Coruscant: Jedi Temple, three weeks before the end of the Clone Wars.

"Master Malek, we're pleased that you would join us." Mace Windu says to James.

"The pleasure is all mine masters, I take it you have an assignment for me?" James responds. “It’s unlike the council to call someone up to chat.”

"Indeed, we have intercepted a transmission that suggests the separatists may be launching an assault on a system identified as EQT88." Mace Windu confirms.

"EQT88? But that's a peaceful planet, I doubt the inhabitants even know about the war, given the planet is only identified by it’s basic code, the Separatists would not dare!" James says.

"Even so, They are.” Mace Windu continues. “I want you to take a battalion of clones to intercept them, and keep them from landing on the planet if possible."

"I will do my best master." James says, bowing before leaving the conference room.

"May the force be with you, James Malek" Windu says as James leaves.

After James leaves, Obi Wan speaks up.

"Are you sure he should be doing this assignment alone?" Obi Wan asks. " he did turn to the dark side once, I don't trust him."

"Turn to the dark side, he did, but back to the light he came, handle himself, Master Malek can" Yoda responds.

"I hope your right, for his sake, and ours." Obi Wan says.

--
As James makes his way to the Acclamator class cruiser, a younger Jedi with a few holes burned into his robes, which would only result from blaster fire, comes running up to him.

"Master!" The young Jedi exclaims.

"Jaden?” James turns around to see his apprentice. “how’ve you been? I thought you were on the Christophsis system!"

"Just got back a few moments ago. so, you off on another mission?" Jaden asks.

"Yes, apparently the Separatists thought it would be a good idea to invade a peaceful planet, it's my job to make sure they don't." James nod’s his head.

"Well then, good luck master.” Jaden pat’s James on the shoulder. “and try not to destroy too many of our own ships this time!"

"You will never let me live that down, will you?" James asks, raising an eyebrow at his apprentice.

"Nope!" Jaden responds.

"Well, goodbye my young Padawan, and may the force be with you." James says, boarding the acclamator star cruiser.

"May the force be with you, master." Jaden says back as the ship’s loading platform closes, and shortly thereafter, takes off.

--

"Status report" James says as he enters the bridge.

"We will be arriving at our destination in a few moments sir." The bridge commander says.

"Very good, and let's try to be quick about this, I don't want another run-in with an entire fleet of re-enforcements like last time!" James says, stifling a shudder at the memory.

"Yes sir" The commander says.

The pilot begins to speak. "Sir, we’ll be arriving in ten seconds."

James grabs the handrail of the stairs he just climbed down. “Get ready men, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

“Five seconds, four, three, two, one second, NOW!”

The ship exits hyperspace only to be met with a massive droid star cruiser, and a number of frigates as well, and their ship is immediately under fire.

"Launch all Arc-170's and V-Wings, get those droid ships out of commission!" The captain of the ship exclaims.

James see’s the battle quickly going sour, then grabs the intercom mic. “Blue Squadron, to your fighters.” James runs towards the bridge doors. “Hold the ship on one piece, I’ll be right back.” and with that, he runs out the door down to the hangar.

“This is where the fun begins.” The captain says as James leaves.

--
James runs into the hangar and quickly gets to his small Jedi starfighter, getting himself strapped in, and his comlink hooked up. “Alright, all or nothing.” James mutters as he activates his triangular ship and exits the hangar through the opening in the middle.

“This is Blue leader, all wings check in.” James calls through his comlink.

“Blue one, standing by.”

“Blue five, standing by.”

“Blue four, standing by.”

“Blue two, standing by.”

“Blue three, standing by.”

“Blue six, standing by.”

James smiles, knowing he’s got his full strike team assembled. “Alright team, attack pattern delta, let’s give ‘em hell.”

Blue squadron uniformly moves closer to one of the three Banking Clan Frigates. “Alright, let’s do this nice and easy, four and six, take out the engines, two, you’re on the auto turrets, one, three, five, with me, formation Q317.” James commands over his comlink.

The ships break their current formation as blue 4 and six go to the rear of the ship, blue two flies around the ship, taking out all possible auto turrets, and Blue one, three, and five surround James’s ship in a triangle using the wings of their ‘T’ shaped fighters.

“Alright, let’s go for the Shield generator, and the main reactor.” James commands again. “Four, Six, you got the engines down yet?”

“Almost there sir.” The voice of a clone trooper calls back to James.

“Very good, Five, Three, you go for the main reactor, One, with me.”

“Yes sir” all three voices call at once.

The protective formation splits as Blue Five and Three head to take out the main reactor.

“Blue One, formation beta X32, use a pulse missile first to disable the shield, then give it all you’ve got.” James looks over and nod’s to his companion in the other cockpit before they split apart, fly around, and head back towards the ship side by side. “We need to time it just right, too soon and we’ll hit the wrong part of the ship, too late, and we may hit one of our own.”

James and Blue 1 increase their speed as they fly towards their target. “Blue one, fire pulse missiles now!” James calls as he, and his companion, both fire their pulse missiles at the left “wing” of the frigate, and immediately the shield starts to recede. “we don’t have much time, fire everything!”

Then, a of voice come over the comlink. “Sir, the engines are destroyed.”

“Good, five, three, you have the main reactor destroyed yet?” James calls over the communication link.

“Just abou- MOVE! IT’S GONNA BLOW!” Blue three calls over the link.

James, and Blue’s one through six speed away from the frigate as it explodes, sending debris flying in many directions.

“Watch that flying debris boys.” James hollers, shortly before his ship is struck by a questionably fast moving piece of debris. “I’m hit, continue the mission, I’ll se what I can do from the planet’s surface.”

“Yes general, we understand.” Is the only response he gets.

As James burns through the atmosphere of the planet, he does his best to avoid any cities or towns, but not avoid them too much, he needs to get to civilization.

"there, a small town, CRAP, I'm heading straight for it!" James says as he pulls the ship a bit to the left, in an attempt to not hit the town.

