Star Wars: Clones in Equestria

The morning shines high in the sky, but not in the basement, as Noobie is propped up against a wall, still sleeping from the spell casted on him, Nine is sleeping comically on the floor, Know-it-all sleeping in as serious way, Sarge sleeping in a chair, and Joker awake. Joker has been awake since dawn, its now morning, 9:30 tops. Joker has been pacing back and forth, wall from wall, worrying about Noobie's words. 'The SOS could reach CIS space first! Could that happen? I don't want any of these ponies to die.' Joker thought. His pacing woke Nine.

"Huh, bactade discs?" Nine says as he wakes up from his dream.

"No such thing." Joker said as he continued to pace.

The pacing continues for 5 minutes. Nine just looks on, chuckling. Its obvious Joker has something on his mind. The pacing continues. Joker is beginning to breath heavily, the pacing speeds up. Nine decides to stop this.

"Ok ok slow down, your gonna make a trench deep enough that even Jabba's rancor cant get out of." Nine says.

"Im sorry, just caught up in a thought." Joker says, finally ending the pacing.

"So, what's on your mind, Paco?" Nine asks.

Joker sits down uncomfortably. Nine begins to ponder at why Joker is beginning to freak out. ' Could it be that we are on a planet that is populated by ponies? Or the fact that we might never get out of here? Hmmmmm' Nines train of thought gets interrupted by a word, a word uttered by Joker.

"The CIS." Joker says, that word even made Know-it-all shift in his sleep, Sarge slaps the air, and Noobie fall over. Noobie still doesn't wake up.

"How?......How do you not wake up from falling over?" Nine asks, befuddled.

"Noobie is a fortress of clone stone, Back during training days, I punched him in the side as hard as I could, no bruise." Joker admitted.

"Huh, learn something new everyday. Now what about the CIS?"

"I've been pacing back and forth, thinking about Noobie's words. About the CIS getting our SOS first." Joker said.

Those words made Nine quiet, for the first time.

<><><>

"DAMMIT! Why do I always lose at Pazaak? Why?" Scorch asks.

"Because you suck at it, now give me your credits." Sev coldly demands.

The G9 Rigger Freighter, "Outrunner" comes outta hyperspace near the SOS Planet. Its oddfully colorful, and looks as if it has not seen conflict within centuries. Fixer sighs at this, as that will change really fast. Boss stands up as the SOS beacon is lost.

"Commandos, we have lost the SOS beacon, we will have to pi-" Boss is interrupted by Fixer.

"One step ahead of ya Boss, I've already pinpointed the location of the SOS beacon. Im actually heading there now." Fixer says.

"Ah, good job. Well Commandos, prepare to land, I don't know what we will encounter, and I don't think whatever lives on this planet will be friendly to outsiders, lets hope our clone buddies down there are still alive. GEAR UP!" Boss orders.

Sev loads his DC - 15x sniper rifle, checking it twice to make sure it doesn't jam. Scorch fiddles with his Thermal Detonators, luckily not blowing up the ship. Fixer looks at his DC - 15A blaster rifle and knocks it over, chuckling silently. Boss readies his DC-17 hand blaster, and looks towards the planet, sighing deeply. He has a bad feeling about this.

<><><>

"Get that SOS beacon down! We cant have any Clones following this signal!" The Droid Commando Captain orders.

"Roger Roger."

3 droids walk into the destroyed  Prototype LAAT, while the other 3 stand guard outside, strange noises surround them, eyes watching them from the darkness.

"Sir, I have a bad feeling about this." Unit 083 says.

Blasting noises come from inside the LAAT, the SOS beacon and message has been destroyed. Howling surrounds the droids.

"Get out here Units 555 439 and 723, we got contacts!" Unit 969 orders.

The three droids rush outside to see a creature made of wood with yellow eyes looking at them. Then 3 more appear, then more and more appear, totaling into 12 wolf-like creatures circling them.

"WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? BLAST THEM!" Unit 969 orders.

The 6 droids open fire on the Wolves, killing 2 immediately as the blaster rounds hit the eyes. The wolves attack, pouncing on Unit 555, tearing him limb from robotic limb. Unit 328 goes into a panic, overheating his Blaster Pistol in 2 bursts. Unit 969 pulls out his Vibroblade, and charges the nearest creature, and thrusts the sharp end into the head of the tree wolf, disabling the brain activity of the creature, killing it. The remaining wolves retreat into the forest, receiving 4 losses to the pack.

