TIE fighter’s chased after V-wings, and Venators fired on Star Destoryers. As the Venators fought against the Star Destoryers, dog fights would go on. Several TIE Defenders bombed the bridge of one Venator. The Venator exploded. On the ground snow troopers, were entrenched shooting at hostiles. Then an explosion rocked the area, as bomber’s flew overhead bombing the no man’s land. The gun fire was loud it roared in throughout the valley. Several blaster bolts hit the trenches the snowtroopers where in. Explosions shook the area. Then heavy artillery fired at the area. Gara was in the trenches shooting at Equestrian Alliance forces. Gara sat there shooting, she shot with expert skill, Aramis was right next to her shooting at several Equestrian Alliance bunkers. As they fired an Equestrian Alliance Providence carrier came speeding down into the no man’s land. Then a crystal erupted as from the snow, Sombra emerged. As Sombra’s dark mist form moved along the no man’s land it set its self-up a crystal fortress in the distance. Then Dark Crystal Soldiers attacked. Gara sprinted into the crashed Providence carrier. She walked by a plaque that says “The Shadow of Truth” Gara walked into the ship’s gun bay, she walked and took of her helmet, she sat down on a flak gun and aimed at an Equestrian Alliance bunker. Then a clunk followed a empty flak shell came out of the gun. Aramis who followed Gara got onto a flak gun, and fired at the Equestrian Alliance bunker Then it became night time, soldiers slept or helped the wounded. Gara and Aramis found a place on the Providence Carrier to sleep in. But in space they were still fighting, on board Luna’s new Providence Carrier which she named “The Eclipse” Luna would watch from the bridge a Star Destoryer came into view, Luna said into her microphone “Prepare for battle!” The approaching Star Destoryer was commanded by Twilight, Twilight named her ship “Quality” As the Eclipse and Quality got in range, they got all crew to their battle stations. Then they were in range. They both fire at the same time, the gunner stations on the Quality where full of Imperial Gunners, repair men, soldiers and medics. Then all the Eclipse was firing it’s batteries at once, while the Quality did the same. Then a large explosion, the Quality’s bow snapped in two and the hangar bay exploded which also damaged the engine. But The Eclipse’s Bow split into two, and the hangar collapsed, the engines just exploded. Both ships were stranded staring at each other without power. Twilight looked out the window The Eclipse was burning, while the Quality’s bridge area was damaged. Equestrian Alliance soldier’s where to busy trying to get the wounded back to the medical bay or a docking bay. Twilight was evacuating soldiers through a backup hangar. Aramis and Gara where in there improvised room, which was the captain’s room, they looked at each other, and entered that room. The next morning Gara and Aramis left the Providence Carrier for the Storm Troopers and the Equestrian Alliance so they would fight over it. As they walked out the wreckage, they watched as Snow Troopers charged the Carrier. Cadance was now pregnant, about 8 weeks pregnant; Shining Armor was told that as soon as he recovered, from his beating. As Shining celebrated, he knew that if there child was born into war, he would have to retire. Weeks passed, the fighting continued. Gara was in the doctor’s office, then a 2-1B Medical Droid came up to her and said “You seem to be 5 weeks pregnant.” Gara’s mouth dropped, she dropped her gun, her helmet slid off her lap, it hit the ground. Gara stood up and said “Thank you.” Gara walked out and went up to Aramis; Gara said “Aramis, I’m pregnant.” Aramis looked at her and said “I am happy, to hear that.” Aramis, was shocked he was about 24, and Gara was 20. Aramis sat down in a chair letting it all sink in. In the background the roar of turbo laser fire sounded. The ship shook every now in then, the war was coming to a close. But how would it close? > The Fateful Choice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Fateful Choice Several boarding ships landed in a small hangar aboard Twilight’s crippled Star Destoryer, and then Dahn, Shining Armor, Celestia and Luna got off. Luna managed to get an escape pod, and get picked up, so that was how she got there. On board the Quality were Vader, Boba Fett, Aramis, and Gara. A back up hangar was set up so Imperial officials could get to the ship. Luna charged her way through Stormtroopers. Gara was standing down the hallway, with no armor, then Aramis jumped down and kicked Luna down Luna got up and watched Aramis run down the hallway, Aramis ran into a large assembly area, and took off in his Jetpack, Gara ran up to a catwalk, Aramis whipped out his EE-3 and defended his wife and unborn child. Two unicorns tried to kill him, but they were gunned down. Aramis, then landed on the catwalk and said “Gara follow me.” Gara nodded and followed after Aramis. They kept shooting, at Aramis as he entered a door and locked it. Stormtroopers then entered the catwalk they killed several but then they were killed. Aramis ran and got cover, Gara was trying to get an elevator the door exploded Equestrian Alliance soldier’s burst into the hallway, Aramis shot several Unicorns, and ran to the elevator and put Gara behind him. As they entered the elevator, Gara held onto Aramis’s