"Brace for impact." James says to himself.
The ship screeches and grinds against the dirt ground, sending small pieces of debris flying as it skids along the ground, the ship finally stops about 20km from where it originally touched down, it was now at the edge of a forest, and no more than 20ft from a small cottage.

"glad I didn't hit that small cottage, I don't know what I would do if I did." James says, seeing how close to the building the ship is.

“Wow, that was a rough landing, I wonder if anything in here even still works.” James says, noticing the rough shape of his Jedi Starfighter. “R7, scan the area, check for droids.”

The little orange and blue astromech beeps a response and it’s scanning antenna pops out. Shortly thereafter, it beeps again, and text written in Galactic Basic appears on James’s control screen.
“Blast, they’re right on top of me, I’d better find that town I passed, if the Federation army invades, they’d probably start with an isolated area, then hit the capital city.” James hops out of his ship, but before he runs off, he takes a look at the state of his ship from the outside. “shit, guess I’m not going to be flying this again any time soon.”
He turns towards the town and walks towards it. “Stay with the ship R7.” the droid makes a combination of beeping noises.

as James makes his way towards the town, a Federation landing craft flies overtop of him and beats him to the town, landing in the middle of one of the roads, and begins unloading battle droids and one FAT Neimoidian.

James approaches the town, but ducks behind an apple cart to avoid being seen by the Droids.

“I need to time this just right, the separatists can be very persuasive. Well, until they start blasting, I need to wait until after a droid takes a shot before I attack.” James says, as he examines the situation.

“Excuse me, but why is there an army in my town?” the mayor says.

“Ah yes, your planet has the privilege of being guarded by the separatist army, you will be protected and safe as long as we are here, I congratulate you on your good fortune!” The separatist commander says.

“Ugh, as if.” James mutters quietly.

“Our planet was safe long before your arrival, and I assure you, we do not need any protection, our princess can handle that!” Twilight says, coming out from behind the Mayor.

“But with the galactic war, it can’t hurt to have another level of protection!” The commander says back.

“War? What war? The only hint of war I see is your stupid army!” Rainbow Dash says, clearly pissed off, likely because she was busy napping before the droids arrived.

“The war that has been raging on for the past four years, that is the war I’m talking about, now, battle droids, search the town, and see if they are harboring any Republic contraband or Jedi.” The commander says, pointing in the direction he wants the droids to go.

The droids search the town, invading homes, and flipping small carts, James almost has to move, but a droid finally takes a shot, James doesn't know what for, but it causes James to leap into action, doing a front flip over the apple cart he was hiding behind, turning both his lightsabers on as he does, the one in his right hand is a green lightsaber, the one in his left hand is blue.

“It’s a Jedi BLAST HIM!” one of the droids takes aim, and shortly, so do many others.

James blocks shots directed at him, and runs into the wave of droids head on, slicing a fair number of droids, but they quickly start to surround him.

The crowd that has gathered instantly becomes worried for his safety, they Mayor more so than the rest, in a panic, she does the one thing she can.

“Twilight, do something, help him, he’s in danger!” The mayor says to Twilight Sparkle.

Just as the mayor finishes talking to Twilight, James leaps into the air, all of his limbs collapsed so he’s in a tight ball, then, he outstretches his limbs very quickly, Blasting the droids away and destroying what was left of them.

He then notices that more landing craft are arriving, one has already landed, and one more is in the air. He uses the force to pick up the two of the droid ships that have landed, and slam them together, causing them to explode, Then he throws both his lightsabers at one of the ships still in the air, then leaps onto the hull, removing his sabers from the cockpit window, and then does a backflip off the ship, and throws his blue lightsaber at it’s left engine, causing it to crash down to the ground, creating yet another explosion, James turns to the commander, and points his green lightsaber at him.

“WAIT!!” Twilight calls out. "we should take him to the princess, she could get him to talk, confess what his army is up to!"

"It's not his army, he's just a commander of a small wave of droids!" James says back.

"Wait a minute? you mean that wasn't the whole army?" Rainbow dash says, clearly distraught from the news.

"Afraid not." James replies, he then taps on the communicator on his arm, now pointing his blue lightsaber at the Separatist comander, and signals his troopers in space."Captain Fox, do you read me?"

"yes sir." a voice cracks from his wrist communicator.

"I need you to sweep the planet, try to see if any other droids made it to the surface, I had a run in already." James orders, looking around for any other droids.

"Yes sir, Right away." Captain Fox replies and the comm goes dead.

"Now, why don't we take this separatist to this Princess you mentioned earlier." James says to Twilight, motioning towards the commander.

Revised Chapter one, YAY!

more to come my friends.

Chapter 2

"Now, let's take this Separatist to the princess that you mentioned..." James says to twilight, as he lifts him up with the force in order to prevent him from escaping.

"R-right, of corse, I'll take you to her. Wait a minute, there isn't another train until morning!" Twilight exclaims, complains, and scoffs all in one statement, with a clear look of displeasure on her face.

"That's no good, we need to get there NOW!" James says as he brings his hand up to his face and rubs his chin, trying to figure out a solution. “I suppose I could call a transport, but then he’d be considered a military prisoner, and taken back to the Republic for trial, so thats not a viable option.”

As Twilight was about to say something, the Separatist Commander blatantly interrupts their conversation.

"You Jedi SCUM will be purged from the galaxy, one way or another!" He pulls out a blaster pistol that must have been inside of his overcoat, and aims and fires it right at James, who quickly ignites his lightsaber and deflects the shot back, hitting the Commander right in the head.

"Well, so much for that." James mutters as he shuts off and mounts his lightsaber on his belt.
James lowers his arm, and opens his hand to let go of his telekinetic grip of the now dead commander.

"Well, now what?" Twilight says to James, hoping for answers regarding the current situation.

"Now, I suggest we search surrounding areas for droids or casualties, I suggest we start with that forest over there." James says, pointing to a forest that seems to be darker than the rest of the planet.

"th-th-the forest?" a soft, and gentle voice says, the owner of the voice comes out from behind twilight. "but, it's so, scary, and d-d-dangerous!"

