Book 1: Acts of the old force.

Chapter 1: Force awaken

I felt the coldness of the floor and my body ached all over. I could barely move, and I was disoriented. I opened my eyes to see a white marble floor, the floor of a sith destroyer was made of sold metal. But, instead of the dark feeling of an imperial warship, the area felt warm and comforting.

I attempted to look around and see where I was at, but my vision was blurred and my eyes ached from the slight movement.   I saw shapes of something moving around me, but I could not determine what they were.

I was moved up wards by an unknown force, I could slightly feel it, it felt like the force, yet not the force. I different kind of energy, it was warm and soothing to my aching body. My vision improved as I was set down against a wall.

What I saw shocked me, it was a group of equine creatures wearing golden armor and pointing their spears at me, as if I was going to cause them harm. I reached for my light saber, but when I did, they moved their spears closer.

I attempted to speak, yet my throat stung and winced in pain. I still had my traditional robe and armor. My light saber was attached to my belt, along with a few med-packs.

I noticed a larger equine among the group. She told the others to be calm and lower their weapons. She looked to me with a curious look on her. I could tell she was female, after dealing with so many different species, one learns differences in males and females of each race.

I was only a human, nothing special, just a human with scars. I was young for a Jedi master, only in my late twenties. My green eyes had lost some color due to conflict with powerful sith and their power in the dark side and my hair has always been kept short. Long hair is just a hassle; it can get caught in many things, such a siths grip.

But, the Princess just looked at me; her white coat shined in the light of the room and next to her stood a shorter one. She was a midnight blue color, and I noticed they had both wings and a horn. One could easily tell they were royalty from the regale they wore.

The white one stepped forward and looked down at me. "I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria along with my sister. We do not know what you are or where you came from, you appeared in the throne room with a flash of light. So if you can, tell me, who are you." To her left stood another princess, much shorter, and she was a lavender color, she held a note pad out with a quill, apparently wanting to take notes.

I gripped my throat to try and tell them that my throat was too sore to speak. They understood and Celestia levitated a glass of water that I gladly accepted with a respectful nod and drank quickly.

I coughed and cleared my throat. "I am Jedi master Martian, Defender of the republic and all who are victims of the sith empire." I shakily stood up and propped my self on the wall. "I mean no harm, to you, or you subjects your highness." I gave as much of a respectful bow as I could. "I wish to have peace with you and everyone else here, and I must ask of my location. So, where exactly am I?" My voice was rugged and a tinge of imperial in it due to my father being an ex-Sith. I had married a sith my self, but I had not seen her in decades. She had to keep it a secret, as did I.

Celestia nodded. "Of course, peace would be most preferable. For where you are, you are in Canterlot castle, within the capital of Equestria.  I have never seen a species like yours; tell me, what are you?"

One of the guards brought a chair for me to sit in and I thanked him. I took a seat and calmed my mind for a second. "I am a human, from you not knowing what I am, I will gander that you have no knowledge of the Republic or the Sith Empire."

Celestia shook her head. "No I do not know of those, you can explain later if you would be so kind, but first, we must make sure you are unharmed. We would like our guests to be uninjured in anyway." She looked to the tow princesses next to her. "This is my sister Luna, and this is Twilight Sparkle. I will have Twilight and a few guards help you to the infirmary so we may check to make sure you are uninjured and the guards are to keep you from doing any harm, I am sorry, but I do not fully trust you yet. I hope you will understand why. I have a few matters to take care of; I must calm ponies that were startled by your appearance. I will meet you in the infirmary. I do look forward in talking some more of who you are."   Celestia and Luna took their leave out of the throne room doors, to deal with who I had apparently startled with my sudden appearance into the room.

I was helped up by two of the guards and Twilight took the lead. We moved through the halls of the castle till we entered the infirmary. I noticed a few winged ponies laying on the beds and a few nurses moving about.

A nurse came to greet Twilight, but I could not hear what they said, my vision went blurry and my hearing muffled. I felt like the world was spinning around me, the next thing I felt was the cold floor of the infirmary.

-----Several hours later-----

I awoke again to find my self laying on a white bed and to hear the noise of multiple voices, a few I recognized and I tried to listen in before I blacked out again.

