Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The clones look at Sarge. Sleeping on a bench when he was supposed to be socializing with others so they don't get kicked out. Joker and Noobie, who still have 3 fillies that call themselves "The Cutie Mark Crusaders", The name that made Joker ACTUALLY laugh, following them, asking them questions and when they get their answer, they get excited.

"Yep we flew here in a spaceship that we call an LAAT, it was a prototype though." Noobie said, smiling under his helmet.

"Whats a "LAAT"? Whats a "Proto-?" Scootaloo said.

"C'mon Scootaloo, its getting late!" Applebloom Interrupted.

"Yeah, it is, I guess we can ask them more questions tomorrow." Scootaloo said.

The CCCs run off, towards a farm. Noobie focuses his attention on Sarge, every other clone was looking right at him.

"What?" Noobie asks, shrugging while asking.

"Hehe." Nine chuckled.

The clones then look towards Sarge. Joker debates on kicking him awake, but it seems loud noises coming from inside the Tree already woke him.

"Snnnnng... uuuhhh, huh?? Whats.... Where am I?" Sarge sleepily asked.

"Ponyville, your sleeping on a bench you lazy slob." Joker said.

"Im not lazy, or a slob. I used to give you orders! Also, where are those noises coming from?" Sarge asked.

"The Tree. Know-it-all must be hard at work on either the hole, the blaster, or both." Noobie said.

"Well he better be working on that blaster." Sarge Says as he gets up and stretches.

The clones walk into the building to see that the loud noises have stopped. And that Know-it-all is working on the blaster and chatting with Twilight. Spike is nowhere to be seen. The hole in the 2nd floor is also fixed.

"Yeah, Yeah I've only been here for......a day I think? Maybe six hours. And I already like that that book, I think I read it while waiting for.....Princess Celestia? Yeah her." Know-it-all says as he fiddles with the sights on the Droid Blaster.

"Yeah the "Stories of the Constellations" is really good. Oh, seems like your friends are back." Twilight said, noticing the Clones.

"Brothers. Anyways, Know-it-all, I see you have been busy." Nine said while Twilight left the room.

"Yeah, the hole is fixed, OH and Sarge, this blaster you got here is a E-5 Blaster Rifle." Know-it-all said.

"Is that good? Im a little behind on my Blasters." Sarge asked.

"It is very powerful, its light, but its also very inaccurate. You better aim down the sights when you use this." Know-it-all said.

"If I ever use it." Sarge mutters.

"Well, speaking of technology." Joker said as he sits down on a pile of books.

Joker takes his helmet off, then looks at the clones, they stare back.

"Noobie, I am pretty sure you got something to say." Joker said.

"Sir, I told you already that it isn't necessarily a good thing." Noobie said.

"When did you become me?" Know-it-all asked.

"Yeah, I think we deserve to know whatever your hiding." Nine said.

"Im not hiding anything!!!!" Noobie yells. Noobie glances over at the window to see ponies outside staring at the house/library.

"Then tell us." Sarge calmly said.

"Fine Fine! You bastards wont listen to me afterwards, and you wont leave me be now so I might as well. Back at the LAAT, when Joker said "We have to go back" or whatever, I don't remember exactly what he said, but I don't care. Now anyways I clicked a few buttons, and connected a few wires in the SOS beacon thing and I probably should not have done that. But when Joker left the LAAT, I checked to see what I did, so it turns out that the SOS beacon will reach Republic space in about three days rather than five. But see, the thing is-" Noobie explained, but got interrupted by Nine.

"Then that's good!" Nine celebrated. His helmet wasn't on firm enough and when he jumped, his helmet fell off.

"Uhhhh.... No....No no no no that's not good." Noobie said, shaking his head and looking down.

"What are you talking about? Thats great news!" Know-it-all said.

"NO IT ISNT! If that beacon could reach Republic space in three days, it COULD reach Separatist space very soon as well, I cant estimate that." Noobie said. Taking off his helmet to take a breath of fresh air to calm his nerves.

Nine's celebrating ends abruptly when he hears those words. Know-it-all just stares. Sarge is off in dreamland as he isn't even paying attention to the clones, he is just staring into space. Joker sighs.

"I tried to tell Jok- Sarge are you even listening?!" Noobie raises his voice.

"Huh? Oh yeah yeah you said a bunch of vowels right?" Sarge said, snapping back into reality.

Silence fills the room. A good 5 minutes of awkward silence passes before Noobie continues.

"No...What? No no, well maybe yes I DONT KNOW! Again, I tried to tell Joker, but he brushed me off. Now you all know, now you all know the severity of this situation. And its all my fault! We will be bringing harm to these ponies. A-" Noobie says as he starts sobbing.

"Noobie, start acting like a man. And we will be bring harm to these ponies? DID YOU NOT SEE THOSE THINGS CALLED TIMBER WOLVES BACK IN THE FORREST? THE PONIES ARE ALREADY IN A DANGEROUS WORLD! WHAT WOULD WE DO TO BRING MORE HARM?" Nine yells.

"THE MARCH OF THE CONFEDERATION!" Noobie retaliates.

With those words, silence again fills the room. Joker's eyes are widened. Sarge's mouth is wide open, possibly realizing what could happen. Know-it-all's expression cant be seen as his helmet is on. And Nine is just looking at Noobie.

"The Confederacy will march on Equestria or WHATEVER THIS PLANET IS CALLED, and they will kill.....EVERYTHING!" Noobie says.

"And if the Confederacy got here before the Republic. We would be the only REAL defense to these creatures. I don't think those damn goldie guards could even take one droid down, let alone a Sith acolyte or master or whatever! AND....And.... AND-" Noobie bursts out. Joker tries to calm him down.

"Noobie, Noobie, calm down, take a moment to breath. Now why didn't you bring this up earlier at the crash site? This would've been useful to know." Joker said, getting up and putting his helmet on, but not before Twilight and her friends walk in.

"Well FIRST OF ALL, WE WERE UNDER ATTACK BY TIMBER WOLVES, DEFENDING PONIES. AND TRYING NOT TO GET STABBED AND FORCED TO KILL GOLDIE GUARDS. WHY DO YOU THINK I DIDNT MENTION IT AT THE TIME?!!!?" Noobie yells, before noticing the ponies that just entered.

The clones realize they have a lot of explaining to do....