James decides it would be in his best interest to obtain information regarding the identities of his acquaintances before proceeding, he needs to know if he can trust them, and knowing their names would help too.

"I think it's best we introduce ourselves to each other first then. I’ll go first, my name is James Malek, I am a member of the Jedi order, my rank is Jedi Master, and am currently fighting for the Republic in the Clone Wars, in an effort to restore peace to the galaxy." James remarks, nodding to Twilight.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, but you can call me Twilight, I am a student under our ruler, Princess Celestia, and am currently studying friendship in Ponyville, that’s where you are now." Twilight replies, turning to a brownish-orange figure with blond hair, and matching tail.

"Mah' name's Applejack, I work a Sweet Apple Acres, and considered to be Ponyville's greatest athlete, and well, that's me in short." Applejack adds, she then turns to the yellow figure with a pink tail, and matching color hair who spoke out about the forest earlier.

"um, hi, um, I'm, Fluttershy. *squeek*" Fluttershy mutters, seeming as though she’s intimidated by, something.

"HI, I'M PINKIE PIE! AND I LOVE TO THROW PARTIES, HEY! YOU’RE NEW HERE, WE SHOULD THROW YOU A PARTY!" The pink blur apparently named Pinkie Pie adds.

"Hello darling, my name is Rarity, and I work at Carousel Boutique here in Ponyville, and might I say, your style is, unique to say the least!" Rarity chimes in, apparently impressed by James' Jedi robes. “you look quite handsome I must say.”

"Well thank you for the compliment, but these are traditional Jedi robes, most Jedi wear them, hence the term, ‘Traditional’." James replies.

"‘Sup, the names Rainbow Dash, and i'm the fastest flier in all of equestria." Rainbow Dash comments, clearly boasting about her abilities.

"It's very nice to meet all of you, and, under better circumstances, I would have loved a party, I’m a sucker for them actually, however, I must make the most of my time, sorry Pinkie, I'm sure it would've been a top notch party, but I'm afraid I'll have to decline." James says, being very apologetic in his tone towards Pinkie.

"You don’t want a party?" a now sad, slightly less poofy maned Pinkie says.

"It’s not that, I do want one, I just don’t have the time right now. I'm sorry, but I feel the safety of the planet is a bit more important right now." James says, trying to reassure Pinkie Pie."now, I'd very much like to get going, anyone coming?"
Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and eventually Fluttershy, agree to come along.

As James , Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash make their way to The forest, Twilight asks James a question.

"So, that, person, back there, he-he said that the galaxy has been at war for four years, is that true?" Twilight says to James, curious to know if he was telling the truth.
James stares foreword, trying to avoid the question, but he gives up, and with a deep sigh, he answers."I'm afraid it is true, it WAS my job to make sure you didn't have any droids on the surface of this planet, you can see how well that went over." James says, pointing to his ship as they pass it." now it's my job to get rid of them from the planet, before they can take Control of it." James says, looking down, implying that even though he is part of the fighting, he does not like it.

"An entire galaxy at war, I can't even begin to comprehend that!" Twilight says, overwhelmed by the sudden confirmation that the galaxy around them is in such a severe state of Disharmony.

"I have a question for you." Rainbow Dash says." how can you do magic without a unicorn horn?"

"Yeah, how do you do that?" Pinkie Pie asks, siding with Rainbow Dash.

"Magic? I'm not sure I follow." James says, confused by the question.

"You know, lifting stuff up without touching it, that's what I mean!" Rainbow dash responds.

"Ah, you see, it's not magic, but rather, the force, it is the force that grants me those abilities." James answers, adjusting his outfit so it doesn't fall off.

"What's the force?" Applejack inquires.

"The force is what gives a Jedi his power, the force, can be a gift or a curse, it's how you use it, that determines that." James says, clearly reciting one of the records in the Jedi archives.

"Ah still don't understand what "the force" is." Applejack states, not satisfied with James answer.

"Describing the force is like describing why oxygen from a planet doesn't just fly away into space, it's very complicated." James says, not fully understanding the force himself.

"well, we're here!" Twilight exclaims as they reach the edge of the everfree forest.

"*gulp* are you sure we need to go in there?" Rainbow Dash says, in a disterbing out of character mannerism.

"What, don't tell me your afraid of the creatures in there!" James says, partially mocking the cyan Pegasus.

"It's not just that, but in there, the animals, they take care of them selfs, the plants and trees grow, and worst of all, the clouds move, ALL BY THEMSELVES!" Rainbow Dash responds.

"Really? you would not last one day on another planet!" James says, openly mocking the pegasus.

"Why not?" all six of them say in an eerie Unison.

"Hate to brake it too you, but that's the way, about, 100% of the other planets work!" James says, revealing a 'freighting fact' to all of them.

"You mean we, wow, we are such a minority here!" Rainbow Dash says.

"Hey author, stop giving Rainbow Dash all the lines!" pinkie pie says.

"Well excuse me, but would you like to write this story?" a voice from nowhere says.

"Previous comment retracted." pinkie pie says.

"What, just happened?" James says, very confused by what just transpired.

"oh, don't mind that, it's just Pinkie being Pinkie!" Twilight says.

"well, this forest isn't going to search its self, let's go!" James says as he walks casually into the forest, with the six ponies following close behind him.

“Chuck, get over here” Says a rough voice.

“Coming boss” A voice that must belong to ‘chuck’ says

“It’s been two days, no food, no gems, I need you to go into the everfree forest to look for at least one of these!” The same rough voice from earlier says, with a hint of irritation and hunger in his voice.

“Yes Sir, Right away!” Chuck says.

“Chuck, there can be no mistakes this time, remember, our leader is getting impatient!” Another rough voice says.
“Understood, Peter, Captain Iron, I’ll be on my way.” chuck says as he leaves.

“You think we can trust him?” Peter says.
“No, I’ve sent him to his death, he’s screwed so often, he won’t last a minute in there.” Captain Iron says.