"We....We lost Units 555 and 439, sir. We need to leave this forest before those things come back...." Unit 328 says.

"I agree, lets get a move on." Unit 969 orders.

<><><>

"You sure about this? You sure that the CIS could get here?" Nine asks.

"Yes I'm pretty sure, I didn't think it could happen before, but after thinking, it probably can, and will. And I don't want it to happen." Joker says.

"I...I don't know what to say to all this." Nine says.

"We need to remain vigilant, if the CIS do find us, we are the only defense, I don't even think the princesses and their Goldie guards, and from what I've learned from Ms. Luna, her Darkness Guards, could take even a Battle Droid down." Joker admitted.

"I'm inclined to agree with you." Nine added.

"Well, im gonna go take a walk on the outskirts of town. I will be back later." Joker said as he got up.

"Alright, ill just sit here and think about playing pazaak."

Joker got up and walked upstairs, leaving Nine to think about nothing at all.

<><><>

The "Outrunner" lands outside a dark forest. Delta Squad exits the transport, and surveys their area. Colorful, just like the exterior of the planet.

"Sir, the area looks clear, and, from my scans, there is a settlement two klicks from here, should we start our search their?" Fixer asks.

"Yes we should. But we shouldn't make contact directly, lets move out." Boss orders.

Delta Squad goes into defensive formation as they walk the edge of the Dark, scary looking forest. Always alert, always having the feeling someone is watching, or something.

<><><>

The droids come out of the forest, and the first thing they see, are 3 small animals, with different colors, White yellow and orange. Unit 969 walks over to the orange little winged creature and picks it up. Fear takes over the face of the small creature, the droids laugh.

"What...What is that thing captain? Bwahhh hahahaha!" Unit 328 asks. Laughing like a wampa when it gets it meal.

"I don't know? Its a living thing...It isn't posing a threat, but its so small is probably on the bottom of the food chain here... Wanna blast it?" Unit 969 asks.

The droids raise their blasters as the captain holds the little winged orange creature in the air, the creature begins to struggle, while the other small creatures stare in fear. A Blaster round hits Unit 969 in the head, immediately destroying him.

<><><>

As Joker leaves the library, he hears loud noises coming from the Everfree forest, but brushed it off as creepy things call that hellish place, their home. With a DC-17 in hand, Joker walks towards the outskirts of town, hoping for a small, nice walk, in exchange for memory's of war. Joker and his friends, and his new friend Know-it-all, have almost began to become native. Liking the fact where there is no war, only happiness. Where civility reigns, not blasters and strong words. But their duty as clones in the Grand Republic calls to them, War is built into a clone, where a clone is, war will be, that's what got Joker scared for these ponies. A clone is made for war, and half the clones he met, have met a grisly and sad death, which sometimes were just coincidental, but some were just overkill. Jokers train of thought was interrupted by a robotic voice.

"I don't know? Its a living thing...It isn't posing a threat, but its so small is probably on the bottom of the food chain here... Wanna blast it?"

Joker grabbed his Blaster Pistol, he knew what it was....Droids...They have found the planet. Being a little ways from the town already, Joker doesn't worry about firing his blaster and causing a panic, as a panic in Equestria has already been caused by the arrival of the clones. Joker takes cover behind a tree, and looks at the droids, the captain-looking-droid is holding....Scootaloo?! In the air, and the droids are about to blast her, Joker acts fast, and takes aim. Joker fires a single round, saving Scootaloo and her friends. The droid captain falls over dead, and the CMCs run, escaping the impending battle.

"Captain! Look there is a clone! Blast him!" One droid says.

"There is one of our objectives!" Another blurts out.

Blaster fire rings out, nearly killing Joker. Panicking, Joker gets on his radio, which is still intact, hoping Nines radio is still intact.

<><><>

Nine sits there, playing "Smack-a-clone" with Noobie, who is still snoozing. *SMACK* Nine smacks the helmet again. *SMACK SMACK*  Nine smacked Noobie again, for some reason, he is having fun.

"Numph....Nine.....Erph.......Outnumbered.....Need........help.......Droids.......Everfree forest......Leplh....." Nine listens to his muffled radio.