I opened my eyes to see I was within the council room on Coruscant. I looked to see my old master, master Ke'l Vea'l. She was a Twi'lek. "Martian, I see you have found the sanctuary of you mind within the force. You might think I am your actual master, but I am just a memory. A figment of your mind if you will, as a Jedi, you learned what I taught you. So take this, keep your mind calm and focus on your current life, then once you are done, return to the old one. Goodbye Martian." The room flashed white and then it all went black.

-----Several more hours later-----

I heard Celestia, she was questioning about what had happened, but the nurse kept responding the same way, she honestly did not know.

I turned my head to see two guards at the door and Luna standing in front of the door. Celestia had noticed my movement and moved to the side of the bed. "I do hope you are okay, we would not want you to be injured anymore then you may be. Get some more rest, we can talk tomorrow." Celestia had begun to move away.

I sat up and looked to her. "I am fine, we can talk now, and I need not rest any longer. I must find out why I am here and what I am to do to return to where I came." I attempted to get out of the bed to only collapse to my knees.

I was levitated back onto the bed by Celestia. "You must rest, please, all your questions and mine, will be answered in the morning. Have a good rest Martian." Celestia then left with her sister and Twilight behind her. The guards stood outside the door before being replaced by guards wearing a dark blue armor and bat-like wings.

I closed my eyes and meditated till I fell asleep for the night; I would get answers tomorrow and hopefully find the reason of why and how I was brought to this place. I have met many different species during my time as a Jedi, but these equines were very unique and surprisingly kind to me. But, I let these thoughts wait for another time, I needed to rest. Tomorrow would be one of the more interesting days of my life; I have no doubt about that.

Chapter 2:  New life

I ran through the dark metal halls of the sith war ship, the red lights reflecting across the armor of I and my fellow troop. I was leading a small strike force on an assault on an imperial ship yard. One ship managed to leave dock and made it into hyperspace, with a republic strike force on board.

As we got to a large door, I ordered the five republic troopers to cover the passage while I and three other Jedi opened the door. As we opened the door, red blaster fire poured through, killing one of the Jedi.

Three of the troopers with assault cannons, turned their weapons on the enemy, unleashing a hellfire of blaster rounds, those commandos slowly pushed forward with the vanguards put up shields to give them cover.

I and the last two Jedi jumped over the troopers and pushed the imperial troops out of our way with ease. The force had guided us to our destination, Darth Taralgon

He was a pure blooded sith, and he was strong in the dark side of the force. The troopers opened fire, but the he simple blocked their shoots or dogged them. His double bladed light saber gave him the finesse needed to eliminate the troopers, he then used the force to propel him self towards a padawan, he put his saber through her abdomen, killing her.

The Jedi master with me attacked him head on, lading a few blows, but barely leaving a scratch. He was also killed quickly by Darth Taralgon.

It was me and him, one on one. We circled around the room before charging at each other, my blade met with his left arm and his with my right hand, causing me to drop my light saber.

He stepped over me and looked at me with his red eyes, as if he was peering into my soul. "Such a pity, I was hoping for a Jedi that could actually give me a good fight, oh well. Can't always have what we wish for, now can we?" He placed his blade over my chest, hovering above my heart. "Any last words Jedi scum!?"

I spit at him. "You'll die soon, sith." With that, he put his blade through my heart, but, instead of feeling the pain and sting of the blade piercing, I just felt cold, and saw only darkness. I closed my eyes tight, hoping for this to be over.

I opened my eyes to see white, I felt sluggish, and my senses were confused. I sat up; I was lying on a white bed.  I took a moment to remember where I was, I was in Equestria.

I remembered the three princesses; there was Celestia, Luna, and Twilight. I got out of the bed and stretched out my sore limbs. I noticed I still had my armor on, so I went to the process of removing the armor and leaving the robe and undergarments on.

I still kept my light saber attached to my belt, so incase of hostiles, I would be able to act quickly. A Jedi is never unarmed fully, they always have the force.

I went to leave the room, but was stopped by a white pony that seemed to be the doctor or nurse of this medical area. I did as they said and waited in the room for Princess Celestia to arrive.

When she did, I of course gave a respectful bow and showed my full attention. "Your highness, it is a pleasure to see you yet again. What is it that you require before I make my leave?"

Celestia had a gentle smile and told the guards they could go and take a break.   She sat across from me and studied me closely. She was curious, and any one would be if they had a strange creature pop into their world unexpectedly. "Tell me Martian, what is it that you intend to do now, obviously unable to return form where you're from, what is it that you will do?"

