Star Wars: Rebellion of Trinket Squad
Prologue:Chapter 2: "What?"
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"We landed in a really grassy area.... It was very familiar.... But I pushed the thoughts back, I had to follow orders...." The Old clone says, voice cracking.
"I--- I had a feeling I knew where we were....But....I don't want to even talk...Just, I will be back..." Joker said, tears forming in his eyes, he walks out of the room, leaving you to sit and wait for his return.
<><><>
"The area is really grassy isn't it?" Nine asks. Trinket Squad has landed in a grassy field, but it looks all to familiar too them.
"Yes, it is." Joker said.
"Don't get all sentimental or I will have you all shipped to Tatooine, where there is no grass on the entire damn planet.. Now come on, we are moving to the area deemed Sector Whiskey." The Squads Commanding Officer orders.
"Yessir..." Joker listens.
<><><>
"Your Highness, you wouldn't have called us unless Equestria's Security was in danger." General Iron Gut says. After a war that happened years ago, Iron Gut was given authority of the Special Operations Group know as Alpha Brigade. They also served as the S.W.A.T. Team when the need arises.
"It is... Remember the war the we are still rebuilding from?" Princess Celestia asks. Flashbacks zip in Iron Guts mind and he stared as if his life was flashing before his eyes, he was brought out of this trance by his Second in Command, Ripple.
"Sir..."
"Wahh... Ohh sorry uhh yes your highness. I remember well." Iron Gut stammers.
"Well, My sister has spotted something in her telescope, coming for the planet. We also so something smaller much smaller, heading for a clearing near Ponyville, I have an idea who it is, but the ship looks......Different, so does the lander... I need you and your team to investigate, if it is who I think it is, send a courier to me, if it isn't, return here to give details as it will be to dangerous for you to stick around... Understood?" Princess Celestia briefs.
"Yes ma'am, we live to serve, alright lads, lets move out!" General Iron Gut says without thinking, he heard all he needed.
"Were screwed..." Muttered Sergeant Spear Point
<><><>
"Really colorful..." Know-it-all notes.
"WOW ANOTHER FACT STATED BY THE ALL POWERFUL KNOW-IT-ALL!" Nine yells.
"What the hell is your problem?" Know-it-all counters.
"I can see that the area is colorful, you don't need to state it." Nine says.
"Ass." Know-it-all finishes.
"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP! I HAVE NEVER SEEN TWO TROOPERS FIGHT A MUCH AS YOU TWO!" The officer shouts.
"We were done anyways..." Nine mumbles.
The clones continue to scope the area, Joker continues to feel something wrong, he feels like he is doing something bad, even though he isn't doing anything at all. He spots movement in a nearby bush.
<><><>
"And then what happened next confirmed my suspicions..... I-I-I just couldn't believe it, that our Empire would do something like this, the laws....The laws that the Republic set in motion, I just...." Old Joker says.
"Orders are orders I suppose." You say.
"No, just no. Just listen well. Youll understand."
<><><>
The clones ready their weapons as the rustling becomes more apparent, the officer readies as well. A creature hops out of the bushes, along 3 others, running at full speed on their...hooves.... primitive weapons raised and readied. Battle cries wringing loud.
Upon instinct of survival and a little of defense, the clones and the officer discharge their weapons, missing more than ever did in their lives. The leader charger pins Joker on the ground, trying to bash through his helmet.
<><><>
"Keep low and move silently, this isn't an intercept mission, this is a scouting mission." Iron Gut said.
"Buck that..." Spear Point mumbles.
The team continues to move towards the clearing, hiding under the cover of the trees that surrounds them. Talking becomes more apparent as they get closer to their destination. Minutes pass as they move, silentlike, through the surrounding woods. A bunch of yelling just transpired. They finally arrive at the clearing, 5 bipedal creatures, 1 grey one and the other 4 a slight yellow shade. And as expected, the landing craft, they know 'bout space technology now after a war long ago, but they don't have the means to develop it or harvest it from a nearby wrecked Republic Warship in the Everfree Forest. Iron watches the creatures for 8 minutes before deciding on what to do.
"We are outnumbered, we need to fall back and-" The HR is interrupted.
"Buck that!" Spear Point said, pushing the General aside and rushes for the grey creature. He had always been the wildcard of the team. An terrible role in the team.
"No!" Buck, Charge!" General Iron Gut orders.

His old T-Visor begins to crack, unlike other clones when the Empire formed, he kept his Helmet and got it re-painted. The force of the four legged creatures hooves begins to prove to much for Empire/Republic armor combo. As he tries to fight back, he feels a strange force holding him down. Looking around with his eyes, Joker notices his comrades engaged in melee, and losing horrible. His T-Visor cracks even more as he tries to fight back, against the creature and the strange force, but to no avail, his arms and legs wont even budge. His helmet cracks open, revealing the sun and the red and black armored...pony....in front of him. 'Pony?' Joker thought. Closing his eyes for the next blow, he hears only one word.
"Joker?"
He opens his eyes slowly to see the pony. The voice was very familiar, very deep and strong sounding. The pony takes off his helmet to reveal a Blue Coated scarred red wavy military styled mane with black streaks pony. He remembers now. Everything.
"Iron Gut?" Joker says, realizing just who he is looking at. He feels the force around him dissipate.
"You know this thing?" A feminine sounding pony asks.
"Yes Ripple I-- Right you were a Admiral during those days. You were at sea. This is Jo-" A loud sound is heard, everyone looks over to see the Empire Officer execute one of the ponies.
"Enough with this!" He yells, kicking Iron Gut in the face and knocking out "Ripple", he looks over at the other pony, who is waving an actual small white flag.
<><><>
"Alright, execute these rebel sympathizers." The Officer orders. They dragged the ponies and tied them each to a tree.
"What sir?"
"You heard me, show your squad that your a leader and kill them!"
Joker looks over to his squad, they look back at him, they are all thinking the same thing. They know whats happening next.
<><><>
"We did what had to do." Old Joker says.
<><><>
"Ready! Aim!" Joker says, focusing his sights on the officer, as does his squad. The officer has no idea.
"Sorry sir."
"Huh?" The Officer says, turning around.
"FIRE!"
Four shots ring out. Each hitting the Officer. He falls to his knees and looks his killers in the eyes, although he can only see Jokers.
"Rebel........Scum......." He says, falling over dead.
<><><>
"We did what we had to do.....To keep that world safe, when we were on it. We found joy there we never found anywhere else. We vowed that day to keep that planet safe, we would fight to the very end. Our fate was sealed. We became Rebels that day."