“We are Diamond Dogs, we are tough, we are fierce, but we need to make up for that ‘incident’, that pony cost us half our gems, send another out who can actually scout, I’m hungry. let’s hope we never see that pony again, but if we do, we use her as a meal, not as a gem finder.” Peter replies.

“Agreed”

“I will not fail as I have before, I will get us food, or, no, AND gems, or I will end my life attempting.” Chuck says, stoping for a second. “Wait, did I say that right? Whatever, gotta find food!”

“Uh, James, do y’all know where you’re headed?” Applejack asks, feeling slightly lost.

“No Idea in the slightest, my following my instincts, trusting my feelings.” James replies.

“That doesn’t sound to promising” Rainbow Dash says, a bit irritated by James response.

“All Jedi must learn to trust their instincts, the force is what guides us, and it uses our instincts to do so.” James says, trying to explain what he meant.

“I hate to say it, but I agree with Rainbow Dash, even magic can’t ‘Guide’ Ponies to where they should go!” Twilight Interjects, clearly no satisfied with James explanation.

“Let’s just keep moving, I’m sure we’ll find something sooner or later” Fluttershy chimes in.

“Agreed!” Pinkie Pie states.

however, not far away, ‘Chuck’ is scouting for food and gems.

“I hear something!” Chuck mutters to himself as he quickly ducks down to avoid being seen. “Ponies, six of them, they would make great food for our people, wait, what’s that thing, it walks on two legs, but it does not slouch, Bah, he must have terrible balance, I’ll knock him over then take the ponies.”

“Wait, I sense something.” James says, looking around.

“What i-is it?” Fluttershy squeaks.

“I’m not sure, but I think it’s over there!” James says, pointing to the bushes.

“I’ll check it out, you six, stay behind me!” James says with a commanding tone.

‘He’s found me, what do I do?’ Chuck thinks to himself. ‘wait, when he get’s close, I’ll jump him, just as I planed!’

James walks over to the bushes and starts pushing branches out of the way, then, out of nowhere, chuck jumps him, knocking him on his back.
Twilight was about to cast a spell to fend off the Diamond Dog, but was quickly knocked down by a swift swing of his paw.
James was just getting up at this point, but Twilights friends were trying to fend off the Diamond Dog, not doing as well as they’d hoped.
“This isn’t working, I don’t know why, but I can’t hit him!” Rainbow Dash says, trying to knock the dog over, just as it rolls to the side, avoiding her. “get back here you.”
The dog continues to evade Rainbow Dash, while attempting to attack one of the others in the group, he tries to jump one of the ponies, his mistake, the one he decided to attack.
Shortly after he jumped, he was met with two orange hooves to the face followed by being tackled by a rainbow blur.

The dog struggles as Rainbow Dash and Applejack pin him down, Rainbow brings a hoof up, in order to knock him out, but James intervenes. “Wait, let me try something.”

“Oh, you did not just stop me.”

“Frankly, I did, now sit down, and for once, shut up.” James breaths a heavy sigh, and walks over to the Diamond Dog, and waves his hand in front of his face.“You don’t want to fight us, you want to run away!”

“I don’t want to fight you, I want to run away!” Chuck says shortly before shaking his head, and running off into the woods.

“How did, you just, I mean he- what?” Rainbow Dash stares in confusion at what she just witnessed.
“The force can have a very strong influence on the weak minded, and judging by the fact that he attacked a group of seven on his own, calling him weak minded would most likely be an understatement.” James responds, brushing off his cloak as he coaxes Fluttershy out of hiding.

“I agree, those ruffians aren’t very bright. I should know, I’ve dealt them before.” Rarity Chimes in.

“Well, judging by the fact that we’ve only been attacked by a local, I think it’s safe to say that there isn’t anything here, so we can head back now. Plus any droids would get stuck or lost in these woods.” James says as he activates his communicator. “Captain Fox, find anything?”
“Negative sir, the Re-enforcements must’ve taken care of the ship’s we missed.” A somewhat scratchy version of Captain Fox’s voice responds.
“Fox, patch me through to the commanding ship of our re-enforcements, I would like to know who I owe my life to this time.” James chuckles as he awaits a response.
“Yes sir” Fox replies.
“I thought I told you NOT to destroy too many of our own ships” A voice from the communicator says.
“Nice to see you to Jaden!” James says sarcastically.
“Yah, Yah, whatever, you still managed to destroy another Acclamator class!” Jaden mocks back.
“hey, we were ambushed upon arrival, had my elite squad of pilots taken care of a few of those frigates, we’d be out more than just a few ships and a star cruiser.” James barks back, though he seems to be in a good mood, as he is smiling as he says it.

“No need to shout, just pointing out a fact.” Jaden responds.

“Just be ready to extract me when I get to the edge of this forest.” James says, clearly finished with the conversation, and shuts off his communicator.

As James and the six ponies make their way out of the forest, Twilight decides to comment on what she just heard.

“That didn’t sound like a very peaceful conversation.”

“What’s an occasional argument between friends, besides, I bet you’re not perfect either” James responds, as Rainbow Dash and Applejack shy away.
Before too long, they reach the edge of the forest, and a shuttle is there waiting to take James back for debriefing, his downed starfighter has been removed, likely for spare parts.
“well, I guess this is goodbye, It’s been nice to know all of you” James says somewhat sad.

“Goodbye, ah wish ah could’ve shown you our orchard, it’s mighty big.” Applejack chimes.

“I’m sorry you couldn't have a party, it would've been HUGE!” Pinkie Pie says while bouncing slightly off the ground.

“I wish I could’ve had time to look over your outfit, I could’ve made it Fabulous!” Rarity says, being the ‘Fashion fanatic’ that she is.

“Um, it’s been nice knowing you, and um, I hope you come again, u-under better circumstances of course.” Fluttershy says quietly.

“If you were here for longer, I could’ve had time to study you, learn more about you, I’m sure Lyra would’ve loved to have a chat with you, but I Digest, oh wait, it’s digress isn’t it…” Twilight says, trailing off into thought. “Bah, to heck with it, goodbye, my friend.”
After Twilight had finished, she and her five friends trotted of into ponyville.

