Star Wars: Clones in Equestria
Chapter 1: "Lets Show em Who's Boss!"
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"This Song goes out to the clones working in the Coruscant system, keep that planet safe boys." Said the Holographic Disk Jockey.
"Bah, those Coruscant clones have all the fun, there is more action there than out here." Complained Joker.
"Shut up already Joker, The Sergeant doesn't like whiners." Replied Nine.
Joker sighed and looked back at the Door, all he wanted to do was be on the Front Line, fighting the clankers. Not out monitoring Location after location, it was peace and quiet, something Joker always hated.
"SERGEANT ON DECK!" Yelled one clone Spontaneously, Startling Joker and Nine.
"At ease Soilders, Joker, may I have a word with you?"
"Whatever." Joker said with an annoyed Tone.
Joker and the Sergeant walked out onto the landing pad, where the Deck Sergeant was.
"CT-0956, why don't you head inside, I gotta speak to Joker."
"Yes Sir." Replied CT-0956.
"So, what's on your mind oh high mighty sergeant?"
"Very funny Joker, listen some of the boys have been complaining about you, saying things like "At this rate, the clankers are going to win." and "I could do Rex's Job better than him." Why are you saying these things." asked, politely, The Sergeant.
"Because I wanna be on the frontline, I wanna fight the droids! Not sit here and moniter this cold barren rock!" Yelled Joker.
"Calm down soldier." The Sergeant said, calming Joker down.
"Im sorry, its just, im not being used to my full potential, and I want destroy some droids is all."
"You know your orders Soldier." Said the Sergeant, patting Joker on the back.
The Sergeant looks up, and notices a meteor shower, in a panic, he orders the shield to be raised, and orders Joker inside.
<><><>
"Looks like the shower is letting up boys, CT-0956, do your job and scan for unknown life forms." Ordered the Sergeant.
CT-0956, nicknamed "Know-it-all" doesn't hesitate, He walks onto the deck platform and scans the area, and, as he thought, Nothing.
"Bah, im starting to agree with Joker, this is boring, ugh." Complains Know-it-all until something catches is eye.
"Now what is that?" Said Know-it-all.
Know-it-all scanned the area of where he saw a glistening light, and to much of his surprise, a droid Sniper who has him in his scopes, Know-it-all panics and runs into the building, right when the droid took his shot.
"Haha ya missed me Ya dumb clanker!" yelled Know-it-all.
Know-it-all runs into the building and immediately smashes the "Alert" button, sirens blare, red lights flash, and the clones are annoyed.
"Know-it-all, whats going on now? The cold giving you shivers?" asks Nine, Nine laughs.
Before Know-it-all gets to answer, they hear an explosion.
"CT-0529 and CT-1865, go and check it out." Orders the Sergeant.
The clones rush downstairs, only to be cut down by blaster fire. The word "Droids" Echoes through the building.
"We are under attack soldiers! We need to defend this outpost! Get to the armory now, ill hold them off!" Yells the Sergeant.
"You heard him! lets move!" Yells Joker.
"This is what you wanted right Joker? To fight droids?" Asks Know-it-all.
The seven clones rush to the Armory, and grabs thermal detonators, Blaster Rifles, and even Sniper Rifles. The rush back to Reinforce the Sergeant, who himself has already killed 3 Commando Droids.
"Its 'Bout time you got here, they wont let up!" yells, jokingly, the Sergeant.
The clones and droids exchange fire for about 10 minutes before the droids inflict 2 casualties. The droid commando captain charges with his Vibroblade.
"Look out The droid is rushi- Ahhhh!" Yells CT-0372, right before getting his head sliced off.
"We need to fall back! Move move!" Franticly orders the Sergeant.
"Chase the clones down!" Orders the Droid Captain.
"Roger Roger." The other droids say in unison.
<><><>
The 5 clones retreat to the Starfighter Port. All the Fighters are being repaired. But a Fully operable Prototype LAAT Catches Jokers Eye.
"Alright men, we make our stand here! Lets Show em Who's Boss!" Yells the Sergeant, who is desperately trying to keep morale high.