Nine takes out his radio to listen to whats left.

"I will repeat! Nine, wake up the others and help! The droids have found us and are attacking me! I am near the Everfree forest! HURRY!" Joker yells on his radio as blaster fire rings out in the background.

"Noobie wake up already!" Nine yells, smashing Noobie's helmet with his fist, waking up Noobie. Noobie wakes up with a grudge.

"HIT ME AGAIN AND I WILL SHOVE YOUR FIST UP YOUR ASS!" Noobie threatens. Nine is taken back by the threat.

The yelling woke up Know-it-all and Sarge. Sarge gets up and kicks Noobie's helmet.

"Shut up you bastard...I was having a wonderful dream of bactade!" Sarge said.

"Me too! But that's not important! Hurry grab your weapons, Know-it-all, you don't have a weapon, so just follow us!" Nine ordered.

"Your not Joker!" Sarge said.

"I've been hit! Help!" Joker said over the radio.

"Wha? Joker...Where is he!" Know-it-all asked.

"UNDER ATTACK BY DROIDS! LETS GO!" Nine franticly yells.

The clones panic and grab their weapons, Know-it-all cracks his knuckles, which are still under his armor. They start up the stairs and open the door to the house, Sarge runs over Spike, who was opening the door to check on the clones. Know-it-all jumps over Twilight, who stares at the clones till they leave her sight. The clone sprint towards the loud noises coming from outside of town. As the outskirts near the Everfree forest get closer, the blaster fire becomes more clearer, they see a droid firing at Joker

"You only live once buddies! HAHA" Yelled Know-it-all, charging towards one droid.

"Never seen him excited before. Hmph" Nine murmured.

The clones takes cover at nearest cover they could find, except Know-it-all, who is struggling trying to rip an arm off of a droid while said droid is trying to fight off the attacking clone. Nine kneels next to Joker, who is behind a tree, holding his shoulder.

"'Bout time you got here! I'm bleedin', kill those damn droids!" Joker ordered.

The droids, not being in cover, are hit once and twice and over and over, yet they still don't fall.

"Aim for the head! I killed one of them that way!" Joker said.

"Im being suppressed over here!" Yelled Sarge, who is holding his Droid blaster.

"Damn it! Me too!" Noobie said. Know-it-all is still fighting the same droid he was fighting 2 minutes ago.

"Hell! That one grazed me!" Nine said. All clones are either suppressed or in Melee combat.

"Blind fire! DO SOMETHING I CANT SIT HERE ALL DAY!" Joker complained.

The clones blind fire when they are sure they wont get hit, minutes pass as the droids continue to load, and fire, load and fire, reload 'n' fire. But then a blade goes through one of the droids head. A blade belonging to a commando gauntlet.

<><><>

Boss leads the commando squadron through the field, they have already covered much ground between the landing point, and the village, Yellow eyes have been watching them, putting Boss on edge. As they advance towards the town, the sounds of blasters becomes clearer and clearer.

"Sir...Do you hear that?" Sev asks.

"Yeah....Blaster Fire.....There are droids here somewhere." Fixer concludes.

"You sure it isn't because of the yellow eyes watching us? Are you sure the clones are not shooting one of them? Or is it a droid shooting pretty eyes over there?" Scorch asks, pointing at they yellow eyes.

"Shut up." Sev says.

The clones continue along the edge of the forest, before something catches their eyes. A dead droid on the ground, they move towards to investigate, before they realize, this is where the blaster fire was coming from.

"Hey Fixer, you were right." Scorch said.

"Naturally."

"Ok commandos, we have found the clones, and they don't look so good. Lets get these damn droids." Boss rallies.

Sev runs up behind one of the droids and thrusts his gauntlet with a blade through the droids head, killing him instantly.

<><><>

As the last of the droids were mopped up by the clones, Joker, Sarge, Noobie, Nine and Know-it-all stare at who rescued them.... Delta Squad, Joker frowns at Sev. Know-it-all walks up to Sarge with a droid arm.

"Here you go . New souvenir." Know-it-all tosses Sarge a droid arm.

"Oh.....Thanks?" Sarge says.

The clones and Delta Squad all exchange glances before one finally pipes up.

"Hey hey Nine! How you been?" Scorch asks Nine.

"I've been better. Sir" Nine replies.