“Sir, are you coming?” A clone trooper asks from inside the shuttle.

“Yes, I just need to do something first, for their safety” James replies, breathing another heavy sigh. “This may take all my energy, be prepared to grab my if I faint”
As James finishes speaking, he raises his arms and lift’s his hand’s and begins to focus harder than he’s ever had to.
‘I wish it didn’t have to be this way, I wish that you could all remember me, but I must remove myself from your world, completely, otherwise it may have terrible consequences’ James thinks to himself, doing his best to erase the events of the day and replace them with meaningless, everyday activities, from all the minds in ponyville.
James believes he finished erasing his existence, but to check would undo it, one glimpse of his face, and the memories would come back like water from a broken dam.
As James lowers his arms, he falters a bit, losing his balance form overexertion of his force abilities, and as he told the clones to do, they come and carry his body onto the shuttle, as it leaves, James says something only the two troopers holing him up could hear. “Keep...Safe...No contact.” and with these words, he falls asleep, never to return to Equestria, or so James thought.

Chapter update No. 2! YEAHHH!!

Chapter 3

James sat in the sleeping quarters of the Venator class starship “the Salvation”, they were nothing special, just a grey room with 6’ long by 4’ high by 4’ deep cubicles, each one with a blue matt for a little coverage so the clones and Jedi didn’t have to sleep on cold metal, some drawers so they could store some equipment, like a small pistol, or clothes.

There were many other quarters on the ship, each one almost identical to this one, about 20-50 cubicles with 10-25 bathrooms, needless to say, it took up a lot of room.
Despite all of this, he found himself unable not to think about the event's that had transpired on the planet.

It's natural for any Jedi who uses 'mass mind trick/mind wipe' to pass out after they use the power, it exerts even the most powerful Jedi more than any other power, and it is even more normal for the Jedi to worry they messed up, and either erased the subject entire memory, erased everything EXEPT them selfs from their memory, didn’t erase themselves entirely, or else, didn't erase everyone's mind.
But that wasn't what was bothering him, what was, was the fact that the six 'ponies' as they called themselves, he met, seemed to have a connection to the force, a very powerful connection, maybe even more than Skywalker!

"Bah, who am I kidding, Skywalker's the chosen one, the most powerful in the force, the one to bring balance to the force, right?" James ask's to no one in particular.

"Who're you talking to?" a voice says from behind James.

"Oh JEEZ, Dangit Jaden!" James says, half surprised, half traumatized.

"you still haven't answered my question, Who were you talking to?" Jaden ask's again in a sarcastic yet serious tone.

"I wasn't talking to anyone, just the walls." James replies in a mono tone sarcastic voice, as though he's hiding something.

"Right, and why, might I ask, were you talking about Anakin?" Jaden ask's, curious as to what his old master was trying to hide.

"well, it's nothing really." James replies, trying to burry the topic.

"no, you seemed stumped, and that's never a good thing, Remember what happened last time?" Jaden interjects, yet keeping a joking tone in his voice.

"Yah yah, three Acclamators and two Venators destroyed, no need to rub it in." James says back sarcastically as Jaden walks over to James.

"well, not what I was getting at, but Master, if something is troubling you, maybe I can help, you just have to let me!" Jaden says to his Master, clearly begging to know what he's hiding.
James stoops in defeat, and decides it's best to tell the person he's closest to, His apprentice.

"when I arrived, it was like any other planet, different kinds of creatures being the intelligent life of the planet, however, while I was there, I sensed the force, not like you and I sense it now, living and giving us strength, but, powerful, as though there was a great master of the force, or a force sensitive with a high midi-chlorian count." James face shows that he is beginning to stoop into thought after the last few words, causing Jaden to ask further questions.

"But what, there are force sensitives on almost all planets, it’s the nature of the force, so you’re not telling me everything, are you?" Jaden Inquires.

"No, I’m not. Never in all my days as a Jedi did I sense a connection to the force greater than this, nor even close to matching this, and the connection, it wasn't one powerful force sensitive, it was six!" James continues. "Six very powerful force sensitives."
Jaden takes James pause as a chance to ask more questions.

"so, six force sensitives, that's good, right?"

"you'd think so, but, they each had a connection to the force so powerful, saying it was more than Yoda's connection would be an Understatement!"

"wait, your saying these six had a connection almost as powerful as Anakin Skywalker?" Jaden asks, now just as stumped as his master was before they started this conversation.

"Not almost as powerful, More powerful"

"Holy Sith-Spit! are you serious?"

"Yes I am, I didn't say anything about it, heck, I didn't even really THINK about it until now!" James replies.

"woah, total universe splitter there!"

"But that's not it, it's almost as if their connection was shared, it was separate, but shared at the same time!" James adds.

"That's messed up." Jaden says as he heads out the door, but pauses before leaving.

"by the way, we'll be arriving at Couracaunt in a few minutes."

"I guess that means I should get cleaned up, huh." James gripes.

"Quit griping" Jaden says.

"I like griping" James responds

“Whatever, just get cleaned up, your hair’s a mess.” Jaden says chuckling at his master.

“You know what?” James says holding his fist up, then drops it. “forget it, I should get
clened up anyways.”

“No kidding.” Jaden responds, with a bit of a laugh in his tone.

“Get out of my room” James says jokingly.

“This isn’t your room, it’s the crews quarters!” Jaden replies, apparently still in a joking mood.

“You know what I meant, let me get cleaned up, and tell the captain that I’ll be there shortly!” James says in a now serious tone.

“No need for hostilities, we’re all Republic forces here right?” Jaden says as he finally leaves the room, leaving James to his thoughts once more.
‘Had all that really happened’ James thinks to himself. ‘were there really six powerful force sensitives? or am I just going crazy?’

