Star Wars: Clones in Equestria
Chapter 2: "What the....?"
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHeavy breathing fills the now destroyed LAAT. Sounds of Anguish echo through the forest. Joker is the first to wake up, his vision is blurry, and blood is splattered on the inside of his helmet. He looks around, and sees Nine Suspended upside down by hanging wires, Know-it-all is lying on the floor, helmet cracked, and Noobie somehow managed to get himself stuck behind the pilot seat, the door to the cockpit is nowhere to be seen.
"Ugh.....Nine......You ok? Joker asks while trying not to cough up blood.
No answer. Joker puts on his helmet, the blood impairs his vision. Joker gets up, and coughs 3 times, he starts walking towards Nine, but he trips on Know-it-all.
"Ahhh, ow." Pain fills Jokers body. The crash must've chipped his bones.
After getting up and kicking Know-it-all, Joker walks over to Nine and cuts him down, Nine falls and upon hitting the ground, Nine wakes up.
"Uhhh,oww what the hell!" Yelled Nine.
"Sorry Nine, had to get you down somehow."
"hmph."
Joker, instead of worrying about Know-it-all, walks over to the cockpit, and immediately starts trying to pull Noobie out from behind the Seat. Noobie is already awake.
"Hi, you mind not ripping my arm off? Thanks." Noobie said, oblivious to any pain he has.
"Ahhh shut the hell up Noobie."
After 3 minutes of pulling, Joker finally frees Noobie.
"So Noobie, how did you get stuck." Joker asked.
"I...I don't know just woke up here." Noobie said, causing Nine to laugh.
"Well, are you injured?" Asked Joker.
"No, I don't feel any pain, but are you alright, I see blood on your helmet."
"Im, Ugh....Fine." Joker says, right as a sharp pain hits him in his side.
Noobie looks over Jokers shoulder, and sees Nine trying to revive Know-it-all.
"Joker, maybe you should go help Nine, Know-it-all is still unconscious." Suggests Noobie.
"Oh him, id rather drag him then listen to him." Joker admits.
"I got him up!" Yelled Nine, oblivious to what Joker had said.
"He...Hey! We're alive!" Joyfully said Know-it-all.
"No duh." Said Nine.
Joker tunes out his comrades, and looks at the damaged LAAT door. He walks over to it, and pushes on it.
"Hrrrgh, Noobie....Nine... Hrruuuuu.... Help me push this.... Hrggggh... Thing out of the way!" Ordered Joker.
"Since when did you become Commander Cody?" Asked Nine as he walks over to the door.
After five minutes of pushing, the door finally becomes loose and falls off, revealing what Joker had feared, a forest.
"Great. Just great! Lost in the middle of nowhere, on some neutral planet that could be hostile to outsiders. Can our lives get any better?" Screams Joker.
"Never seen Joker this mad since he was turned down for Delta Squad, heck Sev nearly gave Joker a bloody nose when he went on a rant about how useless they were going to be without him." Know-it-all said to Noobie.
"I CAN HEAR YOU, BASTARD!"
Know-it-all and Joker start arguing and finally, after a half hour, finally come to an impasse.
"Fine, fine, can we just get out here, this forest is menacing." Know-it-all submits.
"Hmph, fine, grab the blasters Noobie, if they are salvageable, and grab some Communication Devices if you can, these LAAT's always have spare parts." Orders Joker.
"Yes sir."

"Sooo, how far is this...flying object?" asks Rainbow Dash.
"I can still see the smoke, so I have to estimate its in the Everfree Forest. Not far from the edge id wager." Twilight replys.
"I wonder if its aliens, ooooh maybe they would like a party, maybe I should go and buy cake, ooh no, CUPCAKES!!!!!!!!" Exclaimed Pinke Pie, who somehow managed to appear on the top of a chimney, she was standing next to Twilight three seconds ago after all.
"I highly doubt its aliens, probably just a fallen star or something." Twilight says.
Twilight, having already received a letter from her mentor, Princess Celestia, and a violent explosion that followed it, has gathered her friends, and currently waiting for the battalion of guards to arrive.
"Are ya sure what she said was true? A red and white metallic object fallin' from the sky? Unless it was a Pegasus, then it is probably nothin." Applejack questions, not sure of what the princess had saw.
"She wrote that she is pretty sure of what she saw." Twilight said, very sure of what her mentor had written.
A loud noise breaks the conversation into silence, scaring Fluttershy into cowering behind some bushes.
"Fluttershy, its alright, whatever it is, we can take them!" Rainbow Dash said, trying to calm down Fluttershy, as she is shivering uncontrollably.
"Come on ponies, we need to investigate, Fluttershy, if you wanna stay behind go ahead." Twilight decides.
"N...No...Its alright... Ill come with you girls."
"Ok."
"As much as I would love to walk around in a....forest, but shouldn't we wait for the guard?" Rarity said, as if trying to avoid walking into the Everfree.
"We should go anyway, the guards will catch up. We need to see if it is evil or not, if it is anything." Twilight said.
With that said, the 6 ponies begin their foray into the Everfree Forest.