I took a moment to think, but nothing came to my mind, I could not just do simply anything. I was a warrior, and I couldn't just drop that way of life that I held for so long. Then it came to me, I could be the first Jedi of the republic to fight along side what force Celestia has. It seems to only be guards, for I have yet to see any major military structure yet, taking in consideration I had yet to leave the castle.

I looked around, just so I might be able to clear my mind and think. I am a warrior of the Republic; I can't be anything but a warrior in skill. Never a weaver or a weapon tech, I was and still am a warrior. I looked to Celestia. "I have only one thing that comes to my mind. I will offer my skills as a warrior to you and nothing else. I'm no diplomat, even if I have defused many situations, I am no cook, and I am no cloth weaver. I am a warrior, and I offer my skills. Will you accept?"

Celestia closed her eyes and nodded. "A warrior indeed Martian, and I know the perfect place. It is a small town called Ponyville; Princess Twilight gained her own castle only just little over a year ago. So her own guard has just been formed, you may take the place of an officer. Truthfully, I do not know why I trust you, but I just have that feeling that you are a good pon-er..Human, that would be the correct term, right?"

I lightly laughed. "Actually, it would be 'A good person.' Just a small thing, but I am not the only species from where I am from, there are thousands and still more. Intelligent or not, it will take some time to find every single species." I smiled at her. "I do believe that my time here will only be filled with some crazy adventures, and I can't wait to get to it. So, when do we leave for Ponyville?"

Celestia smiled and after a loud 'pop,' we were in a completely different place. "Magic dose travel wonders, now that we are here, you should meet the elements of harmony." She motioned towards a group of six ponies and a small lizard like creature.

I gave a shallow bow. "Hello there, I am Martian; it is a pleasure to meet you all." As I looked at them, they all seemed to have their own reactions to me.

The Cyan one with the rainbow mane seemed ready to attack me if I was to do anything wrong, while a yellow one with a pink mane tried to calm her. They both had wings, which means they could fly, but the ratios were all wrong; maybe some sort of magic was involved.

I saw a white unicorn with a note pad with a pen, and a tape measure. She seemed to take interest in what I was wearing, she was writing down all sorts of things, such as designs and color ideas. The Orange one next to her eyed me and then smiled and tipped her hat.

I noticed a pink one being held in place by Princess Twilight's magic, she seemed to shake with excitement and held a calming aura. She seemed to be doing movements to attempt an escape from the magic hold, and the movement seemed physically impossible. I saw as well a green and purple lizard giving me an 'I'm watching you' look,

Princess Twilight waved a hoof at me, greeting me. I returned it with my own wave, I was curious about this place, I looked around, it looked like it had taken many years to build such a place, it seemed to be built out of some sort of crystal.

I looked to Princess Twilight. "Princess Twilight, how long did it take for such a structure to be built? It seems like it would have taken many years to build it. "

She responded with a small laugh. "Don't call me 'Princess.' There's no need for it, I don't think friends need to call me that, or anyone for that matter. Oh, and it only took a few seconds, I'll tell you the story later." She opened a large door with her magic. "Come on, we have thing to discuss, just fallow me."

I fallowed her into a large room; it was a library, full of books. I took one off a shelf and began reading it, the information was mind blowing. I have seen and heard of many strange things, but the creatures of this land were very interesting.  "If you don't mind, I would like to spend as much time as I could in here, there is so much information. I might not be consular, but a Jedi must know his environment."

Twilight found amusement in what I had said. "Of course, you may come down here any time you wish, but we must first discuss things. Such as you meeting my friends, and all of Ponyville. Knowing Pinkie Pie, she'll have a party already set up, ready to pop up out of no where."

I continued to fallow her, thinking about how my life was going to be here, what I was to be doing here. As an officer of her guard, I would be bound to protect her, and I will. I meet her friends, and we did have said party. I was to stay in the castle till a proper house was set up or found for me to live in.

I was exited to live here, and I also had my fears. I had a feeling the Sith empire was soon to destroy this peaceful land, just like all others. They cared not for anyone's peace, they wanted power, and would stop at nothing to do so. I hoped the Republic would get here before them, till then, I would be an acting officer in Twilight's royal guard.