“Well, all things aside, I should get cleaned up” James says as he heads for the Bathroom to get cleaned up.

as James washes his short hair under the warm water of the shower, he finds himself lost in thought once more.
‘What kind of impact did I make in that world? Had I even made an impact? Am I forgotten like I should be, or do I linger in their thoughts?’ James continues to think, when all of a sudden, the intercom comes online and James listens to what the captain has to say.
“All hands, we will be arriving in five minutes, please strap in and prepare for arrival!” The captain says over the intercom.

“Guess that’s my cue to get dressed huh.” James says as he shuts off the water and dry’s himself off with a nearby towel, and begins to put his Jedi Robes back on.

James was heading for his debriefing, but stopped for a moment, and thought ‘should I tell them?’, he quickly removed the thought from his mind for the moment, and headed into the room for his debriefing with the Jedi Council.
The “room” was actually just the Council Chambers where the meetings were held, the chambers had a reddish-brown dot in the middle which had some artistic designs that can’t be fully explained, and a yellow circle surrounded the dot and had other designs that seemed to “Point” to the middle, and a final circle, the same color as the dot in the middle, with no designs on it, and the council members chairs along the outside circle, each one a bluish-grey with red cushions.

“Master’s, it’s a pleasure to see you again” James says as he respectfully bows to his superiors.

“Likewise, now to business, we have much to discus” Mace Windu Says to James.

“yes, indeed we do.” James folds his arms behind his back.

“First off, how did your Starfighter wind up planet side?” Windu Asks.

“Well, it was caught by debris from the explosion of a droid frigate.” James replies to Master Windu’s Question.

“Alright, next question, were all the droid forces eliminated?” Windu inquires.

“Yes”

Windu glances over left and right to the other council members, as if to ask them if they sensed anything off about the simplicity of James’ response, getting no response from the other council members, Windu asks the final question.

“Finally, did you find anything you think the council should know about?”
Now James was worried, should he tell him about the six he met? No, better if they remained in the dark about it.

“No, nothing above the usual telekinetic abilities of some species, and flight of others” James says, hoping to burry the topic.

“Very well, you are dismissed.” Master Windu says, letting James leave.

“Farewell Master’s, and may the Force be with you.” James remarks as he bows again, then leaves the room, happy the interview is over.

James walks to his chambers, to meditate, and to regain his strength, but is stopped short by his former apprentice, Jaden.

“Hey, master, how’d it go?”

“Oh, hey, it went good, I guess.”James responds, then quickly turns the questions on Jaden “why are you asking? You’re not really one to pry, so whats up?”

“Well, it’s just that, you were gone for a week and a half, yet, you seemed as though you hadn’t even spent an entire day away from here” Jaden rubs the back of his neck with a half quizzical, half confused look on his face.

“A week and a half? no, I’m sure I was only there for a few hours.” James raises his left eyebrow in confusion. “Then again, that was an uncharted planet, maybe it’s timeframe is different than ours.”

“Maybe, anyway, just thought I’d see how things went, you should rest up, I heard that General Kota is going to need some assistance, but he only wants a Jedi, you know his standpoint on clones” Jaden points out.

“Well yeah, I actually agree with him, sort-of.”

“Sort of? How can you ’Sort-of’ agree with him?”

“Well, I don’t trust the clones, but I’m not going to let that stop them from trusting and helping me.”

“True enough, anyway, I got a call, Kento need’s help on the Nar Shaddaa system, I’m heading there in a few minutes with a squad of troopers to assist him.” Jaden says with a mono-tone voice, as if he’s reading information off a piece of paper.

“I see, well good luck, and may the force be with you.” James says to his former aprentice, with a sincere tone in his voice.

“May the force be with you too, master” Jaden responds shortly before turning and walking away, leaving James alone to his thoughts.

‘what’s going on, the six force-sensitives, Kota needing help, and Kento needing help, this is very unusual’ James thinks to himself, then, quickly dismissing his thoughts for the moment, then, he opens the door to his right and enters into his chambers.
they’re not mucfh, just a small twin-size bed with a red blanket and pillow to the left of the room, a small chrome dresser and drawers to the right, with a door at the far end which leads to the washroom.

“Home sweet cubicle, I guess it’s better than the crews quarters on a starship but still.” James sighs as he enters his ‘room’ James removes his heavy outer robe and sets it down on the dresser, he sits on the bed and crosses his legs, placing his arms and hands on top of them, closing his eyes, he begins to meditate, focusing on the planet he had just come from, EQT88, if he remembered correctly.

James focused hard, then, an image came into view, it was, the planet it self, no, that won’t do, need to go in farther, the image changed, he saw a White Pony with wings and a horn, seeming to be in a conversation, he focused harder to try to hear, all he got was “Bananas”, giving up, he tries to find the area he’d been, which wasn’t far off, he found one of the ponies he’d met, Twilight was her name, she seemed like she was puzzled, as if she knew something, like a memory that should be there, but isn’t.
James focuses again, trying to hear what she’s saying, then, he gets it.
“Spike! I’m telling you, my head hurts like crazy, it’s like that time shadow blaster tried to wipe my memory, I had a headache for WEEKS!”
“I’m telling you Twilight, you just fell out of bed.”
“But I don’t remember any of what happened yesterday! and it’s driving me CRAZY!!”

James decides that meditation can wait, he needs his rest after all.

Three days later

“Masters” James says as he bows, once again in the council chambers.

“Welcome back James, we’ve recived word that Master Rahm Kota is in need of assistance, we’ve decided to send you to aid him and his men.” Master Windu says to James.

“Me? What about Anakin or Obi-Wan, they’re much more qualified than I am.” James replies, confused as to why the council chose him.

“Anakin and Obi-Wan are currently on an assignment, do you accept your mission, or do we need to call in another Jedi?” Windu responds.

“I see, of corse I accept, I’ll leave right away.”

“Good, may the force be with you” Windu says, dismissing James.

“Thank you masters” James bows, and leaves the chambers, heading for a starship, then he remembers, Kota doesn’t like Clones, best to take a small ship, an old smugglers ship which has been repurposed for use as a transport ship, something like, the Ebon Hawk.