"Ha..haha Sir, I was able to salvage 2 DC-17 Hand Blasters and 1 DCA-15A Blaster Rifle. I was also able to get a Message of Rescue into the LAAT communication, amazingly, they still work! The message should reach Republic space in 5 days." Noobie reported.
"Good Job soldier, ill take the DCA-15A Blaster Rifle, Nine can have one hand blaster, and Noobie, you can have the other one." Joker decided.
"Hey what about me?" Asked Know-it-all.
"You can go to hell." Joker remarked.
Know-it-all trys to say something, but all that comes out is a grunt. Strange Noises, and howling catches the ear of the clones.
"What the hell was that?" Noobie asked, worrying for his own safety.
"I don't know, Soldiers, remember training? Bravo Formation Code 45G19...NOW!" Ordered Joker.
"Joker I gotta talk to you about your leadership problem, but for now, lets escape death...ok?" Know-it-all said as he hid in the LAAT.
"I GOT MOVEMENT!" Yelled Nine.
"They are Surrounding us!" Noobie said as he panicked.
"Stay in formation." Joker ordered.
The clones could see green eyes, and wolf-like shapes in the darkness, the got closer, and closer, till they attacked.
"CONTACT, LIGHT EM UP!" Joker yelled!
Without second thought, The clones shoot the figure charging at them, Noobie overheats his Hand Blaster within three seconds. The creature drops dead within 4 seconds.
"Ha, got him!"
"Don't get cocky yet Nine, I see 3 more!" Yelled Joker.
The creatures just watch the clones, and the clones watch them, they exchange looks for 2 minutes before the creatures charge.
"FIRE FIRE!"
The clones fire with out end, dropping the wolf-like creatures instantly.
"Ha, we are alive! WE DID IT!" Celebrated Joker.
"It seems you have." Know-it-all said, as he cowered.
Noobie investigates the creatures.
"Hmph, Joker, you wont believe this, but these creature are made out of wood."
"Hmmm, I guess that explains why they broke into pieces."
"Well they didn't scare me." Nine said as he walks over the corpses.
Nine looks over at Know-it-all, Nine, and Joker, who seemed to be looking up.
"What are ya looking at guys?"
"That."
Know-it-all points up, and Nine looks up,revealing that those creatures, with there wooden parts, created a much larger creature, that is staring down at him.
"Hmmmm, right.... ummmm.... Boy uhh... RUUUUN!" Nine yelled, and with that, the clones take off, with the wooden creature in full pursuit.
"What the Hell is that thing????" Nine yelled as he ran.
"For once, I DONT KNOW!" Yelled Know-it-all, Know-it-all, with a crack in his helmet impairing his vision, runs into a tree.
"Know-it-all!" Nine yells.
Nine and Noobie and stop running, causing Joker to stop and help Know-it-all as well, as much as he hates him.
"Nine, help Know-it-all up, Noobie, shoot that thing!"
Joker and Noobie fires at the Giant creature. Noobie gets a lucky shot and a blaster round hits the eyes of the creature, blinding it, and knocking it to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
"KEEP YOUR SIGHTS TRAINED ON IT! IT MIGHT REBUILD!"
"I got Know-it-all up! Watch where ya going next time!"
"Sorry, my helmet is cracked, probably from the crash."
All four clones look at the at the supposedly dead animal, but the wood was gone, not a trace of it.
"Its...Gone?" Know-it-all asked.
"I think we either killed it, or chased it off, either way, we need to return to the LAAT wreckage, make sure Noobie set up the SOS beacon properly, and get out of here before those things return." Joker said.
"Agreed." The other clones said simultaneously.

Twilight and her friends are walking towards the smoke, when loud noises, and yelling catches their ears.
"Whats the noise?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"FIRE FIRE" is heard in the distance.
"Sounds like fighting, maybe the guards are already here?" Twilight suggests.
"Ah don't know, doesn't sound like anypony ive ever 'eard." Applejack says.
"Lets check it out, MAYBE IT IS ALIENS, im telling you they would love cupcakes." Pinkie Said, rushing towards the smoke.
Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rarity chase after Pinkie, and when they catch up to her, what they see is astonishing.
"Woah, that looks cool!" Rainbow Dash says as she gets closer for a better look.
"I...is it D-d-dangerous?" Fluttershy inquires.
"I don't think so, OW... Look out for broken glass." Twilight says, after stepping on tiny pieces of glass.
Twilight and her friends investigate it. Finding nothing dangerous about it, aside from broken glass everywhere.
"Whoever, or whatever was here is gone now. We should head back and get the guard to further investigate this....thing. Its too dangerous here." Twilight decides.
<><><>
Joker, Nine, Noobie, and Know-it-all, rush back to the wreckage. Joker, knowing Noobie, has to make sure he set up the SOS properly.
"Hey, men hold up!" Joker said quietly.
"What is it?" Asked Noobie.
"I see something moving around the wreckage." Joker said.
"Must be another one of those things." Know-it-all said.
"Ok, on the count of 3, we rush them."
"1"
"2"
"3...GO!"
"FOR THE REPUBLIC!" Yells the clones, except Know-it-all, who instead just watches, seeing how he in unarmed.
Joker leads the charge, Nine and Noobie follow. But instead what they find are six equine-like colorful creatures.
"What the....?" Joker Said.