arm. The couple ran the bridge. Stormtroopers where at the bridge a shuttle was docked and transports were getting ready to evac, Darth Vader stood there his saber was ready, Twilight got ready, Boba got ready, he had his ship docked on the Star Destoryer, Aramis was ready, Gara was in a closet. The door exploded, Stormtroopers fired and killed some, but ultimately the battle was won by the Equestrian Alliance. Twilight saw Dahn and ignited her lightsaber she struck at him, Dahn instead force pushed Twilight into a wall. Vader ignited his saber and attacked Dahn, Dahn fought back the furious strikes, he then was being weakened. Vader then grabbed Dahn’s saber and threw it on the ground. Dahn got up and used the force against Vader. Vader got up and then used the force and ripped a door off its hinge’s and threw it at Dahn. Dahn got hit and flew across the room. Boba then said “Gara, Aramis get on the Slave 1.” Gara and Aramis sprinted to the docking bay. Vader then crushed Dahn’s saber. All the sudden a dark Shadowy mist appeared Sombra, was in the room. Vader got up, and Dahn stared at Vader and then Dahn said “Look at what you have done, you killed thousands, you have separated families, you have corrupted hundreds. Now what.” Twilight then got up; she was confused she realized the crimes Vader committed. She then saw Sombra, Sombra then said “Twilight you can always join me, free yourself of the force and be liberated.” Vader looked at Twilight and said “Twilight, Dahn is lying about forgiveness. He is a Jedi, he is the reason you got into this mess.” Dahn then screamed “I am not! Twilight I forgive I am telling the truth.” Twilight then had conflicted (play music for background effect)thoughts, she was confused, immoral. But she had three options, be with Vader and be taught in power, be with Dahn and be forgiven, or be with Sombra and be free. Now You Choose Light Side (Official) Darkside (Unofficial) Dark Magic(unofficial) > Light Side Ending > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light Side Ending Twilight looked at Dahn and said “Let’s get out of here.” Vader then said “Kill them.” Twilight then ran, blaster shots whizzed by, as they fell back into the hangar. Twilight walked to the Equestrian Alliance Shuttle and took off. It then landed on the Vanat Base pad. Twilight met up with Luna and said “Now where do we begin?” Luna then said “You’ll need to help us get Vader out of orbit.” On Equestria Vader’s shuttle landed at the landing pad, and Vader got out, he then saw a hologram of Palpatine. Vader said “My master, the rebels are being wiped out, we have lost a powerful ally but we still have the upper hand.” Palpatine nodded and said “Good, everything has transpired as planned.” Vader walked to a balcony and watched Stormtrooper’s boarding ships and getting ready for deployment, AT-AT’s marched to Barge’s the roar of engines was loud. The marching of soldier’s was thundering throughout Equestria, the Imperial War Machine was mobilized; the hope of winning was fading. TIE fighter's flew over head, and Star Destoryers began to enter light speed. On the Providence Carrier controlled by the Mandalorians, Gara and Aramis were overlooking the space, and they looked at each other, the peace was overwhelming. Gara and Aramis shared a kiss as the Slave 1 took off and flew off towards Equestria. > Dark Side Ending (Unoffical) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark Side Ending Twilight Levitated Sombra, Luna, Dahn, Shining, and Celestia. Twilight threw them into an elevator shaft. The elevator’s cable snapped, and the elevator went down. Twilight bowed before Vader and asked “What is thy bidding, my master?” Vader walked and got a red crystal and gave it to Twilight and said “Put this in your saber.” Gara, Aramis and Boba flew into lightspeed and flew towards a private Providence Class Carrier. As they landed Gara’s and Aramis’s ARC-170 was there. They got out and walked in the carrier’s armory, Gara stroked her old armor. Twilight was then in a shuttle, the shuttle lowered and flew towards Vanat’s surface. Celestia looked at the sky, and said “We have no hope.” On Equestria Storm Trooper’s where marching onto Acclamator II-Class Assault Ships. Slowly the ships took off flying into hyperspace to engage the enemies of the empire. Darth Vader watched the soldiers march by. Vader then turne around, and entered a meditation chamber. A long night has begun. But every night has a dawn. > Dark Magic Ending (Unoffical) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark Magic Ending Twilight’s eye’s glowed Purple, she shot dark magic at Vader, and Vader fell back and hit the ground. Twilight then shot magic at Dahn, Celestia and Luna. Twilight took up a dark mist of herself, and flew down to the Vanat fortress. Vader stood up, his helmet was damaged, his breath was labored, he then force pushed Dahn, Celestia, Luna and Shining down the elevator shaft. As they hit the shaft’s bottom but they didn’t die. Vader was standing in the bridge looking at the bodies, he turned away. Twilight was in Sombra’s castle, she had a new master. Twilight had a new mission to do. And for the mission to be completed, she needs to kill her former masters. On Equestria Storm Troopers where loading up cargo onto landers. The lander’s took off after that. Vader got onto his shuttle and left Twilight’s former Star Destoryer.