*Flashback*

“Master, you can’t be serious, thats from the days of the old republic, the time of Revan and Malak, and the Star-forge!”

“That’s why I like it, I’m going to keep the shell, and completely re-work the insides, she’s run like she was just made yesterday!”

*End Flashback*

“heh, good times.” James mutters to himself.
He heads to the hangar, to his personal bay, and goes into his pride and prize, the Ebon Hawk.

“Dang nabbit, I can never find my way around in this thing, oh, theres the cockpit.” James complains as he wanders around the inside of the ship, coming to a stop at the cockpit.

“Let’s get this old bird off the ground!” James says manning the controls, launching the ship into the air.
as the ship takes off, James begins to wonder, ‘What are Anakin and Obi-Wan up to?’

he decides to give them a call, but he is left unanswered, then, he gets into space.

“Hold your fire! You’re not helping here!” Obi-Wan yells to Anakin over the radio headsets.

“I agree, bad idea.” Anakin responds as he pulls his ship to the right of Obi-Wan’s, and scrapes the ‘wing’ of Obi-Wan’s using his ‘wing’ to destroy the Buzz Droids.

“Move to your right” Anakin says to Obi-Wan.

“Hold on Anakin, you’re going to get us BOTH killed!” Obi-Wan says “go on without me, there’s nothing more you can do!”

“I’m not leaving without you master” Anakin says as he scrapes the other ‘wing’ of Obi-Wan’s Starfighter, catching a Buzz Droid onto his, the Droid ‘walks’ over next to Anakin’s astromech, R2-D2, who takes out a tazer-like object, and attacks the Buzz Droid.

“Hit ‘em R2!” Anakin says as the Buzz droid tries to work an attack on R2-D2. “Watch out”

“R2, hit the Buzz Droid, Center eye!” Obi-Wan comments, then, R2 zapps the Buzz Droid where Obi-Wan told him to, destroying the eye, and disabling the droid.

“So thats what they’re up to” James says as he passes by the massive space battle that’s taking place.

“Hyperspace co-ordinates locked in, Preparing to jump in three, two, one.” James says as his ship makes it’s jump to hyperspace. “here we go, first mission on Maramere, this should be fun!”

Revised chapter three WOO-HOO!!

Chapter 4 to follow.

Chapter 4

James sat in the pilots seat of the Ebon Hawk, pressing a few buttons and flipping a few switches to prepare to exit hyperspace, hoping to go straight from space to the planets surface, he has no such luck.

"Exiting hyperspace in three, two, one." The Ebon Hawk exits hyperspace into a massive space battle.

"HOLY SITH!" James makes an emergency swerve to the left to avoid oncoming blaster fire, causing the ship to bank at a ninety degree angle.

"This isn't good!" James re-alines the pitch of his ship, making it level, then, he presses a few buttons on the main dashboard of the cockpit, contacting General Kota on the surface.

"Master Kota, this is James Malek, I've arrived to-"

"I know why you're here, boy, now get down here and do it!" Kota cuts James off, much to his irritation.

"I would, if there wasn't half the Separatist army up here in orbit!" James yells back, hoping the auto-turrets he installed are working.

"I don't care what's happening up there, get your lousy starship on planet NOW, or there won't be any of us left!"

"Understood General." James says, very irritated by the way Master Kota was bossing him around.

"Respected General? Maybe. Kind? not at all." James mutters as he increases his speed to break through the Separatist fleet just outside the planets atmosphere.

As James flies through, his ship is shot at, and only a few lasers connect with his ship, causing minimal damage, but a few somehow explode just beside his ship, causing it to shake.

"Stop shooting at me, damn droids!" James shouts as he sets the ship to land on the island that Kota and his forces are on, and slides over to the gunners seat, and mans the heavy turrets. "eat heat and carbon clankers."

James targets a few vulture droids, taking them out rather quickly, he then spins the turret thirty degrees to the right, and releases a blaze of laser shots at a droid dropship, taking it out by destroying part of the cockpit, then, James notices a red notification on the main screen.

"Missile lock? Banta-fodder!" James flips over to the pilots seat, taking the ship off auto pilot.
"I hope this works!"

He twists and pulls back on the control stick, causing his ship to angle thirty degrees to the right, and slow down, allowing the missiles to pass by.

"Bombs away"

He presses a button on the Control panel, launching missiles at the missiles, destroying them, allowing James to re-activate auto pilot, and get back in the gunners chair.

"Flares are too boring anyway. Now, let’s see how you like THIS!" James begins to free-fire, not using any form of aiming, which is proving quite effective, taking out seven vulture droids, a few hyena bombers, and two transport gunships.

Then, he gets a message from Kota. “You’re doing well up there, boy, but we need you down here, we’re losing this battle, we can take care of those starships later.”

“Alright, alright, keep the landing site clear, I don’t plan on making another approach.”

“Understood, now, let’s go, we’ve got a battle to win here!”

James retakes control of his ship, and speeds towards the island, slowing as he approaches the landing site, and extends the landing gear as he lowers the ship onto the ground.

Once his ship is on the ground, James lowers the exit platform, and walks out onto the surface of the island, where General Kota is waiting to meet him. “Well, hello there.”

“Greetings, General Kota.” James says, before quickly adding. “Isn’t there a battle going on?”

“Indeed there is, you know, for a minute, I was worried you’d bring clone troopers.”

“Nope, no clones, just me.”

“Good, I never trusted those clone troopers.”

“So I’ve heard. Where is the battle happening?”

“Oh, it’s just over that hill, we should go, my men might need some help.”

“Right, lets go.”

With their little conversation over, Kota and James rush over the hill to see the battle, which, when they get there, looks more like a droid attack on a few soldiers.

“This doesn’t look good.” James mutters worriedly.

“Why do you think I called for help, we’re dwindling in numbers, now, let’s go get rid of this droid infestation, shall we?”

“Let’s do this.”