"Ok ok no need for the formalt-" Scorch begins, Boss cuts him off.

"Ok Scorch, quiet. Now first things first. Which one of you is in charge?" Boss asks.

The clones immediately point towards Joker, who is still bleeding.

"Yeah, its me. But back before we got here, Sarge was in charge, and he almost got us killed, with his "Lets show em Who's Boss!' stuff." Joker says. Delta squad looks at Sarge, Scorch walks up to him and swats him in the back of the head.

"Bad Sarge! Bad!" Scorch says disapprovingly, Nine chuckles at this.

"Hey! Bloody clone over here dying. Needs bacta." Joker says.

Fixer walks over to Joker and injects his wounded soldier with a bacta injection. Jokers bleeding ends and the strange sensation of feel-good that comes with a bacta injection starts.

"Thank you Fixer....Im just gonna sit here for a minute." Joker says, sounding like he is unaware of his surroundings.

"Ok....Anyways." Sarge says, punching Scorch in the face after a few seconds of staring.

"Hey! OW DAMMIT!" Scorch says.

"Calm down the both of you. There is not sense in beating each other up." Fixer says. Scorch and Sarge grunts.

"Hey check it out!" Know-it-all says, showing off a droid blaster he found.

"Yeah cool, same one I have." Sarge retaliates for no apparent reason.

The little reunion is ended as a small purple animal walks up to Joker.

"WOAH WOAH, What the hell is that?" Scorch asks, pointing his blaster at the thing. Boss, Sev, and Fixer does the same.

"Lower your weapons, its just a Unicorn, her name is Twilight and-" Sarge says.

"Huh...Whats going on? Oh hi Twilight." Joker says, recovering from his ecstasy state.

"You both know this Unicorn?" Sev asks.

"Long story, just lower your weapons and we will explain it to you, Twilight you might wanna sit down." Noobie says.

<><><>

"So.....These things can talk....And they are ruled by two Princesses?" Boss recollects.

"Kinda like the Chancellor." Sev says.

"Yeah. Now Twilight, I bet you have been wondering who they are. This is Sev, Scorch, Fixer, and Boss. Delta Squad." Know-it-all says.

"I've noticed their armor is different than your plain white armor." Twilight says.

"That's because they are commandos. They are more important than us." Joker says, glaring at Sev.

"Right..... Well anyways, I've been looking for you five, and seeing as how there are now more of you, this might be of concern. Princess Celestia requests that you all come to Canterlot, it seems urgent." Twilight says.

The clones look at each other. This cant be good.

<><><>

"Uh that train ride was terrible. All those ponies staring at us." Joker says.

"Hmph." Noobie grunts.

Delta Squad remains quiet as they enter the Royal Palace. Princess Celestia is sitting on her throne, Princess Luna nowhere to be seen. The Princess looks worried, and the sight of more clones increase her look of worry. Delta Squad, although it cant be seen under their helmets, their mouths are wide open. Twilight Sparkle and her friends, whom joined the train ride when Twilight and the clones arrived at the station, bowed to the princess. Joker, Know-it-all, Sarge, Noobie, and Nine kneels to the Princess, and Delta Squad kneel when they see what the others are doing.

"No need for the bowing, as there is something I must talk about. Guards, leave us please." Princess Celestia orders.

"As you wish your highness." One of the guards says.

"Before I say anything else though, I must ask why there is more clones." Princess Celestia says after the guards leave the Throne Room.

"We will explain it to you later. You had something urgent to tell us?" Joker says.

"Yes... Princess Luna said she had spotted something large in our planet's space, something that is similar to what you have told us about the CIS ships." Princess Celestia says.

The clones look at each other.

"No." Mutters Sarge.

<><><>

The CIS Fleet comes out of hyperspace near the planet.

"Sir."

"What?" General Grievous asks angrily.

"We have detected a planet near us, and the Republic ships are nearing our position." The droid reports.

"How long till they come out of hyperspace?" Grievous asks.

"Five minutes? They are hot on our trail."

"Grrrr... Take us close to the planet and prepare for landing." Grievous orders.

"Roger Roger."

At that moment, five Republic ships comes out of hyperspace, battle-ready.

"You incompetent fools! LAUNCH THE STARFIGHTERS *cough*" Grievous orders.

"Roger Roger."