As if on cue, and explosion hits the door, bursting it open, the clones rush for cover. Blasterfire rings out, CT-9751, Nicknamed "Noobie", the newest member of the Rhen Var surveillance team, just Blindfires, not wanting to get hit.
"Im out of ammo! " Yells The sergeant.
The sergeant stays in cover, and the when the Droid captain gets close, The Sergeant attacks, using his fists in melee combat. The Droid stabs him, and leaves him to bleed to death.
"The sergeant is down!" Yells Know-it-all
"There's too many of them, we gotta get out of here!" yells Noobie.
"This isn't good, this isn't good!" Yells Nine.
Joker looks back at the Prototype LAAT. He then Remembers that they have a Hyperspace Drive and Noobie, being the pilot he sorta is, knows about it too. Joker motions Nine and Noobie to run for it. Without hesitating, they run towards the LAAT, and then Noobie motions Joker and Know-it-all to follow, knowing Jokers plan. Noobie and Nine cover the Retreat, and when Joker and Know-it-all is onboard, they take off. Noobie, having been trained in the pilot Simulation with the intentions on being a pilot, Flies the Soldiers out of the base, and jumps into hyperspace, away from Rhen Var.
"Oh no, the Clones have Escaped." Says one Droid Commando.
"General Grievous is going to deactivate us." Says another.
"Don't worry, I have placed a Tracking Beacon on the Republic ship, we will be able to find them before they report the attack!" Says the Droid Captain.
<><><>
The LAAT comes out of hyperspace, light-years away from Rhen Var.
"Ugh, it feels like we have been in hyperspace for 5 years, where are we?" Complains Joker.
"I believe we are in space." Replies Know-it-all. Causing Nine to laugh.
"Ah hell, you two are hopeless. Noobie, where are we?"
"Hell if I know, but uhhhh. I see a planet in the distance, no separatist or Republic fleets surrounding it. Should I take us there?"
"Why not? I mean we just escaped a bloodbath and left our Sergeant to die, of course fly us there, that we can get eaten by Giant Womp Rats, or Rancors, or something."
"So is that a yes or no?"
"YES FLY US THERE!"
"Ok Joker calm down." Nine speaks up.
For 5 minutes the ride is silent, the clones saw their brethren die in front of them. None wanted to talk, Joker took his helmet off and shot a look at Nine, the look told Nine that Joker wanted to shoot himself.
"Uhhhh, Joker?"
"What is it?"
"Im getting close to the planet, but im losing control of the piloting, I think we are going to crash on the surface!"
"Ah hell, All right men, brace for impact!" Joker yells franticly.
The LAAT plummets to the surface, and just like that, Darkness comsumes the vision of the 4 clones.

Celestia sits in her throne room, reading a letter Twilight sent to her about Friendship. When her sister calls her.
"My sister! I need you up here immediately!" Calls out Princess Luna.
Celestia gets up and trots up the observatory tower, where her sister spent most of her time. Hearing the tone of her voice, Princess Celestia knew is was urgent.
"What is it Luna? Is something wrong?"
Luna hands a telescope to her sister and points at a specific region in the sky, right over Ponyville. Princess Celestia looks through the Telescope, and what she sees befuddles her. A white and red metallic object falling from the sky, heading for the Everfree Forrest.
"Luna........What is this? Is this your doing?" Asked Celstia.
"No sister, it is not, for I would never pull....whatever that thing is, out of the sky for no reason." Luna Answers.
"We better send word to Twilight Sparkle about this, no doubt when it lands, she will investigate. Luna, send a battalion of Guards to Ponyville." Celestia franticly orders.
"Yes my sister."
<><><>
"Well, what did you find?" Asks Grievous, after coughing.
"We found a Republic base, we nearly killed all the clones, but 4 escaped." Reported the Droid Captain.
"You incompetent fools!"
"Sir, wait! We placed a Tracking Beacon on the Ship they escaped in, after we take Rhen Var, we could go after them."
"Hmmm, maybe you aren't a waste of credits after all....*cough cough*.....We will destroy them after we take Rhen Var. hehehe"
With that, Grievous Turns of the Holographic Communicator, and Prepares for the hunt...