James and Kota ignite their lightsabers, and run into the battle, Kota throws his lightsaber at one of the droid tanks, and cut’s off it’s main gun, James kicks a droid in the head and throws his green lightsaber underneath his raised leg and takes out four more droids before using the force to bring his saber back to him.

“Sir!” one of Kota’s men called “those MTT’s are too strong, we can’t seem to get past their armor!”

“Leave that to me.” James says, shortly before running over, grabbing a sniper rifle off the ground, and, using the force to aid him, brings the riffle scope up to his eye, and pulls the trigger at the base of the riffle. The laser directly impacts the fuel cell of one of the MTT’s, effectively destroying it in a blaze of orange and red. “now, aim for the fuel cells, it’s their weak point!”

A small group of Kota’s men aim their blasters at the MTT’s fuel cells, destroying the line in their path, providing a way for James, Kota, and Kota’s militia to enter the droid facility which the MTT’s were protecting.

“Not bad, you seem to know a lot about how to take out battle droids.” Kota commends James. “but we need to get in that facility, if we take it down, droid production will drop, this could be the push the Republic needs to WIN this war, now let’s go!”

James puts his now disengaged Lightsabers back on his belt, and walks beside Kota, who has his Saber in his hand, also disengaged.

“So, the Battle Droids weren’t the problem, those tanks were. now what?” James turns to Kota for a response.

“Now, we take down that droid facility. Weren’t you listening?”

“Right, sorry about that, I just got off another mission and haven’t had much of a chance to re-compose myself.” James admits, regretting asking about their next move.

“Don’t blame yourself, we’re all a bit off our game, but taking this base could change all of that.” Kota sympathizes with James, rubbing his eyes as he does so.

No more words were said as they made their way up to the front of the base. once there, Kota and James just looked at each other, nodded, and began to cut a big hole in the front door with their Lightsabers. Once the door was ‘open’ James, Kota, and his men all walked in, and were met with nothing.

“No security droids, something isn’t right here.” James perceives as he walks over to a closed door, where he presses his ear to it.

“What can you hear?” one of Kota’s men queries James.

“Nothing, it’s as if the whole place has gone silent.” James steps back from the door, and crouches down, with his hands holding an invisible ball behind him. “stand back, I don’t want any un-necessary deaths.”

With those words, everyone, save James, stepped back as James pushed his hands out in front of him very quickly, and where there was once a door, there now stood a hole which lead to the rest of the base.

“Still nothing, there’s no way we got rid of all of them” James contemplates their current situation, then turns to Kota’s private army. “I say we split up, there’s two corridors, and two Jedi, General Kota will take a team down the left, and I will take another team down the right. Any questions?”

“Just one, when did you become the leader?” Kota protests, distinctly irritated by James sudden rise to command.

“Do you have a better plan?”

“Well no, but-”

“That’s what I thought, now, move out, we have a lot of base to cover, and not a lot of time to do so.”

No more words were said as half of Kota’s militia are lead by Kota, the other half by James, as they go their separate ways. James to the right, Kota to the left.
While James and his team made their way through the base, they found lots of deactivated battle droids, which wouldn’t be unusual, if it wasn’t for the fact that they were still at their stations.

“Something isn’t right here, I need to check the main computer, which should be right around the corner.” James heads around the corner, and sure enough, there was the main computer. “what secrets do you hold?”

James begins working away at the console, until a message appears on the screen.

“The war is over, power down”

“War is over, that’s not right, when was this sent?” he looks down to the bottom corner, where the date is placed.

“19bby 31174-11”

“Th-That’s next week!” James steps away from the computer in fear. “If this is true, that means the war ends in one week’s time!” James stars to hyperventilate, but then, he notices a small, flashing light. Being curious, he moves in for a closer look, and as soon as he touches it, there’s a loud ringing, a bright flash of light, and a shockwave that knocks James back four or five feet.

“Okay, what the hell was that?” One of the soldiers in James’ division of soldiers comments.

“I’m not sure.” James brings his communicator up so he can use it. “Kota, please tell me you’re still here.”

“Glad to hear you’re not dead, we heard a loud noise, and saw a bright flash of light, but when we came to help, you were gone.”

“Wait, gone, for how long?”

“About a week now, why is that important?”

“One week, one week, one weEK! SITH SPIT!” James runs down the corridor, and motions for his battalion to follow. “Kota, we need to get out of here, NOW.”

“What’s the rush, I just got a message from the Jedi temple, the war is over, all we need to do is go back.”

“Wait, so our side won?”

“Yes, now hurry up, I’d like to rendezvous outside, and since you seem so keen on leaving, I’ll even go with you on your ship.”

James reaches the front of the base just as Kota finishes his sentence. “Ah, good to see you, now, I know I said I’d go with you in your ship, but it seems the republic wants to take us all back in one of their star cruisers.”

James was about to breath a sigh of relief, then he saw what was happening, they were unloading clone troopers, and they all had their blasters drawn, and aimed at James and Kota.

“General Kota, you were right, they do want to take us back in a star cruiser, but in body bags, RUN!”

As they ran, blaster fire could be heard, and a few of Kota’s men fell to onslaught of clone trooper blaster fire. James drew his blue lightsaber and began blocking shots which would have ended him had he not done so, Kota soon follows suit.

“Master Kota, we’re almost to my ship, I think we can all fit in it.” James brings his communicator up again. “R7, start the primary ignition sequence, code Delta Bata seven seven Echo Niner four, and open the main boarding ramp as well.”

It doesn’t take long before they reach the Ebon Hawk, once they do, James and Kota protect it as Kota’s men board.

“Well, this isn’t how I planned to spend my last mission, fighting my own political view.”

“Neither did I, but as I’ve said before, I never trusted those clone troopers.”

Soon, all of Kota’s men were on board, once they were, James and Kota made a brake for the entrance ramp.

“R7, take off NOW!” James barks as his astromech uses it’s dongle to spin a control disk and launch the ship. “Well, that was fun.”

What do you think?

Interesting arc there. Just what was that little divice?

I'm probably never going to tell you, like every good story, PLOT-HOLE!!
